Phoenix Cry Palace.
Li Er held the blood-stained silk book in his hand. His face was gloomy, his expression was angry, and there was a trace of nervousness and fear!
They never expected that the border would suffer such a huge change.
Originally, he had thought that with Li Jing's talent, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan, and Hou Junji, they would be able to lead an army of one hundred thousand without fear of any enemy!
Even if the Turks attacked the Great Tang, they would be able to protect its borders.
After all.
Li Jing was the undefeated Great Tang War God!
Qin Qiong they all were also peerless fierce generals whose names shook the world!
Such a lineup!
It was enough to deal with any crisis!
Li Er had never thought that the border could be breached at any time in just one or two months!
Things had completely exceeded Li Er's expectations!
He couldn't help but think of the alliance at Weishui River three years ago.
Jie Li Khan led 200,000 troops to Chang 'an City, forcing him to use all the money in the Tang treasury to make the Turks retreat.
This was the greatest humiliation that Li Er had suffered since he started his army at the end of the Sui Dynasty and dominated the world for more than 20 years!
He had hoped that Li Jing would lead the army to attack the Turks and avenge him and the Great Tang!
He did not expect that Li Jing was actually poisoned. The morale of the army was shaken and the border was in danger!
Once the border was breached, the entire Great Tang hinterland would be exposed to the Turkic cavalry!
At that time.
Who knew how many innocent people of the Great Tang would die under the butcher's knife of the Turkic barbarians!
Thinking of this.
Li Er's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly.
Was history going to repeat itself?？
"Hurry!"
"Immediately summon all the civil and military officials and start an emergency court meeting!”
Li Er hurriedly ordered Wang De, the head of the internal attendants.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang De knew that this matter was very important and did not dare to delay. He quickly summoned all the civil and military officials!
"Hao 'Er, let's go! Hurry up and go to court with zhen!"
Li Er hurriedly pulled Li Hao and rushed from the Phoenix Cry Palace Hall to the Dew Palace Hall.
In his desperation, he even forgot to change the way he addressed her.
However, Li Hao didn't care. He just treated it as a slip of the tongue from being too anxious.
After all.
It was not the first time Empress Zhangsun had addressed him as Hao 'er.
Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle quickly stood up and watched Li Er and Li Hao leave.
His face was full of worry.
Although she was a little reluctant to have dinner with Li Hao.
However, they were all people who knew the big picture. They did not say anything to persuade him to stay. They were being unreasonable.
At this time, what he had to do was to support them silently from behind.
Dong, dong, dong-
the drum in front of the Dew Hall was heavily beaten by the Imperial Guards, the Thousand Bull Guards, and the sound spread in all directions, resounding throughout the entire Imperial Palace!
The officials who were originally dealing with government affairs were shocked when they heard the drumbeats. They quickly put down everything in their hands and rushed to the Dew Palace at the fastest speed!
It was noon now, long past the time for morning court.
Now that the drums were beating, there was definitely something shocking!
Very quickly!
In less than an hour, all the officials had gathered at the Dew Palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor!”
All the ministers bowed to Li Er in unison. This was the three cheers of long live that Li Hao had created in the Great Tang.
However, at this moment, Li Er was clearly not in the mood to care about these useless things.
"No need for formalities! No need for formalities!"
"Wang De, read out the 800-mile border pass to all the beloved ministers!”
Li Er waved his hand and anxiously urged Wang De, the head of the internal attendants, who was standing beside him.
The chamberlain, who already knew the news, did not dare to be negligent.
He immediately walked to the front desk with the urgent silk book.
"Urgent report from the border: The Northern Conquest Marshal Li Jing is unconscious from a strange poison. The Turkic Jie Li Khan has led three hundred thousand troops to attack day and night. The morale of the army is lax and on the verge of collapse. The border is in danger and may be breached at any time.!!”
Wang De hurriedly read out the 800-mile border pass loudly, so that all the officials in the Dew Palace could hear it clearly!
Hiss---
All the officials sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this, and their hearts were filled with a storm that could not be calmed for a long time!
Shocking!
Fear!
Fear!
They knew that something big must have happened when His Majesty summoned all the officials at noon.
However, he never expected it to be such a shocking matter!
It was even related to the survival of the Great Tang!
This... How was that possible?
In the eyes of all the officials of the Great Tang, the Great Tang's border, guarded by the War God Li Jing, should be as impregnable as an iron wall!
Ever since Li Jing led the army to the border, everyone had almost not taken the border matters to heart.
Because Li Jing was the Great Tang's God of War, the pillar that supported the heavens and the pillar that steadied the sea!
As long as he was here, the Great Tang would not fail!
But now.
The thing they were most at ease about had become the thing they were most worried about!
The pillar that supported the sky had fallen!
The Godly Sea Steadying Needle was broken!
The sky of the Great Tang was about to collapse!
Without Li Jing guarding the border, who in the Great Tang could stop the three hundred thousand Turkic cavalry?
Qin Qiong?
Yuchi Gong?
Cheng Yaojin?
No! None of them could!
They were generals, not generals.
In terms of charging, they were naturally invincible!
However, in terms of formation and strategy, they were still lacking!
Thus, the army had lost Li Jing's command and was on the verge of collapse under the fierce attacks of the Turks!
"Dear ministers, now that Grand Marshal Li Jing is unconscious, the border army is leaderless, and the morale of the army is lax.”
Li Er looked at the ministers below with anxiety and helplessness.
The Great Tang had many valiant generals, but very few marshals!
Silence…
All the ministers were frowning and thinking hard, trying to think of a solution.
But…
No matter how they scratched their heads and plucked out countless hairs, they could not figure out why.
Even if the Imperial Court sent reinforcements, it would be like putting out a cart of firewood with a cup of water, sending food to the Turkic cavalry.
Without a commander with both wisdom and courage to lead the army, it was impossible to stop the Turkic assault!
"Your Majesty!"
"At this moment, this lowly subject believes that our Great Tang only has one last hope!”
Fang Xuanling stood up with a conflicted expression, a hint of reluctance on his face.
But for the safety of the Great Tang, he had still stepped forward.
"Oh?"
"What hope?"
"Minister Fang, quickly tell me!"
Li Er's eyes lit up with joy as he hurriedly urged Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty!"
"This hope is the Wannian County Duke, the Great General of the Right Military Guards, Li Hao!!”
In an instant!
Everyone's gaze turned to Li Hao, who was standing at the forefront of the generals!!
A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes!!
That's right!
Li Hao was a peerless divine doctor who could snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell!!!
