Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

In the next few days, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling secretly transported food to the front.

At the same time, Li Shimin was intensively deploying his military in the palace.

The time for the start of the war was getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in Chang'an City was extremely tense.

All civil and military ministers knew that a decisive battle with the Turks was about to take place.

at this time,

Li Jing became Minister of the Ministry of War, and Du Ruhui became Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

North Korea and China have made major personnel adjustments.

Li Shimin deployed exactly according to the route Su Yu said.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knew that this was Su Yu's plan, so they naturally agreed.

But other ministers in the DPRK and China are not the same, thinking that Li Shimin's arrangement is unreasonable.

He even opposed war with the Turks, thinking that he should learn from the Han Emperor and make peace.

Li Shimin resisted all opinions and resolutely implemented Su Yu's strategy.

In the third year of Zhenguan, in November, Taiji Hall, Imperial Study Room.

Li Shimin sat in the middle with a heavy face, and the ministers below sat on chairs.

Because the waiting time was too long, I couldn't just stand there.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

There are also Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Li Daozong, Chai Shao, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanshu.

Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Cui You.
The important officials of the aristocratic families in the court are all there.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was tense.

They are waiting for news.

Li Shimin put his hands on the desk, seemingly calm, but actually very nervous inside.

Eunuch Gao brewed a cup of tea, but Li Shimin waved his hands away.

It's snowing outside, and this year's snow came very early.

Cui You glanced at Li Shimin from time to time and sneered secretly.

Xi law.
There was a neighing sound of war horses outside the door.

Li Shimin stood up and looked at the door of the imperial study.

boom!
The door was knocked open, and an armored soldier came in and said, "Report! Longyou Dao battle report!"

"quick!"

Li Shimin shouted.

Du Ruhui took the letter and handed it to Li Shimin.

After tearing open the envelope a few times, Li Shimin unfolded the envelope.
Sitting down heavily and leaning back on the chair, Li Shimin's expression was dull.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's heart skipped a beat, is it wrong?

Cui You sneered and said, "I just said that it is not wise to start a war with the Turks. Besides, the Turks are cunning. How could we predict their whereabouts thousands of miles away? It's ridiculous."

The other ministers buzzed and said that war should not start.

Cheng Yaojin was anxious and scolded: "Shut up, I, we are fighting on the front line, so you know how to fart behind your back."

Cui You sneered and said: "Cheng Zhijie, what you said is interesting. You started a war indiscriminately and dragged the people of the Tang Dynasty into the flames of war. Now we are wrong."

"That's right, it's all good deeds done by you generals."

"I said earlier that we shouldn't go to war with the Turks."

"Make love, make love."

The ministers talked a lot.

Li Shimin looked at this group of aristocratic families with sharp eyes.

"Suzhou and Ganzhou have come to report that the Eastern Turkic generals Yarkin and Ashnadur led the army to harass Hexi."

"Zhang Shigui, the defender of Suzhou, and Zhang Bao, the defender of Ganzhou, commanded each other to form horns. They fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and used the city to block the Turkic cavalry. In the end, the Turks returned without success."

Li Shimin slapped the battle report on the table.

The chaotic imperial study room was completely silent.

Guess it right?
The emperor guessed right?
Not only did he guess the direction the Turks were going to attack, but he even guessed who Xieli would send to attack?

This.
Cheng Yaojin glared at Cui You and snorted coldly: "Did you see, the emperor expects the enemy to be thousands of miles away, old man!"

The scolding made Cui You's beard stand on end.

"I, I don't know you in general."

Cui You was afraid that Cheng Yaojin would be violent, so he didn't dare to resist.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui smiled at each other, only they and Li Shimin knew what happened.

Su Yu, Su Yu, are you a man or a god?

Li Shimin stood up and shouted loudly: "Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Li Daozong, Chai Shao, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanshu, the six of you stay, and the others step down!"

The other ministers didn't want to leave. They knew that Li Shimin was planning an offensive strategy and wanted to hear about it.

Seeing that they didn't want to leave, Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Don't you want to leave? If you don't want to go, go to the front line to fight. If you can't walk by yourself, let your son go to the battlefield."

These people had no choice but to go out.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui paid two obeisances, they already knew the attack route, so it doesn't matter if they don't listen.

The Zhongshuling and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials took the lead to go out, and the others naturally had nothing to say.

Outside, the wind and snow were exceptionally heavy, and the temperature dropped to unbearable levels.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were not cold at all, they were wearing cotton padded clothes.

"You two adults, aren't you cold in wearing so little?"

Cui You asked.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Lord Cui, we have cotton clothes to wear, so it's not cold."

"Cotton coat, what cotton coat?"

Cui You asked.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "It's the battle clothes that the Empress made for the army."

Cui You laughed sneeringly: "Oh, that, what's so good about sending something worn by a dead ghost."

Du Ruhui wanted to slap him in the face, the soldiers shed blood and died, and the aristocratic family said they were ghosts.

"Master Cui, you are dressed like zongzi, not as warm as us."

Fang Xuanling said disdainfully.

Cui You made fun of himself.

After leaving the room, Secretary Supervisor Yu Shinan asked Qin Qiong: "Duke Yi, is the emperor too accurate in predicting the enemy this time? You even know who Jieli will send to attack Hexi?"

Although Li Shimin fought in the South and the North, he has gone through countless wars.

But it has never been so monstrous as it has been recently.

Luo Yi rebelled, and he calculated that Luo Yi would die halfway.

This time Turkic has not set off yet, he already knows where he will attack.

The strangest thing is that all the generals leading the troops guessed right.

"Master Yu, do you think the emperor shouldn't do this?"

Qin Qiong laughed.

Yu Shinan's face changed, and he said hastily: "That's not true, the Holy Spirit's capital is supposed to be like this."

"Skinny Yu, don't ask. If the emperor wants you to know, you have to remember. If the emperor doesn't want you to know, don't ask."

Cheng Yaojin laughed.

Yu Shinan was thin, so Cheng Yaojin said so.

Yu Shinan was taken aback: I heard that Cheng Yaojin was pretending to be stupid, it is true.

"Taught."

Yu Shinan left.

In the imperial study,

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood at the bottom.

Li Shimin took out a secret letter from his sleeve.

"Li Yaoshi, you have to act strictly according to my will. It must be the 23rd and march in six ways. You can't be one day earlier, and you can't be one day later. There are six ways, neither more nor less. Do you understand? "

Li Shimin said very solemnly.

"The last general takes orders."

Li Shimin urged again: "Remember, everything should be done according to what is said in the letter, and there must be no mistakes."

"The general will remember."

Li Jing bowed.

"Okay, at the end of February next year, I will be waiting for your good news at the Tai Chi Hall."

Li Shimin patted Li Jing on the shoulder.

"Also, remember to tell Zhang Baoxiang to capture Jieli alive. I want to live, not die."

Li Jing's forehead was sweating.

"The general will remember."

"Okay, next year when the flowers bloom and the general triumphantly returns. Let's go."

Li Shimin urged again and again.

The six of Li Jing withdrew from the imperial study.
