Tang Dynasty, Wude Ninth Year.
Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, had not even had time to change his reign title before he encountered a major crisis since he ascended the throne!
The Turks, the overlords of the grasslands, led by Jieli Khan, invaded south with 300,000 Turkic wolf cavalry.
In just twenty days, they had already reached Jingzhou, and their troops were pointing directly at Chang'an.
The Tang Dynasty and the public were in panic.
July 11th, early morning.
The sky had just dawned, and the majestic palace was shrouded in a summer mist, looking solemn and majestic.
In the main hall of the former dynasty, civil and military officials gathered to discuss how to deal with the Turkic invasion.
"My dear friends, now that the Turks have invaded, do you have any good plans to deal with it?" Li Shimin asked from the throne.
"Your Majesty, now that the Turks are invading, Jieli Khan has an army of 300,000 people, which is beyond the power of manpower. We should send envoys to seek peace quickly to prevent more people from being ruined!" Sikong Pei Ji, the elder of the two dynasties, was the first to speak.
"Yes, what Pei Sikong said is absolutely true. There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, which cannot resist the 300,000 Turkic army. It is better to negotiate peace as soon as possible!" Zuo Pushe Feng Deyi followed up and said.
The rest of the veterans, such as Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu, all agreed to seek peace with the Turks.
"Your Majesty, the Turks are cruel and murder our people of the Tang Dynasty. If we don't avenge this, how can we convince the people!" Among the generals on the other side, Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak.
"Your Majesty, there are 300,000 Turks. Although our Tang Dynasty has less than 20,000, we must fight hard and not let the Turks underestimate us! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and fight against the Turks!" Yuchi Jingde also shouted loudly. shouted.
For a time, the courtiers were divided into two groups: those seeking peace and those seeking war.
The two sides were quarreling, and it was difficult to tell the difference between right and wrong.
In the noisy court, there was Yan Ming sitting alone peacefully, not participating in the debate about the fate of the country at all.
Yan Ming disappeared among the officials and yawned secretly.
"Oh, what's the use of just arguing!"
Yan Ming complained in a low voice.
Yan Ming had long expected what would happen today since he traveled to the Tang Dynasty more than two months ago.
Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate to seize power, and the Turks took advantage of the opportunity to invade. Then Li Shimin went to the meeting alone, and the two sides established the Weishui River Alliance.
This incident can be said to be Li Shimin's lifelong shame, which will make him at all costs in the future to eliminate the Turks.
Although Yan Ming knew that this would happen, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
He had just traveled through time, and with his extraordinary knowledge, he entered Li Shimin's Qin Prince's Mansion and became a retainer. He also played a small role in the Xuanwu Sect and was hired by Dr. Guanglu.
There were a lot of people with this kind of official position in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was not his turn to speak at all.
Yan Ming was very frustrated. Seeing the Turks wreaking havoc in the Tang Dynasty, he certainly wanted to go into battle and kill Jieli Khan's Turkic Wolf Cavalry.
"Oh, it's a pity. Time is too tight. If you give me another half year, I will definitely be able to make military weapons such as returning artillery and equip them on the city of the Tang Dynasty, so that I will not be afraid of the Turks!"
"But now the Turks are advancing rapidly. According to history, Emperor Li Er will go to sign the Weishui Alliance in one month."
Now that the Turkic cavalry has reached Jingzhou, Yan Ming, let alone testing the return cannon or artillery, even if they are built, they will not be able to equip the Tang army at all.
Yan Ming raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin on the throne, and saw that his brows were furrowed and his expression was serious. He was obviously very embarrassed.
"Others who travel through time are either of noble status or have golden fingers. Why am I so miserable? I can only be a mascot like Dr. Guanglu!"
However, Yan Ming thought about it again and felt that he had been worrying too much.
"Although the Weishui Alliance was a shame to Li Shimin and Datang, they eventually regained their face."
"Oh, Your Majesty Li Er, just bear with it when the time comes. It will be over soon." Gu
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help you. After this matter is over, I will definitely work on my inventions, bring in the farmers and merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and help you enrich the country and strengthen the army to eliminate the Turks!"
"Hehe, I will marry a few more wives and concubines when the time comes. We are not greedy for beauty, but to increase the population of the Tang Dynasty!"
Yan Ming was thinking about the leisurely and prosperous time in the future, and almost laughed.
suddenly.
At this moment, the electronic sound in my mind sounded.
"Ding...the copy system is activated."
"The system will issue tasks every cycle, and you can travel to many historical TV series to complete the tasks."
"After the mission is successful, the host himself will receive the associated rewards, and the channel can be permanently opened."
"Task distribution: Red Cliff clip from the TV series "Three Kingdoms"."
"Requirement 1. Help Cao Cao win the Battle of Chibi."
"Requirement 2. Cao Cao is not allowed to cross the Yangtze River."
"Requirement 3. This mission can bring up to 5,000 people into the dungeon."
"Requirement 4. The copy time is 5 days!"
"Reward: 50,000 Tiger and Leopard Riders!"
Yan Ming was happy at first when he saw the system started, but when he figured out the dungeon mission, he was speechless.
There is a feeling of being able to see but not eat.
What kind of crappy mission is this?
Help Cao Cao defeat Chibi, but cannot let Cao Cao cross the river. Dare you love Cao Cao for a day trip to Chibi?
Moreover, just winning the Battle of Chibi is already embarrassing for me, Fat Tiger.
Yan Ming, with his ordinary qualifications, would probably not be able to defeat Guan Yu's grooms even if he went to Chibi alone.
What's more, the dungeon system has a time limit, and there is no way to farm explosive troops.
Yan Ming was thinking about how to complete the dungeon mission, unaware that the debate in the court was gradually coming to an end.
Sikong Pei Ji firmly refuted the passionate petitions from the generals.
"The Tang Dynasty is still weak, and the Turks have been planning for a long time. Going to war rashly has no chance of winning, and will only cause greater disaster!"
"Suing for peace now will only result in the loss of wealth and population in several states. If the attack fails and we negotiate for peace, it will probably shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Perhaps Chang'an will fall because you underestimated the enemy and faced the enemy!"
Sikong Pei Jide is highly respected, and his words are even more mature and wise.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals who were leading the battle also stopped talking. The terrible consequences of failure in the battle were definitely not something they could bear.
Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Sikong Peiji turned his head and bowed deeply to the Emperor Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and more common people, please endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the time being and prepare to negotiate peace with the Turks!"
Li Shimin felt helpless and made a final struggle in his heart.
Since ancient times, few emperors have signed alliances under the city, which really puts him to shame.
He first looked at Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, thinking that they would come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy without seeking peace.
