The Turks raided Suzhou and Ganzhou, and the government and the opposition were furious, from the emperor to the courtiers, even Kong Yingda and others, who were most opposed to conquest on weekdays, also issued a call for conquest of the Turks at this moment.

The third year of Zhenguan, November 23.

Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, the Turks have no courtesy, and the ministers think they should be killed!" Kong Yingda jumped out and shouted indignantly.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic envoys lost their tributes, and they were rude first, but Your Majesty remembered the righteousness of the alliance and never surrendered to the crime, and now he is committing the Tang Dynasty, this is really a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard and conquer the Turks for His Majesty!" One of the men jumped out and shouted.

Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but pout, you are a Wenchen to be a woolen pioneer?!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance!" A man who seemed to be standing in the queue came out of the queue of military ministers, and his voice was strong and powerful, full of energy: "Weichen thinks that the Turkic soldiers are the first to commit the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty should be conquered. And the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks benefited from six things: Jieli Khan was extravagant and brutal, killed loyal and good, and was close to traitors, which led to the centrifugation of the Turkic nobles within him, and other tribes were also bullied and resented for a long time; Xue Yantuo and other tribes have rebelled from the Turks, resulting in a great reduction in the strength of the Turks, these tribes have been oppressed by the Turks for many years, at this time, if the Tang Dynasty conquers the Turks, it will cater to the Tang Dynasty, take the opportunity to attack the Turks, so that the Turks are attacked by the enemy, and the second is also; Tuli, Tuo, and Desire Valley have all offended Jieli, causing Jieli to retaliate and exclude, and there is no self-shame, and there is always a danger of being removed by Jieli, in order to protect themselves, they can only take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and the third is also; The northern part of the country experiences frost and drought. Food is scarce. And Jieli not only did not provide relief. On the contrary, it expropriated and expropriated, making the people's grievances boiling, and the people centrifuged, and this is the fourth; Jieli alienated the clansmen and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities to foreign tribes, while the Hu people were capricious, and once the Tang army arrived, there would inevitably be internal chaos. This is also the fifth; At the end of the Sui Dynasty in the early years, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and countless Han people went to the north to avoid the chaos, and now there are a lot of people, and they are often wantonly plundered and even killed by the Turks. This is also the sixth. According to this six benefits, Weichen thought that now was the time for the Tang Dynasty to conquer the Turks. Moreover, Datang will win this battle. ”

"The Duke of Dingyuan County is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" After this person finished speaking, he saw Li Tao come out of the column and said.

"The minister also seconded it!" Fang Xuanling looked at the two of them, bowed down, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, the Duke of Dingyuan County has made this statement to exhaust the advantages of the Tang Dynasty and the disadvantages of the Turks, so the minister also seconded it." Du Ruhui also came out and said.

"The old minister seconded the proposal." At this time, Li Jing finally walked out and said his first words of the day.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at it and also walked out: "Your Majesty, the minister also seconded it!" ”

Seeing that a number of bigwigs in the DPRK and China came forward to second, other civil and military officials also bowed down to second.

Li Shimin was on the throne, a pair of eagle eyes slowly swept over, and seeing that all the civil and military officials seconded the proposal, he spoke in a deep voice and said: "The words of Hongshen are extremely thorough. My Tang Dynasty has the right time, place and people, but none of the Turks, which is a good opportunity to conquer the Turks. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks is not an unrighteous division, let alone an unjust war, this is the Turkic rudeness first, and it violates our borders, and the Tang Dynasty division is famous......"

Li Shimin was talking in a deep voice above, and Xia Hongsheng quietly bumped into Duan Zan beside him below, and asked secretly: "Brother Duan, who is this Hongshen?" ”

Duan Zan looked left and right, lowered his voice and replied, "It's the Duke of Dingyuan County, the acting governor of the prefecture, Zhang Gongjin and General Zhang." ”

"It turned out to be him......" Xia Hongsheng nodded.

Above, Li Shimin has already finished speaking, and at this moment, the generals have jumped out to ask for orders to fight, and they want to be pioneers.

I saw Li Shimin raise his hand and press it down gently, and suddenly the sound in the Taiji Hall immediately stopped, and the needle fell and could be heard.

"The Turkic threat to the Central Plains has been around for a long time. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the Turks took the opportunity to repeatedly invade the states in the south, plundering countless times. The founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang, I Nian and the people have just endured the chaos of the world, suffered from the war, and cannot bear to make the people enter the wolf smoke again, but I hope that the people of the world will recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, they could only swallow their anger and form an alliance with the Turks. However, you all know how this alliance came about! Li Shimin suddenly raised his voice too high, and said angrily: "When the Emperor Taishang was located in I, Luo Yi and others rebelled, and the Turks took the opportunity to go south, and the cavalry of the ancient tribe of Baye and Tongluo besieged Wucheng, and contained the army of Cheng Qing, Chai Qing and Qu Tutong, Jieli cooperated with his brother Tuli Khan and Tiele leader Qibi He Li led an army of 200,000 to Chang'an City, occupied the martial arts city not far from Chang'an, and hit the city of Chang'an, and hit our doorstep!" At that time, the situation was critical, and I took the risk of detaining the stubborn and unthinkable people who came to Chang'an to threaten me and you, and then personally led Wuji, Gao Lao, Fang Qing, Hou Qing, Duan Qing and Dugu Yanyun to ride to the south bank of the Weishui Temporary Bridge, and scolded ****** for treachery across the river. Fortunately, Jingde defeated the Turkic left flank and captured the Turkic general Ashina Wumersi, and Jieli made an alliance with me on the Weishui Bridge, and then retreated. Later, I let go of my attachment and lost my thinking power, but this matter has never been put down in my heart! Turks have always been the henchmen of Datang! Now, the Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the civil and military generals are unparalleled in the world. ”

Li Shimin's words were very inflammatory, and in the end, he almost shouted out. The civil and military officials in the Taiji Hall even remembered the previous humiliation, filled with righteous indignation, bowed in unison, and shouted: "Your Majesty please send troops to crusade against the Turks and capture Jieli alive!" ”

"Good!" Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair and stood up suddenly: "Wang De, summoned!" ”

"Yes!" Wang De shouted, shook an extra piece of yellow silk in his hand, and read aloud: "The edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Order the military department Shangshu and the acting prince Li Jing to be the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and the public lieutenant Chi Jingde of the Hubei State and Su Dingfang, the commander of Kuangdao Mansion, are the deputy generals, leading the Chinese army to advance to Yunzhong and Mayi; Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou and the British Gong, was the general of the Tongmo Road march, and the acting governor of the prefecture, Zhang Gongjin, the prince of Dingyuan County, and Gao Yongsheng, the governor of Minzhou, were the deputy generals, and the main force was led by the east road to directly attack the hinterland of ******; Huazhou Thorn Shi and Huo Guogong Chai Shao were the chief of the Jinhe Road march, and Qin Shubao, the Duke of Hu Guo, was the deputy general, advancing along the Yellow River on the West Road, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shiyun from afar, covering the left flank; Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the king of Rencheng County, was the head of the Datong Dao march, and Zhang Baoxiang, the assassin of Ganzhou, was the deputy general, advancing from Lingzhou to the northwest to intercept the Turkic westward escape; Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was the chief of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Zhijie, the official of Lu Guo, was the deputy commander, and led the army into Yanyun to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward; Xue Wanche, the governor of Lingzhou and the concubine, was the commander of the Changwudao march, and the general Zuo Xiaowei and Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Fanguo, were the deputy commanders, taking advantage of the northeast to attack the Turkic rear and monitor and contain the Turkic Khan. This was all subject to Li Jingjiedu, and he counterattacked the Turks in six ways. In addition, Li Daliang, a man from Wuyang County, guarded Liangzhou and guarded the northwest, and Liu Hongji, the prince of the country, guarded Yizhou, Hebei. To guard against the Northeast, the Marquis of Chen Guo was appointed as the secretary of the military department and stayed in Chang'an! In addition, Xia Hong, the head of the Tang Royal Military Academy, was promoted and reinstated, and led the cadets of the military academy to advance with the Chinese army! ”

As soon as this call came out, the main force in the Tang army and the famous generals in the army who could fight almost collapsed, and all the ministers stepped forward to receive the order.

The battle of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty to become the Oriental Dragon and Li Shimin to become the Heavenly Khan began here! (To be continued.) )
