Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"So those empires, whether they are willing or unwilling, they have no choice."

"Once they choose to refuse, it is a flagrant disobedience to the will of the alliance, and those who disobey are regarded as traitors!"

"There are so many members in the alliance, there will always be someone who covets them. Once they give the other coveters an excuse, when the time comes, several countries will launch an attack together. Your Majesty said... what will happen to them?"

Li Shimin's expression turned serious.

He thought for a while before saying: "There is no doubt about death!"

"Most of the members of the alliance are not too strong small countries, and the resistance of small countries is too weak. It is fine if there is only one opponent, but if four or five opponents attack together, it will definitely have no resistance. The result of subjugation cannot be avoided!"

Shen Lian nodded and said with a smile: "That's the truth!"

"So, Your Majesty thinks, in the face of such an ending, do those emperors have other choices?"

Li Shimin shook his head.

"As long as they want to keep their empire, they can only follow the general trend."

The corners of Shen Lian's lips raised: "So, what else does Your Majesty have to worry about?"

"We are not as sincere as they are, and their sincerity is worthless."

"What we need is that they are obedient, as long as they do it, that's fine!"

"And this is the purpose of my efforts to promote the alliance of nations!"

"Datang wants to become the overlord of the world, so he can't do everything by himself. No matter how large the population of Datang is, it can't help but consume it like that."

"But with an alliance, it's different."

"As long as we bind them with interests, secretly control some small countries, and absolutely obey my orders from Tang Dynasty when voting, then nothing will go wrong!"

"At that time, the entire alliance will not only be my Tang Dynasty's weapon, but it will definitely not be a problem at all."

Li Shimin listened to Shen Lian's words and looked at Shen Lian's confident smile, and he was filled with joy.

His eyesight is a little narrow.

Also because the alliance has just been established, he doesn't have much time to think about the alliance.

Only then did he understand after hearing Shen Lian's reminder.

It turns out that this is the real usefulness of the alliance!
Doesn't this mean that from now on, Datang will have one more powerful thug who doesn't charge any fees?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the happier he became.

The more I think about it, the more reliable it becomes.

His eyes are also getting brighter.

If only other countries are allowed to take action, and he reaps the benefits of the fisherman, it will naturally make him the most happy.

Nanzhao is not a weak country, if you want to destroy it, you will definitely sacrifice many soldiers.

But now, there is an alliance to take action, which can share the risk and help him destroy Nanzhao. This is definitely very cool!
He looked at Shen Lian and said with a smile: "Shen Lian, yes, this is a really good idea."

"There's such a good alliance out there to take advantage of, and indeed, there's no reason not to take advantage of it."

"Otherwise, our investment in the early stage will really be in vain."

When Shen Lian saw Li Shimin, he finally understood the meaning of the alliance and smiled.

He said: "That's it, so it is necessary to deal with Nanzhao!"

"And the alliance has just been established. As the saying goes, a new official needs three fires to take office, let alone such an alliance."

"So the alliance also needs to establish its authority and let other countries know the interests of the alliance!"

"So, at this time, don't the two sides just hit it off?"

"I think that as long as His Majesty proposes to deal with Nanzhao, those envoys will definitely agree with it."

"Of course...Your Majesty can't say that I, Tang Dynasty, wanted to deal with the Beidouhui, so I dealt with Nanzhao. Your Majesty only needs to say that the alliance is not so easy to be bullied."

"Now that they are bullying the alliance, the alliance will definitely fight back."

"As long as His Majesty says so, I believe...the other envoys have no reason to object."

Li Shimin thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

"You are right, don't talk about the alliance, even if it is Zhen, if you mention Nanzhao, I would like to destroy it!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Then there will be no problem."

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, you can find an opportunity to hold an alliance meeting."

"At the alliance meeting, we directly propose the matter of fighting against Nanzhao. Each member does not need to send too many people, just send 1 people each!"

"Ninety allied countries, that is, 90 troops, as long as the people who lead them are not brain-dead, they can destroy Nanzhao no matter what."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, I will issue a notice tomorrow to convene the first meeting of the Alliance of Nations. I will raise this matter at the meeting and let them vote. As long as the number of votes exceeds [-]%, that's fine."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. This is the time when the alliance is most united, so His Majesty doesn't have to worry."

"Your Majesty is at the meeting, and what needs to be done is another thing."

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and said, "What's the matter?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Who will lead the troops?"

"These 90 people are not small forces. We must control them in our own hands."

"Conquering Nanzhao is one aspect. Maybe in Nanzhao, we will encounter strong resistance from the Beidou Society. At that time, we will need the role of a large army."

"Don't forget, our goal is not only to destroy Nanzhao, but more importantly, to attack Beidouhui."

"Once you meet a member of the Beidou Society, you must spare no one at all costs!"

"But the commanders of other countries may not be determined to attack the Beidou Society. Maybe they will retreat in the face of the Beidou Society's strong resistance."

"So, we must control the army in our own hands."

"In this way, even if you encounter the Big Dipper Society, no matter how big the obstacles are, you won't have any problems."

"This attack on Nanzhao is basically equivalent to officially declaring war on the Beidou Society."

"So, if you don't seize every opportunity to eliminate the power of the Beidou Society at this time, you will suffer backlash in the future!"

Li Shimin understood what Shen Lian meant.

He took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "Who is better to lead the army?"

Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin and said in a deep voice: "I recommend someone, he is qualified and the most suitable!"

"Who?"

"Hedong, Xue Rengui!"

"Xue Rengui?"

Li Shimin was startled.

He frowned and said: "Although Xue Rengui is indeed very good, but he doesn't have the experience of leading so many troops, right? Let him go... I'm a little worried."

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't trust Xue Rengui, it's just that Xue Rengui is too young.

The most important thing is no experience!

This is sometimes fatal.

But Shen Lian said firmly: "No one can do it except him!"

The Imperial Palace, inside the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin was very surprised when he heard Shen Lian's words.

He didn't understand why Shen Lian valued Xue Rengui so much.

Although Xue Rengui led people to rescue him before, Shen Lian also looked at Xue Rengui in a different light.

But Xue Rengui is still too young no matter what.And the most important thing is that Xue Rengui only led 3000 people before.

But this time, once he leads the alliance army, it will be an army of 90 people!
The gap between 90 people and 3000 people is really too big.

Li Shimin was really worried about a person with no experience at all.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xue Rengui, nor does he not value Xue Rengui.

On the contrary, Li Shimin valued Xue Rengui very much, and felt that Xue Rengui would definitely become a general of the Tang army in the future.

But that too is the future, not the present.

Therefore, he did not understand Qin Wenyuan's words.

I don't understand why Shen Lian is so determined.

Li Shimin said: "Shen Lian, it's not that I don't trust Xue Rengui, it's just that he has no experience after all. This is not a child's play. If he only commands tens of thousands of people, then I will allow it."

"But this time, it's an army of 90, and it's an army made up of various countries. It's not united. At this time, if Xue Rengui is sent with no experience, I'm really worried that there will be problems."

Shen Lian was so smart that he naturally knew what Li Shimin was worried about.

He said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the army is made up of various countries and they are not united, that's why I recommended Xue Rengui."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

Shen Lian said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten who saved the envoys of various countries from the hands of death?"

"It's Rengui!"

"So those envoys will definitely be extremely grateful to Xue Rengui!"

"And Xue Rengui's demeanor at that time will definitely leave a deep impression on their hearts."

"People have a special complex, that is, those who save themselves in a critical moment, in their hearts, are the most powerful, and also the most trustworthy and trustworthy."

"So for them, Xue Rengui is not a new general, nor is he an inexperienced general. In their hearts, Xue Rengui is the god of war that makes them feel at ease!"

"Therefore, if Xue Rengui were to command the armies of their respective countries, and then let them act as a buffer in the middle and run in with each other, then the 90 army would not be scattered, but could truly become an army with strong combat effectiveness!"

Li Shimin was thoughtful.

Thinking about Shen Lian's words.

Shen Lian continued: "The alliance army's first action is of great significance!"

"If the operation goes well, it will definitely increase the confidence among the allied countries, and it will also make the allied countries closer together. It will be easier to act again in the future."

"However, if this operation does not go well, and there is no tacit understanding between the armies of the alliance countries, or even fights, resulting in a poor experience with each other, then it will be difficult for His Majesty to form such an army next time."

"So, the first action, what we want to avoid, is where there is disunity."

"The commander's experience is second to none."

"With a force of 90, even if you don't have much experience, you can push Nanzhao horizontally."

"Therefore, Xue Rengui is indeed inexperienced, but he saved those envoys, and this is his greatest advantage."

"Those envoys are grateful to him. When the time comes, he can take those envoys directly."

"And those envoys must have a lot of control over the soldiers in their country. In this case, there will be a buffer."

…………

"Xue Rengui can control those soldiers through these envoys."

"After the victory in this battle, the foundation of victory will be established, and everyone will get along well with each other, so it will be fine even if there are no envoys in the middle."

"But for the first march, we can't have any accidents."

"so……"

Shen Lian took a deep breath and said: "Xue Rengui is really the best choice. I can't find anyone more suitable than Xue Rengui."

After listening to Shen Lian's explanation, Li Shimin did not make a decision in a hurry.

Instead, he thought about it for a while in his heart.

After comparing horizontally and vertically, he finally said, "As you said, Xue Rengui is indeed the most suitable."

"But I'm still a little worried..."

"I'll go too!"

At this time, Shen Lian's voice suddenly sounded.

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "With me helping Xue Rengui, your Majesty has nothing to worry about now, right?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened when he heard Qin Wenyuan's words.

Without any hesitation, he shook his head directly and said, "No!"

"I don't agree!"

Li Shimin said: "It's too dangerous! You are dead, what will Xiao Changle do!"

"Shen Lian, you are not unaware of your current situation. You have ruined the Beidou Society's plans one after another. The Beidou Society must hate you extremely."

"In Datang, I can still send people to protect you, and can effectively stop the Beidou Society's actions."

"But once you leave Datang, I can no longer protect you!"

"And the matter of war is never certain. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?"

"What if an accident happens?"

Li Shimin said: "In the Tang Dynasty, anyone can die, but not the people from the Prince of Chu's Palace, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your Highness, Kuan'er, so you Shen Lian must not die!"

"Accidents can happen to anyone, but not you Shen Lian!"

"So, I really can't let you go!"

Li Shimin's attitude is very firm.

Although the army of the Alliance of Nations has a strong advantage, the war does not mean that there will be victory with a large number of people.

In case of any accident in the middle, in case of twists and turns in the middle.

Then he really couldn't find a place to cry.

Therefore, Li Shimin opposed it with all his strength, extremely opposed, and did not agree with Shen Lian's risk at all.

Shen Lian didn't expect that Li Shimin would react so big.

He said: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried about Rengui's lack of experience? If I go over and help him secretly, there will be no accidents."

"This will completely dispel His Majesty's worries."

Li Shimin said: "That's different! If Xue Rengui leads the army alone before you go, I would rather choose him who is inexperienced to go alone!"

"His Majesty……"

"Shen Lian!"

Li Shimin said: "You are so smart, don't tell me that you don't know what you mean to Datang."

"Now that you are in the court, the people believe in the court!"

"If you are alive, the people will feel at ease!"

"But if something happens to you, the hearts of the people may be shaken. At that time, there is no telling what will happen."

"And I have always regarded you and the Prince of Chu's Palace as the future of the Tang Dynasty. I will also entrust the future of the Tang Dynasty to you. You represent the future of the Tang Dynasty, so you must not make any mistakes."

This is the first time Li Shimin has said this to Shen Lian so seriously.
