Seeing this, Han Liang hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. You must have heard about His Highness the King of Qi throwing a huge tree at Weize Pass. It is said that the huge tree weighed hundreds of kilograms. His Highness the King of Qi
It can be thrown easily, and its arm strength has probably reached a terrifying level.
If His Highness King Qi strikes with all his strength, Wang Junkuo may not be able to block it."
If Wang Junkuo couldn't block Li Yuanji's blow, then Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao would have no chance to take action.
Li Shimin frowned slightly and said nothing.
Yu Zhining also frowned and said, "Are we going to let Wang Junkuo avoid the battle?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi went to the battle in person. If Wang Junkuo avoided the battle, who would think highly of him in the Tang Dynasty in the future? Wang Junkuo is now a member of our Qin Palace. If he avoided the battle, the reputation of our Qin Palace would be weakened.
head."
"Yes, so Wang Junkuo must not avoid fighting."
"..."
The other counselors spoke one after another.
The only thing expressed is that Wang Junkuo cannot avoid fighting.
"Then let Wang Junkuo go into battle wearing iron armor. As long as he can take Yuanji's blow, I will immediately instruct Tan Douba and Kaishan to take action. If necessary, I will also instruct Shu Bao and Jingde to do the same."
After Li Shimin pondered for a while, he slowly spoke.
Since Wang Junkuo had no way to avoid the battle, he could only try his best to save his life in Li Yuanji's hands.
"Wang Junkuo is still a prince after all. Even if His Highness King Qi wants to teach Wang Junkuo a lesson, he will not really kill Wang Junkuo. Otherwise, His Highness King Qi will not be able to explain it to the saint.
As for the incident of His Highness King Qi throwing a giant tree at Weize Pass, it is just a rumor and we have not seen it with our own eyes.
We don’t know yet whether it is true or not, and whether there is any ground for spreading lies.”
Seeing that Han Liang thought too much of Li Yuanji, Yu Zhining could not help but stare at Han Liang and talk.
Just as Han Liang was about to speak, Yu Zhining said again: "As you all know, there has always been a tradition of boasting in the army. In order to motivate the soldiers and gain more benefits from the court, some generals always like to compare some ordinary battles to
Exaggerate and then publicize it.
The incident of His Highness King Qi throwing a huge tree at Weize Pass may not be exaggerated."
All the counselors nodded in agreement.
Even Li Shimin nodded.
There is indeed a tradition of boasting in the military. In addition to the two points mentioned by Yu Zhining, it also has the effect of calming the people's hearts.
For the common people, when a powerful enemy invades, they will inevitably be in panic all day long.
After the imperial court fended off the enemy with great difficulty, if the people were told the truth about the situation on the battlefield, the people might not feel at ease.
However, the imperial court slightly exaggerated the results of the battle at the front and told the people how the soldiers in the front easily repelled the enemy and how heroically took the enemy general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops. The people will definitely feel relieved after hearing this.
Because the people did not want to see the Tang Dynasty fighting back and forth with the enemy. If the fighting continued, it would mean that the Tang Dynasty might recruit soldiers from various places again, which might increase taxes in various places.
The enemy may also break through the Tang Dynasty's defense line at any time and appear in front of the people, making it impossible for the people to live peacefully.
The common people hoped to hear that the Tang Dynasty could easily crush and defeat the enemy. In that case, the common people could live with peace of mind.
Therefore, all battle reports throughout the history have included elements of boasting.
Even if the general leading the troops at the front is an honest man, he does not dare to cheat.
After a group of important ministers in the court have resigned and publicized it to the people, there will still be situations where they praise their merits.
Take the Weizeguan battle report that Li Yuanji had previously submitted to the court.
Li Yuanji did not praise Weizeguan's victory too much except for some manipulations in military achievements.
However, it was rejected by the imperial court.
Li Yuanji became an invincible commander with both wisdom and courage, and omnipotence.
Su Dingfang became a warrior who led dozens of horsemen and chased Liu Heitai with tens of thousands of people.
Xie Shufang also became a lone hero who went in and out of the Turkic camp.
Jieli became a mediocre Turkic Khan, Tuli became a mischievous and troublemaker, and Master Liang became a treacherous official who frequently slandered Jieli but failed him repeatedly.
Although insiders from both the government and the public know that it is a bit nonsense for the court to preach to the people like this.
But the people felt that the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, a warrior, should be like this.
"I hope His Highness King Qi's incident of throwing a giant tree at Weize Pass is just a rumor..."
When Han Liang saw that everyone agreed with Yu Zhining's statement, he no longer insisted on his position.
If you persist, you will have to argue with everyone.
There is no need for him to fight with his colleagues for the sake of Wang Junkuo.
He actually didn't care about Wang Junkuo's life or death.
Like Li Shimin, he only cared about Wang Junkuo's position as General Youwuwei.
Wang Junkuo is now General Youwuwei. As long as they help Wang Junkuo again, Wang Junkuo may not be able to take the position of General Youwuwei.
As long as Wang Junkuo takes the position of General Youwuwei, the palace gates controlled by Youwuwei in Taiji Palace will be theirs to decide.
"It must be spreading rumors."
Yu Zhining spoke without hesitation.
Regardless of whether it is spreading rumors, at this moment, it must be spreading rumors.
Because Wang Junkuo couldn't avoid fighting, it didn't make much difference whether he was spreading rumors or not.
Anyway, Wang Junkuo could not avoid a fight with Li Yuanji.
It would be better to say that it is just spreading rumors. Maybe Wang Junkuo will relax a lot and perform better.
"I will try my best to keep the king in good order, and you don't have to argue about this anymore."
Li Shimin waved his hand, telling Han Liang and Yu Zhining not to worry about this matter anymore.
Han Liang and Yu Zhining bowed and did not discuss the matter further.
Later, Li Shimin discussed other matters with Han Liang, Yu Zhining and others until midnight before letting Han Liang and others leave.

A night of silence.
The next day, the sky was bright.
Under Yu Wenbao's harassment, Li Yuanji got up early.
After getting up, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Yu Wenbao, "Why are you hanging outside my door so early in the morning?"
Yu Wenbao appeared outside Li Yuanji's dormitory at dawn and wandered around for most of the morning.
He was not afraid of disturbing Li Yuanji's rest, so he asked the guard at the door again and again, "Is Your Highness awake?"
Li Yuanji was woken up by his loud voice.
Yu Wenbao was not afraid of being questioned by Li Yuanji. Instead, he grinned and said, "Your Highness is going to compete with Wang Junkuo today. Do you want me to prepare a weapon for Your Highness?"
Yu Wenbao had long learned about Li Yuanji's feats outside Mingshui City from Su Dingfang, which was quite meant to recreate the scene outside Mingshui City in the past.
So I ran to Li Yuanji's residence early in the morning and wanted to know what weapon Li Yuanji used today.
If it were Ma Shan, then he would definitely have the opportunity to witness Li Yuanji's feats in the past.
If Ma Shan was not to be used, he would try to persuade Li Yuanji to see if he would change his mind.
Yu Wenbao mentioned weapons, and Li Yuanji was also stunned.
Li Yuanji is different from his predecessor in that he is not obsessed with a single weapon, the Ma Shu.
Li Yuanji is willing to use any weapon, as long as he has it handy.
"What do you think of the knife?"
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao and asked.
Although the slapping knife is a weapon for infantry combat, the handle of the slapping knife is long enough and can be used immediately.
Moreover, the slapping knife is heavy enough. With Li Yuanji's current strength, he should be able to use it with ease.
The original horse sword and horizontal sword were already a bit light when he used them.
"Clap the knife?"
Yu Wenbao scratched his head and asked, "The kind of knife that stupid guy under King Wu carries?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Yu Wenbao.
You still have the nerve to call others stupid.
"Your Highness, we don't have this kind of sword in our house, and it's too late to make one now. Why don't I go find that stupid guy under King Wu and grab one?"
Yu Wenbao said with a serious face.
Li Yuanji stared at Yu Wenbao and said curiously: "How do you, as a marquis, talk about robbery so confidently?"
Yu Wenbao puffed up his chest and said boldly: "It is their blessing that His Highness is interested in their weapons. If they don't offer them, of course I will have to lead someone to snatch them.
After robbing them, I have to give them a good beating so that they can have their eyesight. If there are any good things in the future, I will present them to His Highness as soon as possible."
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
I thought that Yu Wenbao would gain some brains after hanging out with Su Dingfang and others.
The result is still the same.
"The stupid big guy you are talking about may not look like much, but he is the county magistrate made by my father. You are a prince and you ran to snatch a magistrate. If someone beats you up, I can't help you to explain."
Li Yuanji said speechlessly.
Yu Wenbao said nonchalantly: "Then bring Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, they are also father-in-law."
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao fiercely, "Kan Leng is Li Fuwei's man. If Li Fuwei comes forward, do you still want to take me with you?"
Yu Wenbao heard Li Yuanji's unkind tone and realized that he might have said the wrong thing. He quickly said with a smile: "I don't dare...I don't dare..."
Li Yuanji snorted and said: "Since there is no Paidao, there is no need for it."
If you use a slap knife, Wang Junkuo and the horse under Wang Junkuo's crotch will probably be split into two with one strike.
When the time comes, you will get bloody pricks, which will have a bad impact.
When word spread, others thought Li Yuanji wanted to kill Wang Junkuo on purpose.
Wang Junkuo could only be beaten to death by mistake, and he could never be beaten to death intentionally, otherwise he would be in great trouble.
"Go get me an Iron Bone Flower."
After Li Yuanji thought for a while, he gave Yu Wenbao instructions.
The iron bone is a weapon similar to a mace, except that there are no spikes on the bone.
The mace was a weapon widely used in the Song Dynasty and after.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were no weapons like maces in the army.
Even the Iron Bone Duo is just a torture tool, not a weapon for combat.
