Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"You all, get up."

"Fuji, Wei Zheng, Ke Ming, you three will be responsible for the transportation of food and fodder. The one million dan of food will all be allocated to you."

"Go, pharmacist, give Yaojin and the others the map and the clairvoyance."

"This time, our Tang Dynasty will win!"

"Come on, come on. Even though it's a little hasty, we have been preparing for this. We must avenge the humiliation of three years ago today!!"

Li Shimin growled.

Everyone nodded.

Hurry down and get busy.

Li Shimin sat in front of the Taiji Palace, took out the map and looked at it carefully.
.
…….……….
Chang'an is in chaos.

As the flag officers entered the city, the urgent news from the northern border had already sparked countless discussions.

Soon after, the people of Chang'an also discovered it, and the sixteen guards army surrounding Chang'an also began to mobilize.

All of this indicates that the war has begun!
Turks are coming!!
……..…….…….
Prince Wei's Mansion.

Li Tai listened to them talking about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

I am going to be the emperor!

The border defense map that the Prince of Wei's Palace gave to the Turks played a huge role, otherwise, it would not have been so easy to break through the northern border defense line!

come on!

come on!

come on!

When the time comes, I will definitely open the city gates and go out of the city to welcome you personally!
"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, don't worry. Everything is going very smoothly over there in the Turkic region. Hehehe..."

"I believe that it won't be long before they reach Chang'an. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are definitely no match for the Turkish cavalry."

Wei Ting said with a smile.

"Yes, look at how panicked this Blood Flag Officer is. It really won't take a few days. It's almost here, the Turks will be here soon!"

"Your Highness, please don't go out these days. Chang'an will be in chaos. Just wait for the throne to be ascended."

Chai Lingwu said easily.

"That's right, Your Highness. I have already had someone secretly prepare the dragon robe. When the Turks enter the city, Your Highness, you can wear the dragon robe to greet them. This way, you will show more respect!"

Wei Ting agreed.

Li Tai laughed out loud.

"Good good!"

He said repeatedly.

But in the next breath, he suddenly thought about it and said, "How about changing the dragon robe into Turkic clothes? This will make us look like a family with the Turks."

"Isn't this much better than the dragon robe? Hahaha..."

Li Tai was excited about his idea.

Everyone thought about it and agreed that this made sense.

"Well, let's take your Highness's words."

Chai Lingwu said.

“Come, come, come!”

Li Tai was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He said boldly: "Serve the wine! Serve the food!"

"Celebrate together! The Turks are coming with a great victory!"
.
…….……….
Changan.

The Longxi Li family is in charge of the palace.

The head of the Longxi Li family is now sitting at the top with great comfort, a smile on his face, looking extremely relaxed and happy.

The heads of the Qinghe Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family also completely put their minds at ease.

News also came from the front that the Turks had broken through the defense lines of the Tang Dynasty and the northern border.

Now we are approaching the city of Yunzhou, and it won’t take long before we rush into Chang’an.

"The Turks are quite fast. This is good. We can cut the Gordian knot quickly. By the time Chang'an reacts, we will have won the victory."

“Hehehe…”

The head of the Longxi Li family said with a smile.

"The blood-flag officer has already entered the city. I guess Li Shimin also knows about the situation in the northern border."

"Sixteen guards, start mobilizing. We need to quickly collect information about the Sixteen Guards and tell the Turks."

"When the time comes, we can launch a surprise attack on the Sixteen Guards Army on the road. In this way, if we win this battle again, we will be completely secure."

The head of the Qinghe Cui family gently tapped his knees with his fingers and smiled.

"That's right! If these sixteen guards lose their lives, the Tang Dynasty will have to recruit soldiers from Jiangnan and other places if it wants to withdraw them."

“But this is not a fast speed.”

"Let's give orders to all the young men in various places to pay attention and greatly reduce the speed of conscription. By the time the armies are formed, we will have already captured Chang'an and controlled the world. Hahahaha..."

"I really don't know what the second son of the Li family is busy with now. I guess he has become an ant on the iron pot. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Really, he deserves it!!"

"I don't know what kind of person he is. How dare he go against us like this? This time, let him see clearly."

The head of the Longxi Li family took a sip of wine and spoke in an arrogant voice.

However, they have the capital to be arrogant.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire lobby was filled with joy.

"Come on, come on, drink, drink!!"

"Let the dancer come up and dance well, and wait quietly for Jie Li Khan and the others, hahahaha..."

"Let Li Shimin and the others worry about it!"

The head of the Longxi Li family shouted.

There was a celebration in the Li family’s main courtyard.

……….…….….
Chang'an was shrouded in dark clouds.

And the news soon spread in the city.

The defense line set up by the Tang Dynasty in the northern border has been broken by the Turks, and they will soon sweep through Chang'an.

All of a sudden, the people who were originally worried about the situation were completely furious.

"What's going on? What on earth is going on? Damn it, is the defense line that our Tang Dynasty has built in the northern border so messed up? No! How could it be broken through so easily?"

"Damn it! Damn it! What's going on with our Tang Dynasty defenders? Hiss... Now the Turks have arrived in Yunzhou City. What can we... do?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. Things haven't gotten to the worst yet. The Sixteen Guards have been successfully assembled and will be setting off today or tomorrow!!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, if Yunzhou City collapses, then our Chang'an will really be... massacred!!"

"Damn it, why are the Turks so strong? Even if the Tang Dynasty is weak, it can't be defeated so quickly."

"I don't know. I really don't know. Don't go to the north now. Turks have appeared in some places. Yunzhou City is about to become an isolated city."

“Hiss…hiss…what…what should I do?”

"In this situation, even if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu came, there would be nothing we could do. Damn it."

"Now, we can only trust the imperial court. At worst... at worst, I will go up there too. I don't believe that the Turks can go a thousand miles south!!"

"......."

The people in Chang'an City were all extremely excited and terrified.

Yunzhou City has become the place that people care about most.

The Tang Dynasty's defense lines were completely broken.

The Tang Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of being overthrown.

call…….
Although the people felt powerless, their hearts were filled with passion and their anger towards the Turks was completely ignited.

…….………….
Imperial City.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin hasn't slept for three days.

Changsun Wuji, King of Wei, Du Ruhui and Li Jing sat together around the table.

A map, spread out.

"Your Majesty, this time the army will rush forward at the fastest speed to support Yunzhou City."

"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde each led three guards, a total of 150,000 troops, and headed straight for the northern border."

"Zhang Liang, Hou Jun will lead the three guard armies and advance along the normal route. Supply these three armies at any time."

"There are four guard armies around Chang'an to protect Chang'an and respond quickly."

"These three vanguard armies will set out tonight, and the marching route is here..."

Li Jing carefully marked three routes on the map.

"This route can be said to have no twists and turns. We will wade through water and climb mountains, and try to reach Yunzhou City as quickly as possible."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Will this... be dangerous?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

To be honest, this route is definitely not the best.

Chang'an is mountainous. Northern Xinjiang is also mountainous.

If we were to encounter an ambush, the entire army would be in danger of being wiped out.

"meeting!!"

Li Jing took a deep breath.

"But, Your Majesty, there is no time left. We cannot delay any longer."

"The situation in Yunzhou City is worse than we thought. We must go to support them!!"

"Besides, the Turks certainly didn't expect that we could send troops so quickly!"

"Also, Zhang Liang and Hou are leading the army to advance normally to confuse the Turks."

"The Turks don't know our marching route. Although it's dangerous, it should be safe."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin was in deep thought.

This is true.

Besides, the Turks’ attention is now on Yunzhou City, and we probably won’t be able to intercept and kill them by the time they react.

The three armies should be able to attack Yunzhou City directly.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui all nodded almost at the same time.

"Your Majesty, this strategy should be the best strategy for our Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can only rely on ourselves in this matter of the Turks. Even His Royal Highness the King of Chu can do nothing."

"Your Majesty, there is no time to hesitate!!"

The three of them said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin clenched his fist and hammered hard on the map.

"Okay! Let's do it! Let's go!!"

Li Jing immediately took the order and hurried out.

Tai Chi Palace.

Some silence.

Li Shimin sat down on the stool.

After making this decision, all he, as the emperor, could do was wait and wait for good news from the front.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, our Tang Dynasty will definitely win!!"

Changsun Wuji said.

"That's right, Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Yunzhou City can still hold out for a while."

Wei Zheng's voice was also a little low.

“I… … .”

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

His eyes were on the map.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"At this time, I actually miss the King of Chu a little bit. I want him to help me with some advice."

"It seems that I have been relying too much on King Chu on weekdays. I have become dependent on him."

"But this is a national war, and the King of Chu has no other options. He has helped me so much, and I will protect this land for him this time, no matter what!"

Li Shimin said softly.

Zhang Sun Wuji pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be watching our Tang Dynasty. I'm sure he will agree with our strategy."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Your deployment, as well as that of the court, has reached its limit. If this is the case... then even if Master Qin comes, there will be nothing we can do."

Du Ruhui swallowed lightly.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

He sighed deeply.

Taiji Palace was silent again.

….…….……….
Northern Xinjiang.

Yunzhou City.

Corpses are everywhere.

The blood can be removed.

Broken branches and arms.

Scattered all over the place.

Li Ji stood on the city wall, looking at the Turkic soldiers retreating again below, and thrust the sword in his hand firmly into its scabbard.

The wind is howling!

The Tang Dynasty flag flying overhead fluttered in the wind.

"hiss……."

Li Ji took a deep breath.

"These sons of bitches are retreating again. Brothers, hold on! The reinforcements from Chang'an are on the way. When the reinforcements arrive, we will rush out and kill all these beasts!!"

Li Ji's eyes were black and red.

How many days has it been?

How many times did the Turks attack in total?
He can't remember it clearly.

But he was holding on, and so were the soldiers!

Dark clouds pressed down on Yunzhou City, as if a heavy rain was about to come.

"General, the Turks are trying to surround us and drive us to despair!"

Beside him, a deputy general said in a cold voice.

"Never mind them, is there any movement in Liang State?" This is what Li Ji is worried about now.

Ever since the Turks started the war, in the past, Liang would have rushed out like a mad dog, but this time, for some reason, there has been no movement.

"I don't know. Liang State has blocked the city gates, and no one is allowed to leave or come in. We have no way of finding out any information."

The deputy general said.

Li Ji took a deep breath.

"What are these guys up to? Forget it, just ignore them."

"Damn it, let the brothers have a good rest. We don't know when the Turkic dogs will come up again. Can we break out of other fortresses?"

Li Ji looked towards the north.

There, it was a dark mass, and it was the Turkic camp.

The Tang Dynasty’s previous defense line was still behind these camps.

Life and death do not know.

The situation is unknown.

"No one has managed to break out. However, according to reports from scouts, some fortresses are still holding out, but...the situation is not good."

The deputy general reported.

Li Ji's eyes darkened.

He wasn't talking.

He couldn't think of, he really couldn't think of, what went wrong.

The Tang Dynasty deployed a huge force of 150,000 troops on the northern border defense line.

But in the end, it was like a sieve, which broke into pieces when someone pressed on it.

Not even a single Turk was stopped.

damn it! !

Li Ji punched hard.

That look seemed to be able to eat people.

but.

Li Ji also knew that the current situation could not be resolved by just being angry.

Yunzhou City has hundreds of thousands of people.

And there is Chang'an behind Yunzhou City!

People along the way.

Even the Jiangnan Road behind Chang'an and other places all rely on this Yunzhou city.

If Yunzhou City were to fall, the people of the world would suffer great disaster.

"hiss……."

Li Ji took a deep breath.
