It's a pity that those in power don't need the unyielding backbone of the common people, because once the common people have unyielding backbone, the first ones to backfire are those in power.
As a person in power, what Li Yuanji should do most is to guide and speculate on the people.
But as a Han Chinese, especially a Han Chinese who has seen the history of panic and humiliation that the Han people have suffered, Li Yuanji hopes to help the people grow unyielding spine.
However, this needs to be done after the things at hand are finished, and it is not appropriate to do it now.
"I feel Mr. Liang's willingness to fight. I am very pleased. Then I will tell Mr. Liang what I think..."
Li Yuanji was very satisfied with An Xinggui's reaction. This one of the sixteen heroes of the Wude Dynasty did not have any dissent due to the change of power in the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, he still maintained a certain degree of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
Immediately, Li Yuanji explained his plan to attack the Turkic royal court.
An Xinggui's eyes were dazzled when he heard this, and he was so happy that he slapped his thighs. He wished he could return to Liangzhou now and lead his people into the Turkic royal court.
Li Jing frowned upon hearing this.
He was different from An Xinggui. The reason why An Xinggui was dazzled and overjoyed was purely because he was attracted by the supreme achievements that could be achieved by sneak attack on the Turkic royal court. He noticed the difficulties in it.
Although the royal court of the Turks was far less well-defended than the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and there were not as many soldiers and horses stationed in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it was still the heart and soul of a huge khanate.
There were countless tribes entrenched around him, and there were also some palace cavalry left by Jieli to guard Kehe Dun. If a hundred cavalry were to attack in a sneak attack, they would never be able to get close to the Golden Wolf Tent, which symbolized Jieli Khan's identity.
Therefore, the number of people involved in a sneak attack must reach a thousand, or even more, in order to achieve success.
How so many people concealed their identities and appeared unexpectedly at the Turkic Royal Court required precise arrangements.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be done by Li Yuanji with just a word. It requires careful discussion, good planning, and good deployment.
As the main person who went to attack the Turkic Royal Court this time, Li Jing did not hide it, and there was no need to hide it. He immediately asked the doubts in his heart, "Does Your Highness have a careful plan and is he going to send that person?"
Are you accompanied by troops and horses?"
Li Yuanji also did not hide it, and said cheerfully: "My plan is that when the Turks invade this time and the interior is empty, you will sneak attack on the Turk royal court.
As for how to launch a sneak attack and bring those people, you and Liang Gong will discuss it together.
I have already said hello to all the soldiers and horses in the capital. You can go and pick people, but you can take away anyone you like."
This was extremely irresponsible, but Li Jing was obviously relieved after hearing it.
The biggest fear when doing this kind of thing is that someone is giving blind orders behind the scenes, especially someone who is hiding thousands of miles away and doesn't understand anything.
Now, Li Yuanji has given him great autonomy, and he has great room for development.
The success rate of doing this kind of thing is much higher.
"Your Highness is right. The large-scale Turkic invasion this time is indeed a God-given opportunity to sneak attack on the Turkic Royal Court. Since Your Highness trusts me and allows me to do things conveniently, I will definitely try my best to achieve your Highness's purpose."
I will not disappoint His Highness."
It was only at this moment that Li Jing agreed to sneak attack on the Turkic Royal Court.
However, when he spoke, he kept in mind that he would take advantage of the situation.
This right doesn't sound like much, but it is extremely useful.
Many generals and commanders who are on military expeditions want to have this authority.
Because possessing this authority is equivalent to possessing the sword of Shangfang.
As long as you don't rebel, you can do whatever you want with other things.
Li Yuanji knew very well that if he wanted a horse to run, he had to let go of the reins and let the horse eat grass, so he pretended not to notice Li Jing's little thought.
"Then the matter of sneak attack on the Turkic Royal Court will be left to you two. As for how to do it and how to select people, it will be discussed by the two of you."
Li Yuanji said with a smile, and then said to Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Xie Shufang and others: "You stay here and help Liang Gong and Li Jing check for leaks and fill in the vacancies. If they need anything, or if they have any talent in their sights,
Just open the door wide for convenience."
Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Xie Shufang and others all agreed.
An Xinggui and Li Jing couldn't believe their ears, and they were also a little flattered.
Because it was the first time this kind of thing happened in Datang, and it was also the first time they saw it.
In the past, when the Tang Dynasty had a military situation, the leaders of the Tang Dynasty would sit with them to discuss the military situation, discuss countermeasures, and finally select a suitable member of their family to lead the army. If that didn't work, they would go into battle themselves.
Li Yuan is like this, Li Jiancheng is like this, and Li Shimin is like this.
Li Yuanji suddenly became the hands-off shopkeeper, which made them a little uncomfortable and couldn't believe it.
"Does Mr. Liang find it incredible?"
Li Shentong asked happily when An Xinggui's expression was both astonished and flattered.
An Xinggui and Li Shentong are old acquaintances. When he first came to Beijing, it was Li Shentong who received him. When he and Li Yuan had a banquet, Li Shentong was also accompanying him, so he and Li Shentong were considered acquaintances.
Can strike up a conversation.
Facing Li Shentong's question, An Xinggui nodded and said hesitantly: "This His Highness... seems to be a little different from the saint and the other two His Highnesses?"
Li Shentong laughed and said: "Of course it's different, otherwise he wouldn't be the one sitting here now."
An Xinggui moved his lips and said nothing.
The internal struggles within the royal family were not something that he, a feudal official, could judge.
Everyone else can do it, but he can't.
Because he has a certain number of soldiers and horses under his command, his attitude also represents the attitude of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.
So he couldn't express his position easily, nor could he say anything easily.
Even though everything has settled.
Li Shentong noticed An Xinggui's caution and said with a smile: "The biggest characteristic of our Highness is that he has self-awareness and tolerance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He knows that his ability in leading troops in combat is far inferior to that of you and Li Jing, so he just handed over the task to you and will not interfere with what you do.
Leading troops will not interfere with how you lead troops in battle.
So you don’t have to feel weird.”
Several core figures of the Tang Dynasty were almost all versatile in both civil and military affairs, especially Li Shimin, who had already achieved the reputation of an invincible commander on the battlefield.
Therefore, the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty have become accustomed to being led by the core figures of the Tang Dynasty when participating in and discussing politics.
Nowadays, the core figures of the Tang Dynasty are no longer in charge, which makes An Xinggui and Li Jing a little uncomfortable.
Now, after Li Shentong's explanation, they understood and expressed their understanding, and even raised their hands and feet in their hearts to express their approval.
Because this kind of thing has only advantages and no disadvantages for the generals who command the troops.
It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of lord who only gives orders and does not care about anything else is the lord that all their generals dream of.
Under the leadership of this kind of lord, they can fully display their talents on the battlefield without worrying about being held back or being restricted by various rules and regulations.
"Your Highness is indeed very human."
An Xinggui sighed in his heart for a long time. He wanted to say a few words to praise Li Yuanji, but he ran out of words and couldn't find any suitable words. In the end, he could only say this.
Li Shentong laughed slightly mockingly. He understood An Xinggui's embarrassment of wanting to praise Li Yuanji but not being able to find the right words.
Because after he learned that Li Yuanji had this attitude towards everyone who went out to fight, he also had the same attitude.
In his view, Li Yuanji's actions could easily encourage the generals' ambitions. When the generals' ambitions reached a certain level, they would rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
When he asked Li Yuanji about this question, Li Yuanji actually gave him an unexpected answer.
That is, 'Those who should rebel will rebel sooner or later. Even if you keep an eye on him and guard against him, he will still rebel. It is better to lure them out as soon as possible and catch them all'.
He felt that Li Yuanji was inducing people to commit crimes, and he argued with Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji told him that the root cause of crime is the human heart, because people's desires give them a restless heart.
If this heart is not destroyed, even if you guard it tightly, you will still commit crimes.
He also used himself as an example, saying, "I just don't have that desire, and I don't have that restless heart, so even if my father gave the jade seal to me, I didn't sit in that position."
He couldn't refute this.
Because after he helped appease the vassal kings in various places, and after Qu Tongtu and Li Chengqian appeased the officials at all levels in Shaanxi Province, whether Li Yuanji sat in that position was the master of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, that position is now at Li Yuanji's feet. Even if Li Yuanji steps into it, there won't be many people who will object.
When Li Yuanji became emperor, saying that he did not have that desire was no longer an empty talk, because he did it.
So faced with Li Yuanji's words, he was completely unable to refute.
"His Highness is indeed very human, but now is not the time for us to praise His Highness. Since His Highness trusts us and has entrusted everything to us, shouldn't it be time for us to discuss business matters?"
Li Jing, like Tang Jian, was a man of action.
It's just that Tang Jian's practical work was in government affairs, and Li Jing's practical work was in military affairs.
After receiving a major military mission and gaining great trust, Li Jing had no time to think about anything else. He just wanted to discuss a suitable sneak attack plan as soon as possible and complete it as soon as possible.
"Hahaha, pharmacist, you can't wait any longer."
Among the people present, most of them were not familiar with Li Jing. Only Li Xiaogong was familiar with him, and only Li Xiaogong dared to tease Li Jing like this.

Because Li Jing was once a general under Li Xiaogong and served as Li Xiaogong's deputy.
Facing Li Xiaogong's teasing, Li Jing showed a rare smile and said: "Commander, you know me. As long as I encounter war, I have no time to think about other things."
