I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Shimin looked towards Li Yuan, who was still holding his head when sitting down, felt a little bit unbearable. Li Yuan was almost unable to support her body, especially during the cold winter last year, almost died of illness. Fortunately, I got over it, but now, Li Yuan dragged his body to the front line again, obviously worried about the situation on the front line.

Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor, you don’t actually have to come to the front line. You don’t have to worry about the current situation on the front line. Your minister will arrange it. This battle will not end in a day or two. “

Although Jiuquan County is lost, Li Shimin’s army is still there.

Li Shimin can fight again.

So Li Shimin still has fighting spirit.

Li Yuan sighed, his head shifted slightly, and he looked towards Li Shimin and said: “Emperor, the domestic situation is unstable. Even the Crown Prince supervises the country, and Fang Xuanling assists in the administration. But in At the moment, it is difficult to stabilize the situation. There are already rebels and chaos in Great Tang, and there are not a few who kill officials and rebels. Even some bulls, ghosts and snakes from the pre-Sui Dynasty have also rushed out. Great Tang is in chaos! For this reason, the old man came to the front in person.”

shua!

Li Shimin complexion greatly changed.

How is it possible?

He hasn’t been here long since he has been on the front line.

Previously, it was okay. The various places are still stable, but now there are chaos in various places. This news makes Li Shimin’s emotions that have just calmed down and fluctuates again.

There was even a trace of panic in my heart.

The stability behind Great Tang is the cornerstone.

If the rear is chaotic and Li Shimin wants to stabilize the battle with Du Qi spare no effort, it is also impossible.

Li Shimin was still a little unwilling, and said: “Father Emperor, it was all good before. Why suddenly, such a big trouble broke out. Everywhere, there should be no big problems!”

Li Yuan said solemnly: “You have conquered Xia Country several times, and you have mobilized innumerable troops. There are countless soldiers who died on the front line. There are countless soldiers who have not returned home. To the world, , The impact is huge. Moreover, the large-scale arrest of Xia Country’s businessmen has affected the entire Great Tang’s business system and the lives of the people.”

“Therefore, there have been fluctuations in various places.”

“It’s just because you suppressed the situation when you were in Cháng’ān. Or news from many places never came out. After you left, news broke out one after another.”

“Crown Prince can’t be suppressed anymore.”

“Especially before, many officials in various places were assassinated. Some of these people died under Du Qi’s secret stakes, but some were caused by unpredictable people. , Is to seize power. So for various reasons, the situation suddenly collapsed.”

Li Yuan’s voice was hoarse, even a little low, and he slowly said: “The emperor, at this point. The war can no longer continue. If you continue to fight, Du Qi has never achieved a breakthrough here, and the country will be completely chaotic. Once the domestic chaos, then you are rootless. You need to settle down first, and you must stabilize the internal. Only to fight Du Qi again.”

Li Shimin’s mood is extremely irritable.

The situation is too bad.

The house leaks in the evening rain. For Li Shimin, the domestic situation is even worse.

Li Shimin said solemnly: “Father Emperor, if you return to Cháng’ān, you will personally preside over the situation. At present, can the domestic situation be suppressed and the chaotic situation can be stabilized?”

He has pinned his hopes on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan has experience after all.

There is also prestige.

Originally, it was impossible for a Retired Emperor who had already Zen to go out of the mountain. Even, will be guarded by all kinds of defenses. But now Li Shimin’s situation is already extremely bad, so he dares to make such arrangements.

Li Yuan shook the head said: “The emperor, the old man has no energy after saying a few more words now. Where can he still have the energy to govern the political affairs. Just a few years ago, maybe he still has this energy , It’s impossible now.”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

How to choose?

If he is to give up fighting with Du Qi, he will have to seek peace, but Li Shimin is unwilling to choose. However, if we do not seek peace and continue to fight with Du Qi, the domestic situation will continue to be chaotic. Once we do not quickly suppress it and evolve into national turmoil, it will be impossible to suppress it.

Li Shimin was in a dilemma for a while.

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty, the minister has a strategy.”

Li Shimin’s eyes suddenly lit up and asked: “Fuji, what are your strategies?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Under the premise of chaos in the country, abandoning the country is definitely impossible, His Majesty must go back to preside over the overall situation, otherwise the situation will continue to collapse. But if we withdraw directly, Du Qi will be able to make progress. So. Even if you want to withdraw your troops and make peace with Du Qi, you must let Du Qi know that I, Great Tang, cannot be deceived. Great Tang still has the power to fight.”

Li Yuan suddenly interrupted:” Zhangsun Wuji, what do you mean is to let the emperor fight Du Qi again.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “It is not only a battle, but also a fight with all our strength. We don’t care about anything, we just give up. All the offense, spare no effort. Du Qi was in Changbaipo, and we tried our best to attack. Even if we suffered a huge loss, Du Qi was not comfortable. In the end, Du Qi even had a certain advantage, but It will be difficult for him to attack again. By then, we will negotiate with Du Qi again, and things will be easier.”

Li Shimin was a little moved when he heard it.

This is a choice.

It is a good arrangement.

Although Li Yuan is very old, he even seems to be full of decadence, but his mind is extra clear. He said solemnly: “The emperor, Zhangsun Wuji’s suggestion is good. But this choice , Must be built on the premise that Du Qi’s loss is great. Once Du Qi still has an army, then when the time comes, what will you resist?”

Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor said Very much.”

Li Yuan took a deep breath and continued: “The other most important thing is the domestic unrest. You don’t have enough troops to go back and suppress the situation. Can you just say it with your mouth? The force you have now is a weapon to suppress the situation. Emperor, don’t think about everything very good. If you expect it too well, you will eventually be disappointed.”

Zhangsun Wuji also said: “Retired Emperor, you I also underestimated my Great Tang officers.”

Li Yuan said angrily: “I have never underestimated the bravery of Great Tang officers. On the contrary, you have underestimated Du Qi. Repeatedly. , Repeated provocations, it is extremely unwise. Zhangsun Wuji, all the previous battles with Xia Country, you can not get rid of the relationship, you have your frustration. You, you are damned.”

paused, Li Yuan continued: “The old man is not opposed to war with Xia Country, but if you want to go to war, then spare no effort, then you have to do everything. If at first, mobilize an army of four hundred and fifty thousand to kill. Maybe it’s different. Every time the twenty-thirty army seems to be too much, but it gives Xia Country alive.”

Zhangsun Wuji chuckled.

He did not defend himself.

Because he believes that Li Shimin has his own judgment.

Li Shimin opened the mouth and said: “Father Emperor, I won’t talk about the past. What we need to consider now is to solve the current problems. I also know that Father Emperor’s analysis makes sense. Right now It must be impossible to continue the war.”

“I, I have given up.”

Li Shimin said directly.

He really gave up.

The situation is unfavorable, and he won’t admit defeat, because there is chaos everywhere in the country, he must do this.

Li Yuan sighed in his heart when he heard Li Shimin’s words. Nobody understands one’s son better than his father. He knows exactly how proud Li Shimin is, but now he says he has given up in front of him, which shows Li Shimin’s inner helplessness.
