Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head at this time to comfort his wife, "Alas, it was just a dream.

"Qiu'er, this child has been weak and sick since he was a child, how can he go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

"You, you are too worried in your heart.

"Li Qiu, this kid is very shrewd, and he will never give up his life to make mistakes. "

Besides, there is Feng Li and the elite of the five hundred Shenwu Army by his side, and we secretly instructed the King of Beiping in the holy decree.

"No matter what aspect you say, Li Qiu will be fine. But

at this moment, an emergency military situation suddenly arrived, and there were already important ministers such as Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and Feng Deyi waiting outside the door.

When Li Shimin heard about this, he also hurried out.

As soon as they saw Li Shimin, all the ministers saluted one after another, and the anxious look on their faces could be seen at a glance.

"Your Majesty, I just got an urgent military situation. "

The Jieli army has just captured martial arts!" "

Martial arts, less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City.

It can be said that it is the gateway of Chang'an.

As long as the martial arts are passed, there is no barrier between Jieli's army and Chang'an City.

Therefore, as soon as he heard the news, a trace of disbelief flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and then he was extremely angry.

"What?!"

"Jieli's army has arrived at martial

arts?!" "What are so many officials in the states and counties north of the Wei River doing to eat

?!" "Jieli has killed martial arts, so there is a person who reports the news?!"

Fang Xuanling explained at this time, "The other party is taking a sneak attack. "

Avoided all the cities.

"Also, many state officials and county orders that have been concealed or delayed are still former henchmen.

"You can imagine what each of them has in their hearts. "

I'm afraid I can't wait to see Jieli enter Chang'an and avenge their old master!" Hearing

this, Li Shimin's eyes were even more murderous.

However, at the moment, the army of more than 100,000 Jieli has captured martial arts, and they will be able to attack Chang'an in a few days, but they have no effort to settle accounts with those people.

"Xuan Ling, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized right now?" Fang

Xuanling immediately replied: "In Chang'an City, the Praetorian Guard plus the six rates of the East Palace, a total of 30,000 horses.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart gradually sank, and a trace of anxiety and worry flashed in his eyes.

He has been the emperor for less than a year.

But as a general who commands the army and fights wars, he has been doing it for more than ten years.

He knew deeply about the prediction of the enemy's military situation and the understanding of the combat strength of the Turkic iron cavalry.

Now the 30,000 horses in Chang'an City can't stop the attack of Jieli's hundreds of thousands of troops at all.

At this time, Fang Xuanling continued: "Do you want to send someone to quickly transfer Li Jing and lead the whole army to rush back to help?"

Li Shimin sighed lightly, "Li Jing is stationed in Jingzhou, which is at least seven days away from Chang'an.

"At that time, the battle on Chang'an's side had already been decided.

"Now the military situation on Jieli's side is still unknown.

"Once the army moves in vain, if it is ambushed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Feng Deyi, the old minister of the two dynasties, also sighed at this time, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a matter, I don't know if I should

say it?" Li Shimin looked at him, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Feng Deyi: "With the current situation, does Your Majesty have to consider a way out?"

"For example, temporarily move the capital to Luoyang."

Hearing his words, the surrounding ministers also sighed in unison, frowning.

Although, with the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, absolutely no one wants to be driven and killed by the Turks, and they don't even care about their homes, move the capital and escape.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, Jieli's army of more than 100,000 is in martial arts, and it can be under the city of Chang'an within a day.

Although Feng Deyi's suggestion is emotionally unacceptable, objectively speaking, it is the most correct.

At this time, Li Shimin immediately snorted angrily, and his eyes were very resolute.

"Hmph! Less than a year after I inherited the unification, I fled Chang'an.

At

this time, Feng Deyi continued to persuade bitterly, "Your Majesty

!" "Can we, the 30,000 people, resist the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jieli?" "Can we

hold this war-torn and dilapidated city wall?"

"If the enemy army is surrounded and the emperor is in a desperate situation, then the Tang Dynasty will be doomed!" "If

you withdraw from Chang'an, you can temporarily avoid a strong enemy."

"As long as the emperor is here, the Tang Dynasty is here, and the abandoned Chang'an and the lost territory can be recaptured

!" Li Shimin's eyes swept over everyone coldly at this time, "If you withdraw from

Chang'an, can you avoid a strong enemy?" "You are wrong!"

"Staying in Chang'an, I am only facing an enemy of Jieli." "

But if you quit Chang'an, the people of the world and the descendants of history will think that I am an incompetent and degraded king

who is not even recognized by God!" "The people's hearts are reversed and embattled, so I am really in a desperate situation

!" "I am the emperor who does not have many soldiers and horses, and there is little grain and grass, but only this desperate battle is the backbone of the battle, I have it!"

"I sat in this Chang'an, together with the people of the Tang Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, stayed to fight to the death with Najieli, and did not go anywhere.

Listening to Li Shimin's impassioned words, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Qin Shubao and other important ministers all knelt down and expressed their willingness to follow the saint and live and die together with the Tang Dynasty!

At this time, seeing that the ministers present had renewed their morale, Li Shimin relaxed a little.

Then that night, Li Shimin discussed the military situation with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all night.

At the moment, there is no better way but to recruit all the men in the surrounding states and counties who have even a little strength first.

Fortify the city day and night, and prepare a lot of rolling wood and stones for defending the city.

This time, Jieli sneaked in from the Longxi Trail, and the army of more than 100,000 did not have much food and grass.

As long as Chang'an City can hold on for seven or eight days, there is no food in the Jieli army, and its soldiers will retreat.

After staying up all night and returning to the dormitory exhausted, Li Shimin also told the extremely bad news to Empress Changsun.

"Alas, now that I look at it, Chang'an City here is even more dangerous than the situation in Youzhou.

"Li Qiu didn't return in time, but he escaped a catastrophe!"

"And the king of Beiping County, he was right about that emergency military situation.

"This time the Turkic army is moving, there must be something strange. "

I didn't expect them to come directly to me this time. "

It's still me, I'm careless!" Listening

to Li Shimin's words, Empress Eldest Sun's eyes also showed a sad look.

I was worried about my husband, the people of Chang'an City, and the entire Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, when she thought of the worst possibility that was about to happen, she couldn't help but think of Li Qiu in her heart.

She has followed Li Shimin since she was a child, and she has gone through too much blood.

She is not afraid of death.

But now, if she leaves, she will leave Qiu'er's poor child behind, and she will pass by her biological parents again.

He doesn't even know that he also has a mother, and there is a mother in the world who regards him as his life and loves him.

He hasn't even called himself yet...
