Prince Wei's Mansion.
Li Tai listened to them talking about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, and his whole body could not stop trembling with excitement.
I want to be the emperor!
The border defense map given to the Turks by the Wei Palace played a huge role. Otherwise, it would never have been so easy to break through the northern Xinjiang defense line!
bring it on!
bring it on!
bring it on!
When the time comes, I will definitely open the city gate and come out of the city to greet you personally!
"Your Highness, King Wei, don't worry. Everything is going very smoothly on the Turks side, hehehe..."
"I believe that it won't be long before the troops arrive in Chang'an. Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are definitely no match for the Turkic cavalry."
Wei Ting said with a smile.
"Yes, look at how panicked the Blood Flag Officer is. It really won't take a few days. It's coming soon, it's coming soon, the Turks are coming!"
"Your Highness, please don't go out these days. I don't know what kind of chaos Chang'an will become. Just wait until you ascend the throne."
Chai Lingwu said easily.
"That's right, Your Highness, I have secretly prepared the dragon robe. As soon as the Turks enter the city, then, Your Highness, you can wear the dragon robe to greet them. This will show more respect!"
Wei Ting agreed.
Li Tai laughed.
"Okay, okay!"
He kept saying.
But in the next breath, he suddenly thought about it and said: "How about changing the dragon robe into the clothes from the Turks? This will make it more obvious that we and the Turks are one family."
"This is not much better than the dragon robe, is it? Hahaha..."
Li Tai was excited about his idea.
After everyone thought about it, they realized that this was also the case.
"Okay, let's use His Highness's words."
Chai Lingwu said.
"Come on, come on!"
Li Tai was so excited that he couldn't help himself and said boldly: "Serve the wine! Serve the food!"
"Celebrate together! The Turks are coming to victory!"
.………….……….
Chang'an.
The Li family of Longxi is in charge of the mansion.
The head of the Li family in Longxi is now sitting at the top with great comfort, a smile on his face, extremely relaxed and happy.
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang were also completely relieved.
News also came from the front that the Turks had broken through the defense lines of Datang and Northern Xinjiang.
We are now on the verge of Yunzhou City, and it won't take long to break into Chang'an.
"The speed of this Turk is quite fast. It's good to cut through the mess quickly. By the time Chang'an reacts, it will have won the victory."
"Hehehe..."
The head of the Li family in Longxi said with a smile.
"The Blood Flag Officer has entered the city. I guess Li Shimin also knows about the situation in Northern Xinjiang."
"The Sixteenth Guards, start mobilizing. We must quickly collect information about the Sixteenth Guards and tell the Turks."
"When the time comes, let's launch a surprise attack on the Sixteenth Guards Army directly on the road. In this way, if we win this battle again, we will be completely stable."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe gently clasped his knees with his fingers and said with a smile.
"That's right! As long as these sixteen guards are killed, the Tang Dynasty will have no choice but to recruit soldiers from Jiangnan to these places if they want to get rid of them."
"But this speed is not fast."
"Let's go ahead and ask the disciples everywhere to pay attention and greatly reduce the speed of recruitment. By the time all armies are formed, we will have captured Chang'an and controlled the world, hahaha..."
"This Erlang of the Li family, I really don't know what he is busy with now. I guess he has become an ant on the iron pot. Tsk, tsk, tsk... He really deserves it!
"
"I don't know what I look like. How dare you go against us like this? This time, let him see clearly."
The head of the Li family in Longxi took a sip of wine, his voice sounded arrogant.
However, they have the capital to be arrogant.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was filled with deep joy.
“Come, come, drink, drink!
"
"Let the dancer come up, have a good dance, and wait quietly for Jieli Khan and the others, hahaha..."
"Let Li Shimin and the others have a headache and panic!
"
The head of the Li family in Longxi shouted.
There was a burst of celebration in the main courtyard of the Li family.
……….…….….
Chang'an, the clouds are miserable.
And the news soon spread in the city.
The defense line set up by the Tang Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang has been broken open by the Turks and will soon sweep across Chang'an.
All of a sudden, the people who were originally worried and unaware of the situation were completely shocked.
"What's going on? What's going on? Damn it, is it possible that the defense line run by Datang in Northern Xinjiang is in such a state of collapse? No! How could it be broken open so easily?"
"Damn it, damn it, I, the defenders of the Tang Dynasty, what is going on? Hiss... Now that the Turks have arrived in Yunzhou City, we... what can we do?"
"No rush, no rush, things haven't reached their worst yet, the army of the Sixteenth Guards has been successfully mobilized and will set off today and tomorrow!
】
"
"Hurry up, hurry up, if Yunzhou City collapses, then our Chang'an will really be... going to be massacred!
"
"Damn it, why are the Turks so powerful? Even if our Tang Dynasty is empty, we can't be broken so quickly."
"I don't know, I really don't know. Don't go to the north now. Turks have appeared in some places. Yunzhou City is about to become an isolated city."
"Hiss...hiss...this...what should we do?"
"In this situation, even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu comes here, there is nothing we can do, damn it."
"Now, we can only trust the imperial court. At worst... At worst, I will go up there too, because I don't believe that the Turks can travel thousands of miles south!"
"
"……."
The people in Chang'an City were all extremely excited and frightened.
Yunzhou City has become the place that the people care about most.
The Tang Dynasty's defense lines were all broken.
The Tang Dynasty seems to be overthrown right before our eyes.
call…….
Although the people felt deeply powerless, their hearts were full of passion and anger towards the Turks, which completely exploded.
..…….………….
Imperial City.
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin hasn't slept for three days.
Changsun Wuji, King Wei, Du Ruhui and Li Jing gathered around the table.
A map, spread out.
"Your Majesty, this time the army will rush in as fast as possible to support Yunzhou City."
"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde each led three guards, a total of 150,000 troops, and attacked the northern border."
"Zhang Liang, Hou Jun will lead the three armies and advance along the normal route to supply these three armies at any time."
"There are four guards around Chang'an to protect Chang'an and respond quickly."
"These three forward armies will be launched tonight, and the marching route is right here..."
Li Jing carefully marked three routes on the map.
"This route can be said to have no twists and turns. It will encounter water and mountains, and strive to reach Yunzhou City as quickly as possible."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Is this... going to be dangerous?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
This route, to be honest, is definitely not the best.
Chang'an is mountainous.
Northern Xinjiang is also mountainous.
If they were to encounter an ambush, they might be in danger of annihilating the entire army.
"meeting!
"
Li Jing took a deep breath.
"However, Your Majesty, there is no time. We cannot delay it any longer."
“The situation in Yunzhou City is worse than we thought, we must go to support!
"
"Besides, the Turks certainly didn't expect that we could send troops so quickly!"
"Moreover, Zhang Liang and Hou led the army to advance normally to confuse the Turks."
"The Turks don't know our marching route. Although it is dangerous, it should be a close call."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin pondered.
Indeed.
Besides, the Turks' attention is now on Yunzhou City, and they probably won't be able to intercept and kill them until they react.
The three armies should be able to attack Yunzhou City directly.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui all nodded almost simultaneously.
"Your Majesty, this strategy should be the best for us in the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can only rely on ourselves regarding the Turks. Even His Royal Highness, the King of Chu, can't do anything."
"Your Majesty, there is no time to hesitate!
"
The three of them said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin's clenched fist hammered the map hard.
"Okay! Let's do it! Let's go!
"
Li Jing immediately took the order and hurried out.
Tai Chi Palace.
Some silence.
Li Shimin sat down on the stool.
After making this decision, all he, the emperor, could do was wait and wait for good news to come from the front.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely win!
"
Changsun Wuji said.
"That's right, Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Yunzhou City can still hold on for a while."
Wei Zheng's voice was also a little deep.
"call……."
Li Shimin let out a long breath.
His eyes were on the map.
Suddenly, he smiled.
"At this time, I actually miss King Chu and want him to give me some advice."
"It seems that I really rely on the King of Chu too much on weekdays. I have become dependent on him."
"But this is a national war, and the King of Chu has no choice. He has helped me so much. I, no matter what, I must protect this land for the King of Chu this time!
"
Li Shimin said softly.
Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be looking at me, the Tang Dynasty. Presumably, he will also agree with our strategy."
"That's right, Your Majesty, your deployment and the court's deployment have reached their limit. If this is the case...then even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu comes down, there will be nothing we can do."
Du Ruhui swallowed softly.
Li Shimin nodded.
"Do your best and obey destiny."
He sighed deeply.
Tai Chi Palace was silent again.
….…….……….
Northern Xinjiang.
Yunzhou City.
Corpses littered the fields.
The blood can drift away.
Broken branches and broken arms.
Scattered all over the floor.
Li Ji stood on the city wall, looking at the Turkic soldiers retreating again below, the sword in his hand firmly inserted into the scabbard.
The wind is howling!
The flag of the Tang Dynasty hung on his head made a loud noise.
"hiss……."
Li Ji took a deep breath.
"These sons of bitches have retreated again. Brothers, hold on! Chang'an reinforcements are already on the way. When the reinforcements arrive, let's rush out and kill all these beasts!"
"
Li Ji's eyes were all black and red.
How many days has it been?
How many times did the Turks attack in total?
He couldn't even remember clearly.
However, he is holding on, and the soldiers are holding on!
Dark clouds rolled over Yunzhou City, as if heavy rain was coming.
"General, the Turks are trying to surround us and make us despair!"
Next to him, a deputy general said coldly.
"Ignore them, is there anything going on with Liang Guo?" This is what Li Ji is worried about now.
Since the Turks started the war, if it had been in the past, Liang would have rushed out like a mad dog, but this time, for some reason, there has been no movement.
"I don't know. Liang Guo has blocked the city gate and won't let you out or enter. We can't find out any information."
The deputy general said.
Li Ji took a deep breath.
"What do these guys want to do? Forget it, leave them alone."
"Damn it, let the brothers take a good rest. The Turkic dogs will come up again. Can other fortresses be broken out?"
Li Ji looked north.
It was completely dark there, and it was already the Turkic camp.
Datang's previous defense line was still behind these camps.
I don’t know life or death.
The situation is unknown.
"No one has broken out. However, according to the reports from the scouts, some fortresses are still holding on, but... the situation is not good."
The deputy general reported.
Li Ji's eyes darkened.
He wasn't talking.
He couldn't imagine, he really couldn't imagine, what exactly was the problem.
The Tang Dynasty invested as many as 150,000 troops on the northern Xinjiang defense line.
But in the end, it was like a sieve, broken into pieces by someone's heavy blow.
Not even a single Turk stopped him.
damn it!
Li Ji made a fierce fist.
That gaze seemed to be able to eat people.
but.
Li Ji also knew that the current situation could not be solved by anger.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou City.
And Chang'an behind Yunzhou City!
People along the way.
Even Jiangnan Road behind Chang'an, etc., are all counting on this Yunzhou City.
If Yunzhou City is destroyed, people all over the world will suffer a great deal.
"hiss……."
Li Ji took a deep breath.
"When this war is over, if I am lucky enough to survive, I will go to the front and guard the tombs of my brothers who died in vain for the rest of my life."
"But, before that, I will help my brothers to avenge themselves. Kill the Turks!
! "
Li Ji clutched the hilt of the sword tightly.
"General, this is not your fault!"
The deputy general shouted hurriedly.
"General, I believe that the collapse of the northern Xinjiang defense line is definitely not our own problem. The Turks... The Turks... can strike with such precision. General, there must be a traitor... There is a traitor!
"
The lieutenant's voice was low.
Li Ji's eyes tightened.
"Shut up!
"
He glared coldly at this subordinate who had been following him for decades.
"Let's wait until after the war to discuss this matter. Don't worry, the brothers at the front cannot die in vain!"
"I, Li Ji, will avenge my brothers first even if I risk my life!
"
The assistant professor said nothing.
He and Li Ji looked towards Northern Xinjiang together.
Dark clouds had obscured their sight.
It seemed that the sky was about to fall.
Is everything okay over there?
