Chapter 60: Shaded
When it comes to the history of China, the Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that cannot be ignored.
When it comes to the Tang Dynasty, in addition to emperors such as Li Shimin and Li Longji, famous ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji must also be an existence that cannot be ignored.
Regardless of whether the eldest grandson Wuji can be in a high position, whether he is stained with his sister's light or not, at least his ability and means are absolutely first-class.
In the long history, there are many descendants, but there are still very few characters like the eldest grandson Wuji.
He proposed that the imperial court send a prince to Liangzhou to sit in the town, which can be said to have really solved the problems faced by Liangzhou City.
The most important thing is that Li Kuan's fief is Liangzhou, and it stands to reason that the prince will stay in the fief when he becomes an adult, and now he takes this opportunity to kick Li Kuan to Liangzhou, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Even if Li Shimin knew that the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Kuan were not very good at dealing with each other, it was difficult to say anything.
As for Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, the eldest grandson Wuji's suggestion also expressed support for them, and naturally he would not oppose it.
And since the imperial court adopted a policy of appeasement, the opinions of the generals became less important.
"Okay! Let the King of Chu go to Liangzhou and set off in half a month! ”
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Shimin made a decisive choice.
……
"Lord Wang! We...... Are we really going to Liangzhou? ”
In the palace of the king of Chu, the eunuch who had just sent off the decree, a group of people gathered around Li Kuan, looking at each other.
This decree came a little suddenly!
Fortunately, there is still half a month left for everyone to prepare.
"Qing'er, what's the matter? Liangzhou is not a tiger's den in Longtan, what is there to be afraid of? ”
Although Li Kuan felt that this holy decree was a bit strange, he didn't feel worried at all.
On the contrary, I thought it would be good to take this opportunity to take a look outside of Chang'an City.
The rivers and mountains are so good, I haven't even taken a good look at them.
"Lord, from the point of view of the will, it should still be very troublesome for the Western Turks to invade Liangzhou this time, and it can even be said that the imperial court has no effective way to deal with it at present, so he sent the prince to Liangzhou City to sit in the town. According to the subordinates, this errand may not be so easy. ”
Wang Xuance began to quickly analyze the motive behind the holy decree, but due to insufficient information, he could only give a rough idea.
"Lord, there's nothing difficult for me to say. Isn't it that the Western Turks are making trouble in Liangzhou, and we will destroy them. "Wang Xuanwu is a master of martial arts, and he feels that he is good enough, and he does not take the Western Turks in his eyes.
"Xuanwu, the fight of thousands of people on the battlefield is completely different from the fight of a few people. Although the imperial court allowed the prince to bring a thousand palace guards to accompany him, it did not arrange any other soldiers and horses to support Liangzhou. If we can really wipe out the Western Turks, where will we be used? ”
Xue Li had read the art of war, and his understanding of war was obviously much higher than that of Wang Xuanwu.
"Xuanwu is right, the Western Turks are making trouble, let's just go and destroy them!" Li Kuan's answer startled Wang Xuance and Xue Li.
After Wang Xuance glared at Wang Xuanwu fiercely, "Lord Wang...... the Western Turks are all elites this time, although the number is not large, but they should be the essence of the Western Turks, and it is difficult to destroy them without a large army to encircle and suppress them." ”
"Yes, my lord. I heard that all the defenders of Liangzhou Mansion add up to less than 30,000, and there is more than enough to defend the city, and it is not enough to go out of the city to fight. Xue Li hurriedly accosted him, for fear that Li Kuan's brain would be hot, and after arriving in Liangzhou, he would go out of the city to fight the Western Turks.
"That's right, Lord Wang, although your fiefdom is in Liangzhou, but we have never been to Liangzhou, we are not familiar with the place, and Your Majesty did not let you go to destroy the Western Turks, we will slowly pass by then, and stay in Liangzhou City for a few more days, it will almost be winter, and the Western Turks will retreat." Qing'er was also worried.
"Forget it, I don't understand what I told you." Li Kuan couldn't explain to them now that he could defeat the Western Turks by relying only on a thousand or so guards, after all, he had to think about the specific plan himself.
Judging from the tactics adopted by the Western Turks this time, it is obvious that they are somewhat similar to the essence of guerrilla warfare in later generations.
The so-called enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance.
Anyway, where the Liangzhou guards are, the Western Turks will not go anywhere.
Nuoda is a Liangzhou, and there are always weak points.
"Lord Wang, if you really have the heart to retreat from the enemy, then it is best to go to the palace and ask Your Majesty more soldiers and horses before you leave." Xue Li obviously saw that Li Kuan didn't listen to his opinions, and when the time came, Li Kuan had to go out of the city, and it was really ......
"Your Majesty has asked to leave in half a month, and our time is already tight. Next, you prepare the items according to my arrangement. Li Kuan didn't want to explain to everyone anymore, so he directly began to arrange work.
……
Five and Ju.
"Brother eldest grandson, I heard that the imperial court asked the king of Chu to return to the fiefdom of Liangzhou?" Du He looked curious and confirmed the news he had just received with Changsun Chong.
In the past few days, if you want to say who is in the limelight in Chang'an City, there is no one more than Li Kuan.
Several classic poems spread all over the streets and alleys in an instant, whether it was the Qinglou Inn or the Xungui backyard, there were people everywhere singing his poems.
It's no wonder that his "charisma value" continues to rise, and he directly achieves the task.
"Hehe, isn't he proud, then let him go to the Great Northwest to be proud, and see if he can defeat the Western Turks with his poems."
When the eldest grandson Wuji returned home that day, he told the eldest grandson Chong the news that Li Kuan was going to Liangzhou, and Du He asked him, and he was really right.
"This man is the most forgetful! If Li Kuan stays in Liangzhou for a few years, even if he is famous now, no one will remember him at that time. Besides, in a place like Liangzhou, literati are simply rare objects, and it is difficult for him to find a few people to communicate and learn. The so-called learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. In a few years, let's see who else he can win! ”
"In a few years? Brother Du! That would have to give him a few years to live. Changsun Chong took a breath and showed a fierce expression, "Now that the Western Turks of Liangzhou are wanton, maybe the city will be breached one day." ”
"Huh? And such things? Heaven has eyes! When Du He heard this, his heart was inexplicably happy.
"Forget it, a quasi-dead man, we don't have to talk about him anymore."
In Chang'an City, the news that Li Kuan was going to Liangzhou soon became a household name under the propaganda of well-intentioned people.
In Changsun Chong's opinion, even if Li Kuan doesn't want to go, it's difficult to ride a tiger, right?
After all, the people of the entire Chang'an City knew that he was going to Liangzhou, and if he died in Chang'an, his reputation would be completely ruined at that time, and Li Shimin would not let him go.
