Chapter 58: Qi Wangce

What to do? Interpretation?

It doesn't seem to be useful to explain.

Don't explain? Let it go?

Will this die faster?

"How can the Turkic army of 200,000 not have this ability? Did the Turks really not know that Chang'an lacked soldiers and horses? Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind, and couldn't help but be angry.

Forget it, or don't explain it, let me think about how the Turks withdrew their troops in history?

"200,000 troops are a lot, but they can drag down the Turks, and it is this 200,000 army, the longer the battle line, the longer it is supported, the more unfavorable it is to the Turks. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Turks have gone south so smoothly that they have hardly encountered any decent resistance, and my Tang Dynasty is not without soldiers, if they can't capture Chang'an, when my Tang Dynasty King arrives in Chang'an, it will be the day of the destruction of the 200,000 army.

Therefore, this time the Turks seem to be menacing, but there is no need to worry, what the imperial court needs to do is nothing more than two points. Li Yuanji quietly glanced at Li Shimin.

The explanation is inexplicable, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating to explain in front of a person who is absolutely impossible to trust him, and the only thing he can do is to analyze the pros and cons of this matter, and I believe that Li Shimin's think tanks can also analyze it, as for his own life, he can only run away if he can't do it.

The idle prince is very good, but Li Yuanji is not really willing to pin his life and death on others, he has been the king of Qi for so many years, and he still has some henchmen, and he naturally has the means to save his life.

I hope Li Shimin won't be blinded by impulse, otherwise he can only take extreme measures.

"Which two?" Li Shimin asked subconsciously, he didn't expect Li Yuanji to know so much about the Turkic situation, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, is the power in his hands really so big?

If so, would you be able to kill him? After killing him, will his forces avenge him?

At this moment, Li Shimin hesitated again, the unknown is always the most terrifying, what is known, but there is something that cannot be seen, which is more terrible than the unknown.

"The first point, prepare gifts, form an alliance with the Turks."

Li Shimin nodded, this is the most commonly used method throughout the ages, to exchange the covenant of alliance with relatives for development time, waiting for the counterattack in the future.

To say that the grassland people are really stupid, this method has been used countless times in the Han Dynasty, and then all dynasties have also used it, but the final result is without exception, those Saiwai dynasties were all beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty and couldn't find their mothers.

"What about the second point?"

"Dispatch troops, in the secret ambush of the Turkic return army must go through, only attack the Jieli Department, the formation should be large, it is best to put on a posture of swallowing the Jieli Department, but the attack must be moderate, not to let the Jieli Department hurt the muscles and bones, in addition, to frighten the Turkic Department, so that the Turk Department does not dare to support. As for the losses, how much can be recovered, if this can be done, before the Tang Dynasty is ready, the Turks have no intention of going south again. Li Yuanji said calmly.

The calm pretending to be a forced face gives people an unfathomable feeling.

But in fact, what Li Yuanji said was just what really happened in history, although Li Yuanji did not know whether Li Shimin's think tank had made this suggestion at this time, but at least it also proved his strategic vision.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind quickly rotated, thinking about the feasibility of what Li Yuanji said.

Defending Chang'an, Li Shimin is naturally confident, there are dozens of generals in the city, each of whom can't use up a section of the city wall, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, if you add the forbidden army, there are more than 30,000 people, and there is naturally no problem until the reinforcements arrive.

It's just that the Turks are really as Li Yuanji said, and the two khans are not in harmony with each other? If all the rehearsals are as Li Yuanji said, this matter will naturally be very manipulative.

Datang is not short of soldiers.

The government military system has made the combat effectiveness of the Tang army reach an unprecedented height, and the strict screening system has made every member of the Tang army strong and strong, which is also a powerful guarantee for combat effectiveness.

But Chang'an lacked troops.

Because Li Shimin sent all his troops out before and sent them to various places to prevent the occurrence of rebellion.

In the army, Li Shimin was naturally confident that he could ensure that more than 80 percent of the army would obey his command, but at the local level, Li Shimin did not have this kind of self-confidence, and Li Shimin was afraid of rebellions in various places, so he dispersed and dispatched the army as early as after the success of Xuanwumen.

In order to hide people's eyes, none of those generals were recruited, all of this was carried out unknowingly, and even in the entire court, there were not many people who knew about this matter.

However, Li Yuanji knew, what else did he not know?

"What if the Turks sent people to infiltrate Chang'an City in advance? The inside should be combined with the outside, and no matter how strong the walls are, they may not be their opponents. Li Shimin asked pretending to be indiscriminate.

"There are some differences between the appearance of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, it is still easy to distinguish, just strengthen the guard in Chang'an, and once the Turkic army approaches Chang'an, immediately control these people." Li Yuanji blurted out without thinking, do you still need to ask such a simple question?

"What if the Turks bought off the spies?"

"Then it's simpler, just the court only needs to issue a military control order to solve the problem, strictly prohibit all the people from leaving the streets, if there is nothing important, it is forbidden to go out, the court only needs to send a small number of troops to patrol the city, the people's daily needs, can be ordered to buy in advance, or the court is responsible for transporting." The so-called military control order may be put in the daytime curfew in Li Shimin's view, but Li Yuanji's so-called military control order is not so simple.

It's just that he and Li Shimin are not of the same heart at this time, and Li Yuanji doesn't want to say anything, saying more is useless, but will bring trouble to himself.

Li Yuanji's plan is indeed very feasible, a near-perfect solution, bold and delicate, it can be said that every step has been calculated, and it is impossible to make such a plan without a large amount of intelligence support.

How nice would it be if he wasn't royal? In this way, Datang will be able to add another peerless general with both civil and military skills.

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly in his heart, such a perfect strategy, a prince with countless forces, Li Shimin really felt the pressure and threat.

A prince with such power and brains, is he really willing to be an idle prince?

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask himself, with the talent that Li Yuanji is showing now, Li Shimin asked himself, but even he has worked hard to sit on the throne, even unscrupulous means, will Li Yuanji give up this temptation?

But if he couldn't give up, why didn't he do it when he was in the Xuanwu Gate? Why did he propose to Li Jiancheng to kill himself several times, but after Li Jiancheng refused, he didn't do it himself?

Everything has formed a huge question mark in Li Shimin's heart.

He couldn't figure it out, he was very entangled, he wanted to know the truth of everything, he believed that what Li Yuanji said before was definitely not the truth, he wanted to kill Li Yuanji to ensure the stability of his throne, but he didn't dare to kill it, for fear of causing more evil consequences.

'Damn Shadow! Why can't I catch you? ......' Li Shimin couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, Li Yuanji's secret power was called a shadow by him, he could see it, but he couldn't catch it, and the shadow was the biggest worry he lended.

Fiercely looked up at Li Yuanji, kill! Or not kill?

"Let's talk about the protection money!"
