Man Tanghong

Xue Shou, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others were all lost in thought.

After a long time, Xue Shou mused and cupped his hands and said: "If the Xuanjia Army is here, I will have a way to break the situation, but the Xuanjia Army is not here now."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say to Xue.

The Xuanjia army was taken to the Turkic royal court by Li Jing. This matter was handled by Xue Shou. What is the difference between Xue Shou saying this now and not saying it?
"What about you?"

Li Yuanji looked at Yu Zhining and asked.

Yu Zhining doesn't seem to talk much, and doesn't have much sense of presence. In history, he is not as famous as Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, etc., but his family background and ability are quite good.

He was quiet under Li Shimin's command, but he has always held an important official position.

Historically, he went through three dynasties, until he was framed by Xu Jingzong when Li Zhi was in power, and he was forced to return home.

He survived the dispute between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, which shows that he has a keen political sense and is quite capable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Zhi, three very capable emperors who also had their own ideas, to be able to retire and return home.

You must know that many people with greater fame than him in history did not return to their hometowns after experiencing these three dynasties. The daughter-in-law was removed from the Taimiao for rebellion, Wei Zheng was dragged out to flog the corpse after his death, Chu Suiliang was dispatched to Aizhou to work with monkeys, and finally died in a foreign land. Du Ruhui survived because he died early enough.

However, Du Ruhui did not go through three dynasties. Du Ruhui died of illness in Chang'an City in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Historically, Fang Mou and Du Juan have been highly evaluated. Du Ruhui has indeed made a lot of contributions to Li Shimin and to the Tang Dynasty, but his contribution to the Tang Dynasty is definitely not as good as that of Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining. Wait for people to be tall.

No way, who let him die too early.

Li Shimin just turned Datang into an iron barrel, and just started to show Datang's muscles to his neighbors, and he died.

He has no way to witness Datang from glory to more glory, from strong to stronger, and he has no way to add bricks to a more glorious and powerful Datang.

On the contrary, it was Yu Zhining who accompanied Li Shimin to the end and helped Li Shimin make the glorious and powerful Tang Dynasty even more glorious and powerful.

Li Yuanji very much hoped that this person who does not seek fame or profit, but only knows how to do things in silence, can give him a suggestion to break the situation.

But after waiting for a long time, Yu Zhining shook his head, "I have no way to break the situation..."

Li Yuanji nodded disappointedly, then looked at Han Liang again.

After hesitating for a while, Han Liang said: "Since Jieli has deployed most of the soldiers and horses to the line from Lingzhou to Suizhou, there will not be too many soldiers from Shizhou to Weizeguan. The troops from Weizeguan marched westward, joined with the troops from Suizhou to defend against the Turks?"

Before Li Yuanji had time to speak, Xue Shou frowned and said, "Since Jieli can drive Yinsui's soldiers to Lanshi, naturally he can also drive Yinsui's soldiers to Weize Pass.

Once we have transferred the soldiers and horses from Weizeguan and we are discovered by Xieli, Xieli will definitely take advantage of the situation. "

Yu Zhining nodded approvingly.

Cai Yungong and Chen Shuda also stroked their beards and nodded frequently.

Han Liang realized that there was a huge omission in his method, and immediately bowed his hands in shame, and retreated behind Xue Shou and Yu Zhining.

Li Yuanji looked around at all the people in the city gate building, and questioned: "Don't you have anything to do?"

Everyone in the city gate shook their heads in unison.

There is really no way, and if there is a way, no one will hide it.

After all, this is a good opportunity to make contributions. As long as you can think of a good way, it will not be a problem to raise your title, seal your household and add one plus one.

Even if the title has reached its peak and the closure of households has reached the point where it cannot be increased, it is still possible to seek a title for the heirs of the family.

Therefore, if they really have a way, they will not hide their secrets at all.

Li Yuanji took a deep breath, then took another long breath and said, "Since none of you can do anything, then listen to my way."

Everyone in the city gate was stunned and looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.

Li Yuanji didn't care about their eyes, and continued: "My solution is, I, Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Yu Wenbao, Xue Shou, and Yu Zhining will lead [-] elite soldiers and the remaining government soldiers in Guanzhong to rush to Suizhou for help. .

Although the government soldiers in Guanzhong are useless, they can still stand on the top of the city and pour gold juice and throw rolling logs and stones.

I believe that with our troops joining, we will be able to block the Turkic soldiers outside Suizhou. "

When Chen Shuda heard this, he stared in vain, and quickly said: "Your Highness, absolutely not!"

Cai Yungong hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Your Highness must not be in danger. If you must send someone to help, let the minister lead the troops."

In the case of Turkic soldiers divided into four groups, the place where Yinsui's troops are weakest is the most dangerous.

If Li Yuanji led the troops to rush to help, if something bad happened, they could kill themselves.

If you don't cut yourself off, when you return to Chang'an City, Li Yuan, who is protecting the calf, will ask with red eyes, "My son is dead, why are you not dead?", and then send them down with red eyes.

Li Yuan can definitely do this kind of thing.

Therefore, no matter what they said, they couldn't let Li Yuanji take risks.

Li Yuanji said bluntly: "I have a general understanding of the battle at Xiaoguan, with the ability of Duke Ren and the bravery of all the soldiers, we will definitely be able to defend this place.

So it is of no use for me to stay here, and neither are most of you.

So we might as well lead the troops to Suizhou and help Suizhou guard the general. "

This is not Li Yuanji's rambling, this is Li Yuanji's judgment after carefully understanding the battle situation.

Although there are many Turkic people outside the pass, there are also a lot of Tang soldiers inside and outside the pass.

With the support of elite soldiers like Qin Wangfu's Tongjunfu who have fought many battles, it is not easy to stop the Turks, but they can be easily captured.

So there is no need for anyone to help here, and there is no need for someone to point fingers. Liu Hongji alone is enough.

At this point, Li Yuanji left Han Liang and others to help Liu Hongji.

After Liang Shidu was forced to return to Shuofang City, Liu Hongji could calmly deal with it even if the Turkic elite came out together.

After all, without the help of people from Liang Shidu, the Turkic people were really good at attacking the city.

In history, the reason why the Turks were able to break through Datang's defense several times, and even appeared in Chang'an City, was because the Turks always attacked Datang by surprise every time, and when Datang got the news and reacted , the Turkic people have already broken through the pass on the border and appeared in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

This time is different. This time, the Tang Dynasty had the opportunity to predict the enemy, and the soldiers were on the frontier first. Therefore, if the Turks wanted to break through the pass and appear in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they had to fight head-on with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. And defeat Datang's soldiers and horses.

In this kind of defensive battle where the prairie people invaded the Central Plains, as long as the Central Plains dynasty can anticipate the enemy's opportunities, make arrangements in advance, and have enough elite soldiers and generals available, they will basically not be defeated.

As weak as the Song Dynasty, when resisting the Liao people, Xixia people, and Qingtang people, they won more and lost less.

It's just that I like to admit defeat first and lose money first when I win.

The euphemistic name is: spend money to buy peace.

This kind of thing cannot happen in Datang, but this kind of war can be won in Datang, and it will be won more beautifully and with more momentum.

"Even so, His Highness cannot risk his life!"

Chen Shuda cupped his hands and said very seriously.

Cai Yungong, Xue Shou, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others also bowed to express their views.

Li Yuanji knew that Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong and others really cared about the safety of himself, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty. It's time to leave Li Shimin behind and run away first.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the people under his command, Li Yuanji sighed and said: "Forget it, then Cai Yungong, Xue Shou, and Yu Zhining, you three will lead [-] elite soldiers, plus the remaining government soldiers in Guanzhong to go to Suizhou for help." Bar."

It's not that Li Yuanji has given in, but he is well aware of the principle that the minority must obey the majority.

Cai Yungong, Xue Shou, and Yu Zhining were stunned for a moment when they heard this, then Cai Yungong looked happy, Xue Shou and Yu Zhining looked complicated.

But no one refused, they all bowed together and said: "I obey!"

After accepting the order, Xue Shou hesitated and said: "Your Highness also knows that the government soldiers in Guanzhong cannot be reused. If the Turkic people really overwhelm the border and enter Suizhou, and Lanshi's army can't catch up, what should I do?" response."

Cai Yungong was about to speak without hesitation, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them.

He really wanted to say "I will die to you", but when the words came to his lips, considering that this kind of situation was really likely to happen, and he was really likely to take his life, he decisively shut his mouth.

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said: "Then strengthen the walls and clear the country, and let the Turkic people in to fight!"

This situation has been considered when discussing the military situation and deploying troops, and the countermeasures have also been discussed.

Hou Junji is now waiting for the Turkic people in Yunyang, so Hou Junji cannot be left waiting for nothing.

"Then what if all the Turkic soldiers from Yanqing and Lanshi rushed in through this gap?"

This question was asked by Liu Hongji.

Because once Suizhou is breached, there will be a gap in Datang's border defense, and the Turks are likely to do this.

Li Yuanji smiled cheerfully, "Isn't that better?"

Everyone in the city gate building looked astonished.

Li Yuanji continued: "Then we will remove all the people in Guanzhong, seal the four passes in Guanzhong, and consume all the elites of Jieli, Tuli, and even Turks in Guanzhong!"

Commonly known as closing the door and beating the dog!

This plan is crazy, and the price to be paid is also huge.

But if it is true, Datang will no longer have any rivals from now on, and he will no longer have to worry about foreign enemies invading. Looking around, all the neighbors around him knelt on the ground and called Dad.

It's just that Xieli shouldn't be that stupid, he wouldn't take the initiative to sneak into the encirclement and let Datang slaughter him.
