After using Lin Han's method, in just three days, people from the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs came to Li Shiming, willing to lend food to the imperial court.
Li Shimin saw that the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were really willing to lend food to the imperial court, and he couldn't help but sigh at Lin Han's amazing foresight.
However, just as Li Shimin was happy about collecting the rations.
Li Jing rushed to the Dew Hall.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Ying Prefecture has been breached by the Turkic army.”
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Shi Min was shocked.
"How did this happen?"
"The Turkic army disguised themselves as merchants and infiltrated Yingzhou. They worked together from the inside and outside, and the defenders of Yingzhou were defeated in less than a day."”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed onto the chair.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there are only twenty thousand soldiers in Ying Province. Didn't I ask Your Majesty to increase the number of soldiers in Ying Province?”
Li Shi Min was startled, and he remembered what Li Jing had said three days ago.
"Men, bring me Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui."”
Three days ago, the two of them suggested that he go and investigate first before making a plan.
Now that Ying Prefecture City had fallen, the people who went to investigate had not returned.
This made him very angry.
Soon, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui arrived at Dew Palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The two of them cupped their hands at Li Shi Min.
Li Shi Min looked at the two of them with a gloomy face,"Do the two of you know anything about Ying Province?”
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other in confusion.
Pa!
Li Shi Min slammed the table and said angrily," Three days ago, you asked me to send someone to investigate and decide whether to send more troops to Ying Province."”
"But three days have passed, and the scouts haven't even returned yet. Ying Prefecture has already been breached by the Turkic army.”
"The two of you will explain?"
"What? Ying Prefecture City has been breached?"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were shocked.
Clearly, they still did not know the situation in Ying Province.
"Ying Province has already been occupied by the Turkic army. I really regret not listening to that young man. If I had paid attention, perhaps Ying Province wouldn't have fallen to the Turks."”
Li Shi Min waved his hand." It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being indecisive. I know you're a god-like soldier, but you still need to discuss it with someone else."”
Fang Xuanling was confused."Your Majesty, what young man? What is going on?”
" I came back from Youzhou three days ago," Li Jing explained." When I passed by Chang 'an, I felt a little hungry, so I went to a restaurant to eat.”
"Later, I met a young man inside. He told me that the Turks 'attack on Youzhou was fake and that the real attack on Ying Province was fake. He also said that Ying Province would fall to the Turks in three days.”
"At that time, he drank a lot of wine. I thought he was talking nonsense, so I didn't pay attention to it.”
"There's actually such a thing?"
Du Ruhui said in disbelief.
"Now that I think about it, he must have spread the news on purpose. It's a pity that no one believed him." Li Jing said regretfully.”
"In that case, this person either has the ability to predict the future or is very proficient in the art of war.”
"If we can find him, we might be able to break through the Turkic army that has taken Yingzhou," Du Ruhui said.”
Li Shi Min was stunned, then he looked at Li Jing and said,""Minister Li, which restaurant did you drink at that day? Go and see if you can find him.”
"Alright, I will go now. No matter how much it costs, I will definitely find him.”
After saying that, Li Jing left in a hurry.
After Li Jing left, Li Shiming looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui immediately knelt on the ground.
"We miscalculated in this matter. Your Majesty, please punish us.”
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
Li Shi Min looked at the two of them, although he was a little angry.
However, he knew that the fall of Ying Province had something to do with him.
"Get up," he said."This matter has come too suddenly. Even We didn't expect the Turks to create a diversion. We can only hope that General Li Jing can find that young man, or the Turks will pose a fatal threat to our Great Tang."”
After Li Jing came out of the palace, he went straight to the restaurant where he met Lin Han that day.
Soon, he arrived at the restaurant.
Li Jing swept his gaze across the restaurant and found that Lin Han was nowhere to be seen. He grabbed the waiter and asked,"Waiter, did you see the young man who drank with me that day?”
"Sir, who are you talking about? And who are you?" The waiter asked with a dumbfounded expression.”
Li Jing was stunned. He then remembered that he did not come here often to eat. The waiter did not know him at all.
So how could he know who he drank with that day?
Li Jing muttered to himself for a moment before taking out a silver ingot and placing it on the table.
"Waiter, keep an eye on them. If a handsome young man with a wine gourd hanging behind him comes to your place to eat, report to the yamen immediately.”
"When the time comes, I will reward you handsomely."
"Alright."
The waiter thought that Li Jing was looking for a criminal, so he readily agreed.
After Li Jing came out of the restaurant, he was not satisfied and went to other restaurants to look for him.
Then, he searched all the restaurants in Chang 'an City but could not find Lin Han.
"Little brother, where are you? Come out!”
Li Jing revealed a look of despair.
Ying Prefecture was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now that it was occupied by the Turks, no matter how capable he was, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to take it back.
Furthermore, he still had to go to Youzhou to guard, so he had no time to contend with the Turkic army of Yingzhou.
