"'Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs...... but when read carefully, it is far inferior to the tail couplet of His Royal Highness the Prince, 'If there is a sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.'" Even more wonderful! Gao Shilian said with infinite emotion.
Everyone in the hall nodded with emotion when they heard this, with both admiration and envy in their hearts......
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his head and took a deep breath, handed out a few pieces of paper in his hand, and motioned for the waiter to pass it to Gao Shilian and the others, and he looked at the door of the hall with an extremely complicated expression.
After a while, seeing Li Ke still standing respectfully, he couldn't help sighing, stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat close to him, and said, "You can sit down too!" ”
Li Ke bowed and sat down carefully, knowing that with Li Shimin's mind, he would not be unmoved by Li Chengqian's proposal.
Of course, Li Chengqian could not have fled thousands of miles to send only one poem back, and there was also a note under the poem, suggesting that Li Shimin take this opportunity to defeat the 200,000 allied troops in Mobei in a battle, or kill them all to prevent future troubles, or use them to build roads and mine and work hard to die of hard work.
Anyway, they can't be allowed to return to Mobei, otherwise whether it is Hui Su, Tongluo, or Tiele, they will definitely be another Xue Yantuo if they get this power.
Li Chengqian's suggestion is like a yang + withered person lying next to a naked + naked beauty and seeing a poisonous aphrodisiac + medicine on the table.
On the one hand, he very much agreed with Li Chengqian's suggestion, but he did not dare to make up his mind easily, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Li Chengqian's power would become greater and greater, and he was no longer worried that the vitality of the Tang army would be greatly damaged in order to keep these 200,000 allied troops.
It is not difficult to defeat the 200,000 coalition troops in Mobei with the current combat strength of the Tang Army, but it is extremely difficult to leave them all, after all, the Tang Dynasty has only sent a total of more than 100,000 troops this time, but the other party has 200,000 people.
Although the Tang Dynasty is now famous for its martial arts, there are Goguryeo in the northeast, Tuyuhun and Tubo in the west, and Gaochang in the northwest has not been peaceful.
On the other hand, Li Shimin also thought that after this war, the Mobei tribes did not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty for at least a few decades, and even if these tribes were wiped out, Mobei would only be a barren land......
Li Chengqian dared to make such a suggestion because he was confident that he could manage the north and south of the desert well, and he needed manpower to mine, build roads, and build the Great Wall.
Moreover, when Li Chengqian sent people to Chang'an to transfer Liu Renliang, he had already ordered Pei Xingjian to escort a large amount of gunpowder to Shuofang, so that the consumption would definitely be less in the start of a war.
It's just that when Li Chengqian sent the letter to Li Shimin, his order had just arrived in Chang'an, so he didn't mention it in the letter.
As for the governance of the Hetao he mentioned, Li Shimin can't accept it so far, after all, he hasn't seen it yet.
Soon, Li Chengqian's suggestion was transferred in the hands of several ministers, and Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian looked at each other with a look of difficulty in making a choice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's performance is certainly reasonable, but at present, my Tang Dynasty only has 100,000 troops in Saibei, and it is not difficult to repel and defeat the enemy army, but it is not easy to leave them all, why don't you allow them to surrender first, and then divide and ......" Yang Hongli is the head of the military department, and he must give his opinion.
Li Shimin looked at him and didn't speak, first allowed him to surrender, then dispersed the various departments, and then attacked them one by one, although it was a method, but it had an extremely adverse impact on the faith of the Tang Dynasty.
"If Yang Bingbu does this, wouldn't it make me lose faith in Yidi?" Gao Jifu put down Li Chengqian's recital and looked at Yang Hongli with a solemn expression.
Yang Hongli just shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and ignored Gao Jifu.
Ban Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Even so, it will not reach the goal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
The other people in the hall all looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise when they heard this, only Li Shimin nodded solemnly.
The Mobei coalition army knew that all the high-level officials in the account of Xue Yantuo Khan, including Yi Nan, had been captured by Li Chengqian, but the various departments still maintained a united posture, and even the original heart of the Tang Dynasty Hui Department also opened their mouths during negotiations, indicating that they had been guarding against the Tang Dynasty.
Now, even if Datang agrees to all their conditions and allows them to surrender, they will still have reservations after surrendering, and Datang will definitely not be able to keep these people without force.
Li Shimin glanced at the few people in front of him and knew that these people couldn't come up with any ideas, so he got up and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will and order Li Shiji to return to Shuofang City as soon as possible, and I have something important to discuss with him." ”
Yang Hongli hurriedly got up and responded: "Obey." ”
When the others saw Li Shimin get up, they knew that Li Shimin would inevitably discuss with the generals on the front line, and they all got up and retired when they couldn't come up with a reason at this time.
--------------
Early in the morning, the camp of Kongduigou.
The sun has not yet risen, and the Kongdui camp has begun its training in full swing, and tens of thousands of soldiers are sweating shirtless in this cold northern country......
Li Chengqian wore armor and rode a war horse in the military formation, and he felt his blood boiling when he saw these masculine warriors training hard just to be more loyal to him.
Li Chengqian secretly swore that with your support in this life, King Lone would make me the king of China in all directions.
The banquet lasted for several days, which made the training and military discipline in the army a little loose, and Li Chengqian did not dare to relax at all about the army that was going to have a tough battle to be fought soon, so on the last day of the feast, he ordered a three-day emergency training, and then the army went south to participate in the encirclement of the 200,000 allied troops in Mobei.
Today is the third day of the emergency training, and the morale on the martial arts field is soaring, and Li Chengqian's mood is also deeply affected by the soldiers, and he rides a war horse and lingers in the military formation.
It wasn't until the red sun rose to the treetops and his stomach was growling that he returned with all his excitement, leaving the martial arts arena Li Chengqian had a happy smile on his face, and rode a war horse all the way to the front of the Chinese military tent, and was carried off the war horse by Liu Kui and said loudly: "Go and prepare breakfast for the lonely king." ”
Liu Kui hurriedly said with a smile: "It's all ready, just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enjoy." ”
Li Chengqian strode into the big tent and saw that there were a few simple and nutritious snacks and hot milk on the small table, so he washed his hands in the basin brought by the waiter, sat down and began to gobble up.
Liu Kui saw that Li Chengqian was happy today, and walked to him with a smile: "Since we came to Northern Xinjiang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the lead in capturing the enemy chieftain, and cleared the northern Xinjiang for the Tang Dynasty, so that my people in the Tang Dynasty no longer have to suffer from the looting of the Northern Di." It's just that the prince's palace is alone, and the slaves and maids feel distressed when they look at it......" Liu Kui said and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
Li Chengqian was eating when he heard Liu Kui suddenly say these words, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up and saw it, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's the matter with you?"
Li Chengqian didn't look down on Liu Kui very much, and when he first came to his side, he didn't beat him less, but when he was a long time, especially when he went to the north together, Liu Kui served him very carefully, and he was not as protective of Liu Kui as he was at the beginning.
Seeing this, Liu Kui cautiously took two steps forward and changed his flattering smile, and lowered his voice and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, those minions surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, I will pay you tribute to two Persian beauties, those faces and figures are superb, and they are still ......."
Liu Kui said that seeing this, Li Chengqian's face had sunk, and he hurriedly explained: "The Yi girl should not have mentioned it in front of the prince's palace, but the slave maid saw those two-"
"Shut up!" Li Chengqian shouted in a deep voice.
It is also Liu Kui's lack of long-sightedness, when Li Chengqian was moved by the tens of thousands of soldiers on the martial arts arena to be full of pride, but he mentioned to him what Persian beauties, maybe the result would be different in the evening.
At that moment, Li Chengqian looked at Liu Kui coldly, and looked at Liu Kui's forehead with sweat, and then asked coldly: "Did you take the initiative to ask them for it or did they send it themselves?"
"It's them, they've forced it. The slave maid has always obeyed the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and she will never dare to find a place to ask for anything, otherwise it will not be two Persian beauties......" Liu Kui defended with tears.
Li Chengqian didn't see that he was lying, so he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Since you have accepted the lonely king, I will reward you with them, and let them be your wives and concubines. ”
Liu Kui was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after a while did he say with a crying voice: "The Persian woman is just a plaything, and if the slave maid marries her as a wife and concubine, it will be an ancestor!" ”
I really shed tears when I said it.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this, you are an incomplete person who still can't look down on other Western beauties?
Although Li Chengqian had never seen those two Persian beauties, since the surname Zhaowu Jiu dared to pay tribute to him, it was naturally not bad.
glanced at Liu Kui, who was like his own mother, and Li Chengqian, who was about to re-educate him, but heard Wang Fangyi say loudly outside the tent: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the imperial court has sent an envoy to ask for a meeting." ”
Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal Liu Kui to pack up his things, and said loudly: "Pass it in." ”
As Li Chengqian sat down on the main seat, he saw Wang Fangyi leading a young civil official into the big tent, and the civil official walked into the big tent and hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian.
"Minister Zhao Dehai see His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Chengqian looked at this Zhao Dehai lightly and said: "Zhao Qing is flat!" I don't know what the imperial court wills?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought His Majesty's edict and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to gather all the generals to receive it together."
"Huh?" Li Chengqian slowly got up and looked at Zhao Dehai and said, "What to tell King Gu in advance." ”
"Ugh!" Zhao Dehai looked at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment.
"Humph!"
Li Chengqian snorted angrily and sat down and said, "The heralds will enter the account." Then he lowered his head to deal with official business, and did not take another look at this unknown Zhao Dehai.
Zhao Dehai didn't feel embarrassed when he saw this, but breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Su Dingfang, Wei Chigong, Qi Bi He Li, Qiu Xinggong, Cheng Wuting, Li Simo and others came to the Chinese army's big tent one after another, and Zhao Dehai saw that everyone had arrived, so he whispered to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, are you starting to announce the decree?"
Li Chengqian had been speculating about what kind of will the imperial court had given him just now, and he had to read it out in front of the generals, although he didn't guess what the content was, but he knew that Ken was not conducive to his will, otherwise Zhao Dehai would not be so embarrassed.
At this time, since the generals had arrived, they had to get up and walk down, stand in the center of the big tent, and say, "Please proclaim!" The generals stood behind Li Chengqian and followed.
Zhao Dehai stood in front of Li Chengqian's desk and opened the edict and began to read it.
The first half of the edict is full of praise for Li Chengqian's great contribution in leading troops to defeat Xue Yantuo Khan's account in Sheji, and then vigorously publicize Li Shimin's longing for Li Chengqian, until the last sentence "Beidi is flat, I can't bear to divide the father and son for a long time, and on the day when the prince Chengqian received the edict, he handed over all military affairs to Chi Gong, the public lieutenant of the Hubei State, and led the guards of the East Palace to gather with the father and son, and admired this!" ”
After the edict was read, the big tent quieted down, and Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Dehai with a blue face.
Zhao Dehai's frightened legs were weak.
