Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1400
Although a group of ministers were very enthusiastic to offer their words and suggestions, they were actually of no effect, and the real strategy for raising troops could not be finalized at the Great Court Meeting, because it might be leaked.

The Great Court Meeting was finally over, and Li Shimin ordered a group of important ministers to go to the Liangyi Hall to continue the discussion.

All the ministers dispersed one after another, Cheng Yaojin and others also turned their heads to leave, but turned around and found that Su Cheng was still standing there stupidly motionless.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong looked at Su Cheng speechlessly. Could this kid be asleep?

The two of them were able to sleep with their eyes open at the Dachaohui because of their ability to deal with the Dachaohui. However, they couldn't sleep so dead with their eyes open. They didn't even know that the Dachaohui was over.

Besides, it's fine to sleep in those boring big court meetings. This time the big court meeting is related to the exciting event of the imperial court dispatching troops, how could it be possible to fall asleep?
After this grand court meeting, the two of them were yelling dry.

"It's such an important court meeting, why are you still asleep?" Cheng Yaojin slapped Su Cheng on the shoulder and asked.

Su Cheng came back to his senses and looked around wonderingly: "The Great Court is over?"

Li Ji smiled and said: "Looking at you, you must have not saluted when His Majesty retreated just now."

Su Cheng couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard that, he really didn't salute just now, but it's just that he didn't salute, it's not a big problem.

Yu Chigong leaned over and asked dismissively: "You actually slept so dead at the court meeting, what did you do last night? You won't take another concubine, right?"

Su Cheng was very helpless: "What do you mean again? Where did I take a concubine?"

That's true, if Su Cheng takes a concubine, they have no reason not to know, Cheng Yaojin wondered: "Then why did you sleep so dead?"

Su Cheng explained: "I didn't fall asleep. I was thinking about sending troops."

Li Ji couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked, "Did you come up with something?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's a bit of a sign."

When Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin heard it, they immediately came up together, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Tell me, tell me!"

Although they felt that Su Cheng might not be able to match them even though he was a rising star in terms of his ability to lead troops in battle, but Su Cheng really had a lot of tricks, and all the past events proved that Su Cheng's tricks were all awesome. very.

Even Li Ji looked at Su Cheng expectantly, wanting to hear what Su Cheng had to say.

At this time, a servant trotted over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please go to Liangyi Hall as soon as possible."

In Liangyi Hall, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji and other civil and military officials were all present. Li Shimin's expression behind the imperial case was as usual, not angry, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Since the destruction of the Eastern Turks, it has been rare to see such a scene of North Korea's Wenwu military planning to send troops so wholeheartedly. Songtsan Gampo sent envoys to stop us from sending troops, but it made the whole court twist into one The rope is like lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"However, I still feel very annoyed. I didn't expect that the mere Tubo envoy would dare to despise Tang Dynasty so much and threaten me!"

"This time, I will definitely inflict heavy damage on the Tubo people. It is best to keep all the Tubo people in Tuyuhun!"

Li Xiaogong raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, send a large army to cut off Tubo's rear route, cut off its rear route and then come to a urn to catch turtles."

Li Shimin got up and came to Yutu, and pondered: "It's not easy to cut off Tubo's retreat, and you have to catch the turtle in the urn. Only mobilizing [-] troops is definitely not enough, at least another [-] troops must be mobilized!"

Fang Xuanling pondered: "The grain and grass in Chang'an, Luoyang and Longyou are not enough, and we have to continue to mobilize the peasants to collect grain and grass."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but frowned deeply when he heard that, cutting off Tubo's retreat is indeed a way to wipe out Tubo's soldiers and horses, but mobilizing so many troops would consume a lot of food and grass!

And transporting more food and grass means waiting for more conscripts, more conscripts will consume more food and grass, and delay more farming...

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has already consumed a lot of food and grass. If we send 20 troops, it will take a long time to consume too much food and grass. The imperial court has managed to accumulate it over the years. Is there any other good strategy? "

Li Shimin turned his head and asked: "The pharmacist hasn't said much these two days, do you have a good plan in mind?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "I have been thinking about it for the past two days, but I still haven't come up with a perfect plan."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "If Duke Wei has any good strategies, you might as well tell them first, and then everyone can brainstorm."

Li Jing took a step forward, pointed at the map and said, "Our army is divided into three groups, and the main force will move westward from here. The main force of Tubo must be near Tuyuhun King City. After they find out that our army has dispatched troops, they will definitely gather troops to stop them. The battlefield is probably around here. .”

"After the defeat of Tubo's main force, they will not immediately flee and return to Tubo. They will definitely continue to gather troops for another battle."

"A large army marches westward along here, and another army marches westward along here, forming a siege."

"However, there are two problems. One is not sure where Tubo will set up the second decisive battle, and whether there will be an unknown path to escape. Second, it is not sure whether Tubo will increase its troops."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "It's the same as what I thought, but if Tubo will increase its troops, there must be a large army to fight, which means that there will be a gap in the encirclement, and the Tubo people can still continue to escape after they are defeated."

A group of civil servants and military generals stared at the map and began to think seriously. Of course, such a fight would have great success, but there is also a big possibility that they will only repel the Tubo people, and will not cause serious damage to the Tubo people.

It is really not difficult to repel the Tubo people, but it is really difficult to kill the Tubo people who attacked Tuyuhun.

When everyone was a little worried, Cheng Yaojin turned his head and asked, "Su Cheng, don't you have any ideas?"

All eyes immediately focused on Su Cheng, and Li Shimin said expectantly: "Su Cheng, do you have an idea? Tell me quickly."

Although in terms of military ability, Su Cheng is still a late learner, but Su Cheng has always been able to create miracles, so Cheng Yaojin's words are like igniting hope for Li Shimin.

Su Cheng coughed dryly and said with a smile: "I have thought about it a bit. You can set a trap to lure the Tubo people into ambush, and then catch them all in one go."

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when they heard this. They thought that Su Cheng could come up with some amazing idea, but they didn't expect it to be such a simple idea.
