Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 61 Why Are You Everywhere?
Chengqian Palace.

Li Shimin, who had just returned from the discussion in the Liangyi Hall, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was talking eloquently in front of him with strange eyes.

"The Turks think that their army is strong and their horses are strong, and they have the intention of belittling China. If they make peace without fighting and show their weakness, what can they do if they come back next year?"

"The current strategy is not as good as attacking them. After victory, they will make peace. If war is used to force peace, it will be both kind and powerful."

Gao Shilian at the side suppressed a smile, while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both nodded in praise.

"This move not only demonstrates force, but also has no danger of overthrow." Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said, "The auxiliary machine's strategy is appropriate, please think carefully, Your Highness."

Using war to force peace is not a novel tactic in later generations, and it was not a great strategy even in ancient times.

However, when the Turks went south in a large scale and the Korean and Chinese soldiers were trembling, choosing to use war to make peace required keen eyesight and amazing judgment.

In the final analysis, Li Shan is talking about it... Of course, he is also talking about it based on the analysis of historical facts.

After all, there will be a Weishui alliance a few years later in history, and Li Tang persisted until that time, and even captured and killed Liu Heita. Obviously the Turks failed to attack Li Tang this time, but they did not lose much strength. It may be a strike with peace.

Li Shimin's eyes became even weirder, he hesitated for a while before he smiled and said, "If it wasn't for the solitary walking back from the Liangyi Hall, I would have thought that you two could have an affair."

The daily life is the daily life officer, whatever the emperor does, the daily life officer will be present... Today, when discussing military and state affairs, the daily life officer is naturally indispensable.

After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling rarely asked with a grin regardless of his manners: "Is it the same for today's discussion?"

Li Shimin nodded with a suppressed smile, "Almost exactly the same."

"Auxiliary machine, why didn't you say anything a few days ago?"

"Why did you suddenly propose today?"

Changsun Wuji was a little embarrassed, his face turned black and he shut up, Gao Shilian coughed twice, "But the younger generation is talking nonsense, and occasionally hits the target, Your Highness will laugh."

"Junior?" Li Shimin asked with interest: "Elder Sun Chong? Gao Xun?"

Gao Shilian glanced at his nephew, whose face was getting darker, and looked away before he said softly: "Yesterday, Li Shan of Dongshan Temple went to the Changsun Mansion for a banquet. During the banquet..."

"Auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise, he knew very well his brother-in-law's attitude towards Li Shan.

Fang Xuanling recounted what happened a few days ago in a low voice, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness praises him for being both civil and military, that's all, but such a righteous deed will surely be passed down to the world."

Li Shimin also attached great importance to Changsun Chong, and blamed him: "I don't know about this matter, why hide it?"

"Nowadays state affairs are the most important thing, why would the auxiliary machine dare to bother His Highness with private matters." Gao Shilian said with a smile: "Da Lang came to thank you, and invited Li Shan to the banquet yesterday, the previous suspicion has been resolved."

Du Ruhui got impatient and brought the topic back, "Who said it during yesterday's banquet?"

After a moment of silence, looking at his uncle with a strange expression, Changsun Wuji closed his eyes, "Li Shan."

Li Shimin laughed dumbfounded, and asked carefully.

Seeing that his nephew really didn't want to open his mouth, Gao Shilian told the story with a smile, "It's just drunk and talking nonsense, unexpectedly it hits the mark."

"It is true that you are drunk, but it is definitely not nonsense." Du Ruhui said decisively: "This son is deep in thought, if he is not drunk, it is difficult to say these words."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Because of the rise in food prices, the king of Qi was summoned to lead his army back to Guanzhong before he sent troops to Hebei... so he concluded that the court had long intended to prepare for war. This son really has a strategy in mind."

Gao Shilian said with a smile: "As far as he was drunk yesterday, the cicadas were aware of the autumn wind before it moved."

"Cicadas are aware of the autumn wind before it moves?" Li Shimin savored it for a long time, nodded and said: "I have never heard that Li Shan has such a poetic talent."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and the former said solemnly: "Your Highness, Li Shan, although he is young and needs to be sharpened, but he is as careful as he is, and he sees things clearly. Please condescend to accept him."

"Although this person used to talk about others behind his back, Du is not a narrow-minded person." Du Ruhui said with emotion: "His Highness likes to make friends with heroes, such a person is rare in the whole world."

Li Shimin was also speechless, he just let out some rumors, hoping to use Li Shan to judge the attitude of Hedong Pei's family in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Shan and the children of Prince Qin's mansion fought so hard, and now they have such a deep friendship, and they kept stabbing him in front of him.

You are too fidgety.

Li Shimin likes to take risks personally on the battlefield, he is unparalleled in bravery, and has always been brave in leading troops in battle, but even if his nature is like this, he has to be cautious when facing a bipolar Pei family.

He hesitated for a while, hesitated for a while... Li Shimin couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, so he simply and rudely broke the topic.

"Today's discussion, tomorrow's decree, the two armies will go hand in hand." Li Shimin snorted, "The East Palace leaves the Binzhou Road."

Changsun Wuji really didn't want to hear that name again, so he quickly answered, "Then His Highness came from Puzhou Road?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not continue to argue, but began to discuss the next battle strategy.

Jieli Khan led [-] cavalry on a rampage in Hedong, crossed Yanmen, attacked Bingzhou, passed through Jiexiu, passed through Queshu Valley, and hit Jinzhou, almost penetrating the Hedong area.

However, there were only a few thousand Turkic partial teachers wandering back and forth between Lingzhou and Yuanzhou.

The mind of the sage Li Yuan is very obvious, which makes Li Shimin extremely depressed.

Because Puzhou Road belongs to Hedong, and Binzhou Road belongs to Guanzhong.

In other words, it is understandable that Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to confront Jieli Khan with an army of [-]. After all, it is Li Shimin who can bear this burden.

But the problem is that Li Yuan also asked Prince Li Jiancheng to send troops to Binzhou Road to deal with the Turkic partial division with only a few thousand people.

Thousands of partial teachers... Not to mention the many famous generals in the Qin Palace, even the clan generals such as Li Shentong and Li Shenfu are enough to take on the role.

Li Yuan obviously asked Li Jiancheng to make military achievements, and he was still in Guanzhong, which ensured Li Jiancheng's safety to the greatest extent.

"Li Shenfu, the governor of Bingzhou, the king of Xiangyi County, and Xiao Wei, the governor of Fenzhou, these two can lead the army to attack." Du Ruhui made some calculations, "Your Highness will lead the left and right six guards to Puzhou to deploy defenses, and win two games. It is not difficult to force peace with this.”

Li Shimin was a little listless. Since Liu Heita recovered, he had been preparing for the Turks to go south for two months. As long as the Turks did not make up their minds to take over the Central Plains, there would not be too many obstacles in ending this war.

What Li Shimin is worried about is the boss... He is almost certain that Li Jiancheng will lead the army to go out and return with a big victory in all likelihood.

At that time, at least in the eyes of my father, the crown prince of the East Palace will have both ability and virtue, and he will not lack military merit... As for the gold content, it will be a matter for the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see wisdom.

Li Shimin simply left the matter to his staff, left the palace by himself, and rode that ugly curly horse called Captain Chi Gong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Gongjin who just came to vote.

Zhang Gongjin was recommended by Yu Chigong and Li Shiji to join the Qin Palace.

After leaving the Fanglin Gate, Li Shimin let his horse gallop in the Forbidden Garden. With his bow and arrow, Li Shimin shot a deer that was walking through the forest.

"Your Highness is good at archery."

"When did you learn to compliment?" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Respecting morality is not weaker than Gu."

Yu Chigong also shot two preys with his arrows. Seeing his guards approaching his horse, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, may one person be called to accompany the army?"

"Who is respected and favored?"

"Although this person doesn't understand the way of battle, he is good at medical skills and is good at bandaging to stop bleeding. If he can join the army, it will be beneficial!"

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was relaxed, Yuchi smiled and said: "Actually, His Highness also knows that Li Shan of Dongshan Temple."

Li Shimin was stunned, his expression froze, and the longbow in his hand almost dropped.

why is it you again?
Why are you everywhere?
You are too good at tossing, too good at dancing!

　During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone a family reunion, happiness and happiness, but Lao Xu is more miserable. Tonight, I will cook in the kitchen, stewed duck soup, edamame chicken, braised crucian carp...
