Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Back to Chang'an City.

Li Shimin entered the imperial study, and Fang Xuanling sat down three times.

"Go and call Duke Wei, Duke Yi, Duke E, Duke Ying, Cheng Mangfu, and Xue Rengui."

Li Shimin ordered.

Eunuch Gao took the order to go out to announce the decree.

Wei Zheng laughed secretly: Everyone else called him title or word, but Cheng Yaojin called Cheng Mangfu.

After a while, people arrived one after another.

Li Shimin asked everyone to sit down.

"I announce good news. Just now that boy Su Yu agreed to conquer the Turks."

Li Shimin said proudly.

The crowd was amazed.

Su Yu actually agreed?
It's also incredible.

Only Cheng Yaojin felt that this matter was within his expectation.

"I knew he would go."

Cheng Yaojin muttered something, but Li Shimin heard it.

"You know? How do you know?"

Li Shimin asked.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, Su Yu has a strong desire for revenge."

"Anyone who provokes him will die in the end."

Fang Xuanling listened, and guessed in his mind: Does the death of Zhao Guogong's eldest son Wuji have anything to do with Su Yu?
At the beginning, Changsun Wuji also offended Su Yu, and later died at the hands of Turkic people inexplicably.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's right, the Turkic people committed suicide and provoked Su Yu twice, they deserve it."

After laughing, Li Shimin sat down.

"Let's get down to business and discuss how to enter the army."

"The Western Turks are different from the Eastern Turks. The Western Regions are full of deserts. We have to march thousands of miles to attack, so we need to calmly plan."

"Tell me what you think."

Li Shimin spoke.

After everyone discussed for a while, Li Jing came out and said, "Your Majesty, when I read Master Xuanzang's travel notes last time, I said it once."

"The Western Regions are far away. If too many troops are sent, the pressure on the transportation of military resources will be great."

"But if the troops are not enough, I'm afraid they won't be able to destroy them all."

"So, the ministers thought that this time, there will be 5 troops from the Shenji Battalion, 2 infantry, 2 crossbowmen, and 1 cavalry, for a total of 10 troops."

"Adding the 2 troops of the Gaochang Protectorate, I thought it was enough."

"As for the military resources, they will be transported from Chang'an City to Gaochang."

The so-called soldiers and horses do not move the food and grass first.

Gaochang Dufu has hoarded a lot of food.

Li Shimin had long intended to destroy the Western Turks, so he hoarded food and grass in Gaochang in advance.

The official warehouses in Chang'an and Luoyang are cleaned out every year, and the warehouses are all full.

Today is different from the past. When he attacked the East Turkic Jieli Khan last time, Li Shimin was still worrying about food and grass.

In the end, they borrowed a lot of food from Su Yu to cope.

This time he is a local tyrant, and he has as much food as he wants.

The grain and grass in the land of Liaodong are transported westward, which is very sufficient.

Li Shimin nodded, agreeing with Li Jing's opinion.

"What about you? What do you think?"

Li Shimin asked.

Everyone echoed: "The ministers and others agree."

Li Shimin asked Xue Rengui specifically: "General Xue, what do you think?"

The reason why Li Shimin asked Xue Rengui specifically was because Su Yu once said that Xue Rengui was able to make great achievements during the conquest of the Western Regions.

Xue Rengui replied: "Your Majesty, what Li Weigong said is very good, and my humble minister seconded it."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, Li Weigong is ready for the army and horses to stand by."

"As for the departure time"

When it comes to the specific time to dispatch troops, Li Shimin is in a dilemma.

Although Su Yu agreed to go, it was uncertain when he would go.

When this salted fish can turn over on a whim depends on luck.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe not turning over again.

"Wei Chen just wait."

Li Jing laughed.

He had been the security captain in Sujiazhuang, so he knew Su Yu's character.

Li Shimin smiled, nodded and said, "I will tell you when it's time to leave."

Li Jing and his group left the imperial study, each preparing to go.

Li Jing returned to Beidaying to rectify Shenji Camp.

At the same time, the gunpowder was transported to Gaochang one after another, especially the heavy cannon, so it was necessary to go first.

Li Shimin's plan has been made, he left the imperial study and walked to the Lizheng Hall.

Seeing Li Shimin coming in, the Queen asked, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today. What's the happy event?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That boy Su Yu agreed to conquer the Western Regions."

When the queen heard that Su Yu had actually agreed to go to the Western Regions, she asked in surprise, "How did the emperor persuade him?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Where is it that I persuaded him, you don't know yet, who can fight with this kid's mouth."

"It was he who held his own grudge, and wanted to seek revenge from the Western Turks."

Mo Yu came over to pour tea for Li Shimin.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin continued: "To be honest, I want to thank the Western Turks for their own death."

"If the Western Turks hadn't come to Chang'an City twice to provoke, especially the Turkic wizard who blocked Su Yu's way home last time, I'm afraid Su Yu would be too lazy to attack the Western Turks."

"As the saying goes, you can't live by doing your own crimes, and you deserve the bad luck of the Western Turks."

Seeing Li Shimin's complacent look, the Queen smiled and said, "In all accounts, the Western Turks themselves helped the Emperor."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's right."

The Queen asked, "Then when will we leave?"

Li Shimin put down the teacup, shook his head and said, "I don't know, we have to wait for news from this kid, and it's time for him to set off if he is willing to go."

The queen thought about it too, and the last thing she looked at was Su Yu's time.

Sujiazhuang.

After Li Shimin left, Chang Le came over and opened the door, and opened the windows of the conservatory for ventilation.

"Husband, you yourself said that smoking is harmful to your health, why do you still smoke?"

Chang Le said.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Because smoking can inspire people."

Chang Le smelled the smell of cigarettes on Su Yu's body, and said, "Smoking less in the future."

Su Yu threw away his cigarettes. He has no cravings for cigarettes. He smokes whenever he wants, and he doesn't if he doesn't want to.

Changle asked the servants to come in and clean up.

"Just now I saw Father was very happy, what did you tell him?"

Chang Le asked.

Su Yu smiled and said, "I promised to destroy the Western Turks for him, it's that simple."

Chang Le asked in surprise, "You want to go out?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Why, I'm not willing."

Changle is really reluctant, and it will be many years after going out.

It takes a short time to go to Yizhou City, and it usually takes several years to come back.

"How long will you be going this time?"

Chang Le asked.

Su Yu said: "In two or three years, the Turks will be destroyed first, but then we will encounter the Black-clothed Dashi. Now the Black-clothed Dashi is very powerful in Central Asia."

"We attack and destroy the Western Turks, they will definitely send troops to intervene, and there will be a battle then."

"In this battle, we must completely convince them to avoid harassing the Western Regions in the future."

After conquering the Western Regions, Su Yu didn't want to go out to fight anymore.

The most powerful force in the west right now is the Black Clothes Dashi. As long as they stand up in a single battle, they will be able to ensure the complete peace of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.

In the future, only the Tang army will fight against others, and no foreign enemy will dare to invade.

Chang Le nodded and said: "Be careful when you go out, remember to take care of the father, he is not young."

"Father is sometimes like an old child, don't always bully him."

Su Yu smiled and said: "He is the king of a country, how can I bully him."

Chang Le hugged Su Yu coquettishly, and said, "Oh, promise me."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Changle is now happy.

"I'm going out soon, follow me to rest."

Chang Le dragged Su Yu to the room.
