"Dou Jiande doesn't have to worry about it from now on!" After reading the secret report sent by the spy from Hebei, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stood up with a smile, took a colored puppet from the Duobao Pavilion behind him, and threw it into the waste basket at his feet. ['''Super ''Speed ''First'']

Winning the championship is actually a gamble. Now that you have entered the field, you must be tough enough to know how to smile at yourself no matter how much you lose, knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach. You must not lose every inch because you lose money, and you can't even bring up the idea of turning the book. Back then, Chu and Han fought against each other, and at the beginning, the little hooligan Liu Bang was bound to lose almost every battle, so miserable that even his wife and grandfather were arrested by Xiang Yu. But after losing, he was not distracted, and he would soon be able to cheer up and fight with Xiang Yu again. As for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, he only lost once in his life, but after losing one game, he even fell into Wujiang and even found a chance to turn the book.

In Li Yuan's eyes, Dou Jiande belongs to the kind of person who can't afford to lose. It is not a shame to be defeated by the three coalition forces of Boling, Youzhou and Datang Neifu. Looking at the world, there are almost no heroes who can block the joint blow of Li Yi and Li Zhongjian. Even Li Yuan himself was not sure that he would be able to reap any benefits in the same situation. But if you lose, you lose, as long as you don't take your life, you can try your courage and then find a way to turn it over. Why bother to move the capital again, establish the country again, and kill the heavy generals, isn't this an obvious stomach ache and resentment of the prince?

On the basis of one point, Li Yuan firmly believes that Dou Jiande will not be his opponent. On the Duobao Pavilion in his room, according to the strength of the people, there are statues of Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua, Xue Ju, Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian and others. Dou Jiande was originally placed in an extremely high place, second only to Li Mi's second position. Now, this position can finally be vacated, and after discussing with the advisors another day, the order will have to be readjusted.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to send troops to recover Taiyuan?" The right servant shot Pei Lin was also very excited, walked to Li Yuan's case, and suggested with a smile.

"Hmm!" Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Now is indeed a good opportunity to regain lost ground. Last year, Liu Wuzhou, Li Rail, Xue Ju, Dou Jiande and others joined forces to commit crimes, and they really caught themselves off guard. Taiyuan, the old nest of the starter, was broken by Liu Wuzhou, and many strategic places in Longyou rich in good horses also fell into the hands of Xue Ju. But God blessed the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Ju, who defeated Liu Hongji and other famous generals, died of illness soon. The area around Beijing turned from danger to safety. Immediately afterwards, Dou Jiande came to such a hand again, which was equivalent to announcing that Dou Jiajun could no longer echo Liu Wuzhou in a short period of time, and handed over the strategic initiative.

Who can be sent to lead the troops? Built in Tongguan to guard against Wang Shichong, Xiaogong cleaned up the old land of the Great Sui in the south, and Liu Hongji was arrested by Xue Ju and locked in prison, and his life and death are still uncertain. After counting, Li Yuan found that the generals under his command who could be in charge were all so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and almost none of them could temporarily free their hands.

"If Your Majesty is embarrassed by the matter of choosing a general, why not give King Qin a chance again?" As an old minister who has followed Li Yuan since he started, Pei Lin is very good at figuring out Li Yuan's thoughts, smiled and said in a low voice.

"O the people!" Li Yuan shook his head slightly, turned around, and slowly walked around the room. "What do you mean, Shi Wen, Zhixuan, Shunde, you can also talk about it!"

It was already late at the moment, and there were not many people left in his room, but all of them were his confidants. There are some things that may not be said in the court, but they can be freely said here. Old Nayan Chen Yanshou was the first to speak, he had worked hard for the Li family for most of his life, and the energy of his whole body was almost drained, and every time he said a few words, he had to stop and breathe, "Above, the responsibility of the last battle of Gaojaw is not clear, cough, cough, cough, if Your Majesty, cough, and then use the King of Qin, I'm afraid the soldiers will be unconvinced!" The most taboo for politicians is to be too selfish, once it is opened, this precedent is set, in the future, in the future, it will be difficult to ask for others, others ......"

The battle of the high jaw in his mouth took place last year between the Li family and Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Chu. Both sides showed their greatest strength, but in the end, the Li family's Eighth Route Army was completely wiped out, several chief managers died, and those who were captured were captured, and none of them could come back safely. Although the eldest Sun Wuji and Liu Wenjing took all the responsibility afterwards, claiming that the coach Li Shimin was suffering from malaria and could not exercise command. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the eldest grandson Wuji and Liu Wenjing are suffering for the master, and Li Shimin's carelessness and underestimating the enemy is the key to the failure of this war.

After receiving the news of the defeat, Chang'an was shocked, and the officials and people were shocked three times a day. Fortunately, Xue Ju suddenly fell ill and died, which made the Western Chu soldiers and horses withdraw in a hurry. A war that almost plunged the Li family into a catastrophe was also over.

Xichu's soldiers and horses retreated, but the officials seized on the matter and did not forgive. Li Yuan had no choice but to demote the eldest grandson Wuji and Liu Wenjing by three levels each, and allow them to make meritorious contributions. Then Li Shimin's title was also reduced from the first class to the third class. But Shimin is his own son after all, and he can't be in the cold palace for a long time. So today, as soon as Pei Lin mentioned the words of letting Li Shimin come out of the mountain again, Li Yuan hesitated slightly, and his mind immediately moved.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yanshou, an old strategist who has not participated in government affairs for a long time, refused to give everyone this face, and insisted on seizing last year's high-jaw battle. Although Li Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, he remembered the credit of the other party for many years, but he had to listen patiently to the end. After Chen Yanshou's coughing gradually became quieter, he walked up to the other party with a smile, gently patted him on the back a few times, and explained in a low voice: "Chen Gong, your words are very reasonable, but I am currently short of manpower, so I have to use rotten wood as rafters." If Liu Wuzhou is allowed to take root in Taiyuan, we will have double the trouble if we want to take it back! ”

"Yes, there is no chance to be lost, and it will never come again." Sun Shunde, the prince of Xue Guo, heard what Li Yuan meant, and echoed with a smile. "Besides, the people of the world are still young, and it doesn't hurt to have more opportunities for training. In the past, Qin Mugong was defeated by three generals, and Meng Ming ended up in the shame of Xuekuo Mountain. I'm a Datang ......"

"Ahem, ahem!" Chen Yanshou coughed continuously, and interrupted the eldest grandson Shunde's words very impolitely, "Of course Duke Xue wants to give King Qin more opportunities, cough, cough, cough, and also let Wuji's child make meritorious contributions." Ahem, ahem, but what about the soldiers? In the event of defeat, to whom will they beg for their lives?! ”

"Chen Lao is smooth first, first smooth and smooth, you sit down and say, sit down and say. Someone, hurry up and pour a cup of hot tea for Chen Lao. Li Yuan was distressed when he heard the coughing sound, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Chen Yanshou sit down. The matter of sending troops is still inconclusive. Don't be too anxious......"

Chen Yanshou was choked by his cough, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. Seeing this, Shang Xiaoyu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs shook his head with a smile, then looked at everyone and said in a low voice: "Isn't King Qin making malaria?" I've heard that it's hard to treat. Can't break the roots without three and five years of rest? Once he led his troops out on the march, he was loyal to the country, so much so that he became ill with hard work. Wouldn't he have failed His Majesty's intention to cultivate him? ”

"He ......" Everyone paused for a moment, and they were speechless. Xiao Yu's words are really level, first of all, he did not mention the mistakes of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, last year, and did not give people the suspicion of biting on his shortcomings. Secondly, he used the excuse of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to evade responsibility last year, and made the eldest grandson Shunde and others argue that it was not, and it was not okay if they did not refute, so they had to bow their heads and swallow this dumb loss.

Li Yuan values Xiao Yu very much, not only because the other party is Emperor Xuan of Liang and Xiao Cha, but his blood is noble. And I have always admired Xiao Yu's ability to be a person and make a living. As early as the Great Cause period, Xiao Yu saw that the biggest threat to the Great Sui was not Goguryeo, but the father and son of the Qimin Khan. For this reason, he repeatedly opposed the Eastern Crusade. It's a pity that Yang Guang refused to listen to Xiao Yu's persuasion, but expelled him from the court and relegated him to other places to be a county guard.

In the county guard, Xiao Yu can also be said to have outstanding political achievements. Not only did the people have abundant food and clothing, but bandits were almost extinct in the territory. What's even more rare is that at the beginning of the Li family's army, he saw where the world belonged. resolutely led the whole county to surrender, so that the Li family soldiers obtained thousands of miles of anointed land without blood.

As soon as Li Yuan ascended the throne of the emperor, he immediately awarded Dr. Xiao Yu Guanglu and Song Guogong to virtual and real dignitaries. and put the world's civil affairs in his hands. Several times he announced in public that Xiao Yu was his eyes and arms, and he had the right to "decide to stay in one word" for officials below the third grade. So as soon as Xiao Yu opened her mouth tonight, all the controversy was settled. Even if someone wants to stand up for Li Shimin in their hearts, they are not willing to annoy Xiao Yu and Chen Yanshou at the same time.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Li Yuan no longer insisted on using Li Shimin. After hesitating for a moment, he asked everyone again, "If Shimin doesn't lead the army to the battle, who is more suitable." Do you have a better candidate in mind? ”

"Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong can lead the troops!" The eldest grandson, Shunde, thought about it and proposed with a smile.

"Ahem, ahem, Jiang Gongyong is brave, but the popularity is not enough to convince the public!" Chen Yanshou coughed a few more times, and objected with Qu Tutong's title.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one would help. The eldest grandson Shunde was stunned by Chen Yanshou one after another, and his heart was extremely depressed, so he sneered a few times, and asked in a dumb voice: "General Qu Tu is no longer available, who does Chen Lao think is more able to convince the public?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Chen Yanshou gasped as he spoke, his old face bruised, "Your Majesty, don't forget that there are still two tigers in Hebei." Any westward march is enough to recover Taiyuan! ”

mentioned Li Yi (Luo Yi), the general manager of Youzhou, who was far away in Hebei, and Li Zhongjian, the general manager of Boling, Li Yuan's eyes lit up. But soon, his eyes dimmed again, "I'm afraid this plan won't work." The vicinity of Taiyuan is mountainous, and it is difficult for Li Yi's tiger to play to his strengths. However, the troops under the command of the Boling Grand Governor were already small, and the army was led westward, and the local defense would inevitably be empty. In case Dou Jiande suddenly goes crazy again, I'm afraid he will suffer from the enemy on his back! ”

These words obviously have an insincere element in them. But no one wants to expose it. The six counties of Boling and Youzhou are currently under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but the military and government orders are autonomous. In fact, they are two secession areas under the banner of Datang. If any of the two two armies, the Boling Army and the Youzhou Army, were allowed to advance westward to take Taiyuan, their sphere of influence would inevitably increase dramatically. Although the Tang Dynasty has always delegated power to the local government, the princes are powerful, which is not a good thing for the central court after all.

Even the battle-hardened Li Yi (Luo Yi) was rejected, and everyone couldn't come up with a suitable candidate. The room seemed a little too silent, only Chen Yanshou's coughing was high and low, endless.

"Does the old man still want to drive the expedition?" After not waiting for the answer he wanted for a long time, Li Yuan sighed and said very helplessly.

"No, it doesn't. The lessons of the past are still there, and Your Majesty must not repeat the mistakes of the past! This time, Xiao Yu was the first to stand up and object.

Yang Guang's three expeditions to the east were fruitless, which was the key to his demise. Li Yuan knew this very well in his heart. But he was a little angry but Xiao Yu's tone of speech, sneered, tilted his head and asked, "Shi Wen, do you think that I am also as incompetent as the previous emperor?" ”

"Yang Guang is not a mediocre person, but he is too rigid and self-serving!" Knowing that Li Yuan was already unhappy, Xiao Yu stiffened his neck and stiffened his head.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was so pushed that his throat made a "cluck" sound, and he almost didn't lose his breath. "The former emperor is not mediocre, but just stubborn for his own use. If I don't listen to your advice, wouldn't I be stubborn! While gasping, Li Yuan sneered. I really can't wait to order someone to push Xiao Yu out and beat him up, so that he knows who belongs in this world.

"Exactly!" Xiao Yu was not afraid and replied directly.

"Haha, haha, listen, what is Xiao Lang talking about?" Li Yuan laughed angrily, but after laughing, he quickly calmed down again. Shaking his head, he continued, "You damn Xiao Lang, you won't be tactful. If Lao Tzu follows the mistakes of the former emperor one day, the first person to kill will be you! ”

"Yang Guang easily did not kill the minister. Including Yuwenshu and Su Wei, they all got a good death in the end! Xiao Yu also smiled and continued to let the facts speak.

"Then I'm not even as good as Yang Guang. What do you think! Li Yuan was so angry that he raised his foot and made a gesture to kick Xiao Yu out. I'm really convinced. After suffering losses for so many years in the previous dynasty, he still doesn't have a long memory. Forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't have the same knowledge as you, and if you don't pro-enlist, you won't pro-enlist. In the midst of strategizing, it is still a victory thousands of miles away! ”

"Your Majesty has to be a faint king, and the minister is also open-minded to be a minister who only knows how to greet the minister! It's just that now, Your Majesty may not be able to let go, and the minister has to keep his nature first! Xiao Yu dodged a few steps sideways, and then responded with a smile.

Junchen and the others laughed, forgetting the little unhappiness just now. When the laughter subsided again, the right servant shot Pei Lin stepped forward and said, "If Your Majesty can't find a suitable candidate for a while, the minister is willing to give it a try!" ”

"No, no, no!" No one else spoke to object, and Li Yuan was the first to shake his head to stop, "Qing Zhicai, it should be used on the temple, not in front of the two armies." Besides, I need to ask you about the matter at hand from time to time, and I really don't dare to put you too far! ”

"If you go to Taiyuan, you may not have the certainty of breaking the enemy in a battle, but you can also maintain an undefeated position. After a long time, it will naturally force Liu Wuzhou to retreat! Pei Lin knew that Li Yuan didn't believe in his command ability, so he hurriedly said his initial plan. Besides, after the minister went to Hedong, he could also contact a few heroes for His Majesty, in case he could persuade him to return, and there would be a few more tiger generals in my court! ”

"Oh! Which ones? Tell me about it. Li Yuan's interest was immediately aroused by Pei Lian, and he waited for the next article with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please look!" Pei Lin strode forward and pointed to the map on the side wall of the high hanging house, "Now the Dou family's army is in civil strife, and there is disharmony between the top and bottom. With Dou Jiande's temperament, Cheng Mingzhen must not be allowed to be arrogant under his nose. And Cheng Mingzhen once defeated Chai Shao, although he took advantage of the geographical advantage in that battle, but his ability is still not to be underestimated. If he is cornered by Dou Jiande, the only place he can choose can only be Hedong! ”

"Hmm!" Li Yuan gently stroked his beard while turning his head with Pei Lian's fingers. The name Cheng Mingzhen only officially fell into his eyes last winter. Before that, he only felt that the other party was just a rogue with greater strength, and he might not be able to take the stage. As a result, after Chai Shao returned from defeat, he described the specific details of the battle between the two sides, plus some appropriate exaggerations, and Li Yuan immediately became interested in Cheng Mingzhen in his heart.

Li Yuan has always thought that if he does not have the mind to tolerate the world, he is not worthy of competing for the world. So he didn't hold a grudge against Cheng Mingzhen for defeating Chai Shao at all, on the contrary, he very much hoped to accept this young talent and let him make contributions to the pacification of the Quartet for the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, as soon as Pei Lian said the plan to recruit Cheng Mingzhen, Li Yuan's inclination to lead the troops immediately increased by three points. Although he knew that Pei Lin was cowardly, good at planning and short of decision, he still wanted to give him a chance to try.

"In addition, there are a few heroes, and the minister can contact the nearest one!" Seeing that everyone did not say anything to question, Pei Lin was greatly encouraged. Breathing a sigh of relief, he continued to point out the country, "The Bowang thief King Naruto annoyed Li Mi because he killed Fang Yanzao, and at this moment he hid in the Taihang Mountains like a lost dog. He is not a thousand-mile horse, but he deserves to be a horse bone. As long as he is recruited, he will be entrusted with a heavy task. Li Yuan's fierce generals Wang Junkuo, Xu Maogong, etc., will their minds be shaken? ”

For Wang Deren and Wang Junkuo, Li Yuan was not very interested. But for Wagang Xu Maogong, Li Yuan has been fascinated for a long time. As early as when he was supervising grain in Liaodong, he heard this name from Liu Hongji and others. Later, with the miracle of the Wagang Army's victories over the official army again and again, the name Xu Maogong became more and more popular in his heart.

"Xu Maogong and Li Mi do not agree, that is a well-known fact. But how did Master Pei think that he had a chance to recruit Xu Maogong? The eldest grandson Shunde didn't want Pei Lin to laugh too proudly, shook his head, and asked in a low voice.

"If you don't try, you'll never have a chance!" Pei Lin smiled and responded very confidently. "Give it a try, even if it doesn't work, at least let Xu Maogong know my lord's thirst for talent. When he is cornered one day, he will remember the call of my Lord. ”
