Man Tanghong

Chapter 620 The Only Second Battle in History
"Sister, I have my own considerations..."

Li Yuanji sighed.

Li Xiuning was obviously stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "What considerations do you have? Don't forget that Chang'an City is the foundation of my Great Tang. If Chang'an City is gone, my Great Tang is very likely to be gone too."

Li Yuanji stared at Li Xiuning, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Sister, the people are the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. As long as the people are still there, as long as the people still support my Li family, even if I lose Chang'an City, my Li family will still be able to support me." He is the ruler of the world."

Li Xiuning was completely stunned.

It seemed that he did not expect Li Yuanji to say such a meaningful sentence.

These words are similar to what Mencius said, "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least".

"You really think so?"

After being stunned for a long time, Li Xiuning suddenly asked.

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation. He really thought so in his heart, and he had been doing it all the time.

Is not it?
Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao stared with doubts on their faces.

However, she is not a hypocritical person, she didn't feel embarrassed for a long time, and then praised: "I don't understand governing the country, but I understand governing the army. I think there are some similarities between governing the country and governing the army.

Li Yuanji said amusedly: "You don't think I'm going to put the Turks under the city of Chang'an, and then go out on horseback to have a head-on confrontation with the Turks?"

After receiving a positive answer, Li Xiuning said with sincere emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, but you have such a deep understanding that you put the safety of the people first.

I still stick to my own ideas. "

Because he can go to every corner of the world, and he can also gather strength from every corner of the world to compete with the people on the throne.

Now that Li Yuanji brought up the old story again and mentioned the difficulty of being a person in power, she naturally felt embarrassed.

What's so good about being a person in power? Not only do you have to stay in the palace every day to review all kinds of documents that waste brain cells, but you also have to rack your brains to fight with officials, aristocratic families, and enemies outside the territory. There is almost no free time.

"Sister, let's stop talking about this. Now is not the time to talk about it. Just say, do you agree with my approach, and would you like to help me find Chai Shao?"

If she didn't follow the agreement, Li Yuanji wouldn't be kicked out of the shelves.

One is the battle of Kunyang, the battle of fame of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the battle of Hulaoguan, the battle of fame of Li Shimin.

As long as it is used reasonably, it is not a problem to inflict a heavy blow on the Turks. "

Few people don't care about the interests of the common people.

As you all know, the terrain of Xinping is surrounded by mountains and there is a Jingshui running through it.

Li Yuanji didn't understand why Li Xiuning said that, whether he agreed with his idea or disapproved, but Li Xiuning was praising him, and he couldn't ask directly, so he said humbly, "Sister, I'm joking, what am I?" A natural ruler, I was just forced to become a ruler, shouldering the life and death of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, so I had to mature as soon as possible, and had to learn how to become a qualified ruler as soon as possible.

It seems like you, like Shimin, are a born ruler. "

He originally planned not to speak, but Li Yuanji's words were too arrogant and conceited, so he couldn't help it.

Because the possibility of meteorites, floods, strong winds, and heavy rains appearing at the same time is almost zero, it happened once in history and was met by Liu Xiu, so Liu Xiu was jokingly called the son of the plane after a thousand years.

Hearing this, Li Xiuning straightened her hair in embarrassment, and she was also to blame for this.

"Are you ready to go your own way?"

This is completely different from the life he had envisioned.

Once the Turks decided to come to Chang'an City, they would not come with 2 or 10,000 horses, but [-]+, or even more.

Li Xiuning's thinking, from the perspective of the common people, is wrong, and the wrong can't be more wrong, but from the perspective of the powerful, it is right, and the right can't be more right.

Li Xiuning said in a deep voice: "You should know how much turmoil the Turkic soldiers will cause when they approach the city, and you should also know how much impact the Turkic people will have on our Tang Dynasty after they break through Chang'an City.

I am very pleased that you can recognize the heavy responsibility you shoulder, take the initiative to resist it, and think about it everywhere.

It's a pity that everything is in the past tense, and it's too late to regret, and there is no regret medicine to take, so he can only try his best to govern the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, try to find a way to remedy it and find a way to get himself out.

Are you sure you want to do this again? "

Li Xiuning has never been a benevolent person. If she was a benevolent person, she would not be able to lead the army, let alone lead tens of thousands of followers in Guanzhong and Taiyuan to make a big name.

Li Yuanji said frankly: "It can't be said that I will go my own way. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

As described in Romance, the scene where tens of thousands, 10,000+, or even more soldiers and horses were overthrown at once through an ambush has only happened twice in history.

As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted.

This is reality, cruel and cold-blooded.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiuning puzzled.

What do you mean by 'I will make a move when it is critical'?
who do you think You Are?
Fairy?
The Overlord of Western Chu, Resurrection, did not dare to say such a thing, and if he added Lu Bu's words, he would only dare to say that he could give it a try, but he definitely did not dare to say "I will make a move when it is critical" in a defiant manner.

Li Xiuning explained: "Although I appreciate your attitude of valuing the people, I don't agree with abandoning Chang'an City for the sake of the people outside Chang'an City.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether the people on the throne can accommodate him or not.

If a large number of them are transferred out, there will be no way to stop them.

With only the existing soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, it is somewhat difficult to resist.

Perhaps he would not notice that his large ships had spread all over the ocean until the people on the throne changed several times.

Li Xiuning frowned again, and her tone became a bit serious.

Li Yuanji nodded, and said calmly: "Sister, don't worry, I will take action when it is critical. I will definitely not let Chang'an City fall into the hands of the Turks."

Li Yuanji continued to laugh and said: "You have misunderstood, what I mean is that once the Turks break through Xiaoguan, I will personally lead the troops out of the city and go to Xinping to ambush the Turks.

It was true that you were made the ruler of Datang back then. "

Li Yuanji said with a wry smile.

The former relied on the power of heaven and earth, while the latter relied on the coordination of many soldiers and horses.

As for defeating the Turks in one fell swoop, that is impossible.

How to make reasonable use of Xinping's terrain and Shangjing River will definitely slow down the Turkic attack.

Li Yuanji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If possible, he would rather not be the person in power.

The reason why Li Xiuning insisted on her own ideas was not that she didn't care about the life and death of the common people, nor did she care about the interests of the common people.

Rather, she felt that when a catastrophe came, the most fundamental interests of the Tang Dynasty had to be safeguarded first, and the interests of the people should be taken care of next.

For example, find an excuse to let Li Yuan demote him far away, preferably to Jiaozhou. In that case, he can develop the Southwest and the ocean industry together with Feng An.

If the monarch of a country is incompetent, the people of the world will be exhausted to death.

But for the sake of Li's foundation, for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, when the catastrophe is approaching, it is necessary to choose this way.

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, and said firmly: "I can understand sister's thinking, but I also stick to my own thinking."

Li Xiuning was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh and said, "I can help you find Chai Shao, but I don't agree with your statement."

Otherwise, everyone in Datang will suffer disaster if they follow me. "

Li Xiuning was so choked that she had nothing to say, Ma Sanbao twitched the corner of his mouth and offered to help.

If everything could be done all over again, he might choose a different way to settle down.

Xinping, also known as Binzhou in later generations, is also known as Binzhou. It is a basin, but the concept of basin did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, so people living in the basin subconsciously think that they live in a ditch surrounded by mountains.

If the Turkic people really invaded on a large scale, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to go all the way, and it is impossible for them all to pass through Xinping. Setting up an ambush in Xinping can only block one of them.

It is almost impossible to repeat these two battles.

Li Xiuning was speechless for a moment, her beautiful eyes were wide open, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

And Datang is a country made up of dignitaries and aristocratic families, and the interests of the dignitaries and aristocratic families are the most fundamental interests.

Only in this way can the dignitaries and aristocratic families who have always supported Datang continue to support Datang.

According to the county government records of Xinping County, when the flood in Xinping County was the largest, it flooded directly to the foot of the mountain, causing the people living at the foot of the mountain to lose their crops, and the people who had just settled down at the foot of the mountain had to move back to the mountain. In the cave.

Too overbearing, too defiant, and too presumptuous.

The Jingshui in the Tang Dynasty was far larger than the Jingshui in later generations, and there were frequent floods in July and August, often flooding a river bank, or even wider.

She is only kind to her family, and to people and things outside of her family, she only chooses between pros and cons.

Let the people on the throne get to know him, the king of Qi, again.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, are you exaggerating your words?"

If there is a true man in history, then Liu Xiu is probably the only one.

After all, he was really sent to the throne abruptly by God, the kind who can't do anything else, other emperors can't compare.

As for recreating the Battle of Hulao Pass with the help of many soldiers and horses, that's not necessary.

If there are so many soldiers and horses to reproduce the battle of Hulaoguan, it is better to go to the front with the Turks, tens of thousands against tens of thousands, and fighting in the local area. Supplies and soldiers are replenished faster than the Turks, and the consumption can be consumed. There is no need to take risks to kill the Turks.
