Guanyin and Li Shimin talked about the cold-blooded and cruel generals when the two armies fought on the battlefield.

Li Shimin clenched his fist with his right hand, struck lightly on several cases, and said bitterly, "Because of my own mistakes, it is equivalent to cutting off my wings."

"Now Liu Hongji has been captured, and Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan have been dismissed. Dou Cong worships the right Tunwei general, and the eldest grandson Shunde worships the left Xiaowei general, he is in charge of the palace and the guard, and he can't be easily called, and there can't be no trustworthy people around the grandfather. The remaining Pei Lian, who participated in the Jinyang uprising, is not aware of military affairs, and now he has become unsympathetic to me."

"Come to think of it, there are very few people around me who are available."

------

Guanyin listened to Li Shimin's emotion, and said with a smile, "You are still the King of Qin, and the Shangshu Order of the Tang Dynasty actually complained that no one was available."

"When Jinyang raised troops, because we were in Jinyang, we could only use people in Jinyang. Now that you are in Chang'an, if you want to calm the world, you must use the people available to the whole world."

"The Dou family of the uncle is full of talents, and the Shangshu Qu Tutong of the Ministry of War, and Pang Yu, the general of the Left Leading Army, are all people who have been in battle for a long time, as long as Brother Shimin uses people properly, whoever you use will be with you."

------

Li Shimin laughed when he heard Guanyin's words, "It seems that my pattern is too small, and my horizons are not broad enough, so I can't compare to Sister Awu. It's better for this marshal to lead the troops, and it is better for Ah Wan to do it."

Guanyin said with a smile, "With the eldest brother here, even you don't have the opportunity to be a marshal, where is the qualification to lead the troops?"

She then reminded Li Shimin solemnly, "Brother Shimin, don't hear that someone is available, you have confidence again, you must remember that as long as the eldest brother has the heart to fight, you must not fight with him."

Li Shimin clasped his hands into fists, arched his hand to Guanyin in front of his forehead, and said with a smile, "Obey the teachings of the princess below."

------

After some discussion, Li Shimin and Guanyin preliminarily decided to let Li Jiancheng lead the army to recruit Xue Rengao, and decided not to compete with him for the marshal who led the army.

The next day, Li Yuan summoned the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin Li Shimin, the right servant Pei Lian, Nayan Dou Kang, the internal history Ling Xiao Yu, and the military department Shangshu Qu Tutong and others to discuss the matter of conquest of Xue Rengao.

------

Talking about the selection of the marshal to lead the troops this time, Li Jiancheng seems to be not very enthusiastic about leading the troops to the battle, and he suggested to Li Yuan, "Erchen is not as good at the art of war and battle formation as the second brother, before the incident, the second brother had followed His Majesty to exterminate bandits and attack the Turks in the north, and after the incident, he led the troops to receive the "three auxiliaries" heroes, and he was very skilled in the use of troops, and it was most appropriate for the second brother to serve as the marshal."

Li Shimin wondered in his heart, why was the eldest brother eager to try the matter of leading the troops the day before yesterday, but today he changed his mind? He thought in his heart that it must have been the staff of the Prince's Mansion who analyzed the pros and cons for him and dispelled his idea of leading the troops.

------

It turned out that after Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace the day before yesterday, he told Wang Qi, a scholar of the prince's middle school, and Wei Ting, the hussar general of the prince's left guard, about his plans.

Wang Qi strongly opposed Li Jiancheng's idea, and he said to Li Jiancheng, "The prince's duty is to serve the temple sacrifice and the Sheji sacrifice, assist the saint in managing the affairs of the imperial court, and pay attention to the life of the saint, how can he easily leave Beijing to lead the army to fight?"

"If the Holy Lord leaves Beijing, if the prince is allowed to follow, His Royal Highness the prince will be the protector; If the crown prince is not allowed to follow, His Royal Highness the crown prince will be the prison of the country. This has been a rule since ancient times, how can Your Highness violate it?"

------

Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly, "It's not that I'm vying to be the marshal of the army, but I'm worried about the future."

Wang Qi asked, "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about in the future?"

Li Jiancheng said, "If it is undecided today, the second brother will definitely lead the troops to fight in the east and west, and the merits will increase day by day. And I stay in Beijing all day long, and I haven't built an inch, how can I deserve the position of this prince?"

------

Wang Jue said disapprerovingly, "How can the position of the crown prince be ordained based on merit? Who is the prince depends on the dignity and humility. After the Holy Lord is proclaimed emperor, under normal circumstances, he will no longer personally go to the east and the west to seek it, will he give up the throne to the person with high merit?"

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leads his troops to the battle, it will only be harmful and useless."

"Now, in the country, apart from the Holy One, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position is the most respected. If the victory is futile, what will the Holy One use to reward His Highness? If you are defeated, you will appear incompetent, leave a stain on yourself, and provide an excuse for those who have a heart to slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Jiancheng also felt that Wang Jue was reasonable, but deep in his heart, there was still a sense of crisis, but there was no other better way, only what Wang Jue said was the best countermeasure.

------

It was because of Wang Qi's persuasion that Li Jiancheng suggested that Li Shimin lead the troops as the commander when he was in the Inner Dynasty.

Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's suggestion, and turned to ask Li Shimin's opinion.

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Jiancheng to suddenly change his mind, and he quickly thought about how to give his father an answer in his heart.

He straightened out his thoughts and said to Li Yuan, "Erchen is still young, he is easy to be impatient, and sometimes he is not thoughtful enough. I think it's best to have the eldest brother lead the troops, and the sons will do their best to assist them."

------

After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin finished expressing their opinions, Li Yuan thought to himself, why are the hearts of the two sons like children's faces? Change is what you say.

Last time, looking at the expressions of the two of them, they were still gearing up and eager to try, but today they both took the initiative to let Xian. Li Yuan expected that the two of them must have gone back to listen to other people's suggestions, and changed their minds after weighing the pros and cons.

------

Li Yuan also asked Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Qu Tutong for their opinions.

Xiao Yu believed, "It is most appropriate for the King of Qin to lead the troops as the commander. Since ancient times, only the king drove the expedition in person, and there was no rule that the prince went out on behalf of his father. If it is not for the king's own conquest, the king will delegate the power of the army to a trusted man, and let him lead the army as commander."

"The crown prince has the responsibility of guarding the country and society, and the king of Qin has been in battle for a long time, so it is most suitable to take the king of Qin as the commander."

------

Pei Lin saw that Li Jiancheng was unwilling to lead the troops, and there was no other choice except for Li Shimin as the marshal, and he also agreed with Xiao Yu's statement.

Dou Kang and Qu Tutong were both former leaders of the army, and they knew that Li Shimin knew more about military affairs than Li Jiancheng, so they naturally liked Li Shimin more.

------

Seeing that everyone unanimously agreed that Li Shimin should be the commander, Li Yuan gladly adopted everyone's opinions and decided in public that Li Shimin would be the marshal of the expedition against Xue Rengao. He asked Li Shimin what else he thought.

Li Shimin said, "In the past, every major war had my father and brother in charge, but this time the western expedition mobilized 100,000 troops and let the sons and ministers command it alone, which is really a bit overwhelming, and I hope that Your Majesty can send competent people to assist."

------

Li Yuan asked Li Shimin with a smile, "Who does Erlang think is the most suitable to send?" Except for your grandfather and eldest brother, whoever you appoint, Grandpa agrees."

Li Shimin also smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty is so generous, then the sons and daughters can say it."

Li Yuan said, "Erlang just say, Grandpa will definitely do what he says."

------

Li Shimin said, "I only ask Grandpa for four people, Uncle Daosheng and Uncle Shize, Jiang Gong, the secretary of the military department, and Pang Yu, the general of the left leading army and the Duke of Han (Guo)."

The people Li Shimin wanted, there were two in the temple at this time.

Li Yuan smiled and asked Dou Kang, "Brother Daosheng, what do you think?"

Dou Kang smiled and said, "Since Erlang looks up to his uncle, how can I be unwilling?"

Li Yuan asked Qu Tutong again, "What does Gong Jiang think?"

Qu Tutong solemnly arched his hand and said, "The minister is willing to be driven by His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

------

Li Yuan said to Li Shimin, "Your Daosheng uncle and Jiang Gong have agreed, and your Shize's uncle and Han (Guo) Gong will also readily agree, you can rest assured of this."

Then, Li Yuan said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Lang asked Menxia Province to draft an edict, worship the King of Qin as the marshal, Qu Tutong of Jiang Guogong as the chief of the march, Brother Daosheng as the general of the Zuo Wuhou, Pang Yu of Han (Guo) as the general of the Right Wuhou, and Dou Liang of the Duke of the State of Yu as the governor of Qinzhou."

------

Some people may wonder why the other three are all Guogong, but Dou Kang is not?

This is because Dou Kang was originally a relative of Emperor Wen of Sui, and the original title was Chen Guogong, when the Han King Yang Liang rebelled, Yang Guang became suspicious of Dou Kang and dismissed him as a citizen, and Chen Guogong's title was also inherited by Dou Kang's younger brother Dou Qing.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Dou Kang naturally did not have a knighthood because he had no military merits.

------

After setting the marshal who would lead the troops to the expedition, the next step was to set a date for the expedition.

Li Yuan believes that it is the autumn harvest season, and the time of the expedition is set at the end of August, when the autumn harvest is over, it will not affect the agricultural time, and the 20-day time can be used to make the army ready for the expedition.

------

After the various matters of the expedition were decided, Li Shimin's heart did not feel relaxed, like a thousand catties of heavy burden on his shoulders.

This time, Li Shimin no longer dared to have the slightest negligence, without the participation of his father Li Yuan and eldest brother Li Jiancheng, an army of 100,000 was handed over to him, and so many people were commanded by him alone, which was the first time since the start of the army.

------

At the end of the discussion, Li Shimin left the Liangyi Palace, passed the Qianqiu Hall and the Princess Courtyard, and walked to the door of the Harmony Courtyard.

Li Shimin walked a few steps across the covered bridge, stood in front of Guanyin, and asked with a smile, "Why is Awen standing here?"

Guanyin smiled and said, "I let people watch when you disperse here, and I want to wait for you to come back and walk around this canal together, and enjoy the scenery of the canal in mid-autumn."

------

Li Shimin stepped forward, held Guanyin's left arm, and the two walked side by side along the west bank of the Qingming Canal, walking slowly to the north. Qin Lan, Shi Qin and several palace maids followed far behind them with mats, tea sets and other items.

Guanyin was three months pregnant, but she still had a light gait and did not look clumsy, even so she still let Li Shimin support her with peace of mind.

------

In August, the autumn breeze is getting cooler, and the cicadas are choking.

The air is fresh and clear, as if it has been washed with clean water, as people often say, autumn is high and refreshing.

The weeping willows around him are blowing on the embankment, and the green black locust has begun to fall down yellow leaves.

The clear stream in the canal is quiet and waveless, and the sky is reflected in the water, blue like indigo, and white clouds like flocculent.

------

At this time, Guanyin saw a stone table by the ditch, and there was a stone bench next to the table, and she motioned for Li Shimin to sit down and rest.

So, the two of them stopped in front of the stone table, Qin Lan and Shiqin hurriedly asked people to wipe off the ash stains on the stone table and stone bench, put soft cushions on the stone bench, and put the tea set on the stone table.

Li Shimin and Guanyin sat down on the stone bench, and the servant came up and poured a fragrant tea for each of them.

------

Guanyin held the teacup in her hand, looked at the willows by the canal, and the clear canal water around her, and couldn't help but say, "This is really a good place to tune the piano and play the strings."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Next time I come back, I'll bring a guqin."

Guanyin looked at Li Shimin and said, "I like this place with water the most, with the embellishment of water, everything around here has an aura."

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked around, as Guanyin said, if there is no water, these palaces and pavilions around him will become a dull scenery.
