Li Tao nodded and said, "What Wei Guogong said is extremely true.
Li Shimin sighed: "What the two Aiqing said is very true, as Wei Guogong said, at present, the only soldiers that can be transferred by the imperial court are the six guards of the Southern Ya, but if all of them are transferred, I will feel uneasy." ” Li Jing said: "That's true, the Nanya Forbidden Army can adjust up to three guards. ” Li Shimin said: "But there are only 60,000 troops, and in the face of 200,000 Turkic troops, it is difficult to defend, and it is not easy to rescue the trapped Xue Wanjun and the rest of Li Yi."
I invited the two of you here today to ask the two Aiqing to take charge and turn the tide. ” Li Tao hesitated, he was not afraid of 60,000 forbidden troops against 200,000 Turks.
What he was worried about was how such an asymmetrical force would rescue Xue Wanjun and Li Yi's remaining troops.
You know, defense may depend on the advantages of the city and the terrain.
Rescue requires the initiative to attack, and the advantage of the terrain is in the hands of the enemy.
Li Jing suddenly said: "The minister has a plan, if Your Majesty adopts it, then the hope of rescuing the trapped Tang army will be greatly increased." ” Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Although Wei Guogong said that as long as the trapped Tang army can be rescued, I am not improper. ” Li Tao looked at Li Jing with strange eyes, he had already guessed what Li Jing was going to say.
What is strange to him is that at this juncture, it is too late to avoid suspicion, isn't Li Jing afraid of the emperor's suspicion Li Jing said: "The Shenji Guard is strong, and it is a new victorious division, Your Majesty can order the heir Li Mu to lead the army north, although the south of the Yangtze River is far away, but fortunately, there is a canal, and you can reach Chang'an by waterway in four days at the latest."
Chen Ke led 60,000 forbidden troops to go first, contain the troops of Jiaohe City, and reduce the pressure on the rest of Xue Wanjun and Li Yi.
When Li Mu and his guards arrived, they would work together to rescue them, so although they did not dare to guarantee a big victory, they should not make a mistake in rescuing the trapped Tang army. ” Li Shimin fell silent when he heard this, and his face became a little ugly.
This expedition to Gaochang originally didn't want Li Mu to destroy Baekje's achievements and affect his reputation.
But now, Li Jing proposed to let Li Mu send troops to rescue.
Li Shimin seemed to see Li Jiancheng looking at him with sarcasm.
"What Aiqing said is reasonable, but even if I agree with Li Mu to lead the troops to rescue, it will take at least three or two days to go to Hangzhou to spread the decree, I am afraid that the rescue time will be delayed."
Anyone can hear Li Shimin's refusal.
Li Jing also fell silent, he couldn't persuade any further, and if he persuaded again, he would anger Li Shimin.
However, Li Shimin's statement is also reasonable, it will take two or three days to send people to Hangzhou to deliver the decree now, and then wait for Li Mu to send troops to the north, and the rescue time will be delayed.
The kings and ministers fell silent.
Fang Xuanling had been silent, and at this time, in order to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, he said: "If there is really no way, I can only transfer all the six guards of Nanya." ” Indeed, at this time, there is only this way.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and was about to make an order.
Coincidentally, Li Mu's performance was sparse.
"The minister heard that our army was trapped in the sweat mountain, and the minister's heart was like a knife, and he was restless, so he specially asked His Majesty for an order to go north to rescue.
As long as His Majesty allows it, he can go north along the canal, but because it is not easy to transport war horses and equipment, please ask His Majesty for permission, and send war horses by the imperial court, and inform Li Jiazhuang to prepare a pair of equipment, and wait for the minister to lead the left guard of the god machine to Chang'an and change clothes. ” Li Mu's recital was very clear, and even the equipment was taken into account.
None of the people present were stupid, and Li Mu had obviously decided to send troops.
Perhaps, troops have already been dispatched.
Handing over the recital is just to take into account the righteousness and give the world an explanation.
But it is precisely because of this kind of domineering that Li Shimin can't bear it.
He dared to gather an army without a will This is obviously a disregard for the law as if it were nothing.
If this were in normal times, Li Shimin would definitely have issued an order to quell the rebellion.
But now, Li Shimin can only endure this breath.
Because once the remnants of the trapped Tang army are destroyed, the Turkic army will take advantage of the situation to move south, and the situation in the Western Regions will be eroded.
Li Shimin could not bear the consequences of the turmoil in the government and the opposition.
Fang Xuanling felt Li Shimin's anger and helplessness.
He gave Li Shimin a step, "Your Majesty, although the move of the King of Huiji County violates the law, it is also reasonable for him to have social feelings and worry about the safety of his brothers. ” Li Jing and Li Tao bowed together and said: "For the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is extrajudicial." ” Li Shimin's face flickered for a long time.
Cai Youyou said: "Since all Aiqing has this intention, I miss his brotherly affection, so I will not pursue it." ” "Li Jing."
"The minister is here."
"I have appointed you as the general manager of the Yili Dao march, and Li Tao is the deputy commander, leading the left and right guards, and the left leading army guards with a total of 60,000 people, and going to the Western Regions on the same day to attack Gaochang."
"The ministers obey."
"Spread the decree, Li Mu, the king of Huiji County, was appointed as the governor of Hexi, and on the day he heard about it, he led his headquarters to rescue the trapped Tang army."
"Whoa."
"Fang Aiqing."
"The minister is here."
"Li Mu's war horse is up to you to procure.
If it is not enough, it will be mobilized by the three guards of the South Ya. ” "Yes."
"Yuan Renguo."

"The slave is here."
"Go to Lijiazhuang to spread my message, and there must be no mistake in purchasing all the ordnance needed for the army."
"Yes." 。
When Li Mu received Li Shimin's will, the army was already at the border of Songzhou.
Hundreds of ships, tens of miles of waterways.
All the civilian boats were far away, lest they could avoid it and were hit and sunk.
Along the way, the government sent people to follow all the way, but they were shocked by the "Huiji King" flag on the fleet, and they did not dare to board the ship to ask.
But the snowflakes of impeachment flew towards Chang'an.
Nothing happened.
As a result, the local government did not dare to obstruct it.
When they arrived in Chang'an, Li Jing and Li Tao had already set off with their troops two days earlier.
Because of the need to save time, the Shenji Guard needs to pass through the east gate of Chang'an to the outside of the west gate.
Li Mu immediately asked Li Shimin for an order.
However, Li Shimin rejected it with the urgency of the military situation.
Li Musui led a large army through the city.
Outside the West Gate, Fang Xuanling and other officials saw off the army on behalf of the emperor.
And a staff member of Lijiazhuang was also among the send-offs.
Li Mu saw the Yang family who was already in tears.
A few steps forward, kneeling down and greeting: "Mother." ” Yang's trembling hands helped Li Mu up, she stroked Li Mu's face and said, "Mu'er, you must save your brother back." ” "Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely bring the second brother back to you intact."
"You have to be careful yourself, don't let your mother worry."
"The child remembers."
At this time, a soft sedan chair stopped in front of Li Mu, and Princess Xi showed her face from the sedan chair.
Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.
"The child sees the mother."
"Mu'er, get up, this expedition is not better than before, the Turks are fierce, don't be careless
