If you continue to stay here, you will only starve to death!
This can almost be said to be the consensus of the civil and military forces of the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty!
However, when Lee Hyo-ki proposed the plan to go north to the Turks, a large number of people were shocked!
You know, there are still nearly 300,000 troops in Chang'an City! In addition, there are probably a considerable number of civilians!...
With such a huge population, it is definitely not easy to travel to Mobei, which is far away from thousands of rivers and mountains!
Not to mention anything else, even among the more than 200,000 Tang troops, there were tens of thousands of them old, weak, sick and disabled. They were only recruited to fill up the numbers because they were frightened by the majestic power of old bastard Li Yuan.
These people, let alone moving thousands of miles, even if they were asked to walk a hundred miles, they would probably be exhausted and might even get killed!
In addition, there are things that are more troublesome than these old and weak soldiers, which are the maids, concubines, and the families of the princes and ministers!
If you are cruel, you can abandon the old and weak soldiers, but if those palace maids, concubines, and ministers' families are abandoned, then the entire Tang Empire will basically fall apart!
Moreover, even if Li Jiancheng and others can finally reach Mobei, the reaction of Dongbi Khan Dubi is far from what anyone can predict!...
According to the news that came out not long ago, Du Bi severely attacked his gay ally Liu Wuzhou in Bingzhou a few years ago, and almost plundered half of Bingzhou.
Now, if Li Jiancheng abandons Chang'an and goes to Mobei, he will probably be robbed by Du Bi in the end.
With such considerations in mind, as soon as Li Xiaoji's words came out, the Jinluan Palace became a mess.
There are those who argue that the mountains are high and the roads are far away and it is difficult to travel; there are those who claim that the orthodoxy of the Central Plains cannot antagonize the barbarians outside the Great Wall; there are also those who say that they have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child from the lower reaches of the Great Wall, and it is really difficult for them to adapt to the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, so it is better to die in a foreign country.
Just lie at home and wait to die!
All in all, there are quite a lot of people who oppose it! The reasons are also various!
Even the royal relatives of the Li Tang royal family frowned and remained silent. Obviously, these people also had reservations about Li Xiaoji's suggestions!
On the other hand, Li Jiancheng, the newly minted Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, could not help but raise his brows when he heard this. There seemed to be joy in the corners of his eyes!
Of course Li Jiancheng was happy!
Being trapped in Chang'an will definitely lead to death!
But if you go outside the Great Wall, you will suffer losses. As long as you still have some elite troops in your hands, then Du Bi will not dare to push yourself too hard! Otherwise, you will fight him to the death!
However, at this time, Li Jiancheng also knew that he should not show too much enthusiasm and should maintain the mystery of the emperor. He should maintain an inscrutable attitude.
So, after pretending to discuss with the courtiers for a while, Li Jiancheng waved his paw and announced that the court was dismissed.
But after leaving the Jinluan Palace, Li Jiancheng ordered his chamberlain to summon the King of Yong'an, Li Xiaoji, to the study room to perform a duet!
Let’s not mention how Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaoji secretly planned to defect to the Huns. After the dispersion of the dynasty, Li Jiancheng’s two cheap uncles, General Dou Kang, and the prime minister discussed joining the army Dou Gui.
Then he sneaked up to a place again.
What these two people were discussing was naturally the issue of surrendering to Dayuan!
"Bishamon has completely lost control of the situation!" Dou Kang said, twirling his beard, "We brothers should make plans in advance!"
Bishamon is Li Jiancheng's nickname. As Li Jiancheng's cheap uncle, the Dou brothers are naturally qualified to call Li Jiancheng this way.
"Yes!" Dou Gui quickly agreed, "If Bishamon still had any ambition to make progress, he should have taken down the elder brother with thunder as soon as he said he wanted to surrender. Even if it was because of family ties in the end.
I don’t want to deal with my eldest brother, but I still have to let the courtiers know what they cannot say!”
"But look at it now, I'm afraid that after the dynasty ends today, there may be many people who are thinking of ways to join Dayuan!"
"Yes! The words of my wise brother are not unreasonable! In troubled times, we should use heavy words! At this time of critical life and death, it is time to use thunderous means to suppress all opposition voices and find a way out with the determination to burn the cauldron! But today!
Bishamon's performance really disappoints me! The Li Tang Dynasty is over!"
"Alas!" Dou Gui on the side also sighed.
Suddenly remembering something, Dou Gui quickly spoke again, "Brother, look, what does Li Xiaoji mean by that? If we can really move to the grassland, will the Tang Dynasty still have a chance of survival?"
"It's difficult! Guanzhong is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Now that Yuwen Chenglong has evacuated the entire Guanzhong, it is equivalent to cutting off most of the roots of the Tang Dynasty. But after all, the main root of Chang'an City is still there, and it can still survive for a while!
"
"If we move to Mobei now, the last main root of the Tang Dynasty will be cut off, and we are really not far from death!"
Just as the Dou brothers were sighing, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the secret room.
"scare!"
When the two old men heard this, their faces changed drastically.
Even Old Man Dou Kang’s wife and son don’t know about this secret room, let alone his servants! How could someone suddenly come to block the door at this moment?
After looking at each other, the two old men held their swords in their hands and cautiously moved toward the door.
Although he is a civil servant, he is a child of an aristocratic family after all. He has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child. Although he is not a fierce general on the battlefield, three or five strong men are no match for these two old men.
At this moment, the two old men cooperated tacitly. The eldest old man Dou resisted and pulled the door, while the little old man Dou Gui relied on his physical strength and combined his sword with his own. The moment the iron door opened, he jumped straight out.
In the early years, when little old man Li Yuan had just launched a rebellion, little old man Dou Gui himself recruited more than a thousand troops to join Li Yuan and helped Li Yuan in his wars in the north and south. During the most difficult time, he had been fighting for more than half a month.
Never took off the armor.
Such an iron-blooded man, as soon as he struck out with his sword, he stood stunned on the spot as if he had been hit by a immobilization spell.
Dou Kang, who was behind the door, saw that the situation was not good. He quickly drew his sword and ducked, and also turned to the front of the door, preparing to join forces with Dou Gui to resist the enemy. However, when Dou Kang saw the situation in front of him clearly, he could not help but feel cold all over.
Outside the door of the secret room, there is a uniformed sergeant. He is slightly tall and looks very handsome. Although he is wearing an ordinary Tang Army armor, he looks quite heroic when wearing it.
These are not enough to surprise the two old men Dou. It is not like they have never seen a more handsome young man than this.
The problem is that the long sword of the little old man Dou Gui has now fallen into the hands of the young man, and is being pinched in his hands as if he were kneading noodles. After three or two strokes, the sword of the poor old man Dou Gui fell into the hands of the young man.
The sword was crumpled into a ball of scrap metal.
"Broken sword! It's not fun at all!"
After muttering aloud, the young boy shook his hand and threw Old Man Dou Gui's scrap iron sword on the ground like trash. Then he turned his head and gave Old Man Dou a blank look and said, "Would you like to fight again?" (
