Chang''an city.
Tai Chi hall.
Some veteran generals and literary ministers who stayed in Chang''an gathered in the temple to discuss matters at the summon of the king of Tang.
The king of Tang sat on the Dragon seat, glanced at all the ministers present, and slowly read the 800 Li expedited war report from Deyang on the front line.
"Li Xiaogong''s Department has led 100000 elite troops to Deyang and joined up with 50000 elite troops of Su dingfang''s department against 180000 Turkic soldiers. Now Tang Hao''s 3000 soldiers have broken Xiangcheng and went to the Turkic rear."
Hearing the speech, the ministers suddenly changed their faces.
The sudden change in the situation in the North was unexpected to everyone.
The ministers were in doubt and talked about it one after another.
"I didn''t expect the Turks to increase their troops so quickly in a few days! It was really unexpected!"
"Yes! Tang Hao and Chumo''s surprise attack did not play any role in dividing the troops. How can we fight this final decisive battle? It''s suspected of acting privately."
"No! Tang Hao and Chumo won the first battle and captured Xiangcheng. It''s a great thing! Why do you blame them?"
For a time, the Court seemed to be divided into two factions.
One school believes that the 3000 soldiers led by Tang Hao did not play any role in dividing troops and should be punished.
The other school believes that Tang Hao''s capture of Xiangcheng and recovery of the lost land is a happy event and should not be punished.
Of course, these ministers dare not mention Li Xiaogong''s fault. After all, Li Xiaogong is the Tang brother of the king of Tang!
Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie look at each other and see the shock in each other''s eyes.
Li Jing leaned a few steps in front of Cheng Zhijie.
"Brother Cheng, it seems that the army hasn''t moved a single soldier. The Qingqi in-depth strategy mentioned by Tang Hao has been highly praised. Now it seems that General Li doesn''t mean that."
Cheng Zhijie, who has been through many battles, was not aware of this problem. He frowned and said.
"It seems that Tang Hao and my son made a surprise attack, but it is actually putting pressure on the Turkic army to divide troops to expand the number advantage in the front battlefield. Li Xiaogong! What a good means!"
Until now, these two people react!
Li Jing glanced at the king of Tang sitting at the top of the hall and whispered.
"General Li must have discussed with his majesty. He didn''t make a decision to shut up. I''m afraid General Li won''t decide privately."
With a sigh, Cheng Zhijie said.
"The heart of the king of Tang, we ministers who have been with him for so long don''t know."
"The Turks are constantly increasing their troops, and General Li is suspected of almost missing the fighter plane. If he attacked the Turks who have not yet assembled when he first entered Deyang, it would not lead to today''s situation of being outnumbered."
"It''s just that General Li''s royal status won the trust of the king of Tang. Now even if there is a mistake in the decision, he won''t blame it."
Speaking of this, they were stunned at the same time, with a touch of deep worry and even a trace of panic in their eyes.
If the war is defeated this time, these two pieces in the war will inevitably become scapegoats.
At the thought of this, Cheng Zhijie''s heart suddenly sank.
This plan was planned by the king of Tang and Li Xiaogong at the same time. Even if it failed, the king of Tang would not punish them to death because of their friendship.
But these two people''s official positions must not be preserved. The great future of these two rising stars and young Juncai must be destroyed!
This gloomy thought enveloped the two most anxious minds.
The king of Tang got up slowly and stood on the main hall with a gloomy face.
"What do you Aiqing think of the war now?"
Worried that the Holy Lord would bring down his sin, Li Jing took the lead in standing up and saying.
"Your Majesty, I think Tang Hao and Cheng Chumo were ordered to capture Xiangcheng. It should be a miracle that three thousand cavalry captured Xiangcheng."
Li Jing was very vague. She only talked about Tang Hao, but did not mention Li Xiaogong''s mistakes.
But these words are also an excuse for Tang Hao to avoid falling on the conviction after the decisive battle.
At this time, the eldest sun Wuji slowly stepped out of the line and bowed his hand.
"Your Majesty, there is no private action between the two children. If someone puts the blame on the two ordered children, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the siege soldiers."
While protecting Tang Hao and others, the powerful Royal family also ridiculed the conservative stereotypes of the princess of Hejian and delayed the best opportunity.
Hearing the speech, all the ministers present, including the king of the Tang Dynasty, looked at their eldest sun Wuji one after another.
This is not the first time that the eldest sun Wuji has openly defended Tang Hao and defended them.
Moreover, this eldest sun Wuji, who has been unwilling to participate in the government for many years, was the first to stand up except Li Jing.
This scene. Even the king of Tang was slightly surprised.
The king of the Tang Dynasty in front of the Dragon seat looked down at the two people standing up, frowned slightly and said faintly.
"Did I ever say that I would punish them?"
Hearing the speech, Li Jing secretly clenched her teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, the God of Valor, of course not. He wronged the two children."
All along, ancient and modern emperors, who doesn''t pay attention to their reputation? If the decisive battle is lost, at least half of the blame will fall on the two children, even if the blame will not fall on Tang Hao.
Li Jing said this just to prevent trouble and take the lead in blocking the mouth of the king of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Wang said faintly with a gloomy face.
"I came to you to discuss how to March, not how to convict!"
Cheng Zhijie Lang said.
"In the current situation, if there is a strong attack, even if Datang wins, his strength will be greatly damaged."
"If unfortunately, the northern territory will be completely occupied, and then there will be an impasse. It is likely that these Turkic armies will seize the victory and pursue."
"The three thousand light riders will also be completely swallowed."
Yuchi Jingde said in a loud voice.
"Between Israel and officials, the current situation, whether advance or retreat, has risks. Our Tang sergeant is well equipped and can fight a war."
"150000 against 180000. It''s hard."
Gao Shilian was full of worried reminders.
Du Rumei gave a long sigh, and her tone was full of helplessness.
"Turks are good at riding and shooting, and Datang is well-equipped. If the two sides are equal in strength, they can still fight. Now the Turkic army has an obvious advantage. If we fight again, I''m afraid there will be variables."
Fang Xuanling slowly walked up the hall and took a look at the officials.
"How to choose is not for us, but for the prince of Hejian. There are many variables on the front line. Whether to attack or defend is entirely between his thoughts!"
As soon as he said this, all the ministers present were silent.
