Chapter 133: Don't talk about killing it
At the same time that Li Yuanji hurriedly whipped up, kept complaining, and returned to Chang'an like a little resentful woman, a bloody storm was also set off in the East Palace.
Nervous, busy, and anxious emotions once again shrouded the top of the East Palace, everyone's faces were covered with anxious expressions, and a feeling of depression always enveloped everyone here.
Wave after wave of unsettled, the depressed mood made Li Shimin almost collapse, sitting on the dragon chair with a blue face, looking at the ministers who were also depressed in the audience.
"Your Majesty, Su Guogong is here!"
"Invite him in!" Li Shimin's face suddenly became happy, as if he had found a savior.
Li Shimin really has no choice at the moment, don't look at the large number of generals under him, but there are few who can really use it.
Qin Qiong is a suitable candidate, and Li Shimin can use him with confidence, but Qin Qiong's body can't withstand such a toss at all, and Li Shimin did not edict Qin Qiong to go to the palace in this emergency court meeting.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, is also trustworthy, most of the anti-kings in Jiangnan were wiped out by Li Xiaogong, but Li Xiaogong himself does not have any particularly strong ability, and it is his deputy Li Jing who has brought so much credit to Li Xiaogong, but Li Jing refused to stand on his side when he was in Xuanwumen, although Li Yuanji used him before, and Li Jing also made great contributions again, but the two who had been estranged, Li Shimin did not want to use him.
Zhang Gongjin is about to get up and go to Daizhou, and he has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have this time.
Li Tao himself also doesn't want to use it, and the rest of Hou Junji Zhang Liang and the like, the heat is still a little less, and he can still be competent as a deputy general, but the coach is a little difficult for them.
After all the calculations, Li Shimin can use it with confidence now, and there are only two capable people, Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde, and the first choice is naturally Wei Chi Jingde.
"Minister Cheng Zhijie see Your Majesty!" Walking quickly to the main hall, Cheng Zhijie restrained his temperament and put on the most upright side.
"Knowing the etiquette is exempt!" Li Shimin hurriedly greeted and continued to ask, "How is the training under Zhijie?" ”
"Barely able to fight, but not the strongest yet." Cheng Zhijie thought about it and said.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed: "How long will it take to become the strongest?" ”
Li Yuanji only used more than 100 untrained guards, and used the so-called new tactics to completely annihilate more than 100 Li Yibu rebels at the cost of zero casualties, while Cheng Zhijie, who had assembled earlier and had been training for ten days, said that he could only barely fight, which made Li Shimin a little suspicious, did Li Yuanji hide a hand?
"It's not easy to say this minister, this set of tactics pays attention to familiarity and tacit understanding between sergeants, as long as these two points are completed, a hundred people dare to lead a thousand people around. And this set of tactics itself has no technical content, and the requirements for generals are almost zero, and ordinary captains, and even brigade commanders, can almost be competent. "Simple, powerful, and able to quickly form a more powerful combat force, this is a method of warfare that all dynasties and dynasties have longed for.
If this is the case, it will be useless for the generals to learn the art of war, because it will not be used at all.
Cheng Zhijie is not brainless, he will not worship and believe Li Yuanji's headless and brainless tactics.
After Cheng Zhijie thoroughly understood this set of tactics, he divided the army into two, one part adopted the existing tactics, and the other part adopted the new tactics, which surprised Cheng Zhijie, that is, the sergeants were not familiar with this set of tactics, and when they were really familiar, they would let hundreds of them easily beat them.
"That's the ability to fight?" Li Shimin didn't have the heart to listen to Cheng Zhijie's evaluation of the new tactics, what he cared about was whether he could fight, Li Yidu had already occupied Fengzhou, and he would soon reach the Chang'an territory, how could he care about anything else?
Cheng Zhijie nodded puzzled, but thinking of the purpose of this court meeting, Cheng Zhijie was stunned and opened his mouth wide in horror: "Your Majesty should not let the ministers lead the troops to quell the rebellion, right?" ”
"What? Don't you dare? Li Shimin frowned, this was not the Cheng Zhijie he was familiar with.
"It's not that the minister doesn't dare, as long as His Majesty gives an order, it will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and the minister will not frown, but this time to quell the rebellion, the minister is not the most suitable person!" Cheng Zhijie said directly.
What the?
Not only Li Shimin, but also several other ministers in the court were also stunned, Cheng Zhijie, who wanted to rush up when he encountered a battle in the past, would now take the initiative to retreat?
No one dares to believe that what they are hearing now is true, is this still the Cheng Zhijie they are familiar with?
Cheng Zhijie rolled his eyes helplessly, fortunately, this time it was a small court meeting, and all the people present were Li Shimin's absolute henchmen, the kind who could discuss major matters, and he didn't hide it, his mouth was open, and he said: "If it's just a simple counterinsurgency, either of the minister and Fang Du can easily solve it, but the minister doesn't want to miss this opportunity." ”
"You mean a real combat opportunity to practice tactics?" Du Ruhui hit the nail on the head.
can make Cheng Zhijie so modest, he will definitely be surprised first, Du Ruhui has also roughly heard about that set of tactics before, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, now that Cheng Zhijie proposed, Du Ruhui instantly saw the problem.
Cheng Zhijie nodded heavily, and said with a solemn face: "Not bad!" For the Turks, this set of tactics is enough for them to sweep the entire grassland, but for our Central Plains Dynasty, just this set of tactics is not enough, the biggest role of this set of tactics is in the field, when encountering a tough battle, it is very powerless, the king of Qi just put forward a concept of horse step union, but the specific situation is not mentioned. ”
Li Shimin was extremely entangled, and he himself gradually gained a firm foothold in the army in the process of continuous counterinsurgency, gathered a large number of military generals and ministers, and finally turned things around through the Xuanwu Gate and ascended the throne as the emperor.
But now, someone told him that these counterinsurgency things must be Li Yuanji.
This made Li Shimin very entangled and depressed.
It's not impossible to use Li Yuanji, but it's impossible to get a huge boost in the combat effectiveness of the Tang army in the short term, from the emperor's point of view, Li Shimin can only use Li Yuanji, let him be the commander, and arrange other generals to study from the side, and learn his things as early as possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.
No one will feel that the armed forces in their hands are too powerful, so they don't want to change it, but how to make a trade-off has become the biggest problem that plagues Li Shimin.
Use? To be or not to use? It's just a thought, but the result is two completely different directions.
"What do you think of Xuan Ling?" Li Shimin threw the problem to Fang Xuanling.
"You can use it too! You don't have to! Fang Xuanling gave an ambiguous answer, this question also bothered him for a long time, but it was not without a solution, and continued: "If it is used, just let the King of Qi hide in the Chinese army to give advice." ”
Fang Xuanling woke up the dreamer with a word, and Li Shimin was also a little inclined to use Li Yuanji in his heart, after all, this was a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty, and as Li Shimin, who was inspired to become a Ming Jun, he was not willing to give up this opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army.
But in the same way, Li Shimin is just a person after all, and if he is a human being, he will have selfishness and his own worries.
Fang Xuanling's idea is good, use him, and don't let people know that it is King Qi who is making suggestions, and he only needs to compensate him for some benefits afterwards, as for Li Yuanji, he should agree.
"Your Majesty should use people without suspicion, and suspicious people should not be used, if this end is opened, what will happen in the future?" Li Shimin was about to nod his head in agreement, but Wei Zheng jumped out again, and the angry Li Shimin wanted to scold his mother.
Wei Zheng's reason is very simple, use it if you want to use it, use it in a dignified and upright way, don't engage in those false things, this will affect your identity as a Ming Jun, since you can have the stomach to keep Li Yuanji and not kill him, why are you afraid to use him? Don't give Li Shimin a chance to steal chickens and dogs at all.
At this time, Li Yuanji didn't know that the court was making a mess in order to use him.
When he came out of Xianyang City, Li Yuanji wrapped himself like a zongzi, even so, his whole body was already cold and biting, and the chill continued to penetrate into his body little by little through the clothes outside and through the skin.
But Li Yuanji, who was depressed in every way, could only endure the cold, it was too embarrassing today, he never thought that he would be so faceless by Wei Chi Jingde, and he never thought that there would be so many eye-catching guys in Cui Ju's mansion, and what kind of master would raise what kind of subordinates.
Before the city gate was closed, Li Yuanji and his party finally arrived in Chang'an, but they encountered some problems when they entered the city.
Seeing these mummy-like processions, the city gate guards closed the gates early, and lifted the drawbridge, and the sergeants were even more in their hands with bows and arrows, waiting for the battle, and they were reluctant to even blink their eyes.
Because it was too cold, Harazi lost most of his mask, and he couldn't even suck it up, so Li Yuanji naturally didn't want to remove the disguise on his face.
In the end, it was Wei Chi Jingde who took down the disguise on his face, and the city gate guards breathed a sigh of relief and reopened the city gate.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Back at the palace, Li Yuanji went into the house without even eating, and the door was locked from the inside, and no one from the outside could enter.
Wei Chi Jingde's side was no different, and the very depressed princess Yang pulled Chunhua, who had already been frozen into a dog, with a puzzled face, and asked.
"I ...... I don't dare to say it, the prince and General Wei Chi will kill me......" Chunhua kept shivering, and said with a trembling mouth, although the room was warm, but for a while, it couldn't warm his cold body like ice.
"Don't you dare to say it to the concubine?" Yang pulled down his face violently, and Yang, who had never given a face to others, couldn't help but put up a score.
"Can't say! I can't say that I was killed! Chunhua stiffened his mouth, and his eyes signaled that there were so many people around, Yang would understand, and waved those subordinates down, Chunhua whispered what happened before: "Your Highness and General Wei Chi ......"
