Chapter 207 The little actions of the Turks

Three months have passed since the release of Zhang Nan's newspaper, and it has come November, and the weather is getting colder and colder. After Zhang Nan's three months, the "Da Tang Daily" has become an indispensable thing for the people of Chang'an City every day. Even if everyone still doesn't know how to read, going to the East and West City to listen to newspapers every morning has become a compulsory course for most people of Chang'an City every day.

The newspaper has already gotten on the right track under Zhang Nan's leadership. Ma Zhou, Zhou Xing and Wang Ke in the newspaper have also grown very fast in three months. Now the newspaper does not need Zhang Nan to intervene too much. Zhang Nan quietly waits for the Tang Dynasty to fight with the Turks so that he can have something to do. Only when a large number of Turks are captured from the grassland can Zhang Nan start the next step better.

Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he gave Li Er to let him agree to study in the military academy. This made Zhang Nan very surprised. However, Li Chengqian was not idle in the military academy because when he entered the military academy, the trainees' recruitment training was almost over, and Li Chengqian could not delay the training during the day, so Cheng Huaimo and the others could only train for Li Chengqian at night. Li Chengqian was so tired that he complained, but Li Chengqian did not withdraw.

Just after Zhang Nan had already become accustomed to the dull and boring morning court every day, some accidents occurred in the court today.

Just as Zhang Nan was drowsy and listened to Changsun Wuji's report to Li Er about the problems he had seen the officials recently, the gate of the Tai Chi Hall was pushed open, and the cold wind suddenly rushed into the Tai Chi Hall, which was lit with the stove. Zhang Nan shrank his neck so cold that Zhang Nan turned his head and looked at it. The man actually brought his armor into the Tai Chi Hall, which made Zhang Nan a little curious.

During the period, the man first gave Li Er a gift, and then said: "Emperor, the Eastern Turkic generals Yarkin and Asunatur led their troops to disturb Hexi. Zhang Shigui, the garrison general of Suzhou, and Zhang Bao, the garrison general of Ganzhou, led their troops to form a horn to form a force to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, use the city to block the Turkic cavalry, and ask the emperor to send troops to support and attack the Turkic."

When Li Er heard this, he was furious.

"Bastard, is he bullying me, the Tang Dynasty, no generals? How dare he invade my Tang Dynasty territory like this?" Li Er said with his eyes wide open.

Cheng Yaojin and other military generals heard that the Turks had invaded the Tang Dynasty. They all jumped out as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Emperor, I ask to lead troops to war and give you some color to Yarkin and Ashindul. Since they are coming, I have the ability to make them unable to leave." Cheng Yaojin stood up and bowed.

"Emperor, I request to lead troops to war. If the emperor sends me to fight, I will definitely bring the heads of the two thief generals back to see the emperor." Yuchi Gong also stood up and said.

Hou Junji then stood up and said something similar. However, Li Jing, as the Minister of War, did not make any statement, but just stood aside and pretended to be a quail. Now his contribution is already high enough. Unless Li Er called his name, Li Jing would not take the initiative to jump out and lead his troops to the war.

The Prince of Hejian Li Xiaogong, like Li Jing, stood aside and didn't speak.

Zhang Nan stood aside and just listened. Zhang Nan had already known about the Turks' invasion of the Tang Dynasty now. This was just that the Turks were a little afraid that the Tang Dynasty would attack them in winter, so they ran to the border of the Tang Dynasty to make trouble, so Li Er knew that the Turks still had the power to fight. This time, the Turks' invasion of Suzhou and Ganzhou was just pretending, and it was not the idea of ​​siegeing cities and plundering land.

The Turks are now in chaos. Due to years of war and natural disasters such as frost and drought, the Turks have exhausted and thinned their animals. Many sheep and horses were frozen to death and starved to death. Xueyantuo, Huihe, Bayegu, and the Luo tribes also took the opportunity to resist, jointly proclaiming the leader of Xueyantuo Yinan as Zhenzhu Khan, and accepting the title of Li Er. The second khan of the Eastern Turks, Tuli Khan, was suppressed and excluded by Jie Li Khan for a long time, also secretly contacted the Tang Dynasty and expressed his willingness to submit.

Although Li Er did not tell Zhang Nan about the news of the surrender, Zhang Nan also knew about it.

Li Er looked at the officials below and skipped the general who asked for battle, and his eyes directly turned on Zhang Nan, who was shrinking his neck to keep warm. When Li Er decided to send troops in spring, Zhang Nan would stop him from sending troops. Now that the Turks have invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, why is Zhang Nan still indifferent?

"Qingquan, what do you think? Tell me about it." Li Er asked while sitting on the dragon chaise.

When Zhang Nan heard Li Er call his name, he had to stand out and bow, "I have no idea when I say back to the emperor."

When Li Eryi heard Zhang Nan's appearance, he laughed and scolded: "Bastard, what are you saying? As an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can you have no idea about this?"

"This, the emperor, you insist on what I say. I think it's better to station troops now. The Turks are just clamoring and clamoring. There will be no problem in Suzhou and Ganzhou. They just shouted outside the city and went back." Zhang Nan bowed.

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Li Er still didn't have a long memory and continued to ask Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan also looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that he had seen it in the system long ago.

Seeing Zhang Nan's appearance, Li Er already knew what Zhang Nan said next, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to explain it to me. Just tell me when it's best to send troops."

Zhang Nan continued to bow and said, "It's very simple to return to the emperor. When the first snow falls in Chang'an City, it is a good time for us to send troops. I believe that the emperor has arranged the troops and generals, so I won't say much. This year, there will be snow disasters in the grasslands of the Turks, and the cattle, sheep and horses of the Turks will freeze to death in large quantities. This is the best time for us to send troops."

"You all heard it, so don't worry, this Turkic person can't jump for a few days, so everyone should act according to the original arrangement." Li Er smiled and looked at his excited generals one by one.

In fact, time is very close. In real history, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, wrote a letter to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and listed six reasons for sending troops to the Turks. Emperor Taizong of Tang used the excuse of the Turks attacking Hexi, and ordered troops to divide six groups to send troops to wipe out the Eastern Turks on the 23rd. After Zhang Nan came, the major historical trend would not change too much. The Turks were destroyed in the first month, which would be much easier than in history.

Now it's only more than a month since the fourth year, and the reasons for sending troops and the forces have been arranged long ago. Now Li Er is quietly waiting for the first heavy snowfall in Chang'an City.
