"Father, Goguryeo occupies my Liaodong, and has repeatedly resisted my Central Plains army, resulting in heavy casualties among the Chinese children, which is really the trouble of my Tang Dynasty's henchmen, so my sons think that they should send troops to seize their cities, destroy their countries, and eliminate their heirs as soon as possible to get rid of future troubles!"

As soon as Li Su's words came out, Wei Zheng and the others secretly shook their heads, feeling that Li Su was too young and his vision was too short-sighted. Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart, thinking that although Li Su was smart enough, he lacked courage and courage, and surrendered under the pressure of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised, he thought that Li Su would oppose the conquest of Goguryeo like everyone else, but he didn't expect that he was the only one who supported him, which made Li Shimin, who was isolated and helpless, feel particularly gratified.

Li Su took everyone's reaction Chapter 39 to fool the emperor's father in his eyes, but he was smiling secretly in his heart, and then said: "Father, although Goguryeo is a small country, but because it is located in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and there are no major changes in the country now, it is not easy to fight. ”

"Okay, it's better to know my heart, quickly tell me about your three strategies for Pingliao, and let me and all the secretaries listen to it." Li Shimin laughed out loud, he finally had a supporter, it seemed that he was still prepared, and he even thought of a plan, and this person is also his own biological son, the so-called father and son soldiers who went into battle, the ancients did not deceive me!

Fang Xuanling was hesitant, could it be that Li Su was perfunctory yesterday, in fact, he had already made up his mind to support the attack on Goguryeo? But this can't be said, Li Su is just an idle prince, how can he care about these military affairs? The other ministers scoffed at Li Su's words, Li Su was only a fifteen-year-old and a half-year-old, and he had never led troops or discussed politics, so how could there be any three strategies for leveling Liao, and it was estimated that at most it was just some shallow views.

"Yes, Father!" Li Su saluted Li Shimin and everyone before saying: "My strategy of fooling the emperor's father in Chapter 39 of Pingliao is based on the actual situation of Goguryeo, and it is divided into three strategies, the first strategy is the strategy of exhausting the enemy: Goguryeo is located in eastern Liaodong, the land is not much, and every summer and autumn is the critical moment for their grain harvest. A few years later, Goguryeo's national strength would be greatly damaged due to food shortage. ”

"Hiss~" Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers listened to Li Su's first strategy, they all gasped, Li Su's plan can be described as extremely vicious, there is a way that 'the people take food as the sky', if Li Su's poisonous plan is really implemented, it is estimated that Goguryeo will not be a big loss of national strength in a few years, but will directly fall into the brink of civil strife and collapse. was able to come up with such an old and spicy plan at a young age, which made Li Shimin and the civil and military officials have to look at Li Su with admiration.

Li Su had completely fallen into his own thinking, and did not notice the reaction of Li Shimin and the civil and military officials, and continued: "The second strategy is called the strategy of discord: Goguryeo is not monolithic, in addition to the monarch Rongliu Wang, there are many generals who hold heavy troops and do not listen to the orders of the monarch, and Rongliu Wang has always wanted to take back military power, I can send a fine work into Goguryeo, or buy or threaten, provoke the relationship between Rongliu Wang and the powerful generals, in order to achieve the goal of division, and even let it break out into civil strife, When the time comes, my Datang will send another army, and I will be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop. ”

"The third strategy is to strengthen the policy: Liaodong is a bitter cold land, especially in winter, especially in winter, if the army cannot conquer Goguryeo before winter, it can only retreat and wait until the next spring to fight again. However, Erchen heard that the state-owned crop of Gaochang is called white stacks, which can not only be used to weave cloth, but also fill the white stacks into clothes to make cotton clothes, which is warmer than fur fur, and if they can be equipped in large quantities, the soldiers no longer have to fear the bitter cold of Liaodong. ”

Li Su sighed after speaking, fortunately he liked history in his previous life, and he knew more about the glorious era of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, in his previous life, the Bangzi Kingdom was always clamoring for Goguryeo, so Li Su deliberately paid attention to the history between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, so he was able to talk eloquently at this critical moment. By the way, Goguryeo is not the ancestor of the Bangzi country, but the small country of Silla is.

After listening to Li Su's three strategies for Pingliao, Li Shimin and the ministers below looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, the last one was okay, they had also heard of Bai Diezi, there were white Diezi sold in Chang'an, but I didn't expect Bai Diezi to be used to make cotton clothes to keep warm. But the first two strategies are more vicious than the other, and it can even be said that they are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, although there is no benevolence and righteousness between countries, but Datang is a big country after all, and the article on the surface still has to be done, and even if it is to be done, it doesn't need to be said so explicitly, right?

However, Li Shimin and the ministers also admitted that Li Su's first two strategies were indeed very good, even if they failed to achieve the expected goal, they could make Goguryeo half-dead, and if they sent troops at that time, they could definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Ahem~, what do you think Aiqing?" Li Shimin was the first to react, and asked the ministers below with some embarrassment. For these two poisonous schemes of his son, he doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad? Li Su is only fifteen years old, where did he learn these vicious methods?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness's first strategy is feasible, Liaodong is already vast and sparsely populated, if it is harassed by a small group of elites, as long as it does not collide with a large group of enemy troops, it can definitely make Goguryeo tired to deal with." Li Jing was the first to stand up and said from the military side that he was a soldier, either you die or I live on the field, and he can do anything to win in order to win, so he appreciates Li Su's strategy very much.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Su meaningfully, and stepped forward with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the old ministers have also heard about the matter of Goguryeo Rongliu Wang, and several generals in his country, led by Quangai Suwen, have heavy troops in their hands, and they are very disrespectful to Rongliu Wang, as the country of the suzerain, how can I let this kind of bullying of the monarch go unpunished?" Therefore, the old minister felt that he should send someone to contact King Rongliu to help him eradicate Gaiquan Suwen and others, and return Goguryeo to a bright and prosperous country. ”

Li Xuan was ashamed after listening to Fang Xuanling's words, educated people are different, look at Fang Xuanling, it is obviously to sow discord, but when it comes to his mouth, he has become the suzerain's country to help the subject country eradicate the traitors. Li Shimin and a group of civil officials smiled when they heard this, and it didn't matter if they were despicable, but they wanted to put on a beautiful coat on the outside of the ugly and despicable. And those generals scoffed at this, and looked at Fang Xuanling with contempt in their eyes.

"Hahaha~, what the two Aiqing said is right, these two strategies are indeed feasible." Li Shimin laughed and said, but quickly turned to Li Su and said: "You are very pleased for my father to have such insight at a young age, but I also know that the white stack I said also knows that there are some planted in my imperial garden, but this thing is expensive, and it is absolutely impossible to fill the clothes as you said." ”

"Father, not working now does not mean that it will not work in the future, Bai Diezi is more drought tolerant, I have a lot of dry land that can not be cultivated in Datang can be planted, as long as the imperial court vigorously promotes, presumably within a few years, the price will come down, the flowers of Bai Diezi can be weaved, the seeds can also be squeezed for oil, and the yield is very large, if it can be planted in large quantities, it is a good thing for both the country and the people."

"I didn't expect His Highness to know so much about the affairs of Nongsang, which really made the ministers feel ashamed! Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to vigorously promote the cultivation of white stacks. Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said very playfully, and also secretly glanced at Li Su, it seemed that he had already understood Li Su's intentions.

"Hahaha~, good! Such a thing that benefits the country and the people, of course, I must vigorously promote it. Li Shimin's mood is better now, and he doesn't know where to throw his anger just now.

"Huh~? No, there is a problem with this Pingliao three strategies! Li Shimin, who was on the rise, suddenly had a stiff face, and he found that he seemed to have been fooled, and he was fooled by his own son. Although Li Su's three strategies for Pingliao are good, they all have a common shortcoming, that is, it takes too long, whether it is harassing the tired enemy or sowing discord, it is not possible to see the effect in a short time, not to mention the white stack, from promotion to real practical application, it is estimated that it will take at least three or four years to do it.

"Hmph, what a desire to catch and indulge, Liuyang, you are young, but you have a lot of eyes." Thinking about this section, Li Shimin snorted angrily and said coldly.

"Father, what did you say about 'wanting to get away with it'? Erchen really can't understand? Li Su opened a pair of innocent big eyes and refused to admit it. Don't look at Li Shimin's angry appearance on the surface, but Li Su knew that Comrade Li was not really angry, and had decided to adopt his strategy and gave up his plan to raise troops to recruit Goguryeo in the near future.

Li Shimin looked at Li Su's appearance of playing a scoundrel, although he had his own style back then, but when he thought of being put on a role by his son, he really couldn't wipe off his face, so he came to Li Su angrily, flew up and kicked Li Su's ass hard, and then shouted: "Playing a scoundrel in front of Lao Tzu, you are too tender!" ”

In this ancient society that pays attention to the rules, it is a matter of course for Lao Tzu to beat his son, Li Su didn't even dare to hide, he was kicked hard, and then he could only look at his emperor father with a look of grievance: feudal society has no human rights, and finally offered three clever plans, and they were also adopted, but not only did they not have a little reward, but they also took a kick, what kind of world is this?

Fang Xuanling, who had long understood his intentions, was smiling, and there was no stupid person present, they all reacted immediately, and they all had a good impression of Li Su, and then looked at Li Su's aggrieved appearance after being kicked, everyone couldn't help but laugh. The relationship between monarchs and ministers before the Song Dynasty was not as hierarchical as after the Song Dynasty, for example, the ministers usually sat like the emperor, and they spoke more casually, and it was very common to make a joke.

After all, Li Shimin is a generation of British lords, although he is eager to conquer Goguryeo, but the strategy offered by Li Su is not only safe, but also better than directly using the army to conquer, there is such a clever plan, of course he will use it, although it takes a little longer, but compared with the price paid by the army, it is definitely good and cheap. Therefore, Li Shimin immediately discussed the details of the implementation of Li Su's strategy with the ministers, and saw that Li Shimin had changed his mind, Fang Xuanling and they were very cooperative at the moment, competing to express their opinions and ideas, and supplementing Li Su's three strategies more completely.

Li Su couldn't intervene in these things at all, and after Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling finished their discussion, Li Shimin did not dismiss the meeting directly, but turned his head to Li Su and said: "Liulang, you first offered the method of making cement, and today you offered the three strategies of Pingliao, both of which are great merits, and of course you must be rewarded for your merits!" However, as a prince, the usual rewards are not suitable for you, so if you want to ask what you want first, as long as it is what your father can give, your father will definitely not be stingy. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's generous promise, Li Su was overjoyed, when he burned cement, he already had a vague plan in his heart, and after careful consideration in the past few days, a rather huge plan has appeared in his hands, if this plan can be successful, then it will not only have an extremely important impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, but also can unite a large number of people with interest groups around him, and greatly increase the strength of his Liang Wangfu. However, there is a very crucial prerequisite for this plan, which is to have Li Shimin's nod, and now is a good opportunity to put it forward!!.
