Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 19 Li Shimin’s panic, strike first and gain the upper hand?

After Li Yuanji made arrangements with Su Dingfang, he looked at Xie Shufang and Xi Junmai, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

“Xi Junmai, when everyone starts to march, you will lead 10,000 people and be responsible for the elderly, children, women and children, as well as money, food, weapons, etc. You must not only keep people safe, but also ensure the smooth movement of all materials.

Ten thousand people may be a little too few. I will give you another five thousand, fifteen thousand in total. This is the greatest support I can give you. Once a war breaks out, the others must be immediately deployed to the battlefield.

After you go down, immediately select the army and make good arrangements. There will definitely be many difficulties along the way, but you must be patient and not be impetuous, and you must not allow yourself to be whipped. If you do, I will hold you accountable!

If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me. If I can solve them for you, I will definitely solve them. If I can't solve them, I will also think of other ways to solve them for you.

Your responsibility and pressure are very heavy, you must do it well! "

Xi Junmai felt very solemn when listening to Li Yuanji's words. Now everyone had assembled and he had met them all. Although Li Yuanji gave him 15,000 men, this matter was more difficult than going to the battlefield.

Xi Junmai still did not retreat at all. He was willing to die for Li Yuanji, and it was not just talk. Moreover, his own mother was one of these old people, children, women and children.

"Please rest assured, my king. I will do my best to keep the army in order and ensure that we arrive in Lingnan safely!"

Li Yuanji looked at Xi Junmai and trusted him very much, because he had no choice but to trust him. There were only a few people under his command who could do something useful, so he had to make use of them.

Then he looked at Xie Shufang.

"The rest of the army will follow me and form the central army. They will also carry some supplies, as well as a certain number of elderly, children, women and children. Don't put all the pressure on Junmai. We have to bear it too.

Specifically, you go down and make careful plans and arrangements. If there is anything unreasonable in my arrangements, you can correct them directly and tell me later. There is no need to ask for instructions on everything.

It's not just you, Ding Fang and Jun Mai are the same. If you encounter an emergency, just deal with it directly. I believe in you!"

The three of them were moved, especially Su Dingfang. He had followed many people before and after, but he had never thought that such trust was given by Li Yuanji, especially since he had only joined Li Yuanji's account not long ago.

Li Yuanji really trusted him and handed the army over to him directly, and also gave him the power to make decisions on the spot. This power was already enormous. If he had any second thoughts, Li Yuanji would have ascended to heaven on the spot.

"Please rest assured, my king. I will live up to your trust!"

While Li Yuanji was making arrangements here, Li Shimin also convened Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji and others in the Qin Palace to discuss the matter.

When Li Shimin told what had happened, Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up.

"King Qin, you can't give me any more gifts. Although I have some foundation now, I can't waste it like this.

Doesn't the King of Qin know what kind of person the King of Qi was originally? How can he change so easily in such a short time? If he continues to send him over, he will be using his own wealth to aid the enemy!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head.

"Assistant Ji, you can no longer say this. The King of Qi will leave for Lingnan in three days. Today, the Saint personally acknowledged it and will convey the imperial edict. This matter has been decided.

This matter was designated by the Saint himself. If I don't do it, I will inevitably offend the Saint and allow the Prince to gain more power.

I have already asked someone to do this, so there is no need to talk about it. What we need to consider now is what we should do next. "After Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji sighed, while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui frowned and pondered. After a while, Du Ruhui suddenly felt nervous and looked at Li Shimin immediately.

"King Qin, King Qi is going to Lingnan. This may be extremely disadvantageous to King Qin!"

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Shimin was stunned. It was bad for him? How could it be bad for him? With Li Yuanji gone, Li Jiancheng lost a helper. This should be very good for him.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Du Ruhui's voice came.

“King Qin, please think about this. Now the King of Qi is going to Lingnan to serve as a southwestern barrier for the Tang Dynasty and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the King of Qi praised the King of Qin highly and repeatedly told the sage that the King of Qin had extraordinary talents. He also said that the Turks were now rampant and that the King of Qin would definitely quell the threat from the Turks. The sage also attached great importance to it.

With these factors combined, plus the stimulus of the King of Qi going to Lingnan, what if the saint asked the King of Qin to go to the north to serve as a northern barrier for the Tang Dynasty? "

As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes widened, full of disbelief and panic. He really didn't think of this. He couldn't connect the fact that Li Yuanji went to Lingnan to the fact that Li Yuan would let him go to the north.

At this moment, not only Li Shimin was a little panicked, but Du Ruhui and others, especially Zhangsun Wuji, were also very panicked. If it was really as Du Ruhui said, then they would be like meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by Li Jiancheng.

Not only that, Li Shimin's hope of ascending to that position will also be completely shattered. In the north, there is Li Yi's (Luo Yi, who was given the surname Li) army there. Once he goes to the north, he will basically never be able to come back.

Li Shimin was in a state of confusion. At this time, Changsun Wuji spoke with a sinister look on his face.

“King Qin, what Ke Ming said is very likely. At this point, we can only take the initiative. While everyone’s attention is attracted by King Qi, King Qin can summon all the generals, mobilize the royal army, enter the palace, purge the emperor’s side, get rid of the prince, and force the saint to give up the throne!

Only in this way can we survive, King Qin, please strike first, King Qin, please do not hesitate!"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Du Ruhui and others were not shocked. This was not an uncommon thing among them. Changsun Wuji had advised Li Shimin to strike first more than once or twice.

Li Shimin began to come back to his senses after listening to Changsun Wuji's words. What Du Ruhui said was so shocking to him that he really couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin did not respond immediately. He pondered for a while before speaking slowly.

"For now, this matter is still Ke Ming's suspicion, and it has not happened yet. We must not act rashly. Moreover, the army of Prince Qi's Palace is now fully prepared and has been assembled. If we take action, the army of Prince Qi will turn back, and with the army of the Eastern Palace, we will have no chance of winning.

Now let’s wait for the King of Qi to go to Lingnan, and then see the attitude of the sage before making a decision! ”

Changsun Wuji sighed and said nothing more, but Fang Xuanling also spoke at this moment.

"King Qin, although we cannot start the action, we must make preparations now. If the saint really has this idea, we must not hesitate.

When the time comes, action must be taken. The King of Qin should not only think about himself, but also think about the Qin Palace, the Princess and the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince really takes power, the King of Qin should know in his heart what kind of disaster the Qin Palace will face.

Please, King Qin, don't be too soft-hearted! "
