I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 225 Forbearance for two years, when the time comes, the ashes of the barbarians will be thrown away! (55)

Xu Fenglei shook his head again.

"There is no need to deal with it, someone will take care of him."

He smiled lightly,

"Does Your Highness still remember Zhao Cihao?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"Of course I remember, Binzhou Guard."

He nodded and said,

"You also said at the beginning that this person is a lucky general who can help me get rid of a big enemy."

"Uh... what do you mean?"

Li Shimin already had a guess in his mind.

"That's right, the one who will capture Li Yi in the future will be Zhao Cihao."

Xu Fenglei said firmly,

"After fighting in Binzhou in the past, I knew about it."

"So, whether it's Li Yi or Li Yuan, His Highness doesn't have to worry, they won't be able to make any waves."

"But there is a big enemy at present, and it is a huge challenge for Datang!"

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone held their breath, even Wei Zheng raised his head.

Even Mr. Da said it was a huge challenge, so it must be an extremely serious event!
"Speak!" Li Shimin said hurriedly.

"Turks."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"His Highness once analyzed that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan have been in frequent contact in the past two months, but there is no movement. They must be preparing for a big move!"

"I speculate that the two of them may have joined forces together. In addition, Jieli Khan has figured out the deployment of our troops in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years. Once they go south, they will definitely march interspersed to avoid all the military towns. Feng pointed directly at Chang'an!"

"It won't be too long, at most three months, and my words will come true!"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

Everyone: "!!!"

At this moment, after hearing Xu Fenglei's speculation, everyone's heart twitched violently!
This is amazing!

"Three months?!"

Yuchi said hurriedly,
"I'm going to get the map!"

In a short time, he had already fetched the military map and spread it on the table.

"If it's true what Mr. Da said, we should dispatch border guards now and return to Chang'an to defend them!"

Qin Qiong said in a deep voice,
"The troops on the outside line have been withdrawn in three months, and the time is a bit tight. I'm afraid we have to act immediately, and His Highness must issue an edict immediately!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a little tense.

There is no way, Xu Fenglei is too heavyweight, so that the words he said are very important!

From the very beginning, his magic has been admired by everyone, and until now he has never missed a single thing, let alone a word!

And today, after the success of the Xuanwu Gate, his prestige has reached its peak!
He is straight up!

Say three months, then the Turks must come to Chang'an within three months!
"I was worried about this before, but now I'm more determined after hearing what Ming said."

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said,
"What happened here in Chang'an, Jieli Khan will soon know that it is indeed the best time for him to use his troops during the vacant period of power change in the Tang Dynasty!"

"If I were him, I would also choose to launch a war at this time,"

"It seems that the border guards should be recalled and returned to the capital to protect them!"

"It's not too late!"

boom!
"Give Li Jing, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shiji all a decree!"

Li Shimin decided decisively,

"Let them transfer [-]% of the garrison to return to Chang'an. In addition, let Li Jing, Li Daozong and Li Shiji lead the troops back to Beijing to report on their duties."

"If the Turks go all out, they can probably mobilize more than 20 troops to come, then I will send 20 soldiers in Chang'an, and let him be surprised when the time comes!"

When Jieli Khan came to Chang'an across thousands of mountains and rivers, he found that there were 20 troops waiting for him in Chang'an.

At that time, his expression must have been very funny.

"Your Highness, since you know the Turks' movements, why don't you use your troops to outflank and eat up his army?"

Hou Junji was puzzled and said,

"The encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops can reflect our army's first-mover advantage. Even if we can't wipe out the Turkic soldiers and horses, we can kill him a big defeat!"

"If we just dispatch our troops back to defend, I'm afraid we won't get much results..."

His doubts are also the doubts of several generals.

Logically speaking, His Highness is also a man who knows how to fight. Why didn't he even use such a simple outflanking strategy, and instead adopted the most stupid defense.

However, several civil servants, including Wei Zheng, showed approval.

"Over the years, my father has been tired of government affairs, so that my Tang treasury is empty and the people's strength is insufficient. The world is waiting for prosperity, and a peaceful environment is urgently needed to resume production and restore people's strength."

Li Shimin sighed softly,

"Jun Ji is right. If he uses the outflanking strategy, he will definitely be defeated."

"But this is useless. There are many Turkic cavalry and they are quick to move. If I surround them with 20 troops, I will not be able to wipe them out. Even if we win, it will not mean much. On the contrary, as Wei Zheng said, it will be a waste of military and civilian power."

"Launching a war rashly will inevitably weaken the already small family base. Therefore, in this battle, we can only show force, not use force. What I want is bigger and more bargaining chips on the negotiating table. "

Wei Zheng's expression moved.

Li Shimin's ability to say such words has already greatly changed his mind!
This Highness is by no means a tyrant, what he said can only be uttered by a sage monarch with both civil and military skills!
Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really a wise king through the ages who can fight on horseback and rule when dismounted?

For a moment, his mind was already a little shaken.

I'm about to be overwhelmed by Li Shimin!
"I agree with your Highness's words."

Xu Fenglei nodded and said,

"Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, it has experienced wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, coupled with years of natural and man-made disasters, and the emperor's lazy administration, so that both the court and the people are barren."

"If there is a bloody battle with the Turks at this moment, there will definitely be blood feuds. Even if Jieli flees in embarrassment this time, he will definitely not be reconciled, and will make a comeback! The subjects of the world will never have peace!"

"So, with Chen's 20 soldiers, a decent peace negotiation is the right strategy at the moment. After we have grown for two years and have enough soldiers and food, we will give him a wave of flattening and kill him all. His ashes will be thrown away!"

Li Shimin: "..."

Everyone: "..."

This is too cruel!
"Cough... the words of Mr. Da's plan for the country are seconded by the minister."

Du Ruhui gave a dry cough and agreed.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

"..."

All civil servants agreed one after another.

When the generals heard about Xu Fenglei's painting, they were also gearing up for it!

"Okay! Since we want the ashes of Yang Jieli Khan's mother when the time comes, let's bear with it for two years. When the time comes, kill him!"

"Yes, winning a battle is always the most enjoyable battle of annihilation, and I agree!"

"Me too... I agree!"

"..."

Xu Fenglei's words met everyone's appetite, and they were unanimously approved in the meeting hall of Tiance Mansion!
