Vol 2 Chapter 1549: The whole country is preparing for war, but it is difficult to think about it! (Thank Ruo, meet Wan...

"More than an hour ago, I received the news that last night, the Turkic general Asina Sheergui led fifty thousand elite wolves into the pass and defeated the defenders at Yanmen Pass, Yonghe Pass, and Madou Pass.
The Turkic State Master Wu Jie, after stealing the academy’s secret dossiers, wanted to join Ashina Sheer, and at Longmen Pass, he fought against the defenders deployed by Yonganhou. Yonganhou fought with all his strength. Although it was invincible, but After leaving the Yanhuang Academy files stolen by Wu Jie, Wu Jie took the road and fled, and successfully merged with Ashina Sheergui at Ma Douguan!
Later, Ashina Sheergui and Wu Jie once again returned to Longmen Pass, in order to take away the academy archives, the Longmen Pass defenders defended the city with all their strength, coupled with the army led by Uncle Bao and the reinforcements led by Qizhou Assassin Wang Renbiao arrived in time , And then repelled the Turkic army!
Yi Guogong led an army to pursue, and coordinated with the guards of Yunzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Weizhou outside the Yonghe Pass to encircle the Turkic army regiment. Ashina Sheergui and Wu Jie struggled to break through the encirclement, and finally only took More than a thousand people fled back to the grassland! "
The next day, oh, no, it should be exactly today. After daybreak, Li Er, who had slept for more than an hour, got up to preside over the early dynasty again. Li Er was a very self-disciplined emperor. He was definitely not a last resort. Will be absent early. In the court hall, after the monarch and ministers saw the ceremony, Li Erzhi went to the topic and said in a deep voice.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was shocked!
Except for Li Jing and Li Ji, who participated in the war deduction yesterday, the other ministers took a breath when they heard that the 50,000 Turkic wolves were knocking in. They were shocked and endured. Not living in his heart secretly thought, Datang and the Turks have been in peace for more than two years. Is this finally about to start declaring war on each other?
Since ancient times, wars between nations have never been a trivial matter. From the monarchs and courtiers to the people of the Li people, they are all drawn to their hearts by the war.
The Tang Dynasty established the country by military force. There were a large number of civil servants and generals in the court who were never afraid of war. So as soon as Li Er's voice fell, someone immediately stepped forward and said with a fist:
"Your Majesty, Jieli deceived people so much that he dared to send troops to attack my Datang again. Could he still be as weak and deceived as the Datang two years ago? Veteran petitioners, willing to lead the army into the grassland and capture Jieli alive!"
It was Niu Jinda who was out of the queue. This time, Li Er ordered Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde to lead the army north to pursue Wu Jie, but he was the only one who missed him. This made Niu Jinda feel a little unconvinced. According to reason, His martial arts are no worse than Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde. Why didn't Lao Li have his generals?
So when I heard Li Er talk about the war ahead, Lao Niu immediately became energetic. He knew that Li Er would be extremely dissatisfied with the Turks this time, and he would probably send troops directly to attack the grassland. How could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience? opportunity?
"Your Majesty, the Turks ignore my Datang, the old ministers please fight! Asking to send troops to destroy the Turks!"
Li Ji also stood up and bowed.
Old) ministers please fight to destroy the Turks!"
With a "wow", everyone in the military commander's camp stood up, bowed and clasped their fists to Li Er in unison.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the past few years, the world has risen to peace, and there have been very few wars. This highlights the preciousness of military achievements. Now the national war between the Tang and Turks is finally about to kick off. How can these generals? Sit and live? They all want to split (set up) a cup (army) of soup (gong) in this national war.
The military commander is like this, and the civil minister does not show any weakness.
Not all civil servants in the early Tang Dynasty were sour scholars who could only care for people. Many civil servants not only rode horses and archery, but some even could afford swords, and knew how to use their hands. Seeing the generals expressed their opinions, many civil servants were unable to sit down. Living!
"Your Majesty, I have been recuperating for the past two years. Not only has the people's livelihoods been prosperous, but the treasury is also becoming increasingly full. Now Jie Li has sent troops to directly invade the borders of my Datang. In my eyes, since ancient times, the emperor has humiliated his officials and died. If your majesty decides to conquer the Turks, the old minister Wei Zheng is willing to go with the army!"
Wei Zheng took two steps forward, arching his hands angrily.
Never mind that Wei Penzi always sprays Li Er, but what do you say? The depth of love, the utmost responsibility! Although these words are not suitable for Wei Zheng and Li Er, Wei Zheng's purpose of spraying Li Er on weekdays is still to hope that Li Er can become an eternal sage!
In the two years since Li Er ascended the throne, although some aspects were still insignificant, there were few major mistakes, and he was very close to the holy monarch in Wei Zheng's mind! Seeing that the Tang Dynasty is getting better and better and more and more prosperous, the Turks actually swept their troops south and invaded the land of the Tang Dynasty. Although Wei Zheng was only a literati, he also had a full of patriotism. For this country, he was willing Go to the front and kill the enemy for the country!
Wei Zheng is definitely not just talking about it. If there is a real need, he dare to go home immediately to pack up his things and prepare to go out with the army!
Book business madness, slam Fang Qiu!
It is what Wei Zheng looks like now!
At this time, you don't need to be calm, what you want is the kind of fearless book business and patriotic spirit!
"Your Majesty, what Wei Zuocheng said is extremely true. Now my Datang has a strong national power, and my strength is no longer what it used to be. Jie Li sent troops to invade the borders of my Datang. Only in this way can the border of the Tang Dynasty be completely stabilized, and the small neighboring countries can put away the coveted heart of the Tang Dynasty! The minister believes that the court should send troops and is capable of sending troops to conquer the Turks!"
Fang Xuanling also followed Wei Zheng to stand up at this time, and handed over to Li Er.
"The old minister agrees!"
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, then stepped forward, arching his hands.
He seconded this, and the other civil servants couldn't wait to hand over to Li Er: "The ministers seconded! Please send troops to conquer the Turks!"
The civil and military of the Manchu dynasty, with one heart and one mind, fight together, this is the Datang, this is the attitude of the civil and military of the early Tang Dynasty to war!
It is said that the Tang is strong and the Song is weak. This is not necessarily unreasonable. It is precisely because of the national atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty that they can often stand up bravely and serve the country when encountering such wars between countries. But war, unlike the Song dynasty, every time there is a war, the Manchu dynasty can hardly find one who can stand up. Basically, most of them are the masters and the factions. They only seek temporary stability, but the future generations will Will not be slaughtered by foreign races?
"Okay! All the loves are worthy of being the pillars of the country, I am so relieved!"
Seeing that the courtiers eagerly asked for the battle, Li Erlong was delighted. He laughed and said: "Most of the locust plagues in the Guanzhong area have been calmed down, even if some places have not been calmed down, relying on Taicang and Hanjiacang offices. The food reserves are also sufficient to cope with the disaster. The six departments of the court should be free at this moment to prepare for the next war!
In this attack on the Turks, I plan to send 300,000 troops. These 300,000 troops will be allocated from the Chang’an 12 Guards. Along the way, we will recruit elite troops from all states and expand our army to 400,000. Let's fight it out!
Within three months, the officials of the six ministries must prepare the food, grass, armor, war horses, and medicines needed by the 300,000 army, and the soldiers of the various military offices in Chang'an. In these two months, they must intensify their training without any slack. I will enter the camp to conduct inspections. If anyone is found to be negligent in training, the lieutenant general will definitely punish him!
Three months later, the army officially set off. I want to destroy the entire Turks and make the northern border of the Great Tang completely peaceful, so that my descendants of the Great Tang will no longer be threatened by the northern aliens! "
Everyone's heart stunned. They didn't expect that Li Er actually planned to attack the Turks in three months. This was a little sudden, but it was reasonable, because if you play for a few months, it will be winter. Tang Jun will be very disadvantaged!
But at the same time, everyone was excited by Li Er's rhetoric. So, as soon as Li Er's voice fell, the civil and military officials in the hall bowed and said: "The ministers wait for the edict!"
This is a massive national war, this is the first full confrontation between the two most powerful countries in the world today! Even though Datang is now strong and strong, with sufficient treasury, it still has to go all out to deal with a behemoth like the Turk!
The 300,000 army mentioned by Li Er is already the least estimated. It is not that he does not want to send out more troops, but going deep into the grasslands and long-range operations are originally an extremely difficult challenge for logistics supplies. The more difficult it is to supply, the army of three to four hundred thousand is already the limit value that the supply line can maintain normally, no matter how large the number of people, the supply will easily go wrong!
On the other hand, Li Er must consider not only the Turks, but also other small countries around Datang. If the army of the Tang Dynasty is sent out, it will inevitably lead to emptiness in the rear. The small surrounding countries, such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and Zhenla. These countries may not have thoughts about Datang and come to take advantage of it!
Therefore, in Li Er's opinion, the army that attacked the Turks is more expensive than more. With good armor and excellent tactical command, the 400,000 army may not be able to shake the Turkic "millions of heroes." !

"Yu Xi, why is your complexion so bad? Are you sick?"
Lantian County, Yong'an Hou Mansion.
Han Yuxi, as usual, got up early to prepare breakfast for his parents-in-law. Although in this era, ordinary people only eat two meals without breakfast, but for large families like the Li family, three meals a day are naturally indispensable! While eating, Mrs. Li couldn't help asking worriedly when seeing Han Yuxi's face haggard.
Han Yuxiqiang smiled and said, "Mother, I'm fine! Don't worry, just don't sleep at the latest!"
"Oh! Silly boy, mother doesn't know you yet?"
Mrs. Li stared at Han Yuxi's face for a while, couldn't help but sighed, and asked: "Are you worried about Xiaoxuan? Worried about not falling asleep?"
"Mother! I don't! Xianggong has a strong martial arts, there is nothing to worry about, he will definitely return safely in a few days!"
Han Yuxi shook her head quickly and explained: "I...I'm just worried about the academy, so I want to go to the academy for a while!"
"Yanhuang Academy has always been fighting against the world. This time, Xuan'er was hundreds of miles away. Yuxi, you can go to the academy! The old man also heard that Mr. Li Gang was sick in bed. Go and visit the old man!"
Li Jingmo, who was sitting next to Mrs. Li, said in a deep voice.
"Oh! The old gentleman is highly respected and has two sleeves all his life. He clearly has reached the age of supporting his life, but he still insists on teaching and educating people in the academy, and how many people in the world can compare to him? Once I became ill, I just became bedridden, and I don’t know if Dr. Sun can cure Mr. Wenji!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li sighed sadly.
"Father, mother, don't talk about this for now, the food is going to be cold, eat it! Come on, Lan'er, eat it too!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was somewhat depressed, Han Yuxi said quickly.
Lan'er nodded heavily, and said, "Yeah! Lan'er needs to eat more. When my brother comes back, I won't be able to hold Lan'er anymore!"
The girl has no sorrow, Lan'er can only hold beautiful things in her heart, but some people, some things, can't always be good!
"Madam young, you are obviously worried that the young master will not sleep all night, why didn't you just tell the truth to the master and the wife?"
After the meal, Han Yuxi packed up some things, got in the carriage, and under the personal of Liu Feng, Liu Yun and others, headed towards Yanhuang Academy. As for the original plan to go to Yunshan to visit Li Gang’s father, it was too late. Some go again, because he is afraid of affecting Li Gang's rest. On the way, Xiao He looked at Han Yuxi and asked quietly.
Han Yuxi smiled bitterly, and said, "Xiaohe, what can I do even if I tell my father and mother? It will only make them worry about it together! I don't know where Xiang Gong is now. Such a big thing happened in the previous college. I think Wang Wei and the others must have used the telegraph to inform Xiang Gong about this matter. Maybe Justice blocked the witch robbery in a certain state and county pass in the north. How could I not worry about him?"
The carriage suddenly fell into silence~EbookFREE.me~ After a long time, Xiao Xi said: "Madam Young, you said earlier that it is impossible for Young Master to have a strong martial arts! Besides, the Saint sent General Qin and Cheng The generals are going to support the young master, he must be fine with the young master! Don't worry! When the young master comes back, seeing your haggard appearance, I should feel distressed again!"
"Hmm! The young master loves the young lady so much, it will definitely feel distressed!"
Xiao He quickly agreed.
After being comforted by these two little girls, Han Yuxi felt a little better in her heart. She glanced at them and said: "Okay! Don't persuade you two anymore. Let's go to the academy first. If we can It's the best thing to meet the blue bird, he must know the news of the mate!"
Han Yuxi secretly said in her heart that she must be equipped with a telegraph at home in the future, so that when Li Zexuan is out, she can receive news as soon as possible! As for how to use the telegraph, there is no need to worry about this. Before he got married last year, Li Zexuan gave him a telegraph to use for "love letters", so she can be regarded as one of the first people to use the telegraph in Datang!
