Man Tanghong

Chapter 912
"I understand..."

Su Dingfang cupped his fists solemnly.

A group of people stepped on the empty street, going around and around, and arrived at the general manager's yamen of Daizhou.

The army led by Su Dingfang was stationed in a temporary camp in the city, while the Chinese army's tent was set up in the general administrative office of Daizhou. Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other generals also handled official affairs and discussed military affairs in the general administrative office.

At present, Su Dingfang is concurrently the general manager of Daizhou, and Su Dingfang controls the soldiers in Daizhou.

It's just that what Tang took back from the Turks was an empty Daizhou, so Su Dingfang, the head of the Daizhou, is now a bare-handed commander, and he doesn't have any soldiers at his disposal.

Fortunately, this is only his part-time job. If this is his main job, he will cry to death.

When he arrived in front of Daizhou's general manager's yamen, Li Yuanji subconsciously raised his brows as he looked at the stone lion that had been temporarily moved from nowhere.

Su Dingfang hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Daizhou has been abandoned for a long time, and after we took back Daizhou in the Tang Dynasty, there was not enough population to fill the state. Now all the ministers and others use are from the original long-term site of Daizhou. rebuilt.

The stone lions here were also moved from other places by the ministers for the purpose of decorating the appearance. "

As the seat of the state capital of a state, it would be outrageous if its important government offices were not guarded by two stone beasts.

Li Yuanji nodded with a smile and said, "I mean, it doesn't match at all..."

Su Dingfang smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

A group of people entered the gate of the yamen, and after they sat down in the main hall of the yamen, Su Dingfang hurriedly ordered people to prepare things for washing.

Daizhou has been plagued by Turkic man-made disasters for many years, so the vegetation has been cut down, leaving only green grass everywhere. When the wind blows, it is easy to bring some dust and sand.

So once you walk around in Daizhou, you have to wash to wash off the dust and sand on your body.

Although ordinary people don't care about these things, and ordinary soldiers can't clean up from time to time, but now there is not a single ordinary person in the general administrative office of Daizhou.

So what should be washed still needs to be washed.

After a simple wash, Su Dingfang ordered someone to serve the food and wine that had been prepared. The food and wine walked around in front of him, and he tried them one by one before being placed on the main table.

Li Shimin looked at all the food and drink on the table in front of him, and teased with some taste: "The people under your hands are considerate, and you have to taste every food and drink for you. The people under my hands Not so sweet."

These words sound light and fluffy, and seem to be said casually.

But Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and even Xue Ting, who had the cheek to follow, all had ugly expressions on their faces.

They are not fools, how could they fail to hear something in Li Shimin's words, which is to say that they are not loyal enough.

Although there is not a word of loyalty mentioned between the lines, this is what he wants to express.

Li Yuanji was sitting in the hall, how could he watch Li Shimin put eye drops on his subordinates, and immediately said, "Second brother, do you still have subordinates?"

Doesn't that mean I haven't done my job yet? !
Li Shimin's face changed when he heard this, and after glaring at Li Yuanji viciously, he fell silent and started to eat his food.

The expressions of Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Xue Shou also softened, but they were still not very good-looking.

Because they didn't really betray Li Shimin, but had to leave Li Shimin's side for various reasons. Li Shimin secretly complained about their infidelity, which made them very unhappy.

Seeing that Li Shimin shut up, Li Yuanji stopped speaking sour words, and continued: "How is the situation in Daizhou now?"

Su Dingfang and the others had just picked up the wine cups, and when they heard this, they put down the wine cups one after another, exchanging eyes without any trace, but no one spoke.

Li Yuanji looked around at several people and said, "Why, the situation in Daizhou is not optimistic?"

Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "That's not true, there are officials waiting to sit in the guard, even if Suni Shi and Master Liang are rampant, they dare not take a step against me, Datang."

This is quite certain and full of confidence.

It can be seen that they are confident in keeping Suni Shi and Liang Shi out of Daizhou, but not long after saying this, Su Dingfang changed the subject and said: "It's just that your Highness is going to Daizhou in person, and you want to meet Liang Luoren in person, You don't know what to say."

In other words, 'the ministers feel inappropriate'.

It's just that due to sympathy, it's not easy to speak directly, so I just pass the words around the bush.

Li Yuanji knew what a few people were thinking, so he immediately laughed and said: "What do you mean by not knowing what to say, you can say what you want, and I didn't block your mouths, and it's impossible to blame you for speaking to me. "

He can listen to what is good for Datang and what is good for him.

He is not an authoritarian, nor is he the kind of political machine that thinks he can handle everything in the world.

So if someone helps to share and someone gives good advice, he can listen to the words that are not pleasant, and he will not blame the other party.

What's more, Su Dingfang is still his confidant.

If he can't listen to Su Dingfang's words, who can he listen to?

Hearing this, Su Dingfang took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Highness said so, then I will speak bluntly."

Li Yuanji nodded, signaling to Su Dingfang but saying it's okay.

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "The ministers have discussed it carefully, and they are not in favor of His Highness going to risk himself. Liang Luoren didn't propose to see His Highness early, and he didn't propose to see His Highness later, but he proposed to see His Highness at this critical time. It may not be without calculations." Her Majesty's thoughts.

For the sake of His Highness's safety, it is better for His Highness not to see him. "

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I have seen what you said in your previous memorial, and I also know that this trip is risky, but I still want to meet Liang Luoren.

Because as long as Liang Luoren is instigated, it will be much easier for us to conquer Liang Shidu later, and we may even have a chance to take down Liang Shidu without bloodshed.

You all know how beneficial this is to me, Datang. "

Su Dingfang nodded his head and said: "I know that instigating Liang Luoren's rebellion will bring many benefits to our Tang Dynasty, but if these benefits are to be exchanged for His Highness's safety, I am willing to fight."

"Not bad! The ministers are willing to fight!"

"..."

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others nodded in agreement.

The current Datang is nearly twice as strong as the Tang Dynasty at the same time in history, so Datang does not need to use various schemes to weaken the enemy, nor does it need to split the enemy through instigation and alienation.

Datang is completely capable of fighting the enemy head-on, defeating the enemy from the front, and defeating the enemy.

Therefore, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others are all confident, they are not afraid of fighting the enemy head-on, and they are not in favor of taking risks to instigate the enemy.

"I know that you are capable of fighting head-on with Master Liang, but after this battle, how many soldiers and soldiers will we lose, and how much loyalty and bravery will we lose? If I can use my one-time adventure in exchange for the lives of these people, why not Change?"

Li Yuanji Xiaozhi lobbied with emotion and reason.

Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others all frowned into a Sichuan character.

Xue Shou suddenly persuaded at this time: "Your Highness, you are now the backbone of my Tang Dynasty, if something goes wrong with you, then my Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks may have to be put on hold for the time being.

So you should not take risks at this time.

It should be noted that the son of a daughter can't sit down. "

Su Dingfang and others nodded in agreement, and followed Xue Shou to say similar things.

Li Shimin's stomach was sour when he heard it. When he took risks with his own life, not so many people persuaded him.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I understand what you said, but I've already arrived here, if I don't go to see Liang Luoren, wouldn't this trip be in vain."

"How could it be in vain?"

When Su Dingfang and the others heard this, they excitedly found a reason for Li Yuanji not to come here in vain.

Li Yuanji could tell that they really cared about him and didn't want him to take risks.

If he only met Liang Luoren alone, then he would accept their opinions without hesitation.

The problem is that he met not only Liang Luoren, but also Ashina Simo.

And Ashina Simo is not only a person who will be loyal to Datang, but also a person who has strategic significance to Datang.

As long as Ashina Simo was recruited and helped by Ashina Simo, it would be easier for Datang to manage the Turks.

Datang also easily resolved the hatred with the Turks after the war, turning the Turks into an important brain power of Datang.

It can be said that Ashina Simo is an important bridge for the effective use of the Turkic people after the Tang Dynasty.

So this person must surrender.

Even if it is risky, you must try it.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, but I have already decided to see Liang Luoren, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."

When Su Dingfang and the others came up with a bunch of reasons in a hurry, Li Yuanji uttered a voice and stopped them.

Su Dingfang and the others frowned even more when they heard this.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, Your Majesty... oh no, why did Your Highness go to the enemy camp to send them off? !

How do you want us to fight?
Shoot an arrow on your head, or cut your neck with a machete?

"But don't worry, I won't go to Liang Shidu's land to meet Liang Luoren, and I won't give them a chance to set up an ambush. We'll meet them at Xianrenling outside Daizhou.

In this way, you can rest assured, right? "

Li Yuanji asked with a smile.

He also didn't blindly remain tough, because staying tough in this kind of matter can easily leave people with an image of not listening to dissuasion and preferring to go his own way.

And once this kind of image is established, if you keep winning, then you will be a hero admired by everyone.

If you lose a game, you will lose your heart.

Words such as self-willedness and so on will be used on you.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is an example. After winning most of his life and losing one game, he became a representative of self-willedness.

So this kind of image can't be established.

Be soft while being hard, and be hard while being soft. Doing both soft and hard is the way to be a king.
