Chapter 5: Luo Yi rebels, Turks move south

"Your Majesty."

Su Liang then points to the north.

"The beef and mutton of the Turks are very fat, aren't they?"

Su Liang laughs.

"Poetry is not suitable for Your Majesty, I have a sentence to send to Your Majesty."

"Do not call yourself a subject, do not pay tribute, do not marry, do not cede land, do not pay compensation!"

"The Son of Heaven guards the country's gate, the monarch dies for the country!"

Su Liang smiles slightly.

Then turns to look at His Majesty Li Er.

Continues to say softly.

"What does Your Majesty think?"

His Majesty Li Er is silent.

His deep gaze stares directly at Su Liang.

Instantly, the courtyard is strangely quiet, one could hear a pin drop!

Just now, everyone was still in high spirits, talking and laughing.

At this moment, even breathing is stagnant.

Everyone looks at His Majesty Li Er.

Not knowing what His Majesty Li Er's reaction will be.

Now that Su Liang has said this.

It undoubtedly touches the thorn in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

Everyone present remembers that thing from two years ago.

The seventh year of Wude, the Turks invaded.

The Turkic army of one hundred thousand moved south all the way, like a broken bamboo.

At that time, Li Er, who was still the Qin Prince, met the Turkic army in Ningzhou.

Led one hundred personal guards to talk with the Turkic leader.

After the alliance, the Turkic army withdrew.

That year.

Li Er called himself a subject and paid tribute!

"Son-in-law, what does this mean?"

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er exhales a breath of turbid air heavily.

His Majesty Li Er's deep eyes stare at Su Liang.

Su Liang laughs.

"This is the Great Tang in my ideal, I want to tell Your Majesty and everyone."

"Our vast Great Tang should have a national policy."

"Do not call yourself a subject, do not pay tribute, do not marry, do not cede land, do not pay compensation!"

"The Son of Heaven guards the country's gate, the monarch dies for the country!"

"Those who offend the Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Our Great Tang people should have this backbone!"

Calling himself a subject and paying tribute two years ago.

Will always be the pain in Li Er's heart.

It is even regarded by him as the shame of his life!

Thinking of it again now.

Li Er's eyes are already scarlet, his fists clenched.

His body is trembling uncontrollably!

Everyone present hears Su Liang's words.

Also feels heroic in their hearts.

The Great Tang they want is exactly like this!

After a while.

"Fuji, help me draft a decree, set the national policy!"

"Do not call yourself a subject, do not pay tribute, do not marry, do not cede land, do not pay compensation!"

"The Son of Heaven guards the country's gate, the monarch dies for the country!"

"From today on, those who offend our Great Tang, even if they are far away, must be punished!"

"Hu..." Li Er takes a deep breath after saying this.

Then looks at Su Liang and says.

"Regarding that thing two years ago, how does son-in-law see it?"

"What is past is past, and I only look at the future!"

Su Liang laughs.

"Only by looking forward can Your Majesty create the golden age of the Great Tang!"

"Besides... doesn't Your Majesty already have the plan to attack the Eastern Turks this year?"

Su Liang stands tall, pointing to the country word by word.

Li Er shows a surprised look at Su Liang.

"Su kid, how do you know I want to attack the Eastern Turks this year?"

Su Liang laughs.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, haven't you already planned it?"

"Two years ago, the internal chaos of the Great Tang was initially settled, and it needed to recuperate, and the people couldn't bear the suffering of war."

"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, it is a good opportunity to wash away the shame."

"Hehe..."

"I didn't expect son-in-law to have such deep foresight."

His Majesty Li Er takes a deep breath, feeling shocked by this.

It can be considered as acknowledging Su Liang's statement.

The Duke and ministers are also the same.

The plan to use troops against the Turks is known to very few people.

But Su Liang only guessed it, and was able to draw such a conclusion.

Looking at this child's mind, it is truly terrifying.

And Li Er looks at Su Liang for a while, and continues:

"Then son-in-law, tell me, if the war is about to start, what is the winning rate of our Great Tang?"

"Ten percent!"

Su Liang says calmly.

"In the Battle of Hulao Pass, didn't Your Majesty lead three thousand Black Armor troops to break Dou Jiande's one hundred thousand troops, the Turks' mere forty thousand troops are not worth worrying about!"

"Now our Great Tang has sixty thousand troops!"

"Your Majesty has been planning for a long time, how could you lose?"

Su Liang asks back.

His Majesty Li Er cannot help but recall the past.

Recalling the time when he conquered the world.

Instantly, he is full of blood.

He, the Great Tang Emperor Li Er, is an emperor on horseback.

Most of the territory of the Great Tang was fought down by him, the emperor on horseback, leading everyone!

Then he stares at Su Liang, his eyes full of longing.

He is more and more satisfied with this son-in-law!

"But you kid really knows how to talk big, those forty thousand troops of the Eastern Turks are not to be trifled with."

"I'm afraid..." Su Liang speaks slowly.

"Oh, what is son-in-law worried about?" Li Er is confused.

"Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, I'm afraid the Turks will move south, I hope Your Majesty will prepare early."

He can't tell him that history books are written like this.

According to the historical trajectory, the Eastern Turks will move south in less than a month.

"Good, good, good, I will have people pay close attention to the Eastern Turks tomorrow."

"Son-in-law, tell me why the Great Tang has a ten percent winning rate, and what to do to have a ten percent winning rate."

Li Er is full of excitement, staring at Su Liang, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

"Your Majesty now has the Zhenguan plow and sweet potatoes and potatoes, tomorrow you can invite the people outside Changan City to try the new plow, and then personally explain the method of eating sweet potatoes and potatoes, the yield per unit of land, and the planting method. The current Emperor's words are golden, the people will definitely believe Your Majesty."

"Now Your Majesty also has a business, which can be said to be making ten thousand guan a day, why not exempt the people from taxes for three years, after three years, every household will have surplus grain, and then collect taxes."

"If there are foreign enemies invading, not to mention that our Great Tang soldiers won't agree, our Great Tang people won't agree either."

"From now on, our Great Tang army and people are of one heart, how can we lose, and how could we lose?"

"As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if the people are full, no one will rebel. Whoever can make the people full is a wise monarch for all eternity."

"Since ancient times, the people are water, the monarch is the boat, water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. Your Majesty should value the people and treat the monarch lightly."

Su Liang points to the country word by word, and the crowd dares not disturb him.

"Alright, let's not discuss politics for now, as the saying goes, there is a long way to go, I will hand over the sweet potatoes and potatoes and the planting method to Your Majesty later."

"Come, let's not return until we are drunk today!"

"Good, not return until drunk!"

"Good, not return until drunk!"

"Good, not return until drunk!"

Everyone agrees one after another.

Until midnight, everyone left, unfortunately, they were carried away.

Everyone underestimated Drunk Tang!

At the same time.

Su Liang's ice shop business is getting better and better.

One hundred thousand jin of ice cubes every day, sold out within an hour, making ten thousand guan a day!

More and more ice shops are opening all over the country, the brewery is brewing wine, the restaurant is being renovated, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Time passes quietly.

The ninth year of Wude, August 15th.

The defender of Xiaoguan, Luo Yi, led three thousand Youzhou troops to occupy Jingzhou.

At the same time, the Eastern Turkic army of more than twenty thousand moved south along Qingzhou and Ningzhou.

The main general of Binzhou, Zhang Jin, fled without fighting, and the deputy general Feng Li and two thousand soldiers fought to the death.

Binzhou is in an emergency!

The next day, August 16th.

Inside the Liangyi Hall of the Taiji Palace.

The morning court was as usual.

But today.

The court was dead silent!

The Turkic army had already broken through Binzhou, and the twenty thousand army had already been stationed on the banks of the Wei River.

At this time, the available troops in Changan City were less than fifty thousand...

The Great Tang encountered the biggest crisis since the founding of the nation!

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

The Duke and ministers were all looking bitter and thoughtful.

"Hu..." Li Er took a deep breath.

"You are all Duke and ministers, tell me how to defeat the twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks."

His Majesty Li Er looked at the crowd with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, now the twenty thousand army of the Eastern Turks is stationed on the banks of the Wei River."

"Our Great Tang has fifty thousand elite troops in Changan City, I think we can fight!"

"What we need to worry about now is Jingzhou, where there are three thousand Youzhou troops led by Luo Yi."

The person speaking is the Duke of Hu of the Great Tang.

Left Martial Guard General Qin Qiong!

At this moment.

Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, and a group of military generals were all full of anger and killing intent.

But at this time, Cheng Yaojin stepped forward slowly.

Facing His Majesty Li Er, he bowed slightly.

Then he spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I think Luo Yi's three thousand troops are not worth worrying about."

"I think the fifty thousand troops of General Li Jing, the Great Governor of Lingzhou, have already rushed to the Ningzhou boundary."

"At this moment, they should be watching Luo Yi's army."

"Luo Yi's three thousand Youzhou troops are strong in combat, but General Li Jing's fifty thousand troops are not to be trifled with either!"

After hearing this, the crowd.

The atmosphere in the entire hall also eased slightly.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er also narrowed his eyes into a line, not knowing what he was thinking...

The crowd was about to continue speaking.

But they saw His Majesty Li Er wave his hand, signaling the crowd not to say more.

"Hmph!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, full of killing aura.

"Luo Yi, that little brat, is looking for death!"

"Wang De, go invite the Prince of Chu, Su Liang, to the hall!"

At this time, in the Hibiscus Garden.

Su Liang is lying on a rocking chair, Yu'er is massaging his feet, Ruyan is massaging his shoulders, it is very comfortable.

"Ding: The system detects the host's current situation, the Turkic army has broken through Binzhou, the twenty thousand army has been stationed on the banks of the Wei River, the people of the Great Tang are in danger."

"The system issues the latest task: request troops to go on an expedition and defeat the Turkic army."

"To protect the host, the system rewards the host with a piece of peerless Bright Armor, a piece of Overlord Heaven-Splitting Bow."

"System reminds the host: peerless Bright Armor, forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, bright silver all over, indestructible! Overlord Heaven-Splitting Bow, forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, pitch black all over, this bow is an eighteen-stone hard bow, with an effective range of five hundred steps!"

An hour later, inside the Liangyi Hall of the Taiji Palace.

"Son-in-law, now that the twenty thousand Turkic army is stationed on the banks of the Wei River, do you have a strategy to defeat the Turkic enemy?"

Li Er stares at Su Liang, his eyes full of longing.

Su Liang takes a long breath and speaks slowly.

"My suggestion is to feign peace talks, but actually launch a strong attack!"

"And during the peace talks, Your Majesty can meet with the Turkic Jieli Khan."

"As long as it is within five hundred steps, your humble servant can shoot and kill the Turkic Jieli Khan with one arrow."

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became inexplicably stagnant.

Five hundred steps, terrifying to think about!

"As long as the Turkic Jieli Khan dies, the Turkic army will inevitably be in chaos."

"Please Your Majesty and the Duke and ministers move outside the hall to witness your humble servant's archery, so that everyone can rest assured!"

After a while.

The guards prepared ten sheep.

Su Liang also took out the Overlord Heaven-Splitting Bow.

Holding the bow in one hand.

Pulling the string with one hand.

Five hundred steps away.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Accompanied by arrows piercing the void.

The ten running sheep were all shot in the head.

Seeing this, everyone was sweating coldly!

Then a few death row prisoners were brought over.

It was the same.

"What your humble servant said just now, shooting Jieli Khan is just an appetizer."

"What follows is the most critical priority; once Jieli Khan dies, the army will inevitably be in chaos."

"At that time, you can send various armies to carry out effective ambushes and pursuits when the Turks retreat and flee to the north."

At this moment, Su Liang's tone is already extremely cold!

"Good, good, good, this plan is wonderful!"

His Majesty Li Er laughs.

"I appoint you as the General Manager of the Jingji Circuit Army, and let the son-in-law explain the specific arrangements to the Duke and ministers!"

Although the General Manager of the Army is only a wartime position, it is also handing over the safety of Changan City to Su Liang.

Handing over the command of this battle to defeat the Turkic army to Su Liang with full authority.

Just this trust is enough to make people shocked!

Li Er waves his hand.

Signaling Su Liang to arrange his plans.

At this moment, on the huge table in front of everyone, there is a map of the Jingji Circuit of the Great Tang.

The closer Jingyang County, the farther Sanyuan County and Yunyang County, and the Wei River close at hand are clearly visible.

Su Liang takes a long breath and starts pointing at the map.

"Now in Changan City, there are nearly fifty thousand troops."

"Among them, there are more than ten thousand cavalry, and the other forty thousand are infantry."

"General Qin Qiong!"

"Lead ten thousand infantry to be responsible for guarding Changan City."

Although Qin Qiong is unwilling, why not let him go on an expedition.

But he still respectfully cupped his hands and accepted this military order.

Then, Su Liang points to the northeast of Changan City.

"General Xue Wanche, General Xue Wanjun!"

"The two generals lead five thousand troops each, and ambush on the east and west sides of the north bank of the Wei River."

"Half of the bows and arrows in Changan City will be handed over to you two."

"After Jieli Khan dies, lead your troops to two hundred meters from the Turkic army."

"Remember, don't stop shooting, no need to charge!"

"At that time, there will be a signal, and the two generals will act according to the plan!"

"General Zhang Gongjin, General Hou Junji!"

"The two generals lead three thousand Black Armor troops each, and hold the east and west sides ten miles outside the north bank of the Wei River."

"When the Turkic army retreats and flees to the north, pursue and kill them, our Great Tang doesn't need prisoners!"

"General Yuchi Jingde, General Cheng Yaojin!"

"The two generals lead ten thousand infantry each, and secretly go to Yunyang County and Sanyuan County tonight."

"Ambush the Turkic army retreating and fleeing to the north here..."

Up to this point.

Only five thousand Black Armor troops remain.

Not yet dispatched.

"Hu..."

Su Liang takes a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, when the Turkic army retreats and flees to the north."

"I will personally lead the remaining five thousand Black Armor troops, cross the Wei River, head north, and pursue and kill the enemy!"

Su Liang's eyes are full of determination.

Then he faces His Majesty Li Er and bows slightly.

"Your Majesty, the fifty thousand troops of Li Jing, the Great Governor of Lingzhou, should have arrived at the Ningzhou boundary, and at this moment they must be watching Luo Yi's three thousand Youzhou troops."

"The rebellion of Luo Yi, Prince of Yan, is not justified, and the army must be unstable, not to mention that the families of the three thousand Youzhou troops are still in Youzhou."

"Your Majesty can issue a decree that the rebellion of Luo Yi, Prince of Yan, has nothing to do with the soldiers, those who surrender are not guilty, and those who fight the Turks can be rewarded."

"Many people in Luo Yi's army are loyal to the Great Tang!"

Su Liang stares at His Majesty Li Er, then says.

"In this way, what the Turkic army faces is."

"The four-fold ambush of the Great Tang's thirty thousand infantry."

"And the three-fold pursuit of the Great Tang's ten thousand Black Armor heavy cavalry."

"There are also Li Jing's fifty thousand troops in front, the Turkic army's defeat is set!"

Hiss...

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

This...

This is to make the twenty thousand Turkic army have no return!

Hearing this, the Duke and ministers were shocked.

Everyone looked at Su Liang, who was talking eloquently, pointing to the country, and peerlessly handsome.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration!

A second ago, it was still the situation where the twenty thousand Turkic army was stationed on the banks of the Wei River, threatening Changan City!

The next second, what the Duke and ministers saw was the miserable scene of the twenty thousand Turkic army retreating and fleeing to the north!

"Hu..."

I don't know who exhaled a breath of turbid air first.

Then everyone slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

To relieve the shock and horror in their hearts!

"Your Majesty, I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"

Li Er regained his senses instantly after hearing this.

After nodding heavily, he looked at his son-in-law with full approval.

"Son-in-law's talent is truly peerless in the world!"

"This layout is wonderful, wonderful, if General Li Jing were here, he would definitely admit defeat!"

Seeing His Majesty Li Er nodding happily.

Su Liang also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, he bore the pressure of the General Commander of the Jingji Circuit.

And the pressure of the life-and-death battle of Changan City!

That invisible pressure was truly exhausting.

Next is the time for the Duke and ministers of the Great Tang to continue to repair the loopholes.

A full two hours later.

Only then was the entire plan planned to be watertight! ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
