"What, you said Cheng Yaojin's [-] troops are still a few days away from Chang'an City?!"
Chapter 79 That's My Son
To say that Li Shimin's life made him the happiest moment, except for the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the eldest grandson gave birth to Li Qiu, Li Shimin became a father for the first time, and he ascended the throne.
That's definitely the time!
The news brought by Feng Li is enough to save lives, enough to save Datang!
It suddenly became the last straw for Li Shimin in desperation.
It is much more timely than sending charcoal in the snow.
Not only him, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Hou Junji stood up happily.
Looking at Feng Li in disbelief, he was afraid that what he had just heard was wrong.
At this moment, Feng Li glanced at them with some surprise, feeling puzzled.
After he entered the area of Chang'an City today, he didn't see the slightest abnormality, let alone the slightest so-called Turkic attack.
In his heart, he thought that this time Li Qiu had miscalculated.
That's why he took the initiative to plead guilty to Li Shimin, hoping that Li Shimin would not blame Li Qiu and Cheng Yaojin, and if he wanted to beheaded, he could do it himself.
But seeing the situation of the few of them at this time, Feng Li couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Can't figure out what's going on here? !
"Your Majesty, it's all the fault of one of the ministers who encouraged General Cheng's [-] troops to march west without authorization."
"I also know that this is an unforgivable crime."
"It is only for the sake of Chang'an and Your Majesty's safety that His Majesty can read the ministers and others. Please forgive General Cheng, Li Qiu, and the minister's family..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin helped him up immediately.
"Oh, Feng Li, it's too late for me to reward you so much, so where is the punishment?"
"Tell me exactly where Cheng Yaojin's [-] troops are now?"
Feng Li cupped his hands, "Return to Your Majesty, according to my estimate, General Cheng's army should have reached Shanzhou, Changshui by now."
"It's less than three hundred miles away from Chang'an..."
At this time, Du Ruhui took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, I don't know who this Li Qiu General Feng is talking about is?"
"This person's analysis and planning, I am simply astonished!"
"This time, he has made a great contribution!"
Not only him, but Fang Xuanling nodded again and again at this time, "If it is really Changshui in Shanzhou, it will take less than three days to reach Chang'an with a quick march."
"If we have Cheng Yaojin's 3 soldiers rushing to help, plus the original [-] troops of Chai Shao's troops and the city."
"That Turkic Jieli will not be able to capture Chang'an City in a short time."
"At that time, as long as Li Jing's army arrives, our army will attack from front to back, and Xieli's army will not have much food, the Turks will definitely be defeated!"
"But now, we only need to do two things. One is to quickly send someone to notify Cheng Yaojin, and let his [-] troops rush to Chang'an as quickly as possible."
"Second, no matter what, we must hold on until the arrival of Cheng Yaojin's army!"
Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't wait any longer, so he resigned from Li Shimin directly, and immediately arranged several fast horses to send an emergency order to Cheng Yaojin.
After he left, Feng Li asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang, Mr. Du, did Turkic Jieli really come to sneak attack?"
At this time, because he was in a good mood, Li Shimin also laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah, Li Qiu guessed right."
"The cunning Xieli came over an army of 10,000+ from the Longxi trail."
"And along the way, he broke through the martial arts without making a sound, and went straight to Chang'an."
"Before you came, those of us were still suffering from great disparity and were unable to fight."
"But, now, the situation suddenly becomes clear!"
Hearing this, even Feng Li was amazed at Li Qiu's magic.
To be honest, even he himself doesn't quite believe Li Qiu's neurotic judgment.
However, he always had an inexplicable trust in Li Qiu, so he followed Li Qiu's advice.
I didn't expect that I actually did it right.
At this time, Feng Li took a deep breath and saluted Li Shimin again.
"His Majesty!"
"When I left Youzhou, Li Qiu once said that once the Turks really attacked, the troops in Chang'an City would definitely be insufficient."
"As for the former subordinates of the hidden prince in the city, I am afraid that there is no one to lead them. They are in a state of disunity, and the military department dare not use them."
"Only with the presence of the ministers can we gather them together, display their true combat power, and truly serve our Great Tang."
"It's just that I don't know if His Majesty can trust me to let me organize these soldiers and fight them out of the city as the vanguard against Turkic Jieli?!"
At this moment, Li Shimin patted Feng Li's shoulders repeatedly in his heart.
"Feng Li, you are a real man with loyalty and righteousness."
"I, as well as the entire Tang Dynasty, are proud of generals and generals like you!"
"I hand over the army to you, why don't I worry about it?"
Speaking of this, Du Ruhui coughed, shook his head and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, I'm really too curious, I can't help but want to ask."
"Who is this Li Qiu that you and General Feng are talking about?"
"If there are such talents to sit in the military headquarters, I, the Shangshu Youpushe who is in charge of military affairs, would like to let Xian and him."
Not only him, but Fang Xuanling at the side also shook his head full of praise.
"That's right. With his sensitivity to the situation, his control over the details of the military situation, and his vision and overall perspective, Xuanling is also sighing that he is not as good as he is. It's not just a little bit worse."
"If such a person can't be used by His Majesty to serve our Great Tang, it would be a great pity!"
At this moment, listening to them praising Li Qiu, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling proud and happy.
At the same time, I thought: Hey, that Li Qiu you are talking about is my son!
He is my first son in this world!
How about it?Born to be a genius in war planning!
Like his father!
If this news is let to Empress Changsun later, how happy would she be? !
Of course, he would never dare to say these words just now.
He could only laugh out loud, and said to Feng Li: "Feng Li, you are familiar with that Li Qiu, so tell Xuan Ling and Ke Ming about Li Qiu."
Chapter 80 Youzhou City Breaks, Turkic City Burns
Afterwards, Feng Li obeyed the order and simply told how he met Li Qiu and some information about Li Qiu.
After hearing his introduction, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked even more surprised and unbelievable.
Du Ruhui: "This Li Qiu is just a 17-year-old child?"
"This... this is simply a genius!"
"Your Majesty, although this son is from a merchant background, don't let him go to waste."
"I implore Your Majesty to transfer this son to my military headquarters so that I can train him well!"
Fang Xuanling on the side also kept nodding.
"Li Qiu, I seem to have remembered something about shooting Sirius."
"Before General Li Jing left for the expedition that day, I chatted with my minister for a few words."
"Said he went to a tavern and asked for a poem for himself."
"Because that poem is so good, I still remember it fresh."
"The name of the poem is "Send the Marshal to the Northwest", but the content is even better."
"The old man is talking about being a teenager, holding Huang on the left and Qing Cang on the right."
"Follow the prefect to report Qingcheng, shoot tigers personally, and watch Sun Lang."
"The wine is full of wine, the breasts are still open, and the temples are slightly frosty, so why not!"
"Will hold the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot Sirius."
"It's no wonder that Li Jing, who has always been calm, is delighted with such a good sentence."
"At that time, I was thinking, such a talented poet, I must find time to meet him."
"It's just that I was too busy later, so I forgot about it."
"I didn't expect to meet him here again."
"I also believe that such talents must be used by my Tang Dynasty."
"But it's not appropriate to put it with Keming. It's better to let Li Qiu follow the minister's side, which is more conducive to his cultivation."
At this time, Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands, "About Li Qiu, there is no need for you two to argue."
"When Xieli's army retreats, when Li Qiu returns to Chang'an again, you will have plenty of time to fight."
"By the way, Xuanling, later on, you can assist Feng Li and gather the troops in the shortest possible time."
"Then transfer eight thousand sets of armor and weapons to them from the armor depot..."
After arranging some military affairs, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Feng Li and the others resigned one after another, and went to their respective busy lives.
Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, went directly to Empress Changsun.
Seeing Li Shimin like this, Empress Changsun was also surprised.
"Your Majesty, did you encounter any happy event? Why are you in such a good mood?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly, and took Empress Changsun's hand, "Guanyin maidservant, I got news from Li Qiu today."
"You gave birth to a good son for me!"
Hearing the news about Li Qiu, Empress Changsun was naturally overjoyed and extremely concerned.
"Qiuer?"
"Where is he now, and what has he done to make His Majesty so happy?"
Afterwards, Li Shimin also shared the news that Feng Li had just brought back.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun was naturally overjoyed.
"If it wasn't for your majesty, I couldn't believe it."
"Qiu'er, he actually has such a great ability?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath at this moment, smiled and nodded.
"Queen, it's not an exaggeration to say that Li Qiu has saved Chang'an and the entire Tang Dynasty!"
"He is a child who is unconventional, intelligent, and his vision and thinking are very different from ordinary people."
"Look at the wine he made, the dishes he cooked, and the poems he wrote, none of them are outstanding, and they are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Through this incident, it can be seen that if this kid puts his talents on military affairs and governing the country, he will definitely be better than blue!"
"Also, you don't know, Empress, today in the Chengqing Hall, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui almost quarreled in order to compete for Li Qiu to go to their subordinates for training."
"I also think together, when Li Qiu returns to Chang'an, what kind of title and official position should be arranged for him?"
Empress Changsun smiled, "As for titles and official positions, these are secondary."
"Seeing that Qiu'er is about to turn eighteen, but she is still not married yet."
"I think, when he comes back, let's settle the marriage between him and Luo's girl first."
