Those of you who sit on top of the country, can you take some responsibility for the country under your butts?
Li Yuan saw Li Ji staring blankly, silent for a long time, and an angry look flashed across his face, "Silang?!"
Li Ji came to his senses from Li Yuan's roar. He felt that Li Yuan's anger had already poured out of Tianling Gai. If he dared to say no, the end would definitely not be good.
"I can take it..."
Li Ji was perfunctory while thinking about countermeasures.
If he led the troops to deal with Liu Heitai, it would be almost in vain.
Li Sixing, Ling Jing, Xie Shufang, plus the unreliable Yu Wenbao, could not cope with the situation in Hebei.
In order to be responsible for his own life, and to be responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, he must ask Li Yuan for help.
Among the powerful civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty, apart from Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, and probably Li Jing, the only one who could help him stabilize the situation in Hebei, mobilize all the troops and horses to fight on his behalf, and achieve certain results in the harsh situation in Hebei was
.
Li Jing is in the General Manager's Mansion in Jingzhou. He is now asking Li Yuan to issue an order to summon Li Jing to Hebei. The trip will take at least more than a month.
In more than a month, he still needs to find someone else to mobilize troops and horses to withstand Liu Heita's offensive momentum and prevent the Turks from moving south.
Qu Tutong is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
After Qu Tutong surrendered to Tang Dynasty, he had been serving as Li Shimin's deputy.
Helped Li Shimin achieve many magnificent achievements.
If he serves as the temporary commander, even if he cannot achieve any results, he can ensure that the situation in Hebei will not worsen.
As for the other fierce generals who charge into the battle, the counselors who make plans, and the logistics personnel with outstanding abilities, they naturally bring along all they can.
The counselors under Li Yuan will Bao Yuan fiercely, the counselors under Li Jiancheng will Bao Yuan fiercely, the counselors under Li Shimin will Bao Yuan fiercely.
Going with such a luxurious lineup, even if he doesn't care about anything, the situation of the battle should not be bad, right?
As soon as Li Ji thought about this, he was immediately ready to speak.
Then Li Daozong was the first to speak and exclaimed: "Sage, think twice!"
Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Qu Tutong, Yu Wenshiji, etc. all followed suit.
“Sage, think twice!”
“Sage, think twice!”
"..."
There were hundreds of civil and military personnel in the hall, and except for Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, everyone else spoke one after another.
Li Ji looked stunned. Do you think too highly of me, or do you think too little of me?
Why don't you just let me lead a soldier?
I have already thought of a strategy. I may not win, but I will definitely not lose.
What do you mean by your unanimous collective opposition?
"snort!"
Li Yuan snorted heavily, expressing his inner dissatisfaction.
"I asked you to nominate a general, but you all kept silent. I made a decision, and you urged me to think again. What do you want from me?"
Li Yuan put on his airs and picked up the emperor's emphasis, saying "I" one by one, full of majesty.
Pei Ji bowed deeply to Li Yuan and said, "I think it is more appropriate for the King of Qin to lead the army."
"I will reconsider!"
"I will reconsider!"
"..."
Suddenly, Li Shimin was driven up.
But who is Li Shimin? He is an emperor through the ages. Such a scene is not difficult for him.
Li Shimin said with a troubled face: "Shimin, thank you all for your love, but the princess is pregnant these days. If I lead the troops on this expedition, I don't know when I will return.
When the princess gave birth to Chengqian, I was not with her. When the princess gave birth to Qingque, I was not there. When the princess gave birth to Lizi, I was still not there.
As a father and a husband, I am really ashamed that I cannot witness the birth of my child, nor can I understand the pain of my wife giving birth to children."
When Li Shimin said this, he bowed deeply to Li Yuan and said, "Please give me a chance, father, so that I can fulfill my duties as a father and husband."
Taishi ordered Fu Yi to frown and said: "How can family affairs be compared with state affairs?"
He didn't speak, and Li Ji didn't even notice his presence.
This is also a fierce man.
Although he is not famous in history, the things he did were terrible.
When he served as Taishi Ling during the Wude period, he did nothing else but write a letter asking Li Yuan to depose and destroy the Buddha.
I read a book almost once a year, and so far there has been no interruption.
Li Yuan almost listened to his advice several times, but was finally persuaded to go back by Li Jiancheng.
Although Li Tang worshiped Taoism, Li Jiancheng had a predestined relationship with Buddhism, so he was close to Buddhism.
Li Jiancheng's nickname is Bishamon, which comes from King Bishamon, the Buddhist god of wealth and protector. Li Jiancheng's princess is also named Guanyin, so Li Jiancheng believes that he has a predestined relationship with Buddhism and is very protective of Buddhism.
When Li Shimin heard Fu Yi's words, he looked straight at Fu Yi, "Taishi Ling is right, family affairs cannot be compared with state affairs. But now I have been named Tiance General, ranking above the three princes.
If I make new achievements again, what should my father grant me?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Yi fell silent for an instant.
The ministers in the main hall also fell silent.
Li Shimin's meaning is very simple. I have already surpassed my merits. I will no longer make meritorious deeds, which is good for everyone. If I make new meritorious deeds, can you persuade my father to give me the crown prince position, or can you let my father do it?
Abdication to make way for someone more worthy?
The ministers had no way to answer, so they could only keep silent.
Li Jiancheng's teeth were almost broken, but he couldn't shout "unbridled".
Li Shimin's words were a bit presumptuous, but the meaning was also for his own good.
Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin fiercely as if he were an enemy, "Follow me to the back hall!"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, he tossed his sleeves and angrily went to the back hall.
Li Shimin hesitated again and again, but still followed.
Li Jiancheng's face darkened and he could bleed.
Li Jiancheng had already guessed what Li Yuan would say to Li Shimin.
He was very angry, but he couldn't stop it.
Li Yuan has done this kind of thing twice.
Li Ji also guessed what Li Yuan would say to Li Shimin.
Li Yuan called Li Shimin to the back hall to draw a big cake.
Li Yuan will definitely say that when you return with a great victory, the position of prince belongs to you and Yunyun.
Li Shimin would not believe it at first.
But after Li Yuan takes Li Shimin and makes a triumphant return, Li Shimin will definitely be persuaded by Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan and Li Shimin appeared in the palace again, it was inevitable that Li Shimin would lead the army on the expedition.
Li Ji felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart, but also a little bit unwilling.
As long as his predecessor can live up to his expectations and leave a good impression on the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, maybe this time he can lead the most luxurious group in history to teach Liu Heitai how to behave.
Unfortunately, the predecessor did not live up to expectations.
So when Li Yuan asked him to lead the army, it was a joke from beginning to end.
Fortunately, he thought about it carefully.
Congested.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin chatted for a long time in the back hall over a stick of incense.
After a moment of burning incense, Li Yuan smiled brightly, and Li Shimin reappeared in front of people with a glowing face.
As soon as Li Yuan appeared, the man with a big horse and golden sword sat on the throne and said: "In this campaign against Liu Heitai, Shimin will be the marching marshal, Daozong will be the commander-in-chief of the front army, Yuan Ji will be the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and Yin Qiao will be the commander-in-chief of the left army.
, Liu Hongji was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Right Army.
The general Fan Shixing of the prison gate on the left, the prison gate general Li Shou (Luo Shou), and the military guard general Wang Junlang on the right were sent to Tiance Mansion to listen to them.
The general manager of Jiangzhou, Luo Shixin, and the general manager of Yunzhou, Guo Zihe, were transferred to the office of the general manager of Marching Army.
The rest of the subordinates are chosen by Shimin.
Send the Qin Palace to command the army, the Qi Palace to command the army, and the Shaanxi Province state troops and horses, totaling 50,000 people."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan paused for a moment, and amid the different expressions of everyone, he dropped another bombshell, "All the food and grass needed for this army trip will be raised by Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province on its own."
The ministers were stunned at first and were in an uproar.
During the Tang Dynasty's campaign against Liu Heita, the most difficult thing to solve was the problem of food and grass.
For this reason, Li Jiancheng had to give up the opportunity to go on an expedition and stayed in Chang'an City to raise food and fodder for the army.
For this reason, Li Yuan set traps one after another for Li Shimin, forcing Li Shimin to lead troops to the expedition.
Unexpectedly, there was a shocking reversal at the end.
Li Shimin not only agreed to lead the army on the expedition, but also seemed to have promised Li Yuan to raise food and grass on his own without the need for help from the court.
I don’t know how much money Li Yuan spent to make Li Shimin make such a promise.
No wonder Li Yuan had an iron face when he entered the apse, and a bright smile when he left the apse.
Only giving food and grass to men and horses can save a lot of expenses, and can also avoid being 'blackmailed' by the five surnames and seven looks, the aristocratic family members.
It's strange that Li Yuan is unhappy.
As for whether Li Shimin was firing cannons, Li Yuan was not worried at all.
He knows his son better than his father, and he knows Li Shimin very well. Li Shimin never fights a battle that he is not sure of, and he never says that it cannot be done.
Li Jiancheng was angry and shocked.
What makes him angry is that Li Yuan must have made a fuss about the position under his butt again, otherwise Li Shimin would not have made such a promise.
What's surprising is, how could Li Shimin conjure grain when the granaries everywhere were empty without going through him?
Li Jiancheng felt that Li Shimin might have more power than he knew, so he was determined to find out.
After Li Yuan announced that Li Shimin would lead the army and Li Shimin would raise food and grass by himself, Li Jiancheng slowly said, "The fierce general Lan Mou in my palace can be used, and the Chang'an order Wang Xu can also be used.
How about I transfer him to Erlang’s command and put him to use?”
When Li Shimin heard this, he knew that Li Jiancheng was trying to mix things up and plant spies, but he did not stop him. Instead, he said openly: "My brother's recommendation must be a talented person. Then I will accept it with a smile."
Li Shimin was not afraid of Li Jiancheng mixing in the sand and planting spies.
Since Li Jiancheng wanted to see it, he would let Li Jiancheng see it clearly and see how big the gap between them was.
He wanted to tell Li Jiancheng that he could do what Li Jiancheng could do, and he could do what Li Jiancheng couldn't do.
Even if he can't do it, he will find a way to do it.
For example, raising food and grass.
"that……"
Li Ji spoke dryly when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were tit for tat.
