Chapter 881: Voyage Reply
More than a thousand years later, many people look at Li Shimin and think that he is the pride of heaven, a British lord who combines ability and luck, and is the only emperor in China who has almost no bad comments for thousands of years.
Of course, most of Li Shimin's life was indeed wise and wise, but in his later years, he finally embarked on a stupid and confused old road.
Once a person is impulsive, the favor of Heaven ends here.
No matter who he is, only in the right place, at the right time, and when he makes the right decision, he will shine with the most dazzling brilliance, this kind of thing Li Shimin has done all his life, and almost every time he has done it perfectly, so future generations have a very high evaluation of him, but in this Eastern Crusade, Li Shimin made mistakes, or rather, he made a lot of mistakes.
The mistake is not only to urge Niu Jinda to attack, from the beginning of the camp in Jizhou, Li Shimin made many mistakes because of the mentality of quick success, the mistakes made at the beginning did not show results, one after another, and finally outside the city of Liaodong, all the mistakes broke out and got the consequences they deserved.
Tens of thousands of lives were killed on the battlefield because of the mistakes made by Li Shimin alone, and these mistakes he made could have been completely avoided in advance.
So, what should we say about this wise and wise Heavenly Khan?
Li Su doesn't know how future historians will write this history of Li Shimin's Eastern Crusade, perhaps, he will bring it in just a few sentences, after all, he is His Majesty the Emperor, how can he have a trace of stain?
Li Su didn't want to worry about the future, and it wasn't his turn to worry, he was very anxious now, anxious to visit the injured Niu Jinda.
From the first year of Zhenguan to the present, the Tang Dynasty has not broken the southern and northern wars over the years, and almost every year it will launch a war of different scales, but few leading commanders have been injured, and Niu Jinda has caught up.
…………
Leading a few subordinates, Li Su hurriedly entered the camp of the Chinese army, found Niu Jinda's camp tent, and was about to go in, when he found Chang Tu and several familiar guards standing outside the camp tent.
Li Su thought about it and decided not to join in the fun, Li Shimin's mood must be very bad at this time, but Niu Jinda is his favorite general, not only defeated but also almost took his own life, in this case, Li Shimin's anger is naturally embarrassed to vent to Niu Jinda, at this time, if Li Su rushes in without a head and no brain, the end will be difficult to say, "Accompany the king is like a tiger" This sentence is the true meaning of life summed up by countless unlucky predecessors with their own lives and blood for thousands of years.
"Go back, come back in the afternoon!" Li Su made a decision, turned around and left.
Fang Lao Wu and the others hurriedly followed.
"Why did Li Xiangong come and return?" A slightly shrill voice came from behind Li Su.
Li Su sighed secretly, and when he turned around, he was already full of smiles.
"I've seen Grandpa Chang."
Chang Tu has an eerie expression as always, and even when he laughs, it looks like the black and white impermanence that runs out of the underworld to hook the soul.
With a slight side of his body, he often smiled and said: "Your Majesty is visiting General Niu in the room, it is not a confidential matter, and you don't avoid hearing and seeing, why don't you let me go in and talk about it?" ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty is visiting Uncle Niu, it is inconvenient for Li to disturb, or ...... Uh, wait outside. ”
Chang Tu nodded and said: "Looking at the powerful people inside and outside the court, the only one who is cautious is Li County Gongye, in fact, you don't have to be so careful, Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, but he will never be angry with you, it doesn't hurt to go in." ”
Li Su shook his head: "Thank you for the kindness of Father-in-law Chang, Li still won't go in, it's good to wait outside." ”
Chang Tu was not reluctant, and nodded with a smile.
Then, Li Su immediately found himself in a very embarrassing situation, because if he waited outside, he would have to stand with Chang Tu, but Chang Tu exuded a gloomy smell from the inside out, Li Su was really in no mood to chat with him, but the two of them couldn't help but say something when they stood together, ancient social ...... That's also socializing, and the rules of the adult world have to be followed.
When Li Su racked his brains to find some topic to forcibly talk about it, Chang Tu spoke first, and the person who didn't say anything laughed first.
"I heard that Li Xiangong is erudite and talented, has a wide range of experience, can know what the world can't know, and doesn't show mountains and dews on weekdays, and his real skills are all hidden in his stomach, and he really admires ......"
Li Su looked at him in confusion with a helpless expression.
Big brother, if you don't want to chat, you can be silent, what do you mean by saying these brainless words?
"Uh, Li is stupid, I don't know why Father-in-law Chang said this?"
Chang Tu smiled and said: "I heard that Li Xiangong once chatted with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a filial son, and he honestly recounted the content of your conversation to His Majesty,...... As Li Xiangong said, are we living on a ball, uh, dirt? Also, at the end of the sea, there really is an endless borderland, and these borderlands are bigger than the Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Su was taken aback, and then began to reflect, what is there to be surprised about?
"Hehe, Li and His Royal Highness King Jin used to joke for a while, and it shouldn't be true."
Chang Tu smiled: "Originally, it couldn't be true, but ...... Your Majesty seems to have doubts, as early as half a year ago, when Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was ordered to prepare for His Majesty's Eastern Crusade, he sent a big ship from Laizhou to the sea and went east, led by a school captain, with about 200 people, after all, it was just His Majesty's doubts, the ships and people did not dare to bring more, 200 people were enough......"
Li Su's heartbeat quickened in vain, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the camp.
The emperor is really the emperor, and any words that reach his ears must be verified by someone, even if it is nonsense, it can be seen that Li Shimin really values himself very much, but on the other hand, every word and deed of himself has fallen into his eyes, is it possible that someone has been secretly monitoring him?
For a moment, Li Su thought very far, but quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I wonder if the soldiers who went to sea have ever returned?" ”
Chang Tu's smile was a little unpredictable, and he nodded: "I'm back, I came back yesterday." ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Tired of the soldiers running around for Li's nonsense, Li's crime is even greater." ”
Chang Tu looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze, and sighed lightly: "If the soldiers had gained nothing, I wouldn't have praised you for your erudition and talent just now......
Li Su was curious: "Is it really a harvest?" Discovered the New World? Did the peppers, potatoes and corn seeds come back? Tsk, it takes half a year to make a round trip from the New World, so to speak...... Not really. ”
Chang Tu said with a blank face: "What are chili peppers, potatoes and corn?" I don't know what you said, the soldiers sailed eastward for more than 2,000 miles and stopped, they found some small overseas barbarian countries, some are just small tribes that drink blood, and the grain they grow is the same as our Datang, all of them are rice, but I heard that the yield is quite high, almost on the same level as the rice varieties of Zhenla country, and there are some local specialties......"
Looking at Li Su and smiling, Chang Tu sighed: "Li County is a high-ranking talent, you can know the affairs of the world without leaving home, it seems that the word 'world' is really more than we imagined, the soldiers saw land and islands all the way, and some of the land is not slightly smaller than our Datang Hedong Road......"
Shaking his head, Chang Tu sighed: "I thought that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was already at its peak, but it seems that it is still too narrow, the world is so big, what is the place occupied by the Tang Dynasty?" The emperors of the future generations are afraid that they will be very busy...... These are thanks to the small talk between Li Xiangong and His Royal Highness King Jin at the beginning. ”
Li Su had no choice but to laugh twice.
As a member of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Su is naturally happy to see this kind of thing happening, but now that Li Shimin is the emperor, since the beginning of the Eastern Crusade, Li Su has been faintly disappointed in Li Shimin deep down, those things that go to the sea to the east and open up the territory, maybe Li Zhi is more suitable than Li Shimin, Li Shimin is dying, not only is it difficult to have an enterprising heart, but also is stupid and confused, going to sea to expand the new territory is obviously a good chess hand, Li Su really doesn't want to see it be crooked by Li Shimin's stinky chess basket.
Speechless and laughing, Niu Jinda's tent had been opened, Li Shimin came out of it, Li Su hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and when he got up, he found that Li Shimin's eyes were red, obviously he had just cried.
After eating a big defeat, Li Shimin's expression was no different from usual, seeing Li Su saluting, Li Shimin nodded slightly, pointed to the camp tent, and said: "Zizheng came just in time, your Uncle Niu is uneasy to calm down, and he is deeply guilty, you go and help me persuade him, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, how can you live and seek death with a momentary defeat?" Tell him that everything is my fault, that I should not order him to attack, that the defeat of this battle has nothing to do with him, that I will never blame him, and that the soldiers will not blame him......"
Li Su nodded, and hurriedly entered the camp after saluting.
The tent was very dark, there was no light in it, Niu Jinda was lying on a soft couch, and there was a medical officer sitting next to him, Niu Jinda's face was covered with a thick layer of mattress, lying on the soft couch without saying a word, Li Su's heart was furious, and he felt that he had entered the morgue......
"Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu! Zizheng has come to see you......" Li Su called softly.
Niu Jinda was silent.
Li Su continued to call unyieldingly, and after a while, Niu Jinda couldn't stand the noise, lifted the mattress on his head, sat up and said angrily: "Call a fart!" The old man is not dead yet, you don't need to urge, he will die tomorrow! ”
Seeing that Niu Jinda finally spoke, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief.
With such a big anger, it is obvious that Niu Jinda has not lived enough, otherwise he should have looked like he was in despair at this moment, instead of being so angry.
"Uncle Niu, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers......" Li Su's opening remarks of consolation were not finished, and he was immediately interrupted by Niu Jinda.
The old man was tired of hearing this sentence, and he wanted to vomit when he heard it! No matter who enters the camp tent, the opening is this sentence, the old man has been fighting all his life, don't you know that victory and defeat are common? Boy, if you have something to say, say it quickly, if it's just to comfort the old man, get out of here! ”
Li Su paused, and felt that he should simply give him a fierce medicine, otherwise the old general would slowly degenerate into old hypocrisy, if the knot of today's defeat could not be untied, Niu Jinda might not be able to lead the troops in the future.
So Li Su's face turned pale, and his tone became cold unconsciously: "Uncle Niu, before the army started, did I remind you to be cautious in using troops?" Did you ever tell you that Goguryeo Gao Huizhen is as cunning as a fox and must be extremely careful? ”
Niu Jinda stagnated, his anger suddenly fell, and he sighed gloomily: "You have reminded you." ”
Li Su said coldly: "Why did you still fall into Gao Hui's trap?" More than 20,000 soldiers died at the foot of Niushou Mountain, all because of you, are you worthy of the soldiers who died in vain? ”
Niu Jinda slapped the bed and said angrily: "Is it strange old man? Is the old man to blame? The old man is the boss, but he is also a courtier, if you accept the will, do you dare to disobey it? ”
