Man Tanghong

Li Shimin sighed, nodded, and didn't say anything more about this issue.

The population is indeed Datang's flaw, and it cannot be repaired no matter how much it is, it can only be recovered slowly over a long period of time.

"Let's think about how to win this battle first. After all, if we can't win this battle, no matter how much we think about it, it will be delusional."

Li Shimin was like an expert outside the world, with his hands behind his back, his head raised, and he spoke quietly.

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement.

This is the reason. Datang can only think about other things if he wins this battle. If he can't win, everything is just fantasy.

"What is the second brother going to do? Are you going to wait with Xieli forever? Although the longer the wait, the better for us, but it is also beneficial for Xieli.

Once the battle in Suizhou came to an end, Jieli would not open our second door to the Tang Dynasty, and would have a new choice, that is, Tiaosunishi, Tuli, and Kangsumi would return to this place.

Either way, it's not good for us. "

Li Yuanji said with emotion.

If Jieli opened the door of Suizhou and had a second door to advance, attack, retreat and defend, then Jieli would no longer have to fight against Datang in Qingzhou, and could completely rely on the advantage of Suizhou's strong military force , Go south from Suizhou, or transfer from Suizhou to other places.

At that time, Datang would have to dispatch more soldiers and horses to follow Jie Li's buttocks around.

And Xieli's men are almost all cavalry. Once they spread out in Suizhou and invade the hinterland of Datang, Datang will pay a heavy price.

It also took several times the force and time to drive Xieli out.

At that time, I am afraid that the land of Sanfu, as well as Taiyuan Mansion and other places, have already been misfortune by Jieli.

If Jieli hadn't opened the gates of Suizhou, allowing Sunishi, Tuli, Kang Sumi and others to lead their troops back, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered here would not be able to compete with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

So how to choose, how to arrange troops, Li Shimin needs to think carefully.

Li Shimin also knew what the victory or defeat of this battle meant, so he had not made a decision easily since he left Baijiabao.

However, the Tang Dynasty has now come to Huai'an, and it has appeared under Jieli's nose. Whether to continue to send troops to attack Suizhou, or let Suizhou's soldiers and horses retreat, Jieli will soon make a choice, so stay There is not much time for Datang.

Li Shimin must also make a decision as soon as possible.

If it wasn't that he was not as good as Li Shimin in terms of military strategy, and Li Jing, Li Shiji, Su Dingfang, Huang Junhan, Chai Shao and others couldn't rush over to help for the time being, Li Yuanji didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Shimin.

After all, after Li Shimin was deprived of power, it was already very good to take the initiative to stand up and contribute. It is really unreasonable to put all the pressure on Li Shimin and let Li Shimin take more responsibilities.

"So... I'm going to take the initiative to attack! Before Jieli and Tuli join forces, we should destroy one of them first. In this way, it will be easier for us to deal with the remaining one."

After being silent for a while, Li Shimin said with firm eyes.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then questioned: "You mean, Sunishi, Tuli, and Kang Sumi will return without success in Suizhou, so there is only one way for Jieli to choose, and that is to let Su Ni Shi and others led the army back to Gyeongju, and we will have a showdown with us in Gyeongju?"

Li Yuanji wanted to know where Li Shimin got his confidence.

Why are they so sure that Suni Shi and others will lose in Suizhou.

You know, the troops led by Suni Shi and others are three times that of Li Shenfu and Yin Kaishan, and Suni Shi is not a moron.

It is not easy for Li Shenfu and Yin Kaishan to defeat them while defending Suizhou.

However, Li Yuanji did not ask the question in his heart.

Now that Li Shimin has already talked about this, he will explain it to him as soon as he thinks about it, and he doesn't need to ask more.

Li Shimin nodded deeply and said: "Yes, Qingzhou is the battlefield chosen by Jieli, and it is also the battlefield I chose. I will order the twelve guards to go to Suizhou for help after they arrive at Baima.

When they arrived in Suizhou, Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, and Daozong should have arrived as well.

At that time, they can join forces and attack Suni and Tuli together.

I believe that with their total strength of [-] troops, even if they cannot completely wipe out Suni and Tuli, they will be able to disarm those killed by Suni and Tuli.

As long as Suni and Tuli are defeated, we can concentrate on dealing with Xieli. "

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin in shock.

Li Shimin kept saying that the battlefield would be in Qingzhou, but he wanted to transfer most of Datang's soldiers and horses on the front lines of Qingzhou and Suizhou to Suizhou.

To have a showdown with Suni and Tuli in Suizhou.

It seems that Qingzhou is the main battlefield, but Suizhou is actually the main battlefield.

Because as long as the battle in Suizhou is won, Xieli will be unable to go south, and all he can do is vent all his anger on them in Gyeongju.

This kind of arrangement is far better than waiting for Xieli to call back Suizhou's troops and fight them in Qingzhou.

Because this can catch Suni Shi and Tuli by surprise, and it can also confuse Xieli and win Xieli from the outside.

By the time Xieli reacted, the overall situation had been settled, and all he could do was be incompetent and furious.

Li Yuanji had to admit that Li Shimin was definitely everyone and the best among them when it came to the art of war and strategy.

This seemingly risky, but actually steady strategy can only be planned by those who have mastered the essentials of the art of war.

"How sure are you, and how much risk do we have to take?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Shimin and asked.

The most dangerous part of this strategy is that he and Li Shimin must bear Xieli's anger after the defeat of Sunis and Tuli.

When the twelve guards and horses, as well as Li Shenfu, Yin Kaishan, Su Dingfang and others were unable to come to help in time, they had to lead the existing soldiers and horses to firmly block Xieli's attack.

If they couldn't stop them, they would either die on the battlefield or be captured alive by Xieli.

Although the war would still end with Datang winning, but after he, Li Shimin, and even Li Jiancheng were captured alive by Xieli, Datang won, and it was no different from not winning.

Maybe after winning, the price to pay is greater than losing.

So you must estimate the risk and see if it is worth the risk.

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Sixty percent!"

Li Yuanji fell into hesitation. Li Shimin only gave them the certainty of winning, but did not say how much risk they had to bear.

In other words, they have a lot of risk to take.

Sixty percent is not small.

If you are [-]% or [-]% sure on the battlefield, then you can fight.

Sixty percent, that is to say, as long as there are no accidents, the hope of winning is very high if a certain price is paid.

As for the eighty-nine percent, or even ten percent.

It rarely appears on the battlefield, especially ten percent, almost none.

After entering the battlefield, no one dared to pat his chest and say that he was [-]% sure of winning. Even if the famous generals and gods of war in history gathered together, and when the strength of the troops was evenly matched, they would not dare to say that they could win. There is a [-]% certainty that you can win.

Therefore, a [-]% certainty is already worth the gamble.

If it was not Li Shimin who said this, but Li Jing, Li Shiji, Su Dingfang, or even Li Hongji, Huang Junhan, and Chai Shao, then Li Yuanji would not hesitate to gamble.

But it happened to be Li Shimin who was talking.

Li Shimin is not only displaying a strategy, but also generalizing his army.

This is for him to make a choice.

Under the circumstances that all three of their brothers might die or be captured, he had to make a decision to deal with this matter.

In order to prevent the three of their brothers from really dying or being captured, Datang will not be threatened by the Turks.

Therefore, he now either lets one of the three brothers go back, or decides who will take over the power in his hands after he dies or is captured.

Li Shimin seems to have given him two choices, but in fact he has only one choice.

That's the latter.

Because Li Shimin wants to stay and command the army, he wants to stay and give Li Shimin the power to command the army, and neither he nor Li Shimin will take advantage of Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, all he can choose is to choose a successor in advance.

This is Li Shimin's army.

It's a conspiracy.

Upright.

Unless he doesn't care about Li's family.

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuanji suddenly laughed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji puzzled.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Second brother, since he is [-]% sure, it's worth a try."

Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji closely, and said nothing, the meaning was self-evident.

That is, how are you going to choose?
Under Li Shimin's watchful eyes, Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "Now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is our father, and it's not up to us to decide who he will pass on the throne to."

This is Li Yuan's authority, and it is also the responsibility that Li Yuan needs to bear, why should he take it on himself?

If all three of their brothers were trapped in Turks, then who Li Yuan chooses as the successor and who he lets inherit the general rule is not up to Li Yuan to decide. Even if they have opinions, what can they do?

Why take this trouble on yourself?

After all, Datang now has an emperor, and this emperor did not go to the battlefield.

Datang also has an heir, apart from the three brothers, there is a next generation.

Therefore, the multiple-choice questions given by Li Shimin are not a problem at all.

Li Shimin was not embarrassed because the multiple-choice question he gave was not a question, and he didn't even give any unnecessary reaction. He just nodded calmly and said, "It seems that you really don't care about father's position, and you haven't thought about taking the position of father." The position of father belongs to your lineage."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin said with sincere emotion: "In this regard, you are better than all of us."

Li Yuanji didn't know whether Li Shimin said these words to ease the embarrassment, or if he was really probing, so he just smiled and said nothing.
