212 The Betrayed Princess
The upright Xiao Yu saw that the ministers in the court were already scared by the 200,000 Turkish troops. He started to make a mistake and his intention was to escape.
The angry Xiao Yu stood up and said furiously: "Nonsense, nonsense, are we moving the capital to another place? Aren't the Turks going south? How to solve the problem of the Turks going south now, rather than talking about the problem of moving the capital."
After Xiao Yu angrily scolded him, he looked at all the ministers in the hall with a dark face.
"Your Majesty! Most of the troops in Guanzhong were transferred to Hebei by the prince and were transferred by the Qin King to Tuhun to block the Tuhun army. Now Guanzhong is seriously insufficient in military strength! How to resist Luo Khan's 200,000 troops?" Pei Ji stood up and analyzed and asked.
Pei Ji himself is not optimistic that the Tang Dynasty will defeat the Turks this time, and the strength is too disparate.
"Yes! In the past, we were no match for tens of thousands of Turks. This time we were the elite Turks of 200,000 soldiers!"
"I think we are in danger this time!"
"What should I do? My family is in Chang'an!"
“…”
Li Yuan saw the ministers below talking a lot. The court was like a vegetable market now, and Li Yuan was even more panicked and didn't know what to do.
It seems that all the ministers are not optimistic about this war at all. The Tang Dynasty has hope of winning. In fact, Li Yuan himself does not have the confidence to defeat the Turks.
Even if the prince and the King of Qin did not lead the troops to these two places, he would not have any confidence to defeat the Turks. Although the Detachment of Women defeated Shibi Khan in the past, he knew exactly what was going on.
"Since you can't resist the Turkic soldiers, so let's move the capital. Everyone discusses how to move the capital!" Li Yuan said helplessly when he saw the mess below and had lost his inch.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were under Li Er, saw this situation and knew that they were going to suffer. In the past, when His Highness was there, he could stop the emperor's opinion. Now His Highness is not here, what should we do?
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and nodded at each other.
Fang Xuanling stood up and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty! My Tang roots are in Guanzhong. When I seized the world, most of the children of Guanzhong helped to pacify the world and made great contributions. The move to the capital this time is probably to cause turmoil in the army. If the Turks occupied Guanzhong this time, and then rely on the location of Guanzhong as a base to invade the hinterland of the Central Plains? The move to the capital is in danger of destruction of the country and the tribe!"
Du Ruhui cleared his throat and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think moving the capital is a solution that cannot be feasible. The construction of a new capital is huge, which will inevitably cause trouble for the people and money. Our Tang Dynasty has just stabilized the world, and I am afraid that the incident of the former Sui Dynasty will repeat itself.
After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he saw that the ministers of the court fell into silence and said again: "Princess Pingyang once defeated the Turks. You can hear what she meant. It's not too late to decide."
Du Ruhui knew very well that Li Yuan was in chaos and the frightened ministers in the court. The only thing that can persuade Li Yuan now may be the only way to persuade Princess Pingyang. If Princess Pingyang is not good, then there is no way. Either move the capital or let 200,000 Turkic troops chase after him, the entire China will be in war in the future.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling didn't say much, but every word was a pearl and the words were as important as the key words. After hearing the words of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the court officials also felt that if the capital was moved, the Turks would occupy Guanzhong. At that time, the Turks used the geographical location of Guanzhong to look down on the Central Plains. On that day, the Chinese nation might fall into the hands of the foreign race again, and they couldn't help but start a cold war.
Li Yuan listened to the two of them and saw that the ministers fell into silence. He also became silent. He suddenly became shocked when he sat there. He thought that the strategy of rebellion was to sit in Guanzhong, smile and watch the world in the end, and finally pacify the world?
Could it be that the Turks would not learn from themselves? This bet cannot bet! The risk is too great.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, sighed a long time, and became scared and frightened again.
This time, just like Shibi Khan attacked Guanzhong last time, he also took advantage of the empty Guanzhong army and led his army southward, so that he had no ability to resist at all.
Li Yuan subconsciously didn't dare to think about the difference from last time. Last time, Shibi Khan only brought 30,000 elite troops, but this time he had 200,000 elite troops.
At this time, Chen Shuda stood up and reported: "Your Majesty! In fact, there is no need to panic. Every time the Turks go south, it is just for people, animals and property. We have accumulated a lot of wealth in recent years. If we don't have to give it to them, and then send someone to negotiate a marriage, the Khan of Chuluo should have withdrew his troops."
After Chen Shuda stood up and said, paused and looked at the ministers for a while, and found that there was no objection, he continued to preach: "If Princess Pingyang's wife's army defeated the Turks like last time, there would be no need to give any money and kisses. If it fails, it's just to give more money and beauties to the Turks."
All the court officials immediately understood what he said. This was to use the Women's Army as cannon fodder and buy time for negotiations. It also pushed the culprit out and let the Turks destroy the Women's Army to vent their anger!
"This method is good. You don't need to move the capital, but you can resist the Turkic soldiers."
"Prime Minister, this method is really great!"
"It's good this time, don't worry about family members!"
After the ministers in the court understood the causes and consequences, they all agreed. As for whether a princess died, it seemed that it would not matter to them.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and found that no one was talking about the capital movement again. They were relieved, knowing that they would not be talking about the capital movement today. At the same time, the two were worried again. The Women's Army would have to confront the 200,000 Turkic army this time! Less than 20,000 troops and 200,000 elite Turkic soldiers, and if they were not careful, the entire army would be destroyed. Maybe they couldn't even make a wave.
At this time, there were only Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the entire hall, and they just sighed in their hearts. They were powerless to do anything about this. At the same time, in their subconscious, the princess was originally a sacrifice for the country due to the fact that all dynasties were like this.
Chen Shuda's words just now and the ministers' consent, how could Li Yuan not understand that they asked their daughter to be a scapegoat, and being wiped out by Khan Khan, it was equivalent to letting the Turks avenge, buying time for negotiations, and making a decisive battle to deceive people. How to fight the 20,000 troops of the Women's Detachment Army and the 200,000 elite Turks? Is this a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger?
That is his own daughter! He made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If she hadn't defeated Guanzhong continuously, defeated Xue Ju, Li Gui, Shi Bi Khan, and stored a large number of troops for the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang might have been like this...
Do you have to sacrifice your own daughter? The angry Li Yuan was helpless and was completely confused.
Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan, who was already in a mess on the dragon throne, and then looked at the plans of all the ministers in the hall. He also knew that this was the best solution to the Turkic journey south this time.
Thinking of this, Pei Ji couldn't help but sigh, and then stepped forward to salute Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, we can learn from the same thing as last time. Your Majesty can follow what Prime Minister Shuda said to let the army of the Women's Army make a decisive battle. While sending people to talk about peace with Xu Yu, he will send the prince's army to attack the Turks. Chuluo Khan may retreat."
"Pei Qing, you are even..." Li Yuan heard Pei Ji's words, and the ministers pushed their daughter out to make the Turks vent their anger. Li Yuan, who was extremely angry, became even more angry. Even if someone pushed Sanniang away, as your good friend, you, your uncle, was an elder who watched Sanniang grow up.
Seeing Li Yuan’s angry look, Pei Ji looked up at Li Yuan and shook his head helplessly.
When Li Yuan saw Pei Ji's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. After careful consideration, he seemed to be able to go this way.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan was like a balloon that was pierced, and it made him silent again. The anger in his heart that was about to ignite was also extinguished, and he felt extremely helpless.
The Grand His Highness Fang Chai Shao heard that Li Xiuning was pushed to be a scapegoat, which made the Turks vent their anger, and they were also angry. After all, Li Xiuning is still his nominal wife now. He was about to go up and scold everyone, but was pulled and scolded by an old man with white beards and scolded: "This time the Turks used a slogan to avenge Shibi Khan. Do you want to drag the Chai family into the fire kang and destroy it?"
Chai Shao looked up and saw that he was a deacon in the family.
"Yes! But after all, she is my nominal wife now. Could it be that I abandoned her like last time and let her die for herself?" Chai Shao murmured to himself with a painful face.
"For the sake of the family and the love between children is nothing compared to the family." The old man with white beard said coldly.
After hearing this, Chai Shao sat on the ground, and the power on his body seemed to have been pulled away.
He knew that he had to sacrifice for his family when he was born in a big family. Compared with the interests of his family, his personal emotions were simply not worth mentioning.
