When Li Shimin heard that Li Chengqian was surrounded by Xue Yantuo's 200,000 troops, he was anxious, so he hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss the imperial commander's personal expedition.

However, after Li Daozong and Hou Junji asked for a fight, Li Shimin calmed down. The more he was, the more stability and balance needed inside and outside the court. He and Li Chengqian were not in Chang'an City, and the court's civil and military leaders had to keep whom he would take.

However, these can be delayed first, and Li Shimin must arrange the first group of troops to send troops first.

Half an hour later, the ministers in the side hall were summoned into the Liangyi Hall by Li Shimin.

As soon as Li Daozong and Hou Junji entered the hall, they saw that Li Shimin had recovered from peace, but their eyes were still bloodshot, which was caused by anger.

The main hall was also cleaned up, and Li Shiji stood in the hall and waited for the ministers to come in to salute Li Shimin and return to his seat according to his class.

As soon as everyone sat down, they saw Hou Junji walking to the center of the hall and asking for battle again to Li Shimin: "My husband Hou Ji originally intended to lead his troops into the wilderness to attack the unjust ministers, please give your order."

Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "I have a strategy for destroying Xue Yantuo." After saying that, he turned around and signaled to the eunuch to announce the eunuch.

The eunuch hurriedly took out a roll of colorful satin and solemnly pulled it apart and proclaimed the imperial edict: "The imperial edict said: The ancient emperors had conquered the expedition. Yao fought against Danpu, Shun attacked Youmiao, King Wen suppressed Li, and Cheng Tang conquered Ge. How could these four kings enjoy combing the wind and rain, and exhausting the troops? They thought that they would not kill the cruelty and turn into unconciliation, and they would not eliminate the rioters. Xue Yantuo was originally a barbarian in the northern desert. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks and made them the leader of the barbarians. However, the devil's heart and beastly nature did not want to repay the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, but they wanted to be a trouble for China.

The year before yesterday, he sent troops to attack Monan, and later he humbled his poems to seek marriage. I felt that the world was at its beginning and could not bear to raise troops, obeyed the heavens and responded to the people, and surrendered the favor of heaven and allowed the princess to comfort her heart.

The crown prince Chengqian went to Lingzhou with the country as the most important thing, summoned the barbarian chief to transform De.

Unexpectedly, the jackal was also fierce and stubborn. The soldiers surrounded Chengqian and wanted to threaten the Tang Dynasty. Such evil deeds had already attracted the anger of the gods and would be abandoned by heaven and earth.

I was ordered by heaven not to kill these stubborn people and destroy the beasts of the beasts, and later I would be sent by heaven. Therefore, I decided to personally conquer Xue Yantuo, and now I sent several generals in the court to seek help from Chengqian.

The cavalry of the commander of Yingzhou, Zhang Jian, and Xi, Wu and Khitan, were appointed to suppress Xueyantuo's eastern territory; the Minister of War Li Shiji was appointed as the general manager of the Shuozhou Road, with 60,000 soldiers and 1,200 cavalry to help Changze; the General of the Right Guard Li Daliang was appointed as the general manager of the Lingzhou Road, with 40,000 soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to help Changze; the General of the Right Guard Zhang Shigui, the general manager of the Qingzhou Road, was appointed as the general manager of the Qingzhou Road, and was cut off his way back; the General of the Liangzhou Road, Li Xiyu was appointed as the general manager of the Liangzhou Road, and went out of the western territory."

After the eunuch recited Li Shimin's imperial edict, the ministers were stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed solemnly, and shouted: "My emperor is wise."

This is just that behind the advance troops, Li Shimin must send out more troops and horses in person, so the general who was not ordered to lead the troops was not in a hurry.

This time, Li Shimin's five armies came out together, and there were three routes starting from Chang'an, namely Li Shiji, Li Daliang and Zhang Shigui.

Although the three of them were all marching generals, Li Shiji was the Minister of War, but Li Shiji was respected when they encountered problems. However, the three of them also understood that Li Shimin did not arrange Li Daliang and Zhang Shigui as deputy generals, and they all had to be directly led by Li Shimin.

--------------------------------

Li Shimin arranged a formation in Chang'an City and vowed to destroy Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop, which shocked the world.

A large tent stood in an inconspicuous valley outside Lingwu City according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. The army led by Li Chengqian quietly came to the outside of Lingwu City to station here.

It took a few days to snow, and the wind suddenly stopped and the sun rose early this morning. Li Chengqian wore a fox fur and a hood with his generals patrolled the military camp in the bright sunshine.

"Have the people sent to see Zhao Daoxing back yesterday?" Li Chengqian asked while walking.

Wang Qun, who was following him, hurriedly replied: "Go back to the Crown Prince, I haven't come back yet. I think it's too much snow on the road and it's hard to walk."

Zhao Daoxing was the son of Zhao Cai, the general of the Right Martial Law of the Sui Dynasty, and now he holds the position of the Grand Governor of Lingzhou.

During the Tang Dynasty, the governor's offices in the northern part were divided into three levels. The Grand Governor's Office was generally located in important border towns and managed tens of thousands of soldiers. The Central Governor's Office and the Small Governor's Office were generally located in ethnic minority settlement areas, which led the restricted states within the territory with fewer troops. For example, the Xiazhou Governor's Office was a Central Governor's Office.

Lingzhou Governor's Office is located in Lingwu County. It is the northernmost governor's office on the inner road of Datang Pass, and it is also the governor's office facing Xue Yantuo.

The governor's office of Lingzhou was mainly the surrendered Turkic tribe. It turned out that the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Turkic tribe all lived in Lingzhou after surrendering.

Li Chengqian's secret came here to eliminate Li Simo and Yi Nan, but even if both of them were injured, it would be difficult to gather and annihilate them.

Therefore, Li Chengqian was preparing to mobilize the troops from the Lingzhou Governor's Office to dispatch together to ensure that Xue Yantuo and the main forces of the Turks were eliminated.

--------------------------------

There is also a large tent in a valley hundreds of miles from Lingwu County to the north. This is the main force of the Turkic led by Li Simo.

Since the news that Bazhuo besieged Changze County, Li Simo took off the helmet of Tang Jun wearing him in Chang'an and restored his disheveled Turkic outfit.

Although it was still snowing outside the tent, the charcoal fire in the tent was burning strongly, and the copper wine pot on it was steaming. Li Simo and Lu Zhi sat opposite each other, holding a wine glass in their hands, but their face was like ice cubes outside the tent.

But Li Simo and Lu Zhi in the tent both looked gloomy as cold as the cold ice.

"Bang"

Li Simo suddenly dropped the wine glass in his hand and asked loudly: "Tian Khan wants to send troops to Ba Zhuo himself, but Li Chengqian is still safe and sound in Changze City?"

Lu Zhi changed his past deep and insidiousness and said with a daze: "That's it!"

Li Simo became more and more angry as he thought about it. He suddenly stood up and stared at Lu Zhi with a high voice and said, "That old fox Yinan has been staying by the river and not coming south?"

Lu Zhi lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Li Simo walked back and forth in the tent a few times, closed his eyes, and said as if he accepted his fate: "Tomorrow, the men of the whole clan set out to attack the Yi Nan's camp."

Lu Zhi was frightened when he heard this and knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Sweat, it is a big taboo to march in the snow. The Yi Nan refused to move south and was obviously guarding against us. If we waited for this time, we would fall into his trap. The Turkic clan..."

When Li Simo saw that he was still making his own small plan at this time, he was too lazy to even look at him, and said coldly: "Tian Khan ordered us to help the crown prince destroy Xue Yantuo. If this achievement is achieved, why worry about the Turkic clan having no place to establish a foothold?

You acted smart and leaked the news to Yi Nan, and then watched Bazhuo besieging the crown prince.

Now that Tian Khan is sending troops, will the Turkic clan still watch Yi Nan escape unscathed?"

When Lu Zhi heard this, he understood that once the Tang Dynasty knew that they had betrayed Li Chengqian, they would have to wait for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the clan.

Now, if they fight with Yi Nan, they can still blame Xue Yantuo. If they join forces with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Xue Yantuo this time, they might be able to go to Mobei to graze...

But they are not Xue Yantuo's opponents...
