Du He's idea gave Li Shimin a way to the light, so that his eyes lit up, and after a moment of silence, he found that Du He's plan was completely feasible except for being a little insidious, and he couldn't help laughing: "You kid, this is not a common sense means of playing cards, but it is often a wonderful move." In this regard, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can compare with you. ”

Due to the robberies of caravans on the Silk Road, Li Shimin was so worried that he had not rested for three days. There was no good way for the Manchu civil and military to deal with this, and even if they had the ability to reach the sky, they could not change the fact that the area of Gaochang was not under their control. In the face of horse thieves thousands of miles away, they are also powerless.

can only let Li Shimin, in the name of Tian Khan, order Gaochang's Liwentai to let Liwentai handle this matter.

Li Shimin had already passed on the order to Lu Wentai, but it did not work well, and when he had nothing to do, he thought of Duhe. I think that Du He has novel ideas that can give him new feelings at critical times, and often has the effect of guiding the maze.

So he also invited Du He to see if he really had a way.

At first, he saw that Du He had no good plan, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, but in the end, through analysis, he really came up with a clever plan, and he was surprised and delighted, and once again saw Du He's wisdom, thinking of such a talent, for his own use, he couldn't help laughing loudly, and exclaimed: "Giving birth to a child should be like Du Qinglian!" ”

Du He made him blush a little, but he also thought that his ability was a little bit greater than that Sun Zhongmou.

Li Shimin took two steps back and forth and said, "Virtuous son-in-law! You have made a great contribution to my Datang again! He looked excited, and a brilliant blueprint had already appeared in front of him.

He had been thinking about exploring the Western Regions for a long time, but he had never found an excuse for the opportunity. Just as Du He thought, the situation in the Western Regions "affects the whole body", the Tang Dynasty does not move, they can do whatever they have to do, as long as they can coexist peacefully with the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute, when there is an order, they can do what they can, and they will do what they can't do. Anyway, thousands of miles apart, can Datang really hold them accountable for their faults? But once the Tang Dynasty moved, under the cold lips and teeth, those countries in the Western Regions would inevitably come together. With the current economic situation of the Tang Dynasty, it can fight some battles appropriately, but it can't support the large-scale conquests launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Datang is not afraid to be an enemy of the Western Regions, but it also has to consider the livelihood of the people.

This is also the most tragic thing for Li Tang, Li Tang has a pioneering and enterprising emperor, a pioneering and enterprising military strength, and a pioneering and enterprising famous general, but he has no pioneering and enterprising economic strength. In response to the saying, if chaos is followed by rule, and if it does not go through years of development after the great chaos, it is really difficult to launch a large-scale campaign.

Li Tang is in this situation!

It was just Du He's strategy that just gave them an excuse for Li Tang to attack the Western Regions, an upright and grandiose excuse: I, Li Tang, don't want to be enemies of the Western Regions, but Gao Chang bullied him first, but he couldn't let it go.

As long as the Protectorate can be set up in the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty army can be stationed in the Protectorate, this will be the most beneficial deterrent to the tribes of the Western Regions. They will also be able to better grasp the economic lifeline of the Silk Road.

Although Du He's strategy was simple, it found a breakthrough for Li Tang's plan to dominate the Western Regions.

Li Shimin was a rare Ming Monarch Holy Lord, and immediately realized the wonderful use of Du He's plan and the benefits that this plan brought to the Li Tang Dynasty, and his mind completely turned. All kinds of thoughts are pouring in, and the plan to capture Gaochang has been constantly turning in his mind, and he has gradually sorted out a clear thought.

The sadness on Li Shimin's face completely dissipated, he was in a comfortable mood, and laughed: "I have been in a bad mood these days, and my appetite is extremely poor. Now the big thing is decided, and there is a few cups of Yaxing. The virtuous son-in-law might as well stay and have a few drinks with me! ”

Du He didn't refuse, but said: "What the father-in-law asks, the son-in-law naturally obeys." But Changle is waiting at home, and I hope you will send someone to squeak. For more than a month, Changle waited for him to eat with him every night. Sometimes the affairs are heavy, and it is inevitable to delay time, but Changle is still the same. He was so distressed when he saw it, and he persuaded him many times, but Changle said: "It's also a kind of happiness to wait for Du Lang to return home to eat together!" Du He was even more moved when he heard this, and from then on, if there was no really important matter, he would rush home as soon as possible, and sometimes he would have to eat out with friends, and he would also let people know in advance, so as not to wait for a long time.

It's a small thing, but it's a warm feeling between husband and wife.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, in this world of male superiority and inferiority of women, he couldn't imagine that Du He had such thoughts, and he also laughed: "Yes, yes, the virtuous son-in-law loves Changle so much, which is enough to prove that my vision is not bad, and I didn't see the wrong person!" ”

Du He smiled disapprovingly, although he was integrated into the Tang Dynasty, he still had some thoughts of the 21st century in his bones, and he naturally had a different love for his wife than others.

Li Shimin asked him to go to the Pony Mansion to squeak and have fun, pulled Du He to drink and chat, and at the same time asked about the upcoming war, and asked him what his special views were on the next war!

Du He drank a glass of wine, took a few mouthfuls of food, and said after a moment: "It's just Gaochang, and the son-in-law doesn't think it's enough to be afraid." Not to mention the dispatch of the military department Shangshuhou and Zuo Weiwei's general Li, even if the son-in-law is sent, the son-in-law is confident that he will capture Gaochang, but among the countries of the Western Regions, the Western Turks still maintain a certain degree of hostility towards our Tang Dynasty. Our army attacked Gaochang and became famous, as long as it was fanfare and explained the reason, I believe that all countries would not dare to interfere, but the Western Turks could not care. The Western Turks have always been the overlords of the Western Regions, and as the strongest force in the Western Regions, they have always had the intention of unifying the Western Regions and making enemies of our Tang Dynasty. So they won't let us set foot in this part of the Western Regions! If I, the Tang Dynasty, send troops to attack Gaochang, everything else is not to worry about. Only the Western Turks had to guard against it! ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he smiled approvingly: "It's rare for you to see through this, and I am also deeply grateful!" You are right, this battle of Gaochang is actually a war between my Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks. The Western Turks are known as the strongest in the Western Regions, and I want to defeat the strongest and become the strongest. When the time comes, the Western Regions will naturally not dare to be presumptuous. ”

Li Shimin continued to ask: "If you face the Turkic army, how should you be hostile? ”

Du He replied: "It's hard to say, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, there are only living tactics on the battlefield, and there is no way to die." If the son-in-law encounters the Western Turks, the first step will be invincible. My Tang Dynasty soldiers are beneficial to them, and the soldiers are not inferior to them, and the bows and crossbows and arrows are even more stable, and the only thing that does not have an advantage is the geographical environment. So as long as we are invincible, they can't help us. What's more, although the enemy is the Western Turks, the purpose is Gaochang, as long as we approach Gaochang step by step, we are not afraid that they will not come to fight our army. ”

Li Shimin seems to have the intention to test Duhe, and the problem always revolves around the Western Regions.

Du He also lived up to his expectations because he was right, and only a few places couldn't answer because they were really unfamiliar with the terrain and environment. At this time, Li Shimin will patiently explain the situation in the Western Regions, and there are already some precautions.

Du He knew that Li Shimin would not tell him this for no reason, so he listened very carefully. During the conversation, Du He found that Li Shimin knew all the movements in the Western Regions and the distribution of troops in various countries, and as he imagined, Li Shimin's eyes had already penetrated deep into the Western Regions.

The two chatted for half a night, and then stopped, and when they left, Li Shimin specially asked people to send more than ten books related to the Western Regions to Du He, so that he could flip through them.

Seeing Du He's figure disappearing into the twilight, Li Shimin showed an unfathomable smile and asked, "Guohong, what I asked you to check, how did you check?" What did Xin'an make Liu Renliang do in Xin'an! ”

Li Guohong said: "Back to Your Majesty, that Liu Renliang is really an amazing talent, he has only been in power for more than half a year, but Xin'an County has already made him govern in an orderly manner." ”

Li Shimin was not surprised at all, when they first met, he had already seen that this Liu Renliang was a manufacturable material.

Li Shimin looked up at the night sky, looking at the night sky, the stars were dotted, and the vastness of the universe heralded the insignificance of human beings, and snorted coldly: "Lu Wentai, Li Fucheng, but whoever obstructs my great cause, I will never be soft." ”

Du He stepped back to the Pony Mansion in the night, let the family hold the books, and strode to the lobby, if nothing else, Changle would read a book in the lobby and wait for him.

The first time he stepped on the threshold, Changle found him, smiled and got up to greet him: "Du Lang is back?" ”

"Yes! It's back! Du He replied as usual.

"Hot water for the next person to prepare, let's go take a shower first!" Changle stretched out his hand to take his saber and said softly, but his eyes fell on the few books held by the family.

Du He smiled: "This is a gift from your father, and they are all books about Gaochang and the Western Regions!" ”

Changle's pretty face immediately turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "But there is a war? ”

Du He glanced at her unexpectedly, this war had just been decided, only she and Li Shimin knew, how did she know...... Changle asked Jiading to put the book on the table and let him leave, and then leaned on his chest and said quietly: "This is my father's habit, every time he goes out on an expedition, he will first collect all the information, read it carefully, study it carefully, and my father said that when fighting, know more about the enemy, and have a better chance of winning." In your words, it is to know oneself and know one's opponent, and to be invincible in a hundred battles. Father will not give you these books for no reason. ”

Du He stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, smelled her hair, and said, "Don't worry, with such a charming wife at home, I will definitely come back safely." ”

Changle nodded and said, "Let's go see Sister Snow Goose tomorrow, this war is together, and your marriage date is probably going to be postponed." ”
