"After all, the second brother just wants to say that only by letting you lead the army can we solve the crisis that my Tang Dynasty will face in the future?"

"only if!"

Li Shimin said firmly and confidently.

This kind of firm self-confidence does not come from arrogance, but from a clear understanding of one's own abilities.

Li Shimin does have the ability to turn things around.

This was verified by Li Yuan several times.

It's just that Li Yuanji would never let the tiger go back to the mountain, so it's useless to let Li Shimin talk about breaking the sky.

"Second brother, are you too arrogant? Could it be that you can't function without my Great Tang? Could it be that you can't win battles without my Great Tang?
I asked Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin to accompany Xu Shizong to entangle, and asked Li Jing to guard against Li Yi, wouldn't that be enough?

You also said that Dingnan is due to Li Jing, not Li Xiaogong.

Li Jing was able to pacify Jiangnan, so naturally he could also guard against Li Yi. "

Li Yuanji didn't hide it either, he nodded slightly and said, "It's probably close to ten."

If he didn't have enough troops, unless he met Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong together all of a sudden, and led a small number of troops, he would simmer them all together.

In the Battle of Hulaoguan, Li Shimin defeated many with few, defeated Dou Jiande with 3000 men and 3000 troops. There are far more than [-] people in the world who really contributed to this war.

It was also because he had enough troops to use that he was able to quickly expand his victories after the battle at Hulaoguan, turning a small victory into an overall victory.

Li Shimin sneered and said, "What kind of plan are you planning? You think I can't guess it. You want Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, and Li Jing to gather all the soldiers and horses of Hebei Province in Zhaozhou under the guise of exterminating Xu Shizong, and then in Zhaozhou. When the Turks went south, they counted on the Turks to secure the victory.

After all, the Li family was able to establish the Great Tang and dominate the world, and he also contributed. He couldn't just sit back and watch all this be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Then if I tell my second brother that the Turkic people have invaded this time, it is very likely that they will make a lot of noise?"

It is precisely because of this that he has to go out no matter what.

Even if Li Shimin and the three thousand Xuanjia under his hands could fight, they would be drowned by the sea of ​​people formed by the one hundred thousand army.

"You mean that the Turks will feint at Weize Pass and other places this time, and then go directly to Chang'an City?"

Li Shimin just played this classic case of winning more with less on the stage that many people worked hard to build for him.

It was related to the life and death of the Li family and the life and death of the Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng's IQ reoccupied the high ground. After a little thought, he understood what Li Yuanji was talking about, and immediately opened his eyes and shouted.

Li Yuanji said amusedly: "Second brother is a bit too high on other people's ambitions, destroying his prestige, right?"

"Sound from east to west?"

It was precisely because he had enough troops to back him that he dared to lead three thousand Xuanjias to surprise Dou Jiande's one hundred thousand troops at Hulao Pass.

Those who know know that we are brothers and sisters, but those who don't know think that you are brothers and sisters, and I am born of a concubine.

Li Yuanji is no longer a military rookie anymore. After rolling around on the battlefields of Hebei Road and Weizeguan, and reading many military books, he has a more or less understanding of military affairs.

Take Li Shimin's battle at Hulaoguan.

The Turkic people are not good people, and they will not kindly enlarge Tang's way of life when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble.

"Then what are you waiting for, quickly call all the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures?"

You simply can't muster enough troops to deal with the Turks.

When necessary, I will also ask Chai Shao to take your people from the Commanding Army Mansion to help. "

Otherwise, my Tang Dynasty is very likely to be destroyed, and our Li family is very likely to be exterminated. "

He will not hesitate to choose to lead the 10 people under his command to confront Li Shimin directly.

Therefore, although Li Shimin's victory in the battle of Hulaoguan played a great role in his conquest of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, even decisively, what really made him win the final victory was his strong troops .

Although there are many examples in history of defeating the many with the few and defeating the strong with the weak, there are also many in the Tang Dynasty, and even Li Shimin created a classic battle in which the few defeated the many.

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "The Turkic people have already hit the door of our house, so naturally I will do everything I can. I can't just let the Turkic people wreak havoc in my Tang Dynasty because of shame?"

Moreover, some examples of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak were also played in a situation of even strength, but the auxiliary personnel were not as dazzling as those who beat the generals and captured the flag.

It is even more shameless for you to let Chai Shao, a useless man, lead the army to help you deal with the Turks. "

Otherwise, no matter how brilliantly he wins at Hulao Pass, no matter how shocking the world is, it will not be able to determine the final victory.

How can Dou Jiande be a fool if he can achieve a hegemony in troubled times?
If Li Shimin had only 3000 people under his command, how could he run away after being attacked?

After rolling all those battles in my mind dozens of times, I have a deeper and better understanding of the military in this period.

But now you can mobilize only the twelve guards and soldiers from Hebei Road.

After all, historically, the Turkic people had turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, and that's what they did after the power change. There is no reason to let the Tang Dynasty go this time.

So Li Yuanji knew exactly what Li Shimin was talking about and what he was implying.

Li Yuanji said casually: "Li Xiaogong, Li Shiji, Huang Junhan are enough to deal with the Turkic people, if not, I will send my third sister to help.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you invite Sanjie and Chai Shao to help out, you still can't win against the Turks."

However, it's really shameless for you to ask Chai Shao to appease the people in my Tongjun Mansion.

"So the second brother wants to say, if you can gather enough soldiers and horses, only you can turn the tide of the battle?"

Li Shimin didn't speak when he heard the Turkic people's voices, but was a little stunned, then his pupils shrank slightly, and his face became ugly.

Although he hated Li Yuan secretly, hated Li Shimin openly, and secretly wanted to kill Li Yuanji in his heart, but when it came to the critical moment of life and death, he could still temporarily put aside these grievances and let Datang get through this difficulty first.

Therefore, the number of troops has a great influence on the outcome of the war.

Even if Dou Jiande was a fool who allowed Li Shimin to kill him despite his absolute superiority after being attacked, how could he repeat the same mistakes after the war against Li Shimin who had only 3000 people?
After discussing with Wang Shichong, he can gather another 10 people, who can also drown Li Shimin.

Although the predecessor did not leave any military strategies that can be used directly, it left a lot of memories about the war.

Li Yuanji stared at Li Shimin quietly. He could hear that what Li Shimin said had a high probability of being true, but he didn't dare to bet, and he couldn't bet.

But once Li Jing is called by you to guard against Li Yi, and Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin are entangled by Xu Shizong again, what will you use to plot against the Turkic people, and what will you use to secure the victory of repelling the Turkic people in one fell swoop? "

This also makes many people mistakenly think that the examples of some famous generals defeating the strong with the weak are really played with that little force.

Li Jiancheng said anxiously.

Li Shimin said in a heavy voice.

If you lose the bet, your life is gone.

Although his military ability is not as outstanding as Li Shimin's, he is also a person who has led soldiers and fought in battle, so he understands military affairs.

They will only use the cruelest and bloodiest means to deal a painful blow to Datang when Datang is weakest, and then destroy Datang, support the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty to come to power, and enslave the Central Plains.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "The Turkic people have a great chance to come out to attack this time. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will overwhelm the border. Do you think sending a few more generals will be able to stop it?

"If that's the case, then you should let me out."

If there were not many people to help him contain the soldiers from all over the place, help him stop the enemies from all over the place, help him create opportunities, help him create the battlefield, only he and his 3000 men could really defeat Dou Jiande's [-] soldiers and horses ?

Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to say "Of course", but seeing the playfulness in Li Yuanji's eyes, he snorted coldly and did not speak.

Li Shimin is now telling Li Yuanji what is the fundamental factor that determines the final victory of the war based on his own experience.

When Li Shimin heard Li Xiuning and Chai Shao, his face flushed red, and he choked out a few words, "Third sister really dote on you. We used to ask her to do something, but she ignored her. Now you In front of you, she will do whatever you ask her to do.

The vast majority of wars are won when the enemy is evenly matched or has more troops than the enemy.

You have to use no less than [-]% of their troops to stop them.

But these examples are basically won under the addition of various factors such as time, location, and harmony.

This was said by Li Jiancheng, who has been eavesdropping.

Li Shimin said with a solemn expression: "I can promise you that you will not use any tricks or contact anyone under your command, but you must let me out to survive this catastrophe together.

Li Yuanji said sarcastically.

He didn't need to ask any more questions, but he guessed what Li Yuanji was talking about.

The generals you send out may win a small victory or two, but they can't turn the tide of the battle at all. "

The soldiers and horses of Hebei Province have been dispatched by you to destroy Xu Shizong and defend Li Yi, but you cannot send out all the soldiers and horses of the twelve guards.

Whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, they are all ruthless people.

They are all ruthless people who dare to ruthless their brothers, so when it comes to letting them out of Anlimen, or even out of the palace, they must be more extreme.

There is no such thing as three to five years of torment, because they can't be let out no matter what.

"I appreciate the kindness of the second brother, but this time the Turkic invaders, I am enough to deal with it."

Li Yuanji said with a faint smile.
