The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 580 Chapter 560 Eight: Chai Shao Wuji Comes to Taiyuan

As soon as the three of them walked out of the door of the house, Chai Shao and Duan Wuji walked to the door. Li Yuan looked at the dusty appearance of the two of them, and quickly asked: "Shaoer, Wuji! This time you marched to the west, that battle How are you playing?

Don't you hurry up and tell me? "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "With my brother and him following me, how can this battle be won?

This time we conquered the whole of Shaanxi!The food, grass and soldiers received are too much.

Didn't we take [-] soldiers with us in this expedition?

Father-in-law, guess how many people we have grown into an army now! "

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that.

"How many people has the army grown to? Are there [-] people!"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Father-in-law, you guessed too little. When I came here, I made detailed statistics. Now our army in Shaanxi has grown to 16 people.

Father-in-law, look how good it is!We occupy the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, with so many troops, who do you think is still our opponent!

Those anti-kings who dare not listen to us, we will send troops to attack them.

In less than three to five years, we will be able to unify the whole country and the world. "

Chai Shao is happy today, what he said is that the saliva is flying straight!

Duan Wuji stood by the side and smiled without saying a word!

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji with a smile and said to Li Yuan: "Father-in-law, to be honest, my brother's strategy was used to capture Shaanxi this time, and my good brother Duan Wuji has made great contributions!

Son-in-law, I'm just playing a role in reputation, and I'm the main general. Without my brother's hard work, we wouldn't be able to achieve such a great result!

Father-in-law, this is a book of credit, you old man will have a look at it when you come down! "

Li Yuan took the credit and handed it over to Li Jiancheng.

"Well! Come down and let me take a closer look!

Chai Er!You have worked hard this time.

After a while, I will serve you a drink for my father.

Why!Shao'er, can Chang'an City be taken down? "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Of course we have to come down! If Chang'an City doesn't come down, can I say that we have got the whole of Shaanxi!"

Li Yuan felt relieved when he heard this, looked at Chai Shao and said, "Shao'er! This expedition for my father can be said to be a complete defeat!

Not only is your brother Yuanba gone, but the Shanxi soldiers I led out also lost tens of thousands of people!

I let those anti-kings chase after me, and I almost wiped out the whole army! "

Speaking of the sadness, this Li Yuan shed tears again.

When Chai Shao saw this, he quickly persuaded him.

"Father-in-law, don't be sad, there is no way for Yuanba to sacrifice his life for the country!

As soon as we arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, we both heard this letter. We both had a deep relationship with that Yuanba. Hearing this news, both of us also shed tears!

Father-in-law, let's all mourn! "

Li Yuan wiped away his tears and said, "Oh! What can we do if we don't mourn!

Well, you won a big victory here, and we finally made up for this little loss! "

Li Yuan glanced at Chai Shao and Duan Wuji and said, "Chai Shao! Wuji, what's the matter when you come back this time!"

After hearing this, Chai Shao quickly said: "Yes, of course there is. There is no important matter, and the two of us dare not leave the camp alone!"

Li Yuan blinked his eyes.

"What's the matter! Just tell me! What is the big deal!

Let me hear it too! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the thing is like this. When our army was in Shaanxi, the secret agent we sent out got the exact news that Yang Su, the king of Yue in Sichuan, was ill. It is said that he was not seriously ill. ah!

I advocate taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and I want to take the opportunity to beat him instead.

Who knows that my brother does not agree, he advocates getting in touch with the Yue King Yang Su, getting close to that old prince, winning his support, and giving him high officials and generous salary, father-in-law, how do you decide on this matter! "

Li Yuan was taken aback for a while, and then asked: "Chai Shao! Both of you tell me your reasons!

Why attack him?Why not attack him!

Say it all!Let me listen to your reasons before making a decision! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao was the first to speak and said: "My lord father-in-law, the old King Yang is ill. Let's take this opportunity to capture his Shu land and take Sichuan in one fell swoop. This great river and mountain will belong to us.

Once we occupy Shu, we can travel south to Yunnan and Guizhou and east to Hubei.

This world is available! "

Li Yuan nodded after hearing this, but didn't speak!

Li Yuan looked at Duan Wuji again.

"Wuji, tell me your reason!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"My lord, although we have 10,000+ troops in Shaanxi, most of these soldiers surrendered!

Everyone is a newcomer, and it is still calm at the moment, but in fact, people's hearts are unstable!

Besides, we just won this Shaanxi, and the hearts of all kinds of people are still floating!

If you send troops rashly, it will definitely cause political turmoil.

The environment in the land of Shu is very different from that of our north. Everyone knows that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

If you want to conquer the land of Shu, tell me that it will not be easy.

Once the attack fails, it will be a great disadvantage to us.

Besides, our Shanxi province is also facing an attack from the east against the king.

Once there is a crisis in these two places, the situation will be unimaginable.

If you want me to say, why don't we first transfer [-] troops from Shaanxi to defend Shanxi Province, which is our hometown!

Once there is a loss in Shanxi, wouldn't we become lonely ghosts?

By then we won't even have a home!

Let me tell you, let's stabilize the situation first and step up military training. If Yue Wang Yang Su surrenders, he will have as many as [-] to [-] troops!

If we are trying to get all the soldiers from Shu, wouldn't our territory be much larger?
If it can be resolved peacefully, why bother to argue more?
The king of Yue is already quite old, how many years can he live?

Let this old man die well, why not?My lord, let me stop here, and you decide! "

Li Yuan looked at Chai Shao and asked, "Chai Shao, do you have the certainty of absolute victory in the crusade against the land of Shu?
How long will it take you to take this land of Shu to me? "

Chai Shao smiled awkwardly.

"Who dares to say this! Maybe the time is longer, maybe the time is shorter, anyway, I can guarantee that we will not be defeated.

How long it takes depends on my brother's ability, maybe three months, maybe three years.

You can ask him this, why ask me!

Li Yuan laughed and said, "I ask you how long it will take for me to take it down if you lead the army yourself."

"Myself?"

Chai Shao was stunned at that moment.

"In my own words, it may take longer. As for how long, I can't say for sure."

Li Yuan smiled wryly after hearing this.

"If you just lead the troops yourself, to be honest, I dare not say whether you can win the battle!

Chai Shao!If this is the case, I think it is the safest method to use Wuji!

The king of Yue, Yang Su, is also a sergeant!I know him better than you!Fighting against such a person, if you want to defeat him, it is quite difficult.

Chai Shao!Promise!After you go back, you can do it in my honor!
For ordinary trivial matters, you can decide on the spot, don't come to me for all big and small matters.

This is called going out, and when things happen, you should make a quick decision and don't be procrastinating.

I, Li Yuan, are such a person. I don't doubt when I employ people, but I don't use doubtful people. "

Li Yuan was in a particularly good mood today, and he regretted that the two of them chatted for a while longer.

The time was not long, and the banquet was set up.

Li Yuan looked at the two people and said with a smile: "You have won a big victory this time, come on, today I will serve you a celebration, let's drink a few more glasses of him.

Young Master Chai, after you go back, immediately transfer [-] elite soldiers to Shanxi. I want to strengthen the defense of Shanxi to prevent those anti-kings from attacking Shanxi Province. "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Yes, my son-in-law obeys the order. I will send fifty thousand elite soldiers over immediately after I go back."

After several people had dinner together, Chai Shao and Duan Wuji got up to leave.

Li Yuan smiled.

"Wuji! Go slowly. Is there anything else I want to ask you?"
