The land belongs to it, so from Shuofang to Guanzhong, the vast grassland, the Chen family desperately threw money into it. The countless lands have rails, new cities, and stations.

There are newly built inns and stables in the station. The preparatory cargo warehouses have now been laid. The craftsmen have laid a lot of beams and pillars, and are still under intense construction.

Suddenly, so many people came, and the owner of the local inn hurriedly came out. He smiled. Obviously, his business was relatively deserted before, and the reason why the inn was open was just to bet on future profits.

For the first time, Li Shimin saw such a diligent merchant, and followed the merchant into the inn. The merchant said, "The noble man must be here to inspect the rails, haha... I dare to ask what the noble man wants to eat?"

The guy beside him had already served Li Shimin tea.

Li Shimin sat upright, holding a teacup, looked at the merchant and said, "Is there any business here?"

"Yes, of course, there are, but there are fewer people now. However, compared to when it was open in the past, there were a lot more people. Not only were there more herders nearby, but occasionally there were some fleets of transporting materials to pass through this place, which was barely enough to survive."

"As for the future..." The boss became excited. When he spoke, his eyes were illuminated. He just smiled stiffly on his face, but now he has become sincere.

He continued: "As for the future, it may be different. The road is built, and the carriages and horses will not stop. Within three days, you can reach Shuofang from Guanzhong. Do you know what this means? If you are in Guanzhong, even if you go to the prefectures and counties next to Chang'an, it will take this time, let alone... you have to carry a large number of goods. Not to mention that there are many specialties in the grassland that are not found in the Central Plains. How much will the goods transported from time to time? I bought a piece of land here and spent seven or eight yuan. This acre of land is only a big money, which is equivalent to

I gave it for free, but I bought this place, but it required that the building must be built within one year. Otherwise, it would be confiscated. Therefore, I built an inn here at Xuanwu Station. Oh, and the warehouse under construction in the distance is also my family. After the pass, I put all my wealth in Xuanwu Station. In this grassland, if Shuofang really flourishes in the future, and the stations everywhere can also benefit from it, I can naturally get a share of the pie and earn a lot of money. But if I can't get up in the end, I will admit it."

This boss is obviously not someone with a lot of wealth, he is just a Xiaofu Family.

Perhaps the transaction in the relationship is too intense, so I can't help feeling a little melancholy.

But this grassland is an opportunity for someone like him. He seizes the opportunity, but whether he succeeds or not can only be left to fate, or... it depends on the Chen family.

Li Shimin listened and nodded. Most of the people who can come out of Guanzhong are quite enterprising. He likes such people, just like a restless self.

The inn asked the people to cook some dishes, and then the large plate of mutton was served.

The boss said: "This is the best lamb meat, and it is now killed. It is not worth much money in the grassland, but in Guanzhong, it is not something that ordinary people can afford."

Li Shimin was interested and had enough food and drink, but at this moment, noisy sounds were made outside.

After a moment, hurried footsteps came, and someone shouted, "It's not good, it's not good."

Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai subconsciously stood up, and after hearing this, he looked at each other. Li Shimin turned around and saw that it was Zhang Qian who was not good.

Zhang Qian was so scared that his face turned pale. When he arrived in front of Li Shimin, he hurriedly saluted and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The big thing is not good. The shepherds... sent out warning messages, saying yes... said yes... a large number of Turkic people rushed towards the vicinity of Xuanwu Station. There were thousands of people coming, and they could not count them. They were like clouds and sunshine. Some shepherds approached and checked them, but they were killed. I noticed something was wrong on the ranch, so they immediately called the fast horse, and while setting off wolf smoke, they asked someone to come to Xuanwu Station to report the news."

After hearing this, Li Shimin's face turned cold!

He held his hands behind his back, but he said calmly: "There are not many people who know about my tour. Who is the news?"

Li Shimin only planned to come out for a while, so he just couldn't come out in the palace. This situation is also very common. After all, as long as Li Shimin is willing, he can cut off the palace city and the outer court, and all officials cannot inquire about what happened in the palace.

But no one thought that... the Turks came.

How could it be so coincidental? This situation was clearly aimed at Li Shimin.

Chen Zhengtai's face looked ugly, and without thinking much, he said, "Please return south immediately."

Li Shimin stared at Zhang Qian and asked, "Where are the Turks?"

Zhang Qian said with a bitter face: "When the news was reported, it was still a hundred miles away, but now, I am afraid it has been nearly thirty or forty miles, at least... his forward should have arrived."

After hearing this, Li Shimin lowered his head and walked.

In fact, he was extremely angry at this moment.

Who leaked the news?

Who... can quickly convey the message to the Turks?

So how can the Turks... be convinced by those who report the news?

There are too many questions in this.

How many people in this world can accomplish these three things?

Li Shimin closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a moment, and a murderous aura flashed through his eyes.

Chen Zhengtai was a little anxious. If he could still calm down when encountering such a big thing, he would be a madman.

Chen Zhengtai said, "Your Majesty, my son, let's go south quickly."

Li Shimin shook his head and said coldly: "It's too late. No matter how fast the carriage is, can it be faster than the flying cavalry of the Turkic vanguard? What's more... Since the Turkic people are determined to win, they must have divided their troops and encircled left and right. What we have to face now is their vanguard. If we go south, maybe a large number of surrounding Turkic people are waiting for us in the south. Although the Turkic people may not know about the troops, once they attack, they will not be unprepared for such things."

After saying that, he said sternly: "No matter how dangerous it is, I have encountered it. At this time, you must not be impatient. You must first know yourself and your enemy before you can have vitality. Don't be afraid. Although this is a major event that is at stake, it is not yet at the end of your life and death."

In fact, at this time, many people were already panicked. Whether it was Zhang Qian or the guards, Li Shimin's words seemed to have magic power, which made people feel a little calmer.

Li Shimin walked a few steps and then said, "Once the Turks decide to go out, they will definitely come out in full swing, because if they cannot hit this time, the Tuli Khan will die without a place to bury him. Therefore... he will never leave any remaining strength. There are 40,000 households in the Turkic tribe, and the strong men are roughly around 30,000. If there is no room for room, there will be 30,000 iron cavalry. Of course, there are also some tribes that are scattered in nomadic places. In a hurry, they may not be able to collect immediately. Then... the number of people is roughly between 16,700 and 10,000..."

It seems that the more dangerous Li Shimin is, the calmer and more sober he is!

Li Shimin then said: "The Turkic tactics are simple. If I were the Tuli Khan, I would have divided the troops into three groups and surrounded the left and right... Then... the number of people on both sides of the left and right should be around three to five thousand, and the number of people in the unit will be between 11,200. Along the way... they are coming in a hurry, and it may not be possible to say that people are trapped and lack horses. If we flee in a hurry now, they will definitely pursue them. Then the one who should be on guard against the most is their two-winged people."

"So... the current plan is not to go back to Guanzhong. If they are heading towards Guanzhong, they will fulfill their wishes. Now the only way to live is to head north towards Shuofang. Yes, it is time to continue to go to Shuofang, but... they were originally coming to Shuofang..."

Li Shimin murmured, but fell into deep thought.

Shuofang...If you continue to go to Shuofang, wouldn't you encounter the Turks head-on?

What is the difference between this and dying?

Zhang Qian began to tremble again.

But Chen Zhengtai suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there are not a lot of laborers building wooden tracks thirty miles ahead? What if I can meet with them?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin showed disdain: "What's the use of some labor? These Turks are all cavalrymen. They grew up on horseback since childhood and are brave and good at fighting. In front of the Turks, these labors are just like the rotten wood that can be slaughtered."

Chen Zhengtai said unwillingly: "My son... has practiced with them, and now this is the only way."

Li Shimin suddenly felt that Chen Zhengtai's words were quite naive.

In his opinion, Chen Zhengtai obviously did not know that even though a group of craftsmen and laborers practiced some, they could not fight against the Turkic cavalry on the grassland.

What's more, the Turkish cavalry were more than several times the laborers.

Such a gap is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

His student and his son-in-law have never experienced a real big battle after all. Not to mention the difference in number, the difference between military and military horses is often very different.

It's just that things are coming...

Li Shimin thought about it and finally said, "But there is, it's better than not. Besides, the laborers are building roads outside. Once the Turks take us, they will inevitably attack them. Let them come to Xuanwu Station immediately to make peace. Zhang Qian, send some guards and Pegasus out to investigate."

Li Shimin immediately ordered Chen Zhengtai, "If you don't get ready, you can only break out of the siege. Remember, at that time, you must follow me tightly, and you must not hesitate at all. The opportunity is fleeting. Once you miss it, you will fall into the chaos and will never get out again. Zhengtai..."

Li Shimin seemed to be not caring about his own safety. He was an adventurer. The more he was at this time, the more he was cold. But at this moment, he looked at Chen Zhengtai with a little concern. Today, even Li Shimin would have a life of death. As for this son-in-law and student, he knew that Chen Zhengtai was negligent in riding and shooting on weekdays, and in the chaos, he was simply a lamb to be slaughtered. Although he repeatedly told Chen Zhengtai not to fall off the team, he knew that he was a life of death. By then, Chen Zhengtai would almost die! Breaking through the siege requires superb equestrianism, a strong body, and a lot of experience in the enemy. Even Li Shimin was not sure, let alone... it was him Chen Zhengtai!

Chen Zhengtai's mind buzzed for a moment, break through? I broke through your uncle, is I Chen Zhengtai the kind of person who broke through the siege in the chaos?

He frowned...

But at this Xuanwu Station, wolf smoke had already risen.

This is not the wolf smoke released by Li Shimin, Chen Zhengtai and others, but the message sent immediately after the officer at Xuanwu Station received the alarm!

This is a message requesting rescue, indicating that the situation is already very urgent.

Chen Zhengtai seemed to have thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, we are worse than..."

"Don't think too much." Li Shimin withdrew his gaze. He looked at Chen Zhengtai kindly, and then he felt a little tragic: "Although I am the emperor, in my heart, I have always regarded myself as a general. The general died on the battlefield, but there is no regret."

"At this time, you must be calm. If you run away in a hurry, it will be just a waste of your energy. Apart from this, there is no meaning. Let's take a break and nourish your spirits. It's noon. As long as you get through it and wait until it gets dark, even if there are Turkic people on all sides, you may not be able to kill them."

Even Chen Zhengtai, who is usually resourceful, couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, it's better to listen to the advice of professionals at this time. In this world, the only professional person in this kind of thing is probably Li Shimin.

So he obediently said, "Here."

…………

In fact, before the wolf smoke rose from Xuanwu Station, the nearby wolf smoke had already burned one by one.

On this huge construction site, countless craftsmen and laborers are working diligently.

Chen Zhengye looked at the map all night last night and confirmed the location with some technicians, so he was still sleeping soundly in the tent.

I didn't stay in this comfortable bed for too long, but I was quickly woken up.

"Wolf smoke, wolf smoke... is rising, it is the direction of Xuanwu Station. Something happened, something happened..."

Something happened...

Chen Zhengye was shocked, then ran out of the tent and looked into the sky from afar. There was no blockage on the grassland, and the black smoke in the sky could be seen at a glance.

Chen Zhengye's mind was blank.

In fact, over the days, Shuofang has heard several warnings, expressing his concern for the Turks, so Chen Zhengye is also quite concerned about this.

But now seeing the anxious wolf smoke, he immediately realized that the worst possible situation... had happened.

He could imagine that once the craftsmen and laborers working in this wilderness were surrounded by Turks, they would be turtles in a jar, and no one could escape.

Chen Zhengye yelled without hesitation: "Let everyone stop their work, immediately pass on the orders, prepare the carriages and horses, and let everyone... gather!"

then……

“Get together!

"Gathering..."
Chapter completed!
