Li Shimin is a civil and military all-rounder, versatile, calligraphy and painting have a hand, this chessboard is simple but with a lifelike feeling, very vivid. The borders of the Turks and the borders of the Tang Dynasty have been laid out.

From time to time, Luo Shixin will also flip through the territory map of the Tang Dynasty to understand the situation of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

You can see at a glance what place represents. Judging from the shape on the map, the Turkic West is bounded by Jinshan Mountain, and the east is next to the Liaodong section of Goguryeo. However, because of the abundance of water and grass, most of the Turks are distributed in the south, and the Tiele tribes are in the north.

Li Shimin guarded Lingzhou with Li Jingzhen, and guarded Daizhou with Li Shiji, which is almost a bit like an east-west attack......

Looking at the map arranged on a chessboard, perhaps Li Shimin has the idea of being caught between things and things.

Really!

Li Shimin took out two chess pieces that replaced Li Jing and Li Shiji and said: "This Turkic has dominated the steppe for many years, and its territory is extremely broad. It is not easy to decide in a fight. I plan to divide my forces and attack all the way from Lingzhou to the east to attack the Turks, and all the way Li Shiji from Daizhou to attack from east to west...... Then make an alliance with a tribe in the steppes and let them block the northern part of the Turks, in case they let the north flee deep into the north. ”

"Then why don't you divide the army into three routes?" Luo Shixin asked curiously, and also took a chess piece from the chessboard, put it in the direction of Gyeongju, and said: "When the army was dispatched, Yaoshi Gong went from Lingzhou from west to east, General Li Shiji went out of Yanmen Pass from east to west, and then came all the way out of Gyeongju Shuofang from south to north. The three-way army marched separately. Then, supplemented by an ally in the northern steppe, it formed a situation of encirclement on all sides, and kept it so that the Turks became turtles in the urn, so that every day should not be. The earth is not spiritual. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "The hero sees the same thing, and I have this intention." General, what do you think, what is our purpose? Isn't it the economy? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the vitality of the Central Plains was greatly injured, and the injury was too serious, and it could not recover for a while. At this time when everything is in ruins, it rashly launches a foreign war for a long time. The consumption will hurt the foundation of Datang and increase the burden on the people. But in the current situation, we can't help but fight. So what to do? He gestured with his hand on the board. He asked and answered: "Quick solution, with the shortest time, the fastest way, the strongest efficiency." Destroy the Turks in a very short time. Destroy the Turks. This would also reduce the burden of war. Therefore, in this battle, my Datang will attack with the strongest attitude, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and flatten the Turks. My Tang Dynasty generals are cloudy, but when it comes to the top three, there are Li Jing, Li Shiji, and you, the general. ”

Luo Shixin finally understood what Li Shimin meant, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is saying that I will be in charge of this army from the south to the north?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Shimin's eyes were burning, and he bowed his head and said: "Li Jing is good at attacking with soldiers. He is good at scheming and calculating, and Li Shiji is experienced and flexible in his use of soldiers. Good at exploiting loopholes. In addition to the general, I believe that it will be difficult to find a second person in the world who dares to face the Turks head-on with 20,000 foot soldiers and defeat the Turks. The commander of this frontal army, according to my opinion, must be a general. Therefore, I want to transfer the general to the governor of Gyeongju, accept the position of Yang Wengan, take charge of the military of the seven states, and guard the northern border. Like Li Jing and Li Shiji, when they were on guard, they sent people to go deep into the territory of the Turks to investigate the Turkic situation and understand the Turkic dynamics, so that they could take down the Turks in the shortest time and in the fastest way in the future. ”

"Alas!" When Li Shimin said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I also know that such a decision is a bit unkind, but I have discussed it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and they all agree that the general is the best candidate." ”

Luo Shixin listened to it silently, Pingyang was in a high position, Li Shimin was promoted to the crown prince, and Li Yuanji was nowhere to be found because of him. Now that she is the number one general of the Tang Dynasty, it is naturally impossible to follow him to Gyeongju to take up her post. This newlywed Yan'er, separated from the two places, is really cruel and reluctant. The same goes for Zheng Liwan......

In this life, there are always some dilemmas, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, nothing more.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Shixin's gaze became firm, and he said, "Thanks to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is willing to take on this important task." I just don't know when the appointment will come down......"

Li Shimin patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder vigorously and said, "I know that the general cares about the world and will not refuse." About two or three months later, I haven't mentioned this matter to my father, it's just a budget...... I'm not so unkind, and the newlyweds will break you up. The third sister already has a deep prejudice against me, and I am breaking you up in a hurry, so it's strange if I don't peel my skin and cramp. ”

Luo Shi believes that there are at least two or three months left, and the honeymoon period is long enough, as a good man, how much ability does he have to shoulder how much responsibility. Now he has come to this point, facing the Turkic ...... Do your best.

Listening to Li Shimin's relationship with Pingyang, Luo Shixin couldn't help but say: "Pingyang has a strong temperament, and he can't accept it for a while, if there is anything inappropriate, His Royal Highness will take care of it." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently and said: "This general can rest assured, even if you are her husband, you may not know more about her than me." She is only one year older than me, and we grew up together, and we like the art of war, riding and shooting, and we can play together. I can't understand her thoughts and mentality anymore. It's because of the siblings that I have the best relationship with her, she can't accept it for a while, and I won't care. ”

Luo Shixin also stopped talking, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "I don't know, what is the deal that Your Highness has done with Tuli now?" ”

Li Shimin replied: "It's very good, they fought hard, and the consumption in all aspects is beyond imagination." Tuli used salt and iron equipment to buy and win over the tribe to stand side by side with him, often in the tens of thousands. We don't trade money, we all exchange cattle and horses. Enough ploughing cattle can drive agriculture, and the huge consumption of weapons is also very beneficial to the smelting industry. ”

Luo Shixin smiled, showed his fox tail, and said, "This, the Mo Sword Formation is certainly a sharp weapon of the Turkic cavalry. However, deep into the Turkic hinterland, the slow mobility of the Modao Formation will be magnified exponentially, which is not conducive to fighting on the steppe. This one...... Your Royal Highness, you see, since our Datang now has a source of war horses, the Hequ Military Horse Farm has also achieved great results after long-term investment. You see this...... Can War Horse overdraft a lot. In this way, after two or three years of training, when it comes time to attack the Turks, can you also make a difference? (To be continued......)
