Chapter 299: Goguryeo Raiders
Hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin felt a little better in his heart, this son is still very filial to himself.
At least I know that there are good things to be sent to the palace, and you are looking at those few sisters-in-law in Chang'an, and your head hurts when you think about it.
"Your mirror should be made of your glass, right?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Aye's eyes, indeed." Li Shen didn't hide it.
"Then it seems that you are going to take him out, aren't you worried about the family discovering the Divine Bead?" Li Shimin reminded that the matter of Shenzhu has caused the family's wealth to lose thirty percent.
If you let the family know that Li Shen did this, then it will be worth it.
"Aya rest assured, it doesn't matter if they are suspicious, they can't hold the handle. And they will not dare to assassinate again,
If he is stabbing, he will return a tooth for a tooth, and the journey from Chang'an to Luoyang will make him bleed. ”
In recent years, there have been more and more scholars, and many of the poor families who have come up are now vacant in the Chongren Pavilion.
If I do it again, Li Shen really doesn't mind playing a little ruthlessly.
After hearing this, Li Shimin beckoned to Li Chengqian behind him, and the latter ran over.
"How are you going to do over there? Next year, I am preparing to conquer the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, and the Tibetans have no scruples, but they can't let them stab us in the back. ”
The conquest of Goguryeo has always been Li Shimin's dream, and he wants to prove himself too much.
"Aya rest assured, as long as their trade is stuck, they won't be able to move us next year, we are sending some men to the border, get used to their environment, and rotate every few months. Prepare for the future.
I think that even if they want to move, they will have to wait until after the harvest next year. They haven't got food for next year yet.
However, next year, the most likely thing is that they will go to the Western Regions to buy grain, but the Western Regions are all small countries, and there may not be much grain. ”
Li Shen has choked enough in the Tubo pit this year, and the promised grain has not been given, and now many of their people are short of food.
In order to appease the people, the tribal nobles will take out the food in their hands and distribute it to the people, otherwise it will cause chaos.
So next year they won't have food at all, and Li Shen estimates that many people will probably eat next year's seeds.
"By the way, Aya, did you discuss the matter of eating Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses in the recital some time ago?" Li Shen asked
"Lu Guogong has been sent to lead 80,000 horses to wait for news in the Khitan territory. Hmph, Xue Yantuo is also a scourge, and sooner or later he will have to recruit them. ”
"Duke Luguo? Hou Junji? Li Shen was surprised, Hou Junji has not been enlightened since the last Gao Changguo incident,
More than two years have passed, and this time Li Shimin actually gave Hou Junji a gift. According to historical records, Hou Junji should have been executed this year for plotting against Li Chengqian.
This Li Shen has watched the TV series, but Li Chengqian has not rebelled now, so he has been idle at home.
"Aya, there's something wrong with saying no." Li Shen began to say in a crepe manner
"Say."
"I think it's better to let the eldest brother go to attack Goguryeo next year."
"Oh? Why is that? Li Shimin was interested.
Li Shimin wanted to drive the expedition in person, but Li Shen said to let Li Chengqian go.
"Aye's merits are already big enough, and the only thing that the eldest brother lacks now is even military merit. We don't have to fight to the death next year, little by little,
He thinks that we can attack them in the image of a righteous teacher, and if we take down a place, we will give the food and money of the place to the people.
and told them that the Tang Dynasty was here to rescue them, and the Tang Dynasty couldn't see them suffering, so the Tang Emperor sent people to send them food and money.
We will withdraw before their reinforcements arrive, and when their army returns to the city, it will be necessary to collect food and money.
If they don't, we can spread the word to them that the people have food and money in their hands.
At that time, the officers and soldiers will not only collect the ones that are issued, but they will definitely all be confiscated, making the people's livelihood miserable, and when we come back later, the people will naturally have a good impression of my Datang when they have a comparison.
We're taking a few cities, so that the people inside can live in peace and contentment, and let them get the word out.
It won't be long before we occupy them, and the people won't have much resistance, and they probably want us to occupy them. ”
Li Shen said his own strategy, which shocked Li Shimin, this son's method is actually very simple,
The founding emperors of all dynasties rebelled under the banner of asking for the people's lives. But in the end, they did all the things that oppressed the people.
But this was all used during the change of dynasties within the Central Plains, and was rarely used in foreign wars. Li Shimin didn't even need to discuss it, and he knew that this method was feasible.
Moreover, Li Shen said that what Li Chengqian lacked was military merit, which also made him quite agree, and he had already thought about this issue, but how to make Li Chengqian make meritorious service was a headache.
It is too dangerous to let the prince lead the troops to fight, and if the two armies are defeated, the prince is captured alive or killed in battle, then Li Shimin can commit suicide to worship his ancestors.
This conquest of Goguryeo was the best opportunity, and now Goguryeo is in chaos, wars are everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living.
It can be said that it is a steady win, as long as Li Chengqian issues a few orders in the rear according to the plan, and then goes to the occupied cities to shake around, he will have the credit.
"Aya, please take orders to conquer Goguryeo and share your worries for Aya." Li Chengqian is not a fool, after listening to Li Shen's words, of course he knows that this is an opportunity.
Immediately decided to kneel on one knee and asked to let him go.
"Good!! It's worthy of my Li family's son, but I need to discuss this matter with the three provinces and the Ministry of War, don't you two spread the word first? Li Shimin said happily when he saw Li Chengqian like this.
At least the prince knows how to seize the opportunity when he sees it, which is good. If Li Chengqian didn't know to step forward at this time, or was afraid, then Li Shimin was worried.
"Old ten, you are really quick-minded, you can think of such a poisonous scheme, no wonder you can make so much money." After praising Li Chengqian, Li Shimin praised Li Shen again.
"......" Li Shen was speechless.
How do you think this is not a good word, he pursed his lips and did not speak, he was afraid of the bamboo ruler in Li Shimin's hand.
In the pavilion in the distance, the first and fourth concubines and many concubines were watching here. Li Shimin chased his son to beat this is big news,
Of course, such a big melon will be eaten by many people. But as I ate, my taste changed, from watching the excitement to envy and jealousy.
They also thought that Li Shen would definitely be punished in the end, who would have thought that one of the two would dare to run and the other would dare to chase.
After running for a while, I finally sat down and chatted??? Has this king received such a great favor? And it became more and more energetic, and Li Shimin laughed a few times.
This makes these concubines who have sons full of envy and jealousy, but they don't dare to hate, it should be easy for Li Shen to rectify the prince who has come out of the domain.
Alas, it's really the same life.
(Li Shen's method is documented and can be checked.) )
