Just as Ying Zheng was busy setting Wu Mei Niang up…
Tang Empire, outside Chang 'an City.
One hundred thousand Turkic cavalry had arrived at the city.
It was a black mass, like a tide.
In the vast world.
The savage Turkic cavalry were bloodthirsty, their killing intent filling the sky like a sea of blood.
They glared at the lonely city in front of them.
His face was ferocious and his eyes were filled with greed.
They wanted nothing more than to charge forward and flatten the capital of the Great Tang.
On the city tower of Chang 'an, flags were fluttering.
Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials stood on the city wall.
Even his Empress Zhangsun Wugou, his sons Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi, and his daughters Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle were all included.
Everyone's face was filled with solemnity and solemnity.
Looking at the situation, Li Shimin was planning to destroy Chang 'an Fortress.
"Li Jing!"
Li Shi Min shouted.
"I'm here!"
A general in his fifties with a determined expression walked out.
He was the number one general of the Great Tang, the invincible Li Jing.
"Do we have the confidence to defeat one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry with our current strength?”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing expectantly.
Not just Li Shimin.
Zhangsun Wugou, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others all looked at him nervously.
Li Jing looked up at the Turkic cavalry outside the city and pondered.
Immediately after.
He closed his eyes in despair and shook his head silently.
It was as if the final judgment had been issued, and everyone's hearts thumped.
Who was Li Jing?
The invincible God of War!
If even he was certain that he would lose this battle, then there was no need to fight anymore.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.”
Zhangsun Wuji walked out from the crowd of officials.
"Why are you still so wishy-washy at a time like this?”
Li Shi Min frowned, his face a little irritated.
"Since even General Li is not confident, there is no need to fight this battle. His Majesty is a precious body and must not be injured at all, or the Great Tang will be in danger.”
"This humble subject suggests that Your Majesty should immediately abandon the city and take refuge in Jiangnan to preserve your strength and counterattack in the future.”
Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Some people pounded their chests, while others were secretly delighted.
Before Zhangsun Wuji proposed the idea of abandoning the city, the imperial court had already had a similar debate.
Some people advocated defending the city and not giving up an inch of land.
The typical representatives were generals like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
More people advocated abandoning the city and escaping, preserving their strength in order to advance later.
The typical representatives were the aristocratic families led by the five surnames and the Seven Wangs.
The two sides continued to argue.
You said you were right, and he said he was right.
But at this moment, all of them fell silent upon seeing the one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry.
Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and the other generals had tears streaming down their faces as they closed their eyes in despair.
Whether it was escaping or surrendering.
Everyone reached a consensus.
That was, this battle must not be fought.
Otherwise, all these people on the city wall would die!
"Is there no other way?”
Li Shi Min turned around and scanned the people around him.
First, it was the Empress's Zhangsun Wugou, then his son Li Chengqian, then Princess Gaoyang, Princess Changle, and finally his courtiers.
However, despair was written all over their faces.
There was no other way.
Li Shi Min's heart sank.
He suddenly felt like a clown.
In order to obtain the throne, he had killed his brother and forced his father, leaving behind an eternal infamy.
He had wanted to create a prosperous Great Tang through hard work.
He wanted the world to see that he, Li Shimin, was worthy of the throne.
However, who would have thought…
Before he could even sit on his throne, the Turks had already marched south, plunging the northern border of the Great Tang into the flames of war.
Li Shi Min could imagine it.
At this moment, those who opposed him must be laughing at him crazily in secret.
This was the outcome of a tyrant.
Li Shi Min couldn't accept it.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea.”
Fang Xuanling suddenly stood up and said.
In an instant.
Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling.
"Xuan Ling, tell me quickly, what method?”
Li Shiming looked at Fang Xuanling with shining eyes, as if he had found his last hope.
Fang Xuanling furrowed his brows and said in a troubled tone,"Your Majesty, do you still remember Great Qin's 19th Prince?”
Hearing this name, many people's expressions became a little strange.
The name of Prince Ying Chang 'an, the 19th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, had long spread throughout Chang' an.
This child was not even five years old, but he could accurately predict the change in Black Tortoise Sect half a month in advance.
Just this matter alone had already made many people click their tongues in wonder.
"Mother, is that Ying Chang 'an the person I will marry in the future?”
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle looked like an exquisite doll.
She raised her head and widened her eyes, looking at Zhangsun Wugou who was holding her hand.
Zhangsun Wugou revealed a faint smile and said gently,""That's right, he will be your future husband.”
Li Shi Min frowned and said in a deep voice,"Xuan Ling, why are you mentioning him at this juncture?”
"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, when I left Great Qin last time, I left a trusted aide in Xianyang City to inquire about the Nineteenth Prince's storytelling," Fang Xuanling said with a bitter smile.”
"Two days ago, he sent a secret letter from Xianyang City. It contained the content of the second storytelling of the 19th Prince of Great Qin.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min was already a little annoyed.
"Alright, alright, can you get to the point?”
He waved his hand and said.
Actually, it wasn't just Li Shimin.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others were also speechless.
What time was it?
The enemy had already reached their doorstep. Why didn't Fang Xuanling think about how to defeat the enemy? Why did he bring a little kid?
If not for Fang Xuanling's high status and reputation as a think tank, he would have been beaten up long ago.
"Your Majesty, do you believe that there are gods in this world?" Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly.”
Li Shimin was speechless.
"If you say another word of nonsense, do you believe that I will throw you off the city wall?”
Li Shi Min's patience had reached its limit.
If Fang Xuanling wasn't his most important mentor, he would have been thrown out long ago.
" Your Majesty," Fang Xuanling said unhurriedly," to be honest, Ying Chang 'an, the 19th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the husband of Princess Changle, and Your Majesty's future son-in-law, has already predicted this war and given the only solution.”
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a shocking thunder had sounded between heaven and earth, smashing heavily into everyone's hearts.
"What did you say? Say that again?"
Li Shi Min stared at Fang Xuanling, his face gradually turning fearful.
The others were also in disbelief.
