"Should I, Wagang, do everything possible to deal with this matter?"

"or……"

"When the time comes, let Yingchuan's Shuanglong Army..."

Then, before she could finish her words, Li Mi suddenly became sullen, raised his hand impatiently and interrupted her.

"No need to say more about this matter!"

"Luoyan..."

"Those Shuanglongs are just like the Li Clan and others, they are ambitious people. If the Turks hadn't come, I would have wanted to kill him in Yingchuan after the spring. How would I have allowed him to lead his troops across our Wagang territory?"

Any chance of joining forces with Wang Shichong?"

"Don't wait for the Turks to retreat one day. They will turn around and attack us. We will regret it later!"

Li Mi said these words with a dark face and a bit of sinisterness. After thinking about it for a while, and seeing that Shen Luoyan's face was somewhat unhappy, he turned around and smiled and said softly to comfort:

"But you don't have to think too much."

"As the saying goes, when the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. Why haven't I seen strong winds and waves?"

"Now Xu Yuanlang, the leader of the rebel army in Qi County, intends to join me in Wagang. Xu Shiren, the great knight in Rencheng County, and Zhao Tuo, the prefect of Huaiyang County, have also expressed their willingness to join us. With such a good situation, how can we mess up our position and be beaten by mere people?

Are the Turks intimidated?"

"okay."

"Since you are worried, I will leave this matter to you!"

"remember!"

"Send more manpower to Hedong Road and Guannai Road to collect intelligence. Wuyuan and Yulin counties will also have to send people to keep a close eye on them. Then when the Turks are really about to come, we will make detailed plans.

That’s the plan.”

"Just leave it like that."

After speaking, Li Mi waved his hand and gave these instructions without taking it seriously at all, as if the hundreds of thousands or more Turkic cavalry that are likely to arrive in the next spring are just a bunch of local chickens.

Like a wag?

"yes!"

"Luoyan obeys the order!"

Now that Li Mi has said that, although Shen Luoyan is very worried, what else can she do?

"Don't worry, secret minister!"

"Luoyan will handle this matter personally!"

Then, Shen Luoyan could only cheer up and said this.

After all, this matter was indeed very important. If they were not careful, they would be doomed. Therefore, she had to go out and watch it in person, but she did not dare to be as relaxed as Li Mi in front of her.

"That's good."

"I can rest assured when you do things!"

"Go for it!"

"You don't look too good, so don't work too hard. You are my military advisor in Wagang. Please pay more attention to rest?"

After nodding and caring for Shen Luoyan out of habit, Li Mi, who had no good ideas about such things, waved his hand in annoyance, indicating that Shen Luoyan could go ahead and arrange the arrangements first, and wait until a new situation arises.

It's not too late to come to him again to report and discuss.

"yes……"

"Secret Master!"

"Luoyan is retiring?"

After hesitating for a while, Shen Luoyan, who was hesitant to speak, opened her mouth. In the end, she still did not dare to express the bad thoughts in her heart. In the end, she just sighed with sadness, then bowed her hands and quietly retreated.

.

…

However, almost at the same time, when the story of the Li Clan ceding territory and trying to lure the Turks into the Central Plains was spreading in the Jianghu and various parts of the Central Plains, Li Shimin, who was supposed to be reorganizing his troops on the front line, hurried back to Chang'an and

As soon as he came back, he had a quarrel with Li Yuan, Prince Li Jiancheng and others who were discussing matters at court.

"Father!"

"You are so stupid!

"

"Fengzhou controls the river to stop thieves, which is really a belt! Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has been classified as a county and a county to guard the Great Wall. Its fields are beautiful and suitable for farming and animal husbandry. How can such important land be ceded so easily?"

"Besides!"

"After ceding the land of Wuyuan and Yulin, our capital of Chang'an and Gyeonggi will no longer have a barrier!"

"Wuyuan is 2,260 miles north of the capital. Yunzhou and Yulin are only 1,830 miles away from the capital. Once these two places are lost, there will be no obstacles to Hedong Road and Guannai Road. In addition, Fengzhou

The thousands of miles of fertile fields between Lingzhou and Lingzhou are originally flat, and the Turkic cavalry can come and go like the wind, but they can arrive overnight!"

"If this happens, the country will be in danger!"

"Whoever makes such slanderous remarks will be killed by this king!

"

As he talked, the more he talked, the more indignant he became. Qin Wang Li Shimin simply stretched out his hand and grasped the long knife at his waist, and then looked around with fierce eyes at the civil and military officials who were not successful but failed. It seemed that

Are you just waiting for someone to admit it, and then slashing people with a knife in this hall if they disagree with you?

"The traitor!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was so quiet and said something so unpleasant, Li Yuan was naturally so angry that he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, thinking straight towards the person standing at the bottom of the steps in the main hall.

The second son who wanted to draw the knife roared angrily with his beard and eyes wide open:

"You are presumptuous!

"

"Are you accusing me?!"

After all, Li Yuan is not dead yet, and he is still sitting in the position of Emperor Li Tang. It is not the other party's turn to dictate whatever decisions they make.

"..."

Similarly, Li Jiancheng, who was standing next to Li Yuan, also had a pale face and a very ugly expression.

Because he agreed with the plan when it was first proposed, and he strongly recommended it in front of Li Yuan. It can be said that the proposal was to abolish Fengzhou, exterminate its city walls, move the people to live in Lingzhou, and annex Wuyuan and Yuping.

The 'merit' of the place is his.

But now, Li Shimin strongly opposes it and wants to kill the 'flattering minister'. If that really happens, then Li Jiancheng will be the first to suffer!

"!

"

Li Shimin, who was greeted by Li Yuan's filial piety and saw Li Yuan standing up in anger, knew that Li Yuan's instructions must be among them, was startled at first, and then was slightly stunned.

Slowly and angrily, he let go of the hand holding the handle of the long knife at his waist.

"snort!"

"Fengzhou is far away. It belongs to the Turks in the first place. They communicate with each other. The officials can't restrain it and it is difficult to defend it. That's why we made this decision!"

"Currently, all the people in the two counties have migrated to Lingzhou. The Turks have also sent Dusheshe, the son of Chuluo, to lead more than ten thousand of his families to the land of Henan, and we, Li Tang, will use Lingzhou as our border."

"This matter has been decided, don't make any more false claims!"

Then, after first intimidating Li Shimin with his eyes and waiting for him to calm down, Li Yuan slowly sat back on the throne and explained this unhurriedly.

It was his second son. If other people had dared to express their filial piety here and accuse him of Li Yuan's fault, he might have been executed by the guards long ago. How could he have said anything to explain and appease him?

"this!

"

"Father!"

"Although Wuyuan, the land of Yulin, does not have a dense defense line and cannot be defended for a long time, it can at least send a timely warning to the capital region. At the same time, it can also block and delay the Turks' southward invasion, and carry out attacks on the Turks' back roads when they move south.

Attack and harass, this is a battleground for military strategists!"

"But now the land of Wuyuan and Yulin has been handed over to others. If the Turks invade from Lingzhou southward in the future, what should they do to plunder the states in the pass?"

Although there was no room for redemption, Li Shimin, who was so angry that his face turned red and wanted to kill someone, still argued with him.

"You can rest assured about this!"

"We have made an agreement with the Turks. They will not raid the states in the pass. Instead, they will go straight into the Central Plains to fight against the rebel kings!"

"Besides..."
To be continued...
