Hearing that Li Shimin really planned to attack the Turks, Li Xiu was also in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty has anything that you can't decide?" ”

"If you want to attack the Turks, you must use the power of the whole country, with the current national strength of my Datang, I am afraid that there is only one chance to take the initiative, but now I can't make up my mind, I don't know who to send to lead the army, after all, this time is related to the national fortune of my Datang, originally I planned to drive the royal family to calculate, after all, I am not very at ease with others, but Wuji is desperately opposed, and I also know that other ministers will definitely not agree, so I can't make up my mind for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Shimin also showed a hesitant look on his face when he said the end.

"Your Majesty must not take any risks yourself!" When Li Xiu heard that Li Shimin wanted to drive the expedition in person, he immediately expressed his attitude, and then thought about it before continuing, "I have countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, but some of these generals are good at attacking and some are good at defending, so it can be said that they have their own specialties, and it is indeed difficult to choose a suitable person from among them. ”

"I thought the same way, and even wrote down the names of all my famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and then considered them one by one, and finally finally screened out three people, but these three people have their own strengths, and I have never been able to make up my mind in the end." Li Shimin was also quite distressed at this time, it is true that it is desperate that no one is available, but there are too many people available, and it is a headache to pick one of them.

"I don't know which three generals?" Li Xiu also asked curiously at this time.

"Li Jing, Li Ji and Li Daozong!" Li Shimin picked out the three people he chose at the moment.

"Sure enough!" Li Xiu also said secretly in his heart when he heard this, in fact, he also weighed it in his heart just now, and found that although there were many good generals in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many generals who could really lead the army and reassure Li Shimin, and the three people Li Shimin said were all in Li Xiu's speculation.

"Li Ji followed me to level Wang Shichong, destroy Dou Jiande, cut down Liu Heimin, made countless meritorious contributions, and was good at calculation, bold in the use of soldiers, for his ability, I believe very much, but Li Ji likes to seek danger with soldiers, and winning in danger can expand the results to the maximum, but it is also too dangerous, and if you are not careful, it may lead to the danger of annihilation of the whole army."

"Li Daozong is my cousin, and he has been charging with me since he was seventeen years old, although he is not as brave as Qin Qiong and others, but he is a general trained by me, and he is also the most like me in terms of soldiers, and he has also made great achievements for my Tang Dynasty, and he is my cousin, and I can rest assured that the army will be given to him, but he is too young, he is not yet thirty years old this year, and if he leads the army at his age, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Li Shimin commented on the advantages and disadvantages of Li Ji and Li Daozong one after another, Li Xiu thought that he would continue to talk about Li Jing, but what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin suddenly paused when he said this, and turned to him with a smile: "Li Xiu, Li Jing is your father, although your father and son are not in harmony, but you probably know him better than me, so I want to hear your opinion on Li Jing's candidate?" ”

Seeing that Li Shimin actually asked his opinion of Li Jing, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Why should Your Majesty be a difficult minister? ”

"It's not that I'm embarrassed for you, in fact, in my heart, Li Jing is more suitable than Li Daozong and Li Ji, because his talent is indeed higher than Li Daozong, but his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is not trusted by me, and I am really a little worried about the main force of the army in the store I handed over to him to command!" Li Shimin said with a smile at this time.

When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng competed for the throne, Li Jing was a staunch neutral, neither side helped, whoever won he would be loyal to whom, although it was safe, but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Li Jing was not as favored as Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, not to mention Li Jing, even Qin Qiong, who did not do his best because of his uneasy conscience during the Xuanwumen Incident, was snubbed by Li Shimin, this is not Li Shimin's cautious eyes, but to show his attitude, so as to be worthy of those who follow him to take risks.

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Xiu smiled bitterly again, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Your Majesty has actually analyzed it very correctly, although I am at odds with the other party, but I still admire that person's art of war very much, except for Your Majesty, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will not be able to find another general who is more powerful than him." ”

Li Xiu paused when he said this, thought for a moment and then said: "As for Your Majesty's concerns, I think it's a little redundant, after all, if you want to attack the Turks, you will definitely have several armies in unison, and you will definitely need to distinguish between priorities and priorities, even if Your Majesty lets that person be the commander and control the armies, but the armies of other roads are mainly in the hands of their respective generals, and these generals must be Your Majesty's henchmen, so as long as the other party is not stupid, there will definitely be no other thoughts!" ”

"It makes sense for you to say that, but I didn't expect you to support Li Jing in charge of attacking the Turks?" Li Shimin also nodded when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then said a little teasingly.

"The Turks are the mortal enemies of my Datang, and they will not be destroyed for a day, and it will be difficult for my Datang to be at peace for a day, so as long as the Turks can be destroyed, other things can be put aside for the time being!" Li Xiu said with a righteous face at this time, and when he said this, he thought of the ordinary people who were killed when the Turks went south, as well as Zhao Deyan and those flying slaves who did not hesitate to risk their lives, compared to this, this personal grudge between him and Li Jing was nothing at all.

"I really didn't misunderstand you, in the face of righteousness, these subsections are indeed nothing, with your words, I finally made a decision, then let Li Jing be the main general, Li Daozong and Li Ji and others assist, but unfortunately now is not the time to send troops, after all, we can't even get military rations now, I hope we can meet a bumper harvest year this year, and after the autumn harvest, it is the time to send troops!" Li Shimin patted Li Xiu's shoulder at this time and said, when he said the end, his face also showed a bit of murderous anger, and it was time to end the grievances between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Talking about the Turks, Li Shimin and Li Xiu were very excited, after confirming Li Jing as the main general, the two discussed the details of the attack on the Turks, although Li Xiu did not know much about the military aspect, but he knew Li Shimin's war to destroy the Turks in history, and he was familiar with gunpowder, hot air balloons and other new weapons, these things have been applied to the war, so Li Xiu has more say than others.

Jieli, who is thousands of miles away, probably never dreamed that his fate would be decided on the last day of this Shangyuan Festival!
