Chapter 64: Transecting the Divine Will
Zhenzhu Khan really had two sons......
Li Su was also stunned, and the first thought that popped up in his mind was not a tui en order, but ...... This guy is too weak, right?
Anyway, he is also the king of the grassland, he only gave birth to two sons, look at Li Shimin, his son gave birth to fourteen, and his daughter gave birth to twenty-one, it is simply a living humanoid breed/horse, in contrast, the guy who only gave birth to two sons is actually embarrassed to rob the territory of other people's breeds/horses, isn't he ashamed?
"Li Su, did you come up with the idea just now?"
Li Su looked at the sky deeply, with a look of embarrassment: "When I was very young, an old Taoist priest passed by in the village......"
"Okay, okay, no serious words!" Dongyang glanced at him fiercely: "If you have an idea, don't say it earlier, your words can make me Datang die less, and the strategy of accumulating great virtue is still hidden, not afraid of the thunder from the sky to smash you!" ”
"There really is an old Taoist priest......"
"Shut up!" Dongyang lost his temper rarely, stood up and looked at the sky, and said, "I'll go to the palace now, and my father may have started to dispatch troops......"
Looking at Dongyang's prosperous appearance, Li Su was a little uncomfortable, probably this is the Tang Princess's natural sense of responsibility and mission, and the quiet and weak Dongyang is no exception.
"This ploy...... Is it okay? Li Su asked cautiously.
"Okay, report to my father first, and then say, what do I know about the man's fight, killing, and killing? But I think it's okay......"
Li Su's eyes unconsciously flashed with hope: "It's not easy for everyone, if the imperial court adopts my strategy, shouldn't you reward me with some ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Princess Dongyang waved his hand to him as a goodbye, and then hurried away.
Li Suleng stayed in place, looking at her distant back, and for a long time, he squeezed out the unfinished words from his throat: "...... Money? ”
Without answering, Princess Dongyang's back was followed by more than a dozen guards, and slowly turned into a small black dot.
Li Su sighed gloomily: "This person ...... Not particular. ”
*****************************************************
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
Today's hall is full of military generals, Li Jing, Li Tao, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, and even Qin Qiong, the prince of Yiguo who has been sick in bed for a long time, is also here, Li Shimin in order to sympathize with him, specially let him lie on a soft couch.
There are also civil officials, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Qiao, Zhu Suiliang and so on.
The generals are informal, sitting in the hall giggling and bickering, but the expressions of the civil officials are quite solemn, carefully observe the proportion of civil and military officials in the palace, you can find a lot of subtle details, more martial arts and less literature, and it is to discuss the matter of Xue Yantuo, which shows the mind of His Majesty.
Shangshu's left servant shot Fang Qiao sighed secretly, it seems that His Majesty has made up his mind and is going to send troops to attack Xue Yantuo. His Majesty is fierce, and he can never be provoked, when the Eastern / Turkic Jieli Khan Khan soldiers came to Chang'an City, forcing His Majesty to sign the humiliating Weishui Alliance, only four years later, His Majesty took revenge and hated the Jieli Khan alive to Chang'an, and now Xue Yantuo's 200,000 troops are in transgression, and the emperor with a higher heart can not bear it, and the northern expedition to Xue Yantuo is a foregone conclusion.
said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was just Li Shimin who called everyone to announce his decision.
Attacking Xue Yantuo is not a momentary mood, Li Shimin has also thought about it many times before making this decision, now the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, although the ten years of recuperation are far from reaching the point where the country is strong and the people are rich, but it is also a rich granary, full of swords and weapons, plus the government is honest, everyone is in the heart, and the weather is also in early summer, it can be said that no matter the time and place are favorable, this time it is all occupied, as for the price of the war...... Throughout the ages, what war has not cost itself?
"My mind has been decided, on the same day, I will transfer the two provinces of Hebei in the Guannei, count 100,000 soldiers, and go to Xue Yantuo, worship Li Jing, the assassin of Puzhou, the prince of the country, as the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, and the general commander of the 100,000 Hebei army in the Guannei to march north......"
Fang Qiao sighed secretly, and had to say: "Your Majesty, please think twice, my Datang is now recuperating and recuperating, the people's houses and warehouses are sufficient, this battle is dangerous, it costs a lot of money and food, not to mention the lives of thousands of children in my Guanzhong, I am afraid that the prosperity created by my Datang Dynasty after ten years of work is a great injury, and it will take ten years to see it again, so the minister thinks that it is better to carss Xue Yantuo with tenderness, and it is the best policy to rejuvenate the sword and soldiers after four or five years......"
Li Shimin's eyes showed a fierce anger, and he said heavily: "Xuanling don't say more, I have made up my mind, the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu work together, the Ministry of Rites plans to draft the document, the Ministry of Household allocates grain and grass, and the Ministry of War dispatches soldiers and ordnance...... Today, no matter the political opinions, the war is open, we must perform our duties and work together, and today in the coming year, I want to see that Xue Yantuo's tooth tent has become a happy land for my Tang people to herd horses......"
Before he finished speaking, a eunuch hurriedly walked over, knelt down carefully outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Dongyang asks to see her, Your Highness said that the matter is urgent, it is related to military affairs, and I ask Your Majesty to summon me." ”
Li Shimin's brows furrowed: "Dongyang? What military affairs can she have? ”
After all, he had a trace of guilt for this daughter, Li Shimin hesitated, but still held back his anger, and said to the ministers in the palace: "Wait a minute, Zhuqing, I will come when I go." ”
…………
In the side hall of Ganlu Palace, Princess Dongyang knelt down to Li Shimin Yingying, Li Shimin had just been interrupted by her important court meeting, his face was a little unhappy, looking at his daughter's soft and weak appearance, he couldn't bear to be angry, and said in a not very kind tone: "Dongyang is so anxious to see me, is there something wrong?" ”
Dongyang lowered his head and said: "There is something, it is very important, so Dongyang has to delay his father for a little time, please ask my father to take the time and listen to Dongyang's details." ”
Li Shimin flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "Come on." ”
"Father, Dongyang has a plan, so that my Tang Dynasty does not spend a single soldier, and traps Xue Yantuo in internal fighting, this plan Dongyang is not feasible, so I ask my father for benefits."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, neither laughing, nor angry, and sighed after a while: "You are a girl, how can military affairs be as simple as you think, go back to the princess's mansion to recuperate, and I will give you delicious food ...... the palace."
Dongyang was anxious, so he had to interrupt him, and said quickly: "Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan has two sons, and Xue Yantuo is also nominally a vassal of my Tang Dynasty...... Is it feasible? ”
After Dongyang plucked up the courage to finish speaking, the side hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Dongyang was worried in his heart, hung his head uneasily, couldn't hear the movement for a long time, couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly, and looked at Li Shimin's face carefully, but found that Li Shimin was kneeling on the couch in a daze, looking at Dongyang with a shocked face.
"Father? This count...... Isn't it feasible? Dongyang's heart was so weak that his voice was much lower.
For a long time, Li Shimin's face was complicated, and he said word by word: "Push, en, order?" ”
