Li Yuan's words were like an imperial edict.
As soon as he spoke, all the officials in the palace fell silent.
Li Jing cupped his hands and said respectfully,""Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the intelligence reports of this general and the Bureau of Military Personnel, the Turkic war will begin this winter.”
"Right now, Shuofang Liang Shidu, without the support of Jie Li Khan, even if this general gave him courage, he would never dare to have disloyal thoughts.”
Li Jing said.
Even Li Shi Min was stunned.
This winter.
Didn't that mean that there were still a few months left?
This was still considered as mobilizing troops for war.
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing and said with a serious expression,""General Li, how confident are you in what you just said?”
"That means he has absolute confidence. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a thing.”
"With the current strength of our Great Tang, we probably won't be able to stop them.”
Li Shi Min asked.
The surrounding people were all a little worried.
Li Jing said without changing his expression,"I have seventy to eighty percent confidence, but the battlefield is constantly changing.”
"Who wouldn't dare to speculate?"
Li Shi Min nodded and said nothing more.
Li Yuan's gaze fell on Li Jing and said,""Li Jing, what you said just now coincided with what I said.”
"This battle should also be fought in winter."
"The grasslands are far colder than our Great Tang. Jie Li knows that our Great Tang is empty and the grasslands are barren, so he will definitely have evil intentions.”
"This Liang Shidu also wants to seize the opportunity to plunder, so he colluded with the Turks.”
Li Jing listened to Li Yuan and nodded seriously.
Li Jiancheng stood below, feeling a little nervous and excited.
He originally thought that he was only going to fight Shuofang.
The Great Tang was like a brawny man compared to a child.
It was easy.
But with the Turks behind him, he needed to consider many things.
All the officials in the court were worried about Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's fight for the Crown Prince, but now that the country was facing a crisis, these things were trivial.
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly as he walked out.
He looked at Li Yuan and said," Your Majesty, I don't know much. But since there is a war, I am willing to go to the border town."”
Yuchi Gong stood below.
He also stood up and said,"Your Majesty, I'm also willing to go."”
Xue Wanche and Feng Li also came out to request for help.
Li Yuan looked at the generals who requested to fight and smiled.""Our Great Tang is not Shuofang that can be controlled by the Turks.”
"We will definitely keep him in the Great Tang.”
"However, we are only testing each other.”
"The King of Han can lead his deputy as he sees fit, but the battle report from the front line cannot be delayed at all, or I will not forgive you.”
Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan's order.
He immediately came out and saluted,"Father, your son will not disappoint you."”
Li Yuan waved his hand casually and Xue Wanche smiled.
Cheng Yaojin and the others were a little discouraged.
Li Shiming knew that this was not a competition for merit, but for the sake of the Great Tang. He said,"Imperial Father, the Turks have invaded."
"Your son has fought with him several times and would like to request a battle.”
Li Yuan looked at Li Shiming and waved his hand,"You can leave now. I have my own arrangements.”
"Do you think that you are the only one in the Great Tang who knows how to fight?”
"Where is Li Jing?"
Li Shi Min respectfully stepped aside and said,""Your son does not dare."
Li Jing walked out again and bowed."I'm here."
Li Yuan smiled." The Turks cannot be underestimated. As the Minister of War, I will make you a Great General to cooperate with the King of Han."”
"We must know what the Turks are doing.”
"Exterminate the hidden danger."
Li Jing's eyes lit up and he said decisively,"Yes, General."
Li Yuan stood up and said to the ministers,""Since that's the case, withdraw from the court. Zhen is also a little tired.”
The officials and generals in Taiji Palace wanted to say something.
However, Li Yuan had already left.
Lin Cheng shouted in a sharp voice.
They could only respectfully send Li Yuan off.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were still standing in the hall. Lin Cheng ran over and said,"Your Highness Qin, Your Highness Han, Your Highness Qi, His Majesty has asked you to wait in the royal study.”
Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were all stunned.
However, he still cupped his hands towards Lin Cheng.
Although Lin Cheng was an internal servant supervisor, it was not bad.
However, he was Li Yuan's subordinate after all. He had watched them grow up, so they did not treat him as a lowly slave.
In the royal study.
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji stood inside.
They looked at the huge map hanging in front of them, their pupils completely widened.
They swore.
He had never seen such a detailed map.
Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng stood there and couldn't help but approach. Li Yuan had started his army in Jinyang and had fought many battles along the way. These terrain could be said to be memories of life and death.
However, at this moment, it was completely engraved on the map.
Li Shi Min swallowed his saliva and revealed a trace of greed.
If they had such a treasure during a battle, it would simply increase their chances of winning. But why had they never seen it before?
Thinking of this…
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng exchanged a glance.
How many more things were Li Yuan hiding that they did not know?
This included the fierce general Guan Yu who was guarding outside the royal study. All of this seemed to have appeared out of thin air, but it was this unknown that made people feel fear.
Li Yuanji stood at the side and didn't feel anything.
At most, he was just a little surprised.
Li Shiming looked at Li Jiancheng and said," Big brother, Father sent you here. It's obvious that he has some rewards for you. I just don't know what Father is preparing now."”
"Second brother, I'm not used to you calling me that." Li Jiancheng smiled.”
"However, Imperial Father has other arrangements for you. Presumably, he has something important to entrust to you.”
Li Yuanji pursed his lips.
Yesterday, he was about to die.
Today, he had a big brother and a second brother.
Of course, he would not say these words out loud. After all, he was a prince. Some things were influenced by him and he knew them better than anyone else.
Li Yuanji shrugged his shoulders and said," You all have things to do. Just leave me here. If I can't, I'll go hunting in the mountains."”
"Or tell Imperial Father to patrol the coastal areas.”
"I've heard that there are bandits on the sea who often plunder the people of the Great Tang.”
Li Jiancheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile,""Just like how the Great Tang's enemy is the Turks, the coastal matter can be delayed until I gain a firm foothold in the border towns.”
"I will report to Imperial Father and send you to help me.”
Li Yuanji also smiled when he heard this.
Creak--
The door of the royal study was gently pushed open from the outside.
The three of them immediately stood up straight and looked at the door respectfully.
Li Yuan walked in with a bun in one hand, and Lin Cheng was holding a food box behind him. There seemed to be a lot of food inside.
Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded.
Li Shi Min was also dumbfounded.
Li Yuanji gulped and rubbed his eyes. He wanted to ask if this was Li Yuan.
He was probably the first person to eat buns in the royal study since ancient times!
