"Since you can convince my father and the officials, then it's up to you."
Li Shimin was silent for a long time and said nonchalantly, but Li Yuanji could see that he felt very uncomfortable, otherwise his teeth would not bite together.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "That's it, let's talk about the war in Daizhou?"
When it came to the war in Daizhou, Li Shimin curled his lips and said without any interest: "What is there to say about the war in Daizhou?"
Su Dingfang in Daizhou is completely different from Li Jing in his military use. Li Jing likes to use the good to assist the odd and win with the odd. To put it simply, it means equalizing, or having more troops and horses than the enemy, or being stronger than the enemy.
Use your strength to suppress the enemy, and then use a surprising move to defeat the enemy with one move, winning the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
Whether it was the previous battle to conquer Nanliang, the subsequent battle to conquer Fugongyou, or the current battle to conquer the Turks, Li Jing adopted this strategy.
The advantage of this strategy is that it can greatly save troops and defeat the enemy very quickly.
Although when a surprise victory is achieved, the enemy can easily notice it and send out a large army to encircle and suppress it, resulting in failure, but in terms of innate ability, it is almost invincible.
Because Li Jing did not simply use surprise to win, using a very small number of troops to make a big gain with a small force, but he made a surprise move when his troops were equal in strength.
Therefore, even if the enemy is aware of it and is surrounded by the enemy, at most it will only result in the loss of a surprise force, which will not lead to a complete rout.
Li Jing has the opportunity to make a comeback anytime and anywhere, and even after the unexpected move fails, he can fight the enemy head-on in an upright manner.
To sum it up in one sentence, Li Jing likes to use equal forces to intimidate the enemy, or to stabilize the rear area, and then stab the enemy in the heart with an awl.
If he stabs him, the enemy dies, and he wins. If he misses, he can still fight the enemy fiercely with the same force. It is impossible for the enemy to defeat Li Jing by defeating Li Jing's extraordinary troops.
And fighting the enemy head-on in an upright way was Li Jing's last resort.
But so far, no one has seen Li Jing use his last resort.
Because neither Nanliang, Fu Gongyou, nor the Turks were defeated without forcing Li Jing to use the last resort.
In comparison, Su Dingfang's way of using troops is completely different from Li Jing's. Su Dingfang likes to use surprise to supplement the good and defeat the enemy in an upright way. Moreover, Su Dingfang is very stable in using troops. He can really encircle without attacking and kill his own people.
Turn the enemy around in panic, and finally win with one blow when you are most confident.
During his attack on the Liang Kingdom this time, he surrounded a city in the Liang Kingdom for ten days. The Liang army in the city was calm at the beginning and then panicked, and the Tang soldiers outside the city went from preparation to the next.
After the success of the siege, he was impatient. When he ordered the formal siege, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty pounced on them like wolves, destroying everything they saw. Liang Jun who stood in front of them saw
When they looked so crazy, some people were scared to death.
When the Liang army in the city was surrounded and panicked, they did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Tang soldiers outside the city. They were almost defeated in one blow.
Su Dingfang then chased the defeated troops and asked them to spread panic in one city after another, announcing the strength of the Tang army. Then he led his army to attack the city, eating away at all the cities in the Liang Kingdom step by step.
As of the current position, Su Dingfang has captured half of the cities in Liang Kingdom.
Master Liang was about to kneel down in front of Sunishi's tent and begged Sunishi to send troops to help him, but Sunishi remained silent.
To be honest, Su Dingfang's way of using troops was very different from his way of charging into battle.
When he was using troops, he was incredibly steady, and when he was charging into battle, he was so reckless that he was almost crazy.
The most direct example is when he first fell to the Tang Dynasty, during the Battle of Weize Pass, he attacked Liu Heitai's military camp.
With a small number of cavalry, he rushed into Liu Heitai's military camp in one breath, chased Liu Heitai for thirty miles, and finally took off Liu Heitai's head.
If he had the same temperament when using troops, he would not have besieged a city in Liang for about ten days.
If he hadn't known about the records about him in history and how he used troops, Li Yuanji would have really doubted whether he had replaced someone else.
After all, his awareness of how to use and lead troops is really great.
Also thanks to his ability to use his troops as steadily as a dog, the current war in Daizhou is very stable, and the outcome has been determined, so it does not require too much attention.
This is why Li Shimin said, "What's there to say about the war in Daizhou?"
"Then let's talk about Suni's loss of troops?"
Li Yuanji asked again with a smile.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "It's been almost a month since we handed over the surrender document to Sunishi. Sunishi hasn't made any movement yet. It's indeed a bit abnormal."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "So should we send someone to contact Sunisu again?"
Logically speaking, it was reasonable for Sunisi not to express his position before, but now that Jieli has been defeated and the Turks are about to be destroyed, it is a bit unreasonable for him not to express his position.
After all, if he didn't take a stand before, he could explain it by saying that he was waiting for Datang and Jie Li to compete before making a choice. But now that Jie Li has been defeated and doesn't even know where he has fled, he still hasn't taken a stand.
, that would be completely abnormal.
Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "It's time to send someone to contact him again, but I have some bad premonitions."
Li Yuanji was stunned and asked: "What does second brother mean by this?"
Li Shimin thought about it and said, "Something might have happened to Sunisu."
Li Yuanji was stunned again and said: "Second brother, you mean that Sunisu may be dead?"
When the Turks were about to be destroyed, Sunis still didn't react at all, saying that he didn't care about the survival of the Turks, and it was impossible not to worry about the death of his lips and teeth.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The only explanation is that he may be dead.
Only the dead can't pay attention to anything, and can't make a choice about anything.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's very possible. At present, apart from Sunis himself, only Ashina Sheer and Sunis' eldest son Ashina Bil are the most powerful.
Although Ashinasheer said that he surrendered to Sunishi, it did not mean that he would surrender to Ashinabili.
Therefore, once something changes in Suni's lost department, the two of them will inevitably embark on the road of fighting for power."
Li Yuanji frowned slightly and said, "I remember Ashina She'er is not the kind of person who likes to fight. Will he fight for power with Ashina Bill?"
Li Shimin hummed and said: "If he didn't fight before, it was because the Turks didn't have a life-or-death crisis. If he doesn't fight now, the Turks would really be gone. So he will fight for the Turks."
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully and said: "In this case, Suni's lost tribe is likely to be in civil strife now, so it is impossible to make any decisions.
However, these are all our guesses, and we still have to send someone to take a look in person."
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and said: "Just send Xue Shou. He is close and he has the ability to protect himself."
Li Yuanji thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let Xue accept it."
Although Xue Shou was Li Shimin's man, Li Shimin's purpose of sending Xue Shou as an envoy to Suni was probably not pure at this time.
But Xue Shou alone cannot make any big waves in a foreign country.
Neither Ashinashe'er nor Ashinabili could listen to Xue Shou, let alone join forces to help Li Shimin recover.
After everything was discussed and settled, Li Yuanji sent someone to deliver the message and order.
In early July, documents instructing Li Shiji to cut off one hundred households of Li Shiji were delivered to Li Shiji. At the same time, letters and documents asking Li Yuan to go to Longyou to worship his ancestors, and asking Xue Shou to go to Suni's lost troops to investigate the situation were also delivered to the two sides.
in one's ears.
After Li Shiji received the document instructing him to reduce his household seal, not only did he not feel dissatisfied at all, but he also wrote a memorial pleading guilty and accepting punishment.
The moment Xue Shou received the documents for his mission, he packed his things and rushed to Suni's headquarters.
Only Li Yuan was different. After Li Yuan heard that his son had begun to instruct him, he jumped up in anger and immediately had a cursing order sent to Lingzhou.
However, Li Yuanji had no time to watch. He had to rush to the place where Shi Huoba's tribe was to welcome Li Jing who had returned in triumph, and at the same time deal with the cattle, sheep and horses captured by the Tang Dynasty from various Turkic tribes.
As the Tang army continued to penetrate deeper, more and more Turkic tribes were conquered, and more and more cattle, sheep, and horses were captured.
The number of cattle, sheep and horses has also increased from hundreds of thousands to millions to tens of millions.
Yes, you read that right, the number of cattle, sheep and horses seized by the Tang Dynasty from various Turkic tribes exceeded 10 million.
The several storage points established by Datang from Lingzhou to Shizhou are simply not enough.
The various gates and temporarily added storage points are also full.
At this moment, the Tang army continued to seize cattle and sheep.
At present, Li Shiji, who replaced Li Jing in charge of the central army, proposed to distribute some cattle, sheep and horses as rewards to the meritorious soldiers, and send people back to the Tang Dynasty.
The suggestion given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the three provinces was to transport some of the cattle, sheep and horses back to the Tang Dynasty for digestion by the Tang Dynasty, while the other part should be kept in the Turks and raised by the Turkic captives, or the old, weak, women and children, to help the Tang Dynasty.
Sheep beget sheep, cows beget cows, and horses beget horses. Turn this thing into an industry that can sustain output, rather than a one-time deal.
Li Shimin's suggestion was to transport only a small amount of cattle, sheep and horses back to the Tang Dynasty to supply the needs of the Tang Dynasty, and the rest would be left in the Turks and given to the old and weak women and children of the Turks to raise.
As for the Turkic captives, and even all the men who can ride horses, they can all be gathered together, and several areas can be divided into three areas on the east, north, and west borders of the Turks, and a yamen belonging exclusively to the Turks can be established.
They helped Datang guard the Turkic borders and went out to fight for Datang when necessary.
In order to avoid arousing the resistance of the Turks and ending their marriage, the Tang Dynasty could send their wives to them and reunite with them once a year.
Li Shimin had already thought of the name for this yamen, which belonged exclusively to the Turks, and decided to call it Duhufu.
Moreover, Li Shimin had even thought about where the Protectorate's Office would be located and what its name would be.
