Lishan Palace.
Headed by Prince Qi, the important ministers gathered together.
Even the military attachés such as the Governor of Jingzhao and the Commander of the Forbidden Army came, and they were all heavyweights.
But when they saw the urgent report from Binzhou, no one could remain calm.
Many people had panic expressions on their faces!
"You have all seen that Jieli Khan has led his elite cavalry, which is said to be one hundred thousand, and has attacked the border of Binzhou."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said slowly,
"If Binzhou is defeated, I am afraid that troops will soon approach the Wei River and aim directly at Chang'an!"
"It is precisely because of this that I have to hold an emergency meeting and call all of you to come up with ideas and solutions!"
"what to do!"
As the words fell, the hall became increasingly silent.
It was so quiet that each other could hear each other's breathing.
The entire audience was silent, and the atmosphere was instantly depressing to the extreme.
Li Yuan held the beads in his hand. Seeing this, he felt irritable and unhappy.
All the important ministers of the dynasty gathered together to enjoy the joys and sorrows together, but when it came time to share the hardships, why couldn't they break out? !
"Prince!"
He ordered,
"Do you have any ideas?"
Li Jiancheng was named, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He stood up and knelt down and said respectfully:
"My father is wise and wise in his judgment. He must have a solid plan in mind. My sons and ministers dare not speak nonsense about important military and state matters."
Li Yuan's expression froze.
Have a plan in mind?
I will become your XX XX!
"I have some ideas, but I want to hear your ideas now!"
Li Yuan said angrily,
"As the prince who supervises the country, you should actively speak out on military and national affairs. Why don't you dare to speak nonsense?"
"Will you also have this kind of virtue after you ascend the throne in the future?"
"Speak boldly!"
Li Jiancheng: "..."
Military is his absolute weakness.
For such an urgent and difficult matter, his mind went blank. Where could the strategy come from?
But being forced into a corner by his father's tough words, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to give Li Yuanji a look of help.
"Father, I have something to say."
Li Yuanji stood up at the right time and saluted.
"Speak." Li Yuan waved his hand, his face expressionless.
"I thought that Jieli Khan's invasion of our territory this time must not be as serious as he boasted."
Li Yuanji said loudly,
"The so-called 100,000 troops are definitely a bluff. The actual number of troops may only be 30,000 to 50,000!"
Li Yuan's expression softened slightly.
The ministers also nodded repeatedly.
Li Yuanji's words made them feel a little more at ease.
"You continue talking." Li Yuan said.
"Therefore, my father only needs to dispatch 50,000 soldiers and horses to support Binzhou. Even if he cannot solve the crisis in Binzhou, he can at least confront that Jieli."
Li Yuanji talked eloquently and said proudly,
"When Jie Li comes from afar, he will definitely be short of food and grass. If he cannot attack for a long time, he will naturally retreat."
"My son is not talented, so I am willing to lead fifty thousand soldiers and horses to meet Jieli Khan for a while and guard the country for my father!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up,
"well!"
He clapped his hands and praised,
"Yuanji is worthy of being my Qilin'er. He has courage and courage!"
"I will give you 50,000 troops. If you can successfully defeat Jieli Khan, it will be considered a great achievement for you!"
Li Yuanji was overjoyed and was about to thank him when he saw a minister suddenly come out of the queue and bowed down:
"Start your Majesty!"
"Chang'an does not have 50,000 troops to muster. Since His Majesty disbanded the Tianxiafu troops, there are only 30,000 troops inside and outside Chang'an, stationed in the inner court of the imperial city and the city defense of Jingzhao."
"If we want to mobilize troops from the border, neither the King of Ren City nor the troops from Li Shiji will be able to rush back to Chang'an Qingtian to protect us in a short time."
"By the time they arrive, I'm afraid the Turkic cavalry will have already arrived at the city!"
Li Yuan looked stunned.
The person who spoke was none other than Taichang Qing, who was also the Imperial Academy’s Imperial Academy, the Minister of the Imperial Academy, and the minister of the Imperial Academy, Dou Dan of Shangzhu Kingdom!
He was in charge of the country's affairs, so he naturally knew the distribution of the Tang Dynasty's troops very well.
"This this……"
He asked hurriedly,
"If we rush for reinforcements, how many troops and horses are available?!"
All the ministers looked at Dou Dan with uneasy expressions.
"If we ignore Chang'an and go out in full force, we can have 30,000 soldiers."
Dou Dan looked calm and said,
"If we want to defend the capital and protect His Majesty, we can only dedicate at most 8,000 soldiers and horses, or 10,000 at most."
"I believe that if your Majesty wants to send reinforcements, you can only choose the latter. Otherwise, once you are defeated, there will be no one around your Majesty to defend you, and Chang'an will become an empty city!"
Li Yuan: "!!!"
All the ministers' expressions changed.
They knew the situation was bad, but they didn't expect it to be so serious!
Li Yuanji swallowed and calmly retracted his neck.
Eight thousand?
Then make a daddy! Slipping away...
"Eight thousand, versus fifty thousand..."
Li Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Li Yuanji, and said with a hint of hope,
"Yuanji, look..."
Li Yuanji: "???"
"Father, although there have always been cases of defeating more with less, if we were to fight eight thousand against fifty thousand, the opponent would still be an elite Turk. I'm afraid..."
He said hurriedly,
"My son is self-aware and does not dare to speak nonsense again."
Refuse, can’t fight, say goodbye!
Three consecutive votes were rejected.
"well!"
Li Yuan was greatly disappointed and sighed,
"If the Turks break through Binzhou, what can be done?"
At the moment when Li Yuan's mentality exploded, Li Jiancheng suddenly stepped out of the queue.
"Father, I think you should protect yourself first and then worry about the future."
He suggested,
"The Turks are coming fiercely. It is very likely that Binzhou will not be able to defend itself, and Chang'an will also be threatened."
"The only solution for now is to move the capital!"
"My father first retreated to the Central Plains, then moved all political affairs one by one, and then burned Chang'an and turned it into a dead city!"
"In this case, it will be useless for Jieli Khan to get it. Even if he wants to attack again, he will have to travel a long distance to capture the city and seize the territory. But we can wait and work and stop the Turks!"
When Li Yuan heard this, he felt moved in his heart.
"I dare not agree with the words of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yu stood up and shouted,
"How can we hand over the country we have gained through hard work to the Turkic barbarians?! If we do this, we will lose the support of the people of the world!"
"Besides, if Jieli Khan enters the pass, with the fierceness of the Turkic cavalry, he may quickly sweep the world. Half of the world will be lost by then. If he gets involved in the Central Plains, can't we move the capital to the south?"
"They will only get stronger and stronger with plunder as supplies, and they will not get tired! By then, how will the Tang Dynasty, which only has half the world and has lost the morale of its people, face the more powerful Turks?"
"Your Majesty, think twice! Moving the capital is an act of subjugation to the country!"
Some words are inspiring!
Li Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, and Li Jiancheng's expression changed.
"What Mr. Xiao Ge said is too alarmist!"
Li Jiancheng sneered,
"Moving the capital is just a temporary expedient to protect the imperial court and my father!"
"Oh, since you are so insightful and strategic, tell me, if we don't move the capital, what should we do now? Are we going to use 8,000 people as a chariot in Mantis?!"
Xiao Yu raised his head slightly.
"I am stupid and ask myself that I have no strategy."
He said loudly,
"But there is one person who must have a way to break the situation!"
"Who!" Li Yuan pointed at him and asked.
"General Tiance, King of Qin Li Shimin!" Xiao Yu said sonorously and forcefully, "Has Your Majesty forgotten who is the person in the entire Tang Dynasty who knows the most about military affairs and is the best at fighting dangerous and tough battles?"
Li Yuan's breath was suffocated.
