Li Shimin, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, also noticed something was wrong at this time.
As the emperor of Ma Ma who fought in the north and south, he can naturally understand some of the secrets if he talks a little bit about this.
He couldn't help but said: "So, the Turks may have two strategies now. One is to attack Sui as a false one, and to set up an ambush as a real one, in order to swallow up Jingde's Jingzhou army in one go. The second one is to make the tiger leave the mountain. Go straight to Jingzhou!"
Listening to Li Shimin's analysis, Li Jing didn't even relax his brows.
They have been at war with Jie Li for many years, and both sides are good at making clever plans. Although Li Jing saw the clues for a while, he was still not convinced.
This is like fighting a wolf with a ma head, and both sides are afraid.
On the side, Fang Xuanling echoed.
"Your Majesty's analysis is indeed correct...but this Jieli is cunning by nature, and he may have confused our military's morale by throwing out two mysteries."
"If we need support now, the distance from Dongdu Pass to Jingzhou will be at least six days' march. We can only send Li Ji and Dugu Yanyun to pass through Xiazhou in the northeast and defend Jingzhou, which can be reduced to five days. However, in this way, it will take one more day. , and there will be one more day of danger in Suizhou."
At this time, Cen Wenwen, the minister of Zhongshu, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the defeated army of Suizhou in the west has settled down, and the safety of our country, the Tang Dynasty, is the greatest. The so-called two evils are the lesser of two. If we support Suizhou at this moment, , let it slip through!"
Suddenly, looking at the defense map of Datang's border defense, Li Jing's eyes flashed with light.
Turning to look at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this Jie Li will definitely implement the strategy of encirclement and reinforcements. Using Suizhou as a bait is a real conspiracy. What they have in mind is to gain fame."
"Seizing fame?"
Then Li Jing hurriedly explained: "Suizhou is just a small border land. If the Tang Dynasty abandons it, the harm will naturally be minor, but it will disturb the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty and give them an excuse to break the alliance."
"But if you don't abandon it, Jingyang will change its defenses and it will be missed. However, I think that Suizhou cannot be abandoned, and I have to go there even if I am afraid to go, so without further delay, I personally leave Suizhou!" , please fight!"
From a military point of view, Suizhou is also in danger and must be abandoned. But from a political point of view, if it is abandoned, it will fall into the rhetoric of the Turks and the world.
Li Shimin paced around. This Turk had a conspiracy. As long as this conspiracy was solved, he could directly turn against the guests!
This Suizhou must be saved. No matter how close it is to the border, they are still Li Shimin's people.
When it breaks, it breaks!
Li Shimin turned around and ordered: "Ke Ming, order the three armies to stay put no matter what happens in Suizhou! The pharmacist immediately led an army of 150,000 people, taking Suizhou as the point, and left the pass. He then joined Jingde, Dugu Yanyun, Li Ji, and Li Daozong The four armies turn around and wait for military orders to attack the Turks in the north!"
"My lord, I obey your order!"
"In addition, General Chai Shao and Qin Qiong will lead an army of 70,000 troops on the west road along the Yellow River to cover the flanks. When Li Jing comes out of Suizhou, he will act according to orders!"
"My lord, I obey your order!"
"With the order, Tang Jian prepares food and fodder, leads an army of 30,000, and all the sleds submitted by the Ministry of Industry. With Zhang Baoxiang, the governor of Ganzhou, as his deputy, he will advance from Lingzhou to the northwest to supply the six armies with food and fodder!"
"My lord, I obey your order!"
"Gong Cheng of the State of Lu knew the festival. Ten days later, he led an army of 30,000 and secretly marched to Yanyun to monitor the Yinshan Road to prevent the Turkic army from escaping eastward!"
Cheng Yaojin, who was about to stand up and take the order, suddenly looked bitter. Just as he was about to speak, Li Shimin stared back.
He only said with a bitter look.
"My lord, I obey your order!"
"Instruct Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan to stay put in Lingzhou and wait for military orders at any time!"
Soldiers are valuable and quick, so there is no need to delay!
Immediately, Li Shimin's imperial edicts continued to fall, and the entire Tang Dynasty center was completely moved starting today.
Compared with the initial decision of the six-route army heading north to the Turks, they had to make temporary changes. They would wait until Suizhou was settled and wait for the battle.
When the important minister received the order and left immediately, Cheng Yaojin walked over with a bitter look on his face.
"Alas, Your Majesty..."
Cheng Yaojin quickly stopped Li Shimin who was about to turn away, and quickly put on a shy look on his old face.
Li Shimin turned around slowly.
"What's wrong?"
This old guy, he doesn’t know what he’s thinking?
"Your Majesty, don't just give me, Old Cheng, the job of looking after the back door. Even if you give me a lieutenant, I, Old Cheng, will kill two Turkic bastards!"
After asking him to cut off something, he didn't know whether Jieli would run anywhere. If he missed it, it would be a fool's errand.
After finally fighting in the past few years, he went to show others the back door. Isn’t this a joke?
Li Shimin smiled, pointed at the military map on the table, and said calmly.
"Oh, you know the truth. Look, if Jieli is defeated, the best thing is to go east, and the direction to go east is Yinshan. Jieli is an ambitious man and must want to make a comeback. The land in Yinshan is fertile and grassy. The water is plentiful, and there are many chaotic tribes, but they cannot gather together, and the Yinshan Mountains are dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do you think I have given you an easy job?"
"Since you don't want to go, it doesn't matter. I'll ask someone else. You don't want to accompany Shu Bao and lead the army..."
Now, with sleds, snowboards, logistics and such magical things as alcohol, Li Shimin is determined to win this battle. It is only a matter of time that Jie will be defeated!
At this point, Cheng Yaojin didn't understand that he was just a fool. His face that was still bitter just now changed, and he quickly grabbed Li Shimin and said.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, no, no, no, no, I, Old Cheng, can't go! Can't I, Old Cheng, go? It's so cold over here in the Yinshan Mountains, I, Old Cheng, can resist the cold, hehehehe!"
It's obvious that Jieli's men will be defeated this time. That's the result of capturing Jieli alive and getting it for nothing!
I, Lao Cheng, did this job!
Not only did I, old Cheng Qian, turn around and drag the two boys at home with me.
"But remember, when the army starts marching north, if you set out again, don't make any announcement!"
"I know, I know!"
Immediately after Cheng Yaojin nodded and bowed, the monarch and his ministers dispersed.
…
There's going to be a war again.
For a time, the people in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty were moved by the news. As soon as the new year started, there were constant screams.
The Turks moving south three years ago caused people to panic. Could it be that the Turks are about to cause trouble again?
However, the momentum of Li Jing's army going out that day won the attention of countless people.
The Datang Daily published an article the next day, saying that it was unfair to be merciful and to offend the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of the power of the Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Masters competed in Mobei in order to stabilize the people's hearts.
This turned out to be a fight!
But the next day, people were encouraged, the fear was gone, and it was very lively.
Damn Turk bastard, after so many years.
It's finally time to beat them!
So the people are naturally happy to hear it!
The second day of the first lunar month is sunny.
Army.
He had already left the city yesterday.
In addition to causing a moment of commotion, Chang'an still returned to bustle and joy the next day.
The city was opened to the public, and some stores were hung up with festive red silk, flags were hung, and door plaques were polished early in the morning.
Most of the countless people have two braziers placed at their door, which means opening the door with a flourish. This custom will be postponed until the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival.
There are also families whose families are on an expedition, and this fennel branch will be hung on the entrance door to represent an early return and to pray for the men in the family who are on an expedition.
It’s New Year’s time after all.
The excitement of the New Year makes the crowds running around to watch the excitement become chaotic and lively.
