Although Li Shiming had ordered the three provinces and six ministries to ignore the little guy, as a Saint Monarch in history, Li Shiming still had to be cautious.
After all, the Great Tang belonged to the Li Empire.
For this reason, Li Shimin issued another decree in the afternoon, ordering the border to guard the grassland tightly.
However, this was useless.
…
Seven days later.
On the northern plains.
The endless Turkic cavalry had already gathered.
There were as many as 150,000 of them.
In the middle of the army, there was a huge nomadic tent.
This was the Eastern Turkic Khagan's tent.
Year 583.
The massive Turkic Khaganate was split into the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks.
620 AD (namely, the third year of Tang Wude (Li Yuan)).
Jie Li inherited the throne and became the Eastern Turkic Khan.
At this moment.
In this tent, Jie Li Khan sat at the head.
Below them were the tribal chiefs of the various tribes.
"Yantuoshe!"
Jie Li Khan shouted.
Hearing this, Yantuoshe immediately stood up."Brother Chen is here!"
"I order you to be the vanguard and lead 30,000 troops into Yanmen Pass.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Yaerjin, Ashinadur, Huteqin!”
"I'm here!"
"I order the three of you to lead 20,000 men each to attack the West River Path.”
"Yes, sir!"
Voices
echoed throughout the Khan's tent.
In an instant, all the military arrangements were completed.
At this moment.
Jie Li Khan suddenly got up and walked out of the tent.
The Turkic generals and tribal chiefs quickly followed.
Outside the king's tent.
The 150,000 strong army was silent.
A murderous aura swept across the grassland.
Looking at the endless army, the Khan stepped forward and shouted loudly,
"The new emperor of the Central Plains has no virtue." Three years ago, the Black Tortoise Sect was in chaos. They imprisoned their father and killed their brothers. Two months ago, the new emperor of the Central Plains appointed a young child as prime minister. This is a foolish and immoral act."
"Today, this Khan pities the imprisonment of Tang Gaozu and wishes to go south to save him.”
"Warriors of the Eastern Turks, will you follow me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the 150,000 cavalrymen drew their scimitars and raised them high into the sky.
"Follow the Khan!"
"Follow the Khan!"
"Follow Khan!"
His voice shook the grassland and the world.
"Good! "Pass down the decree of this Khan: All troops set off south to the Central Plains!"”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground was shaking.
The 150,000 strong army officially set out, like an incomparably ferocious tide, rolling towards the south.
The war had come!
…The
Great Tang. Chang 'an.
Chen An, who was in a daze in the Ministry of Works, suddenly raised his head and looked toward the north.
At this moment.
Two incomparably bright and profound eyes seemed to cut through time and space, as if they had crossed mountains and rivers, looking at the grassland.
In just a breath.
Chen An retracted his gaze and immediately stood up, running out in a hurry.
The Minister of Works and all the officials were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Didn't the little fellow go to work on time every day and never leave until the bell rang? Why did he suddenly leave early today?
Could it be…could it be…the
little fellow was hungry and was going to the imperial kitchen to find something to eat?
The officials from the Ministry of Works didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this thought.
Forget it, forget it.
I can't be bothered with him. As long as the little guy doesn't disturb our work, it's fine.
The Minister of Works and the officials buried themselves in their work…the
Ministry of War.
Two Golden Guards stood guard at the door, yawning in boredom.
Just at this moment, suddenly, I've become an official
A little fellow ran over from the south. It was so fast that it looked like a cute white rabbit.
The two Golden Guards paled at his appearance.
"Hurry!"
"Quickly report to the Minister that the little guy is here again!”
Unfortunately, before the Golden Guards could enter to report, Chen An had already run in front of him.
Then, he ignored the two people's shocked gazes and rushed in.
"Li Jing! Li Jing!"
Chen An shouted the name of the Ministry of War as he ran.
Hearing the shout, Li Jing, who was writing a memorial, suddenly looked up with a dumbfounded expression.
What was going on?
Didn't Xiao Wa go to the Ministry of Works to daydream today? Why did you suddenly come to my place?
Could it be that something had happened to the Ministry of Works?
While Li Jing was deep in thought, Chen An rushed into the hall of the Ministry of War.
"Minister Li, quickly send an alert to the West of the river in the name of the Ministry of War. The Turkic army was about to invade the Central Plains!”
[What?]
Li Jing was shocked.
The officers of the Ministry of War were shocked.
In the next moment.
Li Jing hurriedly got up and ran to Chen An.
"Chen An, are you serious? Where did the news come from?" Li Jing asked loudly, his tone extremely urgent.
Hearing this question, Chen An nodded heavily.
"It's true, it's absolutely true! Don't worry about where the news came from, just listen to this minister's orders and quickly send a warning to the west of the river.”
"No, this is impossible!"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War suddenly spoke loudly,""Our Ministry of War just received the official document from Hexi Province yesterday. The official document was written seven days ago. There are no unusual movements in the grasslands."
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and communication was backward.
The west of the river was a thousand miles away from Chang 'an. It was already very good that the official document could be sent in seven days.
However, in a real war, seven days was enough to change the outcome of any battle.
"West River Regional Governor is a good-for-nothing!”
Chen An cursed and then said seriously,""Hurry up and post it. Immediately, immediately, now! If you're any later, it'll be too late!"
Hearing this, Li Jing shook his head.
"He Xi regional governor isn't trash. This man was an old general of the emperor. He had been in the army for many years and had made great contributions.”
Chen An said,"In the past, you had outstanding military achievements, but it doesn't mean that you're now. Now he's a good-for-nothing!
"You..."
Li Jing was a little angry, but he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and did not want to argue with the child."Forget it, forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You should go to the Ministry of Works to play. We still have to deal with the official documents of the various states.”
After saying that, Li Jing turned around and returned to his seat to continue working.
One was the military governor of the border, and the other was a seven-year-old child.
No matter how talented the child is, let me ask you,
if you were the Minister of War of the Great Tang, if you were Li Jing, who would you believe?
Should he believe in the Hexi Provincial Governor or Chen An?
There was no need to think about it at all. The answer was already very obvious.
Seeing
that the Minister of War continued with his work, the other officials of the Bureau of Military Personnel also sat down and continued with their own matters.
Chen An was speechless. He shook his head and turned to leave.
Anyway, he had already reminded her of everything that needed to be reminded. Baby should continue to go back to the Ministry of Works and be in a daze.
"Men!"
After Chen An left, Li Jing suddenly raised his head and shouted.
"Minister, please give your orders!"
"Quickly report this matter to the Emperor. Also, inform the Ministry of Central Affairs and the Ministry of Central Affairs.”
"Here!"
No matter how much Li Jing didn't believe it, he still chose to be 'cautious' when it came to military affairs.
No matter what happened in the end, he would not be guilty.
This was Li Jing's way of being an official.
In the Imperial Palace.
After receiving the report, Li Shi Min directly ignored it this time.
Being in Chang 'an, he knew about the vast grassland.
Do you really think you're a god?
Bah!
The
climax was about to come, and the plot would be even more exciting.）
