Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of civil strife have hardly stopped.

A large group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods that came out of nowhere, killing them endlessly, and almost every day, I can receive news of several people uncovering the uprising.

These messy and broken things can be said to have made Li Shimin tired of it, however, if these things are not handled, it will not work, if the country cannot maintain stability, then how can we talk about development?

Failure to develop will only make the people in the country complain, and over time, the people's will will be lost, and they will not be able to sit on this dragon chair at all.

"Forget it, let's not send troops to Jiangdu for the time being."

Li Shimin sighed a little disappointed, and then waved his hand and said: "Sending 70,000 troops to Luoyang this time has already made Chang'an's troops lack a lot, and now where are the extra troops?" ”

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look at each other.

In fact, the Tang army had a scale of more than half a million.

It's a pity that Li Shimin took the throne from Li Yuan, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, all he could use was 200,000 troops. And a large part of them have been sent to Chang'an to quell the rebellion and civil strife.

As for the remaining 300,000 troops, the generals in charge of them were not particularly convinced by Li Shimin.

So until now, both sides have been in the middle of negotiations.

Of course, judging from the current situation, this matter is not a difficult thing for Li Shimin, as long as he is given enough time, I believe that those generals will eventually bow to the former one by one.

It's just that, after all, that's for the future......

As far as the current situation is concerned, the number of troops that Li Shimin can use is still very limited, otherwise, he would not be so entangled in the question of whether to send troops to Jiangdu.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it doesn't take too many troops to send troops to Jiangdu, and the minister has roughly calculated, about forty or fifty thousand." At this time, Du Ruhui said again.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he wondered: "Forty or fifty thousand? Is that enough? Don't forget, Jiangdu still has more than 100,000 troops! Not to mention the leader of this army, it is still Laihu'er and the others. ”

For Laihu'er, Li Shimin is both appreciative and jealous.

First of all, this is a veteran who has won countless battles in his life.

But it is precisely because he has experienced too many battles that he has extremely rich battlefield experience, not only good at fighting the strong with the weak, but also more invincible when the strength of the two sides is not much different.

And, even if you put it aside, let's go to protect the child.

And what about Wagangzhai......

The group of people in Wagangzhai will fight all of them, Shan Xiongxin and others, which one is not a famous general who was killed from the battlefield? As for him Li Shimin, although there are some famous generals under him, if compared with the Great Sui, it undoubtedly looks much thinner.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, forty or fifty thousand people are enough." When Du Ruhui spoke, he was full of confidence: "What we sent to Luoyang this time is not to start a final decisive battle with the Great Sui, but to fight a psychological war with them." ”

"Psychological warfare?" As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin suddenly became interested: "Let's talk about details." ”

"Okay."

Du Ruyan bowed his head, and then explained respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can think about how many troops we will send, that God knows you and I know, but Jiangdu is not very clear." ”

"As soon as they saw Tang Jun, they would instantly feel that we were menacing this time, and we must have come straight to Jiangdu."

"Therefore, when Yang Guang has not returned to Jiangdu for the time being, and they have no backbone for the time being, they probably only dare to curl up in Jiangdu, and do not dare to rashly come out to fight."

"In this case, as long as we can create psychological pressure on it for a long time, after a long time, those generals of the Great Sui will inevitably panic, at this time, we will add another brick and add fire, and we can't reverse it if we don't believe in it."

The next moment, without waiting for Li Shimin to react, Du Ruhui had already taken the lead in clapping his hands and exclaimed: "This proposal is wonderful, it is worthy of you, Du Xiang, if your method goes well, by the time Yang Guang comes back, I am afraid that Jiangdu will already become an empty city." ”

"Then what if the Sui army comes out to fight? Then the fact that we only have tens of thousands of troops, isn't it exposed all at once? Li Shimin frowned, as if he felt that this plan was still to be discussed.

"They came out to fight, do they dare to bring out all the troops together?"

Du Ruhui is obviously a good person, and he calculates all aspects clearly: "It's still the same sentence, without Yang Guang in charge, no matter what they do, they will look forward and backward, and they don't dare to really let go of their hands and feet." ”

"Therefore, as long as we don't take the initiative to expose it, then there will definitely be no problems in this matter."

Li Shimin was silent when he heard this, his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was planning.

And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have already finished saying everything, and they won't bother anymore at this time, just waiting for Li Shimin to figure it out by himself.

After a while, Li Shimin raised his hand and slapped it on the pillar beside him, and said coldly: "Okay, let's do it, tomorrow I will send 50,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangdu." ”

"Your Majesty, when conveying this news to the general, don't tell him the truth, just say that these 50,000 soldiers and horses are just the vanguard troops, and there will be reinforcements later." Fang Xuanling didn't forget to remind him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Li Shimin's eyes were clear, as if he had seen the picture of Wagangzhai surrendering to him.

Of course, even if he can't recruit all those favorite generals, he must surrender at least a third, otherwise, this time he will send troops in vain.

You know, as soon as these 50,000 elite soldiers move, they have to start burning money.

And what Li Shimin is most tired of in his life is undoubtedly making loss-making transactions......

At the same time, in the middle of the river capital.

In the harem, Empress Xiao was sitting in the courtyard with Ye Xiaoqiao, Qin Ruyan and others.

Although it was late at night, they were not sleepy at all, but looked in the direction of Luoyang, their eyes were shining.

"I don't know how Your Majesty is now......

Empress Xiao sighed faintly: "Since I entered the palace, I have never been separated from the emperor for so long, I don't know if Your Majesty is used to the climate of Luoyang, whether you eat well in the barracks, whether you have lost weight." ”

"The conditions in the barracks are bad, even if Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you probably won't be treated too well."

Ye Xiaoqiao's face was full of worry: "I knew that I would be so worried about him, no matter what I said at the beginning, I had to accompany him." ”

"I'm different from you, I know some martial arts, even on the battlefield, I can help my husband's ......"

In this regard, Ye Xiaoqiao regretted it.
