In the Liangyi Palace, Turks attacked in large numbers... After Pei Shiju's interpretation, the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
Especially when Li Yuan asked about specific matters, Pei Shiju did not involve Li Shan... Princess Pingyang's face looked much better.
If you want to pull it off, you can really pull it in... If you hadn't captured and humiliated Yugushe twice, would Jieli Khan be the same?
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Daizhou Army... Can Ma Sanbao and Su Dingfang be worthy of the important task?"
Although he didn't mention his name, it was obvious that he was only asking one person, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shimin.
"Both of them have military exploits, and they were colleagues in the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun." Li Shimin said slowly: "If we don't leave the fortress, we can hold on to Yanmen Pass... Of course, if Jieli Khan ignores the heavy casualties and attacks with all his strength, he will eventually be defeated. The day of closure.”
This sentence was so... so tactful that even Li Jiancheng, the prince opposite, couldn't help but curse. When did the second brother learn this trick? !
First of all, it was pointed out that both generals are capable and there is no problem in their cooperation. However, it was also pointed out that if there are no reinforcements and only rely on the Daizhou Army, it is possible to lose the position if they hold on for a long time.
But... there are a bunch of people in the hall, big and small, old and young, all of them are foxes. Who can't understand the implication of this sentence?
Li Shimin has handed over the decision-making power to Li Yuan. It is up to you, father, to decide whether to send reinforcements northward.
Under normal circumstances, in such a large-scale war, the city will appoint a military commander, with princes and princes serving as negative generals.
For example, Li Shenfu, king of Xiangyi, was the marching general of Hedong Province last year, and Li Daoxuan, king of Huaiyang, was the marching marshal of Hebei Province the year before last.
But the key to the problem is that after the Li, Tang and Li Kingdoms, for so many years, although King Li Shimin of Qin once defeated Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, in general, the northern warlords and Turks had the upper hand.
For example, in the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan led 50,000 cavalry and led Yuan Junzhang's troops to attack Hedong Road.
At that time, Jieli Khan was sitting in Xinzhou and issuing orders... Sitting on top of Taiyuan Mansion, the Turkic cavalry invaded everywhere and penetrated almost the entire Hedong Road.
The key to why Jieli Khan and Yuan Junzhang were able to loot Hedong unscrupulously lies in Yanmen Pass.
For so many years before, Yanmen Pass was almost undefended. It was obviously a dangerous place where one man was in charge and no one could access it, but it was like a brothel girl, able to spread her legs to anyone.
The former general manager of Daizhou, Li Dayen, and the later general manager of Bingzhou, Liu Shirang, and the later generals who moved Jiangxia County kilometers high, were unable to prevent the Turks from breaking through.
Although there are various reasons of this kind, one thing is for sure, they don't have much confidence in sticking to Yanmen Pass, the most competent officials in the court, the prince Li Jiancheng, and the ordinary generals in the lower limbs.
This directly led to the tilt of the military center of gravity in Hedong to the south. Daizhou was no longer the focus, but Bingzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture became a solid line of defense against the Turks.
Feng Lun said cautiously: "If reinforcements go north, I'm afraid Jieli Khan will think that a war is about to begin."
The meaning of Feng Lun's words is obvious. The reinforcements going north will likely lead to the uncontrolled expansion of the soldiers, officially kicking off the war between the two countries.
But judging from the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it is actually inappropriate to start it now.
Li Yuan, Li Shi and his son were all thinking about the same thing at this time. Although the Betty crisis was first caused by Liu Shirang and Gan Manzheng, it was Li Shan who really set off the storm.
This guy was really capable of causing trouble. At that time, the Daizhou General Administration Office was not even re-established, so he relied on his own efforts to crisscross the Northland and pull up this extraordinary Daizhou army.
I'm afraid it was Li Shan's two great victories that made the Turks suddenly realize the threat posed by the Tang army's rapidly rising strength. And because Li Shan recruited Yuan Junzhang, there was no buffer zone between Li Tang and the Turks, which led to the Turks' massive attack. Come and attack.
The hall fell silent for a moment. Feng Lun's question was not only about reinforcements from the north, but also directly related to the distribution of troops in Hedong Road. The overall battle situation... This could not be decided immediately.
Princess Pingyang didn't care and said bluntly: "What does Zhongshu Ling mean by this?"
"Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan joined forces and marched southward. Now Shuozhou is raging with war. Has the war not begun yet?"
"If we don't send reinforcements, are we going to sit back and watch Yanmen Pass be breached?"
"If Bingzhou falls and Jinyang falls, will the feudal prince be responsible?"
Princess Pingyang's face was calm, but her words were so sharp that Feng Lun was speechless and had no choice but to stand up and accuse her.
Li Yuan waved his hand, thinking over and over again in his mind to allocate troops in Hedong Road. This could not be done easily by putting on the most leather jacket and touching the lips.
In addition to the deployment of troops, there are too many factors such as food, ordnance, defense zones, etc.
Even if you consider that a war has begun, you should not make adjustments at this point. It is easy for confusion to occur and your opponent to seize the opportunity.
Princess Pingyang was a little disappointed, and she also hated Li Shan for making his own decisions. The originally planned path... returned to the court in peace, lived a good life for a few years, married a wife and had children, and had her own protection. She would definitely not be involved in the rebellion. Righteousness.
In the new dynasty in the future, whether the prince or the King of Qin ascends the throne, he will at least be able to keep Li Shan.
As a result, he knew that he was about to return to the court, but he insisted on setting up a new fort. He knew that a war was coming, and he insisted on patrolling the fortress... Now he is in despair.
Li Shan was in desperate situations twice before in Hebei and Shandong. First, he carried out a night attack and won a great victory. Then, he used his unshakable tongue to get Li Daoxuan back from Ten Thousand Army in exchange for Yu Gushe. Finally, he hatched a plan to defeat the rebels and capture and kill Liu Hei.闼.
Later, Li Shan also fell into despair in Mayi. Finally, he attacked the camp on a snowy night, captured and killed Yu Sheshe, and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender. His reputation was unparalleled for a while.
But this time, neither Princess Pingyang nor Li Shimin had much confidence.
If they were in Yanmen Pass, it would be easy to say, but now they are trapped in Guji Town, with only a thousand soldiers under their command. The strength of the troops is too disparate, and what they rely on is not the strong Guantao County, but the newly built Guji Town. Castle.
Although the Turks are not good at attacking cities and demolishing strongholds, this kind of stronghold... can cut off the flow of water with a whip, and drown even if you spit with a spit.
Princess Pingyang didn't even know how to tell Mrs. Zhu about this... Could it be that your son is so good at seeking death that that's why...
After being silent for a while, Prince Li Jiancheng spoke up and said, "Father, maybe we should set up the Marching Controller of Hedong Road and appoint the city king Daozong as the commander?"
Li Yuan was a little hesitant. This was a good strategy... Well, he was considered a top-notch He Xini.
It did not change the situation on Hedong Road, but it gave Li Daozong, the city king, the position of military commander, who would decide whether to go north to rescue Yanmen Pass.
Princess Pingyang spoke first, "Brother, this is a good move."
There was silence in the palace. Everyone knew that Princess Pingyang had never interfered with the competition between the East Palace and the Prince's Mansion, and had never shown any favoritism between the two, but today there was an exception.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
