In the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, Li Yuan has already learned the battle report, and the attack on Xiashuo Fang is of great significance to his Li family, and the fall of the Yuwen family has been one less big threat in the northwest region since then.

Li Yuan was in a good mood, facing the Manchu Dynasty, the good civil and military were all smiling, following Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangling, and Taiyuan Mansion, another Shuofang City was added, giving people the feeling that the strength of the Li family had increased again.

Li Yuan was happy, taking advantage of the good news to hype up, that is, to publicize his ability, Li Jianeng's ability.

In fact, he had already learned how much he had paid to win this battle, so it can be said that he knew that the soldiers and horses under his command were the left arm, so Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's soldiers and horses were the right arms.

Now the losses are so bad, it is important to wait a long time to be able to replenish the troops, it has an impact on him, but no one will say this time.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are now in Shuofang City, and they have already let the two of them garrison for a period of time, and let them replenish their forces during this period.

The next thing to do is to see the ability of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Li Yuan wanted to conceal this matter, but Li Shimin received the news and knew that the soldiers and horses of Shuofang City had suffered heavy losses.

At the court meeting, Li Shimin advocated for his eldest brother and did not express any dissatisfaction.

Li Yuan is very relieved about this, his sons are very aware of the situation, especially the competition between the eldest and the second, as long as it is not too much, they can be accepted by him, anyway, they are all children in the eyes of their fathers.

After returning to the Qin Palace, Li Shimin's advisers had been waiting for a long time, so they could see that they had been discussing things for a long time.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the news has been confirmed, Shuofang City, Li Jiancheng's soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, and there are no more than two out of ten."

Knowing that this was an opportunity, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately suggested: "His Royal Highness King Qin, if this news leaks out, it will be beneficial to us, you can take the opportunity to manage a city like Taizu asked to recruit troops and horses to increase the strength of the Li family." ”

Li Shimin didn't want to do this, but if he really wanted to say it, he might be seen by Li Yuan, and it would not look good when he tore his face at that time, but it would affect Li Shimin's impression in Li Yuan's heart.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had already seen it, so they needed to make suggestions at this time.

"Your Highness, the matter must not be spread from our mouths." Fang Xuanling said.

"Xuan Ling is right, it's just how can we achieve our goal." Li Shimin asked.

Several people were all lost in thought, they had been thinking about it for a long time and had not come up with a solution.

Li Shimin knew that this matter must not be rushed, and what he needed now was an opportunity.

The Yuwen family is really very low-key in Shuofang, so low-key that there are no other forces to pay attention to it except for his Li family's staring.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Li family to send troops to attack Shuofang, and no news came out.

"King Qin doesn't necessarily have to expose Li Jiancheng's loss of troops and generals, he can expand the Xuanjia soldiers in the name of King Qin's mansion, which is within the authority of King Qin, even Taizu can't say anything against it." Du Ruhui said.

"This approach does not affect the possibility of trying, and perhaps it may have unexpected results." Fang Xuanling said.

"Oh?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Now Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are the generals of the army, Taizu knows very well in his heart that if the King of Qin proposes to expand the Xuanjia soldiers at this time, it will also supplement the number of soldiers and horses of the Li family and increase the strength of the Li family, and not only may not oppose it, but it is also likely to give strong support." Fang Xuanling said.

"I believe that Taizu must be able to see that expanding the Xuanjia soldiers is only good for him." Du Ruhui said.

"This method works, and in a few days, the king will go and tell his father." Android

Li Shimin thinks that this idea is very good, maybe it can really succeed, and even if it doesn't succeed, he has no loss.

If he succeeds, his troops will be expanded, and he must recruit enough troops this time.

For Li Shimin, this is an opportunity, but it is definitely not the last.

A few days later, Li Shimin went to the study to see Li Yuan and explained that he wanted to expand his troops and horses to deal with the next Li family's conquest of various forces.

Li Yuan wanted to refuse, after all, he needed money to expand the army and horses, and now the new emperor needed money everywhere when he ascended the throne.

Today, it is not like before to start a battle for the king, and now that he has become an emperor, it is time to feed back the interests of the nobles of the family.

If you want to get their support again, you need to pay a big price, Li Yuan is actually not willing to speak at this time, he is not willing to pay the corresponding benefits.

Either the debts are the uncle, Li Yuan did not intend to fulfill his previous promise to the world nobles after becoming the emperor, and those who could repay the debts would definitely not be active.

I wanted to refuse Li Shimin, but thinking about it, attacking Shuofang would be a huge loss, if he didn't replenish his troops now, if he encountered a war, he would be very insecure with the 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Chang'an under his men.

It was a very appropriate time for Li Shimin to expand his troops and horses, as for the money, he would only hand it over to the Ministry of War for accounting and provide a small part, and let Li Shimin solve the rest by himself.

Li Yuan is very confident in Li Shimin, and with the wisdom of his second son, he will definitely be able to solve these problems on his own, so he is full of confidence.

"I'm right, but now that Chang'an's money and property have been occupied, if you want to expand the army and horses, you need to solve the food and salary problem by yourself, can you agree?" Li Yuan said.

The child agreed.

Li Yuan was happy now, and he didn't even need the one he planned to let the Ministry of War provide now, so he just waited for Li Shimin to expand the troops and horses to improve the strength of the Li family.

I really like him more and more for his second son.

Li Shimin's face was very happy, but he didn't think so in his heart, after all, he needed to solve the food and salary by himself, and you must know that the money needed to recruit soldiers and horses was not ordinary.

The reason for his displeasure is because if he treats his eldest brother, he will definitely provide money and food, and he is so favoritist because his ability is too strong, and he doesn't need to worry about his elders at all.

Li Shimin did not have such an understanding, but was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's approach, but there was no way.

So he needs to seize every opportunity, and he must not stop there, and the zombie faith must change all this.

Back in the Qin Palace, his advisers had been waiting for a long time, and it could be seen that they were all in a hurry, after all, their future was tied to Li Shimin, and the higher Li Shimin's achievements, the higher their achievements.

No way, that's the way to be a strategist.

"How's things going, Your Highness?"

"Did Your Majesty agree?"

"My father has agreed to recruit soldiers and horses in the name of the Qin Palace, but the grain and grass need to be solved by himself." Li Shimin said.

When they heard this, they didn't respond immediately, and they knew that the money spent on recruiting soldiers and horses was not ordinary.

In the case of horses, the investment is an astronomical amount, and it is okay to expand some escorts, but the purpose of their expansion of soldiers and horses is not to protect the safety of King Qin's travel.

Naturally feel the difficulty.
