My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 280 Abandoning the horses and directly overwhelming the land with millions of troops!
In Chang'an City, Li Shimin saw that it was almost time, so he let everyone disperse, and he also left with his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.

Li Shimin had seriously thought about the timing of beating gongs and drums.

Just enough for the dog to notice, and before he gets angry and turns around to seek revenge on himself, he can run away at the speed of light.

All in all, it's perfect!
Li Shimin is happy to do things that make the big dog uncomfortable.

Li Shimin led everyone out of the city gate and returned to the imperial study.

"Xuanling!"

Just as he sat down, Li Shimin suddenly spoke.

When everyone looked over, he continued: "It won't be long before the big dog will be in charge of more than [-]% of the blacksmith shops in the Tang Dynasty."

"Do you think it is possible to hand over the order for the weapons that will be used as prisons to the big dog?"

"Since he is confident, he must have his own uniqueness in running so many blacksmith shops."

The three people who were wondering what His Majesty was going to say were shocked when they heard the words!
Well done, why does His Majesty have such an idea?
"Your Majesty, why do you have such thoughts?" Fang Xuanling asked worriedly.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were similar, very nervous.

"Even if the prince is trustworthy, but this kind of precedent is really impossible!"

"In my Tang Dynasty, only more than 30 people were sentenced to death by beheading last year. It is because the manufacture of weapons is prohibited among the people, the public security is stable, and the country is rich and the people are safe."

"If this ban is lifted, I am afraid that the people will be in chaos, and even the curfew will lose its due effect!"

"And there will be a risk of mobilizing a crowd to rebel!"

"Do not worry!"

Li Shimin pressed his hand slightly, and continued:
"What I mean is, give the weapons to the big dog's shop and not to anyone else."

"Although the big dog is really a dog, his heart for me, Datang, is also the most sincere."

"For the big dog, I can still trust it."

"His Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling was still smiling wryly: "But the risk is too great, right?"

"How about drawing it slowly?"

"That's right! That's right!"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui also agreed.

Although they also believed in the prince, His Majesty's move was too risky, right?
"And now that I am in Datang, although the border is tense, there is no super-large war breaking out. It is really unnecessary."

"Who said no?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin interrupted suddenly, and smiled slightly at the bewildered four: "My Tang Dynasty, there will be a super war to be fought soon!"

"what!"

The three were shocked!

Datang is going to fight soon?Why do they have no idea?

Then Li Shimin explained Wang Yuan's plan intact.

"I hid it from you before because I was afraid that something would happen."

"And now, it's time to confess directly!"

Li Shimin smiled confidently.

He didn't tell everyone before because he was afraid that there would be traitors in the court who would reveal the plan of the big dog.

But after these days of torment, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated the ability of the big dog.

With the wisdom of a big dog, would he not be able to see the weirdness of those things before?

I'm afraid I have already noticed it.

Especially this time, he took the initiative to sneak into Honglu Temple and interrogate Songtsan Gampo.

In fact, these days, while Li Shimin is monitoring Gou Dahu, he has also sent people to interrogate Songtsan Gampo to find out what Gou Dahu is asking.

Although Li Shimin couldn't understand any of the problems of the big dog.

But he can also understand that the big dog is investigating the truth!

And there are likely to be some results already.

Obviously, the big dog family has long been aware of my worries, and it is likely that they have countermeasures.

That being the case, what are you still afraid of?
What should be installed should be installed, and what should be proud is proud!
If you keep it, it will just let the big dog enter the court in the future and make a fool of yourself in front of you!

While Li Shimin was determined, the other three were already dumbfounded!

OMG!

"No wonder, Your Majesty, you want to give in to that Fu Yun!"

"It turns out that Prince Wang is playing such a big game of chess!"

"Annexation of the Altun Grassland at one time is indeed something that only princes can come up with!"

"Too bold!"

"so amazing!"

"Your Majesty, it's hard for you to hide it from us!"

The three of them were amazed at each other, and all of them were horrified.

All the confusion in my heart in the past was completely wiped out at this moment!
Although I haven't seen the wolf totem with my own eyes, if it can be recognized by His Majesty, it means that it must be not bad!

The Altun Grassland is completely boiling and in turmoil, and it will not be long!
No wonder His Majesty has such an idea, it turns out that Datang will soon usher in an unprecedented super war!
Annexing the Altyn Grassland at one time is a feat that even the emperors have not accomplished since ancient times!
"Until now, do you still want to persuade me?"

Li Shimin's half smile was not a smile, and the three of them laughed wryly.

His Majesty just likes to pretend, and he can clearly make it clear from the beginning, and he will only tell the truth if he has enough appetite for them.

"It can indeed be considered."

"However, Your Majesty, I think it's not too late to deal with this matter after a thorough showdown with the prince."

"My lord, he is not a fool. It is absolutely impossible to handle such a big event as the opening of weapon casting, just by us as businessmen."

"indeed!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and added: "Decentralizing the casting of weapons means that people have the ability to rebel."

"If the current Majesty has never met the prince, then he will never do such a thing!"

"You are right."

Li Shimin agrees.

"It seems that this matter will be temporarily delayed."

In fact, it stands to reason that the time has come for a showdown.

Because there is no need to hide it anymore.

However, because too many strange things have happened recently, Li Shimin still wants to keep a hand and use his identity to cover the big dog.

As long as he doesn't show his cards, then the big dog will not show up to the bright side, and he can always watch in the dark and look at everything with the mentality of a bystander.

And with a big dog behind him, I will feel more at ease.

"Big dog, it's really reassuring!"

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing.

Even though he didn't want to admit it in his heart, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still felt an unprecedented sense of security from Wang Yuan!

"I really want to grab all those blacksmith shops from him."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the three of them smiled wryly.

Rob the blacksmith shop of the big dog?

That is really courting death.

After discussing other details, the mood of several people is very relaxed.

Now, the big dog has left Chang'an City.

Coupled with the news that they were going to launch troops against the Western Turks, several people were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin summoned his ministers in Ganlu Hall.

The morning court had only just begun, and seeing His Majesty's serious expression, the expressions of many ministers changed a little.

Without exception, they all come from major families.

Could it be that he was violating His Majesty's will, and was exposing the fact that he kept throwing stones at the Lord Protector?
Your Majesty intends to settle accounts with them this morning?

For a while, many ministers became panicked.

In fact, they were very skeptical about whether they had cheated Duke Huguo or not.

However, the Lord Protector couldn't stand it and backed down again and again, and His Majesty also made "crazy" assists, which proved again and again that the Lord Protector was already guilty.

So they can only go one way to the end.

Li Shimin looked at the expressions of the crowd, and after being slightly taken aback, he immediately understood what they were thinking.

Involuntarily, some gloated in my heart.

Unexpectedly, until now, these guys are still kept in the dark and don't know what happened.

Forget it, anyway, the big dog has left Chang'an City, let these aristocratic families continue to do whatever they want to do.

Li Shimin was very calm, full of confidence, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly:
"Don't worry, this morning, I don't want to talk about the Lord Protector, but I want to discuss it with you."

"The attack on Tuguhun!"

"what!"

Hearing this, there was an uproar in Ganlu Hall!

Originally, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that His Majesty had no plans to settle accounts after the fall.

Never expected that His Majesty wanted to discuss how to attack Tuyuhun!
But didn't His Majesty hint a few days ago that Datang should be subdued first?

Why have you changed your attitude now?

Feeling everyone's astonishment, Li Shimin's old god was there.

"Where is the Minister of the Ministry of War? What's the news on the border these days?"

"Chen is here!"

Hearing the order, Han Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of War, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there was a military report in the early hours of yesterday that [-] soldiers from the Tang Dynasty have arrived in Liangzhou and are now confronting Fu Yun."

"But this is the limit. It is difficult to mobilize more troops in a short time."

"Currently, Fu Yun has accepted all the gifts, but he is still talking nonsense."

"I am required to completely withdraw from the snow-covered plateau before mid-April, restore Tubo, pay 1000 million yuan in compensation, and send ten princesses to marry him."

"Otherwise, it will cause disaster to more than ten continents around, and let the people of Tang Dynasty bleed like rivers!"

At the end, Han Yuan was already furious, and his tone was extremely excited.

But Li Shimin's expression was still calm, showing no emotion.

He knew this news yesterday when he beat the gongs and drums to bid farewell to the big dog.

Letting Han Yuan stand up now is just to let him repeat it for everyone to know.

The situation was just as Li Shimin expected, as soon as Han Yuan's voice fell, there was an uproar in the Palace of Ganlu!
The expressions of countless ministers changed drastically, some were nervous, some were breaking out in cold sweat, and some were cursing loudly.

"Are you kidding me? Who gave Fu Yun the courage!"

"It's outrageous! Don't take me, Da Tang seriously!"

Obviously, they were all annoyed by Fu Yun's threat.

Our Tang Dynasty has already given away dresses, but this guy still refuses to give in at all.

He still dares to continue to speak, saying that if the Tang army is not allowed to withdraw from the snow-covered plateau before mid-April, it will bloodbath the surrounding ten continents.

The spring plowing in the pass ends at the end of April or the beginning of May.

In other words, Fu Yun seized this opportunity to exert extreme pressure on Datang.

Not only do you want Tubo to restore the country, but you also need to pay tens of millions of dollars?

Not only cede land, but also compensate!
And ten Princesses of the Tang Dynasty?

Is it a commodity when they are the princesses of the Tang Dynasty?

Really good expansion!

How dare that Fu Yun propose such a condition?
In fact, Fu Yun's idea is very simple.

If it was just the beginning, he was still a little worried, thinking that there was a [-]% chance that Datang would get angry.

Now, Fu Yun believes that the possibility of Datang launching a war is less than [-]%.

After all, the spring plowing has already started completely, and it is absolutely impossible for Datang to give up halfway, especially the land of Liaodong, which cannot be left at all.

Therefore, no matter how outrageous the request he made, Datang had only one way to agree.

Otherwise, facing his own army of 25, countless people in Datang would die tragically!

"quiet!"

Li Shimin raised his hand and pressed down slightly, making everyone quiet.

"If the food consumption of war horses is discarded, and the progress of spring plowing in various state capitals is accelerated, how many troops can be summoned to Liangzhou in early May?"

Although I don't know what the meaning of His Majesty's question is, after all, it's the beginning of May, and it is estimated that Tuyuhun has already finished his fight and fled.

However, Han Yuan still obeyed the order and began to calculate silently in his heart.

It didn't take long for him to have an answer.

"I report to Your Majesty, if the food loss of war horses is eliminated, the progress of spring plowing in various state capitals will be accelerated."

"My Tang Dynasty can gather more than 50 troops to Liangzhou in early May!"

"And the food is completely enough for them to fight for three months!"

As soon as the words fell, the heaviness in the hearts of everyone present slightly disappeared.

Yes!

This is the true strength of their Datang!

Once the spring plowing is over, an army of more than 50 can be dispatched immediately!

Which country in the world can do this?
If Fu Yun hadn't seized the opportunity, at this uncomfortable time, how could Datang have fallen into such a mess?

"very good!"

Hearing this answer, Li Shimin was delighted!

"Then transfer another 50 from Youzhou!"

"As soon as the spring plowing is over, immediately go to the northwest border to stand by, and millions of troops are pressing down on the border!"

"Wait for the beginning of May, and send troops to level the entire Altun Grassland!"

"what!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked except Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others who had known about it for a long time.

Wei Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said sharply, "Your Majesty, you are so confused!"

"Tuguhun is a country in the grasslands. When fighting with their grassland cavalry, horses are the most important thing!"

"Not to mention that there is such a giant as the Western Turks in the Altyn Grassland!"

"Whether Fu Yun will give us time or not, if it can be delayed until May, do you want our soldiers to use a pair of legs to chase the horse?"

"Foolish Lord! Faint Lord!"

"Hahaha!"

However, facing Wei Zheng's verbal abuse, Li Shimin laughed out loud, very unhappy.

"Xuan Cheng, you are right!"

"But have you ever thought that our Datang army went to the Altun Grassland not to fight, but to finish it?"

"Those prairie barbarians are not worthy of my Great Tang soldiers!"
