Chapter 602: Xiongdu (45)
Li Shimin only felt that the blood around his body was burning with his father's words, and a beautiful picture composed of blood and fire, spears and battle flags appeared in his mind.
What my father said is the future strategy of the Li family, which is not only related to the rise and fall of the Li family's family business, but also related to the lives of thousands of people and even the belonging of the whole world. Although Li Shimin is quite dissatisfied with Pei Lian, he also has to admit that the strategy conceived by Pei Changshi and his father is indeed clever, even if he goes into battle himself, he can't think of a more clever way.
The Wagang army can kill good battles, Li Mi is a hero from a famous family with Gao Zhiguang, and when he was a teenager, he met Yang Su, the prince of Yue Guo at that time, and was found by Yang Su that what he read was the Chen Shi family chapter in the historical records. Since then, Yang Su has decided that Li Mi's heart is extraordinary and definitely not a thing in the pool. When Yang Xuangan rebelled, he was the mastermind and gave advice for himself because of the influence of his father, although Yang Xuangan was finally defeated and died, but he was able to stir up turmoil in the world of the Great Sui, which also shows that Li Mi's methods are extraordinary.
Not long after he defected to the Wagang Army, this Green Forest Army became a powerful force that made the world's heroes look sideways, and the famous Sui general Zhang Xutuo was also defeated by his hands, which shows that his methods are clever. Zhai Rang, the commander of the Wagang Army, took the initiative to set up the Pushan public camp under the command of Li Mi, and recently there were rumors that Li Mi's prestige was above Zhai Rang and he would soon be replaced.
Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, it is enough to prove that Li Mi is not a thing in the pool, but a hero who is qualified to compete with his own family for the world. If its wings are full and show its strength, it is difficult to predict who will die of the two deer. Don't look at the Wagang Army is composed of green forests, but Li Mi himself is from a family, and his ancestors are one of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, just like his own family. If he has the upper hand, those family valves may change their ways, and then their current scenery will be the same.
It is beyond reproach to concentrate troops to break through Wagang first and then attack the Great Sui. The motion to unite Yang Guang to divide half of the world is even more clever. The so-called justification, even if they are not sincere to this covenant, as long as Yang Guang is willing to make such a holy decree, he will have the legal system to conquer the world.
Yang Yu is in the hands of his father and son, and with Yang Guang's holy decree, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yang family's strength is exhausted, and there will be a large number of old Sui Dynasty troops who will come to surrender, and there will be many fewer obstacles to seize the world. As for the words of Tongguan as the boundary, naturally no one will follow it, as long as Yang Guang recognizes the eastern and western courts, he will lose the legal system. When his family destroys all the waiters, and then leads his troops south to force Yang Guang to abdicate, he will be able to hold the whole world in his hands.
For the sake of the great cause of the country, even his father and son have to gamble their lives, let alone Xu Le? But then again, no matter how beautiful this picture is, Yang Guang has to agree. How cruel the son of heaven is, his father and son know it in their hearts. Xu Le's life and death are unpredictable, whether it is for mutual friendship or for the Li family's great cause, he should not let such a peerless general do this death errand.
Besides, even if Yang Guang's brutality is not mentioned, this road alone is not easy to walk. From Chang'an to Jiangdu, take the Han River into the Yangtze River, this waterway is not within the control of the Li family's forces. What's more, Li Yuan's dealings with Yang Guang are confidential, and he can't mobilize the army to escort them, so he can only disguise himself and walk in disguise.
If there is chaos all over the place today, it is not safe for merchant ships to move. Even if dozens of Li Jiajinyi will escort them, they can't guarantee safety. What's more, with the trouble that Xu Le broke through, it was impossible for Li Yuan to send his team of men and horses as subordinates. Even if he could transfer all the guards to Xu Le, it would have no effect, but would cause unnecessary trouble.
From the envoy's point of view, Xu Le is obviously not a qualified candidate. The envoys sent to the letter all required a scribe who was sharp and eloquent, eloquent and full of wealth, and preferably had some famous connections, so that even if he angered the other party, he could find the help of all parties to seek preservation. Xu Le is a brave general, he prefers to reason with his fists rather than eloquent, such people are only suitable for communicating with military men, how can he be sent to meet Yang Guang?
No matter how you look at it, this is an errand to die, if it weren't for Li Yuan's previous performance, which was really heartfelt, Li Shimin would almost suspect that his father was killing people with a knife, and killing Xu Le with Yang Guang's hand could not only appease those children of the family, but also not chill the hearts of his subordinates. Although he believes that his father is not in such a mind at the moment, Li Shimin still finds it difficult to agree with this arrangement, and just wants to open his mouth to defend Xu Leshen and beg his father to take back his life and think of Fang Cai's words, he doesn't know how to say this, let alone whether to say it or not.
Seeing what his son was thinking, Li Yuan preemptively said: "No matter what, Ah Le has caused a big disaster this time. What should others think if they are not punished? If other generals follow suit, the foundation of our Li family will collapse in an instant. Whether it is for others or for themselves, it is indispensable to teach him some lessons, so that everyone can calm their anger, and it is also good for Xu Le. The trip to Jiangdu is certainly dangerous, but it may not be more dangerous than Chang'an or Yunzhong. Ah Le Nai is a hero, he will never be afraid of danger and dare not go, and he has the courage to turn evil into good fortune. If you think about it, every time he takes a risk, it's good for him, and this time is no exception. Everyone didn't dare to go to Jiangdu, he walked on this experience, and no one would dare to say that he was not in the future. As a father, you can also let go of your hands and feet, and you don't have to worry about other people's gossip. For my father to give you an explanation, Ah Le's Xuanjia cavalry suffered heavy losses this time, and there was such a scene in the palace, so someone said that the Xuanjia cavalry would be scattered and incorporated into various armies. lest they collude with each other and be unrestrained, and cause great trouble in the future. ”
"My lord, this matter must not be stopped!" Li Shimin hurriedly said: "The Xuanjia Cavalry dominates the battlefield with the Iron Cavalry Wall Formation, and it is necessary to gather in one place in order to exert the greatest combat power. If they are scattered and reorganized, if they destroy the Great Wall, this invincible force will become a mediocre pawn, where will my Li family find such an elite who will break down the royal humiliation? ”
"I don't need you to say this, I have thought of it a long time ago for my father." Li Yuan interrupted his son's words: "This kind of words will not be listened to by the father, and the Xuanjia cavalry will not only not be scattered, but will also recruit troops to replenish the troops." In the future, there will be few Xuanjia cavalry charging into battle, how can only a few hundred cavalry be enough? There are widely armor canes in Chang'an City, and there is no shortage of war horses in our army. The father has decided to set up an army of Xuanjia on his own, counting three thousand people. When Ah Le came back from Jiangdu this time, he officially gave him the number of generals, let him lead this strong army, and then reward him for his military exploits in the future. Think about it, now all the armies are staring at the famous soldiers and horses, and some people regard the Xuanjia cavalry as a strange commodity, if Ah Le doesn't do a few things that no one can't, how can he be so rewarded for his father? ”
Li Shimin had nothing to say now. There is nothing wrong with what his father said, whether it is the head of the Li family or the hidden son of the current court, Li Yuan has a lot of concerns in his actions, and he can't let go of his hands and feet like a chivalrous man. After all, to fight the world, you can't just rely on martial arts, soldiers, and horses, but also rely on strategy and change. If he offends all the forces under his command for the sake of one Xu Le, the Li family's foundation will naturally do more harm than good.
The name is an important weapon of the court, and it cannot be easily allowed. On that day, my father saw that Xu Le was the son of the deceased, and he named Xu Le a general when they met, which was already a bit of a child's play. However, at that time, the Li family had just raised troops, and heroes from all over the country came to vote. Among them, there are many self-proclaimed generals or those who indiscriminately promise famous names, and Li Shentong even scattered the general's horn indiscriminately, and gathered the green forest heroes from all over the country to die for themselves.
Now that we have captured Chang'an, we must pay attention to the system, and those generals who are indiscriminately sealed must be dismissed so as not to cause chaos in the world in the future, and Xu Le's general number is not very stable. Originally, with his achievements in capturing the Pujin Formation, killing Yukura and capturing the city, it was natural for him to be a general. However, the incident of Dou Fengjie and the subsequent reaction of Xuanjia Cavalry always gave others a handle, and whether the general's horn could be kept was also in the father's thoughts.
Expanding the Xuanjia cavalry to three thousand, plus the general's name, is enough to make most of the martial artists willing to fight for their lives, not to mention that Xu Le did cause a big disaster before. Even if Xu Le is here, I am afraid that I have to thank Tang Guogong for his benevolence and righteousness, and there will be no complaints. Li Shimin couldn't think of any reason to excuse Xu Le's resignation, but he always felt that it was difficult to rest assured that he would break into the river.
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Erlang shouldn't think about things too hard, it's just a trip to Jiangdu, and it's not for him to break into the tiger's den in Longtan." It seems to be self-defeating, but it is not. Since the conquest of Liaodong and the defeat of the north and south of the Jiangdu, he has lost his original sharpness. In the rest of the year, the world was in turmoil, and he didn't pay attention to it in Jiang, but instead beheaded the messenger who was in a hurry. Even if he did such a self-deceptive thing, he knew that he didn't have the courage to do it. We don't want to fight, and that one doesn't want to fight. The tens of thousands of Xiaoguo in his hand are the last capital, if this team is gone, his life will not be saved. As far as it is concerned, Chang'an has lost its turn against me and is useless. The top priority at the moment is to protect the eastern capital, otherwise the two capitals will be trapped in the unstable army, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers may be dispersed in one night. The two coalition forces fight the thief, which is beneficial to each other, because he will never easily turn against him. Ah Le seems to be alone, but behind him there are hundreds of thousands of tigers from my Li family, and there is a general trend in the world to protect himself, how dare he kill people easily? Even if he is really mad and wants to poison him, with Ah Le's bravery, thousands of troops and horses will not be able to keep him, and he can escape from the encirclement. This trip seems to be dangerous but it is actually safe, compared with the current guns and arrows in Chang'an City, Jiangdu is more stable. ”
Li Shimin was completely speechless now, and he had to admit that his father was reasonable, at least when discussing the military strategy, there was nothing wrong with this idea. Besides, with the current situation, no matter how willing Li Shimin is to defend Xu Le, he can't think of a better way.
Rao is like this, Li Shimin still made up his mind in his heart, no matter how good this method is, he has to ask Xu Le himself before speaking. If he didn't want to go this way, he would have to fight to anger his father, and he would also protect Xu Le and let him stay in Chang'an City. No matter how many dark arrows there are, they will bear it by themselves!
