One day, two days, three days...

One week two weeks three weeks...

As time passes by bit by bit, the Right Guard's mastery of the Modao tactics is becoming more and more mature. This is also an advantage brought by veterans. Veterans have strong qualities and are far more acceptable to various tactics than new soldiers. They are also affiliated with the first army and have already developed a tacit understanding between them. As long as they are given a certain amount of time to get in, they can operate easily in complex and changeable tactics.

Although the Modao's tactics are flexible and changeable, they are not complicated and complicated, so it is not difficult for the veterans of the Right Guard who have been through the battlefield for a long time.

The two thousand five hundred soldiers of the Right Guard grew up quickly in the time created by the Ministry of War.

These days, Luo Shixin has been practicing troops in the military camp, and he is also quarreling with Zheng Liwan at home.

There was a beauty chatting at home, and Luo Shixin also felt that life added a lot of fun.

Life is fulfilling and satisfying.

But soon the peaceful life was broken by the news that came to the north.

"General Luo, the Turks have invaded!" The person who told Luo Shixin about this news was Tang Xian, who was also the General of the Right Guard. Unlike Luo Shixin, Tang Xian had been in office for two years and had a certain amount of power in Chang'an. He was much more knowledgeable than him. Shortly after the news came, he received the news.

Luo Shixin looked at Tang Xian with a little calmness and thought to himself: "We're finally here!"

Luo Shixin expected the invasion of the Turks. Although the historical process had minor changes due to his appearance, the effect of the butterfly was far from affecting the overall situation, especially in the face of the insatiable Turkic Khan Jie Li.

Jie Li Khan was also a hero for the Turks. As the king of the northern grassland, he had hundreds of thousands of brave and fighting Turkic cavalry, and was the number one force in the world. During the chaos in the world, Jie Li followed the tribute system of the Central Plains and asked the princes of the Central Plains who were next to the Turkic territory to pay tribute to them. To put it bluntly, he paid the protection fee. If he did not pay, he would send troops to rob him.

As a grassland nation, the Turks have the habit of being like wolves and never face each other head-on duels with you. They often have groups of thousands of people, encountering annihilation of weak people, encountering large troops to escape, specifically loot the villages, burn, kill and loot, leaving all the princes next to the Turks powerless.

Whether it was Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, or Dou Jiande, the powerful people who were dominant, they had to pay the protection fee obediently. Not to mention Gao Kaidao, Yuan Junzhang, and Liang Shi were all small princes with Turkic thugs. They almost recognized Jie Li as their father, and they beat them wherever the Turkic pointed.

This is also helpless. Even though powerful people like Li Tang and Dou Jiande have strong strength, they are really powerless to face the Turkic cavalry. The Turks massacres today and rob two counties tomorrow. Who can bear this in the long run? They can't let the people live in a city without farming or working.

Instead of the Turks coming to rob, it is better to pay the protection fee obediently, so that the casualties of the people can be avoided, and the losses are not that serious.

However, the most important thing is to pay the protection fee, so that they can have the extra troops to expand their territory. Take Li Tang as an example. If they don’t give gifts to the Turks obediently, what will they use to fight Guanzhong? Thank God for those tens of thousands of new recruits who can defend against the Turks, and there is no Tang Dynasty.

Under this mechanism, the Turks obtained a lot of wealth without spending one soldier, and Jie Li Khan's prestige also increased.

However, as the Tang Dynasty gradually unified, the princes who respected the Turks destroyed the Li Tang. The protection fees received by the Turks naturally shrank significantly, and Li Tang became stronger and stronger, and gradually began to ignore the Turks and no longer pay the protection fees. Li Yuan even ordered Li Jiancheng to be responsible for the northern Turkic defense line and prepare for fighting against the Turks.

The Turks were naturally unwilling to let their fat fly like this, supporting their strength to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty everywhere, and even sending troops and food. After Liu Heita was destroyed, Jie Li found that there were many younger brothers around him, and no one could compete with Li Tang.

So Jie Li decided to do it himself.

In early September, the fifth year of Wude.

The Turkic army rushed towards Li Tang all over the mountains and fields, expressing their desire to rely on themselves and have enough food and clothing.

Seeing that Luo Shixin had no extra expression, Tang Xian said in surprise: "General Luo has already known about it in advance?"

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "I didn't get the news, I was just mentally prepared. The Turks could not sit still and watch the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger. It is now autumn, and the autumn is tall and the horses are fat, which is suitable for their military operations."

Tang Xian said solemnly: "The general is right, but this time it is not an ordinary invasion. It is said that the Turks dispatched 200,000 elite cavalry, with great momentum, and the mountains and fields were like ants gathering."

Luo Shixin couldn't help but gasp after hearing this number. Two hundred thousand spirit cavalry... Not to mention two hundred thousand spirit cavalry, with Li Tang's current strength, it would be very lingering to gather 200,000 equal forces in a short period of time, let alone two hundred thousand cavalry.

In front of the 200,000 cavalrymen, the 2,500 soldiers under his command were like ants, and could drown in one person with one mouthful of saliva.

"What should I do?" Although Luo Shixin was very skilled and bold, the number of 200,000 elite riders was really scary.

Tang Xian shrugged indifferently and said, "I don't know much about whether to fight the specific situation."

The Turkic army was approaching, which naturally caused shocks between the government and the country.

Fighting or not is a big quarrel in the court.

Those who say they don’t fight think that the Turks are powerful. The Tang Dynasty needs rest and rest, rather than fighting with the Turks when they are weak. The fight naturally means that they were forced by the situation and had to bow to the Turks. Now they have the strength to fight, and bow their heads, which hurts the dignity of the Tang Dynasty. What’s more, the Turks are an insatiable evil wolf, and blind compromise will never satisfy his appetite.

In the court, the husband said that his mother had reason and the mother had reason, and the argument was so irrelevant.

However, this has nothing to do with Luo Shixin. Although Luo Shixin entered the Twelve Guards and was considered one of the core generals of Li Tang, the overall situation and policies in the court were still unrequited. However, he was still very concerned about this situation. He raised troops for a thousand days and used troops for a while. He spent a lot of effort to reform the Right Guard, so that he could fight against the Turks.

He cares a lot whether to fight or not.

Although there were many quarrels in the court, there were only two people who could really control the situation.

In this overall situation, Li Yuan only trusts his two sons: Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and second son General Tiance Li Shimin.

The defense line against the Turks was formed by Li Jiancheng. He had no choice but to write a word.

As a general of Tiance, Li Shimin was in charge of Li Tang's campaign and also liked to speak with his strength, which was also a typing method.

The eldest and second brothers all say to beat him!

Princess Pingyang also emerged at this time and said to be beaten.

Just fight!

Li Yuan's subsequent order was issued very quickly, and he immediately issued an appointment with Li Jian as the chief Li Shimin as the auxiliary, and they were fully responsible for resisting the Turkic invasion.
Chapter completed!
