Gan Yun was wandering outside the palace and saw Li Chengqian coming. The old eunuch quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Lao Gan, are you busy, Father?"

"Your Majesty is summoning Prime Minister Fang Du and General Li. His Majesty will be waiting for you later. The old slave will go in and report."

Later....

"My son has met my father."

Li Shimin nodded and pointed to the lower right corner of his head, indicating that Li Chengqian could do it.

"Cheng Qian, I just wanted someone to pass it on to you, but I didn't expect that you came first. This is the memorial from Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou. Please take a look."

He casually handed the memorial on the imperial case to Li Chengqian. It turned out that the Yi men of the Xueyantuo tribe could not bear the oppression of Jieli, and not long ago they called on the Huihe and other tribes such as Bayegu, Adi, Tongluo, Pugu and others who had made friends with him.

Resist the tyrant's rule.

Jieli sent his nephew Ashina Yugushe to suppress the Uighurs. However, Yugushe was defeated by the Uighur leader Bodhisattva, and Xue Yantuo defeated four other Turkic generals. Jieli was unable to subdue the Jile rebels from then on.

.

However, these Chile tribes wanted to make Yi Nan a khan, but Yi Nan did not dare to accept it at first. After the news reached Chang'an, Li Shimin discussed it with several close ministers, hoping to establish an anti-Eastern army led by Xue Yantuo.

The Turkic alliance was used to contain Jieli.

Later, he sent guerrilla general Qiao Shiwang to confer Yi Nan as Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Bijia Khan. From then on, many Chilean and Turkic tribes came under Yi Nan's rule.

The memorial in Li Chengqian's hand asked the emperor to take advantage of the civil strife in the Turks to send troops to attack the Turks. He also put forward six points in the memorial: Jieli was luxurious and cruel, killed Zhongliang, and got close to traitors. One of them was Xue Yantuo and other tribes who had rebelled and were shaken.

Its rule is second to none.

The third step is to make sudden gains, expand the land, and to build valleys, which will offend Jieli and make him lose his own land. The third reason is that the northern Saibei region has experienced frost and drought, and food is scarce. The fourth reason is that Jieli has alienated his people and entrusted heavy responsibilities to foreigners. The Hu people are capricious, and the disaster

As soon as the Tang army arrived, there was bound to be internal chaos. This is the fifth reason.

In the early years, the Han people went to the north to escape chaos. By this time, their numbers were relatively large. Recently, I heard that they gathered armed forces, occupied dangerous places, and marched out of the fortress. Naturally, there was an internal response. This is the sixth chapter.

After reading it, Li Chengqian closed the memorial and said: "Captain Zhang is indeed a famous general in our dynasty. His analysis of the Turkic situation is very logical. It can be seen that the Governor of Daizhou in the past three years has been really diligent."

Well, Li Shimin smiled and then said: "You dare to be cunning in front of me. Let's be practical. If you can't tell Cai'er, I will punish you severely. What do you think, my three dear friends?"

After Li Shimin finished teasing Li Chengqian, he turned to Fang Du and Li Jing. The three of them also laughed and looked at Li Chengqian.

They were well aware of Li Chengqian's performance in Minzhou. He could share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers and fight the enemy bloodyly for eight days at Tiemenguan. This was not something other princes could do. What impressed them even more was Li Chengqian's strategic considerations.

In their opinion, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy with the capabilities of Qin Shubao and Hou Junji. Although Li Chengqian's strategy is risky, the actual effect is to severely damage Tuyuhun and make him dare not look eastward. This solves the worries of the court and can concentrate on dealing with them.

Jie Li.

"Father, you know that my sons and ministers have always taken the lead in fighting. After the Tang Dynasty has been recuperating in the past few years, both the people's support and morale are available. Coupled with the civil strife in the Turks, it is indeed our army's Northern Expedition.

A perfect opportunity to regain lost ground.”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian walked to the map hanging on the side and looked at it for a while, then pointed at the territory of the Turks and said: "If what I expected is correct, my father and several adults want to attack the hinterland of the Turks from the east, and then send troops along the

The Yellow River attacks eastward.

Then we will move northwest from the direction of Lingzhou, adopt the strategy of splitting the attack, chasing and intercepting, and cooperate with Yi Nan, Tu Li and others inside and outside to defeat them one by one, and finally hunt in Jinshan."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian's hand stayed near Dingxiang and Mayi.

Li Jing stroked his beard and said: "Your Highness is a talented person, as expected. This is the result of your Majesty's discussion with your ministers.

In this way, not only can Jieli's military strength be gradually weakened so that they can't look after each other, but also the casualties of our army can be greatly reduced with the help of Tuli and others."

"Duke Dai is overly praised. It's just luck that Cheng Qian guessed it right."

Based on the deployment of several frontier armies on the map, a general offensive situation can be deduced, which shows Li Chengqian's military accomplishments.

Unlike Fang and Du, Li Jinghe didn't have much contact with him, so he didn't notice that Li Chengqian had something to say.

Du Ruhui then asked: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with this arrangement?"

"If we can fight quickly, then the plan will be seamless. But once the war reaches a stalemate, our army's supply lines are in danger of being cut off by the enemy at any time.

With an army traveling thousands of miles away, it is already very difficult to transport military supplies, and our army now has to divide its troops to attack on multiple routes. This means that it is necessary to divide our troops to guard the food roads, so how many troops can be used on the front line?"

Li Chengqian's words made several people petrified and stopped talking. This is indeed a big problem. If it doesn't work, all the previous efforts will be wasted. They were all blinded by the excitement and forgot that the most important thing is to go ahead with food and grass before the soldiers and horses are used.

Basic principles.

Li Shimin's face turned red immediately. Fortunately, he had been fighting for half his life, but his son exposed the last flaw. How could this not embarrass Li Shimin?

The embarrassment between the emperor and Fang Li fell into Du Ruhui's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, heroes have always been born in youth since ancient times. But in any case, Du Ruhui was also the prime minister of the current dynasty, so he still had some sense.

Then he stood up and saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, this is all due to the inconsideration of the ministers. Thanks to Your Highness, if the war is ineffective because of this, then the ministers will really be ashamed of themselves."

The emperor can never be wrong, no matter what the situation is. Du Ruhui said this to help the emperor and the three of them cover up their embarrassment. Secondly, he did not want Li Chengqian to displease the emperor because of his outspokenness. What he did was not only

For two of my own

The son who worked for Li Chengqian, the more important thing was that he was optimistic about Li Chengqian. Unlike Fang Xuanling, he never concealed his love for Li Chengqian. He was remarkable both in terms of national economy and people's livelihood and military.

Of course Li Chengqian knew that he had just made a mistake, and immediately smiled gratefully at Du Ruhui. He said: "Father, in the past when our army was in battle, although the generals who commanded the army also attached great importance to the problem of food supply, the army also set up officers to manage it.
