Chapter 207: The Turks' Small Moves

It has been three months since the issuance of Zhang Nan's newspaper, and the time has come to November, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

And the newspaper has also been on the right track under the leadership of Zhang Nan, Ma Zhou, Zhou Xing and Wang Ke in the newspaper have also grown very fast in three months, and now the newspaper does not need Zhang Nan to interfere too much. Zhang Nan quietly waited for the Tang Dynasty to fight with the Turks, so that he could have something to do, and when the Turks were captured in large numbers from the grassland, Zhang Nan could better start the next step.

And Li Chengqian didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into Li Er, and actually asked Li Er to agree to him studying in the military academy, which made Zhang Nan very strange, but Li Chengqian was not idle in the military academy, because when he entered the military academy, the recruit training of the cadets was almost over, and Li Chengqian couldn't delay the daytime training during the day, so Cheng Huaimo and they could only train Li Chengqian at night.

Just after Zhang Nan had begun to get used to the daily dull and boring morning court, there were some accidents in today's court.

Just when Zhang Nan was groggy and listened to the eldest grandson Wuji report to Li Er about the problems of meeting the officials in the recent period, the door of the Taiji Hall was pushed open, and the cold wind suddenly poured into the Taiji Hall with a warm stove, so cold that Zhang Nan shrunk his neck, Zhang Nan turned his head to look, the person actually entered the Taiji Hall with armor, which made Zhang Nan a little curious.

The man first finished saluting Li Er, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Turkic generals Yarkin and Ashinadur led the army to disturb the west of the river. Zhang Shigui, the defender of Suzhou, and Zhang Bao, the defender of Ganzhou, united their troops with each other to form a corner, fortified the wall, used the city to block the Turkic cavalry, and asked the emperor to send troops to support and crusade against the Turks. ”

When Li Er heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Bastard, did he bully my Datang without a general, and he dared to invade my Datang territory like this." Li Er said with a glare.

Cheng Yanjin and other generals heard that the Turks had actually invaded the Tang Dynasty, and they all jumped out as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Your Majesty, the minister asks to lead the troops to the battle, give Yarkin and Ashinadur a little color, since they are coming, the minister has the ability to make them unable to leave." Cheng Yanjin stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister asks to lead the troops to the battle, if the emperor sends the ministers to fight, the minister will bring the heads of the two thieves back to see the emperor." Wei Chigong also stood up and said.

Then Hou Junji also stood up, and what he said was much the same, but Li Jing, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, did not express his position, but just stood aside and pretended to be quails, and now his merits are high enough, unless Li Er named him, Li Jing would not take the initiative to jump out and lead the troops to the battle.

And Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is also the same as Li Jing, standing aside and not speaking.

Zhang Nan stood aside and listened, Zhang Nan already knew that the Turks were coming to invade the Tang Dynasty now, this was just that the Turks were a little afraid that the Tang Dynasty would fight them in winter, so they ran to the border of the Tang Dynasty to make trouble, so that Li Er knew that the Turks still had the strength to fight. And this time the Turks invaded Suzhou and Ganzhou, and it was just a pretense, not the idea of attacking the city and plundering the land at all.

Due to natural disasters such as years of conquest and frost and drought, the Turks have made the people tired and thin, and many sheep and horses have frozen to death and starved to death. Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Bayegu, and Tongluo also took the opportunity to rebel en masse, and jointly promoted the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, as the Khan of Zhenzhu, and accepted Li Er's canonization; The Eastern Turkic Khan Tuli Khan, who had been suppressed and excluded by the Jieli Khan for a long time, also secretly contacted Tang and expressed his willingness to return.

Although Li Er didn't tell Zhang Nan about the news of the attachment, Zhang Nan also knew it.

Li Er looked at the hundred officials below, and directly skipped the general who invited him to fight, and his eyes were directly on Zhang Nan, who shrunk his neck to keep warm, when Li Er decided to send troops in the spring, it was Zhang Nan who stopped him from sending troops, and now that the Turks have invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, why is this Zhang Nan still indifferent.

"Qingquan, what do you think, tell me." Li Er sat on the dragon chair and asked.

As soon as Zhang Nan heard Li Er's name, he had to stand up and arch his hand: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister has no idea." ”

Li Eryi heard Zhang Nan's appearance and scolded with a smile: "Bastard, what are you talking about, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can you have no thoughts about this matter?" ”

"This, if you have to say it to the emperor, the minister thinks that it is better to garrison troops now, and the current Turks are just babbling, Suzhou and Ganzhou will not have a problem, they will go back after shouting outside the city." Zhang Nan arched his hand.

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Li Er still didn't seem to have a long memory, and continued to ask Zhang Nandao.

Zhang Nan also looked embarrassed, he couldn't say that he had already seen it in the system.

Seeing Zhang Nan's appearance, Li Er already knew Zhang Nan's next remarks, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to explain it to me, you can tell me when it's best to send troops." ”

Zhang Nan continued to say: "Back to the emperor's words, it is very simple, when the first snow falls in Chang'an City, it is a good time for us to send troops, I believe that the emperor has already arranged the troops and generals, so the minister will not say much, this year the Turkic grassland will have a snow disaster, and a large number of Turkic cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death, this is the best time for us to send troops." ”

"You Aiqing have heard it, so don't worry, this Turk, it won't be a few days, everyone should act according to the original arrangement." Li Er smiled and looked at his excited generals one by one and said.

In fact, the time is very close, in the real history, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of the acting state, wrote to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks. On the pretext of the Turkic attack on Hexi, Tang Taizong ordered his troops to send troops in six ways to exterminate the Eastern Turks on the 23rd. And after Zhang Nan came, the general historical trend will not change too much, the Turkic first month is extinguished, that is, the first month is extinguished, but it is much easier than in history.

And now it is just over a month away from the fourth year, and the reason for sending troops and the strength of the troops have already been arranged, and now Li Er is quietly waiting for the first heavy snow to fall in Chang'an City.
