Datang: I was exposed by Princess Changle

About 20 miles around the city wall.

In the Tang Dynasty, the status and role of Youzhou City became more prominent.

Whenever the country is powerful, Youzhou City must be used as a strategic base to expand its territory.

When the country is in decline, it becomes an important place for military defense.

When the country was stable, it became a trade center in the north, promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the Han people and the nomadic peoples in the north.

The Turkic barbarians went south, and Youzhou City was the first to bear the brunt!

And once Youzhou City is breached, the rest of Shuozhou and Cangzhou may also be brutally plundered by Turkic barbarians.

By then, the entire Northern Xinjiang war situation will become very bad.

"Besides, I'm still worried..."

"Say!"

Li Shimin's complexion has become worse and worse.

"I'm worried, most of the generals stationed in northern Xinjiang are from aristocratic families!"

"They have always been supporters of the late prince!"

"Your Majesty, they are already dissatisfied with your enthronement as emperor!"

"This time the Turks went south, it's okay for them to sit idly by and let them go!"

"If they have evil intentions and collude with them..."

Li Jing's worry was not without reason.

In northern Xinjiang, most of the soldiers and horses of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Although Li Shimin has ascended the throne as the emperor.

But in my heart, after all, I still have resentment towards him.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

If they once colluded with the Turkic barbarians.

For Datang, it was no less than a catastrophe.

boom!

Li Shimin punched hard, hitting the table in front of him hard.

"They dare!"

"Come on!"

"Let Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Ji and others enter the palace to discuss matters!"

"Go quickly!"

"Here!"

Eunuch Chang bowed and saluted, and hurriedly ran out of the hall.

Li Shimin's face was serious, fidgeting restlessly.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at Li Jing.

"Oh, by the way, who is currently stationed in Youzhou City?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the guard of Youzhou is now General Bingyue——Liu Hongji!"

"So it's Duke Ren, I didn't expect to see him for six years!"

Li Shimin sighed, looking thoughtful.

. . . . . .

Night, like black ink, enveloped the entire earth.

The devastated Youzhou City.

It was more like an ancient beast, silently licking its own wounds.

A full moon hangs above the night sky.

Exudes Yingying to bright moonlight.

It seemed that the entire Youzhou City was covered with a layer of faint white light.

The people in the city have not yet recovered from the panic brought about by the Turkic barbarians.

for them.

The Turkic barbarians were not only enemies of the Tang Dynasty.

They are more like nightmares, making people panic and uneasy.

Although today is a battle.

More than half of the tens of thousands of Turkic barbarians were killed at the foot of Yanshan Mountain outside the city of Youzhou.

But they knew very well in their hearts that this battle was just the beginning of the Turkic army's southward march.

I'm afraid of tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

The gate of Youzhou City will eventually be breached.

By that time, not only Youzhou City, but even the entire Northern Xinjiang.

They will all be reduced to a hunting ground for Turkic barbarians, a purgatory on earth...

It's been a day's battle.

Only in exchange for the brief tranquility of the night.

In Youzhou City, there are many people who are constantly packing up their household items and fleeing for their lives outside the city.

On the street, although it was late at night, it was already in a mess.

And in a remote small courtyard, Gongsun Xin was busy with work.
