"So, Yuan Qi is in danger." Lin Xuan's expression was a little solemn.
Tong'e's attempt to unify the Western Turks would be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty's subsequent plans.
At this time, Datang's army had not yet arrived, and the ten thousand people he had alone would not be able to do anything at all.
If Yuan Qi and his tribe are of the same mind, it will be no problem for him to go and help.
However, the tribes under Yuan Qi each had their own evil intentions. More than 30,000 people in Ashina Sheer were tortured, leaving only a few thousand remnant soldiers. What would happen if his 10,000 people were gone?
"General, don't worry. Yuanqi has sent people to ask for help from Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo has already agreed." Qin Huaidao said.
Lin Xuan was not surprised that Xue Yantuo would support Yuan Qi.
The Western Turks are currently in civil strife. It is impossible to say that Yi Nan has no ideas.
To take a step back, even if Xue Yantuo is not able to annex the Western Turks now, Yi Nan still wants to keep the Western Turks in civil strife as long as possible.
As long as the Western Turks suffer heavy losses in strength, and when Xue Yantuo recovers, there will be plenty of opportunities to annex the Western Turks.
Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of annexing the Western Turks or weakening the strength of the Western Turks, Yi Nan will not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Rengui, do you think it will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty if Xue Yantuo sends troops? Should the Tang Dynasty continue to wait and wait?" Lin Xuan asked.
When they arrived, Li Shimin had already said that the army would set off soon. Now that Xue Yantuo had intervened, Lin Xuan was a little hesitant. Should he not send out troops yet and let the three of them continue to fight? If so, he would give Li Shimin a hand as soon as possible.
Send the message, otherwise once the army sets off, the news will inevitably leak out, and it will be difficult for them to fight.
But he was afraid that there was something he had not considered, so he wanted to hear Xue Rengui's opinion.
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "Master Hou, I think there is no need to wait any longer. If Xue Yantuo sends troops, Tong'eshe will definitely suspend the use of troops."
"Tong'e is not stupid. It is impossible to continue to send troops when Xue Yantuo sends troops. Otherwise, his strength will be too great. Neither Datang nor Xue Yantuo will miss this good opportunity, so the best choice now is
Stop the troops."
"And Xue Yantuo's reinforcements cannot stay for a long time. Regardless of whether Xue Yantuo is willing or not, Yuanqi cannot afford it. As long as Tong'e Society does not move troops, Yuanqi will let Xue Yantuo's people go before long.
leave."
"There are big problems within Yuanqi. Now Ashina Sheer doesn't have many troops. In addition, the previous events have also made Ashina Sheer see through the people of Yuanqi. Without Ashina Sheer's help,
, Yuan Qi cannot stand up to Tong'e She, and the tribes under him also know this. When Xue Yantuo retreats, it is estimated that many of Yuan Qi's tribes will join Tong'e She."
"If we continue to delay, Tong'eshe is likely to unify the Western Turks."
"Although the three parties will unite when using troops at this time, there will be many benefits."
"First, Yuan Qi and Tong'e are not compatible. Even if they unite, there will be no less trouble."
"Secondly, Xue Yantuo has lost a lot of strength before and has not recovered. As long as more troops are added to the city close to Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo will naturally not fully help the Western Turks."
"Third..."
Xue Rengui listed eight advantages of sending troops now.
Lin Xuan nodded, Xue Rengui was indeed one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Although some of the novels are exaggerated, their abilities are indeed not low.
"What you said, Rengui, I will report to Your Majesty, and it will be up to Your Majesty to make a decision," Lin Xuan said.
"Thank you, General." Xue Rengui said gratefully.
There is no need for Lin Xuan to tell him when he submits the memorial. Since he said so, it means that when Lin Xuan submits the memorial, he will state that these opinions were raised by him.
Once Li Shimin recognized his point of view, it meant that he had entered Li Shimin's sight.
As long as his views are effective, it will be easy to achieve success in the future.
Cheng Chumo and others looked at Xue Rengui with some envy.
But there is no jealousy.
They may be able to charge into battle, but they lack a sense of the overall situation.
Among them, Qin Huaidao had a chance to become a famous general through his training. Unfortunately, Li Shimin was angry with Qin Qiong, which made it unlikely that Qin Huaidao would be reused.
Lin Xuan asked some more questions about the military, and the meeting ended.
"General, I just seemed to see Chang Sun Chong among the general's soldiers. I wonder if I saw it wrong." Cheng Chumo asked.
"That's Changsun Chong." Lin Xuan smiled.
"Really that kid? What is he doing here?" Cheng Chumo asked in confusion.
Could it be that he wanted to enjoy his military exploits?
Lin Xuan briefly told what happened to Changsun Chong.
Yuchi Baolin was a little stunned and said: "My dear, that boy is so brave, he even dares to hit the princess."
In the past, his father only dared to attack the county king based on his merits, but he did not dare to attack the princess or prince.
That is to say, Changsun Chong would not be much better off if it were someone else who didn't die.
Lin Xuan didn't say much about this issue, just let them do whatever they had to do, and then asked his soldiers to call Changsun Chong over.
"What did you ask me to do?" Changsun Chong did not salute, and his tone was very harsh.
The food he ate along the way was something that no one in his family would eat. When had his eldest son, Sun Chong, ever suffered from this?
If he didn't have anything to rely on now, he wouldn't even want to come if Lin Xuan asked him.
Lin Xuan did not argue with Changsun Chong, and said calmly: "The army does not support idlers. Since the army is exiled, you are also one of the army. I will appoint you as the quartermaster and be responsible for the dispatch of food and grass."
He thought carefully and realized that it would definitely not work to let Changsun rush to the battlefield. If he died on the battlefield, not to mention Changsun Wuji would go crazy, and even Li Shimin and Queen Changsun would not let him go.
Changsun Chong felt a little proud when he heard that Lin Xuan asked him to be the quartermaster. It seemed that Lin Xuan was still afraid of Changsun's family.
Although Lin Xuan didn't know what Changsun Chong was thinking, he could guess something from his expression, and said: "Don't think that I will let you go through the motions. Since you have become a quartermaster, you have to do everything that a quartermaster needs to do."
Do a good job, and if there are any mistakes, military law will be dealt with."
The smile on Changsun Chong's face was dull. He had never been a quartermaster. He even wondered whether Lin Xuan deliberately appointed him as a quartermaster to take advantage of him.
"Come here, take him to report to the quartermaster." Lin Xuan said.
After sending Chang Sun Chong away, Lin Xuan returned to the camp, wrote a memorial about what Xue Rengui said, and sent it to Chang'an. Then he got some water, took a simple bath, and went to bed.
.
I slept until evening and felt refreshed when I woke up.
Not long after Lin Xuan got up, Liu Da came over and said: "Master Hou, Mr. Cheng sent someone to send a message, saying that he had prepared some good food and asked him to come over after he wakes up."
"Well, I understand."
Lin Xuan washed himself, tidied his clothes, and came to the Chinese army tent.
Although Cheng Chumo is the son of the Duke of the country, he cannot be too special in the army. It is said to be a good dish, but in fact it is just a roasted whole lamb.
"General, this is baked by the Turks that I specially found. It tastes no worse than what I had in Xuetuo." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
