Tang capital, Chang'an On the top of the main hall, Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon seat, discussing the war in the northern Xinjiang with the ministers. \ "Ladies and gentlemen, now the traitors Dong Zhuo, the pseudo-Sui Yang Xie, and the Saiwai Hu people in the northern Xinjiang direction are standing here."
"Do you have a high opinion, can my Datang send troops to interfere with the war in Northern Xinjiang?"
Immediately, I saw Li Yuan take the lead in briefly describing the situation in northern Xinjiang, and then asked.
Hearing this, the ministers kept silent, pondered, and thought of countermeasures.
Time passed slowly, and I saw that at this time, the original minister of the Sui court, Niu Hong, stood up and said in and out: "Your Majesty, the minister has thought twice and thinks that our army should send troops to the northern frontier. ” Hearing this, Li Yuan immediately asked: "Why can you give a reason?"
Immediately, Bull Hong took a deep breath and analyzed: "According to what the minister thinks, now the traitor Dong Zhuo is colluding with Hu Kou because of his own ambitions. ” "To sell my Huaxia interests in exchange for Temujin's support."
"Now, however, Temujin is using Yulin County as a springboard to encroach on most of the territory of the Hetao region."
"Now we are still continuing to compete with the puppet Sui general Yang Lin in the center of the Hetao."
"The situation here is still evenly matched for the time being, and there is no victory or defeat in sight."
"But the situation in Yanmen Pass is not optimistic, the Khitan tribe invaded on a large scale, and most of its puppet Sui forces were in Shuofang."
"I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Sui army at Yanmen Pass to resist the advance of its Khitan army."
Immediately, I saw that Bull Hong suddenly changed his words, his expression became serious in an instant, and he said calmly: "But Yanmen Pass must not be lost."
"It must be known that the barrier of Yanmen County is Yanmen Pass, if it falls, Hu Kou will definitely drive straight in, and the loss of Yanmen will be a foregone conclusion."
"Once the Yanmen Gate is lost, the northern portal will be completely opened, and once the Hu people iron cavalry enters."
"At that time, even if it is the rule of our army in the state, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape" For a time, Bull Hong can be said to have analyzed extremely uniquely, and saw the war in the north very thoroughly.
And in a very resolute tone, he implored Li Yuan to send troops north.
This move has two intentions, one of which is indeed for Li Tang's rule in Bingzhou.
After all, the food of the king is the matter of loyalty The second, and most important, is that we don't want Huaxia to suffer again hundreds of years ago.
The Hu people's entry into the Central Plains brought a total disaster to the Chinese people.
Therefore, Bull Hong was desperate and tried his best to persuade Li Yuan to send troops.
Immediately afterwards, the ministers of the former Sui court led by Xue Daoheng also stood up to echo Bull Hong's proposal.
Although his analysis was very pertinent, Li Yuan did not immediately adopt it, but set his sights on his henchmen and advisers.
"Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, I don't know what you think of your opinions on the princess" For a while, Li Yuan asked Liu Wenjing and Pei Lian.
After all, although the ministers of the Sui court are now giving advice to themselves, Li Yuan, as the emperor, cannot blindly obey.
Extracting opinions from one's own confidants and ministers is the real imperial trick.
Immediately, seeing Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing thought for a while, then arched his hand and agreed, agreeing with his plan.
Immediately after, Li Yuan continued to ask: "Then I don't know who you Aiqing thinks can take the position of governor of the Northern Empire?"
As soon as these words came out, I saw that the ministers who had just been active immediately fell silent, and they were no longer offering suggestions.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Yuan's intentions are actually obvious.
Now, Li Shimin is leading the army in Tongguan, which is obviously aimed at the forces of Luoyang Wang Shichong.
As for Li Jiancheng, he was responsible for handling government affairs and planning the overall situation in the capital.
Obviously, this is already treating Li Jiancheng as an heir.
As for the candidates left behind in Taiyuan, they are Li Yuanji, the fourth son of Li Yuan, and Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal.
In this northern expedition, its commander must be Li Yuanji's.
As for Li Yuan's inquiry, his intention was to understand the ministers who supported Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin respectively among the hundreds of officials.
Therefore, almost all the ministers were human spirits, and they were all silent and did not express their attitude.
In this way, it is implied to Li Yuan that we are neutral people and will never participate in your establishment of the prince.
Whoever you make to succeed you in the future, we will be resolute in our obedience "Your Majesty, the King of Qin knows how to fight and is good at war, and his merits are outstanding, and I established the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Qin has at least half of the credit."
"Therefore, the minister recommended the king of Qin to go north to take command, lead the army to the expedition, and expel the Hu Kou in northern Xinjiang."
It was only said that the person who stood up to speak was Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao.
Chai Shao originally supported Li Shimin, but now that there is a God-given opportunity in front of him, how can he miss it.
When he asked Li Yuan, the son of heaven, to fight, he would have a chance.
It's just that Li Yuan didn't immediately agree, and his face turned gloomy.
Chai Shao is Li Yuan's son-in-law, if he were someone else, I am afraid that Li Yuan would have turned his face and denied people and was furious.
After all, since ancient times, what emperors are most afraid of is the participation of foreign ministers in the establishment of the prince.

Immediately, the crown prince Li Jiancheng quietly signaled Pei Lin with his eyes.
Pei Lin understood, immediately bowed his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Lord Chai is wrong with this."
"Although King Qin's ability to command troops is obvious to all in the Tang Dynasty, after all, King Qin has always been stationed in Tongguan and confronted Wang Shichong."
"As the saying goes: the time and place are favorable, but the King of Qin is not familiar with the war situation in northern Xinjiang."
"On the other hand, His Royal Highness King Qi has been shaking Taiyuan for a long time, and he must know the situation in northern Xinjiang well."
"Therefore, Weichen thinks that it is more appropriate for His Royal Highness the King of Qi to lead the army north, and please think twice."
Although Pei Lian's words were high-sounding, the content was really far-fetched.
One of the sentences that Li Shimin is not familiar with the local situation is extremely ridiculous It must be known that Li Shimin was the same as Gao Qi at the beginning to guard the northern Xinjiang and stick to Xihe County.
He also often fights with Hu Kou, so he is not familiar with the battle situation However, the most suspicious thing is that Pei Lin supported Li Jiancheng.
But why did Li Jiancheng signal Pei Lin to persuade Li Yuan to let Li Yuanji take command of the northern expedition.
Of course, this is certainly not a good intention, and it must be caused by some shady deed It's just that with Pei Lian's extremely far-fetched words, Li Yuan made a decision.
That is, on the grounds that Li Shimin wanted to lead the army to defend Luoyang Wang Shichong, he ordered Taiyuan to stay in Taiyuan and Li Yuanji to take command of the northern frontier.
Its target was directly aimed at the Khitan army outside Yanmen Pass For a while, as Li Tang once again became involved in the war in Northern Xinjiang, the battle situation couldn't help but become even more confusing This war has attracted the attention of people all over the world, and they all want to pay attention to how the battle between Hu and Han will end Yanmen Pass I saw that the Sui army's iron cavalry was already ready to go, and just waiting for an order, they would fight out of the pass and attack Hu Kou.
This time, Yang Ye personally led the army, accompanied by Yang Zaixing, Yang Yanding, Yang Yan'an, Yang Yanhui, and Yang Yande.
As for the cautious Yang Yanping, he led the foot soldiers to stay at Yanmen Pass to prevent the Khitan army from attacking the fortifications.
"Soldiers, get out of the customs and cut into Hukou" For a while, as Yang Ye ordered the whole army to leave the customs, 20,000 Sui cavalry slowly came out This move has a feeling of cutting into Hu Kou, who is conscious, and does not break the Khitan vow and will not return.
The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
