Chapter 102: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty
Li Shimin asked Chen Zhengtai, which made Fang Xuanling and the others look slightly unnatural.
After all...... This is a real military event, Chen Zhengtai is certainly a little clever in their eyes, but after all, he is too young.
Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Li Jingren, etc., after all, they have been tempered for a long time, no matter what position they hold, at least they have convincing reasons.
Chen Zhengtai said at this time: "Teacher, the student thinks ...... Troops should be sent. β
When his words fell, no one said a word, even the lords of the main battle, they didn't look like they were dewy.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
The reason why he asked Chen Zhengtai was because he wanted to test this disciple.
He knew that Chen Zhengtai was very young.
Because of his youth, Li Shimin hopes to see his calm side.
Although Li Shimin was eager to give the Turks a head-on blow deep down, he also knew the difficulties involved.
And Chen Zhengtai was stunned, and he hit him when he opened his mouth, which made Chen Zhengtai a little unstable.
"Oh, why?" Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai lightly.
Chen Zhengtai said with a serious face: "The students think that the Turks dare to commit crimes, at this time they came from afar, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks are bound to be arrogant, and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, one of them; They invaded Xiazhou, Xiazhou is only one step away from Guanzhong, if the Tang army can lead an elite army, take advantage of its arrogance, with lightning speed, and fight viciously, so ...... You will be able to get the results, this is the second thing. β
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and his heart couldn't help but be touched, this guy ...... It coincides with my own thoughts.
I saw that Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "As long as the blow is given, as far as the students know, there is no harmony between the Turkic tribes. The fundamental reason why they can unite to invade our Datang border is that all of them can loot goods from my Datang. And once they could not plunder and suffered losses, the Turkic tribes were bound to turn away from Germany, and the time would ...... As long as you look from the wall, the Turks may not be able to have civil strife, and at that time, I Datang will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. β
Li Shimin's face moved slightly, and then he and Li Jing glanced at each other.
Over the years, Li Jing has been studying the methods of warfare against the Turks, and he has already made the weakness of the Turks clear.
In fact, over the years, the Tang Dynasty has been showing weakness to the Turks, which is also the secret arrangement of Li Shimin, Li Jing and others, they have not moved, and in every friction with the Turks, they have taken a request for peace, which has made the Turks pay less and less attention to the Tang Dynasty.
According to the spying in the border towns, the Turks invaded the border, from a few years ago, they became more and more unscrupulous, and later, when the Turks thought that the Tang Dynasty no longer dared to confront the Turkic iron cavalry, they even had the audacity to go deep alone, and even ...... Leaving no rear troops and sending two wings of cavalry to defend the central army.
This shows that Li Shimin and Li Jing's show of weakness has achieved great results, and the poor Turks think that the Tang army is vulnerable, and the Tang Emperor is frightened when he hears the Turks, so he is becoming more and more intensified and more and more unscrupulous, in fact, ...... has gradually become a chess piece in Li Shimin's chess game, and gradually began to fall into the trap carefully arranged by Li Shimin.
And now, Chen Zhengtai actually pointed out this problem all at once, but it was ...... It is absolutely impossible for this guy to know the plan formulated by Li Shimin and Li Jing, this military plan is extremely grandiose and took several years, Fang Xuanling and others obviously expected it, but Chen Zhengtai hit the key point at once.
As for the understanding of the Turkic tribes, Li Shimin and Li Jing also had in-depth espionage and analysis.
After all, for Li Shimin, Turkism is a great danger to his henchmen, and he is a famous general in the world, so he naturally knows the truth that he knows his own and the other.
The Turkic tribes, which were already loosely united, were united under the Jieli Khan. But they are essentially a group of robbers who sit on the ground and share the spoils, and once the various bandit gangs lose the ability to plunder, they will inevitably breed internal strife.
Chen Zhengtai also foresaw this.
It was only now that Li Jing had the mind to take a serious look at Chen Zhengtailai, he had actually been disapproving of His Majesty's disciple, but now he found out that this kid was ...... Serious.
Li Shimin showed a knowing smile, and couldn't help but glance at Li Jing a little proudly.
As if to say, how is it, how is this disciple of me?
Li Shimin continued to ask: "So, how can you fight the Turks? β
"General Li Jing is good at cavalry, as long as he takes advantage of the Turks' lack of defense, gathers in Xiazhou, leads a fine cavalry, and directly captures the Chinese army of Jieli Khan Khan, then the battle will be won!" Chen Zhengtai answered categorically.
After a pause, he continued: "The elite cavalry launched a surprise attack, which must have been unexpectedly by the Turks, they think that there has been a catastrophe in our Tang Dynasty, and they will not easily make a big move, this is called attacking it unprepared." And only attacking the Chinese army of Jieli Khan is to weaken the power of Jieli Khan's own army, once his strength is weakened, coupled with the futility of this plunder, Jieli Khan does not have enough strength to control the Turkic tribes, according to the students' expectations, at that time, there will inevitably be infighting, and at that time...... There will also be Turkic people who ask for attachment and seek the power of our Tang Dynasty to consolidate the position of the headquarters. So...... The students thought that if General Li Jing had 30,000 elite horsemen, the Turks would be nothing more than a chicken and a dog, and they would be broken. β
When these words came out, Li Jing's face had suddenly changed color.
This is simply the same way as the plan carefully arranged by himself and His Majesty!
Li Shimin also took a deep breath, his body even trembled slightly with excitement, and said happily: "This is very good, this is the word of seeking the country." β
Chen Zhengtai showed a modest look and said with a smile: "This is just a student's speculation, and it is not true." β
"Chint, these ...... Did you come up with it yourself? Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai and was very surprised!
How could he not be amazed that his plan was so exquisitely laid out that it was seen through at a glance. You must know that in this world, there will never be more than ten people who know about this plan, and these ten people are all henchmen around Li Shimin, and it is impossible for them to leak the secret of heaven.
Chen Zhengtai rolled his eyes, coughed and said, "This ...... This...... In fact...... This was researched by the students and the prince. β
Prince......
Li Shimin was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but stare at Li Chengqian.
The eyes of Li Jing and others also fell on Li Chengqian.
Of course, they all had great expectations for the crown prince, but they never expected ......
At this time, Chen Zhengtai seemed to hear a pleasant voice.
Bite...... Prince Li Chengqian's reputation +5
Li Shimin's favorability towards Li Chengqian is +1
Li Jing's favorability towards Li Chengqian is +3
Thinking of this, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be happy, and he couldn't help but be cold.
Li Chengqian stood aside, but he looked confused!
This...... What happened, what happened? I was still thinking about the flying ball and gunpowder just now, why did everyone suddenly look at Lonely?
It's just that Chen Zhengtai's last sentence, he listened to it, but he was still clever and cautious: "Yes, Erchen did have a study with Chen Zhengtai." β
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian with tiger eyes, suddenly laughed, and said, "Haha, the tiger father has no dogs." β
The rest of the people also smiled with relief.
Chen Zhengtai's explanation is very reasonable.
After all, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and he has some understanding of the Turkic situation, and Chen Zhengtai is an extremely smart person.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "As Chen Zhengtai said, this God-given opportunity to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, that is, today." β
Fang Xuanling and others began to be silent, Chen Zhengtai's plan is acceptable, although the imperial court is now in difficulty, but after all, it is not a labor force, in the past, for foreign wars, hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized, just like Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, using countless manpower and material resources.
And now it is just a surprise attack, using 30,000 elite iron cavalry, and what is sought is a quick battle, at this time the finances of the imperial court are acceptable.
At this time......
Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something and said, "Father, actually...... There is also a way to solve the problem more effectively. β
Originally, Li Shimin was ready to make an order, but who would have thought that Li Chengqian, a simple man, suddenly jumped out!
However, he had expectations for Li Chengqian, and he was not annoyed, and asked very gently: "What other plans does the prince have?" β
Li Chengqian glanced at Chen Zhengtai before he said: "As the senior brother said, the essence of this quick battle is to take advantage of his unpreparedness to capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the people of Jieli Khan's headquarters are weakened, this battle will be won." In this case, why don't you simply get rid of Jieli Khan? Erchen and Senior Brother have recently researched something that can explode like thunder. Not only that, the senior brother and his sons have researched a thing, called the flying ball, which can make people ascend to heaven, if we use this flying ball to appear in the sky above the big tent of the headquarters of Jieli Khan, and drop a large amount of gunpowder, so ...... Jieli Khan will surely die......"
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin, who was originally overjoyed, suddenly became wonderful.
Thunder ...... Flying......
I'm still a son of heaven, what strange things are you talking about?
The smile on Li Jing's face also stiffened, and they all looked at each other, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to be normal, but why did he feel a little nervous disorder recently?
Li Shimin only needs to look at the expressions of Li Jing and the others, and he knows what everyone is thinking about the prince, and his heart is suddenly depressed, and he can't wait for a mouthful of old blood to spurt out!
So he lowered his face and said lightly: "Well, the prince, Zhengtai, you should step back first." β
"Father, son-in-law thinks that this is the simplest and most effective ......" Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's dislike, but he was unwilling!
He was in Erpigou, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he had been listening to Fang Xuanling and others complaining about the lack of treasury, and listening to the surprise attack, feeling that this was almost the lowest-cost method, even if it was unsuccessful, it was completely possible to give it a try. β
Chen Zhengtai felt a little tragic, this guy was a little naΓ―ve, not to mention whether this plan could succeed, even if there was a possibility of realization, you specially told people to send people to heaven, and told people to send thunder to the sky......
Your uncle, aren't you afraid that someone will be tied to the stake and roasted you?
Oh, fortunately, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is not like this, of course, you are the crown prince, and you will not even die if you rebel in history, you are powerful.
Li Shimin felt that his face was gloomy, and at this time he only felt that his son was slapping his face in front of the ministers, and his face became more and more unsightly, and he scolded: "I order you to step down." β
"Yes." Li Chengqian suddenly looked like a deflated ball, this time he was honest, and he and Chen Zhengtai obediently withdrew from the palace.
As soon as Li Chengqian left the hall, he couldn't help but say: "How can this really be true, my father and emperor...... It's too self-serving. β
Chen Zhengtai glanced at the side, and immediately said, "Senior brother, be cautious, let's go, we can talk about something else!" β
So the two of them walked along.
But outside this hall, there was actually an eight or nine-year-old child standing, he was also wearing a python robe, and his body was full of shrewd energy, and he was young, showing a precocious maturity different from his peers.
As soon as the child saw Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai, he stepped forward step by step, saw Li Chengqian with a cane, and saluted: "I've seen the emperor's brother." β
Immediately, his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai's body, and he seemed to be in high spirits all of a sudden, and saluted Chen Zhengtai again: "I've seen senior brother, I've heard of senior brother's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really happy, senior brother has entered the palace, why don't you stay for a while, I have some Qiong Yao wine here......"
This son is Li Tai, the fourth son of Li Shimin, who was born to the eldest grandson empress, and Li Chengqian is the brother of the same mother.
Li Chengqian said: "No need, we still have something to do, and we will go to Erpigou to study the flying ball later." β
"Flying balls, flying balls?" Li Tai was amused when he heard it.
"What, you want to laugh at Lonely?" Li Chengqian was a little annoyed.
Li Tai hurriedly shook his head: "I...... I ......"
Li Chengqian said, "What are you doing here?" β
Li Taidao: "My father heard that I was able to memorize the "Book of Shang" backwards, so he specially ordered me to wait here, and when my father finished meeting the minister, he would let me enter the palace to recite it." β
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but praise: "Senior brother Li Tai is so young, he can actually memorize the "Shangshu" and wait for the melons to be ripe, oops, it's really amazing." β
"Where, I heard that my senior brother is only eight years old, and I wanted to ask for advice, so I might as well make an appointment and I'll visit."
"This ......"
Before Chen Zhengtai agreed, Li Chengqian had already grabbed him, and said with an unkind face: "We have serious business." β
Chen Zhengtai felt that he had missed out on a new nobleman, and when he looked back at Li Tai who was smiling and groaning, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
When Li Chengqian pulled Chen Zhengtai away, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Zhengtai, which side are you on?" β
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said: "In the past, the Chen family stood on whichever side of the spicy chicken, but now I am in charge, I am different from my ancestors, who I am powerful, I will stand on whichever side." β
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth angrily: "Didn't you find that this kid Li Tai was provoking me, he deliberately showed off that he had won the favor of his father, you bastard, and hooked up with him, what do you want to do to be unseemly?" β
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
This description is also absolutely absolute, Chen Zhengtai feels very wronged!
Li Chengqian frowned and said: "Mr. Gu feels that his father loves Li Tai more, and this Li Tai likes to recite the Four Books and Five Classics the most to please his father." But in Lone's view, what is the use of these four books and five classics? The father is really blind, thinking about it, the flying ball that he proposed to his father to break the enemy, the father must have misunderstood, in his heart, he felt that he was alone, and when Li Tai that kid didn't know what to say in front of his father, hey...... You have to think of a way. β
"I can't help it." Chen Zhengtai was very realistic, but seeing Li Chengqian's aggrieved look, he also relented, and subconsciously said: "Of course, unless...... Let people see what we are really capable of. β
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up suddenly: "You mean, we can try it ourselves?" β
Chen Zhengtai smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "It's not impossible, it's just ......"
Before Chen Zhengtai could finish speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted: "Where are there so many things, you like to look ahead and look backward when you do things, you don't know what it means to be decisive in killing, so hesitant, what big things can be achieved." β
Regarding this point, Chen Zhengtai disagrees very much, your uncle, when it comes to 'brave', my great-grandfather, grandfather, and my father are very 'brave', didn't they follow Emperor Zhou Jing, Emperor Yang of Sui, Wang Shichong, and Li Jiancheng with an iron heart? The head is so iron, what will happen in the end?
"Let's go, let's go to Erpigou, we have to think of a foolproof plan."
Chen Zhengtai was dragged forward by Li Chengqian, and suddenly had the feeling of being pulled into the water and on the thief ship.
Myself...... I won't repeat the mistakes of our ancestors and ancestors.
It's sour to think about.
Li Chengqian's mood at the moment is extremely resentful.
On the one hand, his father's disappointment in him made him want to give his father a little 'power'.
On the other hand, it was Li Tai who gave him a strong sense of crisis.
He has been pretentious since he was a child, and he feels that he was born a prince and is bound to become an emperor in the future.
But the older I get, the more I feel that many things are different from what I imagined.
When he arrived at Erpigou, he took the textbook and looked for a way to fly the ball to the sky with Chen Zhengtai again and again.
Principle...... It's actually quite simple.
However, if you want to implement the simple principle, you will always encounter many problems.
At this time, Erpigou has collected a lot of materials, trial production again and again, and slowly ...... The prototype of a flying ball has finally appeared.
When he saw a flying ball more than a foot high flying into the sky, Li Chengqian was as happy as a child, in fact...... He was a child himself, but at this time, he regained his child's nature.
The ball eventually floated into the sky, slowly getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared without a trace.
"You can really go to heaven, but ...... How to control it, and ...... It's too small, and the main palace wants to build a larger, preferably one that can carry thousands of catties of gunpowder......"
Thousands of pounds...... Gunpowder......
Giant gunpowder power enhancement and enhancement version?
For Li Chengqian's ambition, Chen Zhengtai sincerely admires!
The Tang Dynasty is really still beautiful with big.
The ancients did not deceive me.
