Chapter 159: The Urgent Need (Fourth Update)
In the next few days, Changsun Wuji led a large army to Jingzhou to stop Luo Yi's rebels.
The battlefield can be said to be very intense, and there are constantly reports of the battle back to Chang'an.
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin listened to the reports of the ministers.
He jerked himself up from the dragon chair.
"What! Wuji and Luo Yi are in a stalemate!? ”
In this way, the Tang army and the Luo Yi rebels are a draw, and no one can help anyone.
The longer this war drags on, the more serious the loss on both sides.
Now the treasury is still a little short, and he, Li Shimin, can't afford to consume this kind of loss!
The more he goes on, the more the people will suffer, which is very detrimental to his rule, and now the Tang Dynasty has just started, so this war cannot be defeated!
So, you have to find a way.
Fang Xuanling took the opportunity to step forward and said, "The minister thinks that the Duke of Qi should be transferred back!" Replaced by Lu Guogong! To boost morale! ”
Fang Xuanling is on Cheng Yanjin's side.
After Cheng Yanjin glanced at him gratefully, there is no reason for others to help you, you don't take the initiative, so he also came out and said:
"Your Majesty, there are ministers, and Luo Yi will definitely be able to walk around without eating! So the minister petitioned to go to clear the Luo Yi rebels! ”
Wei Chi Jingde also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go on behalf of the Duke of Qi!" ”
In the past, Wei Chi Jingde had no chance, but now that the eldest grandson Wuji and Luo Yi are tied, his chance will come up.
At the same time, more and more people are joining the action.
Before, it was because the eldest grandson Wuji went out on the expedition and Li Chengqian stopped it, so no one could go, but now it is different, the eldest grandson Wuji failed to take Luo Yi.
If you fail to win, you will fail.
Li Shimin has his own considerations, he said: "Wuji disappointed me this time, there must be other reasons, if this reason is not solved, we will still have a big loss!" ”
An official who came to report said straightly: "The lower official thinks that our war horses have suffered serious losses!" And Luo Yi's martial arts are strong, and the army is even stronger, and it is difficult for Qi Guogong to resist alone! ”
Someone asked, "Why is that?" ”
Li Shimin led the troops to fight, and he also knew the reason, he said: "The horse's hooves are seriously worn, and the war horses have to be replaced every once in a while. ”
This kind of high-intensity war makes everyone have a headache, and the problem of horse hoof wear and tear is a key problem that restricts the Tang cavalry, especially the long-term attrition, and the annual loss of horses is tens of thousands, which is quite a lot.
This is a leak that must be filled, otherwise if it continues like this, I am afraid that Luo Yi will not be able to calm down.
Wei Chi Jingde said: "If this problem is solved, I'm afraid it won't be solved in a short time!" ”
Wei Chi Jingde once saved Li Shimin, and at the same time he also had his own understanding of war.
But Li Shimin didn't believe it, he said: "Someone! Something must be done to solve this problem, no matter what the cost! ”
Now that the national strength is gradually becoming stronger, there should be a way.
At this time, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely smart, why don't you let him think of a way, maybe there is a way?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin remembered Li Chengqian.
Then he asked Empress Changsun: "Guanyin! What do you say Gao Ming has been doing lately? ”
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? At this time, he was locked up in the East Palace, saying that he was studying crops and increasing grain production in order to alleviate the problem of famine. ”
"Yes, yes, my head has been so busy these days that I have forgotten."
Li Chengqian has been soaking in his three acres of land all these days, working hard to study his crops, and has never gone out.
In addition, Sun Wuji was not in Chang'an during this period of time, and it was rare for him to be idle.
As for Concubine Wang, she was simply weak in front of him, she was like the scum of Zhan Wu, and at the same time, it was difficult for her not to trouble herself, so the grievances with her were put aside for the time being.
Cheng Yanjin first said: "Your Majesty, let the ministers go to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him for help!" ”
Wei Chi Jingde also said: "The minister is also willing to go!" Make some contribution to the suppression of the rebellion in my Datang! ”
Since the last time, Li Chengqian and Wei Chi Jingde talked about being close to Cheng Yanjin, so during this period of time, he and Cheng Yanjin were very close, so when Cheng Yanjin wanted to go to the East Palace, he also took the initiative to ask to go.
"Good! Let the two of you go, and as for the others, brainstorm too! At the same time, if you go to the people, maybe there will be some methods for craftsmen to do! I'm going to get a solution by tomorrow morning at the latest! Otherwise...... All facing the wall for three days! ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone felt a lot of pressure, this problem has accumulated over the years, and it cannot be solved, and this solution will only be solved tomorrow morning, so it is too anxious.
Empress Eldest Sun also felt too anxious. So he wanted to excuse the minister, so he said, "Your Majesty...... Seems too much of a hurry? ”
"Not in a hurry? My Tang Dynasty disciples are killing the enemy on the front line at this time, and if we can't find a solution, more people will die because of this! I'm not in a hurry? Who's anxious for them? ”
But then again, now the soldiers of Datang are fighting on the front line, and they have to lose some soldiers every day, which is all expenses!
Li Shimin is also in a hurry, otherwise he would not have given this death order!
As soon as his words came out, Empress Eldest Sun stopped saying anything.
However, the ministers actually pinned their hopes on Li Chengqian at this time.
I hope the prince can give a solution.
"That's it! Go find a solution! Retreat! ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he threw away his sleeves and left a stall for everyone.
The ministers are now around Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde.
"Lu Guogong, Wu Guogong, you must ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to solve our urgent needs!"
"Yes, Lu Guogong, with your friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely have a way, right?"
……
Everyone has never relied so much on Li Chengqian, and this time it is very obvious, so if Li Chengqian knows about this, he will definitely laugh.
Cheng Yanjin has never been surrounded by so many people, whether it is a friend or a strange official, everyone shows the expression of expectation.
He said happily:
"Don't worry, with the wisdom and wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this problem will definitely be solved! What should you do, Wu Guogong and I are going to find the prince! ”
Only then did everyone step back and go about their own business.
At this time, Wei Chi Jingde asked: "Lu Guogong, do you really have the confidence to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come up with a plan?" ”
"This ...... Seriously, no! ”
Yu Chi Jingde's face is full of black lines, no? You say a ball!
But Cheng Biting Jin changed his words and said, "But I want to believe that he must be able to!" I will definitely not let the people of the Tang Dynasty go unattended! ”
Wei Chi Jingde: ......
He must have scolded Cheng Yanjin thousands of times in his heart, you said everything, you said it right.
"Okay, Wu Guogong, without further ado, let's go!"
