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

Chapter 604 590 Three: Li Yuan negotiated to decide on the south, and the people of the world sent troops in Wuji

As soon as Li Yuan saw that the north was basically pacified, he hurriedly called Duan Wuji, Duan Tieniu, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Chai Shao and others back to Beijing to discuss the conquest of the southern provinces.

After receiving the order, everyone immediately left their station and ran straight to Chang'an City.

When everyone was present, Li Yuan held a grand banquet in the prime minister's mansion to entertain the generals.

At the banquet, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Now the north is basically calmed down, and the southern provinces are still in war!

Today I called everyone together to discuss the war against the South, and everyone should speak freely.

Anyone who doesn't speak up is fine! "

Everyone had already drank a lot of wine, and when they heard what Li Yuan said, most of them were sober.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one is willing to speak first.

Li Yuan smiled wryly.

"What's the matter? Why is no one speaking!"

Li Yuan first looked at his second son.

"Shimin! It's better for you to take the lead and speak first. If no one takes the lead, who wants to speak first!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin stood up immediately, looked at his old father and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead a great army to pacify the southern provinces, so as to pacify the world."

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

"Okay, okay! Shimin! If you command the army, being a father is the most reassuring thing!

Among my four sons, if you want to say that the one who can fight the most, you have to count your fourth brother Yuanba!

It's a pity that he died young, and the rest is that you have that handsome face! "

Li Yuan glanced at Li Yuanji again.

"Yuanji! If your second brother leads the army alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to support him alone.

How about you also lead an army, echoing your second brother?
If the two of you go out, won't our country be defeated immediately? "

Li Yuanji kowtowed upon hearing this.

"Daddy, let's be honest, I'm not a handsome boy, and it would be very difficult for me to lead the army!
Our north is not very stable now, and many unstable factors are still there!

Why don't I stay at home and help my elder brother with some daily affairs!

Daddy, you might as well send someone who can fight there! "

Li Yuanji immediately rejected the old father's request.

Because it was too hard to march and fight, Li Yuanji didn't want to lead the army anymore.

Li Yuan smiled wryly after hearing this, since Li Yuanji refused to be in command, who would be better to send to lead the army?

Li Yuan looked at Chai Shao again.

"Shao'er, your third brother doesn't want to lead the army, so you can lead the army."

After hearing this, Chai Shao stood up.

"Father-in-law, I can lead the army, but you have to transfer five of Duan Wuji and his brothers to me. I will do my best for the five of them. You can send me a few other generals at will!

If all these conditions are met, then I am willing to lead the army to help my second brother fight.

If the conditions are not met, you should find someone else! "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Isn't it easy to say, I'll transfer these five people to you.

I heard that Luo Cheng's white horse silver spear is very heroic, so why don't I transfer him to your tent for use! "

Then Chai Shao hasn't made a statement yet!

Duan Wuji stood up.

"Master Chengxiang, this is absolutely impossible!"

Li Yuan was taken aback for a while, looked at Duan Wuji and smiled: "Why?

Don't you want to work with him? "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"It's not like that, Mr. Chengxiang, think about it! Luo Cheng was born in Beiping Mansion, and he had a feud with that Liu Heita who killed his father. He is very familiar with that Beiping Mansion. If you send him to guard that Beiping Mansion, then Isn't it better!
Liu Heita of the Northern Han Dynasty, Su Dingfang under him is a brave general, among the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, he is the most suitable to be sent there!

I'm afraid that other people are really no match for Su Dingfang!

My lord, you said that we finally took this Beiping mansion, if we want to gain it and lose it again, how sad it would be! "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Well! That's really the case, good! It's really nice of you to meet me!

It is true that he is not familiar with sending others to guard the Beiping Mansion!

Luo Cheng's martial arts skills are also good, and he is also familiar with the name of Beiping Mansion. He has a feud with the Northern Han Dynasty, so if he is sent there, he is indeed the best candidate!

However, I am also afraid that he will not listen to orders after he goes to Beiping Mansion to become a big man!

How do you think about this matter? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this, you can send him two lieutenants and it's over!
Let two deputy generals lead our Shanxi soldiers and Shaanxi soldiers to go forward, and send him a bare-handed general to go, what waves do you think he can afford! "

"Good! Good! This method is good! Then who should we send?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "I think we should send Liu Hongji and Yu Chigong there!

Although Liu Hongji is not very capable, but he is loyal to his father, and Yu Chigong is very capable, but he is also one of our new generals! "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Well! This is really good!

After a while I ordered someone to brush up the imperial decree, and that's how we did it. "

The matter was discussed in this way. After the meeting was over, Li Yuan left Duan Wuji and the others in charge to drink tea together. Li Yuan looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Wuji! Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy when you send troops this time?" !"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "My lord, the society in the southern provinces is relatively stable, and there are still forces under the banner of the Sui Dynasty. We don't need to attack them, we just need to order them to be transferred to other places. Just be an official.

We won't need to use weapons, we will take them down, how good you say it is!

Those places that have already raised the banner of anti-Sui, we can solve them without using weapons, and we still don't use weapons.

You only need to order them to be transferred from their original station, and then transfer the officials from the army, and have a big change of defense with the officials in other armies, wouldn't that be enough!

As for those forces that do not enter, we will resolutely eliminate them and let them disappear from now on. If people want to find them, they can only find them in the history books! "

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

"Okay! That's great! Wuji! Chai Shao, what kind of imperial decree do you need? When the time comes, you can just come and ask for it!
As long as you need it, the old man will immediately order someone to write it! "

Chai Shao looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Second brother, when do you think we will send troops!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, I think we will be a teacher together on the sixth day of next month!

In such a big battle, we have to prepare for it!

What if you are not ready! "

Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Second brother, where are you planning to send troops from?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "I plan to send troops from Henan and Shandong at the same time to capture Anwei together, then go to Jiangxi, and finally point directly to the Zhejiang and Fujian areas. Let's talk about taking these places first!
Why!Chai Shao, where are you planning to send troops from? "

After hearing this, Chai Shao poked Duan Wuji with his hand.

"Brother, then tell our second brother! What you said is what I think."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Shao'er! You are really worry-free as a general!

No one can compare to your luck!

Your second brother has his own plans, so you are lucky!If you ask, you don't know! "

Chai Shao laughed when he heard this.

"Is there any way to do this? Those who are capable will work harder. Who told my brother that he is more capable than me? Without his support, do you think I dare to go out?"

Li Yuan grinned when he heard this.

"Well! What you said is also true! But, Shaoer, you are also a genius! If you are only with Duan Wuji, you won't be able to show it!"

Duan Wuji said to Li Shimin: "Second Brother, we plan to send troops from Sichuan Province, go eastward along the Yangtze River, and meet your Southern Expedition Army, do you think this is good?"

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Okay, let's see each other."
