Chapter 265: Clever Tongue Sophistry
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Hao's eyes, he also understood that the time had come. He took a deep breath and re-sorted out what Li Hao had told him before.
Garrison the imperial capital, this is a big crime of the nine clans in any dynasty, Li Hao wants to turn the tables in this matter, he must do extraordinary things. Now the situation seems to have been stabilized by Li Hao, but in fact, it has come to the edge of the cliff. In the next cooperation, the eldest grandson Wuji must do nothing flawlessly, otherwise all the efforts made by Li Hao will come to naught.
After combing for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji had completely sorted out his thoughts, and he brushed his sleeves and shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister is different!" What King Zhen'an said is not credible! Your Majesty, please think again! ”
As soon as these words came out, they shocked the four seats, and even Li Su was stunned.
Although Li Hao has been in Chang'an for less than two years, with his inhuman strength, he has a close relationship with many cronies and important ministers around Li Shimin, and this eldest grandson Wuji is one of them.
On weekdays, the eldest grandson Wuji has a friendly relationship with Li Hao, and he is a friend who has forgotten his year, but now Li Hao has been accused by the ministers, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come forward to say good things, why did he suddenly start to block it?
Li Shimin's heart was like a mirror, he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said bad things about Li Hao, it must have been premeditated, so he asked quietly: "Why did Uncle Guo say this, and say it carefully!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji turned around and waved his hand at Li Hao first: "Lord Li, you and I have a very good relationship on weekdays. But Lao Chen, as the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, naturally focuses on the Tang Dynasty, if the words are not good, please forgive me! ”
Li Hao also replied to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Uncle Guo said this, return to the dynasty, friendship and friendship, I, Li Hao, am not such a stingy person." If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter, if it's really me Li Hao who did something wrong, I should reflect on myself! ”
"The prince is modest and generous, and my eldest grandson Wuji admires him! That's what I'll say! The eldest grandson Wuji took two steps forward: "There is no doubt that the king of Zhen'an is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the old minister is willing to vouch for him with his life, if anyone attacks the prince with this, I will be the first to disagree!" But loyalty is loyalty, and leading an army to fight against foreign enemies is not just loyalty! You also need strength! ”
"Prince Li is a talented person, and his talent is believed to be obvious to all in being an adult. Whether it is business or whole, looking at the past and present, there are few people who can stand out, and the old minister admires him very much. But after all, he was born in a businessman, and he may have a genius in his papers, and he can form an army and command the ability of the three armies, and the old minister is skeptical. ”
"The army is the weapon of the country, and the sword is the one that the sword points towards; The army is the backing of the country, where the army is, and deters the wolves. This is the foundation of the country! Today, although Lijiazhuang is independent of the Tang Dynasty, it is a brotherly state in China. But in the eyes of outsiders, this is not the case, within the four seas, everyone thinks that Li Jiazhuang is a vassal of my Tang Dynasty, and if Li Jiazhuang goes out of the army in the future, it will also be part of my Tang Heavenly Army, I don't know if Li Wang Ye has any objections? ”
Li Hao shook his head: "No! ”
Although Lijiazhuang is rich now, the country is still small, and no one will regard it as an independent kingdom. This is known to the world, and Li Hao will not dwell on this issue.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and continued: "If according to what the prince said, let Lijiazhuang garrison, he will lead the party to Tubo in the west, and the Tang Heavenly Soldiers in the north will fight against the Turks. If you can win, it is great, but if you lose...... It's not Li Jiazhuang's face that has been damaged, it's my Tang Tianwei! ”
"That's right!" The words of the eldest grandson Wuji woke everyone up like an empowerment.
Li Hao is a businessman, he knows how to lead soldiers to fight. War requires victory, and victory requires countless conditions, among which morale is the key to determining victory.
If an army is always victorious and undefeated, it will be able to turn its eyes on it, and the enemy will flee wherever it passes. But if you are always defeated, it will not only affect your own momentum, but also the momentum of the allies.
If he integrates the Turks to fight in the future, even if the Tang Heavenly Army is invincible, if Li Hao's army is defeated and retreats one after another, the enemy's morale will be boosted, and the morale of the Tang Dynasty will be dragged to a weakening point.
If that's the case, it's better not to let them mess with it.
"Why should a mere businessman lead troops to war?"
"If you lose a series of battles, you must not hold back the battle line?"
"Don't think that after two days of business, you will learn to fight! You can learn enough on the battlefield! There will be no war, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain! ”
"I think that Prince Li still makes a lot of money, and if you generate income for the Datang treasury, my Datang Heavenly Soldiers will protect you!"
A group of generals laughed and mocked Li Hao.
"Enough!" A break silenced everyone's laughter.
Li Hao's face was gloomy, as if he had been angered by their ridicule: "The frog at the bottom of the well, the vastness of the sky of An!" You haven't seen me Li Hao go to the battlefield, how do you know that I can't lead troops and won't fight? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Lord Wang, the old minister used to follow the emperor to conquer the south and the north, and he has experienced several battles, and the war is a battle of blood and fire, which is not the same as the business war. Don't make such a big mistake because of a momentary anger! You are now a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and you could have been famous for a hundred years, don't let this matter be too late! ”
"When did I, Li Hao, value my reputation? I don't care about this kind of thing at all. Since you can't do it, I can lead the troops, so why don't you make a bet! ”
"Bet?" The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and looked dumbfounded at a group of generals.
"Yes, bet! You can just give me a Tang army. Give me another half a year, and I will be able to call this army the division of tigers and wolves! If I succeed, please believe in my abilities! From now on, don't underestimate me Li Hao! ”
"What if it doesn't work?" A military general held his head high and looked at Li Hao with contempt.
As a soldier who has been on the battlefield for many years, he doesn't believe that a businessman like Li Hao can lead an army at all.
"If it doesn't work, I will immediately disband the establishment of Lijiazhuang's troops, and from now on, I will do business honestly and be called the backing of Datang!"
"Good! Then we'll make this bet with you! The ministers were excited, and Qi Qi said: "Your Majesty, since King Zhen'an is so insistent, it is better to weigh his heart." also let him know that not everyone can go into battle to kill the enemy, and they can lead soldiers! ”
In this debate, Li Shimin hardly spoke. As the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he can't favor Li Hao on the major issues of right and wrong, so it is not appropriate for him to talk more today.
But now that the ministers have begun to advise Li Hao to lead the troops, Li Shimin also happened to get off the donkey, and said loudly: "Okay, since all the ministers have no objections, today's matter is decided." I will be a witness once, and I hope that King Zhen'an will remember today's words. If you lose, don't mention the formation of an army, you are still my pillar of the Tang Dynasty! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! This king will go all out! Li Hao snickered and bowed. After arguing for a long time, there was finally a result, everything was progressing gradually according to his plan, and it was not too smooth.
"And which force will be entrusted to you?" Li Shimin began to ponder.
"Why should my father worry, since King Zhen'an is so confident, it is better to hand over the Linghui Army to him!"
