"Your Majesty, what is written in this letter?”Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask. He was the person who understood the Emperor the most. Therefore, as long as he observed the Emperor's expression, he could roughly tell that this letter was written with good intentions. Li Shiming's expression changed.
"The gist of this letter is to help us. It has already happened twice. We can't guess what the Shadow Sect is thinking and why they are helping us.”Li Shiming took back the letter. In his heart, he believed it, because the Shadow Sect had never threatened the Great Tang. If they really wanted to frame him, they wouldn't have saved him.
Li Changge had also grasped this point. He believed that Li Shiming would definitely do as he was told.
"Your Majesty, this is not surprising. No matter how mysterious the Shadow Sect is, they are still people of the Great Tang. Now that their territory has been invaded, they naturally cannot turn a blind eye.”Wei Zheng said lightly.
"You're right. If Shadow Sect is willing to help, I think there might be a chance.”Li Ji knew that there were many talents in Shadow Sect, so he could not help but nod in joy.
"A group of people who are just assassins, and you've made them sound like gods? Could it be that the few people from the Shadow Sect can solve a problem that our Great Tang's tens of thousands of elite soldiers can't?”Zhangsun Wuji sneered in disdain.
"Then why don't you offer a plan?" When Cheng Yaojin heard Zhangsun Wuji's words, he was instantly unhappy.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless and snorted coldly.
"I think this is a good idea. We can try to trust him.”Gao Shilian pondered for a moment.
"How many people did the Xia Prefecture's general, Jie Li Khan, and the others lead south?”Li Shi Min asked.
" About 100,000 to 200,000 troops. That's too many." Thinking of this, the Summer State General felt his legs go weak.
" 200,000!!"
The entire Taiji Palace exploded.
"How many days will it take?" Li Shi Min's expression darkened, much more than he had expected.
"About three days!" The Summer State General estimated.
Li Shi Min raised his eyebrows. Just as Young Master Ye said, three days later.
"Zhen has already made a decision!" Li Shi Min already had a plan.
"Gao Shilian! I order you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers and ambush us from the south of Weishui River in three days!”
"Your Majesty, are we going to counterattack?”Gao Shilian was stunned.
"You only need to listen!" Li Shiming didn't know what Young Master Ye was going to do next, so he could only say that. To be honest, he didn't want to listen to others as long as there was a solution. However, for the sake of the people, he didn't mind being asked to do something.
"I accept your orders!" Gao Shilian nodded immediately.
"Chai Shao! I order you to lead 20,000 elite soldiers and ambush them from the north bank of the Wei River in three days!”Li Shimin.
"I accept your orders!" Chai Shao walked out.
"Beloved ministers, follow me to the Vermilion Bird Sect in three days to resist the two hundred thousand Turkic army!! Retreat!" Li Shi Min flicked his sleeves and left.
"Yes!"
"I hope that this Shadow Gate will be my blessing…" Li Shi Min couldn't help but sigh.
......
Li Changge knew that there were only two generals who were stationed in Yizhou back then. One of them was his father, the Great General of the Left Guard!
One was the famed Hou Junji, the right-guard Great General. At this time, Hou Junji had yet to pacify the Turks or destroy Gaochang, so he had yet to rise to the rank of Minister of War.
Li Changge naturally knew of Hou Junji. In his early days, he had been ignorant and incompetent, but later he had followed Li Shimin and learned archery from Li Jing. However, he had later falsely accused Li Jing and even plotted against the Crown Prince.
Thus, this person's character was not something to be complimented. Even though he was one of Li Shiming's twenty-four meritorious officials, it was only a recognition of his strength. His character was completely exposed in the later stages.
Thus, Li Changge's first reaction was to look at Hou Junji.
Back in Yizhou, the Left and Right Wei Great Generals had been with him, but his father had died an unnatural death. He had to investigate this matter, and to do so, he had to go deep into Hou Junji's camp and slowly approach him.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man. Recruiting soldiers will double the money and salary!”On Chang 'an Avenue, a chiliarch was leading some soldiers to recruit new soldiers. It was the time of the war, so naturally, soldiers were in short supply.
There were still many men who had come to serve the Great Tang, and all of them were men of blood. As a result, there were still many people lining up.
"You don't have the strength to even tie a chicken.”The chiliarch shook his head. It was obvious that he could not become a soldier just because he wanted to.
Li Changge took a look. The recruitment test was not a big deal. Usually, as long as one passed the strength test, it would be fine.
Li Changge felt that it was better to keep a low profile. He didn't want to become an official, and he had never thought of entering the Imperial Court. He had only joined the army to find evidence of Hou Junji.
At the very least, he believed that Hou Junji had sent people to ambush his father, but he wasn't sure why.
