Chapter 197: Liu Gong's Clever Plan, the Prince Leads the Troops (II)
Li Wei almost said the same thing as his father.
But since Liu Renliang said it, he did have his considerations, and he would not send Li Wei to the fire pit. He calmly replied: "It is precisely to deal with Tibet." Otherwise, His Majesty asked the ordinary generals to go to Yaozhou, and issued a strict edict that they were not allowed to inquire about the affairs of Devil's Mountain, and Yaozhou could be recovered. ”
"But Tubo ......" Li Zhi had no way to continue, even Xue Rengui was defeated, his son, whether he had military talent, he didn't see it much, he definitely didn't have Xue Rengui's strong military ability, as for heads-up, don't look at Xue Rengui's age, one person single-handedly thirty or forty sons, it doesn't matter. If on the horse, with weapons, a hundred sons are estimated to be no match for General Xue. But when this sentence came out, it lost its ambition.
Li Zhi thinks, Liu Renliang knows. He continued: "Dai Xianggong, I remember that last year here, His Highness said a word. On the plateau, our army is not adaptable, and if it is placed on flat ground, it may not be stronger than our soldiers. The place of battle was only in Yaozhou, although there were mountains, but not Qinghai. When His Royal Highness prepares, and then arrives in Yaozhou, it will be the time of spring next year, and the south is humid and hot, and it has not yet reached its peak, which is suitable for my army to fight, but for Tubo, it is not very adaptable. This is the trend of the enemy and the rise of the enemy. It's just one of them. ”
He took out the map again, pointed to it and said, "Have you seen it?" Tubo secretly instructed and helped Meng Jian to capture Yaozhou City, but when Liang Jishou withdrew to Queensland, did he send troops to stop Dai? Look at the Di Bao again, the king of Khotan, Yu Chi Fu Yanxiong and Tubo joined forces to break through Qiuci City, but the Tubo people oppressed heavily, Wei Chi Fu Yanxiong was unhappy and began to resist, and in Qinghai, Tubo was not pacified. At this time, I can't afford to divide many troops to go to Nanzhao, and I don't want to resist our dynasty. So a few months ago, an envoy was sent to sue for peace. ”
The next sentence did not say that the Tubo people did not want to fight with the Tang Dynasty now, but the Tang Dynasty did not want to fight with the Tubo people either. In fact, it is mainly the generals, whether it is Pei Xingjian or Liu Renliang, who have no confidence in victory.
In fact, without the appearance of Li Wei, Pei Xingjian, Liu Renliang, and later famous generals such as Lou Shide, Wei Yuanzhong, Tang Xiujing, and Guo Yuanzhen were all out in history. Only Li Jingxuan and then Wang Xiaojie, who got carried away after the victory in the Western Regions, forcibly launched the big battle. Until the death of the Qin Ling, the Tang Dynasty was only a small-scale temptation, and finally relaunched a large-scale war.
Of course, if he is depressed, like Li Zhi, Liu Renliang is not very easy to export. Then he continued: "The loss of Yaozhou is painless, no matter who the imperial court sends, it can be pacified, we know it, and Tubo also knows it." It is also a reason for the prince to go. ”
"Are you letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be the bait?" Li Jingxuan asked in surprise, but when a bait word came out, he regretted it very much and immediately stopped talking.
"It's not heavy, it's not a big fish," Liu Renliang omitted the bait.
"It's not proper," Li Zhi shook his head again and again: "I'm afraid that the Tubo people can guess it, I heard that the Tubo one talks about the Qinling using soldiers like a god." ”
This is from what Li Wei said, otherwise Li Zhi would have underestimated this person until now.
"You can guess, but so what? Qin Ling can guess our intentions, but he underestimated one point, that is, the military talent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"Lonely, lonely......" Li Wei choked, and he didn't come out alone for a long time.
"Your Highness, don't worry, and listen to what the minister says," Liu Renliang didn't think about other places, in his thoughts, it was not surprising that His Highness didn't have the ability to use troops in Qinling.
"Then we have to send out heavy troops again," Li Zhi muttered. In the first battle of Liang Jishou, there were not many people and horses who were damaged, and the imperial court could afford it, and if there was another big defeat, the Tang Dynasty could not afford to lose money. Tubo is the same reason, although the victory of Dafeichuan in the first battle also allowed Xue Rengui to kill tens of thousands of people, half of which were Tubo soldiers, which also hurt Tubo's vitality.
"No, if the imperial court sends heavy troops, the Tubo people have little interest in Nanzhao, and they will withdraw from Yaozhou City, but waste manpower and financial resources. All you need to do is send thousands of elite soldiers, and then secretly mobilize thousands of soldiers to reinforce them, so that the Tubo people can enter the net. As for Tubo, maybe you will guess it, maybe you won't guess it, and even if you guess, because you underestimated Your Highness, you won't come to the Qinling Tomb in person. However, just in case, the minister also recommended several people to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Who, please?"
"The first person is Xue Rengui in Xiangzhou, but when recalling, it needs to be secretive and not disclosed." This sentence Liu Renliang is very cautious, Xue Rengui's prestige is too prosperous, if Tubo hears about it, it is possible that he did not catch a fish, but he really caught a fish in Qinling, and the prince became a fish instead.
Li Zhi's forehead. This candidate is impeccable, besides, Xue Rengui made a mistake and went from *** to Xiangzhou, which can be regarded as a punishment. It is a pity that a tiger will be exiled like this.
Li Wei also nodded, this character has a very high status in his heart, far surpassing Liu Renliang.
"The second one is Pei Shilang."
When Li Wei heard this name, he was both happy and worried. That is, Pei Xingjian, Pei Xingjian's military talent has not yet been shown, he served as the protector of the Western Regions for several years, transferred back, became Siwen Shaoqing, and soon changed to the Ministry of Officials. It wasn't until Luoyang that Li Wei learned about this person. But I asked, Pei Xingjian didn't fight any big battles when he was in the Western Regions, he had a reputation in the imperial court, and he was famous in the selection of talents in the Ministry of Officials, and the selection of talents was very competent, and Li Jingxuan was called Pei Ma, or he was called Pei Ma with Ma Zai. When it comes to the military, it is his brother Pei Xingyan (Pei Yuanqing's prototype) who is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, although he has been dead for many years, his reputation has not diminished. is also a famous general, but it is far from reaching the heights of later.
Therefore, even when the imperial court discussed Liang Jishou's military action, Pei Xingjian was not called to join. Li Wei felt strange and inquired, but he didn't know the reason until recently. But it's also strange, isn't it true that a good fighter has no outstanding military exploits, but why is he so famous in history?
But the two hardly had any handover, not long after arriving in Luoyang, Li Wei arrived at Shaolin Temple, and after coming back, the court discussed Pei Yuhe as the crown princess, and there were many discussions, Pei Xingjian took the initiative to avoid it, and later because of Pei Yan's matter, Li Wei had almost no good impression of the Pei family. The two have met several times, although Li Wei made a big show and apologized to Pei Yan in a broken manner, Pei Xingjian knew that the prince had a pimple in his heart, in fact, strictly speaking, San Pei is the third room, Pei Judao is the east family room, Pei Yan is the Xian horse room, and Pei Xingjian is the middle family room. However, they are all the Pei family in Hedong, and Pei Xingjian took the initiative to avoid Li Wei.
Liu Renliang said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't underestimate this person. ”
"Yes," Li Wei didn't know what to say.
This person traveled together, and this battle added countless victories, but Li Wei was a little uneasy in his heart. These are cattle people, if you waste the public because of private interests, harm yourself, your own wisdom, most of them can't be prevented.
Of course, Pei Xingjian travels, there is no need to hide it, even the imperial court despises it, not to mention the Tubo people. Unless the Qinling can be calculated, then there is no need to fight, and the Nanzhao will be thrown directly to Tubo.
Then Liu Renliang recommended a third person, who was a *** person. Yangzhou thorn history black teeth are often the same.
"Black teeth are often ......," Li Wei muttered. I have heard of this name, and it seems that he is also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but I can't remember the specific examples. Liu Renliang thought that Li Wei was suspicious, and explained: "Your Highness, this person should not be underestimated, General Su Dingfang had returned to Shun when he conquered the east, because he saw that many of his subordinates were killed and poked by General Su's men, and he was afraid of fleeing, and once defeated our army and recovered more than 200 cities for ***." It wasn't until after the minister defeated the Baekje army that he appeased him. For the ministers to capture the city of Ren Cun and make military achievements. Although it is *** person, please don't doubt it, Your Highness. This man is a hot-blooded man. ”
The resume is so simple, and he is a general who will not be valued by the Tubo people. And with the attitude of the prince, the black tooth Changzhi will definitely be happy to be used by the prince.
After Liu Renliang recommended the three of them, he said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, with the help of these three people and the wisdom of Your Highness, the court only needs to wait for the good news on this trip." Moreover, the root cause of the rebellion of the various ministries of Nanzhao, Tubo is one of the important reasons. Tibet is uneven, and Nanzhao will not be at peace in the future. ”
This sentence is in one sentence. continued: "Tubo on the Qinling Tomb sits in Tuyuhun and the Western Regions, and will not come for the time being, although other heavy generals will be sent to lead troops to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince, but in addition to the Qinling, the rest of the Tubo may not be so brave. ”
In another sentence, Qin Ling's younger brother Zanpo was also very good at using soldiers, but he was still defeated by Hei Ya Chang in Qinghai. Only on the Qinling and the Tang Dynasty were at war, and the battle was won once, and there was almost an insoluble Bosi. The incident has not happened yet, but because of Li Wei's suggestion, a large number of scouts were dispatched, and the rebellion against Tibet was not formed, but more information about Tibet had been brought in. After getting the information, Liu Renliang made this statement. Then he said: "As long as the Qin Ling does not come in person, His Highness will win this trip." The gains will also be very abundant, and there may even be a reversal of the decline of the previous year's defeat. As long as they win, the Tubo tribes can see hope, and the Tuyuhun and the Western Regions will resist and even fiercely. Tibet will not perish, but at least it will disintegrate somewhat. ”
The imperial court has already sent some supplies out, and of course, it is still far away to count on a large-scale resistance from these tribes. If you hear about the defeat of Tibet, it can be regarded as giving these tribes some confidence. Such an arrangement, somewhat similar to Tian Ji horse racing, is also a lost idea. But there is merit in the military, but in Li Zhi's heart, Pei Xingjian and Heizhi Changzhi do not pay much attention, and they pay attention to Xue Rengui. Suddenly believing and doubting in his heart, Liu Renliang said again: "Your Majesty, I believe in Weichen, if you fail, take the minister to ask." But just in case, as long as Your Majesty does a few more things, Tubo can believe it even more. ”
"What do you want me to do?"
"As long as Your Majesty sends an edict to let Pei Sheren serve as a salt and iron envoy, and then reward King Yong, you can."
Listening to Liu Renliang's words, Li Zhi choked. Dai Zhide and others all laughed. The idea is a good idea, and it hurts Li Zhi a little. The salt and iron envoy is inextricably contested, and it is an official position that is easy to be greedy for ink, no matter what psychological reason Pei Yan writes, he is a Qing minister, at least the appearance is sanctimonious, but he is very competent as the salt and iron envoy. But it's not Liu Renliang's suggestion, which will make people think about it. Originally, Li Zhi's various restraints on the crown prince were about to the point where Zhu Jing was indignant in the court. There are many discussions between the government and the opposition, and the people of Tubo will not be unaware. This edict makes it easier for people to mistakenly think that the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince, so he let the prince go to the front. The Tubo people will despise it even more, in any case, the prince is the prince, and capturing the prince will undoubtedly increase the morale of the Tubo, and even have great benefits to pacify the Western Regions and Tuyuhun.
But the common people will be even more dissatisfied with Li Zhi.
"This, no, need, want," Li Zhi was so angry that he said it four times.
"Your Majesty, the world, is Your Majesty's world, defeat to Tibet is the shame of our dynasty, it doesn't take much civilian and military strength to get great merit, Your Majesty can't tolerate the people's temporary misunderstanding?" Liu Renliang said again.
"Let's talk again," Li Zhi said, but reluctantly agreed, and in the end he was still not at ease, and made a holy decree, called two imperial doctors, and took a look at Li Wei's condition for him, after all, he went to Nanzhao, although he avoided the hot summer, it was also a wild place. Because there are many joints in it, I agreed that Liu Renliang took the initiative to ask Ying to come and give a detailed explanation. But whether to go or not, Li Zhi instructed Liu Renliang before leaving, to follow the prince's wishes.
"Your Highness," Bi'er nervously tugged at Li Wei's clothes.
"Jiang Liangyuan, you underestimate His Highness," Liu Renliang immediately said when he saw Bi'er's small movements.
Li Wei couldn't laugh or cry, Bi'er didn't look down on her, you looked up to it. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
