Li Shimin was taken aback, and asked Liu Xun with a hesitant face: "Can you not record the matter of bribing the Turks in the history books?" ”

Liu Xun asked rhetorically: "Isn't Your Majesty sure that he will become a generation of Ming monarchs or the lord of the fallen country in the future?" ”

Li Shimin said with emotion: "How can I be willing to be the lord of a dead country? But I am facing a country that has been torn apart by decades of war, and I am walking in the dark, and the road in front of me is shrouded in darkness, and I can hardly see a trace of the future? With great ambitions, courage after shame, and hard work, I can do it at my own expense, no matter how much suffering I suffer, no matter how tired I am, I am not afraid. But after all, the Turks are an unusually powerful opponent, the Turks are west to the Western Regions, east to Goryeo, north to Mobei, and the south borders my Tang Dynasty and the state, the territory is twice as large as my Tang Dynasty, and there are more than 400,000 people who control the strings and show their blades. ”

Liu Xun said loudly: "Where there is a will, it can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the hundred and two Qinchuan will eventually return to Chu; Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. ”

What Liu Xun said is two allusions to the destruction of the cauldron and the sinking of the boat, and the courage to be drunk. It tells the story of Xiang Yu leading 8,000 children to cross the Yellow River to rescue the giant deer in the capital of Zhao who was besieged by 400,000 Qin troops in the last years of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu had a feud with the Qin State, in order to be able to defeat the Qin State, after crossing the Yellow River, Xiang Yu ordered to scuttle all the warships, break the iron pot used for cooking, and only bring three days of dry food and 400,000 Qin troops fought nine fierce battles, and finally defeated the powerful Qin army; The lying salary taste is about the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue State was destroyed by the Wu State, the Yue King Goujian slept and lay on the firewood and grass, and tasted the bitter gall before eating and sleeping, so as to motivate himself to work hard, only ten years later, the Yue State not only recovered the country with difficulty, but also annexed the powerful Wu State. Liu Xun's whole paragraph shows that as long as you have ambition, God will not disappoint, and you will definitely succeed in the end, so as to encourage the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Liu Xun's words shocked Li Shimin and everyone in the hall.

Liu Xun continued: "As long as Your Majesty has great ambitions, shame and courage, and makes great efforts, I, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely do their best to support Your Majesty. ”

"In less than three years?" Li Shimin was surprised.

Liu Xun replied affirmatively: "Yes, in less than three years, my Datang will definitely be able to completely defeat the Turks and wash away the shame." ”

Li Shimin was greatly encouraged and said energetically: "You should remember it according to the truth and write down this in the history books." I have made up my mind to bribe the Turks with the wealth of the Tang Dynasty treasury to retreat the strong army. I had no choice but to bury my head and move forward until I could get this dying nation to stand up and defeat the Turks once and for all. There is such a big burden that weighs me all the time, maybe it's not a bad thing for me, I only have one way to go now, and that is to try to do Gou Jian and make Datang strong. ”

Everyone in the hall knelt down, their eyes moistened, and they said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin with excitement: "The ministers are willing to do their best to assist Your Majesty, achieve great causes, and make our Tang Dynasty strong as soon as possible." ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin also had tears in his eyes and said: "I am willing to build a great cause and create brilliance with Zhongqing." ”

After everyone got up, Li Xuan slowly walked to Li Xiong and Changsun Wuji, handed them two pamphlets and said, "I hope these two books can help Zong Zhengqing and Changsun organize the people and harass the Turks." ”

Everyone knew that Li Xuan was a fairy and had many treasures on him, so they gathered around him to take a closer look.

Li Xiong slowly opened the booklet: one is "The People's War", which tells how to launch, organize, and arm the people, use the strength of all the people to fight the invaders, defend the country, and defend the nation; The other book is "Guerrilla Warfare", and when I open the cover, what catches my eye is the 16-character policy of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase".

Tang Emperor Li Shimin muttered: "People's war? The power of the common people? What power can the common people have? They are so weak, how can they withstand the attack of the Turks? I sent King Guande and Wuji to Guanlong this time, hoping that they would mobilize their own clan troops and delay the Turkic attack. Those helpless ordinary people, it's better to keep them away from the war, don't give your life in vain. ”

Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Li Xiong and the eldest grandson Wuji, and found that Li Xiong and the eldest grandson Wuji also agreed with Li Shimin's idea. Li Xuan felt that there was really a big generation gap between him and these people, so he could only explain: "What these two books talk about is the way for the weak to survive. "People's War" is about strategy, while "Guerrilla Warfare" is about specific tactics. The two complement each other and are extremely productive. Please Your Majesty and all the adults should not underestimate the strength of the people, every one of them is like a drop of water, seemingly insignificant, can be erased at will, but if thousands of people are united in an organized and purposeful manner, it is not something that anyone can erase at will, it is a great flood rushing down. Those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. As long as King Guande and Lord Changsun did what was written in these two books, what about the 400,000 Turkic army? They will be completely caught in the vast sea of the people's war, trudging with great difficulty and unable to extricate, and will eventually be besieged and submerged by the flood formed by the people, until they completely disappear and have no sound at all.

Li Xuan's words shocked everyone in the hall, and after the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was even more silent, he questioned: "What King Yong'an said is reasonable, but those ordinary people really have such a terrifying power?" ”

Li Xuan replied affirmatively: "The strength of the people is immeasurable. The minister dares to guarantee: As long as King Guande and Lord Changsun implement it according to what is written in "People's War" and "Guerrilla Warfare", the people of my Tang Dynasty will definitely make the Turkic people suffer a lot and be unbearable, and they are eagerly looking forward to escaping from the land of Guanlong as soon as possible and returning to the grassland. ”

Seeing that Li Xuan said so confidently, Tang Emperor Li Shimin said with anticipation: "Okay, I and all Aiqing will wait and see." ”

After that, King Guande of the Tang Dynasty, Zong Zhengqing, and Li Xiong, the head of the Li royal family of Longyou; The Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Shi Langzhong, Guanlong Noble Chief Sun Wuji; Tang Jian, the Qing of Honglu Temple, and more than ten messengers left the imperial capital Chang'an one after another to complete their respective missions.
