Chang 'an City.
Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
Li Shi Min, who had just ascended the throne, was faced with such a headache.
At this moment.
In the main hall.
The civil and military officials were all lined up on the left and right.
However, their expressions were all extremely heavy.
They had already received the news half a month ago.
Jie Li Khan led hundreds of thousands of troops and marched forward, charging straight towards Chang 'an Fortress.
On the way.
They didn't encounter any obstacles.
Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew, and blood and bones piled up like mountains.
There was a place that could stop them.
Even if it was only for a moment.
"Everyone, why isn't anyone saying anything?”
"Or are you all speechless? Are we going to wait for death here?"
Li Shi Min looked around.
He looked at the civil and military officials in the hall.
In fact, he also understood in his heart that many of these people were people who relied on aristocratic families.
Not long ago, the Black Tortoise Sect changed.
Li Shi Min had killed his elder brother and fourth brother, which infuriated the aristocratic families.
They were very dissatisfied.
After all, these aristocratic families didn't want Li Shimin to be the emperor.
She resisted him from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, these people who relied on the various aristocratic families did not put in any effort.
Even if they had good plans in their hearts, they would try their best to remain silent.
He was afraid that if he said anything more, those aristocratic families would take revenge.
After a long time, a person walked out.
It was Li Jing, Duke of Wei, known as the Great Tang War God.
"Your Majesty!"
"The Turks are coming in full force, the Jie Li must have something to take advantage of!”
"They have been advancing triumphantly all the way. I'm afraid they don't come with good intentions. I think that although the overall situation is unfavorable, we can't just wait to die!”
"Garrisoned on the banks of the Wei River, fighting with the Turks. Let's fight it out!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Some generals also nodded in agreement.
Half a month ago, when Li Shiming received the news, he was shocked.
He had discussed with Li Jing and the others that the first thing they needed to do was to send people from all walks of life to Chang 'an Fortress to rescue them.
However, more than half a month had passed.
Some of them remained where they were. Most of them were from aristocratic families.
There were also people who had just sent out their troops and were unable to escape because of other matters.
Obviously, these people could not be mobilized in the short term.
There were only 5,000 Yulin Royal Guards, 3,000 Golden Guards, 8,000 Thousand Bull Guards, and 30,000 Black Armor Guards under Li Jing's command in Chang 'an.
Other than the Black Armor Army, who had rich battlefield experience, these people were also very powerful.
The rest were the imperial guards in Chang 'an.
They were mainly responsible for the safety of Chang 'an Fortress.
In terms of battle experience, he was probably inferior to even the Left Military Guard.
Relying on them to resist the Turkic army of more than one hundred thousand was no different from waiting for death.
Li Shi Min's face was solemn.
A showdown?
How could he not be worried? The thirty thousand black-armored soldiers were all well-trained, well-equipped, and experienced.
but
How could a mere 30,000 people resist an army of 100,000?
However…
Perhaps this was the only way.
Could it be that when the Jie Li soldiers were at the city gates, he would be able to kill them?
Surrender in person?
This wasn't Li Shiming's personality, and he wouldn't allow himself to do so.
Even if he died in battle, he would not allow it.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Duke Wei!”
"Instead of waiting for death, why don't we fight those barbarians? Even if we die in battle, we won't have any regrets!”
"Yes, no regrets. Let's fight to the death with those barbarians!”
"Your Majesty, how can we show weakness to the barbarians? Let's fight it out with them!"
Instantly.
The generals walked out with red eyes.
Only among the civil officials.
Most of them had solemn expressions.
She didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long time.
Li Shi Min nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Although I have just ascended the throne!"
"There are also many people in the royal court who are dissatisfied with me!”
"However, now that the enemy is in front of us and the Turks are eyeing us covetously, We do not want the Great Tang to fall into the hands of the barbarians!”
"The people of the world have suffered."
"Today, in the name of the emperor, I hope that you can work together to overcome this crisis!”
"We'll talk about the rest later!”
"I hope you can consider the big picture."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Shi Min stood up.
He bowed to the officials and generals in the court.
Seeing this, even those people who relied on the aristocratic families could not help but be moved.
No matter what, Li Shi Min was the Emperor of the Great Tang.
It didn't matter what method he used or whether he was upright.
But he was now the Emperor of the Great Tang, and he could not be faked.
As the emperor, he was able to bow to them.
How could these people remain calm?
Their expressions changed drastically as they said,"Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Your Majesty, as subjects of the Great Tang, we would rather die to assist Your Majesty!”
"Yes, how can we sit idly by?”
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing these officials and generals express their stance towards him.
Li Shimin finally nodded with tears in his eyes.
A sense of relief emerged in his heart.
...
That afternoon.
The Tang army camp outside Chang 'an City rose from the ground.
It occupied the bank of Weishui River.
Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin.
They were all waiting here.
The 30,000 black-armored soldiers were also filled with killing intent.
Li Shimin sat in the commander's tent.
Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were also present.
"Your Majesty!"
"This subject believes that the Turks are powerful!”
"If we really fight, I'm afraid our chances of winning are less than ten percent!”
"I have a plan. Perhaps we can delay for a few hours. At least, we can wait until the other troops arrive at Chang 'an Fortress to rescue us!”Li Jing said with a solemn expression.
"Hmm?"
"Duke Wei, why don't you tell me?”Li Shi Min quickly said.
Li Jing nodded.
He took out a city defense map.
It was actually a simple map spread out on the table.
"The Jie Li army will definitely come through Jing Yang!”
"However, this subject believes that although Jingyang is the Great Tang's last line of defense!”
"However, Jie Li will definitely not waste his time there. The only way is to send a team to pin down Jingyang City!”
"The Turkic army will bypass Jingyang and charge straight for Chang 'an!”
"I suggest that we set up a few ambushes here, here, and here!”
"Not to repel the Turks, but to make Jie Li suspicious!”
"Suspicion?"
Li Shi Min's expression changed slightly.
Li Jing nodded lightly.
"That's right, it's a decoy."
