Chapter 36: The King of Dispatching Troops (Part 1)

Soon, the prince's subordinates also came. When everyone heard the statement that Chen Fei's Turkic might attack, they immediately burst into cold sweats. Because this was not impossible, but it was very possible. If they were to use their long-term conspiracy to plot against people, even those who were strategically and tactical, the Turkic people would take the opportunity to attack. Because if Chang'an was conquered and all the central personnel of the Tang Dynasty were destroyed, and then the Tang Dynasty lost its unified command, the Central Plains would return to a state of chaos again. If they thought about it from the perspective of others, they might have done this, after all, it would have been a huge profit.

"Prince, how many troops do we have in Chang'an now?" Fang Xuanling asked immediately.

Li Shimin said bitterly: "Not 30,000!"

"Thirty thousand? Too little!" Fang Xuanling replied.

Everyone also began to calculate what 30,000 troops could do. Obviously, 30,000 were not enough to deal with the Turkish attack. They had never thought about this before. Their previous enemies were Li Jiancheng, and they would not consider the Turkish issues at all. The so-called wise men had to make mistakes, and they all suddenly found that they seemed to have missed this very important issue. They all wanted to eliminate Li Jiancheng, but they did not realize what to do after destroying Li Jiancheng. Now everyone is in trouble. What to do after destroying Li Jiancheng is obviously something that everyone had never thought about. And they did not expect that the Turks would take the opportunity to attack. This is where they must have lost something, and this is really fatal.

However, as the thug who is most loyal to Li Shimin, Yuchi Gong immediately said: "Crown Prince, as long as you order your whole life, I, Yuchi Gong, will definitely fight for you without regrets. Even if the Turks come, I will fight with them to the end!"

Li Shimin nodded, obviously very satisfied with Yuchi Gong's answer. However, loyalty alone cannot solve the threat of the Turks. Although it seems that the Turks are not doing anything now, I am afraid that the Turks are brewing bad water in their stomachs. Obviously, they are all thinking about dealing with the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, it is necessary to deal with it, otherwise they will not be able to fight at all.

"Crown Prince, I think the Turks may not come!" Yu Wenshi said.

But Chen Fei next to him said affirmatively: "The Turks will definitely come. I dare to bet that they will come. The Turkish Khan Jie Li Khan is not a fool, and they will not be unable to see this situation. Therefore, I am sure that Jie Li Khan will definitely bring troops and will attack the whole country. At that time, our 30,000 troops may not be their opponents at all, so please prepare."

Then everyone saw Chen Fei and heard Chen Fei's affirmation. This was the first time that everyone really knew Chen Fei. Before, everyone had no impression of Chen Fei. After all, Chen Fei was just an inside player pulled by Changsun Wuji, but now there is no need for Chen Fei to be the inside player, so Chen Fei naturally returned to his original job. However, now Chen Fei took the initiative to say that the Turks would attack, and this news was too amazing. Everyone also agreed. Yu Wen Shi and the Turks might not be able to attack, maybe they were just comforting themselves.

As everyone present, everyone knows that the Turks are not fools. If they were fools, they would have been destroyed long ago. Don’t think that those Turks are all reckless men and have no brains. On the grassland, the danger is even more cruel than the Central Plains. Not only do they have to fight against natural disasters, but they also have to fight against extremely cruel humans. There is no benevolence, righteousness and morality on the grassland, so conspiracy and calculations are less moral pressure than those of the Central Plains. Those who can survive in this situation are even more deceitful. So will the Turks miss this opportunity? Obviously, everyone doesn’t think so.

"Xuanling, do you have any solutions?" Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and asked.

But Fang Xuanling didn't say much, just said: "Since this matter was proposed by Chen Fei's joining the army, and it was the first time Chen Fei's joining the army thought that the Turks would attack, so why not ask Chen Fei to join the army to give him an idea!"

Chen Fei was speechless. Fang Xuanling actually asked him to come up with an idea. People say that Fang Xuanling was a "fang motto", but now he actually asked him to come up with an idea. So is he a "fang motto" a waste of time? But since he kicked the ball to him, Chen Fei could only bite the bullet and say it.

"Crown Prince, I think it would be better to dispatch troops to help the king as the Turks have not come now! The Turks are not coming so quickly now. We will seize this time and send orders to everyone to send troops to help the king quickly. It should be possible to achieve this. At that time, we have enough strength to welcome the invasion of the Turks and can ensure the safety of our capital of the Tang Dynasty." Chen Fei said.

"Transfer troops to help the king?" No one expected Chen Fei to say such a word.

There were two explanations for the so-called king-salvation in ancient times. One means that a minister was very dedicated to his work, which can be said to be diligent in the affairs of the king. As for the other, it is that the ruling status of the emperor and the monarch was affected, such as the capital was besieged by rebels or foreign tribes, and powerful ministers usurped power. In this case, the emperor called local troops to kill the capital to rescue the emperor, which can also be called king-salvation.

However, the word "Salvation of the King" seems to be a compliment. However, in fact, there are many situations. Some ministers claim to be here to rescue the emperor, and then they took the opportunity to occupy the capital, using the emperor to command the princes, compared to Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period of Japan. Some simply rebelled in the name of "Salvation of the Seven Kings in the Western Han Dynasty, which was to rebel in the name of "Salvation of the King" and clear the king's side. However, as the monarch in the feudal era, he was very sensitive to the word "Salvation of the King".

Once the word "Self-responsive" is not used well, it may be very dangerous, and it is easy for the powerful people under his command to take the opportunity to rebel. So when Chen Fei proposed to mobilize troops to support the king, everyone was a little confused because the word "Self-responsive" is too sensitive. If, that is, if those who serve the king are not used well, it may be very dangerous. Some people even have ambitions, they may take the opportunity to attack and hold the emperor to command the princes. This is also a very dangerous situation for Li Tang, and everyone has to be careful. Although others may not have this idea, when things come to an end, who knows whether they have this ambition?

"My dear friends, let me tell you, what about Chen Fei's proposal to join the army?" Li Shimin saw that the scene was a bit unlucky and asked on his own initiative.
