Chapter 35
Seeing the silence below, Li Shimin's mood gradually fell to the bottom.

By this time, everyone has become dumb, and no one can give any useful advice.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out.

As soon as he saw him coming out, before he finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Li Aiqing, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to talk about the solution, I just wanted to say that according to the recent news from the border, the Turks seem to have known about the food shortage in our Great Tang.

It is just around the corner, and wants to take advantage of this time to attack us!

Just in case, I asked for orders to personally guard the border to prevent the Turks from attacking! "

Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin's heart sank again.

At this moment, Datang is really suffering from internal and external troubles.

"Okay, I'm sure, Li Aiqing, I'll leave Guan Zhen to you, you must guard it for me!"

"The minister must be close to full strength!"

"Pity!"

At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly said something.

After hearing his words, Li Shimin asked.

"Cheng Yushi, what are you saying is a pity?"

"I'm talking about General Li, such a brave general, if the Turks really attack this time, I'm afraid you will try your best and it will be difficult to resist!" Cheng Yu said calmly.

"Cheng Yu, what are you talking about! How dare you speak nonsense in front of me, don't think that I'm also afraid of you!" Li Jing said angrily.

He is a martial artist who likes to go straight. He has never liked Changsun Wuji and the others who play tricks. On the above, he has already shot at this moment.

Changsun Wuji was very happy when he saw this scene, wishing that Li Jing couldn't hold back now and hit Cheng Yu directly to help him vent his anger.

"General Li, don't worry, I'm not questioning your strength, it's just a good saying.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how powerful this soldier is, if there is insufficient food and grass during the battle, do you think there is still a chance of winning? "

Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Li Jing's clenched fist finally loosened a little.

"General Li, you have more experience than me in leading troops to fight. Why don't you tell me how much food and grass are consumed in this war, and even if all the food in our Tang Dynasty's granary is supplied to you, how long will it last?" what time?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said truthfully.

"Your Majesty, even if we give us all the food in the granary, it won't last half a month at most!"

"Half Moon!" Li Shimin couldn't sit still on the dragon chair.

"Half a month, half a month can we defeat the Turks!"

"It seems that the current situation is really serious!"

The ministers were all discussing in low voices at this moment.

"General Li, let me ask again, in half a month, are you confident that you can defeat the Turks?"

Li Jing didn't answer right away this time, but thought for a while, and spoke with great difficulty.

"Does not!"

"General Li is really admired by Cheng! Although this Turk has not been able to defeat us in the past, it is not easy to deal with. Even if we have a brave general like General Li, we cannot guarantee that we will solve the problem before the food and grass are exhausted. took them.

Even if it is possible, then may I ask, after this battle is over, will all our people stop eating or drinking?
In the end, he may have escaped war and invasion, but he could not escape the end of starvation! "

With these words, everyone present was in a cold sweat.

To be honest, none of them had thought of such a deep-seated problem before, and it was only when Cheng Yu said this that they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, as Li Shimin's advisers, they didn't think of these consequences, they are really ashamed.

"Then according to what you said, we have no way out!" Li Jing asked in a rough voice.

"Yes, everyone, you have heard what Cheng Yushi said, don't hide it now, and speak out what you think!" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we should send envoys to the Turks to make peace with them. At this time, it is not a bad idea to lose some land to preserve the Tang Dynasty!" The person who said this was Li Xiaogong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Hearing his words, Cheng Yu said before Li Shimin had time to speak.

"Master Li, the battle has not yet started, and the Turks are just a few signs. We are so anxious at this time that we are afraid that the envoys will go, aren't we telling people that our treasury is empty now, and we are afraid of war.

Besides, how could it be so easy to cede the land of my Great Tang! "

【Ding!The host is right, Li Xiaogong, points +10! 】

After Li Xiaogong heard this, he was a little ashamed, knowing that he had made a stupid idea, and quietly backed away.

And Li Shimin's face at the moment is also very ugly. Not long after he sat on the throne, he will let himself bow his head to the Turks!
Wouldn't that be slapping him in the face? It was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

This Li Xiaogong had some bad ideas.

At this time, Changsun Wuji came out and said.

"In Yichen's opinion, why don't we build a towering city wall on the border, so that we can defend against the Turks' attacks!"

"My lord, do you think our current situation is suitable for such a huge project?

Do you know how much money and manpower are needed to build such a city wall?
I believe it is no less than sending troops to fight!
I wonder if you are too old to be fooled, and you came up with such a foolish trick. If outsiders hear it, you will laugh your ass off! "

【Ding!The host said something to Changsun Wuji, which made him very embarrassed, +20 points! 】

"You!" Changsun Wuji was dizzy with anger at his last words.

"Okay, Cheng Yushi, other people's ideas are that this is not good, that is not good, but you can say something that is good, we have seen it!" Changsun Wuji countered.

He thought to himself, no matter how powerful you are, you can't think of any good solution at this time, but I want to see how much better the solution you come up with than mine!

"Your Majesty, since the eldest grandson asked me for advice, let me tell you what I think!" Cheng Yu said.

Changsun Wuji: Pooh, I'll ask you for advice, you really know how to put gold on your face!I see what you can do if you can't say anything for a while!
"Your Majesty, I believe that if we want to solve this matter, we can only start from the root cause, which is to solve the food shortage!"

"Haha, that's nonsense. Who doesn't know this is the root cause, but how to solve it and create food out of thin air?"
