Capital Datang

"Report to my father, Goguryeo occupied Liaodong, and repeatedly resisted our army in the Central Plains, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese children. It is really a confidant of my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, my son thinks that we should send troops to seize its city, destroy its country, and exterminate it as soon as possible. Heir, to eliminate future troubles!"

As soon as Li Yin's words came out of his mouth, Wei Zheng and others shook their heads secretly, thinking that Li Yin was too young and his vision was too short-sighted.But Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart, thinking that although Li Min was smart enough, he lacked courage and courage, and turned against Li Shimin's pressure and surrendered.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised. He thought that Li Yin would oppose the conquest of Goguryeo like everyone else, but he was the only one who supported him. This made Li Shimin, who was isolated and helpless, feel very relieved.

Li Yin saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, but he smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "Father, although Goguryeo is a small country, because it is located in the bitter cold of Liaodong, and there are no major changes in the country, So it's not easy to fight, for this reason, my son here has "Three Strategies for Ping Liao" to offer, hoping to help the father."

"Okay, I still know my heart, tell me about your three strategies for Ping Liao, and let me and all the gentlemen listen to it." Li Shimin laughed loudly at the table, and finally found a supporter. It seems that it is still early. Prepared, even thought out a plan, and this person is his own son, the so-called father and son soldiers in battle, the ancients did not deceive me!Capital Datang 39

Fang Xuanling was hesitant. Could it be that Li Yin was perfunctory yesterday, when in fact he had already made up his mind to support the attack on Goguryeo?But this is not justified, Li Yin is just an idle prince, how could he care about these military affairs?The other ministers scoffed at Li Yin's words. Li Yin is only a 15-year-old boy who has never led a soldier or discussed politics. How could there be any three strategies for Ping Liao? It is probably just superficial opinion at best .

"Yes, Father!" Li Yin bowed to Li Shimin and the others before saying, "My strategy to flatten the Liao Dynasty is based on the actual situation of Goguryeo. It is divided into three strategies. The first strategy is the strategy of exhausting the enemy: Goguryeo is located in the east of Liaodong, and the land does not produce much. Every summer and autumn is a critical moment for their grain harvest. At this time, our Datang can send a small group of elites to harass the people of the country, delaying the farming season, and at the same time blockade. At the border of Goguryeo, it is strictly forbidden for the grain of the Tang Dynasty to flow into Goguryeo, and after a few years, Goguryeo’s national power will be greatly damaged due to food shortage.”

"Hiss~" Li Shimin and the civil and military officials all gasped after hearing Li Yin's first strategy. If Li Yin's poisonous plan is really true, it is estimated that Goguryeo will not suffer a great loss of national strength in a few years, but will directly fall into the brink of civil strife and collapse. At that time, where will the Tang Dynasty send troops? Liaodong.Li Shimin and all civil and military officials had to look at Li Yin with admiration for being able to come up with such a sophisticated plan at such a young age.

Li Yin has been completely absorbed in his own thinking, and did not notice the reactions of Li Shimin and the civil and military officials. He continued: "The second strategy is called the strategy of alienation: the interior of Goguryeo is not monolithic. Many generals hold heavy troops and refuse to listen to the orders of the king. King Rongliu has always wanted to take back the military power. My Tang Dynasty can send agents into Goguryeo, or buy or threaten to provoke the relationship between King Rongliu and the powerful generals. In order to achieve the purpose of division, and even let it break out into civil strife, when the Tang Dynasty sends out a large army, it can be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"The third strategy is the strategy of strength: Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, especially in winter. If the army cannot conquer Goguryeo before winter, they can only retreat and wait for the next spring to fight again. However, I heard that Gaochang's state-owned crops It is called Baidiezi, and its flowers are like cotton wool. Not only can it be used to weave cloth, but it can also be stuffed into clothes to make cotton clothes, which are warmer than furs. If they can be equipped in large quantities, soldiers will no longer have to be afraid of Liaodong. bitter cold."

After Li Yin finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he liked history in his previous life, and he knew a lot about the glorious era of Tang Dynasty.In addition, Bangzi Kingdom in the previous life always clamored about Goguryeo, so Li Yin paid special attention to the history between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, so he was able to talk about it at this critical moment.By the way, Goguryeo is not the ancestor of Bangzi country, but the small country of Silla.

After listening to Li Yin's three strategies for Ping Liao, Li Shimin and the officials below looked at each other in blank dismay. For a while, they didn't know what to say. The last one was okay. Bai Diezi and the others had also heard of it, and there was a seller of Bai Die cloth in Chang'an. , I just didn't expect that white folds can also be used to make cotton coats to keep warm.But the first two strategies are more sinister than the other, and it can even be said that they use unscrupulous means to achieve their goals. Although there is no benevolence and justice between countries, Datang is a big country after all, and the articles on the surface still need to be used. I did it, and even if I did it, it doesn't need to be so blatant, right?

However, Li Shimin and the officials also admitted that Li Yin's first two strategies were indeed very good. Even if they failed to achieve the expected goal, they could still make Goguryeo half dead.

"Ahem~, what do you Aiqing think?" Li Shimin was the first to react, and asked the officials below with some embarrassment.Regarding these two poisonous tricks of his son, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad?Li Yin is only 15 years old, where did he learn all these vicious tricks?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Highness's first strategy is feasible. Liaodong is sparsely populated. If you use a small group of elites to harass it, as long as you don't head-on with a large group of enemy troops, it will definitely make Goguryeo tired." Li Jing said first. Stand up first, speaking from the military point of view, he is a soldier, on the field it is either you die or I live, and he can do anything to win, so he appreciates Li Yin's strategy very much.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Yin with deep meaning, and stepped forward with a smile on his mouth, saying, "Your Majesty, I have also heard about the fact that Goguryeo was honored as king. Holding a heavy army is very disrespectful to King Rongliu. As the suzerain of the Tang Dynasty, how can we let this kind of deception go unchecked? Therefore, the veteran thinks that we should send someone to contact King Rongliu to help him eradicate Gai Quansu Wen and others, give Goguryeo a bright future."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Yin felt very ashamed. Cultured people are different. Looking at Fang Xuanling, he was obviously trying to sow discord, but when it came to his mouth, he became the suzerain state helping the subordinate state to eradicate traitors.Li Shimin and a group of civil servants were smiling when they heard it. It doesn't matter if they are despicable, but they want to put a beautiful coat on the ugly despicableness.But those generals scoffed at this, and looked at Fang Xuanling with contempt.

"Hahaha~, the two Aiqings are right, these two strategies are indeed feasible." Li Shimin laughed loudly, but quickly turned to Li Yin and said, "You are so young, you can have such insight, why do you have such insight? Father is very pleased, but I also know about the white chrysanthemum you mentioned, and I have planted some in my royal garden, but it is expensive, and it is absolutely impossible to fill clothes as you said."

"Father, if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. Baidizi is more drought-tolerant. There are many dry lands that cannot be cultivated in Tang Dynasty. As long as the imperial court vigorously promotes it, the price will come down within a few years. , the flowers of Baidizi can be used to weave cloth, and the seeds can also be used to extract oil, and the yield is very large. If it can be planted in large quantities, it will be a good thing for the country and the people."

"Unexpectedly, His Highness knows so much about farming and mulberry. It really makes me feel ashamed! I ask Your Majesty to make an order to vigorously promote the cultivation of Baidiezi." With a glance, it seems that he has already understood Li Yin's intentions.

"Hahaha~, good! Of course I will vigorously promote such a thing that benefits the country and the people." Li Shimin's mood improved now, and he didn't know where to throw the anger just now.

"Huh~? No, there is a problem with the three strategies of Ping and Liao!" Li Shimin, who was in the middle of his head, suddenly froze, and he realized that he seemed to have been fooled, and he was still fooled by his own son.Although Li Yin's three strategies of Ping Liao are good, they all have a common shortcoming, that is, it takes too long. Not to mention Diezi, it is estimated that it will take at least three or four years from promotion to real practical application.

"Hmph, you're playing hard to get, Liu Ying, you are young, but you have a lot of eyes." After thinking about this part, Li Shimin snorted angrily, and said coldly.

"Father, what did you say 'playing hard to get'? I really don't understand?" Li Yin opened his innocent eyes and refused to admit it.Don't look at Li Shimin's angry look on the surface, but Li Yin knows that Comrade Li is not really angry, and has decided to adopt his strategy, giving up the plan to send troops to conquer Goguryeo in the near future.Capital Datang 39

Li Shimin looked at Li Yin's acting like a rascal, although he had his own demeanor back then, but when he thought of being put on by his son, he really couldn't save face, so he rushed to Li Yin angrily, and kicked him hard. Li Yin slapped his butt, and then shouted loudly: "You are too young to be a rascal in front of me!"

In this ancient society that pays attention to rules and regulations, it is only natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son. Li Yin didn't even dare to hide. Human rights, finally presented three clever ideas, and they were adopted, but instead of being rewarded, they were kicked. What kind of world is this?

Fang Xuanling, who had understood his intentions long ago, was smiling with his beard, and there was not a single stupid person present, who immediately realized that everyone had a good impression of Li Yin, and then looked at Li Yin's grievance after being kicked. Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.Before the Song Dynasty, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was not as strict as after the Song Dynasty. For example, the ministers who discussed affairs usually sat like the emperor, and they talked more casually. It was very common to make a joke. There will be no censor Xian's egg pain and impeachment of their 'crime of misconduct'.

After all, Li Shimin is a hero of the generation. Although he is eager to conquer Goguryeo, the strategy offered by Li Yin is not only safe, but also more effective than directly conquering with a large army. With such a clever strategy, he will of course adopt it, although it takes a long time. But compared with the price paid by the army for conquest, it is definitely extremely high quality and low price.So Li Shimin immediately discussed the implementation details of Li Yin's strategy with all the ministers. Seeing that Li Shimin changed his mind, Fang Xuanling and the others cooperated very much at the moment, competing to express their opinions and ideas, and supplementing Li Yin's three strategies. It is more complete. Among them, Baidizi will be planted in wasteland around Chang'an for trial planting. One is to accumulate experience, and the other is to cultivate more seeds for large-scale promotion in the coming year.

Li Yin couldn't intervene in these matters at all. After Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling finished discussing the matter, Li Shimin didn't break up the meeting directly, but turned to Li Yin and said: "Liu Lang, you first presented the method of making cement, Today, I presented the Three Strategies of Ping and Liao, both of which are great achievements, of course you should be rewarded! But as a prince, the usual rewards are not suitable for you, so I want to ask you what you want first, as long as it is a father What the emperor can give, a father will never be stingy."

Hearing Li Shimin's generous promise, Li Min was overjoyed. When he was firing cement, he already had a vague plan in his mind. After several days of careful consideration, a huge plan had appeared in his mind. In his hands, if this plan can be successful, it will not only have an extremely important impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, but also can tie a large number of people to him with interest groups, greatly increasing the strength of his Liang Palace.However, there is a very critical prerequisite for this plan, which is the nod of Li Shimin, and now is just a good opportunity to propose it. . ..
