In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below.
Eunuch Huang, on the other hand, was in front of the palace reciting the 800-mile expedited memorial that he had just shown to Luo Zhang and the others in the imperial study.
When it was heard that the Tibetans and the Western Turks launched an attack on them at the same time, the whole court was in an uproar.
You know, the Tang Dynasty is now at its peak. Not only did they wipe out the Eastern Turks and occupy their territory, they also went on an expedition to Gaogouli, destroyed Gaogouli, and recovered the Liaodong Peninsula.
For each of these items, let alone the Han Dynasty, no dynasty can do this.
Supposedly, with such a powerful Tang Dynasty, how could Tubo dare to attack them? Aren't you afraid of being destroyed?
They actually joined forces with the Western Turks to launch an attack! !
This is looking for death!
After the uproar, everyone, whether they were civil servants or military generals, clamored to destroy Tibet and destroy the Western Turks.
Li Shimin was very pleased to see the scene below. In the past, it was the military attachés who were shouting there, while most of the civil servants looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.
However, since Changsun Wuji fell and fled, the atmosphere in the court has also changed a lot.
The most intuitive thing is that they no longer push each other and attack each other's difficulties as before. It is so simple, but it is not easy to put it in the court.
Especially now, the civil servants are actually clamoring to destroy Tubo. When have we seen this scene before?
Luo Zhang understood the thoughts of these civil servants. The territory of the Eastern Turks was divided after it was occupied.
Nowadays, a large area of land in East Turkestan is owned by various aristocratic families. Of course, the royal family occupies the lion's share, but even if they drink soup, the land is not small.
Each family can use it to raise a lot of horses. Even if they can't use them themselves, they can sell them to the royal family. This is also a considerable income.
But what is the situation now? The Western Turks actually came to attack them. Doesn't this mean they are trying to steal the cake from the mouths of civil servants like them? Who can bear it?
If you hold back now, the Western Turks will be beaten away, and the territory they occupied before will be re-divided. If you don't contribute, I'm afraid they won't give it to you again. I won't even be able to cry even if I want to.
As for the seriousness of the Tubo attack on Yumen Pass, let alone the seriousness of the Tubo attack. If the Tubo people are allowed to attack, their interests will be hit even more severely than the Eastern Turks. The Tubo people must not be allowed to attack. Entering the customs.
When it comes to vital interests, who dares to neglect, let alone shout, if we let them go to the battlefield now, I am afraid that these civil servants will rush forward screaming. This is the charm brought by money and power.
When everyone stopped shouting, Li Shimin finally said: "The situation in the north is beyond repair. You also know how difficult it is to send aid to the north, let alone the weather like this. Therefore, the north can only give up for the time being and wait until spring next year." , spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. At that time, we will regain the north and take care of the Western Turks. Then there will be no enemies in the north, and our territory in the north will be doubled again. Why not?"
"As for Yumen Pass, it must not be lost! As for why, you all know it, so reinforcement of Yumen Pass is imperative!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to lead one hundred thousand troops to Yumen Pass to fight the Turks!" Yuchi Jingde was the first to go out.
Cheng Yaojin stared at him. In the past, he was the pioneer and the first to speak out. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Jingde followed suit and knew how to seize the opportunity and was the first to come out.
When did Yuchi Laohei become so smart? Did his mother-in-law teach him? Otherwise, why would he have such a big head?
Yuchi Jingde was just the first one. Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, etc. all went out to ask for orders and asked for help at Yumen Pass.
Luo Zhang did not move and stood there quietly. No matter how much they begged His Majesty, Li Shimin would not go back on what had been decided.
"Okay, you all don't want to leave the club anymore, I'll think about it freely!" Li Shimin waved his hand, interrupting everyone's words.
Then he looked at Luo Zhang behind him and said, "Luo Zhang!!!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Luo Zhang came out of class and bowed to salute.
"I order you to bring 30,000 cavalry to the rescue of Yumen Pass. They must arrive within three days. Can you do it?" Li Shimin said solemnly.
Luo Zhang was stunned. This is different from what he said in the imperial study room. Three days? Three days is enough, at least five days are needed! That's not that far away. Do you really think that my buddy has a car and a small plane? It went by in a flash!
