In contrast, Li Xiu saw that Li Jing was as usual, because he had long regarded the other party as a person who had nothing to do with him, and even when Ping'an Lang and Jin'er were born, he didn't invite Li Jing, but only notified the Red Whisk Girl, in fact, now the only contact between Li Xiu and Li Jing is the Red Whisk Girl.

"Minister Li Jing see Your Majesty!" Li Jing saw that Li Xiu was a little embarrassed, but this was in the Liangyi Palace, and he also solemnly saluted Li Shimin at the moment, he remained neutral at the beginning, so although he was not hit after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was not reused, but because of Li Xiu's proposal, he was appointed to form the military academy of the Tang Dynasty and served as the head of the military academy, but last year because of the Turkic civil strife, the frontier needed people to guard, so he was transferred to the frontier again, and was not transferred back until more than a month ago, and was appointed as the secretary of the military department, At the same time, he still serves as the head of the military academy.

"No need to be polite, I summoned you this time, in fact, there is an extremely important matter to discuss with you, you can take a look at this piece in Wuji's hand first!" Li Shimin smiled and pointed to the fold in the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji, that is, the six reasons for attacking the Turks written by Zhang Gongjin.

At that moment, the eldest grandson Wuji handed over the fold in his hand to Li Jing, and when Li Jing saw the content of the fold, he immediately understood what Li Shimin's so-called "extremely important matter" meant, so he quickly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty has been preparing for war for a long time, and it must have come time to make a move against the Turks!" ”

Hearing that Li Jing guessed his intentions, Li Shimin was not surprised at all, after all, with Li Jing's ability, it is normal for him to be aware of his preparations for war, although he has been doing this in the name of expanding the army, and in the hearts of many people, the Turks are still a behemoth, and they have never thought of taking the initiative to attack, but Li Jing's art of war everyone can definitely see his intention to prepare for war.

"Yes, I think the time is ripe to attack the Turks, and even at the beginning of the year, I have made this decision, and now after a year of preparation, the Turks are still in turmoil, and it is an excellent time for us to send troops, and looking at all the generals, I think that only you are capable of being the candidate for the general, I don't know what you think?" Li Shimin nodded immediately.

However, hearing Li Shimin personally admit that he was going to attack the Turks, Li Jing did not show too excited expression on his face, but pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not too good time to send troops now!" ”

"Oh? Why? Li Jing's answer not only surprised Li Shimin, but Li Xiu and eldest grandson Wuji also looked at him with surprised eyes at this time.

"Your Majesty, it is autumn now, although there is still a period of time before winter, but the northern grassland climate is cold, as long as it enters winter, it may snowstorm at any time, if there is a snow disaster like last year, it will have a serious impact on the army, if the logistics supply is not available due to the snow disaster, it may even make the army in danger of annihilation."

When he said this, he saw Li Jing pause for a moment and then said: "Jieli is not a stupid person, he must also know the above, so if we send troops now, there is not a lot of time left for us, and then the Turks will definitely believe that as long as they can hold out until winter, then our army may be in danger due to cold and snow, in other words, unless we can destroy the Turks before winter, but with the strength of the Turks, it is too difficult to destroy them in such a short time!" ”

"It's really more difficult, but it's not impossible, you can also see the Turkic civil strife, it can be said that now Jieli has fallen into the rebellion of the people, as long as we find the opportunity, with a force of elite soldiers into Jieli's lair, lightning to capture or kill Jieli alive, then the general trend has been decided, the Turks will naturally be wiped out!" Li Shimin insisted on his own point of view, he had also thought about the disadvantages of sending troops now, but he was also very confident in the strength of Datang.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic threat to my Datang is no longer a day or two, compared to the autumn troops, the minister feels that it is better to wait a few more months, and wait until tomorrow after the beginning of spring, the grassland people have been struggling for a winter, horses, cattle and sheep are very thin, it can be said that the strength of the Turks at this time has been reduced to the minimum, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the less the danger of snow disasters, and the Turks have no cold winter to rely on, if I send troops to the Tang Dynasty at this time, it is far more certain than sending troops now, and the time is more abundant!" Li Jing once again put forward his own suggestion, saying that he believed that it was far more certain to send troops in the spring than now.

"Li Shangshu, although your words are reasonable, but if you attack the Turks after the beginning of spring, there is no threat of winter, Jieli can flee to the Mobei area at any time, and if Jieli is not captured, then the Turks will not be extinct, and even he can make a comeback at any time, but if you send troops now, Jieli will have no way to escape, so the risk and harvest of our early land are actually corresponding!" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled and spoke.

The northern grassland is also divided into north and south, of which the south is close to the Tang Dynasty, the grassland is abundant, very suitable for grazing, has always been the grassland tribes must fight for the place, it can be said that who occupies the southern part of the grassland, who is the overlord of the grassland, such as the former Xiongnu, and now the Turkic, in contrast, the grassland is more north is a desert and the Gobi, where the environment is harsh, only a few tribes can survive, before the grassland people can not beat the Central Plains, will flee to Mobei, for example, the former Xiongnu was chased and killed by Huo Qubing to Mobei, Eventually, he fled to Central Asia.

It is also the harsh environment of Mobei, in the spring and summer, there can barely survive, but every autumn and winter, Mobei will become a treacherous no-man's land, desert, snow disasters, winds, etc., can make a huge tribe disappear in the wasteland of Mobei, so the eldest grandson Wuji said that now to send troops, Jieli does not dare to flee to Mobei.

"Yes, I also think so, the greater the risk, the greater the gain, I want to destroy the Turkic threat in one fell swoop, and then divide and disintegrate the tribes on the grassland, and completely solve the threat of the northern grassland to my Datang!" Li Shimin agreed at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being his most important assistant, and he can think of going with him every time.

"The harvest is very large, but the risk is also very high, and the climate on the grassland is changing rapidly, no one is sure that there will not be a heavy snowstorm like last year, in case the army goes deep into the grassland, and the snow disaster cuts off the supply behind the army, no one knows what will happen, so please consider carefully!" Li Jing still insisted on his thoughts, he didn't like to take too many risks, even if he knew that the adventures brought great gains.

Seeing that Li Jing and his own opinions were different, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a displeased look, but this time he used troops against the Turks, except for Li Jing, he really didn't worry about letting others be the main generals, so it was not easy to attack, just when he saw that Li Xiu had not spoken, so he immediately asked: "Li Xiu, what do you think?" ”

Li Jing saw that Li Shimin actually asked Li Xiu's opinion at this time, and he couldn't help but look at his son in surprise at the moment, although he had long heard that Li Shimin believed in Li Xiu very much, and even many people said that Li Xiu had the ability to influence the situation, but he had never seen Li Xiu participate in military and political affairs.

Li Xiu was also thinking about this matter at this time, in the original history, Li Jing did send troops after the beginning of spring, and killed Jieli's lair with strange soldiers, and then captured Jieli in one fell swoop, thus destroying the Turks, but as far as he knows, Jieli was initially defeated, while asking Li Shimin for peace, while also preparing to transfer the soldiers and horses to Mobei, planning to wait until the grass and horses are fattening to make a comeback, fortunately, Li Shimin pretended to agree, and sent someone to appease Jieli, but secretly let Li Jing suddenly send troops, which caught Jieli by surprise, Otherwise, if Jieli is really allowed to escape to Mobei, then Datang's efforts this time will be in vain.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees to take a risk!" Li Xiu weighed it for a long time, and when he heard Li Shimin's inquiry, he also stepped forward and said, history has been messed up by him, so he doesn't dare to guarantee that Jieli will be as careless as in the original history.

In addition, Li Xiu also thought that now the strength of the Turks is greatly weakened compared to history, Jieli has been fighting with the surrounding tribes, and the strength of the army has been greatly weakened, and people without strength often become very timid, in case the Tang Dynasty sends troops, Jieli is likely to flee to Mobei alertly, not to mention that now the Tang Dynasty has gunpowder to help, the food is also sufficient, and the combat effectiveness has increased several times compared to before, and it is not impossible to destroy the Turks in a short time.

"Haha~, it seems that Li Xiu and Wuji both agree with my idea, so what do you think, pharmacist?" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard Li Xiu's words, it was rare for the three of them to have such a unified opinion, and he also believed in the vision of Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji, so he was even more convinced of his choice of the timing of the army.

"This ......" Li Jing heard that even Li Xiu agreed with the adventure, and he couldn't help but hate it in his heart at the moment, although there was a very stiff quarrel between their father and son, but in his opinion, he was Li Xiu's father after all, and he should also stand with him in this kind of big event, but he didn't expect him to stand on Li Shimin's side, which made him also angry, but he forgot how he treated Li Xiu's brothers and sisters in the first place?

"Pharmacist, if you don't want to, then I can only change someone to be the main commander this time!" Seeing Li Jing's hesitation, Li Shimin said again unhappily at this time, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't replace Li Jing, he wouldn't have accommodated him so patiently.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go, but the minister has a request!" Hearing that Li Shimin was going to be replaced, Li Jing finally gritted his teeth and said, and when he said this, he suddenly looked up at Li Xiu.
