Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1077;

Chapter 32;

The end of summer in the fifth year of AD 640.

The grassland coalition army and Li Tang army finally kicked off the prelude to the bloody battle.

Li Yu wanted to send the dead men to the depths of the grassland to contact the Ashinasheer tribe and form an alliance with the Uighur tribe.

But this plan has long been calculated by the grassland coalition forces, and the precautions are very careful.

More than 3 dead soldiers were almost killed and injured, which triggered the reinforcements of Li Tang and the Han people to rescue them.

In the end, they were counted by the prairie people again, and they surrounded the spot to fight for reinforcements, defeating Li Tang's army steadily.

The first battle was defeated, and the Second World War was defeated. Li Yu commanded the army to act, and the 40 Han troops rushed to rescue the former army.

In the third fight, the Han people still couldn't take advantage of it, and the grassland coalition forces still held the initiative, and the Han people's country was extremely dangerous.

The ruler of Tubo abandoned Zongnong, discussed with the Khan of the eight surnames of Tie Le, and dispatched troops urgently to spread the news of the border emergency to various parts of the Central Plains.

He wanted to cause greater panic within the Li Tang court, and then remove and replace Li Yu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and then wipe out the Han army in one fell swoop when the old commander left and the new commander took office and was not familiar with the inside information of the army.

In fact, all the news was sent back to Chang'an City according to the rules of Li Tang's court.

It's just that they have been suppressed by the imperial court and did not dare to let the people of the world know that the frontier is already extremely dangerous, and it may fall anytime and anywhere.

However, after the Han people dressed up as grassland people came to the Central Plains to spread the news, the Han people really panicked to the extreme.

People in many counties and cities closest to the north are packing their bags and watching the situation. Once something goes wrong, they can escape immediately to save their lives.

There are also some timid people who dare not wait, and have already taken their families and children to flee.

but!

If the border is lost, the whole world will be occupied by grassland aliens, where should they flee?

Panic has been spreading.

The civil servants of the three provinces and six ministries also began to feel restless.

At the court meeting, they were arguing almost every day, whether to replace Li Yu and arrange for someone else to be the coach.

Cheng Yaojin could no longer suppress the scene, even though Li Shiji also helped Cheng Yaojin to support Li Yu.

But everyone else seemed to be advocating a replacement, and they also demanded a quick replacement. The situation was extremely tense.

This day at the court meeting, I just said a few words, but someone brought up the topic again, and the court meeting was as lively as the East and West cities.

Today's officials are divided into three factions, one of which supports Li Daozong, the deputy commander, as the commander-in-chief.

The other faction advocated that Deputy Commander Xue Wanche should accept the position of commander of the armed forces.

Another faction advocated that there should be Shangshu Zuopushe, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Shiji to lead the troops.

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Jing, who is retired and living at home, is dying of illness and just waiting for his last breath, these people would definitely move Li Jing out.

Li Shimin kept a dark face and didn't say a word. He hadn't eaten for two meals. For seven or eight days in a row, he didn't have a meal. He often couldn't sleep and went out for a walk at night.

He didn't know anything about the elder son's actions. Before he left, the elder son had already told Li Shimin what he was going to do and the overall plan. Li Shimin was the only one who knew the inside story in this world.

But even though Li Shimin knew that everything was acting, Li Shimin still had trouble sleeping and eating. He was worried that his eldest son would be self-defeating, and the fake would turn out to be true, but it would be very bad. If so...

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was very contradictory. On the one hand, he knew that his eldest son was amazingly talented. The elders moved in unison.

But on the other hand, he was worried that Li Yu would not be able to compete with those old and cunning grassland leaders.

In case of failure, the Central Plains will face the butcher's knife of the prairie people. In that case, Li Shimin will be the eternal sinner in the hearts of all Han people!
After all, the grassland coalition forces exceeded 60 troops, and the eldest son was only in his 30s.

But even if he doesn't support him himself, who else can have a good word for him?

Li Shimin thought of himself when he was young again, isn't it the same?

At that time, how eager was Aye's support?

All of the above, all kinds of things...caused Li Shimin to waver and worry!Live like a year!

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty!"

The calls of the officials finally woke up Li Shimin who was struggling in his heart.

Although the erysipelas in the past few years was rescued by a Taoist arranged by Li Yu, Li Shimin's body also suffered a lot of damage.

Today's Li Shimin is as old as an old man in his 70s, his body is failing, and his energy can't keep up. The once strong heart is gone forever!
"Ok?"

"Oh, what did you dear friends say?"

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, there have been three consecutive defeats at the border. Shuai Li is already overwhelmed with heavy responsibilities. I implore His Majesty the Emperor to change the commander as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter how late it is...I'm afraid it will lead to a big mistake. Please consider carefully, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Please consider carefully, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hundreds of civil servants spoke in unison, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

"This……"

"My dear friends, don't worry, wait for me to be careful..."

Li Shimin stopped before he finished speaking, because the Hongling messenger had arrived again.

There was a rapid sound of bamboo whistles outside the Taiji Hall, and then the sound of horseshoes getting closer.

"Report!"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Tell me, what's the situation at the border?"

"only!"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, there is an emergency at the border, please His Majesty the Emperor to send rescue troops quickly, my commander..."

"Snapped!"

Before the soldier who reported the letter could finish his sentence, Li Shimin slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with a slap, Li Shimin's face was full of anger!

"Your family is handsome?"

"Do you still have the face to say it?"

"My 40 soldiers have been handed over to him. Could it be that they are all wine bags and rice bags?"

"In the past, when did my fierce generals and warriors not have more enemies with fewer?"

"How many troops were there before? What about now? How much more troops this time than before, and they still have to lose three games in a row?"

"What the hell is going on, what the hell is he doing? Huh?"

"Tell me! Did you get a lot of women in the barracks again for fun?"

The more Li Shimin talked, the more excited he got, he stood up and walked down the steps, pointed at the soldier who reported the letter, and shouted!

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, my commander-in-chief did not play with women, nor was he lewd for pleasure. Since the commander-in-chief went to the border, he has been arranging things non-stop. He often eats one meal a day, and sometimes this meal is still on horseback. Eating dry food."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, my commander-in-chief has tried his best, really tried his best..."

The soldier who came to report the letter stubbornly defended his commander in chief, but was interrupted again by Li Shimin.

"Do your best?"

"How did he try his best?"

"Played three times and failed three times. Is he doing his best?"

"He kept saying that he wanted to show me something, so that's what he did?"

"Where is he now?" Is he still nesting in his Chinese military tent eating meat and wine? "

"Your Majesty, I don't know the end of the day... My family's commander-in-chief...he..."

The strong soldier was choked up while speaking, and two lines of tears flowed down his face...

These words, coupled with the soldiers' tears, scared Li Shimin to forget that the military situation was urgent.Forget about border crossings.

The eldest son, who was publicly known to the world, was sent away. It was he who tried every means to save the life of that beast.

Now this is the most excellent, the eldest son who resembles him the most, is something wrong?

There are more than 60 rebels fighting at the border, but I don't want to be here in Chang'an City, Li Shimin can still protect him...

In just a split second, Li Shimin was in darkness!
At this moment, he is not a high-ranking human emperor, and at this moment he is not a ninth-five king.

At this moment, he is an ordinary father, an ordinary Aye.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Shiji next to him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly supported the crumbling emperor.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

After a brief coma, Li Shimin was rescued by two ministers who pinched him.

The old servant Qian Dehai who ran down next to him hurriedly took out a Daoist Dandan from his bosom, and asked someone to fetch warm water for Li Shimin to drink.

After waking up, Li Shimin tightly grasped the arms of the two courtiers.

"My... son... that little... bastard... How is your handsome man? Don't worry, just speak slowly."

"only!"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the bandits are too powerful, and they are not afraid of death. It was all the attention of the Tubo king who said that everything from the Han people, including money, cattle, sheep, and women, was given to the soldiers and clansmen. Seventy percent is divided, and the remaining thirty percent belongs to their leader, Khan."

"Therefore, those aliens at the border are all morale like a rainbow, rushing to kill desperately."

"Also, Your Majesty, the thieves are not 60 coalition troops. They are too many. When the last general heard a few words from the generals, he said that there were almost 80 troops. Those tribes almost released all of them. Army, we are understaffed and stretched."

"When Li Daozong, the deputy commander, led his troops to rescue the [-]-man team, he fell into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and was besieged near Lianglang Mountain. My family's commander-in-chief was so angry that he led the troops to rescue them in person, but they figured it out again. "

"I get it, it's not easy for you guys, you take your time and tell me, my...what's wrong with him?"

"My boss is missing, he was seriously injured..."

"what?"

"what?"

"Oh……"

The princes and ministers in the Tai Chi Palace had very different expressions, some were regretful, some were distressed, some were different, and there were three or four of them, their faces were full of complacency, and the aged emperor looked at them and quickly lowered their heads.

Li Shimin is old, but his heart is still so wise, how can he not see those disgusting faces that gloat over others' misfortune!
Isn't it just the three or four guys who are the most powerful, clamoring to kill Li Chengqian?

Now when he heard that Li Shimin's son was seriously injured again, it would be difficult for him to survive, so he couldn't be more happy, so he couldn't hold back, and showed a smile that shouldn't be there, which was clearly seen by the emperor.

Li Shimin took two deep breaths and stopped the messenger who wanted to continue reporting.

"Go to my study and tell me what happened to my eldest son."

"only!"

"hiss……"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Your Majesty? Don't talk nonsense..."

Li Shimin acted as if he hadn't heard it, and without turning his head, he left the Taichi Hall infinitely lonely, and said weakly while walking;

"Zuo Pushe, Zhijie comes in with me."

"According to the order."

"It's brother."

Cheng Yaojin held back his tears, and called out the title he used decades ago, followed closely beside Li Shimin, supporting the faltering emperor.

A group of people came to the study and sat down. Li Shimin seemed to have returned to the era when the [-]th princes were full of smoke and dust, and his face was full of firm and resolute dark colors.

"Tell me, how did my eldest son get hurt? Is it serious? Where is he now?"

"It's Your Majesty, I'm reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, Tie Le Ba surnames mobilized 20 troops... just because... my family's commander was caught off guard and was besieged by the Tubo army. He fought for two days and one night. The 30 troops led by the commander-in-chief fought desperately against the conspiratorial Iron Man, but lost to the [-] to [-] coalition troops of the opposing two families."

"In the chaos, the commander was shot by our light crossbow in the left chest and fell off the horse... Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty."

"Brother!"

Cheng Yaojin rushed forward with a roar.

Li Shimin heard that the other party had snatched Li Tang's light crossbow, and shot his eldest son in the chest in turn, his eyes turned white, and he was limp in the grand master's chair, and fell to the ground along the chair.

Several people panicked, and hurried up to help them. The head servant, Qian Dehai, turned pale with fright, and quickly took out another big return pill, pried open Li Shimin's mouth, squeezed it open with his hands, and poured clean water into Li Shimin's mouth .

It may be that the blow was too big this time, and Li Shimin, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes half an hour later.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the border, not to destroy the thieves in the grassland, and vow not to return to Chang'an."

"Brother, my brother is willing to go to the north and work hard for my brother."

Whether it's Li Shiji or Cheng Yaojin, both of them are thinking in the same direction, hurry to find the emperor's smartest son, and then wipe out the enemy, try their best to turn the tide, keep the country of the Han people, and countless small families of everyone...

In fact, in this situation, if we only talk about personal safety and family safety, it is not suitable to ask for orders.

After all, the enemy's strength is too strong, and the situation is obviously very unfavorable to Li Tangjun.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it's a mess, and it's so bad that it can't get any worse.

No matter who it is, they will accept their orders in the face of danger. If they win, everyone will be happy, but if they lose, they will be infamous forever!
But both of them are unswervingly pleading for orders. Looking at the Li and Tang courts, there are only three people who can be the commander-in-chief of the three armies at this moment.

Except for Li Jing, who was dying, Xue Wanche, who was still in charge of the overall situation at the border, and Cheng Yaojin, who was guarding Chang'an City, were left.

Other than these three people, the rest are generals who charge into the battle, and there is no other talent for commanding.

The two also knew clearly in their hearts that if they didn't leave, the homes of countless Han people would be in danger.

even……

Even if you go to the border, you may not be able to turn the tide...
