Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 798;

Chapter 750 three; are weighing the pros and cons
After Li Yu wanted a name, Li Shimin pretended to be fooled, gave him the right to build armor and weapons, and put his clansmen down to the Yiwei establishment, and finally managed to pull the Longxi Li family to his own design. on the route...

The reason why Li Shimin agreed with his eldest son to go to the grassland was because of the powerful and terrifying power of Shangsanfang of the Li family in Longxi, but how to get the forces that did not belong to him to act step by step was a big problem.

Fortunately, Li Yu was young and vigorous, and liked to make troubles, and always wanted to show off his prestige, so he got into Li Shimin's scheme step by step, and really led so many people to kill the grassland...

The second house of the Li family in Longxi has been the backbone of the upper third house for hundreds of years. The patriarch of the second house traveled to the prairie. Under the crisis, the upper third house must send an army to protect it.
In fact, Li Shimin's Xuanjia iron cavalry has already detected all the movements of Shangsanfang, including the marching configuration of Shangsanfang,

After the strength of the three tribes on the surface, there are tens of thousands of tribesmen secretly following them. It can be said that Longxi Shangsanfang's operation has brought out most of its strength.

If it is used properly, the Longxi Li family will be able to hold Ashina Sheer, the second tiger on the prairie, firmly in the corner and cannot move!
This is what Li Shimin wants to see the most. On Li Shimin's chessboard, the eldest son is also a flag and the most useful rook.

Although Li Shimin does not admit in his heart that he plotted against his own eldest son, in fact he has been laying the groundwork like this,

Including those that no one knows. Last year, someone privately rumored that the gazelle on the grassland was not only delicious but also endless. Those were actually spread deliberately by businessmen arranged by Li Shimin. Toss on the prairie for a while.

What Li Shimin really wanted to fight was Geely, not Ashinasheer, but he would tear himself apart from Geely, and he dared not be sloppy in other places, otherwise the world would be in chaos. After all, Li Shimin really didn't have many soldiers to mobilize.

In fact, many experts in Li Shimin's abacus have guessed that they are almost inseparable. For example, Qin Qiong has always known these signs, and has communicated with his nephew many times in private, so Qin Qiong never participated in Li Yu's travels on the prairie.

The two giants of the military, Li Jing and Li Jicheng, also knew it well, and Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also knew the emperor's mind clearly, but these two powerful men didn't point it out, let alone talk too much .

Looking at the emperor's expression and tone, he was a little worried that Li Dalang would break the situation, and kept looking at him, Li Jing knew it was time to speak for himself;
"Your Majesty don't need to worry too much."

"Oh? What does Ai Qing think of that rascal's actions?"

"Li Dalang is not a fool, but he suffers because of his young age. As for his wisdom, he is impeccable. Just looking at his actions after leaving Dingxi, you can see that everything is in his calculations.
In the Hulukou Gorge in Wuwei, he also used a strategy similar to that of Ashinasheer, using the oil bottle at the bottom of the Zou family as bait. Wouldn't it be impossible to deal with the two thousand people who died? "

"Well, that's what Ai Qing said, and the comparison between the two is indeed the case."

"Besides, after he played against Ashinasheer, he didn't rush forward or take risks. He only sent his tribe to draw bows and arrows that night, but he didn't go up to fight. From this point of view, Li Dalang knew the depth of grassland people, not Meng Lang. generation.

After eating more than 1 opponents, he did not advance half a step, and still set up camp in the same place. No matter from which angle he looked at it, I guessed that Li Dalang should know something about the situation in Ashinasheer's army. Although I didn't know What method will Li Dalang use to drive away the 10,000+ army on the way forward, but the minister dares to say that he will never fight to the end, let alone confront Ashinasheer's army again. "

Li Shimin, who was impatient for his elder son to do something bad, was reminded by his subordinates and survived. After careful analysis, it was true. Ashinasheer was resourceful, but his elder son was also not a fuel-efficient lamp. He wanted to make him suffer. It's not easy.

"Well, what Ai Qing said makes sense, I hope he won't act recklessly, and it's time for us to discuss the overall plan to send troops."

Li Shiji looked at the emperor and looked at him, so he had to think carefully while organizing what he wanted to say, for fear that he would make the emperor jealous or unhappy if he said something wrong.

"Your Majesty, it is necessary to send troops. Geely looks brilliant now, but he is already on the decline. There is nothing wrong with him wanting to unify the grasslands and consolidate his Khan's status and power.
But he was too impatient. He shouldn't have imprisoned and beaten his nephew Tuli before. Absolutely not. "

Li Shimin nodded in agreement with Li Shiji's analysis.

"That's right, no matter how stupid Tuli is, he would never go to see this uncle."

"So Tuli can be regarded as leading the clansmen in the Northeast to form a faction of their own. In fact, Geely's control over the Northeast has fallen to the point where talking is like farting. We should continue to appease Tuli and tell him to stand on our side with all his heart. side."

"That's right, what Aiqing said is right. Tomorrow, we will arrange for someone capable to take a detour to the Northeast, raise Tuli's title, and open up the situation for him once to make it clear that he has nothing but us. Any way to go, let him completely break the idea of ​​reconciling with his uncle."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Shiji didn't delay after praising the emperor, and simply finished the matter in one breath;
"The three major Turkic powers, except for the Tuli brothers, there are only Jili and Ashinasher. In recent years, Jili has been a little arrogant and conceited. There they beat and imprisoned Tuli, and here they secretly sent People supported Ashina's generals to rebel,

He also asked the tribes around Ashinasheer to unite and take away Ashinasheer's design. He thought he could hide the world from the world, but he didn't know that his nephews on both sides could see through all his methods.
The reason why Ashinasheer didn't take any action was because the time was not ripe, he couldn't counterattack yet, and now it just so happened that Geely sent him to be cannon fodder, taking the opportunity to clean up the opposition forces of his subordinates,
Now Ashinasheer has successfully digested the aliens under the account, and the rest are elite soldiers, full-fledged, able to advance and retreat, and have no worries about the future. The current Ashina is not what it used to be.
Based on a comprehensive analysis, the end of Geely has come. He is besieged on all sides and is waiting to be dealt with. From these points of view, the demise of the Geely Ministry is also God's will. The road ahead... was brought to an end by his own impatience . "

Li Shimin let out a long breath, and then sighed and concluded;

"That's true, but Ashinasheer did not retreat after clearing out the subordinates who wanted to rebel, and the 10,000+ army is still reinforcing one after another. On the surface, it seems that he is going to be loyal to Geely this time, dear friends Do you think he has the intention to make a fake show and go south to Longxi with Geely to break the situation in Hexi?"

Finally, it was time to talk about the important points. A group of civil and military ministers were all thinking carefully in their hearts. Er Li didn't want to say any more, and they all pretended to be thinking and analyzing. Fang No.1 had no choice but to accept the quarrel;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that it cannot be ruled out that Ashina's attempt to make a fake show is real. From the time he led his troops out of the grassland to besiege the two states, in just three days, the storm swept away. Not only did he take the opportunity to digest the internal conflicts, but also In Quick Zeng Bing, it is not difficult to see that Ashinasheer was prepared to go south."

"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Fortunately, the upper third house of the Li family in Longxi is blocking Ashina's way. Otherwise, Geely will also take action. Once Geely comes, the two major grassland forces will jointly act. Tuli will not dare to move around, and may even be forced to send troops to support, if this situation occurs, not only will we not be able to deal with Jili, but we also have to guard against them going south, a vicious battle cannot be escaped."

Du Ruhui continued to analyze with a serious expression;

"But I'm still a little hesitant when I look at Ashinasheer."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, if he really wants to go south with all his heart, then the best and fastest way at this time is to fight fast, add some manpower to the objects he wanted to get rid of, and go back to fight Suzhou, so as to kill them." The remaining troops in the state may not be able to last for two days. To put it bluntly, even if Li Dalang pursues him, he can withstand the temporary invincibility. Besides, Li Dalang will not take the lives of his clansmen and unprovoked enemies to die. spell.

If we analyze it like this, it will take only a day or two for the city of Suzhou to be destroyed. To put it bluntly, if the night raid fails, Ashinasheer will immediately send troops back if he wants to take this road, and he doesn’t even need to send troops. A letter called General Yaerjin's victory over Suzhou, and Ashinasheer will be considered a complete victory this time.

As long as Suzhou City is in hand, Geely will never delay for a moment, the two major forces on the grassland will become close allies in an instant, and Geely will quickly gather various tribes, instead of sitting on the hills and watching tigers fight like this.

But Ashinasheer did not act immediately, he chose to retreat ten miles to avoid the front, and it is true to preserve his own strength. I guess he is more concerned about his uncle. Geely is impatient. Going south, I'm afraid he will lay hands on Ashinasheer on the way.

That side belongs to dogs biting wolves, defending on both sides, so I guessed that Ashinasheer sent troops this time, and there was another route. It is very likely that what he wanted was not to go south, but to go north and go retrograde. "

"North going retrograde?"

"That's right!"

Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched violently, he didn't speak, but looked at the map on the wall with blind eyes.

Du Ruhui was just Du Ruhui, and he pointedly said things that others dared not say, things that they were not sure about, but Li Shimin looked around, and there were few who nodded in confirmation in the general camp. Er Li was still thinking about the problem. The killer Qin Qiong frowned inadvertently in the corner with his eyes closed.

"Well, Aiqing's assumption is very bold, but it is not impossible. Dogs and wolves are hostile, and the short-term peaceful coexistence is also due to the fact that they are evenly matched. Once the strength of one side is weakened, the other side will never let it go. So like this After further analysis, Ashinasheer does have the possibility to go north, and even unite with the Tuli Ministry, and it is possible for the two to become big and evenly divided."

"That's right, Your Majesty is wise, so now Ji Li sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight without moving. He also knows these things so he doesn't dare to move. What he is waiting for is the effect of Ashinasheer, the vanguard.

If Ashina's part achieves results, Geely will send troops immediately. In other words, if Ashina's part suffers heavy losses, Geely will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The grassland tribes went south to attack the cities of the Han people, so as to resolve the increasingly tense situation on the grassland. "

The situation has been clarified, the point has been made, and the civil and military officials have come to their senses. It turns out that it is not that they will not fight, but that it is not the right time. To put it bluntly, the emperor's mind is exactly the same as that of Ji Li Khan, and he said Worried about Li Dalang and Meng Lang, he was actually waiting for the cannon fodder brought by Li Dalang to solve or trap Ashinasheer.

What kind of heart, what kind of affection, when it comes to the juncture of interests, it is so common that it is not even a piece of shit. The sad thing is that Li Dalang still took so many tribesmen to show off on the grassland...

"What Aiqing said is, let's wait, but we can't leave Gansu and Gansu provinces alone. Li Aiqing, what's the arrangement of your military department?"

Li Jing who was thinking raised his head and agreed;
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the [-] troops stationed in Hexi have already been dispatched. Before leaving, I wrote a letter. Our military department arrived last night. It is estimated that reinforcements will be sent tomorrow evening."

"Okay, then send an order to Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baoxiang, telling them to find the right opportunity to take the initiative to attack. The best defense is to attack. With most of Li Dalang's troops beside them, give them another [-]. Although there is no need to fight hard, die Fight hard, but it is still necessary to go out and take action, those soldiers and horses are often nestled in the interior, if they are not pulled out to practice, who knows if it will work when it is used?"

"Abiding by the order, I will do it immediately."

"Aiqing, let's go."

Qin Qiong, who was resting with his eyes closed in the corner, opened his eyes and closed them again after a while.

After Li Jing bid farewell to the emperor, he left the study and left the Tai Chi Palace with a blank face. He wanted to go back to the office to issue orders. Even Changan Sansha hid in the corner without saying a word.

Obviously, these are all lice on the bald man's head. It is obvious that the emperor can't wait and wants a chance. The emperor wants to seize the opportunity of Ji Li Khan who is besieged on all sides to take down the grassland.

So... His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use the lives of tens of thousands of sons to open a gap, forcing Li Dalang to act, and also forcing Ashinasheer's troops to make a quick final decision.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has always acted carefully, actually used 5 people to go out and take the initiative to fight against the elite Turkic soldiers. What else can we say?

I can only lament that one general will eventually become ten thousand bones, this is true, they are all considering the overall situation, soldiers will never know what they are fighting for...

Even when many people are used as bait that can be discarded, they still don't know what the truth is...
