Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Li Yuan's second son, known as Li Erlang, a rare generation of Ming Jun in history, lifelong to become a generation of virtuous monarch as his own responsibility, after the throne, humbly admonished, strict thrift, light and meager endowment, so that the people recuperate, he is like an excellent helmsman, the Tang Dynasty this "Big Mac" under his control, sailing on a thriving road.

The Tang Dynasty is like the sky, prosperous and thriving, and Chang'an, Kyoto, is like a flowing water and a dragon, extremely prosperous, among the merchants who shout hard, they do not go to the Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles away, they bring all kinds of rare and famous games, the prosperous situation, has a faint precursor to the prosperous world.

And in the sky above Daxing City (the palace in the early Tang Dynasty, the well-known Daming Palace has not yet expanded), there is a solemn and dull atmosphere, and the dark clouds on the aster give people a sign that the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

The imperial study under Li Er's majesty was full of the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, and at this moment, their eyebrows were a little dignified, and only a few generals had a little excitement in their eyebrows.

It's war!

As a generation of virtuous monarchs and holy lords, whenever there is a major event, Li Shimin likes to summon the important literati and military generals to the imperial study to discuss, humbly accept advice, and formulate various strategies.

In addition to Emperor Li Er, who was sitting at the top, the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chigong, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and a dozen others, these most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, gathered in the study at this moment, looking at a map and a report with a solemn face.

With a "snap", Li Shimin punched the head of the case and said angrily: "The bullying is too much." Too much deception. ”

In the recital, there are some records of recent strong enemy invasions:

In early March, Tufan sent troops to attack Huizhou and Yaozhou, broke two cities, killed more than 1,000 people, and kidnapped nearly 3,000 young and strong women, as well as countless money, grain, cattle and sheep;

In mid-April, Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun sent troops to Kolanzhou, broke the city, killed a ranger general, and more than 300 soldiers wearing armor died on the battlefield. The people were killed and wounded;

In early June, Tuyuhun invaded Kuozhou again, abducted more than 300 young and strong women, and nailed the limbs of the Tang women to the wall to vent their desires in order to vent their animal desires. Even the young girl didn't let go, where she passed. It's like Shura hell. Appalling.

In late August, three villages in Hezhou were slaughtered and corpses littered with foreign acts

The most exasperating thing is that in the same year. Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and after the tribute was finished, he did not return directly to the original place, but ran to Shanzhou to loot and returned. The envoys of the Taizong sect blamed them. Fu Yun was recruited to the Tang Dynasty, and Fu Yun claimed that he was sick and did not come, but proposed for his son Zunwang; Taizong allowed them to come to the Tang Dynasty to welcome their relatives, but the king did not come, so the marriage was broken.

NO WONDER LI SHIMIN WAS FURIOUS, THAT ONE RECORD REPRESENTS, THAT IS A PIECE OF FRESH LIFE, THOSE ARE THEIR OWN PEOPLE, THOSE JACKALS WHO ARE NOT AMBITIOUS, THE INCREASINGLY RICH TANG AS A PIECE OF MEAT, A HUNTING PLACE, ONE DAY WHEN THE MOOD IS GOOD, HE WILL RELY ON THE HORSE FAST ARROWS, RUN INTO THE TANG TERRITORY TO BURN AND LOOT, JIAN ADULTEROUS WOMEN, KIDNAPPING PEOPLE, ALL EVIL, ONCE THE MATTER IS BIG, AND SEND PEOPLE TO CHANG'AN TO ASK FOR GUILT, THE ALWAYS BENEVOLENT TANG TAIZONG, PEACE IS PRECIOUS, MORE THAN A REPRIMAND, FEW PUNISHMENTS.

So, they are getting more and more bold, even a small Tuyuhun, but also dare to make trouble many times, the most shameful thing is that on the way home from the tribute, but also rob before leaving, plus cover up a lazy, above the court, that is called the courtier, as soon as he got out of the court, he immediately changed the face of a robber, openly challenging the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, throughout the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding borders are still very complicated, Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yanqi, Western Turkic, Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, Qiuzi, etc., These are like vicious wolves, always thinking about biting Datang.

It's just that they don't know what to do, Li Er's Taoguang and obscure plan has begun to bear fruit, and after years of rest, the "tiger" of Datang has licked its wounds and sharpened its fangs

"It's too much, Your Majesty, make up your mind." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded slightly.

As the first important minister most relied on by Li Shimin's side, the queen's elder brother, the emperor's uncle, and the eldest grandson Wuji's statement, undoubtedly made the generals very excited.

"Your Majesty, let's fight, we'll be ready early in the morning." Cheng Zhijie and Cheng Yanjin, who have always been belligerent, shouted excitedly.

The Tang Dynasty seized the world with force, attached great importance to military merits, and formulated a set of promotions and rewards early on, and military generals should be promoted, rewarded, titled, etc., all based on military merits.

Fang Xuanling touched his beard, nodded and said: "Now that my Datang is strong and the treasury is full, the old minister also agreed to send troops to sweep away those tumors and restore peace to my Datang border." ”

Everyone present nodded their heads in support of the troops.

"Li Aiqing, what is your opinion?" Li Er turned his head and asked Li Jing, who had always been cautious, when others were discussing it just now, he rarely spoke, and was always pondering.

Li Jing hurriedly responded: "Back to the emperor, the minister has no objection to the conquest, it's just that Tufan and Tuyuhun are both my enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and Weichen is thinking about which one will come first, which one will come later, or start a war at the same time." ”

Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of, aren't there just a few house slaves herding sheep?" When my old Cheng came out of the horse, I immediately cleaned him up, so what Fuyun Khan, Tufan's Songtsan Gampo, I will catch them back and feed the emperor to the horse. ”

Xiao Yu, who has been silent, opened his mouth and said: "A little Tuyuhun is just a clown jumping off the beam, what Weichen is worried about is Tufan, for Tufan, we have more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, it's not that our soldiers are not as strong as it, the armor is not as good as it, terrible, it is the inexplicable curse, as soon as I stepped into the land of Tufan, before the war, our soldiers felt physically and mentally tired, and some people died violently without warning, cowardly before fighting, and used troops many times without success, but broke their own ambition, and grew the majesty of Tufan and Tuyuhun. ”

As soon as the war machine is launched. Soldiers plus logistics, often in the hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands of troops, grain and grass consumed every day, it is definitely a game of burning money, and if you are not careful, it will have a very serious impact on the national strength.

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Li Shimin and Qin Qiong, who had always been wise and brave, and Qin Shubao laughed.

Everyone in the study froze suddenly, and Xiao Yu was even more confused, and his face was a little embarrassed. It's like thinking you've said something wrong.

Fortunately, Qin Shubao still has a lot of respect for Xiao Yu, and when he saw this, he hurriedly explained: "Song Guosu Gong is not in a hurry, in fact, His Majesty has a good plan early in the morning, but the time has not yet come." Your Majesty, the time has come. You can say it. ”

Li Er nodded. said with a happy face: "It's time, all Aiqing", Li Er paused and said: "Tufan's unknown curse, now find a way to solve it, I, a Tang soldier, is to step into the land of Tufan." can also maintain combat effectiveness nine times out of ten, and it can compete with Tufan's army. ”

What the? Solved the curse?

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were tempered by the southern and northern wars, and they had already trained a good general who could fight well. In the face of Tufan and Tuyuhun's repeated offenses, the dead soldiers, the white bones on the roadside, the compatriots who were taken captive as slaves, and the bestialities they committed, which bloody Tang soldier did not rush to the crown angrily? I wanted to kill all the invading enemies as soon as possible, but as soon as they stepped into the land of Tufan, their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and they vomited and vomited, and lost their lives seriously and inexplicably, so that when they chased to the border, they could only watch them fly away and leave with their teeth broken.

Now, the curse has been solved, and the combat effectiveness of the warriors can survive eight or nine out of ten, although it cannot be one hundred percent, with the courage of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, excellent armor, and sharp weapons, it can definitely make up for the shortcomings in this regard, and it is enough to gain the upper hand in the battle.

"Your Majesty, is this true? Why doesn't the old minister know anything about it? Eldest Sun Wuji asked a little surprised.

As Emperor Li Er's playmate, loyal minister, uncle and other multiple relationships, Li Er likes to discuss anything with him, but today, it seems that Li Er and Qin Shubao both know about it, but they don't know anything, so they can't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly ask.

Those unaware Wenchen generals also looked at Li Er with curiosity and admiration, to see what good plans their emperor had under His Majesty.

Feeling the curious and worshipful eyes of everyone, Li Er was very satisfied, but he did not answer the question of the eldest grandson Wuji directly, but turned his head to Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department who had always "only brought ears and no mouths" and asked: "Hou Aiqing, you are in charge of the training of the Broken Army, and this suggestion was also made by you, so let's explain it to you Aiqing." ”

"Wechen obeys." Hou Junji hurriedly received the order.

Although Hou Junji fought bravely and performed many miraculous feats, there were too many famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, like Qin Shubao, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others have not yet retired, he can only stay in the back and stay up with qualifications, like today's secret meeting, in fact, he is not qualified, but it is he who presented the method of breaking the "curse", and is responsible for training the newly built broken army, Li Er authorized him to come in.

Hou Junji's expression was very excited, for him, entering this study also meant that he had entered the core circle of Datang.

"The curse we are usually afraid of is not actually a curse, this is a symptom called altitude sickness, as long as "Hou Junji told Li Er once again where he heard it from Liu Yuan, and then also told Li Er secretly ordered him to use that method to train the new army, and the new army also said the matter of breaking the army, and also gave a detailed introduction to the soldiers' reactions before and after.

Just like Li Er said just now, the new army can maintain eight or nine times out of ten combat effectiveness in Tufan, which is also summed up by him.

"Don't blame Aiqing, it's not that you have the intention to hide it, but this matter is very important, and I don't know what the effect is, so I asked Hou Aiqing to train it in person first, but I didn't expect it to really work, Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Haha" Li Er laughed happily.

He seemed to have seen the tragic fate of Tufan and Tuyuhun, who didn't know the height of the sky.

Cheng Biting Jin slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, with this new army, I see what else Tubo is playing, without that reliance, fighting against my Datang is simply looking for death." ”

"There's no curse, a little spit, it's not a problem, God bless me Datang, God bless me Datang, haha" Fang Xuanling was so happy that he twisted his beautiful beard, and he didn't know it when he twisted off two roots.

Li Jing said proudly: "There is no curse, see how Tufan can resist my invincible soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Hou Junji with an appreciative face, and said happily: "Hou Shangshu is really talented and intelligent, and this method also makes you think that it is really worthy of being the secretary of the military department." ”

"No, no, no" Hou Junji hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Little stupid, don't dare to take credit, this method, I didn't come up with it, but a little guy named Liu Yuan in Yangzhou told me, now it seems that it is indeed effective, and I also want to ask His Majesty to reward him for his meritorious deeds." ”

"Liu Yuan? You mean, Liu Yuan in Yangzhou? A hairy guy who hasn't reached adulthood yet? Qin Shubao suddenly called out in surprise.

Hou Junji said with a little puzzlement: "Exactly, the general also knows this person?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard of it" Qin Shubao explained: "Dog Huaiyu, a few days ago on my behalf of the Qinghe Cui Wang clan after the 70th birthday, came back to tell me an interesting story, there are skilled craftsmen, actually on a small piece of jewelry, carved the entire "Diamond Sutra", almost invisible to the naked eye, I just started to be interesting, but recently a few small works were found out for carrying secret letters, and died in a foreign land, I thought, if this skill can be applied to intelligence, it is definitely a great weapon. ”

"What? The entire "Diamond Sutra" is engraved on jewelry? Tang Taizong Li Er exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the dog's words are conclusive, and there should be no falsehood." Qin Shubao said with certainty.

Xiao Yu also echoed: "I have also heard about this matter, but I didn't expect it to be used as intelligence." ”

"Yes, yes, I also heard my mother-in-law say that it seems that the kid is very good at making jewelry, and my little girl pestered me for a few days, so she ordered a piece of jewelry for silver, but it is not finished yet." Cheng Biting Jin replied with a grin.

Lao Cheng likes to use loud volume to grab the conversation to increase his sense of presence.

"Interesting, interesting, I didn't expect a small businessman to have such a good strategy to break the enemy, it seems that he still has extraordinary skills, he should be rewarded, he should be rewarded." Li Er suddenly became interested in the small businessman who was not yet an adult: "Come on, plan the purpose, and quickly announce that Liu Yuan from Yangzhou will go to Chang'an to see me." ”

"Ahhh

"Who is cursing me" Liu Yuan wiped his nose and said to himself, opened his eyes, turned his head to see that the old loyal slave was not there, and asked loudly: "Old Zhao, where are you now?" ”

Zhao An's excited voice came from outside the car: "Back to the young master, I just entered the realm of Qinghe, and I'm almost there." (To be continued.) )
