After Li Er said this, he comforted the soldier who came to deliver the letter.
According to what the letter said, this time it was a routine patrol and visit by the border troops, but they encountered a large Turkic army on the way.
So a dozen spies immediately took action to lure the Turks into areas where mines were laid - there was no doubt that there were beacons in these places.
The Xuanjia Army successfully bypassed the minefield, and then, the opponent...
I also encountered what Li Er said while laughing just now.
This time, he had experience in leading troops, and he could see that the soldier probably didn't know the situation yet.
The actual scene should be that the spy horse team who successfully frightened the Turkic army returned to the military camp, and then the guard general immediately sent him to quickly deliver the message. He was probably also frightened.
However, traveling thousands of miles to deliver letters and reports day and night is still worthwhile.
Soon, the chamberlain left with the soldiers, and then Li Er looked at Li Jing and Du Ruhui.
These two people...
For a moment, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so scary!
Simply scared.
If the Turks were really caught off guard, and the Xuanjia Army rushed to fight, it would be nothing more than an unwarranted increase in casualties. If someone accidentally lost the fight, or if Chang'an was simply taken away, then the Tang Dynasty would probably be devastated again in the future.
s story.
After a while, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and Li Er looked at each other again.
Then, there was a chorus of laughter!
Du Ruhui was so excited that he raised his hand to Li Er!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has really done a great job in scaring away the Turkic thieves at the border!"
Then Li Jing also became excited and raised his hand to Li Er!
"Your Majesty, please discuss your merits for Your Highness!"
Li Er smiled.
"What happened this time is indeed dangerous. If it weren't for the contribution of my emperor, I'm afraid it would be really dangerous."
"But the battle is not over yet, and it is not yet time for us to discuss merits and reward them. Send Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong... to come and see me in the palace!"
Another chamberlain immediately walked out of the palace.
Then, Li Er looked at Du Ruhui and Li Jing, his face became solemn.
"Everyone, this moment is just like that moment. We originally wanted to attack the Turks, but they actually bullied me, the Tang Dynasty!"
"What should I do now...I don't need to say more about this, right?"
Li Er's face was solemn, and he looked around, his eyes blazing.
Li Jing and Du Ruhui immediately stood upright,
"Your Majesty, I understand!"
"Wei Chen knows!"
soon……
After receiving Li Er's notice, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other generals acted quickly, left the mansion one after another, and hurried to the palace...
…
Until noon.
Li Er sat on the imperial chair and let out a long yawn.
Li Er was exhausted after discussing the plan for several hours throughout the morning.
He was highly stressed and even more tired than staying up late at night. Not to mention that Li Er was already middle-aged and had to take a lunch break.
But despite this, Li Er was only a little tired and his face was slightly pale.
But his eyes were bright and radiant, making him even more attractive than usual.
All the officials of the dynasty have been announced to the main hall.
Countless officials below saw this and became nervous.
What's going on today? Well, everyone has gone to court, and His Majesty actually called all the officials back.
And at this moment, Your Majesty...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like... like a fierce tiger.
The key point is that it's not just the look that's scary, it's also the look that shows a tired look.
Damn it, it looks more like a tiger, and it's an injured tiger - a very aggressive one!
For a moment, the entire court was as silent as a cicada.
All the officials in the court were speculating about what was going on with Li Er...
Li Er thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Gentlemen, I want to announce something."
"From now on, out of the 120,000 people in the imperial army, we will immediately mobilize 100,000 to march north."
"Put down the Turks!"
The whole thing is only about ten or twenty words.
But Li Er said it in a decisive tone.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the officials below immediately started to panic.
In an instant, countless officials were whispering to each other. It couldn't even be regarded as whispering, it was just like a noise.
This decision is so exciting!
It can be said that this is the biggest decision since Zhenguan, except for the matter of overcoming the tribulation.
Li Er did not speak, his face was calm, and he quietly watched the countless officials below discussing this matter.
He also knew that this explosive decision would be difficult for most people to digest for a while.
But soon, Li Er spoke.
"Please be quiet. This plan...do you have anything to say?"
As soon as Li Er said these words.
Afterwards, all the officials in the court became anxious, and Xiao Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, going on an expedition is a waste of money and people. It has only been two years since Your Majesty took the throne, and the people are at a time when their minds are set. How can we go on an expedition?"
"Your Majesty, please take back your life and consider the common people!"
Xiao Yu spoke harshly, and his face turned a little pale.
As Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he said this,
All the officials around him also stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Xiao said is true. Now that the people of the Tang Dynasty are in peace, please take back your Majesty's orders!"
"Wei Chen, please ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"
"Wei Chen, please ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"
"Wei Chen, please ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"
In the blink of an eye, two or three rows of officials came forward to second their objections to Li Er's sending troops!
The reason is actually very good, at least at first glance it seems very good.
In any case, the Tang Dynasty has just been established, and countless people have only just escaped from the precarious state.
At this time, anyone who is not an idiot or a young scholar who thinks he is superior after reading half a military book wants to fight.
but……
Just when everyone came out to oppose it.
Li Er smiled slightly.
Then, his face turned dark and he said solemnly!
"Everyone, I understand that you don't want to fight. If I have a choice, I hope there will never be war in the world..."
"But I have to ask a question. If the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and we don't fight, the Turks will take the initiative to invade, what do you want to do?!"
…
Li Er's words were completely shouted out with anger.
If this Xiao Yu was Wei Zheng, he might not doubt it, but because it was Xiao Yu, Li Er really had to doubt this person's motives.
During the Wude period, Emperor Li Yuan gradually delegated power to Prince Li Jiancheng.
It was under Li Jiancheng's rule that Xiao Yu jumped from the position of Shangshu to the position of Prime Minister of the Internal History Order.
Li Er knew very well who Li Jiancheng's party members were.
But in order to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty and prevent the people from falling into war again, even though he had a life-and-death feud with Li Jiancheng, he still left countless former officials in the court, just to prevent the Eight Kings from happening again.
