Chapter 148 A good show
Cheng Chumo is ugly and powerful, just like the Chai family's overlord who drags his mind and loses his mind, just like a dead dog.
Zhishili had just struggled a few times, but Cheng Chumo was unceremonious and knocked down a few black punches. Zhishili's eyebrows were broken and bleeding, and his eyes were blue and purple.
Zhi was so desperate that he thought that hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were coming to Chang'an City, and he and Li Shimin had become old acquaintances again, so he could be polite to him, the envoy, but he expected to kill him as soon as he came.
Especially the attitude of these two guards made him not doubt that Li Shimin really wanted to kill him.
Now he was really heartbroken, his mind was broken, and he begged repeatedly.
The more he struggled, the less serious Cheng Chumo's hand was, the more harsh he beaten, the more harsh Old Cheng beaten, the more terrified the Zhi lost his mind, so he struggled more severely.
It's like rolling around and showing off his ugly appearance.
He kept shouting for mercy and waving his hands and feet, and he didn't look like a foreign envoy.
Even the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed and immediately left the list, "Your Majesty, the Northern Di Hulu do not understand etiquette, so it's fine to hand it over to the Honglu Temple for reprimanding, there is no need to kill it."
The right servant Feng Deyi also said, "The two countries have fought with each other and will not behead the envoy. Please ask Your Majesty to express your kindness and scold these barbarians."
The two prime ministers advised each other, and Emperor Li Shimin said, "Since the two prime ministers come forward to plead for him, I will spare him a life and detain this person for the time being. I will gather all the troops to serve the king and capture his master who is swearing alive, and then we will deal with it together!"
The palace supervisor Douluwang asked for an order.
"I ask for an imperial edict, where will this barbarian be temporarily detained? Should I take it to the Dali Temple Prison, the imperial edict Prison, or the Yongzhou Prison?"
"Anyway, it's an envoy, so I'll be detained in the Political Affairs Hall for the time being!"
Cheng Chumo stared at Zhi Shisili, "Why don't you kneel down and thank God!" Zhi Shisili did not dare to be arrogant anymore, so he quickly kowtowed to the emperor to thank him, and then was carried down by Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu.
Xiao Yu said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Turkic army is approaching now, and there seems to be no need to anger the Turkic."
Li Shimin smiled, "I didn't plan to kill him, but I knew that these Turks were all bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so I deliberately scared him. And I guessed that he was here to inquire about the truth of my Tang Dynasty. Huailiang just gave me a suggestion and said that he could just do it."
Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi and the two servants She suddenly realized that the emperor meant this. But why was Qin Lang's idea again? Is Qin Sanlang already returning to Chang'an?
Zhi Shili and Li Shimin were indeed old acquaintances before, and he even came to Chang'an more than once. He also visited Tai Chi Palace, but this time he was so humiliated in the East Palace.
He was taken all the way to the imperial city gate and was locked in the main hall, and no one paid attention to it.
Sitting there, my face was bruised and swollen, and I didn’t even have a cup of hot tea. I rushed from Weibei to Chang'an for dozens of miles, but I didn’t even have time to have a meal.
He was hungry and shouted several times but no one paid attention to him. He shouted again. The bearded Cheng Chumo came in, but stared at him directly, and even drew his sword to threaten him, saying that he would chop him up if he shouted again.
Just as he was angry, Gao Shilian, the lieutenant of the procuratorate, walked in and saw them arguing.
Zhi Shisili was about to come forward to complain, saying that the guard was arrogant and rude, but he heard Gao Shilian shouting, "What's going on? Don't you know that this is the prime minister and the political parties' discussions, how can you detain prisoners? How can you lock people here?"
Cheng Chumo replied that it was the emperor's will.
"The emperor only said that he would temporarily detain the person in the Political Affairs Hall, which means that he would be held in this province, and he did not ask you to bring the person to the main hall. There is no place to keep someone in such a big place? This hall is the place where the prime minister and the political participants discuss. If you bring the person here, the prime ministers will come to discuss matters later. Could it be that they have to find another place?"
"When you are under the position, hurry up and change him to another place." Cheng Chumo was scolded honestly and came over to push Zhishi's soul to the side.
Cheng Chumo held Zhi Shi Sili and found several rooms, but he had no time to do it. In the end, he had to escort him to a side room next to the lobby of the Political Affairs Hall. "You stay here honestly. If you dare to disturb the prime minister and the political parties discuss matters, I will beat you to death!"
The fist that has been very powerful in the process of silence is very powerful, and at this time, I dare not argue too much, but I dare not speak out.
After Cheng Chumo left, Zhi Shili had to swallow his anger while hungry. After a while, he heard a lot of footsteps, as if he was heading to the main hall where he was just staying.
Then came the voice of the matter.
At first it seemed like the sounds of Xiao Yu and Feng Lun, two servants who had heard in the hall just now, and there were still some sounds that I had never heard.
He heard Feng Lun slam the table there, "Absolutely not. He used all the treasury and treasury in one move. Not to mention that I, the right servant, don't have this power, even if I have this power, I dare not agree. Do you have to live after fighting this war? If you have decided today, everything is in trouble, so where can you not use money and food?"
At this time, another strange voice sounded, "The Prime Minister is responsible to Your Majesty. Is it not necessary for Du? But since he is the Minister of War appointed by Your Majesty, he must consider the method of defending the enemy in front of him. Now all the troops of the king are here, with a total of 500,000 troops. Which one does not need money to eat horses?"
"Why are there so many 500,000?" Feng Lun said.
"Why isn't there? I can do it with Feng Prime Minister. Originally, I had the Emperor Yuan of Chang'an who was 30,000 imperial guards and 60,000 troops from various places. Not long ago, His Majesty established a new Beiya Tun camp of 30,000, which totaled 120,000, right?"
Feng Deyi's voice came, "This is right, I know, but there is still a difference of 380,000?"
"You are the army of kings. Qin Shubao, the commander of Liangzhou, led 30,000 troops to support the army of kings, and there were 20,000 troops behind it, which is 50,000. The Qinzhou army led by Chai Shao entered Wugong from Qizhou, and there were also Longyou troops and horses coming from behind. This route was also five. These two routes and one plus one hundred thousand."
"In addition, Li Shiji, Bingzhou and Zhang Gongjin, Daizhou, had 100,000 people, Huang Junhan, the governor of Luzhou, and Niu Jinda, the governor of Youzhou, had 100,000 people in two directions."
"There are also the governor of Luozhou Qu Tutong, and the governor of Lizhou Ren Wei from two groups, and they are already stationed in Tongguan."
"Please calculate, are these routes 380,000, and are the original 120,000 soldiers in Chang'an? Isn't this the one-two thousand soldiers still on the way? I'm not considered the governor of Mingzhou Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Dingzhou Shuang Shiluo and other commanders who are still on the way. In addition, the commanders who are in Huainan, Shannan, and Jiangnan are still on the way. If you really wait for the commanders of the kings from all over the country to arrive, let alone 500,000, or 800,000."
"It is a good thing for so many troops to serve the king, but now the army gathers, and people eat horses and chew horses and consumes a lot of money every day. In addition, we also need to provide food and grass for the garrisons in western Beijing and Tongguan, and we need to recruit many civilians, which also consumes a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, now only the 80,000 troops stationed on the Weiqiao line will cost more than 200,000 kilograms of corn and more than 80,000 stones of grass. People's livelihood is indeed important, but things have the power of affairs and priorities. Our Tang Dynasty should concentrate our efforts to complete this battle first. We must first cooperate with Your Majesty's decision and gather and annihilate the 290,000 enemy troops under Chang'an City."
Xiao Yu's voice sounded, "There are no 290,000 people. After annihilated 10,000 people from the Wuwuchu tribe, there are now 280,000 Turks, and there are many old and weak, and there are not enough food and grass. I want to say that the 500,000 people in Chang'an are enough to annihilate the Turkic army, and there is no need to let the troops from Jiangnan, Huainan, Shannan and other places come, so that they can return the same way."
Du Ruhui said, "Since the troops have been summoned, how can there be a reason to return halfway? Your Majesty has already said that this opportunity is once a lifetime. We must take advantage of Jie Li's arrogance and arrogance to wipe out the 300,000 Turkic troops who dared to go deep into thousands of miles in one fell swoop, and not allow anyone to escape to the grassland. We must wait for the time being to capture Jie Li and Tuli and others alive under Chang'an City, and our Tang Dynasty will take advantage of the forces to fight back, attack the Turks in the north, plow the courtyards, sweep the caves, eliminate the types, and organize counties!"
·······
Zhidui's soul became more and more frightened as he heard it. He never thought that Li Shimin could not have been so arrogant to kill him. It turned out that he had prepared for it.
There are already 500,000 troops around Chang'an, and 200,000 to 300,000 troops to support the kings in Shandong, Huainan, Shannan and other places.
This time, the Turks sent 300,000 troops was already the limit, but it was unexpected that the Tang army had mobilized soldiers from all over the country in such a short period of time.
He did not doubt the words of the Minister of War Du Ruhui.
Back then, Zhi Shisili followed his father and led his troops to Liaodong to watch the battle. He said that he was watching the battle, but in fact he obeyed the orders of the Sui emperor of the Central Plains and sent troops to cooperate in the fight against Goguryeo.
At that time, he was very young. He left the grassland for the first time in Liaodong. For the first time, he knew what a million heavenly army was. The Sui army mobilized more than one million troops. The army marched on the road every day, and walked for several months.
Later, he surrounded Yang Guang with Bi Khan Yanmen. That time, the Turkic army dispatched 400,000, but still failed to capture Yanmen City. The Sui Dynasty's king-supporting army continued to spread, and eventually forced them to retreat.
Unexpectedly, history has happened again now.
Moreover, this time the Central Plains emperor was prepared for a long time. Before they arrived, they had already transferred the army to support the royal army.
The sturdiness of Chang'an City is far better than that of Yanmen City.
Although the Central Plains had just experienced great chaos, they were also very clear that the regular army of the Central Plains dynasty was not worse than that of the Turks. Although the number of cavalry was smaller, their armor and sword spear were more conducive to the Turks.
There are 500,000 troops in Chang'an.
No wonder Wu Wuchu was defeated in two battles and the entire army was wiped out. The Tang people had previously claimed that in Sanyuan, they only used 3,000 light cavalry to wipe out all Wu Wuchu 8,000 cavalry. Now it seems that the Tang people dispatched 10,000 or 2,000 elite cavalry at that time, just like the battle in Jingyang, where Qin Shubao wiped out 30,000 Wu Wuqiao 2,000 cavalry.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice outside.
"The general of the government affairs, the governor of Yongzhou, the general of the left guard, and the governor of Liangzhou, the Duke of Qi, arrived!"
"Dear Masters, Qin Qiong is late."
Du Ruhui, Minister of War, asked Qin Qiong, "Li Shiji, is Zhang Gongjin's military deployment in place?"
"It has been deployed, and both generals have led their troops in their positions. Li Shiji's troops have entered Liyang, and Zhang Gongjin's troops have entered Gaoling. Once the decisive battle begins, the two generals' 100,000 troops will attack Jieli's flank from east to west."
"Where are the 100,000 troops of Qu Tutong and Huang Junhan?"
