Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 94: The World Attacks the Tang Dynasty
The news of the invasion of the Golden Tent in the south was like a wildfire, which quickly burned the entire world and shocked the entire Central Plains.
Chang'an City reacted very quickly. Li Yu used his strong courage to suppress the uproar in the court. He ignored his possible laughing stock in the future and issued several military orders, ordering the Zhenbei Army, which was moving towards Tuyang City, to retreat immediately.
, formed a horn with Beidaying, and set up two lines of defense outside Hebei County...
At the same time, she ordered the Zhennan Army to immediately end the battle with the savage tribes in the primeval forest, and asked them to rush to the northern border of the empire to participate in the war in the shortest time. At the same time, she ordered Shu Cheng to go out to fight a part of the Western Army along the Pamir Mountains and go north from the rear.
Harassing guerrilla warfare against the Jinguan cavalry that invaded the Tang territory.
What shocked the ministers in the court most was that Li Yu didn't care that Chang'an City might be out of control and transferred the Yulin Army, whom he had the deepest control, to the northern border!
At the emergency court meeting, all the ministers admitted that His Highness's arrangements were not selfish and were extremely timely, but some people still expressed their fierce opposition.
In the eyes of those ministers, the Zhenbei Army could not support Tuyang City, so the Yan Army and the cavalry of the Left Chanting Wangting could march straight into the sky. His Highness transferred the Yulin Army to the northern border, and then the troops were at the city, Chang'an
What should I do if the city is? The Zhenbei Army has been in trouble and morale will inevitably be damaged. It is better to continue to go to Tuyang City as previously decided, and the important task of resisting the southern invasion of the Golden Tent Royal Court will be handed over to the remaining troops.
Li Yu resolved the dispute in just two sentences.
"Chang'an City cannot be captured."
"I'm not afraid of death, why are you afraid of death?"
...
...
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Yu always showed great politeness and gentleness. The reason why she turned against her previous attitude at this time was that she showed her absolutely tough side because she knew better than anyone else that the terribleness of the Golden Treasure Royal Court.
She once married the talented and powerful Chanyu of the Golden Tent Wangting. She lived in that wasteland for a long time. She knew that the grassland cavalry that had been quiet for many years were the real threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Until now, her guards are still the barbarians brought back from the wasteland.
She knew very well that the Golden Tent Royal Court was a monster, but was suppressed by the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. If the Tang Dynasty could no longer be suppressed, it would inevitably produce unimaginable destructive power.
Compared with the cavalry of the King's Court of the Golden Tent, the cavalry of the King's Court of the Left Tent is like a child who has not grown up yet, and the Yan army is more like a girl who can only cry.
Under the terrible pressure of the Jinzhang Wangting invasion, Li Yu had no interest in paying attention to the troops led by Prince Longqing. She knew very well that only by the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty and the local armies of various prefectures and counties would make those people tired.
It is in vain. Except for the people who will suffer some losses, it will not affect the overall situation at all.
So even though the officials of the Queen's faction opposed it, even the ministers who were most loyal to her carefully expressed their doubts in private, she still insisted on mobilizing the power of the entire empire and heading north.
The facts in the future will prove that her decision is correct.
However, at that time, not many people could understand her decision. After the court meeting, she felt extremely tired. A faint fear slowly rose in the deepest part of her heart.
Could this be the retribution for tampering with the will of the father?
At this moment, there was a noise outside the hall. She frowned slightly. Before she could say anything, several officials came hurriedly under the leadership of the eunuch. Li Huiyuan took He Mingchi and the new general manager of the Tianchuang.
They also walked in through the side door, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn.
Li Yu's heart was slightly slight, but his expression did not change much. He asked, "What happened?"
He Mingchi glanced at His Majesty the Emperor.
Li Huiyuan walked forward and handed a letter from her hand to Li Yu.
The minister who came out of the palace trembled his voice and said, "The Xiling Temple has just issued an imperial edict."
...
...
The edict from the Xiling Temple, together with a handwritten letter from the head sect, was sent to Chang'an City.
In the edict, the Xiling Temple exposed the origin of the Empress, pointing out that Emperor Tang protected the remnants of the Demon Sect for decades, and was a blasphemy of a filthy country. The two generations of the academy were punished by heaven, all because of disrespect for Haotian.
Therefore, the temple called on the world to attack the Tang Dynasty. It also said that the royal court of the Golden Tent went south, and it was also the order of Haotian to persuade the believers of the Tang Dynasty to not resist and to overthrow the dark royal family as their main task.
After reading the imperial edict from the temple, Li Yu began to read the in charge of the sect's handwritten letter.
Compared with the beautiful edicts of the temple, the letter from the head sect gave her was much simpler, with only one sentence written on it: "Night covers the stars, the Tang Dynasty is restless, so the palace is down."
She remained silent, her fingers holding the letter paper trembling constantly.
The hall was quiet. Li Huiyuan looked at his emperor sister nervously. He Mingchi lowered his head slightly. The eunuchs and palace maids looked pale and the ministers widened their eyes.
If the golden tent royal court went south and was the strongest enemy that the Tang Empire had encountered in decades, then the edict from the Xiling Temple and the handwritten letter from the head sect are the things that all the Tang people fear the most.
Yes, there is no country in this world that can defeat the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is the Golden Tent Royal Court, as long as the Tang Empire can survive the initial period, it will eventually win.
However, if the whole world began to attack the Tang Dynasty, could the Tang Dynasty still stand it? Many years ago, the Tang Dynasty faced a similar situation, but at that time, there was a master in the Tang Dynasty, and now the Master has reached the sky.
...
...
If you use the power of the world to attack one country, and if you replace it with any other country, you will collapse directly in the face of such terrifying pressure and desperate prospects.
The Tang Dynasty did not collapse. The confidence and strong spirit that had been hammered for a whole thousand years made the people living here alert and uneasy, but they still did not have the idea of giving up.
All the institutions of the court acted as quickly as possible, and Chang'an City was in full swing, and various military orders set out from Chang'an City and sent to every area of the vast territory.
In contrast, the imperial palace, the center of political and military power in the Tang Dynasty, became quieter.
Everything you should do is doing, so what else can you do besides waiting?
Li Yu stood by the stone railing, looking at the moon in the night sky, silent.
She thought of the words in the letter written by the head of the Xiling Temple, and the instructions made by the Imperial Heaven Supervision many years ago. She slowly clamped her hands behind her, her nails cut into the palm of her palm, and a trace of blood was dyed.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fear and confusion in her heart, turned around and walked around the side of the hall, walked past the small lake, and walked into the imperial study room.
Since she tampered with the will and allowed Li Huiyuan to ascend the throne, she has never entered the imperial study again. Because this small room was filled with the smell of her father, she felt a little depressed.
But she still came today because she needed her father to give her spiritual comfort and support.
A general from the military headquarters walked into the imperial study and performed military salutes. The war had not yet affected Chang'an City, but the entire empire was facing war, so now is not a period of peace, but a period of war.
"When will General Xu Shi arrive in Chang'an?" she asked as she looked at the general.
