After Wang De left, Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wugou and said in a deep voice,"Wugou, I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore. Jingzhou's eight hundred li is in a rush, the Turks have sent troops.”
"State affairs are more important. Your Majesty, go and do your work.”
Zhangsun Wugou said with a gentle expression.
"Yes."
Li Shi Min nodded and took a deep breath before heading to Taiji Palace.
A moment later!
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Hou Junji, and the others were gathered to discuss the Turks 'invasion.
"Lord Wei, why are your eyes so dark?”
Cheng Yaojin looked at Wei Zheng's black eyes and could not help but ask.
"Cough cough…"
Wei Zheng coughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart and said in a deep voice,"I accidentally bumped into it when I was walking.”
"Oh, I see. Then you have to be careful when you walk in the future.”
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.
"Ah!"
Wei Zheng felt depressed, but he couldn't reveal the truth. His face turned cold."Thank you for your concern, General Cheng."
Not far away!
When Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling heard the conversation between Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng, they were stunned. The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection. They looked at each other and the same thought appeared in their minds."Accidentally? These words could probably only be used to deceive a boorish person like Cheng Yaojin.”
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Wang De's sharp voice rang out.
Li Shiming strode into Taiji Palace, his expression somewhat unsightly. The Turks had chosen a very good location for this attack. If they could not stop their advance, Chang 'an would soon be under the attack of the Turks.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed to Li Shiming.
"I'm sure everyone knows the reason why I called you here, right?" Li Shiming waved his hand. Tell me your opinions."
Hou Junji thought for a moment and then said,"Your Majesty, the Turks are coming at us menacingly. We must stop them from advancing. Otherwise, once we lose our martial arts, Chang 'an will be exposed to the Turks.”
"Do you even need to say that? I'm asking for your solution, how to make the Turks retreat.”
Li Shiming coldly said as he glanced at Hou Junji.
Chang 'an only had 20,000 soldiers, and most of them were infantry. If they went to support Jingzhou rashly, how would Chang' an defend itself if they were defeated?
Li Jing pondered for a while and said,""Your Majesty, we can gather our troops and hold off the Turkic soldiers here while we lose our troops elsewhere.”
"En, this isn't a bad idea, but it will take time. This is just a small county, and even if we gather all the soldiers in the area, they won't exceed fifty thousand at most. Can these soldiers stop the Turks?”
Li Shimin asked with a frown. According to the news from Jingzhou, the Turks had sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers south.
"I can give it a try."
Li Jing said with a solemn expression.
Zhangsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said,""Your Majesty, if we really can't do it, we should gather all the soldiers in Chang 'an. With Chang' an's defenses and fifty thousand soldiers, the Turks won't be able to break through in a short time.”
"No!"
Li Shimin didn't even think about it and directly shook his head in refusal. If he gathered his troops in Chang 'an, it would mean that he would give up on defense and let the people of Jingzhou and Wugong wail under the hooves of the Turks.
"Sigh!"
Zhangsun Wuji sighed. He knew that Li Shiming would not agree to this, so he did not continue to persuade him.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment, stood up and said,"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Chang 'an. With the Crown Prince's 100,000 cavalrymen, even if the Turks come, they may not be able to get any benefits.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Everyone looked at Wei Zheng with strange expressions. They knew that the Crown Prince had 100,000 cavalry in Chang 'an, but who could guarantee that the Crown Prince would let this cavalry fight the Turks?
Zhangsun Wuji took a deep breath, thinking of what Ye Feng had said to him, he recommended himself: ""Your Majesty, I will go and persuade the Crown Prince."
If one hundred thousand cavalry joined the battle, the Great Tang would be able to sweep away its current predicament.
Li Shi Min hesitated for a moment before nodding,"Alright, Wuji, you can make a trip and explain to the Crown Prince the powerful relationship between them.”
Li Shi Min had been sending people to investigate the sudden appearance of the 100,000 cavalrymen, but there was no news at all. He even suspected that he had made a mistake. Otherwise, the 100,000 cavalrymen were like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no trace of them at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and turned to leave Taiji Palace for the Eastern Palace.
Li Shi Min looked at Zhangsun Wuji's back and thought,""We can use this time to investigate if the Crown Prince's 100,000 cavalry are still outside the city.”
Although Li Shi Min and Ye Feng's relationship had become warmer, as an Emperor, he was still wary of having such a powerful army by his side.
