    Fang Xuanling entered the main hall, bowed to Li Shimin, and then stood up with a bow.  Li Shimin waved Fang Xuanling to sit down, and quickly said that Li Ji was defeated in Shazhou, and the army was almost completely lost as well.

    Finally, Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, Li Ji lost again, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Even after several consecutive defeats, the Tang side can hardly bear it. Although we still  You can recruit soldiers from the government to fight again, but all the people in the world will discuss it, and the public opinion of the people will be out of control. Xuanling, what should I do?"

    Fang Xuanling's heart sank when he heard the words.

    Datang and Du Qi's Xia Kingdom have already fought several times, four times before and after.

    ? For the first time, Hou Junji led troops to attack Du Qi and was defeated, and Hou Junji also fell into Du Qi's hands.  In the end Li Shimin led his troops there, but Li Shimin never fought Du Qi, but Li Shimin also retreated without a fight.  Although at that time, an agreement was reached and the war did not expand, but in a sense, Datang was defeated.

    The second time, it was still Hou Junji who started the war. Hou Junji fought Du Qi again and was defeated and captured. In the end, Li Shimin mobilized an army to kill Guazhou, and Hou Junji was also killed.  In the final battle at Niulanshan, Li Shimin was defeated again, and even Duan Zhixuan was captured.  Although in the end Li Yuan came forward to negotiate a peace, and the two sides stopped fighting in the end, Datang was defeated after all.

    The third time, it was Li Shimin who personally led the troops to provoke the war, and joined forces with Goguryeo, Silla and other countries. An army of more than 300,000 troops went to Rouyuan County, Yizhou, but in the end they could not conquer it. Instead, Li Jing was on the front line of Sanqiu Mountain.  Defeated, and Duan Zhixuan finally died in battle.  Li Shimin led his army to retreat back to Guazhou City, but did not hold it, and finally retreated in panic.

    For the fourth time, it was not Li Shimin who led the army himself, but Li Ji who was in charge of commanding the army.  Li Ji fought with Du Qi in Shazhou, and once again lost troops and lost generals. Qu Tutong died in battle, and even Liu Hongji died in Du Qi's hands.  The army of more than 200,000 people was also defeated again, and only 30,000 to 40,000 people were lucky enough to survive, but they also began to evacuate to Suzhou.

    Four fights, one defeat after another.

    ? Say more and more, but Fang Xuanling finds it difficult to lose consecutively.

    How to fight?

    How to resist Du Qi?

    Fang Xuanling fell silent, for a while, he did not give an answer.

    Li Shimin didn't ask any further questions either.

    The monarch and his ministers just sat like this.

    The atmosphere in the hall was extremely embarrassing for a moment, and even more dignified and uneasy.

    After a long time, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, regarding the current war with Du Qi, it is still too early to make a conclusion about the outcome. We still have troops in our hands, and Suzhou is also in our hands.  Apart from this, Longyou Dao also acts as a barrier to the west of our Great Tang, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Great Tang for the time being."

    "If you want to say that the imperial court has given Li Ji support, it has reached its maximum limit now."

    "I want soldiers to pay soldiers."

    "Give food to food."

    "A weapon to a weapon."

    "In short, we have done everything we can do now. If we want to give more, we have no ability."

    Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I believe that under the current circumstances, the only thing the court can do is to trust Li Ji. Trust him, and he can lead our people to turn things around. Just wait a little longer, there is still a chance.  "

    Li Shimin sighed dejectedly.

    Opportunities naturally exist.

    But the chances are quite slim.

    This is what Li Shimin regrets, and Li Shimin has never been a person who likes to be passive everywhere.  Now that he has responded early and even took the initiative to counterattack, he will have a chance to win.  But being beaten passively all the time, it is impossible for Li Shimin's army to win, and even the chance of winning is quite small.

    Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "Xuanling, is there really no way to change the current unfavorable situation?"

    "No!"

    Fang Xuanling shook his head.

    When Li Shimin heard Li Jing's words, he was also a little worried.  Even if it is Du Qi's army, it is not easy to succeed in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, it will definitely have a great impact on the Tang Dynasty as a whole.

    Li Shimin has now stabilized the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone says that he is in charge of it.  But in fact, the founding of the Tang Dynasty was only more than ten years old.  After more than ten years, once the people can't live anymore, there may be a rebellion.

    Li Shimin had no solution, and Fang Xuanling had no strategy for the time being, so he said, "This is not an easy matter, so you have to think about it immediately.bsp;Li Shimin turned around and said, "What other instructions does the emperor have?"

    Li Yuan lowered his eyebrows, rubbed his wrinkled face, and said, "I feel that I don't have many good days to live. My body is getting worse and worse, and I feel a little light. Even these days, the old man dreams back at midnight.  , I often dream about your elder brothers and the others, and I also dream about your mother and the others."

    After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "If you want to have a decisive battle with Du Qi, then hurry up and fight. If you win, the old man can die with a smile on his face. Even if the situation is unfavorable, the old man can still help you a little.  Let¡¯s go to the front line again and try our best. So as soon as possible, take advantage of the old man¡¯s old bones, which can still be of some use, don¡¯t delay.¡±

    Li Shimin's heart softened instantly.

    A pair of eyes are even more moist.

    He did not expect that Li Yuan would say such a thing when his body was already so uncomfortable.

    Perhaps Li Yuan is for Datang.

    After all, it was also for him.

    Li Shimin took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Father, I understand, and I will leave."

    Li Yuan waved his hand.

    Li Shimin turned and left. Li Yuan sat alone in the hall, looking at everything in the hall.  In his heart, however, there was a little emptiness.  During this period of time, Li Yuan often couldn't read books, and didn't have the mind to write and read. He often dreamed about his former relatives and former subordinates.

    "Alas eventful autumn!"

    A sigh echoed in the hall.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
