Chapter 265

Chang'an City, Yihong Courtyard!
That night, Hou Shi'an took a break in the Yihong Courtyard!
Some descendants of aristocratic families who knew Hou Shian stayed away from him one after another!

This made Hou Shian's hatred for Yuchihuan rise to the extreme!
Even the singers of Yihongyuan kept Hou Shi'an at a respectful distance, and Hou Shi'an suddenly became an unpopular street rat!

Behind the Yihong Courtyard was the backing of a powerful family, so Hou Shi'an did not dare to fight in the Yihong Courtyard now, so he had to return home in defeat.

On the way home, Hou Shi'an gritted his teeth and said: "Father, you don't dare to assassinate Yuchi Huan. I go and contact Qi Shuai!"

In the next few days, Hou Shian had frequent contact with Qi Shuai, and they finally determined the safest plan to assassinate Yuchi Huan.

Qi Shuai was an old acquaintance with the Turkic prince Ashinatul, so he contacted the Turkic prince to deal with Yuchi Huan!

Hou Shi'an is an upstart in martial arts, and he knows the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty like the palm of his hand, so he will provide the military information of the Tang Dynasty to the Turks!
So a war against the Tang Dynasty East Road is about to come!
……

Yinshan Beili, Turkic King Tent!
Seven days later, Qi Shuai's letter was sent to the king's tent of the Turkic prince Ashinatur!
When Ashnatur learned that Hou Fu had failed again in assassinating Yuchihuan, he said angrily, "Why is this Yuchihuan so hard-nosed?"

Next, Ashinatour began to observe the information about the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty sent by Hou Shi'an!

The more he watched, the more frightened he became!

"The Tang army actually gathered at the Great Wall? Is this trying to take the opportunity to go out and attack us Turks?"

Ashnatur was furious: "Uncle Tuli actually contacted the messenger of Tang Dynasty privately. Is he trying to seize the throne of Father Emperor Khan?"

"Come on, send this information to Father Huang immediately!"

Ashinatul did not dare to neglect, and immediately handed over the information sent by Hou Shi'an to his Turkic scouts and sent it to Jieli Khan!

Of course, Ashnatur was not idle after sending the letter, he then ordered the tribes under his command to gather a large army and prepare to attack the Hedong Pass!
Ashnatur didn't care about whether he could successfully enter the Tang Dynasty, he just wanted revenge on Yuchihuan.

Jieli Khan didn't dare to neglect the letter from Ashnatur, and immediately ordered his army to stand ready to prevent the Tang army from attacking!

At the same time, Jieli Khan also ordered the little Khan Tuli to lead his troops to besiege Datang Shuofang City!

Shuofang is located in the Hexi Corridor, which used to be the territory of Liang Shidu, a rebel general at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

However, the first year of Zhenguan has been recovered by Tang Jun!
Tuli Khan did not dare to disobey Jieli Khan's order, so he had to lead his [-] cavalry to besiege Shuofang City!

The Tang army stationed in Shuofang City did not dare to go out to join the battle, so they had to ask Datang for help.

Ashinatur, who was stationed at Beili in Yinshan Mountain, also took the opportunity to lead his [-] elite cavalry to raid the Shuozhou border of the Tang Dynasty!
Datang needs to fight on two fronts this time, and the military situation is critical!
When Li Er received the urgent report from the frontier army, Long Yan was furious and said, "It is said that Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling went to the Palace of Ganlu to discuss the war!"

In a short while, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, Yu Chigong and others, the princes and princes of the Tang Dynasty, all gathered in the Ganlu Hall.

Li Er distributed the border emergency report to everyone to read it, and then said: "My dear friends, what do you think the Turkic troops want to do this time by sending troops to knock down the border?"

Changsun Wuji came out and said: "Your Majesty, last winter there was heavy snowfall in the Turkic region, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep died of illness. They were incapable of invading the Tang Dynasty. I believe that Jieli Khan is a fake attack!"

Fang Xuanling echoed: "Your Majesty, we now have many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. If the Turks start a war with the Tang Dynasty at this time, they will kill themselves!"

Li Jing disagreed: "Your Majesty, Shuofang has just changed defenses. The defenders are not familiar with the Hexi Corridor. Jieli Khan suddenly sent Tuli Khan to besiege Shuofang. The purpose must be to capture Shuofang City!"

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Shuofang City's defenders have always kept their defenses in secret. How did Jieli Khan know? We don't have Turkic spies here, do we?"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Qin Qiong immediately glared at Cheng Yaojin. They are Li Er's loyal subjects, how could they betray their military intelligence to the Turks?
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was outraged by everyone, Li Er immediately smoothed things over and said, "Cheng Zhijie just suspects, you don't need to get angry, I believe that you are loyal to Datang!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong and the others were secretly relieved to be affirmed by Li Er.

The emperor is suspicious, once these courtiers are suspected by Li Er, will there be a way out in the future?
Cheng Yaojin also knew that he had offended someone, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Li Er stood up and asked: "I want to send a general to rescue Shuofang City, who is willing to be the commander of Shuofang's march?"

Yu Chigong came out and said: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead an army to rescue Shuofang City!"

Li Er shook his head and said: "Yuchi Jingde, your little Yuchi is no longer in Chang'an City, just stay here!"

"The end will follow the order!"

Yu Chigong thought about it, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Er's will!
According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when a general leads a large army to fight, he must leave his family members as hostages in Chang'an City!
Now that Yuchihuan has served as the governor of Zhongzhou, Yuchigong definitely has no chance to lead troops to fight.

Yu Chigong thought about it, but was still afraid for a while!
Next, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao, and Li Jing all recommended themselves, hoping to have the opportunity to lead the Turkic army!

These generals have their own strengths, and Li Eryi didn't know who to choose for the Turks!
"Your Majesty, now that the Turkic people are struggling to survive, it is a good time for us to annihilate the Turkic people. Why not go all out and send 20 troops to encircle the Turkic people!"

Although Wei Zheng is not a general, but he is a royal doctor, so he has the right to give advice!
According to Wei Zheng's advice, Datang should take the opportunity to annihilate the Turks this time!
Fang Xuanling echoed: "Your Majesty, the Turks are currently in internal and external troubles, and people are panicking. It is a good time to annihilate the Turks!"

Li Er was not sure about the decree for a while. He pointed at Li Jing and said: "Ai Qing, how many troops do you think I should send to attack the Turks?"

Li Jing came out and said: "Your Majesty, many Turkic tribes have defected to the Tang Dynasty recently, Jieli Khan is unpopular, and will eventually support Wei Zheng's advice!"

After listening to veteran Li Jing's suggestion, Li Er immediately made a decision, saying: "I pass on my will, appoint Li Jing as the commander of the Guannei Road army, and lead the Guannei Road and Hexi troops to attack the king's tent of Jieli Khan!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Li Jing was surprised and delighted, he never expected that Li Erhui would entrust him with the great achievement of annihilating the Turks.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Duan Zhixuan had bright eyes, and they also wanted the opportunity to go to the Turks.

Li Er went on to say: "I appointed Chai Shao as the general commander of the Hedong Road Army, and led the troops from the Hedong Road and Hebei Road to attack the Turks!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Chai Shao is considered to be representing Tang's relatives in the Turkic war this time.

Next, Li Er continued to order the Ministry of Households to allocate grain and grass to the Hexi Corridor and Hedong Road to prepare for the army's expedition!
