After the early dynasty, the hundred officials withdrew from the Taiji Palace.

Li Zexuan and other core ministers came to the Ganlu Hall to discuss with Li Er about sending troops to attack Liang Shidu.

After all, when it comes to specific operational deployments, if it is directly made public in the court, what if someone accidentally leaks it out?

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, generally this kind of "meeting" involving specific military deployment, Li Er will only convene his confidants and courtiers to participate, which can not only ensure that the plan is not leaked, but also improve the efficiency of the discussion!

"Since you have decided to attack Liang Shidu, how do you think Aiqing should fight?"

Inside the Temple of Manna.

Li Er looked at these henchmen in the hall and asked out loud.

As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, during the Wude period, Liang Shi invaded my Tang Dynasty many times, all of which were defeated by our army, and many of his subordinates have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the Eighteen Road Anti-Kings of the Year have all been destroyed, and now, Liang Shi is external, unable to join forces with the Anti-King, and his strength is weak; Internally, the Turks have political problems and it is difficult to get out, so the minister thinks that the current Liang division is no longer enough, it is better to send someone to surrender to him first, if he refuses, we will not be too late to send troops again~! ”

Xiao Yu nodded and echoed: "What Zhao Guogong said is extremely true, now that the Liang division is exhausted, he can't make any waves, if he can take it down without spending a single soldier, it should be the best!" ”

Li Er nodded, but did not speak.

Li Ji said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is a little inappropriate!" On top of the court, according to Yong'an Hou's plan, the best result is to force Liang Shidu to ask Jieli for help and induce Jieli to break the covenant of the year! If, as Zhao Guogong said, he sent an envoy to Shuofang to persuade Liang Shidu to surrender, in case that villain really surrendered, wouldn't it make Jieli have no time to react at all? ”

Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "General Li is right, but this is only one of them, the most important thing is that Liang Shidu is a fierce person, since the Sui Dynasty, Yuxian divided, the small rat steals the dog and steals, the big whale swallows the tiger, the back is the Eastern Turk, and I have been against the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, if he really has the heart to surrender, he will not wait until now!" Therefore, sending an envoy to persuade him to surrender is a waste of time and a waste of words! ”

Li Er nodded, and suddenly noticed Li Zexuan, who was bowing his head to "count ants", his heart moved, and asked: "Yong'an Hou, this plan was proposed by you, what do you think about attacking Liang Shidu?" ”

Li Zexuan couldn't help but say a word in his heart, the big guys on both sides of the heart are arguing so fiercely, what are you calling the master at this time? What do you want me to say? Agreeing with one side is bound to cause the other side to be unhappy!

Spit and complain, but since Li Er named him, Li Zexuan had no choice but to say:

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have no high opinions, only foolish opinions, in the opinion of the ministers, Zhao Guogong and General Li and Du Xianggong do not conflict with their opinions! We can take the army to persuade the surrender, before the army besieges the city, send an envoy into the city to persuade the surrender, of course, Du Xianggong also said, with the temperament of the Liang division, it will definitely not surrender, at that time, as soon as the envoy comes out, the army will directly surround Shuofang, forcing the Liang division to go to ask for help, this is called the first salute and then the soldiers! ”

In this way, neither side will be offended!

Li Zexuan silently added in his heart.

In the court, only the old oilman who does not offend people can live longer!

After being an official for such a long time, Li Zexuan felt that his emotional intelligence seemed to have become higher.

"Good! What a salute before a soldier! But according to the old man, this might as well be called murder, right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Hey! This is good! If you treat Liang Shidu's old bastard, you should kill people and punish your heart! ”

Cheng Yanjin also smiled and agreed.

Li Er nodded, and finally spoke: "Okay!" Just do what Yong'an Hou said! Order, Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun led 50,000 right guards, and coordinated with 30,000 Xiazhou soldiers to jointly besiege Liang Shidu, and be sure to take Shuofang! I will send two officials of Taichang Temple to go out with the army, and before the army besieges the city, let them enter the city to surrender, and after they return in vain, then wave their troops to attack~! ”

Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun took a step forward, hugged their fists and said, "The minister's order!" ”

These two people are macho men!

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Chai Shao fought many battles with the Eastern Turks and Tuyuhun, and fought beautifully. In the first year of Zhenguan, Chai Shao, who had repeatedly made military exploits, was already the general of the right guard. And this guy also married Li Yuan's daughter Princess Pingyang, who can also be regarded as Li Er's brother-in-law!

Now that Lao Li is hanging Chai Shao as a general, it is very likely that he wants to add some military merits to his brother-in-law, after all, the battle to exterminate Liang Shidu is a war with a relatively small "difficulty coefficient"!

Xue Wanjun is Xue Wanche's elder brother, the brothers were very used under Luo Yi back then, and they gave Dou Jiande a lot of problems, and later he was shaved by Liu Heikuo, but that can only be blamed for Li Shentong being too incompetent.

Seeing that Li Er assigned Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun, Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde suddenly became anxious, and Lao Cheng immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister also asks for war!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde was not to be left behind, and also hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister also invites to fight!" Last time, the old minister missed the battle of Guancheng, and this time the old minister can't miss it no matter what! ”

Li Er thought for a while, and finally nodded: "That's good, Ling Jingde is the general of the Liang Dynasty, Chai Shao is the general of the left road, and Xue Wanjun is the general of the right road. ”

Wei Chi Jingde was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun inexplicably had one more boss, but Wei Chi Jingde's qualifications were there, and they didn't have much to say, so they could only bow down and say, "The ministers obey the order!" ”

It's just that in this way, Cheng Biting Jin was completely unhappy, and Lao Cheng said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, there are still old ministers!" ”

Li Er said angrily: "Master Liang is exhausted, there are Jingde, Chai Shao, and Xue Wanjun are enough, and they use a knife to kill chickens?" Could it be that you still want me to send all the generals of the Tang Dynasty? Retire! ”

To tell the truth, the current Li Er really didn't take Liang Shi in his eyes, according to his original idea, he only wanted to send Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun to the two generals, and adding a lieutenant Chi Jingde later was already the limit, if Cheng Yanjin was added again, then Lao Li could only say to Liang Shidu, "You are not worthy"!

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, didn't dare to resist, and retreated in a muffled voice.

Li Er continued: "The household department quickly mobilized the army's grain and grass, and the Ministry of Industry needs to prepare weapons and armor for the army, Xiao Aiqing and Yan Aiqing, you have worked hard in the past two days~!" ”

Xiao Yu and Yan Lide hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious, this is the duty of the ministers and others~!" ”

Li Er nodded and said, "In that case, then all Aiqing will go back and prepare immediately~!" ”

Everyone bowed down and said, "The ministers are retiring~!" ”

"Yong'an Hou, you stay~!"

Lao Li suddenly added, so that Li Zexuan, who had already stepped out of his feet, had no choice but to retract his feet.

“... Be! Your Majesty~! ”

Cheng Yanjin patted Li Zexuan's shoulder, then cast a sympathetic look and left in front of Li Zexuan.

"You kid, do you know why I left you alone?"

After all the important ministers left, Li Er stood up, walked to the bottom of the hall, looked at Li Zexuan and asked with a smile.

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, doesn't you want to let the ministers send students to carry telegraphs, fairy lamps, and binoculars to accompany the army on the expedition, just like the last time you attacked Guancheng?" ”

Li Er shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Liang Shidu is just a grasshopper after autumn, why use an artifact to kill him? Besides, telegraphs, fairy lamps, telescopes, etc., I don't want the Turks to know about them so early, and when the decisive battle comes in the future, it's not bad to surprise Jieli~! ”

Li Zexuan instantly understood, daring to love Lao Li This is looking down on Liang Shidu, and he also wants to give Jie Lizang a killer move!

"What's the point of leaving a micro-minister in the saint?"

Li Zexuan really couldn't guess, so he asked.

Li Er stared into his eyes and said, "I ask you, how much iron can you smelt in a day in your ironworks?" And the steel mill, how much steel can be made in a day~? ”

Li Zexuan's heart moved, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Chenna ironworks, if they are in full production, they can probably smelt more than 2,000 catties of iron a day, and as for the steelworks, they can also smelt more than 2,000 catties of steel every day~!" ”

In other words, his output of 2,000 catties a day is actually not high, only a few hundred tons a year! You must know that according to the original history, the annual output of steel in the middle of the Tang Dynasty could reach 5,000 tons, and the Song Dynasty was even more ruthless, with an annual output of more than 70,000 tons of steel, so his annual output of a few hundred tons was not high, and the main reason was that the scale of the ironworks and steelworks was somewhat small!

But then again, he is already the highest-output ironmaking and steelmaking plant in Datang!

"Two thousand catties per day?"

Li Er's face was slightly moved, and he sighed lightly, and he said to Li Zexuan: "You must have seen the situation in the court today, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is not far away!" Don't look at the judgment of the Turkic country now, but its strength is still not enough to underestimate! It is said that Jieli has millions of people who control the strings, the Turks up and down, all the people are soldiers, and they live in the grassland all the year round, most of them are brave and good at fighting!

Therefore, this war with the Turks is definitely not easy to fight! Before the war, I planned to transfer the elite soldiers of the hundred cavalry to expand the Xuanjia Army, and update a batch of armor equipment for the Xuanjia Army. ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he didn't hesitate, so he bowed down and said, "The minister is duty~!" ”

Seeing that Li Zexuan agreed so simply, Li Er was quite surprised and said, "Heh! Your kid has always been the master who can't walk without benefits, and I haven't promised you any benefits today, why did you just agree so simply? ”

Li Zexuan said with a straight face: "Your Majesty is laughing!" At present, the great enemy of the country, don't say that let the minister dedicate some steel, as long as he can slaughter foreign enemies, even if he lets the minister sacrifice all his wealth, the minister is willing! Although the minister is a little stubborn on weekdays, he can still distinguish between right and wrong in the face of this kind of major right and wrong~! ”

Li Zexuan is not stupid, he understands better than anyone that only when the country is stable can he live in Datang without worry.

Li Er's eyes showed appreciation, and he smiled slightly: "Okay! Attaboy! I didn't misread you! The vanadium ore over there in Shudi, it is estimated that you will be able to mine it soon! At that time, I hope you will refine a batch of vanadium steel to make armor and swords for the Xuanjia Army! I want to make the sword of the Tang Dynasty sharper, and when the time comes, it will pierce Jieli's heart~! ”
