First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 16

Liu Wenjing twirled her beard, held her head up and said, "It's definitely not the best time to become emperor, but the Turks demanded that Duke Tang break with the Sui Dynasty, which would offend the Turks. I have two strategies. resolve".

"I knew that Zhaoren was very witty," Li Yuan clapped his palms and was overjoyed, "Tell me quickly."

Pei Ji's face was gloomy after hearing this, which undoubtedly slapped him in the face.

"First, the Turkic Shibi old man obviously doesn't like Yang Guang, and Yang Guang's stupid king is also the culprit who caused the chaos in the world. We can use the banner to respect Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor and establish a new king. In this way, we can do Show it to Shibi, and secondly, it can stabilize the hearts of the old officials of the Sui royal family.

Second, change the flag and change the flag, and use red and white mixed colors as the flag instead of using the red flag of the Sui Army to show your position.These two measures can show Turks that our Taiyuan Rebel Army is completely different from the Sui Dynasty, but it is not too much for the world." Liu Wenjing put down her wine glass and became the focus of the audience, talking eloquently.

Hearing this, Pei Ji couldn't help but sneered, "Deceive your ears and steal your bell."

The smile on Liu Wenjing's face stagnated, and she was annoyed in her heart, "Does Supervisor Pei have a better way?"

Pei Ji hesitated when he heard that.

Li Yuan paced back and forth, looked at the people in the hall, "What do you guys think?", everyone was silent.

Suddenly, Li Yuan saw Gao Junya who was sitting silently under the seat, and immediately asked: "I have heard that Junya is both literary and military, and he is called Xiao Zhoulang. I don't know what Junya thinks?"

Gao Junya didn't panic when she heard this, and thought it over for a while, "The situation forced me to do nothing else, but I think it's better to eliminate the influence of the Turks as much as possible. After all, the Turks are barbarians on the grassland. Like Liu Wuzhou and others, if they enlist the help of Turks, they are afraid that they will lose the hearts of scholars in the world."

"Jun Ya's words are very suitable for me," Li Yuan nodded in praise upon hearing this, Li Yuan also cherishes feathers very much, if people in the world scold him for colluding with the Turks, he can't bear the infamy.

Li Yuan immediately ordered: "Zhaoren, please bring a cart full of belongings, and write in my hand, and then go to Loufan County, and thank Shibi for me in person. The two thousand horses will be counted as my borrowing. It will be doubled, but I don’t need any military support, my Taiyuan Rebel Army is enough.”

Liu Wenjing took the order and went.

The next day, Li Shimin Gao Chong returned to Jinyang with [-] Turkic cavalry and [-] horses.

I am happy to get a war horse for nothing, but as for the double repayment, it is just an empty promise. What's more, if we really capture Guanzhong, what is a mere gold and silver treasure? It should be left behind as it should be, and we will talk about it in the future. It is not certain whether to admit it or not.

But those five hundred horsemen were a bit of a headache. They could neither attack the city nor offend them. Li Yuan had an advantage. If it was difficult to make a decision, he called everyone to discuss it.

"Since the five hundred horsemen can't be used by me, let them go outside the city," Pei Ji said disapprovingly after hearing Li Yuan's concerns.

As soon as this remark came out, the good friend Li Yuan felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately shook his head to deny it. The eldest Sun Shunde continued: "Then Hu Qi will not stay in the place you designated."

"Exactly" Gao Junya nodded and agreed, "Hu Qi has always had no military discipline. If he is left outside the city and ignored, he is afraid that he will cause harm to the people."

Seeing that Pei Ji's proposal was rejected by everyone, Li Yuan waved his hands and said, "Xuan Zhen didn't mean that" in order to protect the face of his friends.

Pei Ji didn't take it seriously, and continued to lie on the couch and doze off. In Li Yuan's meeting room, only Pei Ji dared to be so self-willed and disregarding etiquette.

"Put them in the camp west of the city," Li Jiancheng said upon seeing this, "There are more than [-] sergeants in the camp west of the city. Putting [-] old horses in it will restrain them. , They dare not presumptuously.”

"Very good, just follow what Jiancheng said."Li Yuan heard the words, and then looked at the crowd of civil and military officials, "My lords, now that the rear has been decided, there is no need to worry about the Turks, but there are still external threats. We are planning to plan Guanzhong, how should Li Mi in Heluo deal with it?"

"He occupies his Heluo, let's go to Guanzhong, and if we don't interfere with him, what's the matter with Li Mi?" Lang Jiang Li Gaoqian frowned when he heard this.

Li Gaoqian was an open-minded man, more than brave, but lacking in resourcefulness, he was just a brave general who charged into the battle, not a good general who led the battle.

Hearing this, several other people secretly despised Li Jiancheng for being a reckless man. Li Jiancheng couldn't see it, and coughed, "Li Mi separatized Heluo, with more than [-] troops and a thousand generals. He can be called the largest prince in the world. If we attack Guanzhong , even if they are neighbors, how could Li Mi just sit idly by?"

Everyone was silent when they heard the words.

Gao Chong was sitting at the bottom right now. He was only a captain. If it wasn't for Gao Junya and Li Shimin, he wouldn't be qualified to enter the conference hall. Seeing that everyone was embarrassed by this question, he couldn't help being a little surprised. Is the question difficult?
Although he can't remember how to solve this matter in the original historical track, judging from some negotiation cases in his memory, this problem does not seem to be difficult.

Li Yuan looked at it one by one, and saw that everyone was contemplative and silent, but Gao Chong's rich expression at the end attracted him, Li Yuan frowned, "Youzhi, what's your opinion?"

Gao Chong was shocked, Gao Junya turned around and gave him a hard look, but Gao Chong didn't panic, he got up and saluted, "Mr. Tang, this matter is actually easy to handle."

"Is it easy?"

Everyone was startled, facing the biggest princes in the world, do you think this matter is easy to handle?
"It's nothing more than a gesture," Gao Chong said after a little deliberation, "Li Mi is arrogant and suspicious, Tang Gong only needs a handwritten letter, praising Li Mi to the fullest, praising him as the biggest prince in the world and the only one who can rule the world. The only hero who can help the world and the people shows that the army and people of Taiyuan support him very much.

At the same time, it shows that our march into Guanzhong is only a matter of abolishing and establishing, and has no intention of seizing the great Sui Dynasty.Let Li Mi relax his vigilance against us, so that Li Mi will definitely not interfere in Guanzhong, and will only deal with those Guandong princes wholeheartedly."

After Gao Chong said it, everyone behaved differently, some thought it was feasible, while others thought it was ridiculous.

"Then Li Mi is also a hero of the generation, can he be fooled by a letter?" Changsun Shunde was a little unbelievable.

But before anyone else expressed their opinion, Li Yuan waved his hand, paced back and forth, and said, "I have had contact with Li Mi before, and his arrogance and suspicion are his Achilles heel. In Daxing City in the past, his people It is full of arrogance, everything must be the first, and this method... is feasible."
