053 Banquet before Xuanwu Gate
On the morning of November 8th, a fine snow fell on Chang'an City. The snow was not heavy, but it was enough to wrap the entire Tang Dynasty imperial capital with a layer of silver and beautiful outfit.
Emperor Li Jiancheng's absolute confidant Xue Wanche got up early and washed and changed his clothes. He felt uneasy. He didn't sleep well last night. Didn't he get up early? He walked out of the camp gate slowly and looked at the long-lasting barracks beside him. However, Xue Wanche couldn't feel any sense of security. This time, he followed King Li Yuanji of Qi to defend against the Turks from the south. What he felt was not the excitement of making achievements but the extremely dangerous palpitations. He had no sense of security. The commander had the experience of escaping Taiyuan, a place where the Tang Dynasty had sent tens of thousands of elite troops and hoarded food for ten years. In August of the seventh year of Wude, the Turkic Jieli and the two Khans of Turkic Khans had a war-captured army that could be fought across the country invaded Yuanzhou, Xinzhou, Bingzhou, Suizhou and other places, shaking Guanzhong and Chang'an martial law in Kyoto. King Li Yuanji of Qi saw that he had achieved great success.
Beg for Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan to send him with him. Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, could not stand the request of him and Prince Li Jiancheng, and allowed him to go with Li Shimin. King Qin Li Shimin was ordered to take King Qi Li Yuanji to fight. More than 10,000 cavalry of Turks lined up in a high position, with a strong momentum. The number of Tang soldiers was extremely unfavorable, and the soldiers were shocked and their morale was unstable. King Qin Li Shimin told King Qi Li Yuanji that the Turks wanted to suppress people with momentum, and we even further
You can't be timid, do you dare to follow me to fight? King Li Yuanji of Qi shook his head quickly and retreated to the formation for the army to protect him. At that time, King Li Shimin of Qin looked at King Li Yuanji of Qi and retreated and said, "As a leading general, you have no courage to fight against the enemy with just this little courage. Then I will go alone, just watch here." After that, King Li Shimin of Qin rushed to the Turkic formation and wanted to fight Jie Li to improve morale.
Of course, it is very uneasy to be a subordinate of such a timid and greedy marshal. Needless to say, it is good to make achievements and return to Chang'an safely, so Xue Wanche is very worried about his life safety. Speaking of this time, the King of Qi Li Yuanji took charge of Jingzhou to defend against the Turks, and he and several other emperors who would accompany King of Qi Li Yuanji to Jingzhou at the same time, and the generals of Qi Li Yuanji, the King of Qi Li Yuanji, are really not optimistic about this battle to defend against the Turks in Jingzhou.
"Oh!" Xue Wanche sighed again, but what he was thinking about was King Qin Li Shimin. The Turks have always gone south and no one can stop them. Only King Qin Li Shimin led his troops to defend against the Turks several times. If you want to say that the best candidate to defend against the Turks was definitely King Qin Li Shimin. "Oh, it's a pity that the King of Qin and the Emperor, hey!"
Xue Wanche sighed for a while, and saw that it was getting late, so he rode on his horse and hurriedly led a few personal soldiers to Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an. Along the way, he could see several teams dressed like him, and he should be one of the people invited to attend the emperor's expedition to the King of Qi Li Yuanji.
Because the You hour is a good time to send troops, Emperor Li Jiancheng chose the banquet time to be in charge of his younger brother Li Yuanji, who was in charge of his younger brother Li Yuanji, and he went to the war to practice. Just after Chen hour, the officials invited by Emperor Li Jiancheng had almost gathered in Shujing Hall. Of course, it was almost the same, because those who had not arrived were from the Qin King Li Shimin, and the only people who came to this line today were Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde and two people who needed to go to the war with King Li Yuanji, and a "former prince's direct line" and now the confidant of Emperor Li Jiancheng, Sun Wuji.
When the people from Shujing Palace arrived almost, Emperor Li Jiancheng appeared behind the hall with King Li Yuanji of Qi. Emperor Li Jiancheng looked carefully at the banquet in Shujing Palace, and basically all the people who attended the banquet in Shujing Palace were here, except for the people from King Li Shimin of Qin.
The younger brother, Li Shimin, did not give him the face of the emperor, so he was so unhappy with the elder brother Li Jiancheng, as his elder brother. However, now both sides are basically clear that the carriages and horses are going to fight against each other, so they almost led the two armies to fight and snatch them. So it doesn't matter whether the people from the King of Qin Li Shimin came. Anyway, the two people who were going to go to the battle this time were enough. Now Li Jiancheng only hopes that this plan will work successfully. Li Shimin, who has removed the two generals and many elite soldiers under his command, will definitely be seriously injured. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bend his lips and smile.
Li Jing stood in a corner of Shujing Hall and looked at Qin Shubao Cheng Yuchi Jingde not far away. He felt a little regretful and a little confused. Li Jiancheng's plan this time is well known to everyone. With the wisdom of the King of Qin and the capable and capable men under his command, how could he not see what was going on? But why did he let these two people follow him to the war?
"Shubao, Jingde, I wish you two a successful return. I hope you two will take care of yourself at the border. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will rely on the two." Li Jing said the word "take care" quite seriously. I believe that Qin Qiong and the other two should also hear it clearly and know what it means.
When Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, he captured Li Jing. Li Jing was almost beheaded. Later, the King of Qin Li Shimin came forward to plead for his life to save his life. Therefore, Li Jing was under Li Shimin's command before being granted his opening. Later, in order to slash the separatist forces of the Later Liang Xiao Xian, Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, transferred Li Jing to Kuizhou to settle Xiao Xian. Li Jing was ordered to lead several cavalry to take office. When passing through Jinzhou, he met the barbarian Deng Shiluo, leading tens of thousands of people to live in the valley. The King of Lujiang Li Yuan advanced to fight and was defeated one after another. Li Jing gave advice for the King of Lujiang and defeated the barbarian soldiers in one fell swoop, with many captives. So he successfully passed Jinzhou and arrived in Xiazhou. At this time, Xiao Xian controlled the dangerous blockage.
, again blocked and could not move forward for a long time. Li Yuan mistakenly thought that he was stranded and missed the military opportunity, so he secretly ordered Xu Shao to execute him. Xu Shao had a good relationship with King Li Shimin of Qin. He knew that Li Shimin valued Li Jing very much, and Xu Shao himself cherished his talents and asked for his life, so he was spared from death. Li Jing came to open the mansion by himself because of his merits. If Li Jing had not opened the mansion himself, he might still be a member of the mansion of General Tiance of King Li Shimin of Qin. So Li Jing still relied on King Li Shimin very much, and had a good relationship with King Li Shimin of Qin. Just this year, King Li Shimin of Qin asked him about advice because of Emperor Li Jiancheng and King Li Yuanji of Qi.
Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde are of course very familiar with Li Jing, the chief general of the Lingzhou marching. "Pharmacist, you are too worried. It's just these just Turks. I have not fought with His Highness over the years. Isn't it just that? Holding it means winning. It's very simple, there's no danger."
Seeing that Qin Shubao was pretending to be stupid, Li Jing would not continue to say this. As long as Qin Shubao was confident, it means that the King of Qin had found a way to deal with this matter. However, he was just a method that Li Shimin had never thought of. "I hope I think too much, Your Majesty, let's go to the table. This would not have a good impact on standing here."
