Chapter 482: Start with the Secret Protection Department
Once you enter the imperial city, you are as deep as the sea, and there is no turning back from now on.
This sentence is not just for those women who dream of becoming the emperor's wife.
This is especially true for those who dream of becoming a eunuch and becoming a successful person.
Faced with Li Tai's words.
What else can Xiao Dezi say?
He knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Highness treated me so politely and said these intimate words to me. I will go through fire and water, no matter what..."
Seeing his appearance, Li Tai finally showed a satisfied smile.
He nodded and said, "I have an idea of what to say and do in the future."
"If one day I succeed, I won't treat you badly..."
Xiao Dezi crouched on the ground and said with fear on his face: "Slave... slave, I have a humble position and mediocre ability. I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations..." .??.
"This slave only has this life. If His Highness needs it, all you need to do is tell me that I will serve Your Highness with my life..."
"What is immortal?"
Li Tai stepped forward and helped Xiao Dezi up.
While he helped Xiao Dezi dust off his body, he said: "From now on, as long as I live, you will live..."
Hearing this, Xiao Dezi raised his head and took a deep look at Li Tai, but finally said nothing.
Li Tai walked slowly to the window, looked up to the northwest, and said: "You won this time, but next time, you won't be so lucky."
…
Manna Hall.
Li Shimin is reviewing the memorial.
Eunuch Zhou suddenly walked in: "Your Majesty."
"What's wrong?"
"Are those people who advised me to withdraw my troops here again?"
Li Shimin looked up at Eunuch Zhou, frowned and said, "Didn't I already send a message to the front line?"
"Haven't the envoys for peace talks been sent over?"
"Why do they still bother me?"
"No, Your Majesty, that's not the case." Eunuch Zhou took out a small note from his pocket and handed it to Li Shimin.
Seeing this note, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then read it carefully.
There is no way of knowing what was on the note.
But judging from Li Shimin's expression, he was very unhappy.
Li Shimin glanced at Eunuch Zhou and asked, "Where did you get this?"
"Sent by a secret agent..."
Eunuch Zhou glanced at Li Shimin and said, "If what is said above is true, I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt.
He said bluntly: "Go and suppress this news. Don't let anyone know about it."
"Old slave understands."
After speaking, Eunuch Zhou quickly retreated.
After Eunuch Zhou left, Li Shimin stood up, opened the lamp and threw the note inside to burn it.
Watching the note burn up, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "You have to face this at such a young age, it's really hard on you..."
Li Shimin closed the lamp, but his heart was still restless.
After thinking for a long time, he walked back to the palace, put on casual clothes, and left the palace gate.
…
Yumen Pass, Datang Camp.
Li Chengqian, Li Ji, Li Jing and other generals gathered around the sand table to discuss countermeasures.
"I just received news that Mr. Chen, who is serving as the envoy this time, came by boat via waterway."
"Calculating, it won't take more than three or four days for him to arrive at our camp."
Li Jing looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, even if our army can fight against the Western Turks in these three or four days, it will not cause too much trouble."
"It doesn't matter, don't think about that yet."
"Our current priority
The most urgent thing is to think about how to defeat the Western Turks."
Li Chengqian looked at the sand table in front of him and said: "This time, even if we can't eat the Western Turks in one bite, they will have to break their muscles and bones so that they don't dare to go south for ten years."
"Your Highness, this may be very difficult."
Li Ji said: "Although the Western Turks' military equipment is not as comprehensive as our army, the combat effectiveness of those Western Turks' warriors cannot be underestimated."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his head in confusion: "How strong are the soldiers of the Western Turks?"
"this……"
Li Ji didn't think of how to make a comparison for a while.
It was Li Chongyi who was on the side who spoke first.
Li Chongyi had many dealings with the Western Turks.
Of course he has the most say on this matter. ??
He said directly to Li Chengqian: "In terms of individual combat, even the soldiers of the Northern Desert Turks are slightly inferior to them."
"If we have to make a comparison, their combat effectiveness is almost the same as our Shenwu Army in Chang'an City."
"And it's not just the combat power of a certain elite unit, it's all of them, every soldier..."
Shenwu Army.
Li Shimin's Forbidden Army.
As long as he leads a military expedition in person, the army will accompany him.
The fierce soldiers of the Western Turks can be compared with these people, so you can imagine how effective they are in combat.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian was also very surprised.
He also didn't expect that the Western Turks' soldiers were so powerful.
"If this is the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle..."
After all, the combat power of the Shenwu Army cannot be matched by even the Liangzhou soldiers, who are known for their bravery.
But now, each of the soldiers of the Western Turks actually has the combat power of a divine warrior soldier.
"this……" >
Li Chengqian frowned and didn't say a word for a long time.
The atmosphere at the scene also became quiet with Li Chengqian's silence.
I don't know how long it took before Li Chongyi suddenly said: "By the way, Your Highness, a few days ago, our army besieged a Western Turkic army and captured many prisoners."
"According to the accounts of those prisoners, almost everyone in the Western Turks is at odds with each other. Some tribes were forced to succumb to Zhao Youlin because of his power."
"Including the secret protection department that fought with our army before, they were forced to go to the battlefield by Zhao Youlin."
"If our army can use the art of centrifugation, the Western Turks will be in chaos without fighting, and they may return to the chaotic situation before."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian suddenly moved his eyebrows.
"That's not a bad idea."
"But, how to make this centrifuge?"
The centrifuge is more than just talk.
If you make one wrong step in the middle operation, everything will go wrong.
Li Chengqian didn't want to work hard for a long time, only to end up with nothing.
At this time, Li Ji suddenly said: "As far as I know, the secret protection department and Zhao Youlin's department have always been in harmony with each other. Although they sent troops to support Zhao Youlin this time, they were forced to come."
"Moreover, while the war was ongoing, Zhao Youlin also tried to use the lives of the Secret Guard tribe members to force Hu Miluo, the chief of the Secret Guard tribe, to launch a suicide attack against us, the Tang Dynasty."
"At the beginning, we saw that Zhao Youlin planned to use this to create hatred between our army and the Ministry of Secret Protection, so we did not go to war."
"Just like His Highness's command in the Northeast, he built a barrier on the spot and only defended but not attacked."
"Later, when the secret protection department saw that they could not break through our army's camp, they withdrew their troops to the north of Tianshan Mountain."
Li Ji looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Since Chongyi has mentioned the Secret Protection Department, we might as well start with this Secret Protection Department..."
