Jiang Chengzi's words fell, and there was silence in the imperial study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xuancheng, you're not good at leading troops, so it's up to you to talk about your thoughts. Li Shimin directly named Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng took a step forward and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, it may not be feasible to do the opposite, after all, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and we are not familiar with them." If you rush into the army, hundreds of thousands of troops will be lost in the Lost Mountain, which will shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Don't take any chances. ”

"Well, back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks so too. Li Ji nodded in agreement.

"However, such an opportunity is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, Liang Shi has been entrenched in the north for a long time, knows the Central Plains well, and occupies favorable terrain, which is not intended for the Tang Dynasty to be a tiger on the pillow. Now, this is a good opportunity to get rid of him. Wei Zheng said again.

"Yes, it's a good opportunity to get rid of him, and at the same time, it can also make the Turks understand that Datang is not something they can watch at will. Li Ji echoed again.

Jiang Chengzi was secretly amused, this Li Ji is really like a legend, he likes to say beautiful things and pat himself on the back.

"Yes, that's what the minister meant. After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he slowly stepped back and returned to a suitable position.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I also understand what Xuan Cheng meant. What does that mean?"

"Your Majesty, the minister also agreed with what Dr. Wei said. If hundreds of thousands of troops attack Liang Shidu in the opposite way and take the Lost Mountain, this is too risky. But Liang Shidu and the Turks actually dare to watch like this and take action, and we can't blindly retreat and be conservative. This time, it was time to take advantage of the fact that Liang Shi didn't find out and be caught off guard. Eldest Sun Wuji said slowly.

Li Shimin didn't speak, only nodded slightly, and then asked, "What do the three generals mean?"

These three generals naturally refer to Qin Shubao, Hou Junji and Li Jing. Qin Shubao took a step forward and said, "The minister is the one who wants to resign and hang up his boots, and it is really inconvenient to participate in this decision." But if it is a minister, you can take a compromise. On the one hand, Chai Shao was ordered to quickly assemble a three-way army and make a gesture to attack Liang Shidu. On the other hand, the elite who are good at ambushes are sent to go the opposite way, capture the thief and the king, and capture Liang Shidu in one fell swoop. ”

"That's a succinct thing to say. Would General Qin have ever thought that if General Chai gathered a three-way army, the Liang division would be aware of it. According to his suspicious character, do you think our assassins still have a chance?" Hou Junji sneered, his expression was very disdainful and arrogant, "The general is right to choose to resign and retire today. After all, Lian Po is old. ”

This is the irony of Chi Guoguo.

Tsk, this Hou Junji's personality is really not very good. can be so sarcastic to colleagues, and a great hero.

Qin Shubao's expression did not change in the slightest, and he said gently and calmly: "Master Liang is suspicious, and the three-way army is assembled. He didn't dare to rashly send people to follow the path he had planned. Then this group of people who are the opposite of us can unexpectedly appear by Liang Shidu's side, arrest him, or destroy him. ”

"Well, that's exactly what it is. It was Li Jing, who had not spoken, who suddenly spoke.

The gray-haired old man had a calm expression and resolute eyes. This is the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty this time, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department. The stability of the Tang Dynasty up and down was built by him in a simple and simple way. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he adhered to the principle that if he could use soldiers, he would use soldiers, and if he could surrender without fighting, he would not fight.

Intrigue and conspiracy, political strategy.

He presented them to Datang one by one. Won the love and trust of Li Yuan and Li Shimin. Therefore, he continued to rise up, and by the time Li Shimin became the master, he was already the secretary of the military department. Because Li Shimin said that he wanted to be ashamed of the past and let the Tang Dynasty have no strong enemies and foreign troubles, Li Jing was authorized not to go to the court and worked hard to study the strategy of breaking the Turks.

Therefore, there is nothing urgent, and Li Jing does not have to go to court.

"Li Shangshu, Liang Shidu is suspicious. But who can guarantee that the path of Lost Mountain will be feasible? If it is an unfeasible road, it may destroy the elite of my Datang Dynasty. As you all know, it is not easy to cultivate an elite. Hou Junji said, looking at Li Ke very unkindly.

"It's not easy to train an elite. This is true. What Junji said is not unreasonable. Li Shimin nodded at the right time.

Hou Junji was even more frenzied, and said bluntly: "If there is a mistake in the road and the Tang elite falls, this will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Tang military." This adventure is not what it should be. In my opinion, this time we should not talk about it. This Liang division has to fight, and there is no hurry. Moreover, as long as it dragged on for a few days, the Liang Shidu and the Turks knew that the people they had sent to explore the way had been destroyed. They also did not dare to rashly attack Datang. ”

"But—" Jiang Chengzi pouted.

"There are no rules. Hou Junji immediately glanced at Jiang Chengzi.

"Why am I out of order? Since His Majesty invited me here, I naturally have to tell His Majesty what I think. Li Shangshu is bullying me like this. Hum. Jiang Chengzi pouted, like a little girl who had been wronged.

Alas, life is really like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Jiang Chengzi sighed silently in his heart, Li Shimin laughed, and said, "Junji, Azhi is still a child, but he is not your subordinate. Speaking of which, your Rui Niang's wedding date is also set. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Helan family also came to urge the marriage period, and Rui Niang is also the age of marriage. But because my wife's filial piety is still in March, after March, I will choose a date. Hou Junji replied.

"That's good. Li Shimin nodded, looked at Li Chengqian again and asked, "I heard that Rui Niang's quasi-husband Helan Chushi is in your East Palace?"

"Back to Your Majesty, he is a child guard, commanding the second mansion of the East Palace, he is low-key, modest, meticulous and calm, and he is a very good person. Li Chengqian replied.

"That's good. Li Shimin admired, and then said to Hou Junji with a smile, "You have this good son-in-law, and you are worthy of Hui Niang." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hou Junji's expression darkened slightly.

Jiang Chengzi didn't know the meaning of Li Shimin's interpolation of such an episode, so he only pondered what medicine he buried in his gourd. pondered back and forth, only to hear Li Shimin say: "That is the case." Think about it, you were too strict with Rui Niang before, even the queen couldn't look down on it. Don't frighten the little girl. ”

"It's the ministers who are used to leading the army. The day before yesterday, he came from Longyou Road, and Tuhun Valley was fighting, and Tubo also intervened. rushed back here, but he always didn't collect the murderous aura. Hou Junji explained, then looked at Jiang Chengzi and smiled, and said, "Ah Zhi, I scared you, but don't care." ”

It turned out that Li Shimin took such a detour to make Hou Junji soft. Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but save face, she shook her head and said: "You are all Azhi's elders, and you are the patron saint of the country and the people, Azhi is not careful, but I'm afraid that the general won't like me." I don't agree with my admission to the Academy. ”

"Oh, Ah Zhi is going to enter the Gewu Academy?" asked Li Shimin in surprise.

Jiang Chengzi immediately seized the opportunity to talk about the ins and outs of the future, and the eldest grandson Wuji also echoed and said: "Since Ah Zhi likes to study crops, it is not bad to enter the Gewu Academy to study. ”

"Hahaha. Li Shimin laughed and said, "Ah Zhi, just talk about your reason for entering the Gewu Academy in front of us." If you take it out and say it, you will be laughed at. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that I'll be bullied. You see that he is the king of Shu, but I am a folk woman with no merit and no grade. Jiang Chengzi said and pointed to Li Ke.

Li Ke said innocently and helplessly: "Father, how could I bully her." ”

"No matter what, I'm going to make a contribution. Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, "I'm going to go to the Gewu Academy to plant rice." ”

"Okay, well, when the Gewu Academy is built, I will allow you to go. Li Shimin said lovingly.

Before, according to the intelligence of the spies, he always felt that this girl was with Ke'er, or it would make Ke'er have the intention of seizing the world. Now when I see this girl, I always feel too immature and naïve, and there is no worldly desire in her expression and demeanor. Previously, he suspected that she was acting, so he carefully observed, and after watching it for a long time, he couldn't see any traces of acting at all.

"Great, great. Jiang Chengzi smiled.

Li Shimin smiled kindly before saying to her, "What did you just want to say?"

Jiang Chengzi stopped laughing, frowned and scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I forgot all of a sudden, please let me think about it, Your Majesty." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, feeling that this girl was really no different from their little granddaughter.

"Oh, I remembered. I would say that this is definitely not the first time they have explored the path. Because when they were fighting against each other, they brought big hounds, big eagles, and Hai Dongqing. These big hounds, eagles, and Haidongqing are all carnivorous and ferocious animals. I've heard that even if the average nobleman can afford to raise these animals, they don't necessarily get good breeds. In fact, when we faced each other later, we encountered a fierce beast, and the king of Shu and I were safe because of the terrain. One of them asked us for help, saying that his father was auspicious, and another dying man asked us for help, saying that he was a cousin of Liang Shidu. Jiang Chengzi said slowly with a state of half-memories.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Then did you save them?"

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "At that time, there were evil wolves and tigers all around, and we didn't move high in the trees. Moreover, if we move, the Hai Dongqing and the eagle eagle hovering in the sky will fan us down to the hidden tree. ”

"Exactly. Li Ke added a sentence to confirm what his daughter-in-law said.

"That's a pity. If you catch those two, it would be good. "Hou Junji is a pity.

"We don't dare. I can deal with a few small thieves with the kung fu of the King of Shu, but they have neat archers. Jiang Chengzi pouted and lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Azhi, it's not your fault. Li Shimin comforted softly.

Li Ke explained: "Your Majesty, what Ah Zhi means is that this is not the first time they have explored the path. If it was the first time, I would definitely not dispatch someone of such an identity. ”

"Yes, that's what I mean. Jiang Chengzi hurriedly said, and then looked at Li Ke and said with a smile, "I don't read much, in the future, you have to teach me patiently." ”

"Good. Li Ke's eyebrows were full of gentle smiles.

When the old guy remembered his youth, he was envious, and at the same time he muttered in his heart, and secretly scolded himself: When you are older, you will know that everything is easy.

Li Shimin was also uncomfortable, coughing twice to remind the two to pay attention to the impact. Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi really stood seriously, and both of them blushed.

Ah Zhi is right. It seems that this is not the first time for these people, and now this time, I am afraid that it is the last time to explore the road, and Liang Shidu must have gathered a large army. Li Shimin said.

The minister also thinks so. Today, we have the disadvantage of not being familiar with the terrain of Lost Mountain, and we do not know the exact route of their march. Therefore, it is the best policy to let Chai Shao gather a large army to attack Liang Shidu, so that he does not dare to rashly send troops. As for whether he did the opposite, he was taken by surprise. I'm afraid it will have to be discussed. However, we can send envoys into the Turks to make it look like the Turks want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shidu is suspicious by nature, if the Turks waver, he does not dare to rashly send troops. Li Jing, who had been listening, gave his own suggestions.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a military wizard, who really has a deep understanding of the world and a thorough analysis of the situation. Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but secretly admire.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "According to what Li Shangshu said." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister still has a few points to say. Li Jing said again.

Li Shimin nodded, and Li Jing summed up his strategy: "First, order Chai Shao to assemble a large army, and Hou Junji will lead the first army to outflank from the west and attack the Liang division. Second, send envoys to the Turks; third, order people to go deep into the Lost Mountain, and be sure to find this hidden danger. Fourth, Chang'an City strengthened its vigilance and strictly investigated the people who came and went; Sixth, let Cheng Zhijie of Longyou Dao lead his troops to Chang'an, and the defenders of Jiannan and Nandao also moved north. ”

"Li Shangshu's deployment is very good. It's just this pathfinder, and the Turkic envoy. The eldest grandson, Wuji, asked practical questions.

"Pathfinders, I hand-pick. Li Jing answered, and then looked at Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke, and said, "You two came out of the Lost Mountain, and you have also fought with each other, I don't know if you can enter the mountain again together this time?"

"Will it be considered meritorious?" Jiang Chengzi immediately asked.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and Li Shimin laughed: "Ah Zhi still can't forget the meritorious service." ”

Jiang Chengzi smiled embarrassedly and said: "This is for the country and the people, it is no problem to enter the mountain, even my grandfather and aunt will not object, but if I work, I will be paid." Otherwise, what if I am bullied by him in the future. ”

"I'm not going to bully you. Li Ke said softly.

"The world is changeable, and the streamer is easy to turn. Who knows what tomorrow will bring!" she pouted.

"You don't trust me. Li Ke's tone was very distressed.

"I believe you. I just don't believe in the world. You don't know, the human heart is the most fickle. Jiang Chengzi looked at the vicissitudes of life.

The old guy who was still slandering the two of them at the scene and didn't care about the decency of the occasion heard this, and felt quite reasonable.

Li Jing still watched coldly, and waited for the two to say a few words before asking, "Those two of them went into the mountain to explore the way with my people, okay?"

"No problem, it's just that Ah Zhi is still a girl, so don't go with her. Li Ke replied.

"I'm going. Jiang Chengzi argued.

"Well, this mountain is not a joke. I know more about plants than you do. Jiang Chengzi said proudly.

Li Ke was speechless, he was afraid that her entry into the mountain would expose her ability to others, and he anxiously asked him not to be reckless.

"This candidate for entering the mountain, please ask Li Shangshu and His Majesty to let me go. Qin Shubao, who had not spoken, suddenly stepped forward.

Everyone was shocked, even Jiang Chengzi was shocked, and couldn't help but look at him.
