Against that person, he was heroic, his eyebrows were full of decisiveness and determination, and there was a unique aura all over his body.

That young man is Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin.

"Preemptive? Shimin, tell me quickly, how to preemptively? Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he flicked his hand at him.

Li Shimin walked out, stood in the middle of the hall, and said in a loud voice: "The potter thinks that his country is strong, and we can only sit and defend in the face of his attack, but we want to give him a way to go the other way." ”

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall with his hand, "So, I think we should take advantage of the Wei army's assembly to lead the army south, attack through the Yanmen Pass, take Jinyang directly, and kill the potter by surprise, and by the time he reacts, we have already taken Jinyang!" ”

As soon as the words changed, Li Shimin became more and more confident, raised his hand and pulled it on the map, and said proudly: "Jinyang is the heart of Bingzhou, as soon as Jinyang is obtained, the rule of Wei in Bingzhou will collapse, and our army will be able to take the entire Bingzhou without much effort, at that time we have the risk of Taihang, not to mention that the pottery thief has an army of 400,000, even if he has an army of millions, are we still afraid that he will not succeed!" ”

Rush to Jinyang and seize the state!

Li Yuan's figure shook suddenly, and a trace of light swept up when his eyes were neutral, as if he was instantly moved by his son's blueprint.

He stood up sharply, his fists clenched, and he was about to make a decision, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed again.

He fell into a deep silence.

In the lobby, because of Li Shimin's words, the generals suddenly exploded, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Eldest prince, your appetite is inevitably too big, don't forget that Niangzi Pass is garrisoned by Zhang He, a famous general of Wei State, and Jinyang City is also garrisoned by Wei General Fan Xu, this pass is a city that is extremely strong, even if we are a surprise attack, how can we capture it in a moment, not to mention that there are Wei Qing and 50,000 Wei troops in Bingzhou, how can we sit back and watch us calmly attack the siege of the city."

Among the generals, Shi Jingtang, the representative of the demoted general, was the first to stand up and express his opposition.

"What General Shi said is very true, although the eldest prince's plan is wonderful, but the chance of success is not great." Zhang Liao also expressed his opposition.

At this time, Li Jiancheng, who had been silent for a long time, flattened the corners of his mouth, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Second brother, I know that my brother has always been resourceful, but your plan this time is really too whimsical, let's take this risk to do something, ask the Khan for help as soon as possible, and wait for my main force to be assembled, and then fight with the potter." ”

"Doing that would only put us in a passive defensive situation and miss the opportunity to take the initiative." Li Shimin immediately retorted.

"What's so bad about being passive?" Li Jiancheng said disapprerovingly, "It will be safe to be passive, and it will be safe to take risks like that, although it is active, it may cause a catastrophe, the Khan named his father as the king of the Southern Courtyard, and was in charge of the military and political affairs south of the Great Wall, and his father's responsibility is only to defend the land of the Southern Courtyard, so what good is it for the father to take the initiative to attack." ”

Li Shimin's eyes froze, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "Big brother, you have to be far-sighted, how can you only care about the immediate benefits." ”

"What? What did you say? Are you making fun of my short-sightedness? Li Jiancheng's face immediately sank.

In the lobby, seeing the two brothers of the Li family, they were about to argue.

Li Yuan saw that the signs were wrong, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, you two brothers don't have to argue anymore, what do you want, you still need to think about it." ”

As soon as Li Yuan spoke, the two brothers couldn't quarrel anymore, so they had to keep their mouths shut and retreat.

The rest of the ministers also retired, and in a few moments, none of the ministers in the hall left.

Just when Li Yuan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of footsteps sounded again, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Shimin who had gone and returned.

"Shimin, this king knew that you would return." Li Yuan beckoned and motioned for Li Shimin to come closer, his attitude was a little less majestic than when he was discussing in the hall before, but a little more of the father's kindness.

Li Shimin stepped forward, arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Father, about the previous military discussion, I have a few psychological words I want to say to my father. ”

Li Yuan understood what he meant, so he waved his hand and ordered the idle people on the left and right to retreat, and in the lobby, only his father and son remained.

Li Yuan said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, there is nothing to hide between you and my father and son, you have something to say." ”

Li Shimin took a breath, and suddenly asked solemnly: "Father, my son just wants to ask, with my father's ambition, is he really willing to surrender to Nayelu Abaoji and take care of his family and care for him?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan's face changed immediately, and he glared at him anxiously and scolded: "Shimin! How can you say such a big rebellion! ”

"It was my father who said that there was nothing to hide between my father and me, so my son spoke from his heart." Li Shimin was fearless and said frankly.

"You-"

Li Yuan wanted to teach him a lesson, but the words came to his lips, but he still swallowed it, only flicked his sleeves, and sighed: "The Khan and his father are righteous brothers, he treats his father well, he is named the king of the Southern Courtyard by his father, and he is entrusted with military and political affairs south of the Great Wall, how can his father live up to the Khan's favor and trust." ”

"Trust?" Li Shimin sneered, "If Yelu Abaoji really trusts his father, why did he personally appoint Yelu Xian as the Taishou of Yunzhong, and firmly control Yunzhong County, the throat county, in his own hands, he obviously does not trust his father, and he wants to send Yelu Xianzhen to monitor and clamp down on his father." ”

Li Yuan frowned, as if the thorn in his heart had been touched by his son.

Li Yuan, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was nominally in charge of the six counties of Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen and Dai, as for the rest of the counties in the north of Youzhou such as Yuyang and Shanggu, they were not the core areas south of the Great Wall of Liao.

These six counties are distributed in the northern part of Bingzhou in a belt, and Yunzhong County is located exactly between several counties.

The Taishou of Yunzhong County is the Xianbei general Yelu Xuan.

Yelu Abaoji's arrangement means that Li Yuan can only take care of the home and the courtyard for him, if he has different intentions, Yelu Xianzhi can easily cut Li Yuan's territory in two by virtue of a county in the clouds.

This means that if Li Yuan is a snake, the seven inches of land will always be tightly held in his hand by Yelu Abaoji.

"Let's talk about kindness." Li Shimin's tone became indignant again, "I think that Yelu Abaoji and Murong Trai competed for the position of Xianbei Da Shan Yu, and the northern counties were originally in the hands of Murong Chui, if it weren't for the fact that my father relied on the prestige of our Li family in the north to turn against Murong Chui, how could he Yelu Abaoji take the position of Da Shan Yu, let alone become the emperor of the Great Liao State today." ”

Swallowing a breath of evil, Li Shimin continued: "In order to take advantage of his father, Abaoji took the initiative to become brothers with his father, and he also swore a promise that when he sat firmly in the position of Da Danyu, he would support his father and you to annex the northern counties and establish yourself as the emperor!" But now, he is good, he became the Khan of Daliao, but he forgot his original promise, not only can his father not be on an equal footing with him, but he has become his courtier, taking care of his family and the courtyard for him, is this his kindness to his father? ”

The more Li Yuan listened, the more angry he became, and the resentment that had accumulated in his chest for many years was ignited by Li Shimin's words.

Syllable!

He slapped the case a few times and said angrily: "Yelu Abaoji, if it wasn't for the help of this king, he would not have the prestige he has today, but he didn't believe his words, and let this king be his lackey to take care of the house, and this king has put up with him for a long time!" ”

Seeing that Li Yuan was finally aroused, the corners of Li Minshi's mouth quietly hooked into a relieved smile.

"But ......"

Li Yuan's anger came and went quickly, and he became worried again in a blink of an eye, "Right now, there are Yelu in Yunzhong County, Shi Jingtang, Zhang Liao, these generals of the Han Kingdom, and they may not be dead set on their father, and they have the name of the king of the Southern Courtyard for their father, but they do not have the reality of the king of the Southern Courtyard, even if they have other thoughts in their hearts, they are more than enough and not enough." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuan shook his head and sighed again, looking lonely.

"This is the real reason why my son proposed to my father that he must strike first!" Li Shimin's heroic face showed a hint of smugness.

Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Shimin, what do you mean, you might as well speak up." ”

Li Shimin no longer beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "The reason why my father didn't dare to turn his face with Yelu Abaoji was nothing more than that the territory was not big enough and the strength was not strong enough. ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Li Shishi sneered: "At that time, my father will have enough strength to turn his face with Yelu Abaoji, and become a self-reliant hero, and when he relies on the danger of merging states, his father can calmly maneuver between Wei and Liao, whether it is a potter or Yelu Abaoji, we will have no choice, when the world changes, my father will lead the army to kill Taihang Mountain, why not achieve a shocking cause!" ”

As soon as the words "earth-shattering greatness" came out, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
