"Do we have food or grass?"

“How long can our food and grass last?”

Li Shimin looked at everyone and said, "Dingxiang is the gateway to the west of the Tang Dynasty. If Dingxiang falls, it will be time to make a desperate bet. The Western Turks have all the strength of the whole country to attack, and we must also take advantage of the whole country and win quickly. Otherwise, once we delay, we will lose food and grass without fighting!"

Most of the people present had experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty or stayed in the Qin Palace, and they were not ignorant of the war. After Li Shimin said this, everyone understood that what Li Shimin said was true. If the Western Turks conquered Dingxiang, the Tang Dynasty would face it, they would really bets.

Li Shimin said seriously: "When the country is in its survival, I have some things to say to you."

"Eastern Turks or Western Turks are all barbarians. If the Western Turks attack and destroy the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains will suffer. The consequences can be imagined. In times of crisis, loyalty and righteousness will be revealed. I don't want to see that when the soldiers in front are fighting to the death, there are still people doing bad things behind them. This is all, let's retreat."

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't understand Li Shimin's thoughts. Just as they were about to bow and leave, a little eunuch ran in, holding a letter with the words "Flying now" in his hand: "Report, 800 miles of speed!"

"You guys are here!" Li Shimin called everyone, reached out to take the letter, tore it apart, took a look, and frowned.

Changsun Wuji asked, "Your Majesty, what has happened? Is it about Li Mu or Dingxiang?"

"None are not." Li Shimin handed the letter to Changsun Wuji, saying amused and crying: "I didn't expect that Li Mu, this kid, was kid, was kidnapped, and even brought me such a big surprise. It's really-"

Wei Zheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

Changsun Wuji was also laughing and crying, and said, "I, Wang Pu, the chief of the Jinyiwei of the Internal Affairs Office, congratulates His Majesty for the joy of opening up the border. Li Chongyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, led the five hundred Jinyiwei, and had already captured the capital of Linyiwei. The Linyiwei had already entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The incident was described by me at the end of the memorial. Everything depends on the brochure of Zhuluhou. Zhuluhou was planning and winning thousands of miles away, which was not seen in a thousand years-" Changsun Wuji stopped here and said, "The next half of the article is full of flattery, so I won't read it. Wang Shizhong, Wang Pu is your brother, do you know this?"

Wang Gui was confused: "How did I know? Zhulu Hou just said that he would let my brother make achievements. As for what he did, do you think he would tell me?"

"I'm also confused!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "At that time, Li Mu told me that the rice seeds in Zhenla state can produce twice the rice seeds per mu, and it can be ripened twice a year. I didn't believe it, but he insisted on his own and sent the Jinyiwei. I almost forgot about this, but I didn't expect that I would receive such a memorial at this time, five hundred Jinyiweis, to conquer Linyiwei? Why do I think it's so mysterious?"

Changsun Wuji had already turned to the back of the memorial and said, "Your Majesty, there is the whole story here, I will read it."

"quick!"

Changsun Wuji read: "My name Li Chongyi paused his head. When he left Chang'an, I received a gift from my brother. I said that I could only open it when I arrived at Zhenla..."

"... Only then did I learn that Zhenla had been destroyed by Linyi Kingdom a month ago. The king of Linyi was afraid of the Tang Dynasty and delayed it in every possible way. When I thought of the secret bag, I opened the secret bag. Unexpectedly, my elder brother had already expected it-"

"After killing the King of Linyi and the General, I led the five hundred Jinyiwei overnight, and the Zhenla soldiers imprisoned by Linyi pretended to be the ceremonial guards of the King of Linyi, and mixed into the capital of Linyi. That night, the palace city was bloody and was set off again. After noon, the palace city had turned into ashes. The edicts of all places all came to surrender in the wind-"

Changsun Wuji read the whole process as if he was telling a story. When he looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, he looked like "How is this possible?" Wang Gui was happy. This was the result of expanding territory. According to the rules, he was also a title of marquis. Although Wang Pu seemed not that important, this memorial was obviously done by him. Don't want a marquis or a marquis, isn't it too much to have a viscount?

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "Duke Wei thinks, how credible is it?"

Wei Zheng was silent for a while and said, "Apart from the tips, I think it's all trustworthy."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Wei Zheng, Li Mu's life and death are uncertain now. Why are you still fighting him? Why do I think only the tips are credible? What else is exaggerating?"

"No." Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. Although I have seen all kinds of magical things about Zhulu Marquis, I believe that Zhulu Marquis cannot predict what happened thousands of miles away, and I believe that Zhulu Marquis cannot predict it, and it is impossible to predict it. If he can really predict it, then he is not a human, but a god. As for other content, I think it is still credible. Li Chongyi and Wang Puchen have seen it. Li Chongyi is two-meter tall and born with divine power. I believe that he can do what is described in the letter. Moreover, he is only fifteen years old and has simple minds. He cannot make up such a complicated story. Wang Pu, he knows very well how much the crime of deceiving the king, and he will never dare to do such a big lie. Therefore, I believe what he said in the letter."

Li Shimin looked at the others again, and everyone thought for a while, and nodded one after another.

Li Shimin became embarrassed and said, "In theory, Linyi attacked Zhenla first, and the Tang Dynasty gang restored the country later, which was also considered famous. But the place like Linyi... is too far from the Tang Dynasty, and I have heard that there is a lot of miasma there-"

"His Majesty!"

Hearing that Li Shimin wanted to give up Lin Yi, Wang Gui couldn't sit still and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words. It must be no joke that Zhulu Marquis spent so much effort. Although the old minister didn't know what Lin Yi and Zhen La were used, he must have made arrangements. If Your Majesty gave up Lin Yi and Zhen La and wanted to get it back, his army would be in vain, and the blood paid by the Jinyiwei would be wasted."

"What I said is - but Li Mu's life and death are uncertain now." Li Shimin sighed and said, "Transfer my will and ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss and reward Li Chongyi, Wang Pu and others, and ask them to take charge in Linyi first, and then make a decision after finding Zhulu Hou."

"Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji read the memorial again and reminded: "I'm afraid there is something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The memorial mentioned that on the second day after the attack and destruction of Linyi, Li Chongyi returned with Rice Seed and ten Jinyiwei. They traveled lightly and sprinted quickly, and they could almost go to Chang'an in a month and a half. Calculate the day, and it was the end of this month. His Majesty asked him to stay in Linyi, but he might not be able to do so."
