Chapter 615: Counting is Counting
Without Li Shimin's orders, the eunuch standing next to him immediately went out of the main hall to take a look.
Not long after, he brought a secret letter to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was angry, and he didn't want to see it, but when he heard that this secret letter was about the Turks, he temporarily suppressed his anger and opened his eyes.
As a result, Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Yang Guang, he recovered the Turks?"
"What?" The faces of the eldest grandson Wuji and the others changed dramatically in an instant.
"On the one hand, he sent troops to harass us and prevent us from going to Luoyang, and on the other hand, he still has the energy to recover the Turks? When did the Great Sui's forces become so powerful?"
"He only took more than 3,000 people to the Turks." Li Shimin gritted his teeth, he was also a little incredulous, after all, it was difficult for him to do this: "It is said that the process is extremely tortuous, and it is related to Cui's daughter."
Then, Li Shimin asked the eunuch next to him to read the contents of the secret letter to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen, as if they knew something amazing.
"After the Cui family girl left the Tang Dynasty, she didn't expect that the means would still be so powerful, relying on a mere skin mask, she could firmly control the Turks in the palm of her hand."
"It's a pity that I lost to Yang Guang in the end."
"Yang Guangneng regained the Turks with more than 3,000 people, and he hasn't spent a single soldier, speaking of which, it was the Cui family girl who did him a great favor, otherwise if the Turkic Khan was still alive, how could Yang Guang succeed? Didn't they always want to break with the Great Sui?"
"If Yang Guang dares to step into the steppe where the Turks are located, he will become a prisoner of the Turkic Khan in minutes!"
The voices of whispering in the court were endless.
Li Shimin did not speak.
He didn't care about that.
I can't even care about Li Xiaogong and their defeat.
Because he knows that the Turks are strong.
Yang Guang recovered the Turks, and his combat power was further enhanced, if the Great Sui could only open with the Tang Dynasty in the past, then now, the absolute force has been raised to a situation of five or five open, after all, the Turks should not be underestimated, and the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen, even him, will be extremely jealous.
"How so? It's only been a long time, how can Yang Guang lead him to this height?" Li Shimin muttered in his mouth, after learning the news, for some reason, he felt unusually weak.
At this point, he had lost the strength to be angry, it was useless, and it couldn't change the problem he was facing.
Looking back on the past, he really shouldn't have given Yang Guang the opportunity and time to grow, otherwise, the situation facing Datang now would not be so out of control, so that if he wants to exterminate Da Sui now, he must do everything to start a war with it, otherwise a small-scale conflict will not be able to hurt the foundation of Da Sui at all!
He sat down on the dragon chair, his eyes completely losing their former sparkle.
"Retreat." There was silence in the hall for a while, and then, Li Shimin said weakly: "Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji will discuss the unfavorable matters of the teacher, and we will talk about it at a later date, before that, deprive the two of you of all your positions, and think about it behind closed doors in the house!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji knelt on the ground together.
"Your Majesty, you can't retreat from the court yet." The eldest grandson Wuji spoke up: "Didn't the secret letter that Your Majesty just let people read out introduce the Cui family's daughter's method of dealing with guerrilla warfare? Chen has been wondering just now, can we also learn and use guerrilla warfare to deal with guerrilla warfare?"
"Although the Cui family girl was finally driven out of the grassland by Yang Guang, it was because Yang Guang personally went into battle and led the Jinyi Guard to achieve victory, and on a large-scale battlefield, Yang Guang simply could not take this kind of means to deal with our army."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said calmly: "You can arrange this matter, how do you want to do it, as long as you can come up with an effective countermeasure, you don't need to discuss it with me."
"Your Majesty......" The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were strange, and he had already seen that Li Shimin was hit by Yang Guang.
Coupled with the domestic instability of Datang, under the external and internal troubles, the pressure on Li Shimin is too great
Finish.
In such a situation, if Li Shimin is to be slumped because of this, how can it be good?
At this time, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so negative, Yang Guang has indeed recovered the Turks, but in terms of national strength, he is still not at the same level as us, besides, he has a good plan, didn't we cross the bridge and ladder?"
Li Shimin turned around, sat down on the dragon chair again, looked at him and said, "Go on."
Fang Xuanling gave his hand: "For example, there are three major forces today, the Tang Dynasty, the Great Sui, and Luoyang. Da Sui has a helper, we are bound to have to find a helper, if Your Majesty has no opinion, the minister is willing to take someone to Luoyang in person to persuade Wang Shichong to cooperate with Your Majesty."
"Of course, if it is said to be cooperation, it is actually to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and he will become His Majesty's courtier."
"Are you sure you can convince Wang Shichong?" The decadence in Li Shimin's eyes was swept away, and a ray of light resurfaced. Although Wang Shichong is overwhelmed, he has always looked down on this person. But after all, Wang Shichong has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and besides, he is still sitting in the dangerous place of Luoyang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If Wang Shichong can really be allowed to return to the Tang Dynasty, the benefits to the Tang Dynasty will be no less than that of the Great Sui to recover the Turks.
"Sure." Fang Xuanling said: "Wang Shichong is now in an extremely awkward position, and our Datang and Dasui are eyeing him, and I believe he knows this."
"Correspondingly, once the Great Sui and the Great Tang Dynasty have a winner, then in the next step, his Luoyang will definitely be cannibalized!"
"And Your Majesty, don't forget, the battle when Yang Guangyu drove to Luoyang in person made Wang Shichong suffer enough, so that he has been a man with his tail between his legs for a long time, and he has no sense of existence at all, and even heard that he also sent heavy troops to protect Luoyang, and in ordinary times, even if it is a military training, he does not dare to leave Luoyang easily!"
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned: "What you said, not only Your Majesty knows it, but we also know it very well, but these alone should not be enough to make Wang Shichong submit to the feet of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"The eldest grandson is right." Fang Xuanling smiled, "So, I also plan to prescribe a pair of medicine for Wang Shichong."
"What medicine?"
"Medicine that scares them!" Fang Xuanling said lightly: "The reason why he is so nervous is not that he is worried that Yang Guang will attack Luoyang again? In that case, why don't we just plan and help Yang Guang attack Luoyang?"
"Fang Xuanling, are you crazy?" Hearing this, everyone's faces changed drastically, and their mood was extremely shaken.
