"My beloved subjects, We feel that we need to discuss this matter further!"
Yuchi Gong panicked when he heard that.
"Your Majesty, what else is there to discuss? Everything is clear. That old thief Tuli is seizing the opportunity to extort and blackmail us. If we continue to hesitate, perhaps this is all part of that old thief Tuli's scheme. By the time we continue to discuss this matter, perhaps Sheng Province and Feng Province will already be gone! "
"Your Majesty, old man Yuchi is right. If we continue to discuss this matter, they might even be laughing at us in that tent right now! What are we waiting for? We need to hurry and send out our troops! "
"Your Majesty …"
"Enough!"
Somewhat annoyed, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed at the morning court tomorrow. Afterwards, we will make a final decision. Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, I order the two of you to quickly and secretly send spies to Feng Province and Sheng Province to investigate the situation."
"At the same time, send a message to Niu Jinda. The battle at Qiuci cannot be delayed for even a moment. The fortifications must be stabilized!"
The few of them couldn't help but tremble.
They hastily bowed.
They hastily withdrew.
Once the army had left.
Only then did Li Shimin stare blankly at the detailed and accurate map on the wall of the imperial study.
From Chang 'an to Guannei Daodao and these two places, it would only take three days to get there. That is to say, three days … ….
That is, three days is the time this Gege Hou Junji died.
That is to say, this Tuli also interacted with that Hou Junji?
Then what about Xieli?
Li Shimin couldn't help but think about everything that had happened in Tubo, Tuyuhun, India, and the Turkic Khaganate. Now that he connected the dots with this Hou Junji, he suddenly realized that these people and matters really did seem to be connected by some unknown thread.
Was someone really behind all of this?
This person.
It seemed that Hou Junji …
"Haaah!"
Li Shimin deeply sighed.
When Wei Zheng saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, did you discover something?"
Li Shimin nodded. "Prime Minister Wei, do you still remember Helan Mountain …"
In an instant, Wei Zheng understood.
On this map.
That year, it was because of Huo Qubing that the Xiongnu were broken up in one battle, which resulted in the current Turks and Huizhi.
But at this moment.
Why did Tuli choose this place instead of other places? What was his purpose?
One must know that the Xiongnu were the ancestors of the Turks.
With that old bastard Tuli Khan's crafty character, if he did not have any other intentions, how could he set up the battlefield in two places at the same time?
Moreover, it was a taboo for military strategists to divide their forces into two.
He was all too familiar with Tuli's character. Moreover, as soon as he set up the battle array, he began to write the letter of credence. What was he doing?
This was clearly a form of pressure.
At this time, the only thing that was fighting at the border was none other than the Qiuci side. At this time and place, the Qiuci side was still in a deadlock. If Li Shimin's guess was correct, the Qiuci side should have received the news at the same time as Tuli's letter of credence.
At the thought of this.
Li Shimin's expression became even more gloomy.
It was obvious that they wanted him to divide his forces.
In particular, they wanted the Qiuci people's attention to this place.
What was this place?
Once they crossed the Helan Mountains, they would reach Chang 'an City in less than two days.
This was all part of his plan.
Li Shimin instantly lost his composure when he thought of this.
At this time, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui were also very anxious when they saw Li Shimin's expression and the map.
"Your Majesty, is this related to the war in Qiuci?"
Finally, it was Zhangsun Wuji who broke the silence and asked.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right! This is only one of the reasons. They want to divide the forces of the Tang Dynasty. I suspect that these two places are just a pretense. I suspect that they have other purposes … "
Hearing this, they were shocked.
They hurriedly looked at the place where Qiuci and Fengzhou were.
They couldn't help but fall silent.
But they couldn't figure out anything.
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, we are slow-witted. Please enlighten us!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let's take it easy. By the way, Zhangsun, I have a task for you."
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly knelt and said, "Your Majesty, please enlighten us!"
Wei Zheng and the others also hurriedly bowed.
Li Shimin said, "From now on, quickly send an envoy to negotiate with Tuli. This matter must be done as soon as possible. You go personally. Also, wait for Fang Xuanling. Go to the mountain and find Fengzi in person. Don't mention this matter. Ask him to get a few more cannons and see if it works.
Hearing this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
His Majesty was really anxious. .
Although they hadn't seen the power of those cannons, since Zhang Feng said so, they must be very powerful. If ten cannons could pacify Qiuci, then if five more cannons were built, wouldn't they be able to solve the war in Fengzhou and Sheng Zhou as well?
Thinking about it this way …
At this time, they also understood the Emperor's strategy.
That was to first send someone to delay that old thief Tuli and wait for Zhang Feng's cannons.
Once the cannons were built, everything would be fine.
