The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 776 Li Shimin's Strategy

Li Yuanji saw that his eldest brother was in the early stage, and he was not willing to lag behind. He came out and knelt down: "Father, my son has grown up and can stand alone. I am willing to lead a team to help my elder brother, so that the thief chieftain Yang Yong will be the first and last." Difficult."

Then, a buzzing voice sounded in the hall, and the hall shook the ground, "Father and I are also willing to go out with the army. Bandit Yang is nothing special. When I meet him again, my son smashed him flat with a hammer!" It's gone!" The civil and military officials saw that it was Li Yuanba who came out and fell to his knees.

Li Yuan had just established an heir, and in the blink of an eye, the four princes fell to their knees and three were vying to send troops to conquer Yang Yong. Except that Li Yuanba was a fool, these two people's thoughts were fully exposed. On the surface, they were sharing Li Yuan's worries and pacifying the world. Everyone has their own plans.

Only Li Shimin was indifferent in the train, but his wise eyes were not idle, which showed that it was not that he did not consider seeking the throne, but that he was hiding something.

Li Yuan saw his three sons vying to go to the army, and he was very happy. He asked them to get up and asked Ji Qunchen about Yang Yong's use of troops.

Because of Li Yuan's clear attitude, Yang Yong was determined to be an irreconcilable killer, and he wanted to destroy him quickly.Of course, all civil and military officials were also clamoring for fighting. Some advocated attacking from one route, some suggested using troops from two routes, some advocated attacking Tongguan, some advocated entering Henan to attack Luoyang, and some advocated starting from Shandong and detouring south of the Yangtze River. , and Xiao Xian attacked Yang Yong from both sides. There are different opinions and no consensus.

But Li Yuan noticed that there were several important court officials standing there without expressing their views. Apart from Qin Wang Li Shimin, these people also included the right servant She Pei Ji, the eldest grandson, father and son, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Xiaogong and so on.

Li Yuan's eyes fell on Pei Ji, "Pei Aiqing, why don't you say anything? I want to hear your opinion."

Pei Ji hurriedly got out of the class and knelt down, "Your Majesty knows that, my ministers agree with them, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Hey, this is a matter of court discussion. Of course, everyone has to express their own opinions. I will forgive you for your innocence. Just speak with your own body. Feel free to say what you think."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise, what I mean is that I do not agree to use troops against Yang Yong, at least not now. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have been fighting for years, and the people's livelihood is dying. Yang Yong is newly defeated, the morale of the general is low, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, so I think that it is not appropriate to use troops against Yang Yong at the moment." Pei Ji bravely spoke his mind.

Li Yuan frowned after listening. He knew that what Pei Ji said was very reasonable, but if Yang Yong didn't get rid of him, he would be restless all day long.

Zuo Pu shot Liu Wenjing saw that Li Yuan was thinking about getting out of class and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"Liu Aiqing get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Wenjing glanced at Pei Ji and said, "Your Majesty is wise, it is a once-in-a-lifetime time to use troops against Yang Yong. The crown prince and the king of Qin have successfully moved their troops. There is nothing wrong with the northern border. You can use your hands to deal with Yang Yong exclusively. Even more, Xiao Liang in the south is fighting with Yang Yong. At such a great time, Prime Minister Pei disagrees with His Majesty and does not advocate using troops against Yang Yong. May I ask Prime Minister Pei what does this mean? Is he scared by Yang Yong, or is it intentional? Expose His Majesty's scars?"

"You spitting blood!" Pei Ji hurriedly knelt down again, "Your Majesty, my minister has been wronged. Mr. Liu created something out of nothing and slandered you with slanderous words. Please punish him for framing the minister."

"Please punish Mr. Pei for the crime of negligence. The reason why His Majesty's personal conquest failed this time is of course the person who gave the plan..."

"Okay, okay!" Li Yuan's face sank like water, seeing that the two were fighting tit for tat and started arguing again, he quickly waved his hands to stop them.

Li Yuan felt that Pei and Liu had their own reasons, and his eyes fell on Li Shimin's face again, "Shimin, why don't you speak, tell me, should I use troops against Yang Yong?"

Li Shimin saw that it was impossible for him to speak up, so he had no choice but to stand up and salute: "Father, the emperor can only forgive my son for his innocence, so that my son dares to tell the truth."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, "I just forgive you, just tell me."

Li Shimin kowtowed his head again and stood up and said: "Father, the emperor is sympathetic. My son boldly agrees with Mr. Pei's intention and does not agree to use troops against Yang Yong at the moment. Although there is no war in the north, the Tang Dynasty has used troops year after year. The people are struggling to survive, poor and weak In contrast, Yang Yong's annexation of the five kings in the south of the Yangtze River has not diminished but increased his strength, as evidenced by his father's personal conquest. In addition, Xiao Liang in the south is just a local tyrant in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has no strength to fight against Yang Yong. , The Five Kings of the South of the Yangtze River are his lessons learned from the past. Facing strong opponents, one must first make himself stronger before he can compete against them. Therefore, I believe that it is best for both sides to stop fighting for the time being."

"Second brother, how can you grow the ambition of a thief and destroy your own prestige? This is not the style of the second brother. Could it be that the second brother who is invincible even if he is invincible is also timid to fight?" Qi Wang Li Yuanji interjected after going out to salute road.

"Yes, what's the matter with the second brother?" Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin with eyes like buns, and said in a buzzing voice, he also forgot the gift of the emperor and ministers in the Golden Palace, but everyone knew that he was a fool, and no one picked on him. .

Li Shimin shook his head and saluted upwards: "Father and emperor are wise, it is not that the people of the world are timid to fight. In terms of territory, the land under Yang Yong's rule is more than twice as large as that of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of military strength, Yang Yongxiong has no less than one million soldiers and many generals." There are thousands of generals, and there are countless generals who are used to fighting alone. Let alone Yang Yong's invincible power and invincible spear. Sorry, there are even Luo Song, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Su Dingfang, Qu Tutong, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, etc. who are brave and resourceful. I heard that this time he conquered Jiangnan and recruited two strong generals. The general of the shovel has crossed the world, and he is as powerful as a tiger with wings added. In addition, Li Jing is resourceful, Xu Maogong is shrewd, and Wei Zhengzhi knows everything. He said that the masters around Yang Yong are like a cloud. What do we use to confront these people? Can survive a hundred battles.”

"How do these second brothers know? Well then, Yuanba must have listened to the second brother's advice." Li Yuanba backed away talking to himself.

Li Jiancheng went out to salute and said: "Father, Emperor Shengming, we are resting and recuperating, and Yang Yong is also resting his troops. As the second brother said, how long will we have to wait? Will the thief Yang stop the conquest? My son is not talented, and he is willing to fight with him." The fourth younger brother Yuan Ji led a team to attack Yang Yong, the Liang divisions were so arrogant, and with the support of the Turks, they were vulnerable to a single blow, Yang Yong is nothing special, if he does not destroy this thief this time, I am willing to be the commander of the army."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to help the crown prince and the king of Qi." Liu Wenjing came out and saluted.

Li Yuan was not confused, after carefully savoring Li Shimin's words, he waved his hands and said to several people: "Shimin's words are reasonable, let's discuss about Yang Yong's use of troops in the future, retreat from the court!"

Li Shimin returned to Prince Qin's mansion, and found Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in his secret room, "You two, if this king guesses well, the emperor will definitely summon you from the palace tonight, what should you teach the little king?"

(The third one was delivered, it is gone tonight, and it will continue tomorrow morning.)
　The third is delivered.
