The war in the North ran aground, but it had already been copied in the distant Chang''an city.


    At the Tai Chi hall, Cheng Zhijie and Li Jing and their old ministers expressed their views on the attack and defense of the war in the north.


    It was another unhappy parting. Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and others bowed down to see off. Tang Wang Tieqing left with a face, and they just stepped down.


    Outside the Tai Chi hall.


    As soon as Yuchi jingdezha left the hall, he looked at Li Jing who was about to leave and shouted at the top of his voice.


    "Lao Li, wait a minute!"


    Listening to the familiar voice, Li Jing turned slowly and saw Yuchi Jingde coming mysteriously.


    Yuchi Jingde, who sounded like a loud bell, said to the crowd regardless of his descent.


    "Lao Li, I''m in a hurry to report the war. You..."


    In the middle of the conversation, Li Jing stepped forward and said in a deep voice.


    "Jingde, this is not a place to talk. It''s better to go to the Shuixiang building for discussion."


    Hearing the speech, Yuchi Jingde suddenly understood and whispered.


    "Yes! Yes. I forgot it when I was so excited."


    Then he took Li Jing to the outside.


    Seeing this scene, Cheng Zhijie eagerly followed up and said, "General Li, you can''t forget us about drinking. I''ll buy this wine. Can you give me a treat?"


    Li Jing understood in an instant.


    Now Tang Hao and Cheng Zhijie are both in the hinterland of the grassland. One is the son-in-law of the Li family and the eldest son of the Cheng family. No matter what urgent report is, it affects their hearts.


    Li Jing arched his hand and said, "if so, general Lao Cheng will spend money."


    Seeing Li Jing''s promise, Cheng Zhijie returns with a grateful smile.


    Shuixiang building.


    The largest restaurant in Chang''an city.


    In the elegant attic on the second floor, Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde sit by the window.


    Yuchi Jingde filled a glass of wine, looked at Li Jing and said.


    "According to the news from the northern army, the Turks sent 30000 troops north. Lao Li, do you think this will be a conspiracy of the Turks?"


    Hearing the news, Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie were shocked.


    Li Jing stared at Yuchi Jingde and said.


    "Why did I not know the news?"


    With a smile, Yuchi Jingde drank all the wine in the cup.


    "The news came from my eldest grandson. It''s fresh news. Now only the royal family knows it."


    Li Jing looked at Yuchi Jingde suspiciously, picked up the wine pot and poured him a cup, saying.


    "Division? When did it happen?"


    Yuchi Jingde took another sip of wine and said disapprovingly.


    "Just two days ago, now the Hejian princess is hesitating whether to launch a decisive battle with the Turkic army."


    As soon as the voice fell, Li Jing patted the table. Her eyes were full of regret and said sadly.


    "Li Xiaogong is confused. He is still hesitating and hesitating at such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He missed the opportunity for nothing!"


    Cheng Zhijie held his chin in his hand and muttered with a thoughtful face.


    "Now that the war is imminent, Jieli Khan has sent troops north. It must be that some difficult things have happened on the grassland, so he can''t do so!"


    Hearing that Cheng Zhijie''s idea coincided with his own, Li Jing glanced at Cheng Zhijie and said with great certainty.


    "At present, Turks have the advantage of military strength. If they don''t have to, they will not divide their troops."


    At this point, Li Jing paused, picked up the front glass, took a sip, frowned and said.


    "Although Jieli Khan is suspicious by nature, he is a man who knows the art of war and is angry. Now a war is imminent. How can he play these conspiracy tricks?"


    He is worthy of being the army God of the Tang Dynasty. He not only has insight into the battlefield, but also knows the heart of the Turkic Khan like the back of his hand.


    After Li Jing said this, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde also nodded in agreement.


    Yuchi Jingde poured a mouthful of liquor, put the heavy glass on the table and said with hatred.


    "I have already said that the prince of Hejian is too old to be the commander-in-chief of this war, but the king of Tang believes in his favor."


    "As he grew older, he was indecisive and stuck to the rules. He also showed signs when he was the emperor."


    Yuchi Jingde said that in the early years of Li Xiaogong, at the order of the former Emperor, he led the troops to patrol Bashu and captured Zhu Jie.


    When Zhu Jie was cruel and killed living people and destroyed the city, the generals asked Li Xiaogong to kill Zhu Jie, but Li Xiaogong disagreed. He thought that if he was killed by the enemy, other thieves would not dare to surrender.


    Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Jing, who was angry, and couldn''t help sighing in his heart.


    In this battle, another person may not be in such an embarrassing situation.


    In this war, the Tang army was first in a dilemma due to the great disparity of troops.


    But now he has stood still and missed the opportunity.


    In this way, it will drag on, and the outcome will be more complicated and confusing.


    Cheng Zhijie''s heart suddenly sank and he was surprised.


    "The whereabouts of these 30000 Turkic soldiers are still unknown, but my son and Tang Xiaoqi are in the hinterland of the grassland. Won''t they put this lonely army in danger?"


    Li Jing clutched the wine cup in her hand, her joints turned white, and her anger was even worse in her eyes.


    "That''s what I''m afraid of. If Li Xiaogong doesn''t stand still now, he can''t involve the 150000 troops in front of the Turks. If the grassland change intensifies, I''m afraid Hao''er will be buried in the grassland in vain."


    Hearing the speech, Cheng Zhijie can''t sit still.


    He has only such an excellent eldest son, but if he wants to inherit the Cheng family''s business, it will have unimaginable consequences.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie was in a hurry. He stood up and said.


    "Why don''t we meet the emperor and persuade his majesty to send troops from the prince of Hejian?"


    As soon as he said this, Yuchi Jingde hurriedly stood up and said with a mournful face.


    "Lao Cheng, you''re so unkind. Your majesty didn''t mention the war in the early days, indicating that he didn''t want the generals to know about it. If you say so frankly, wouldn''t you push me into the fire pit?"
