Chapter 810: Bad News, Li Tao decides

Changan

Since the matter of Gaochang came, although Li Chengqian was broken and sunk in the sand.

But what is interesting is that Chang'an did not interfere with Gaochang from beginning to end when it came to Gaochang's affairs.

The reason is very simple, whether it is Li Shimin or many ministers of civil and military affairs, they all believe that this incident is the death of Li Chengqian.

And it is not because of Gao Chang's own strength, although he has lost ten thousand soldiers, he must be more cautious with other princes.

It won't be as reckless as before, so I still won't think there's any problem with taking Gaochang.

However, this incident does not mean that he has given up caring about Gao Chang, for example, Li Shimin has to know Gao Chang's information every day.

"After the four princes entered Gaochang, they lost their traces."

Especially a recent piece of news, which made this emperor have some trouble sleeping.

You must know that among all the sons, the most stable is Qingque, and I didn't expect that there would be no trace of anyone after entering Gaochang.

If Li Shimin is not nervous, then it is impossible at all, and a son before does not know how to solve it, and life will definitely be difficult.

But now that there is a problem with another son, Li Shimin now has some regrets, and he knew that he would not let Qingque go out of Chang'an.

Now he seems to have forgotten that in the past, when the blue finch did not restrict his freedom, he dared to go anywhere.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't dare to tell Guanyin about this matter, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

Guanyin's state is not very good, if she is sick, then it may cause a series of reactions, Li Shimin does not want to bet on this possibility.

In the past few days, many palace maids are optimistic about Guanyin, and they even have to go there in person every day.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Gaochang!"

Just as Li Shimin was usually one day, when it was almost night, Li Junxian came in a hurry, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Even when Li Shimin saw Li Junxian like this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could something have happened again.

The emperor's face began to stiffen a little.

"What's the matter?!"

Li Shimin's deep voice sounded, but there was some apprehension in his words.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers led by the six princes attacked the Gaochang Royal City and suffered heavy losses."

Li Junxian said with a wry smile on his face, he could already feel the anger of His Majesty next.

"Another idiot!"

Li Shimin's face was a little pale, but fortunately he held back this time, but he still said with a hint of anger.

Now Li Shimin can't help but be a little disappointed in his son, when he was younger than them, he was already able to fight well.

How did it get to these sons, not to mention that they were good at fighting, and they couldn't even defend it.

This time, it was still a dignified attack, but Li Su's words were still too simple, and he actually attacked the city directly.

I really thought that Gao Chang was unprepared, not to mention that it was still under the situation of unequal troops, and Li Su did not treat these soldiers well.

As a result, after more than half of the casualties, the soldiers were quickly defeated, which can be said to be no worse than Li Chengqian.

The two of them can say half a catty to eight taels, but fortunately, after having the first experience, Li Shimin's face was ugly, but he was not distracted.

"Something unknown must have happened to Gaochang!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but judge, although he was not in Gaochang in person, the emperor, who was not low in military attainments, still saw a lot of things.

Of course, these sons are also too stupid, won't they join forces, even if they attack strongly, with enough troops, it is enough to break the Gaochang Royal City.

It's a pity that this emperor still underestimated the thoughts of these sons, and in front of the throne, there is still no family affection between brothers.

Even if Li Tai has no desire to compete, he is also the object of vigilance, which can be said to be bloodier than the competition between himself and his eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also had a wry smile on his face, as if his thoughts were wrong from the beginning.

For a while, even this emperor couldn't help but fall into a kind of confusion, and Li Junxian quietly withdrew from the imperial study.

This commander of the hundred horsemen naturally knew that something had happened in Gaochang, but the words of the hundred horsemen were not in time.

There weren't many hundred horsemen in the previous words, and it was impossible to investigate anything, so I could only get some news.

Presumably, this matter will soon spread throughout Chang'an, and another prince has sunk in Gaochang.

In fact, at the same time that Li Shimin received the news, there was also a person who received the news.

That is Li Tao, who was appointed by Li Shimin as the logistics manager of Gaochang this time, and the British prince frowned even more at this time.

"It's really unusual."

Like the emperor who was far away in Chang'an, this battle-hardened prince also felt that something was wrong.

The first time Li Chengqian ventured into the army, the annihilation of the whole army was due to its own reasons, and this matter is understandable.

Even Li Tao has a lot of anger, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction with this prince.

This is ten thousand soldiers, not some cabbage, if it were him, even if he defeated the entire Gaochang, he would not lose so much.

It's a pity that His Majesty intends to test many princes this time, even if Li Tao has more dissatisfaction, he can only take the lead in letting go.

So he didn't make any moves, but let these princes continue to test.

But now, Li Tao couldn't sit still, because nearly 30,000 soldiers had fallen in the land of Gaochang.

Starting from the Gaozu Taiyuan cavalry, to the present, Datang has experienced many wars.

However, if 30,000 soldiers fall in a short period of time, it is very few, and even if there are so many falls, the goal should be achieved.

But now, not only has the goal not been achieved, but even Gaochang's details are not clear.

"Your Majesty sent these princes to the battlefield, it's just nonsense!"

Li Tao's face was a little ugly, and he muttered softly, with a trace of wordless anger in his words.

After all, as a member of the generals, he cherishes every soldier very much, not to mention that behind these people are families.

"No, this time, no matter what Your Majesty says, all the princes' forces must be withdrawn."

With this incident, this prince finally made up his mind to participate in this battle of Gaochang.

Even if he disobeyed His Majesty's orders, he would bring the remaining soldiers back safely, instead of falling again this time.

If these princes are allowed to lead their troops down, then I don't know what will happen.

For example, there is no news from the four princes now, although this is good news, after all, if the five soldiers are destroyed, there will definitely be no news.

But it also worries Li Tao, because this prince's previous words also have no experience to speak of.
