Chapter 0988: Kill a thousand enemies, lose a thousand and five to yourself
This is also the reason why emperors of all dynasties wanted to kill them.
Although they clearly occupy a large amount of the country's resources, they do not want to repay the country or the people who have promoted them to the top of the pyramid. Instead, they continue to take the country's resources into their own arms.
When speaking out to the outside world, he always acts like he is doing everything for the good of the country and the good of the people.
It is simply a matter of standing at the same time, which is a great harm to the country.
"I will dispatch Wang Shu of Xiangyi and Daozong to guard the border of Daizhou, and let Yin Kaishan assist from the side. I believe that Ashinabil will not be able to break through their defense so easily."
Li Yuanji said slowly.
When Li Shimin heard this, his brows gradually relaxed.
Although deploying Li Shenfu, Li Daozong, and Yin Kaishan to garrison the border, it may not be possible to completely block Ashinabili, but it only needs to be blocked for a period of time.
As long as any one of Li Jing, Ashina Simo, Su Dingfang and the Xue brothers catch up with Ashinabili, Ashinabili will definitely die.
But with the capabilities of Li Shenfu, Li Daozong, and Yin Kaishan, it is relatively easy to do this.
So he approved the arrangement.
"Then let's leave as soon as possible. We have to use troops against Ashinabil as soon as possible."
Li Shimin said with emotion, and had already started to pack his things.
After all, no one knew when Tong Yehu died, in case he died when they set off, and the civil strife in the Western Turks ended after the Tang Dynasty conquered Ashinabil.
The Tang Dynasty's efforts to conquer Ashinabil were in vain at a huge cost.
Li Yuanji shook his head dumbfounded and said, "There's no need to be so anxious, right?"
If Tong Yehu died on their way out, and the civil strife in the Western Turks also ended during their conquest of Ashinabil, it could only mean that they were unlucky.
As for luck, it depends on how God arranges it.
It's useless to argue, and it's useless to be anxious.
If God favors the Tang Dynasty, then even if the Tang Dynasty conquers Ashinapil again next year, the civil strife in the Western Turks will not end.
If God does not support the Tang Dynasty, then even if the Tang Dynasty launches an attack on Ashinabil now, it will not be able to catch up with the end of the civil strife in the Western Turks.
However, in this matter, Li Yuanji can barely act as God's spokesperson.
He knew that the civil strife in the Western Turks would not end so quickly, and he also knew that the civil strife in the Western Turks would not end so quickly.
They don't need to rush, they just need to carry out everything slowly and in an orderly manner. After the conquest of Ashnabil, they can take a rest and reorganize their troops, just in time to catch up with the most intense civil strife in the Western Turks.
At that time, it was the best time for Datang to enter the game.
However, what he knew, Li Shimin didn't know, so when Li Shimin heard this, he said without looking back, "What do you mean you don't have to be so anxious?
Things on the battlefield change rapidly, and if we delay for a moment longer, the price we have to pay may increase.
So we must squeeze out all the time we can, and would rather have three more minutes than lose one minute."
Seeing that Li Shimin was serious, Li Yuanji did not argue with Li Shimin, but nodded obediently and said: "Yes, yes, second brother is right, then I will tell Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang to pack their things, and we will set off as soon as possible."
Li Shimin snorted and said nothing more, but continued to pack his things silently.
Li Yuanji called Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang into the tent, and ordered them to start packing all their things, take with them the people they needed, and prepare to rush to Daizhou.
Half an hour later, everything was ready.
A group of people walked through the snow and rushed to Daizhou.
Along the way, there were soldiers from the front army clearing the way, so the snow did not stop everyone from moving forward.
But because of the need to clear the way, the journey is very slow.
When we arrived at Suizhou, it was already seven days later. After meeting Li Shenfu and conveying the order to be transferred to Daizhou, we continued to move forward.
By the time we arrived in Daizhou, it was already a month later.
Standing at the closed Yanmen Gate in Daizhou, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, Li Shimin held a hand warmer in both hands and frowned, "We have been delayed on the road for too long. Can we still get to Shuofang City before the first month of the year?"
?”
Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang, who were guarding one side, heard this and smiled bitterly.
They walked hurriedly and slowly, not daring to waste more than a quarter of an hour. Many soldiers' hands, feet, and ears were frostbitten, and they did not dare to complain of itching or pain.
Why did it take a lot of time to get to Li Shimin's mouth?
Doesn’t this allow people to live?!
After a few more journeys, the soldiers would have to amputate their limbs.
When the time comes, everyone in King Yong’s bodyguard will be missing arms, legs, or ears, so how can we look at it?!
After all, Yongwangwei is also the face of Yongwang Mansion, and even more so of the Tang Dynasty. Let’s not talk about whether he is strong or not, but his appearance cannot be bad.
Like Li Shimin, Li Yuanji also held a hand warmer in his hand and wore two large cloaks. When he heard Li Shimin's words, he saw the expressions of Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang and said with emotion: "Didn't I say it before?
We don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
The moment Li Shimin heard this, he stared with tiger eyes and yelled: "What do you mean we don't need to be so anxious? Li Jing sent a letter saying that between Ashina Sheer, Yi Nan, Huang Tou and the others
The war has come to a conclusion.
Ashina Sheer defeated Yi Nan and Huang Tou, cut off their heads, and integrated all their tribesmen.
Now they are confronting Tong Yehu's royal army.
The royal army under Tong Yehu initially suppressed Ashina Sheer, but recently it has shown signs of decline.
During this period, Tong Yehu's royal tent army did not suffer heavy losses from Ashinasheer, and Ashinasheer's strength did not increase, and even weakened somewhat.
What does this mean?
This shows that Tong Yehu most likely transferred part of the royal tent army back to his royal tent.
Under what circumstances would Tong Yehu transfer the Wang Zhang army back to the Wang Zhang?
Only when he is about to die!
So Tong Yehu is about to die, we must speed up the pace!"
Li Yuanji was not surprised at the outcome of the war between Ashina Sheer, Yi Nan, and Huang Tou.
After all, it is written in history that after Yugu was defeated in pursuing Yi Nan, Huang Tou and others, Ashina Sheer appeared on the scene, not only pressing Yi Nan and Huang Tou to the ground and rubbing them, but also destroyed the Eastern Turks.
Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Western Turks, he conquered a huge territory in the Western Turks and established his own khanate.
Li Yuanji was not surprised that Li Shimin was able to analyze the internal situation of the Western Turks through the letter sent by Li Jing.
After all, the changes that will occur when the country changes, there will not be much difference between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
The careerists, as well as the princes and princes, will show their minions at this time to compete for the supreme position.
Therefore, as a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty who had experienced similar changes, it was reasonable for Li Shimin to be able to analyze the changes in the situation within the Turks.
Li Yuanji nodded and smiled: "I know that second brother is worried that we will miss the best opportunity to conquer the Western Turks, but has he forgotten that we are going to Shuofang City to sit in command, not to replace Su Dingfang and command the soldiers in the front?
Fight against Ashenabil.
So just because we are here does not affect the Tang Dynasty’s declaration of war on Ashinabil.”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He stared in astonishment and asked, "Have you already sent an order to Su Dingfang to declare war on Ashinabil?"
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.
When Xue Wanche arrived at Shuofang City, he wrote to Su Dingfang and asked Su Dingfang to send a surrender document to Ashinabil.
I think Ashinabil has already responded by now.
At Ashnabil's age, it is unlikely that he will surrender without a fight.
After all, he had just taken the position of the lost Khan of Suni, and he had not enjoyed it enough, and he had not experienced any severe beatings. If he were asked to surrender to the Tang Dynasty now, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
Therefore, he would definitely fight a few games with Datang first, test the waters, suffer a few losses, and be beaten several times before he would consider whether to surrender to Datang.
At this time, Su Dingfang, who had received Ashinabil's reply, had probably sent troops.
After Li Shimin received Li Yuanji's affirmative reply, he said angrily: "In that case, why are you still urging us to hurry up?"
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Didn't I say that we don't need to be in such a hurry? It was you who said that we must squeeze out the time we can and urged us to hurry up.
I think what you said is somewhat reasonable, so I didn’t refute you.”
When Li Shimin heard this, he froze in place. After a long time, he stared at his eyes and said, "So the reason why we work so hard is my fault?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.
Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang cast helpless looks at Li Shimin. Of course, they did not let go of Li Yuanji, who was helping the evildoer.
Li Shimin was made uncomfortable by the helpless looks in Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang's eyes. He glared at Li Yuanji fiercely, blew his beard and said with a glare: "If I worry about you again from now on, I will be the son of a bitch!"
Li Yuanji paused for a moment and then asked: "Concubine Wan Gui or Concubine Yin De?"
Concubine Wan Gui was Li Yuan's eldest concubine before he became emperor, Li Zhiyun's biological mother, and their brother's legitimate daughter-in-law.
Although their brothers have never regarded Concubine Wan Gui as their mistress, they cannot change the fact that Concubine Wan Gui is their mistress.
As for Concubine Yin Defi, she was naturally the one who was very favored before, but was executed because she was unclear about Li Jiancheng.
Therefore, Li Shimin would not refute or admit that Concubine Wan Gui was their little wife, but by taking Concubine Yin De with him, he succeeded in making Li Shimin disgusted.
Li Shimin angrily smashed the hand warmer in his hand against Guancheng, and angrily walked off the city wall, looking like he would never appear again.
When Li Shimin's back was about to disappear, Chu Suiliang said quietly, "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
This means killing one thousand enemies and inflicting one thousand five losses on oneself.
After all, they are brothers, elders and relatives alike.
Even if they are elders in the wife's mother's clan, they will call her the same when they meet her.
Li Yuanji glared at Chu Suiliang and said angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much?!"
However, what does the blood relative of his predecessor have to do with his successor? We just shared the same body, and our souls are not the same.
He is a blood relative of his predecessor, but his successor can deny it in his soul.
After deceiving himself and others like this, if he hurt Li Shimin, he would not be able to hurt him!
