Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 475 Li Shimin's Thoughts
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, wrote to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks.Tang Taizong used the Turkic attack on Hexi as an excuse, and on the 23rd ordered the troops to send troops in six ways to destroy the Eastern Turks.Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the general manager of the Dingxiang Road, and Chi Jingde, the Duke of E, and Su Dingfang, the captain of Zhechong, were the deputy generals, leading the Chinese army to advance towards Yunzhong and Mayi; The chief of the Dao army, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and Gao Zengsheng, the governor of Minzhou, were the deputy generals. The Yellow River advances, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shiji, and is responsible for covering the left wing; Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the general manager of the Datong Road, and Zhang Baoxiang, the governor of Ganzhou, is the deputy general. Wei Xiaojie, governor of Youzhou, was the general manager of the Heng'an Road march, Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie was the deputy general manager, and led the army to the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic troops from fleeing eastward; The deputy general manager used the northeast to attack the Turkic rear, and monitored and contained Tuli Khan.More than a dozen generals led a total of more than [-] troops, all of whom were under Li Jing's command, and they counterattacked the Turks in six ways.In addition, there are Li Daliang, a man from Wuyang County, who guards Liangzhou against the northwest, and Liu Hongji, the Duke of Ren, guards Yizhou, Hebei, against the northeast.Except for Chen Guogong, Hou Junji, who was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War to stay in the capital, the main force of the Tang army and the most famous generals in the army almost came out.

As for Cheng Churui, he can live his life as he should, and the people outside are rushing forward for the credit, while Cheng Churui lives in his own one-acre three-point land. Call yourself free, as for external matters, whoever you love will die, and whoever you love will die, as long as you don't touch yourself, it doesn't matter.

If Li Shimin wants people and money this time, he is determined to destroy the Turks, but the troops led by Li Jing have nothing to do with Xieli. This Xieli is also a talent. He has long known that Li Shimin will attack him Similarly, we have already made preparations. From the current point of view, this is a long-term war.

Whether modern or ancient, what is this war fighting?Fighting is money and people!If the two sides continue to consume like this, it depends on which country is stronger and which side has better military tactics. In short, there will be no results for a while.

It has been more than half a year since the army was dispatched, and no good news came out. This made Li Shimin very angry while sitting on the golden palace. If he loses the first battle, then Datang will be in real danger.

"Cheng Churui is doing something right now!" Li Shimin was also tired, so he sent everyone out. Naturally, he had to guard against Li Xiuning and Cheng Churui, because the 1 people really gave him a headache. Whenever he thought of the [-] armored troops, he Both envy and fear.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Prince Cheng and the princess have not left Zhuangzi, and the [-] elites have not made any moves, and it is no different from normal days. According to reports from our people, Cheng Churui is holding some kind of party at home and having fun every night until dawn."

"He is really at ease!" Li Shimin said with a cold snort.But he was more or less relieved. At this time, he looked at the tactics mentioned by Li Jing in the memorial. If there is an elite soldier who goes deep into the enemy's rear and disturbs the Turkic Jieli's rear, then the battle will be much easier.I have also sent people to try, but most of them never returned.

In fact, Cheng Churui's army was vaguely mentioned in the memorial. They all saw it that day, so now only that army is competent. Every day it consumes is a waste of countless money and food.

"Let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui come here!" Li Shimin thought of these two capable subordinates, but in fact, in his heart, he just wanted Cheng Churui to fight the Turks, so that he could solve his suspicion of Cheng Churui, and secondly, he could also solve the Turks. In the current situation, if Cheng Churui's 1 people die in the end, he will feel at ease.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" The two came soon after, actually they ran into each other outside, and they chatted with each other a few words, they are both good people, of course they also guessed something about the emperor.

"Okay! The righteousness of our monarch and ministers for so many years is not going to the court now, so the red tape will be avoided! Come and give me a seat!" The more polite Li Shimin was, the more uncertain the two of them were. For the emperor, they were real. learn.

"The reason why I called you here today is about the current war. What do you two think? This is the battle report from the pharmacist just now. If it continues, even if the Tang Dynasty has tens of millions of national power, I can't afford it." Let's lead the topic first.

"In my opinion, I will be away now, and the emperor's order will not be given. Besides, Brother Yao is a great master of military art in the Tang Dynasty. He has his own ideas. Xuanling and I can manage state affairs. This kind of war, Don’t dare to speak without participating.”

"What Ruhui said is true! There is nothing we can do about this matter! But there is one thing that must be reported to the emperor. Originally, this matter was to be reported at the minister's meeting tomorrow, but if the emperor summons it today, then the minister will talk about it. Although my Tang Dynasty's treasury is full now, it can be consumed like this, and if the weather is good next year, it will be enough for at most one year.

Your Majesty, if all this money is used to fight wars, how will Datang develop? "This is the news that Fang Xuanling only got today. He is indeed writing a memorial. I didn't expect Li Shimin to summon him, so let's talk about it here!"

Li Shimin is also a person who has fought in war, so he doesn't know about it, but he can't tell what he is suffering now. If he withdraws his troops now, then Li Shimin is really a joke. If he doesn't withdraw, it will be a tug of war. , which is headless!
Of course it is difficult for him, and Turkic will definitely be even more difficult, but the opponent has the prairie, and if it really needs to be exhausted, the opponent may not be able to exhaust his side.

"Is there a way?" Li Shimin asked.

"At present, there is nothing to do. I don't have special talent for money and silver. Please punish the emperor!" The two knelt down.They really don't understand this.

"Get up, don't talk about the two of you, even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can't do it now! If..."

Fang and Du's hearts moved, and they immediately understood what Li Shimin meant by looking for them, it was not about discussing war, probably Li Shimin already knew it in his mind, what he was thinking about was the people in the Zhuangzi.They can't participate in this matter, the matter ordered by the Supreme Emperor himself, they have a few heads, and even they dare not go to Pingyang Mansion!
