Chapter 149: Nine rides out of Chang’an

Chapter 149 Nine rides out of Chang'an

"Shubao, you are now in charge of commanding the entire Chang'an decisive battle. I think how about calling all the generals in command to discuss the specific combat arrangements?" Du Ruhui asked.

"No problem, we people will never be slowed down in war, but there is a problem that I still have to ask Da Sima to solve it. Now that soldiers and horses from all walks of life are gathered, there are 500,000 horses in Chang'an city and outside the city. Everyone is dedicated to protecting the king. They came in a hurry, and they didn’t have much food and grass, so I asked Da Sima to coordinate and dispatch, so we can’t let the loyal and loyal King Qin go to war hungry, right?” Qin Qiong replied.

Then the voice over there became much quieter.

He lost his mind like ants on a hot pot. He didn't expect to be locked up here, but he overheard such a secret, but it's useless to know. He's locked up here now, and he can't even come out. don't go.

On this day, the Menxia Provincial Political Affairs Hall was very lively, with many people coming and going.

First, Xiao Yu, Feng Lun and other prime ministers discussed the matter, and then Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and other political participants also came to discuss the matter. Half a day later, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui, Yu Chi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Shiji, Zhang Gongjin, Qu Tutong and other members of Qin Wang, the generals in charge of the army, all gathered together . These generals were all loud and loud, and they would slap the table and scold their mothers at every turn, always claiming to do it.

Especially that Li Shiji, who likes to talk about destroying this court food, destroying this court food. At the beginning, I was dazzled and lost my mind because I didn't understand the meaning of this word, and then I suddenly thought, "To destroy this morning food, doesn't it mean to eat early after the war?"

Damn it, why are these Tang Dynasty generals so arrogant and confident?

But when I think of the fact that they have an army of 500,000 and a strong city to rely on, they really have the capital. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but feel that it was really too risky for Xieli Dahan to send troops to the south and head straight for Chang'an.

Hungry growled, but he lost his mind and didn't call for the guards. He finally got such an opportunity to eavesdrop on Datang's core secrets. How could he miss it? He wanted to hear more.

Until evening.

At the time when he thought that the prime ministers and generals participating in politics would no longer discuss matters, he suddenly heard the order from the guards. It turned out that the emperor Li Shimin would visit the political affairs hall in person.

After listening for a long time, he realized that there was only one reason why the emperor came to the Zhengshitang in person, and the Zhenfu Sicheng had just returned from Weibei.

This shocked Zhishenli very much. Could it be that Tang Tianzi had secretly sent someone to the Weibei Turkic camp long ago?

After waiting for a long time, finally the prime minister, the political attendant, the general and the emperor gathered in the political affairs hall to discuss matters. There was also a younger voice, which was the mysterious Zhenfu Sicheng who had returned from Weibei.

"Tuli Khan."

"Yu Sheshe."

"Extension."

·······

The more he listened and lost his mind, the more flustered he became. Unexpectedly, this Zhenfu Sicheng turned out to be the son of the general Qin Qiong and the emperor's son-in-law. Not long ago, he secretly went to the Tuli camp in Weibei, and he had already had a relationship with Tuli. Yu Sheshe and Tuoshe reached a secret agreement.

It was they who betrayed Wu Meichu, who was originally loyal to Jieli Khan, so Wu Meichu's whereabouts were betrayed in both actions, allowing the Tang army to ambush in advance, and finally the entire army was wiped out.

Tuli also forced Wu Meichuu, who had finally escaped, to commit suicide.

According to the information disclosed by these Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, Tuli was like this only because Li Shimin promised him that after this joint killing of Xieli, he would be the Great Khan of Turkic.

At that time, Yu Sheshe will be Chuluo Little Khan, and Tuoshe will be Ye Hu.

The three of them divided up Xieli's pasture land and livestock population.

Drenched in sweat, lost in thought and frightened.

August 24th.

East Palace, Xiande Hall.

Li Shimin is having final discussions with Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui and other prime ministers and generals.

"When will the power of losing mind be released?"

"It's not urgent yet." Li Shimin looked at the map.

"What changes have occurred in the Weibei Turkic army?"

Qin Lang stepped forward and replied, "According to the investigation of our Zhenfu Division, since Jieli's arrival, Jieli has mobilized various Turkic troops. Now Jieli is still stationed in Jingyang, and Tuli is stationed in Xianyang. Li set up stationed in Gaoling, Liang divisions stationed in Jincheng, and Yugu set up to lead the old and the weak to herd sheep along the Jinghe River and Baiqu."

Although the Turkic army is divided into groups, each group has more than 50,000 to 80,000 troops, and they also keep in touch with each other, and the distance is not far. Xieli's mobilization was obviously in preparation for crossing the Weihe River. After all, nearly 300,000 horses could not cross the river in one place, and divide the troops into several places to cross the south. Guard and disperse the troops of the Tang army.

Li Shimin looked at the deployment map.

"Shubao, Keming, you two mobilize your troops and move the elite troops from Chang'an to the south bank of the bridge to the west, and hide them first, don't say anything."

When Du Ruhui heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, nearly 300,000 Turkic troops are now drinking the Mawei River. Li Shiji, Zhang Gongjin, Huang Junhan, Qu Tutong, and Ren Kai have not yet entered the pass. At present, there are only a total of 300,000 Turkic troops in Longyou Hexi. Bao and Chai Shao's 50,000 soldiers have arrived, and Li Yi in Jingzhou is still a hidden danger. If all the elites are transferred to the West Wei Bridge, if Jieli's soldiers suddenly cross from the Zhongwei and Dongwei lines to the south, then Chang'an may be destroyed. It's dangerous."

"Jie Li is not afraid if he dares to cross the river. Chang'an City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Besides, soldiers are not expensive. It is enough to arrange 30 to 50 thousand people in the south of Xiwei Bridge."

"May I ask you boldly, why send elite soldiers to Xiwei Bridge?"

Li Shimin smiled, "I plan to go to Xiwei Bridge to meet my old friend Tuli Khan."

In Pingkang Square.

The autumn wind is rustling, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is fragrant.

Not to mention, there is a beauty in her arms at night.

Yu Xiao personally made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which has a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

During Qin Lang's absence, the number of disaster victims in his 200-acre mansion has exceeded 1,000. If he hadn't registered with the yamen, he would have been impeached for taking in so many people. Although he is not at home, the oil tea assembly line he created before is still producing, and it is said that it has become a kind of food that Chang'an likes now.

It is popular because of its convenience, fastness, hunger resistance and cheapness.

Not only the Ministry of War has begun to discuss cooperative processing, but the people in Chang'an and the victims of the disaster also like this kind of food deeply, especially if it is paired with the seasoning package (fish bone powder) (tender vegetable powder) produced by the Qin family, it is delicious .

"Sanlang is not at home these days, so my concubine made her own decision and opened a shop in the eastern and western cities to sell these oil teas and seasoning packets made by the seller. In addition, I also discussed with the lady in Qinrenfang, A porridge shop was set up in the east, west, and south of the city, and the camellia noodles and seasoning packets made at home were brewed and given to the victims and people to eat, and everyone was very grateful."

After Qin Lang heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yuxiao to have such brains and execution ability.

"Are there many people who give porridge in Chang'an?"

"There were quite a lot, not much at the beginning. Later, after we and Qi Guogong's mansion in Qinrenfang began to give porridge, Su Guogong's mansion and many other generals who had made good friends with our family also started to give porridge. Later, the prime minister of the court , Gongqing’s family also started giving porridge, and gradually, the big households in Chang’an also joined the porridge giving team. Now Chang’an City, there are more and more refugees every day. Get some porridge to drink every day."

"The yamen didn't give out porridge for disaster relief?"

"Our family, Alang, is now a herdsman in Yongzhou. He organizes disaster relief and donates porridge. It's just that the government has limited food manpower and there are not many porridge sheds."

"Sanlang, when do you think the Turks will retreat? If this continues, it won't be a problem. It's almost September, and this year's autumn sowing is delayed. We have so many fields, and the autumn harvest will suffer a lot. gone."

Qin Lang shook his head.

"At this time, what do you want to do? In comparison, those displaced people are the most pitiful. It's not cold right now. If it gets colder, or if it rains a few times in autumn, those people will be the real ones. It's pathetic."

"When will the Turks retreat?"

"It should be soon."

"Really?"

"Um."

Qin Lang couldn't enjoy a long time of leisure at home, Li Shimin sent someone to call him again.

As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, he found that Li Shimin had already put on his armor.

"Your Majesty, this is?"

"You follow me to the Xiwei Bridge, and you will meet for a while."

"Your Majesty wants to go in person?"

"Why, I have fought for many years, and have not fought in any big battle? Besides, I didn't go to fight!" Li Shimin finished, "Is the power of obsession still turned off?"

"Well, the minister has already transferred him to the Zhenfu Sizhao Prison, where he is served with food and drink. He can't hear a word that he shouldn't be allowed to hear, and he can't see anyone who shouldn't be in contact with him."

"Very well, continue to lock it up, and let him go after I see Tuli."

Qin Qiong came over in armor.

"Your Majesty, the south of the Xiwei Bridge has been deployed. Five thousand Xuanjia Jingqi, 10,000 Jingqi, and the other 30,000 Guanzhong elite soldiers, the minister personally leads!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, "Originally I wanted to keep you in Chang'an, but you insist on going, then let Wuji and Hou Junji assist Xiao Yufeng Deyi and the others to stay in Chang'an."

Afternoon.

The emperor Li Shimin was wearing a golden armor and riding a Teller Pussy, followed by the general Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong as guards, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Gao Shilian, three prime ministers, and finally Qin Lang riding a leopard The head follows.

Jiu rode out of the East Palace and crossed Zhuque Avenue.

The people in Chang’an City were surprised to see that the emperor was traveling without a full guard of honor. Some even mistakenly thought that the emperor was fleeing from Chang’an.

"I am the son of heaven, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and my home. My country and family are here. How could I abandon this place?"

"The Turkic army invaded, and the soldiers approached the Weishui River. I will personally guard Chang'an."

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"

Li Shimin's few words made the people shocked and cheered. Everyone likes such a kind king.

As a result, Li Shimin rode out of Chang'an on nine rides, followed by countless Chang'an people, gathering more and more, even those victims who were forced to flee to the city of Chang'an due to the Turkic invasion and couldn't even eat enough, were all very excited Following His Majesty the Emperor, he was going to defend the Turks and kill the Hulu.

Nine rides out of Chang'an, but thousands of Tang people follow behind!

"Together in the national calamity!"

Li Shimin, the emperor on horseback, couldn't help crying because of this scene.

"The common people have not failed me, so how dare I betray the common people!"

"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand people and one hundred thousand soldiers, the people's hearts are like this, no matter how fierce the Turks are, they have no fear!" Qin Qiong was also very moved.
