Jingzhou belonged to Xianyang today.
The Eastern Turkic army had arrived like a black cloud, their emaciated warhorses clad in thick robes.
Even from afar, one could smell the strong smell of sheep from this group of people.
Within a day, they had flattened Jingzhou and reached the bank of Weishui River. Killing intent rose everywhere, and their voices spread in all directions like a tsunami.
Their target was Chang 'an City, which was not far away.
…………
At this moment.
In the Imperial City, on Taiji Palace.
Standing on the dragon throne, Li Xuan's eyes revealed a sinister smile. They were finally here. If not for waiting for this bunch of grandsons, many things would have already begun.
He gently wiped the pistol and removed the golden bullets one by one. The gun case, recoil spring, and trigger were wiped clean one by one before being reloaded. He checked the magazine and raised it to aim.
"Your Majesty…"
Just as he was thinking, a young man in armor rushed in from outside the hall. He cupped his fists and knelt down."Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Fang has indeed exchanged letters with the King of Qin. Moreover…just now, this general found out that many officials in the court are inferior to Lord Fang's family!”
"When did you write?"
Li Xuan wasn't surprised at all.
Regardless of whether Li Er died or not, the Guanlong Family would not sit still as long as their interests were affected.
If Li Er didn't die, they would conspire with Li Er to send troops again.
After Li Er died, they would follow the example of the Sui Dynasty and rebel again.
It had been like this since ancient times!
" The letter was sent to Chang 'an yesterday. The messenger has been captured by the Golden Guards. Then, select a person from the Golden Guards and send it in disguise!”
As he spoke, the young soldier took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands."The original envelope has been sent to Fang Manor. This letter was copied by us.”
The eunuch in front of him hurriedly went down and handed the letter to Li Xuan. After flipping it open, he flipped through it briefly and smiled. He placed the pistol on the dragon table with a smack."Jie Li Khan's army has already arrived in Chang 'an. This is a great opportunity for them. Pass on my orders. Tell General Zhao to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Fang Xuanling and his family. Once they leave Chang 'an, take them down immediately. He really had to wait until he defeated Jie Li Khan before settling the score!”
"Yes!"
The young warrior nodded.
"Where is the army of Jie Li Khan?”Li Xuan put away his pistol and asked," Has General Li led his army to confront them?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Eastern Turkic army of one hundred thousand has reached the Wei River. General Li is gathering twenty thousand soldiers to go…" The young warrior seemed worried."And…these people are the guards of Chang 'an Fortress!”
"I already know!"
Li Xuan didn't panic at all as he pricked up his eyebrows. When he saw the officials rushing in from outside the hall, he waved his hand."You can leave now. Tell General Zhao and Yuan Ba to rest well. Tonight, I will take the head of Jie Li Khan!”
"Yes!"
The young man walked out of Taiji Palace with vigorous steps. Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng, and the other officials had all arrived. All of them had solemn and gloomy expressions.
As soon as they stepped into Taiji Palace, they all lowered their heads and quarreled.
"Your Majesty, you must not go out to battle at this time. I heard that Li Jing has already led 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers to deal with them. I implore Your Majesty to recall him…"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Jie Li Khan is leading a hundred thousand cavalry, while the Tang Empire has twenty thousand…If anything goes wrong, the entire Chang 'an Fortress will be in trouble!”
Cries of exhortation came one after another. Some lowered their heads, some lay on the ground, and some cupped their fists and shouted.
Li Xuan looked at the group of aristocrats dancing like a group of demons. For some reason, he felt like laughing.
It was actually this group of people in history who ruled the country and stabilized the world!
"Then in everyone's opinion, what should I do?”
Li Xuan remained as calm as water. The corners of his mouth squirmed as he looked askance at everyone.
Fang Xuanling stood out and shook his official robe. He stood in the middle and said,"Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that our Great Tang might not necessarily lose. Although the Turks have mobilized one hundred thousand soldiers…their military discipline is lax. Moreover, the Turkic army is at odds with each other, and this humble subject believes that if we sow discord and disrupt the morale of the enemy, our army will not be able to strike!”
"Fang Xuanling, absurd!"
Just as he finished speaking, the white-haired Pei Ji dashed out. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him."You…you're putting the Great Tang in danger. If anything goes wrong, the Great Tang will be doomed, do you understand?”
"Minister Pei, you're being too serious."
Li Xuan looked like he was watching a show. After all, he knew that in history, Fang Xuanling hadn't advised Li Er on this strategy when facing the army's suppression. Instead, he had advised him on a diversion tactic.
But at this moment, Li Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.""Minister Fang is right, but…I wonder how Minister Fang should use the strategy of sowing discord?”
"Your Majesty, I think…Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo, and many other tribal leaders around Jie Li Khan are not on good terms with him. We should appease one or two of them and make them kings.”
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he immediately raised his head with a smug expression.
However, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a few people. Immediately after, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Zhangsun Shunde, and a group of people said,"Your Majesty, I agree!"
"I agree!"
All of them lowered their heads.
Li Xuan knew that some of these people truly believed him, but there were also some who were wearing the same pants as Fang Xuanling.
"Good!"
After some hesitation, Li Xuan clapped his hands and said sonorously,""This emperor has ordered Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to be the vanguards. This emperor will give you four hours to drive a wedge between the Turkic army. After four hours, no matter how effective it is, you will immediately attack!”
"Your Majesty…"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's faces turned pale, and they nearly fell to the ground in fright!
