At this moment, Li Chengqian didn't need to say anything.
Li Shimin had long understood.
If all of this wasn't a conspiracy of the Turks, then it would be strange.
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and walked in front of the map. After a long time, he asked, "Did Feng Zi say what we should do?"
"He said that Imperial Father was already mentally prepared …"
Li Chengqian said with a headache.
Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression froze. Then, he couldn't help but sigh. "This Feng Zi really gave me a difficult problem. I almost had to send troops!"
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "However, Feng Zi seems to mean that the troops will be sent, but not to Zhenla."
Not to Zhenla?
Then where to?
Li Shimin stared at the map. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure it out.
At present, the best way was to immediately send troops and then enter Zhenla to suppress India. Otherwise, when the troops arrived, everything would be over.
But this kid said that he wouldn't go to Zhenla?
Then, thinking of the request that Zhang Feng asked Li Chengqian to convey to Zhenla and Tubo, Li Shimin pointed at the map and asked in surprise, "Does Feng Zi mean that Zhenla's request for troops this time was completely due to the Turks and Indians deliberately leaking the news? What is their purpose?"
"Could it be for …"
"Come, quickly summon Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong into the palace. Even if the horses run to death, I want to see them within a quarter of an hour!"
Cheng Chumo and the others who were kneeling outside the door heard this and felt their heads explode.
They secretly looked back at the deep palace courtyard and couldn't help but be speechless.
Did they really want the horses to run to death?
Such a long distance, even if a horse galloped all the way, it would still take an hour …
It seemed that the matter this time was really serious.
"Dong — Bang — Woo —!"
Not long after Li Shimin's voice was transmitted, the news instantly reached the drum tower. After receiving the name, the drum tower heavily beat the drum three times. After hearing the three drum beats, the guards on the city wall of Zhuque Gate were as if they were facing a great enemy. An old general who understood the meaning of the drum beat personally took the hammer in the guard's hand and slammed it on a bronze gong the size of a millstone.
In an instant, a piercing sound of the gong melodiously spread from the tower of Zhuque Gate.
The sound of the gong was very subtle.
After the first knock, the bell rang twice in a row, and then there was no more sound.
After the second sound of the gong, a long and melodious sound of a horn sounded from the direction of the Chang 'an Military Camp, that is, the gate of Chang' an City City.
This was a kind of temptation that no one else could understand, but only the generals in the army could. ,
This was the Command...
It meant that the Emperor had encountered an extremely serious matter. No matter what he was doing, he had to put it down and quickly enter the palace.
This was the fastest way to transmit military intelligence in ancient times. It was a signal transmission method other than the smoke signal.
At this time, in Yuchi Gong's mansion, Cheng Yaojin and the others were sitting around the sand table, arranging their troops. While they were arguing until their faces were red, they suddenly heard the faint sound of a gong. Yuchi Gong and the others' faces changed greatly.
They hurried out of the room and listened carefully. At this time, they heard the melodious sound of a horn coming from the gate of Chang 'an City. They couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Let's go! Enter the palace! "
"Someone, prepare three horses!"
Cheng Yaojin roared, picked up the broad axe on the shoulder of the guard in the corner, and quickly rushed out of Yuchi Gong's mansion.
After that, the three of them didn't even have time to put on their official robes. They each took their weapons and hurried to the imperial city.
They didn't know what had happened to the Emperor.
This was a communication method that they were familiar with, but also strange to them.
Only they, who had experienced the change of the Xuanwu Gate, knew the meaning of it. But now, the Emperor was using it.
It was obvious how serious the situation was at this time.
How could the three of them dare to say anything?
Along the way, the horse whips cracked loudly.
But even so, it still took them almost an hour to arrive at the imperial study.
As soon as they entered, Cheng Yaojin was the first to raise his broad axe and say, "General Cheng Yaojin greets the Emperor!"
"Rise, rise. Let me ask you, have you discussed any countermeasures?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Yuchi Gong and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with this matter. But old man Yuchi said that he wants to change the route to enter Zhenla from Tubo …"
"Let me ask you, what do you think is wrong?"
Li Shimin impatiently interrupted Cheng Yaojin, looked at the three of them again and asked, "I want to know, what do you think is wrong?"
Hearing this.
Cheng Yaojin then said, "It's the food problem of Tubo and Zhenla. No matter if it's 50,000 or 100,000 people, according to our informants, currently India and Tubo are all affected by the food shortage, especially Tubo and the Turks. Although Zhenla has been trading with us before, it can only be regarded as using the power of the whole country to stockpile food for 100,000 people. So, I feel that there is something wrong with this matter. It's completely unnecessary!"
"Especially Tubo. Does it need to go through so much trouble to quell internal strife?"
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Li Shimin's expression became more dignified, and he pointed at Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Gong.
The two of them said basically the same thing as Cheng Yaojin.
Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but thump. He said, "You should have heard about the Crown Prince coming down the mountain just now, right? The news he brought was that Fengzi said that this was a conspiracy of the Turks, and he suspected that old thief Tuli's 100,000 elites had already entered Tubo and India. But I feel that since Tuli has made a move, it's impossible for Xieli to not make a move. "
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and the other two's expressions changed greatly.
Li Shimin continued, "So, I feel that it's very likely that Xieli has also mobilized at least 100,000 troops!"
"…"
