Martial Sage

Chang'an City.

Tai Chi Hall.

Some veterans and civil servants who stayed behind in Chang'an gathered in the hall to discuss matters under the summoned by the king of Tang.

King Tang sat on the dragon seat, glanced at the courtiers present, and slowly read the Babailijia Emergency Report from Deyang on the front line.

"Li Xiaogong's department has led one hundred thousand elite soldiers to Deyang, and joined Su Ding's 50,000 elite soldiers against 180,000 Turkic soldiers. Now Tang Hao's three thousand soldiers have broken through Xiangcheng and headed to the Turkic rear."

Upon hearing the words, the ministers' expressions changed suddenly.

The situation in the north has changed suddenly, and everyone has never expected it.

The ministers were shocked and suspicious, and they started talking.

"Unexpectedly, this Turk has increased its troops so quickly in a few days! Really unexpectedly!"

"Yeah! This surprise attack by Tang Hao and Cheng Chumo did not play a role in dividing the forces. How to fight this final decisive battle! There is a suspicion of acting privately."

"No! Tang Hao and Cheng Chumo won their first battle. It is a gratifying thing to capture Xiangcheng! Why is there any guilt?"

For a time, the court seemed to be divided into two factions.

One faction believed that the three thousand soldiers led by Tang Hao did not play any role in dividing the army and should be punished.

The other faction believed that Tang Hao captured Xiangcheng and regained the lost land was a happy event and should not be punished.

Of course, these ministers dare not mention Li Xiaogong's fault, after all, this Li Xiaogong is the Tang brother of the Tang king!

Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Li Jing quietly leaned a few steps in front of Cheng Zhijie.

"Brother Cheng, it seems that the army has not moved a single soldier. The Qingqi in-depth strategy mentioned by Tang Hao has been highly praised. Now it seems that General Li's deep meaning is not the case."

Cheng Zhijie, who has experienced many battles, didn't realize this problem, frowned, said.

"It seems that Tang Hao and my son made a surprise attack, but it is actually putting pressure on the Turkic army and letting them divide their forces to expand their advantage in the frontal battlefield. This Li Xiaogong! What a good method!"

Until this moment, these two people reacted!

Li Jing glanced at King Tang sitting on the top of the Great Hall, and whispered.

"This General Li must have discussed with your Majesty, and there is no decision to shut up. I am afraid that General Li will not make a private decision."

With a light sigh, Cheng Zhijie said.

"The disposition of King Tang, we officials who have been with us for so long don't even know it."

"This Turkic army is constantly increasing, and General Li is likely to miss the opportunity. If the Turkic army that has not yet assembled when he first enters Deyang, it will not cause the situation of today's few enemies."

"It's just that General Li's royal status has won the trust of King Tang. Now even if he makes a wrong decision, he won't be blamed."

Having said this, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and there was a deep worry and even a hint of panic in their eyes at the same time.

If they were defeated this time, the two chess pieces in the battle would inevitably become scapegoats.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie's heart suddenly sank.

This strategy was planned by Tang Wang and Li Xiaogong at the same time. Even if it fails, due to his love, Tang Wang will definitely not punish the two of them.

It's just that the official positions of these two people will definitely not be retained. The promising future of these two rising stars and young talents must be ruined!

This sad thought shrouded the hearts of the two most anxious.

King Tang slowly got up and stood on the Great Hall, his face gloomy.

"What do you think about the war now?"

Worried that the saint would come down, Li Jing took the lead and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that Tang Hao and Cheng Chumo captured Xiangcheng as they were ordered to act. Three thousand cavalry troops captured Xiangcheng should be a marvelous achievement."

Li Jing said very vaguely, only talking about Tang Hao, but not mentioning Li Xiaogong's mistakes.

But these remarks were also justifying the two of Tang Hao, so as not to lose their tongues on the conviction after the decisive battle.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji slowly walked out, cupped hands said.

"Your Majesty, between the Israelis and the ministers, there is no private action between the two children. In this matter, if someone pushes the blame on these two children who are ordered to act, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers who attacked the city."

While this high-ranking royal family protected Tang Hao and others, he was also mocking Hejian County Prince's conservative prejudices, delaying the best opportunity.

Hearing that, all the ministers present, including Wang Wang, all showed surprises and looked towards Changsun Wuji.

This is not the first time that this grandson Wuji has openly defended Tang Hao and defended the two of them.

What's more, this long-term Sun Wuji, who has been unwilling to participate in the political leaders for many years, was the first one besides Li Jing to stand up.

This scene. Even the King of Tang Dynasty was slightly surprised.

King Tang in front of the Dragon Seat, looking down at the two people who stood up, frowned slightly, and said lightly.

"Have I ever said that two people should be punished for their crimes?"

Hearing this, Li Jing gritted his teeth secretly and said.

"His Majesty Ying, Martial Sage, of course not, I blamed the two children."

The emperors of ancient and modern times, which one does not pay attention to own reputation? If this decisive battle is defeated, even if the guilt will not fall on Tang Hao, at least half of the guilt will fall on the two children.

Li Jing said that it was just a precaution before it happened, and he took the lead in blocking Wang Wang's mouth.

Wang Wang said with a sullen face.

"This time I am looking for you to discuss how to march and deploy, not for you to discuss how to convict!"

Cheng Zhijie said loudly.

"In the current situation, if it is a strong attack, even if Tang wins, it will inevitably be severely injured."

"In the event of misfortune, the Northern Territory will fall completely, and then it will be deadlocked. It is very likely that these Turkic forces will prevail and pursue it."

"The Three Thousand Qingqi will also be completely swallowed."

Yuchi Jingde said with a loud voice.

"Between the Israelis and the ministers, in the current situation, whether you advance or retreat, there are risks. My Datang Sergeant is well-equipped and can fight a battle."

"150,000 vs. 180,000, it's difficult."

Gao Shilian was full of worried reminders.

Du Rumei let out a long sigh, her tone full of helplessness.

"The Turks are good at riding and shooting, and Datang is well equipped. If the two sides have equal forces, they can still fight. Now the Turkic army has an obvious advantage. If you fight again, I am afraid that there will be variables."

Fang Xuanling slowly walked up the Great Hall and glanced at the ministers.

"How to make a decision is not for me, but for the Hejian County King. There are many front-line variables, whether offensive or defensive is completely within his mind!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials present were silent.
