Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"From the current point of view, with the strength of our Great Tang army, the strength of the Youzhou army is enough to keep the Western Turks out of Yinshan Mountain."

"But one of the toughest pieces of the puzzle right now is that it's late summer and early fall."

"Because of years of fighting, the domestic grain and grass are very empty."

"The food currently on the market has also risen to 300 Wen a bucket."

"People's lives are quite difficult, let alone the 10,000+ troops on the front line."

"So, when the discussion came here, His Majesty sent someone to summon you."

"I want to ask if you have a solution."

Hearing this, Li Qiu frowned.

During this period of time, he has been busy with various chores.

Really failed to pay attention to these tense situations on the front line and around Datang.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji patted him on the shoulder.

"Li Qiu, now you know why Your Majesty and the court accepted the surrender of the Turks?"

"One of these is that the Turkic Grassland is extremely deep and the area is too wide."

"Once we use troops against them, if we can't wipe out their main force in the first place, our Tang Dynasty will definitely fall into the quagmire."

"Secondly, there are many rules in the war between these two countries."

"It doesn't matter what you do."

"However, if massacres are carried out on a large scale, it is bound to draw backlash from neighboring countries and forces."

"This is not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty and the people who have just emerged from the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty."

Listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Qiu nodded.

Then his eyes were extremely firm, and he said resolutely: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

"Since they jumped out to resist now, then I, Datang, will destroy them all!"

"At least in exchange for the peace of mind of my Tang Dynasty and the people of the Central Plains for hundreds of years!"

Having said this, Li Qiu turned around again, and bowed to Li Shimin for orders.

"His Majesty!"

"There is nothing difficult about food and grass."

"With the strength of the thirteen states including Youzhou, it is enough to supply the entire Datang army with food and grass for two years."

"At the same time, our Youzhou and other thirteen states currently have tens of thousands of sets of armor and Modao in stock."

"Tens of thousands of Turkic war horses were captured."

"In less than [-] days, it can be sent to the front line of Yinshan Mountain."

"With these armors, knives, and horses, what is there to fear from the Western Turks?!"

"And I would like to ask Your Majesty to invite an elite army to conquer Goguryeo in the east and Turks in the west!"

Chapter 619 Try the Ancestors of Bangzi Kingdom

In the previous case of the Cui family in Qingzhou.

The court took back all of Li Qiu's military and political power.

Although in name, the thirteen states of Youzhou are still under his control.

Even Li Shimin and others asked about grain and grass, they had to ask him.

But in essence, Li Qiu is currently a polished county king and a polished general.

There are no elite soldiers under direct control.

So if he wanted to fight, he had to ask Li Shimin for military power.

At this moment, looking at Li Qiu in front of him, full of anger and fighting spirit, he was full of high spirits.

Li Shimin's eyes are full of the shadow of himself back then.

In the depths of the eyes, there is also incomparable relief and pride.

"Li Qiu."

"This is no joke."

"What you just said, is it true?"

Hearing Li Shimin's earnest question, Li Qiu bowed again and begged for his life.

"Report to Your Majesty."

"There is nothing small in this country."

"How dare I speak nonsense?!"

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's subjects..."

"I, as well as the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, are willing to give everything to open up the territory for our Great Tang and wipe out powerful enemies!"

Hearing Li Qiu's sonorous and forceful words, Li Shimin also nodded vigorously.

"it is good!"

"Good job!"

"Cen Wenwen, convey my will."

"Add the title of Li Qiu, the king of Beiping, as the governor of Youzhou, supervising the military and political affairs of Youzhou, Mozhou and other thirteen states."

"Retire to Goguryeo and wait for a strong enemy to come."

"At the same time, send Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda to Pingzhou and Jingzhou to suppress the Liaoren rebellion."

"Jingzhou, Yuezhou, Fuzhou and other three state armies, under the leadership of warriors Xun and Cheng Mingzhen, fully assisted."

"In addition, order Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Li Xiaogong, and Xue Wanche to lead a large army to attack Gaochang, Qiuci, Tuyuhun and other countries in the Western Regions."

"Yichi Jingde, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Liang, lead the army to Yinshan to support Chai Shao and Li Daozong."

"In addition, order Li Jing to be the chief commander of the Northwest Road March to coordinate the overall battle situation in the northwest."

Having said that, Li Shimin looked at Li Qiu again, "Li Qiu, don't underestimate this Goguryeo."

"The soldiers on their side are fierce in nature, strong in strength, good at fighting, and good at making money. Woju and Dongyi belong to it."

"Better at riding and shooting."

"It has always been an extremely powerful force entrenched in the northeast of the Central Plains."

"During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, not to mention laboring the people and costing money, but they all returned in defeat."

"The demise of the previous dynasty also has a lot to do with the failure of the three campaigns against Goguryeo."

"In recent years, Goguryeo has taken advantage of the internal and external difficulties of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been more positive and negative, and it has made great efforts to expand."

"Secretly colluded with the Turks and built the Great Wall in the Liaodong area."

"His wolfish ambition is clearly revealed."

"So, when you go to Youzhou to fight Goguryeo this time, remember not to underestimate the enemy, let alone pursue it rashly."

Listening to Li Shimin's instructions, Li Qiu naturally bowed to accept the order and verbally agreed.

But his eyes were full of disdain and sternness.

Bangzi Country?

Now let me really see, can your ancestors do it? !

……

After the decree was announced, Li Qiu had already returned to the Furong Garden, making preparations to go to Youzhou.

At this time, Luo Kexin frowned tightly, and his eyes were also murderous, full of fighting spirit.

Even Li Qiu was moved by her gaze and the aura exuding from her body at this moment.

This feeling is really long gone.

"Husband, I want to go to the battlefield with you!"

"This Goguryeo has often come to the border of Youzhou to fight the autumn wind."

"Rush into the border of our Tang Dynasty, kill people, set fire to them, and rob food."

"In the past, my grandfather and I mainly dealt with the Turks, and we never had the energy to deal with them."

"Now, they dare to invade our border."

"It just so happens that this time the old and new grudges are settled together!"

Seeing her aura around her at the moment, even Wu Jue who was beside her was stunned.

The eyes are full of admiration and incomparable envy.

But Li Qiu shook his head helplessly.

He touched her fair and tender face with pity.

"Even if I want to settle accounts, it's enough for me to do it myself."

"Just stay at home obediently and take good care of the family and the children."

"Didn't you always dislike the nanny feeding the baby?!"

At this moment, someone hurried in to report that the Empress and Princess Pingyang had arrived.

Hearing this, Li Qiu and the others naturally hurried out to meet him.

But at this time, Empress Changsun arrived with Princess Pingyang and had already walked in.

During the ensuing chat, Empress Changsun also heard that Luo Kexin was also going there together.

Immediately, he had no choice but to comfort her.

"Keep, you child."

"A daughter's family, why do you always want to run to the battlefield?"

"This sword has no eyes. If there is a mistake, what will we do then?"

"And if you think about Wenzhi, he is only a few months old, and he hasn't even weaned his milk. Can he leave you?!"

"And Li Qiu, this time you go to the battlefield, you must be careful and don't be impulsive."

"Nowadays, my Tang Dynasty has many soldiers and generals. Those who can not charge forward in person, don't take fearless adventures anymore."

At this time, Princess Pingyang was also comforting Luo Kexin, and also gave Li Qiu a few words.

"Oh, Kexin, Li Qiu, you must keep this empress's words in your heart."

"As women, our lives are really hard."

"When I was young, I worried about my husband all my life."

"When I'm old, I still need to be in a relationship at the same time, thinking about my son."

"Right now, my family, Chai Shao and Zhe Wei, are both on the battlefield."

"Looking at the worsening situation recently, I can't sleep well all day."

"When I close my eyes every day, there are some bad scenes."

"Li Qiu, if you come to Youzhou this time, help me keep an eye on Zhewei."

"He is a child who is far inferior to you."

"The martial arts are not good, but the spirit is extremely high."

"On the battlefield, relying on momentum alone is not enough."

"Sending him to the grassland this time is also what he and his father insisted on."

"Although the wish is good, don't parents know how much their own children weigh?"
