Chapter 38 Turkic Invasion
Soon, the order was issued like this, and the center drew local elites in the name of military parade to send local elites to the military parade. No one knows the news about the Turks preparing to invade, so the princes in those local areas could not know the intention of the center. They still want to quickly lead the elite troops, maybe the superiors think that their troops are elite enough and then they can reuse them! But they didn't know at all that, when they went to Chang'an this time, some people might be deprived of military power and stayed in Chang'an, while the other people would be re-registered, either managing the army or leaving the army to become local civil servants. As for these, they will be carried out after the Turks retreated.
On August 9, 19th year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, if according to the original history, the new crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin would ascend the throne and become emperor. However, in this time and space, Li Shimin did not immediately become emperor, because everything is to be stable now. If Li Shimin ascends the throne at this time, it will inevitably cause a change. Once the emperor is changed, even if they have a father-son relationship, it will inevitably cause a major change in the court. This time, Li Shimin did not rush to become emperor, after all, he did not want to cause this major change.
Because the Turks were eyeing each other, it would not take long before the Turks would invade a large scale. If they ascend the throne at this time, there would definitely be a change within the Tang Dynasty, which would be very dangerous to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shimin should have suppressed the emperor's reign and continued to manage the government affairs in the name of the prince of the country, and planned to hold the imperial ceremony after solving the Turkic problems. Anyway, his elder brother and third brother have been killed, and those young brothers have not grown up, so there is no one who can threaten his status.
"Brother Yi, you are really amazing! The Turkic people have attacked the border, you are probably sure!" Chang He said.
Chen Fei immediately asked Chang He: "Brother, the Turks invaded the border, how many troops are there on our border now?"
"It's less than ten thousand, and it's scattered in different places, so it's impossible to defend. Ten thousand people have spread over such a long line of defense, so it's simply impossible to defend!" Chang He said.
The Tang Dynasty's border guards are not able to be formed now, and the previous enemies were all domestic enemies. Although the Turks had some precautions, they did not have good precautions. So now the border guards are only about 10,000 people, and they are still distributed to the long border line, which is simply full of loopholes. The Turks can completely concentrate their troops to attack with a large number of superior forces, so that the troops there can be no defense at all. This is the advantage of the offensive side. They can mobilize troops to attack a little harder, while the defenders passively respond and allocate limited troops to different defense lines. This is simply leaking everywhere.
"Bastard, I'm afraid it won't take long to invade Jingzhou and then invade martial arts all the way. Next, they will start attacking Chang'an!" Chen Fei said.
When Chang He heard that the Turks soon invaded, he felt a little nervous. Because Chang He had never fought with the Turks, he had no clue.
"Then how can we intercept them?" Chang He asked.
Chen Fei immediately replied helplessly: "They are cavalry. Our Tang Dynasty lacks cavalry, and even if we want to pursue it, we can't chase it! Therefore, we cannot defend, and the border troops are unable to resist the Turks at all. Therefore, we can only shrink our troops. Moreover, it is probably not long before the Turks will conquer Jingzhou, and it will be able to attack near Chang'an in less than half a month. I wonder if the reinforcements have arrived?"
Chen Fei knew that the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money to "buy" peace in this crisis in history. At that time, the Turks attacked near Chang'an and could attack Chang'an City at any time. At that time, the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, gave all the wealth in the treasury in the treasury and used a trick of doubting troops, which made the Turks withdraw their troops and return to the grassland. However, there were also changes this time, which may be the change brought by Chen Fei. And I don't know what changes will happen here. If the Tang Dynasty collapses, Chen Fei is afraid that Chen Fei will really be tragic.
In Jingzhou City, the Turkic Jie Li Khan stood on the city tower and then shouted orders to more than 200,000 Turkic people under his command.
"Don't be greedy for money and leave immediately! Fight to Chang'an, and then we can get countless money, and even beauties. At that time, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty will all belong to you! Everyone rushed to me! Fight into Chang'an City!" Jie Li shouted.
"Strike into Chang'an!" "Strike into Chang'an!" "Strike into Chang'an!"
The Turks obviously conquered Jingzhou, so they just plundered a lot of things, so they were all motivated.
Jie Li looked at the east and southeast, and it was obvious that it was the direction of Chang'an. He just wanted to conquer Chang'an quickly, so that he could not only gain a lot of wealth, but also take over the central part of the Tang Dynasty. In this case, the local forces of the Tang Dynasty would set off a wave of fighting for dominance again, so that the Turks could support people again and gain great benefits. This is Jie Li's idea. After all, a unified Central Plains can be said to be a great threat to the Turks.
"Khan, will the Tang people move the capital? They can't beat it, but they can run away!" asked Turkic general Ashidewumo.
But Jie Li said: "The Tang Dynasty will not move the capital. Once the capital is moved, our effect will be almost done. Once the capital is moved, the prestige of the center will plummetly. I am afraid that the princes in the Tang Dynasty will have their own small abacus, so that our goal will be achieved. The capitals of the Han people in the Central Plains have different meanings! Although they have strong cities, once the capital is moved, the court will be really dangerous and their prestige will drop greatly. However, the nomadic populations on our grasslands are not
Similarly, if we want to leave, we can just pack up our tents and leave immediately. Even if the Khan Court moves away, it will not have any impact. The capital of the Han people is much more solemn than us and cannot be moved! Once it moves, it will be really hurtful, especially when we attack. Once the capital is moved, the Tang Dynasty will be really not far from destruction. Because the emperor moves the capital, it means that the emperor gave up on the people of the world and only cares about his own safety and will cause great losses to the people."
Jie Li still had a lot of knowledge about Central Plains culture, and it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to move the capital. Once the capital was moved, there would be endless troubles.
