What Qin Feng didn't know was that after he left, Li Shimin specially invited Fang Mou Du to evaluate his strategy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He led Qiu Yi out of the palace, and on the way home, he asked about Goguryeo, especially Anseongseong.

Anshi City is the only way to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, and it is also an important town for Goguryeo to defend the Central Plains, and Yang Guang's army has also returned with hatred in this important town.

When Qiu Yi came, he had passed by this city, and he knew everything about Qin Feng's questions, and he answered them very carefully according to his memory while thinking about it.

Qin Feng listened in great detail, and when Qiu Yi answered, he couldn't stop asking, and he didn't stop until Qiu Yi didn't add anything.

Qiu Yi couldn't help but ask, "General Qin, what are you asking these for?" Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say that there would be no war anytime soon? "I can hear that Qiu Yi has disappointment, loss, depression, complaints, and dissatisfaction...... There is also a trace of grievance.

Qin Feng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Things are not as absolute as you think, you are waiting for a few days to see, maybe things will take a turn for the better you don't expect." ”

"General Qin, you mean......" Qiu Yi's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up in surprise and joy.

"Look, you may not be alone on your way back, maybe someone will walk with you, maybe that person will be me." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"It would be great if the Great General could go!" Qiu Yi suddenly became cheerful, and the haze in his heart disappeared at once.

"There are some things that have not yet been decided from above, and they cannot be talked about. Let's go, go home with me first, I want to make a sand table for Anshi City. This Anshi Fortress will be the strongest barrier for my Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo, and I hope that with your understanding of it, you can help me. ”

Qiu Yi was not very proficient in the art of war, but he also knew Qin Feng's military level, so he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, general, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you complete this matter." ”

Tai Chi Temple!

The imposing Tai Chi Hall is the most imposing palace in the entire imperial palace. The base of the hall is higher than the slope of six zhang, the main hall is eleven rooms wide, four rooms deep, and is located on the three-layer platform. The front of the hall is divided into Xiangluan, Qifeng two pavilions, the two sides of the hall are the second floor of the bell and drum, there is a flying corridor between the hall, the pavilion and the building, it is connected with the flying corridor, it becomes a "concave" shape, there is the dragon tail road that leans against the platform wall and spirals up under the two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng. Taiji hall in the "concave" shape plane combination of the hall and high pavilion, echo each other, the outline undulating, the volume is huge, the momentum is magnificent, cheerful and brilliant, extremely rich in spiritual deterrence. In ancient times, some people described its spirit as "like the sun" and "like in the sky".

Here is the center of the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, discuss military affairs, depending on the place where the court listens to the government, the emperor ascends the throne, canonizes the queen, the prince, the kings, the princess ceremony and the banquet tributary envoys are also held in this hall, in front of the Taiji Hall this year, a thousand officials also staged a thousand officials to look at Chang'an, the first prosperous era of the Taiji Dynasty in the past and present.

At this moment, the atmosphere in this large hall, which is enough to accommodate thousands of people, is serious.

Li Shimin first stated the matter of Goguryeo, and supported King Rongliu in the name of Tian Khan, and Xiushu strongly pointed at Yuan Dazuo, and the following crimes were extremely heinous, and asked him to immediately restrain himself and ask him to plead guilty.

Qin Feng was a little puzzled when he saw Li Shimin's inexplicable move. But after some careful thinking, I suddenly had to admire Li Shimin's clever methods. His simple words have already been pushed to death by the king and Yuan Dazuo.

It seems that Li Shimin just doesn't care about expressing his opinion, but this "indifference" can have an incomparably huge chain reaction.

The Yuan clan dominated by Yuan Dazuo is extremely ambitious, they have begun to rebel and embark on the road of no return, naturally they will not bind themselves to the guilt as Li Shimin wishes? That's simply not possible.

It's just that the influence of the Tang Dynasty is extremely huge, and it is impossible for Yuan Dazuo not to be anxious about this public support for King Rongliu, let alone continue to fight against King Rongliu. The only thing he could do was to show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty and destroy King Rongliu before the Tang Dynasty sent troops to help King Rongliu.

And although King Rongliu is orthodox, his strength is far inferior to Yuan Dazuo. As soon as Yuan Dazuo sent troops, King Rongliu would inevitably turn to the Tang Dynasty, which had already announced its support for him.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty was able to wave horsewhips behind each other, letting them eat each other's dog-eat-dog, and let Goguryeo lose its national strength in the internal fighting. Datang took the opportunity to gather grain, grass and economy, and prepare for another expedition.

As for the existence of the survivors of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin didn't mention a word, except for Qin Feng and their father and son, only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knew. Li Shimin meant to let them continue to hibernate, waiting for the opportunity to be used as surprise soldiers, of course, Datang would send talents to them as staff officers.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin promulgated new personnel appointments and dismissals, first of all, he dismissed Qin Feng, who had not yet taken office, from the post of secretary of the ministry, and was reappointed as the general manager of Youzhou, with full responsibility for the military and political affairs of a state, and the former soldiers of the Huben Army were once again placed under Qin Feng's account; Li Daozong, the former governor of Youzhou and the king of Jiangxia, was honored as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the six ministries.

Transferring Qin Feng, the god of killing, to Youzhou, a place bordering Goguryeo, to become the chief governor, could it be that he was planning to use force against Goguryeo? Linked to Li Shimin's previous declaration to Goguryeo, this personnel appointment and dismissal immediately caused a big wave in the court.

Since ancient times, no dynasty can avoid the main battle and the two factions, the main battle faction said that only continuous attacks can make the country strong, and the main and faction believe that only without fighting, the banner and the drum to avoid the sword is the only way to make the country strong.

When Li Shimin revealed his intention to fight, the main peace faction in the DPRK and the central government, who mainly ruled the country, immediately jumped out in protest.

The first is Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, by all means, our army has just experienced a great war with the Turks not long ago, and it has not yet recovered. Last year's climate was not good, it was not a bumper harvest year, and the warehouse was not real, which was not conducive to the use of soldiers! ”

Although Qin Feng's Western Route Army barely used the treasury, the pensions of the sacrificed soldiers and the arrangements for the martyrs' families were also a large expenditure, coupled with the daily use of Li Jing and Li Ji's tens of thousands of troops, the treasury suddenly dried up again, and with the current actual situation of the Tang Dynasty, it was really not suitable for fighting.

Kong Yingda, a great Confucian, couldn't help but show off, straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, my Heavenly Empire is based on benevolence, and the small country of Fanbang needs to be based on education." Besides, that is the internal affairs of Goguryeo, and it has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty's sending troops to crusade against the great virtue is against the great virtue, and against the righteousness, it is also nameless! ”

As soon as Kong Yingda's voice fell, before Li Shimin answered, Wei Zheng then stood up, and his words were more powerful than Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda: "Your Majesty." For thousands of years, after the great chaos, it is necessary to rule the country, and only in this way can a country prosper. Since the dawn of time, this has been the case. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty were exempted from the flames of war, attaching importance to production, persuading agriculture and mulberry, building water conservancy, the people and customs were quiet, the family gave people enough, the cattle and horses were all over the field, and the surplus grain was commissioned to the field. The rule of this strong Wenjing created a strong Han Dynasty; Wang Mang was in chaos, the sea collapsed, and the world was in chaos. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of 'Yanwu Xiuwen', developed production, and greatly promoted Confucianism, which laid the foundation of the Later Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, it was no different. Treat the inside inward. Externally, with virtue, so that the state surrendered, the world ruled. Your Majesty, a lesson from the car ahead, a teacher from the car behind. Let's see that Yang Guang has such wealth left by Yang Jian, but he has achieved infamy through the ages because of his reckless military use. If the next day is decided, he will think about opening up the territory and mobilize troops again and again. This move is not good for the country and the people, I implore Your Majesty to think twice! ”

Wei Zheng's words can be described as powerful, loud and loud, word by word, and what he said was spittle. These words, whether intentional or unintentional, have a faint posture of comparing him Li Shimin with Yang Guang.

But Li Shimin still can't refute it, because Wei Zheng takes history as a mirror, and every word occupies a "reason" word. In fact, this is the case, the Lord can develop the economy and make the country strong, but it can make a country's combat power low; The main battle can dominate the four seas and open up the country's territory, but the economy is also consumed too much because of the war, so that the economy cannot keep up, and both sides have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it was not a wrong choice to go to Goguryeo, but it was not a mistake not to fight. But Wei Zheng's temperament was too hard, and he only made Li Shimin angry, and his lungs were about to explode.

Annoyed, he slapped heavily on the desk, banging loudly, startling everyone.

"Zhu Aiqing, Kong Aiqing, Wei Aiqing, who said that I was going to provoke a war? What word or sentence do I say I'm going to send troops? Tell me about it. When did I say I was going to war? ”

"This ......" Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, and Wei Zheng were dumbfounded, and after thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin really didn't say that he was going to send troops.

Li Shimin saw that the three of them were stunned on the spot, his heart was happy, and he had a feeling of bad anger, and after a while, he asked and explained: "You love you too sensitively, this is just a normal personnel transfer, you don't need to pay attention to it too much." Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the people's livelihood is withering, and when Qin Feng served as the governor of Gyeongju and Shuofang, he governed the two places in an orderly manner, which not only reduced the burden of the imperial court, but paid a lot of taxes. This is one of them, as for the second, Goguryeo is on the occasion of seizing power, and the war is also at the touch of a moment, Youzhou and Goguryeo live next to each other, I am worried that the people of Youzhou will suffer an unwarranted disaster, and the mighty Qin Feng sits in Youzhou, which has the effect of deterring Xiaoxiao. Third, Goguryeo has always had ill intentions towards the Central Plains and is full of tricks, who dares to guarantee that the struggle for power is not a trick played by Goguryeo before it invaded the Tang Dynasty? For the above three reasons, after discussing with Fang Du, I felt that Qin Feng was the most suitable candidate. The official department is very important, and Qin Feng is too young, I am worried that he will not be able to do it, so I let him experience in Youzhou for a period of time, so as to use it later. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objections." Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, and Wei Zheng retreated, since it was not a war, everything was easy to say. Thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin's arrangement is indeed very appropriate, the name of Qin Fengren Tu has spread all over the grassland, and with him in charge, it is indeed more deterrent than Li Daozong.
