Datang: I was tricked by the system

Chapter 223 Battle?Or not to fight?

After starting from Li Ji, Li Shimin counted the days on his fingers, and he knew better than anyone else after a few days.

But he still asked, and he didn't know whether he wanted a result or peace of mind.

"Going back to His Majesty, it's been ten days. If there are no accidents, I will be back soon." Fang Xuanling silently calculated in her heart and replied.

"Tuyuhun's mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. I hope he can come back safely." Li Shimin sighed and said worriedly. Although Li Ji was asked to investigate the reason for the cut-off of the water source, it involved foreign tribes after all.

In addition, not many people were brought by Li Ji, which made Li Shimin extremely worried.

……

Two days later, Li Ji stood on the political hall, his whole body covered in dust and turned into a clay figurine.

"Your Majesty, Khan Fuyun of Tuyuhun is really a fucking villain. He actually cut off the flow of the Zhuo River from the upper reaches, which led to the water cutoff in the Tang Dynasty."

"There is such a thing!"

Li Shimin's face was serious, and he clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the dragon chair.

"General Duan Zhixuan, Zuo Xiaowei!"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to lead one hundred thousand elite troops to march into Tuyuhun."

"The last general takes orders!"

When Duan Zhixuan stood up and was about to retreat, there was a voice of disapproval from the court: "Your Majesty, you can't, the people of the Tang Dynasty don't have enough to eat, and they are powerless to fight at this time."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Could it be possible that if we don't fight this battle, we, Tang Dynasty, can change the status quo? If we don't fight, the common people will die of thirst!"

He has swallowed his anger for a long time these years. If this continues, won't everyone think that he is weak and bully, and anyone can come and beat them?

"Tuyuhun is against the sky, and I, Tang Dynasty, will do justice for the sky."

"But..." The civil servants were relatively conservative, and whenever they heard about the war, they would speak out to persuade them.

And this is exactly what the military generals hate most about them. They just talk nonsense with their mouths, red lips and white teeth.

"If you don't move, you can't do this, you can't do that, how did you not fight our Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty was originally a generation of tyrants, and this world was bought by His Majesty's half-life. It's just you guys who are nagging all day long. You can't do this, you can't do that. When the Turks came in, why didn't you persuade them?"

"Everyone is like a coward, and they will play tricks." Cheng Yaojin has never been used to these civil servants, and when he heard what they said, he immediately became angry.

Of course, there must be Li Shimin's credit for this.

He can't say these words, but with a wink, Cheng Yaojin can understand, and when he gets angry, he will naturally be merciless.

"It's fine if you don't want to fight. You can do it. You can go. My old Cheng wants to see if the Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun will give you this face. With your broken mouth, you can cut off the war." Let go of the river."

Cheng Yaojin became more energetic as he talked.

Although the civil servants have powerful mouths, once they involve themselves in it, they will be discouraged.

They can express their opinions on whether to fight or not, but if they are asked to negotiate with the Tuyuhun people, they feel cowardly when they think about it.

"Wei Zheng? What's your opinion?"

"The minister is in charge!" Wei Zheng stood up and gave his answer without hesitation. "but……"

At a turning point, Wei Zheng lifted everyone's hearts fiercely.

Li Shimin was also a little nervous, not knowing what was behind this guy.

"Your Majesty, I think that the military strength and national power of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to support us to attack Tuyuhun."

Li Shimin: "..." Isn't this still advocating not to fight?Dare to love Wei Zheng just said a fart in the past half a day.

Without waiting for Li Shimin and the others to express their opinions, Wei Zheng went on to say: "The interruption of the Yellow River not only affects us, but also affects Youtang. We can take this opportunity to form an alliance with Youtang."

To put it bluntly, what Wei Zheng meant was that Tuyuhun must be taught a lesson, but the Tang Dynasty's national power was weak and it needed to borrow troops from You Tang.

As the mother river of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River has been breastfeeding the children of the Chinese land since ancient times. Not only that, the Yellow River, as one of the main dragon veins of the Chinese land, is determined not to allow any accidents.

Even though Li Shimin didn't want to bow his head to Li Yi, he had to think about cooperating with him at this time.

Moreover, as Wei Zheng said, the Yellow River not only affects the people of Tang Dynasty, but also affects the people of Youtang, although it is not as great as that of Datang.

With this, Li Shimin has the confidence to think that Li Yi will cooperate with him.

Equal cooperation is not considered a bow. Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little better.

"Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, I order the two of you to leave immediately and go to You Tang to discuss cooperation with Li Yi."

Li Shimin knew that Li Yi had resentment towards him, but he knew that Li Yi knew the general situation, and he would not be stingy or hesitate in the face of this kind of national justice.

Moreover, the disappearance of the Yellow River will not be good for You Tang, and Li Yi has no reason to let it go regardless of love, reason, public or private.

In addition, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Li Yi have very good personal relationships, this cooperation is sure to be a success.

"The minister obeys the order."

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong took orders at the same time and walked out of the Yizheng Hall.

……

At this time, in the Qianyuan Hall of the Youtang Palace, Li Yi didn't know that Li Shimin had already made up his mind, but Chen Jinbai was also telling him about it at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Jinan government has come to report that the water level of the Yellow River has dropped sharply, and I'm afraid it will stop flowing."

"There is such a situation!"

Li Yi was surprised, the super drought five years ago did not stop, this year it shouldn't be.

Fortunately, there have been several light rains in Hebei and Henan provinces, and the drought problem has not reached the point of no return. However, Li Yi, who has stopped the flow of the Yellow River, still attracted Li Yi's attention.

"You arrange someone to investigate the situation in Chang'an. The water flows from there, and see if there is something wrong with Datang."

"Follow the order." Chen Jinbai took the order and stepped back.

Lu Ziyu came in with a tray, "Your Majesty was busy with government affairs, but he didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Don't do that again next time."

While talking, Lu Ziyu placed the meal in front of Li Yi.

Although the tone was somewhat reproachful, there was tenderness in the eyes.

Li Yi grabbed her hand that was putting down the plate, and gently dragged Lu Ziyu into his arms. Smelling her fragrant and elegant breath, Li Yi said lightly: "I ate too much last night, but I still eat a lot." Not feeling hungry."

Hearing this, Lu Ziyu's face turned red instantly.

She naturally knew what Li Yi was talking about, but he said such things in such a serious manner, which made her even more overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, how could you do this? It's not good for people to hear the sky and daylight..."
