Chapter 940: Troops Sent to the Wei State

Du Ruhui's meaning is obviously that he has a direct falling out with His Majesty, and there are 500,000 soldiers and horses who want to develop Taiyuan Mansion.

Li Shimin is not a tangled person, and the goal given by his advisers is either to pry into the corner of his own house first, or to start a war with other forces.

Now there are forces in the city of Youzhou, Wagang and Western Xia, who recently sent invitations.

As for the other forces, even if they are defeated, they are just some walled cities, and the greatest interest is to take over their territory and harvest their accumulated wealth, and perhaps the number of soldiers and horses can increase again in a short time.

The disadvantage is that it will become the enemy of all forces, and even if you defeat the enemy's soldiers and horses, you need food and salary to support these people.

In an era of food shortages, the more wealth you need to pay to feed so many people, and you may even fall apart because you can't pay your food.

Li Jiancheng was waiting for the spies to send back the news of Li Shimin in Chang'an, and he didn't wait for the results.

"Your Highness, King Qin has not made any moves so far, indicating that our plan has succeeded, and they should be in a dilemma at this time." Xue Wanche said.

"Haha, my second brother is like this, I hope to be perfect in everything, where can things in the world be easily accomplished, send someone to continue to pay attention to the other party's situation, and you have to prepare well for the expedition in three days."

"Yes."

Li Jiancheng already has a specific plan, and he has enough confidence in this campaign, and the day he returns will be when he is crowned prince.

In order to support Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan had already instructed the people in the military department to make full preparations, and all the money and materials were prepared.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Li Yuanji was transferred back from Shuofang to assist his eldest brother, which is a bit biased.

They all thought that Li Shimin was entangled, but the actual situation was that Li Shimin was entangled, but that was already in the past.

The two choices are always one or the other, and what Li Shimin chooses is the way to do the best for him.

"Does His Royal Highness King Qin really want to do this?" Although the eldest grandson Wuji is a hardcore supporter of Li Shimin, he doesn't care about his net worth and life.

"Is there another way to choose, and if you don't have one, why can't you use your own way?"

Li Shimin made up his mind.

In a desperate gamble, he led the troops to the expedition after pressing all his net worth for half a month.

Li Shimin did not choose to attack Taiyuan Mansion directly, in that case, it is undoubtedly to turn his back on the family, this kind of thing cannot be done, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult, and if it is done, it will be even more difficult.

The caravan of Taiyuan Mansion traveled, and the scale of this time was very large, and there were many onlookers, and it was impossible for 500,000 soldiers and horses to travel quietly.

What's more, since the news came out, various forces have sent spies to monitor, Li Shimin really dispatched, and now they want to know which target it is.

It took more than ten days to go to the top Li Shimin's goal was Wagang, the direction of the current Wei State.

Many people find it hard to believe that Li Shimin's goal will be Wei, and the comparison of soldiers and horses between the two sides and the city may not have much chance of winning.

Li Shimin's target was indeed Wagang City, and the leaders of the various forces were relieved after making such a choice.

Wei is not an ordinary force, and Li Shimin's doing such a thing is a contest between countries. 22 Literary Network

Li Shimin made such a choice because it was not appropriate to fight anyone, and only by confronting Wagang could he resolve his current embarrassing situation.

After getting the news from the various forces, Li Shimin got the information of the spies, and the actions of the various forces had all stopped, and the business of the caravan had temporarily returned to normal.

If you really start a war with various forces, the first thing to be blocked is commerce, and no money is equivalent to no material support, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the defeat rate will be very large.

Now that the various forces know that it is a contest between countries, they have all become spectators.

After Li Yuan of Chang'an learned the news, his whole heart was lifted, no matter whether Li Shimin agreed or not, this beam was settled, and he still had to carry the pot.

For Li Mi, he didn't dare to attack them, whether it was because the heirs of the Li family were vying for the throne, in his opinion, it was a provocation by the Tang State.

Li Mi has bitterness and knows that Youzhou, the only big force that has no foundation not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, has no way to ask for help.

After unilaterally terminating the employment relationship, Youzhou didn't care about it, and it would definitely not be possible for them to send someone to ask for help.

The elite of Wei was able to fight 60,000 people, and they were always responsible for guarding the city, and his 300,000 soldiers and horses were all used for construction.

Li Shimin came with his troops, and Li Mi immediately recalled his soldiers and horses.

Shan Xiongxin was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and when he saw the soldiers who had been summoned back, he had nothing to say, and the good soldiers were like black charcoal one by one.

It is not much better than those who have fled the famine, and what makes him feel reliable is that these soldiers have increased their physical endurance after long-term labor, and if they want to recover their combat effectiveness, they need to conduct a lot of training in a short period of time.

In accordance with the way of training elites, Shan Xiongxin proposed to Li Mi to provide additional meals for the soldiers, and meat should be eaten at every meal.

Li Mi could only grit his teeth and take out the money for the safety of Wei, and the increase in the food standard of 300,000 soldiers and horses directly increased the price of mutton and pork in Wei.

This is the consequence of insufficient reserves.

Li Shimin considered all the circumstances very clearly before making his choice, and one of the very important reasons for choosing to attack Wagang was to know that the Wei State was not enough.

When Li Mi ascended the throne and became emperor, the spies sent by Li Shimin made a rough accounting of the materials purchased in Wagang.

To be able to take out so much money for pomp, there must not be much money in the treasury, and he knows that Wagang's reserves are the most iron.

Iron ore is the wealth of Wagang, but now it has no effect at all, because iron ore can only be traded with various forces, and ordinary merchants and stores will not accept these things.

Another key reason is that all the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Wagang are used for mining, and it is not easy to gather combat strength in a period of time.

It was Li Shimin who seized this opportunity and decided to attack Li Mi.

The speed of 500,000 soldiers and horses has always maintained a uniform speed, and there is less time to rest and more time to hurry, which greatly saves time.

Many soldiers had already been deployed in the dense forests on the outskirts of Wei, and the first thing Li Shimin had to do was to set up barricades to cut off foreign caravans from supplying them.

The news that Wei bought a large amount of grain from Youzhou is known to everyone in the world, and this is also Li Mi's deliberate doing, that is, to tell others that Wei has a lot of grain and wants to besiege the city, so he must be prepared to be consumed to death.

Normally, no one would choose to attack such a force, someone has food and a towering wall, how to break it.

Li Shimin's plan was to try to stir up the contradictions of the merchants first, and the business would not be able to continue without the supply of goods to them, and see how the Wei Congress would do it.
