Changsun Wuji suddenly woke up and murmured: "It's really Goguryeo!"
"Now you can understand why the Goguryeo people want to hook up with the Xiao family and steal the formula of the Wanshi Ship. Li Shimin put his finger on the Bohai Bay and said: "With the Wanshi Ship, Goguryeo can take the land of Shandong by sea.
, if the land of Baekje, plus its original place, become horns with each other, attack one place and avoid two places, then the troubles of Goguryeo will never be peaceful."
"That's why Your Majesty said that there are demons and monsters. It turns out that this is the root cause!" Changsun Wuji suddenly realized, but then he thought of another thing and said: "Your Majesty, Li Mu only has 15,000 people around him, and there are no generals who are good at leading armies in battle. To
Is this possible in the face of so many enemies?"
Li Shimin asked: "You don't think it's possible?"
Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said: "To tell you the truth, even General Li Jing may not dare to say that he can deal with such a critical situation with only fifteen thousand men."
Li Shimin laughed and said: "You think it's not possible, and I don't think it's possible. Everyone in the world will definitely think it's not possible when they look at it. Then do you think the people of Goguryeo and Jisitang think Li Mu can do it?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and said, "I understand what your Majesty means. But how can we break the situation? Your Majesty, don't forget that the prince is here."
"I have not forgotten it." Li Shimin said loudly: "The prince is also the bait I put down. Only when you have the inheritance, the temptation will be big enough."
"But Cheng Qian is the prince after all!" Changsun Wuji said excitedly: "If the queen knows about this matter, your majesty——"
"So we can't let her know!" Li Shimin interrupted Changsun Wuji and said: "As for inheriting Qian, this is his responsibility. He is the future emperor, and the world will be handed over to him sooner or later. Sooner or later, he will have to experience things.
, it’s better to experience it earlier than later!”
"..." Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say. What came to his mind at this moment were some scenes that had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.
He thought that he and Li Shimin grew up together. For several years, there was no difference in their food and clothing expenses. But as he grew older, a person became more and more like a general and a king, but no matter how good he was,
But it was always one level behind, and he finally found the reason.
He didn't have Li Shimin's courage, and he didn't dare to make such a big bet.
One is the future prince, and the other is the young leader he relies on the most. He dares to throw them into a trap and use them as bait. How brave is this? Isn't he worried at all that something will happen? He has never thought about it.
What should I do if something goes wrong?
"I believe in Li Mu." Li Shimin slowly said what he was thinking: "I want to see where the upper limit of his ability is. At the same time, I also want to see if he is as magical as the rumors say." There is still another sentence left.
To put it bluntly, what Li Shimin really cares about is the thing that Li Mu blew up the mountain in Camel Valley.
Li Mu handed over the formula, but so far, except for the ones made by Li Mu himself, the ones made by others are different from what Li Mu demonstrated and heard. Although the effect of the explosion cannot be said to be non-existent,
But just listening to the sound, the real practical significance, so far, has not been seen at all.
He wanted to see if Li Mu could pull out his trump card in a desperate situation. To this end, he also added raw materials for Li Mu to the baggage supplies. If what happened in Camel Valley was true, what Li Mu had made
, has the ability to collapse the sky and the earth, then this thing that may change the pattern of future wars must be in one's own hands, and be controlled by the Tang Dynasty for generations to come.
A powerful Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin's original intention. For this purpose, he could pay any price without batting an eyelid.
…
To suppress the rebellion and attack the King of Qi, all the troops do not need to be mobilized from the capital area, and of course there is no need for grain and baggage. The government along the way will transfer the funds, and the Ministry of Revenue will reconcile them in the accounts, which means tax exemptions and exemptions. This is the most economical and practical.
It can save a lot of transportation losses along the road.
However, there are still some special supplies that need to be transported from the Gyeonggi region, such as long-range heavy weapons such as crossbows and trebuchets, which are weapons that local guards do not possess.
There were eight crossbows and eight trebuchets each shipped to the Bashang Pier. Don’t be too little, it was already a lot. You must know that when Li Shimin was conquering the world and confronting the heroes of Shandong, the Tang army did not have such things.
"This pier is not small!"
The speaker's surname was Tang and his name was Guan. He was the enemy of Li Mu. When Li Mu arrived in Miao territory, he went to Tang Guan in Luoyang. He didn't meet Li Mu in Luoyang. After two months of staying there, Tang Guan's eyes almost made stars shine.
Li Mu has now arrived in Qizhou and has no helpers around him. Li Siwen has returned to Dingxiang and needs to transport heavy materials. He can't find any free people, so he asked Tang Guan to come out and get a general manager to help.
Supervise the transportation. By the way, I will also use the imperial pen to write reports on things encountered along the way. When the time comes, it will be serialized in the "Datang Daily" and the newly launched "Luoyang Daily", so that the people in the rear can also know about the front line.
The first "war correspondent" in the Tang Dynasty was born.
After visiting the pier, Tang Guan returned to the place where the equipment was loaded and ordered the sergeant: "Your Majesty's crusade against rebellion is for the stability of the world. Since the pier is so big, our warships occupy the upper half of the pier.
It’s enough for use. We’ll set up a card in the middle and let the lower half of the pier be used by civilian ships so as not to disturb the people.”
After hearing this, the junior colonel hesitated and said: "General manager, our warships cannot use the entire dock, but... counterinsurgency is a big deal. If anything happens..."
Tang Guan smiled and said: "Don't worry! King Qi Li You is as stupid as a pig and can't accomplish anything. What's more, he is still facing my eldest brother. Who is my eldest brother? To deal with a guy like King Qi, he can think of a way to fart."
There are ten ways to do it. We feel like we are facing a powerful enemy, but it is not a big deal in his eyes. We should be careful and cautious. We must be attentive. But if the grass and trees are all soldiers, it will scare ourselves and make the people panic.
, do as I say, and I’ll be responsible for anything that goes wrong.”
The primary school official then said, "Yes!"
After saying that, the primary school hurried away and rushed to notify the civilian boats that were slowly moving away from the dock.
Tang Guan stood by the river with his hands folded, looking at the direction where the river was rolling away. He looked calm and had the air of a Confucian general. If he could be given a feather fan, he would be even more aura.
He is not worried about Li Mu, really not worried at all. In his heart, the gap between Li You and Li Mu is like the gap between heaven and earth. Would an elephant worry about whether ants can bite him to death? Not on the same scale.
There is no comparison between things. The only thing he is worried about now is that if Li Mu's counterinsurgency speed is too fast, he, a war reporter, will be useless. At that time, it will be a real regret.
…
Tang Guan's worry is not unnecessary. Just look at what our Emperor of Da Qi, Li You, is doing at this time.
In the back house of Prince Qi's Mansion, Emperor Li You of Da Qi was holding a banquet to reward those who had followed him in rebellion.
His Majesty is very friendly to the people, and even the Empress and Empress appeared on stage. But the Emperor of Daqi, who is only ten years old, cannot be underestimated. After all, he is young and promising and does not feel inferior. Although he is so young, it does not hinder his appreciation of beautiful women. This Empress,
She is a stunning beauty selected from the famous Flower Street and Yangliu Lane in Qizhou Prefecture before His Majesty the Daqi Emperor ascended the throne. She is twenty-one years old this year, and is nearly twice as old as our Daqi Emperor. She has a beautiful look between her eyebrows.
The style is just that His Majesty, the Emperor of Da Qi, is young after all, and his hair has not even grown. He only has theory but cannot put into practice, and he has wasted a good cabbage.
Below them are the three kings of Ping, Dong, Ping, South, and North, as well as the princesses of these three kings. There is no news from King Pingxi, but it does not cause any alarm, because before, he did not appear for three to five days in a row, and no one took it seriously.
go.
Next to Li You is his Shangshu Ling, who is also his uncle Yin Hongzhi. There are also three provinces and six tribes in Da Qi. In total, there must be about a hundred people. Everyone is drinking and changing cups, and they are having a good time.
A harmonious scene.
If someone could overlook this place, they would be moved by the harmony. Isn’t this the so-called paradise?!
His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qi, Li You...is how he became emperor behind closed doors!
He announced that he was going to rebel! Then, he closed the city gates, took his civil and military officials, and the people of the city, and started to live as an emperor as he could imagine, just like a house.
As for the crusade against the Tang Dynasty, he has never paid much attention to it. After all, he is just a child. He will rebel, mostly out of his rebellious psychology caused by jealousy of Li Mu. This is why he squats in Qizhou City,
If he were in Chang'an, or if Li Shimin appeared in front of him now, he would definitely give in immediately, and maybe even cry. When it comes to wars and other things, the people below are just shouting, and he doesn't want to do it well at all? Even many external things
He had never heard of the slogan. Everything was handled by Da Qi Shangshu Order, and his uncle Yin Hongzhi was handling it.
Whoever you follow, who you learn from. Li You was brought up by Yin Hongzhi. Seeing what Li You looks like now, you can also imagine what Yin Hongzhi was like when he was a child. Not everyone who is determined to take revenge must be extremely wealthy.
, he was also full of knowledge and capable of literature and martial arts. When his father was killed, Yin Hongzhi was still a young man from Chang'an who carried a sword and a bow, and rode a fast horse. His ancestor was Yin Shousheng, a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, and his father was Yin Shishi, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty.
, if he is given enough time to experience, he may not be unable to grow into a famous minister.
But..., there is no chance.
First, his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, and then he became a relative of the emperor. Although the Li and Tang dynasties were very confident and did not shy away from marrying the former Sui officials, they could not be unprepared, at least in terms of military power, they were absolutely cautious
Therefore, Yin Hongzhi never knew how to, let alone dared to contact the military, and did not know anything about it. He never thought about how the Yellow River would freeze in the cold winter, and how his ship would sail west by then.
Above. He never thought about it, nor did the four kings under him, let alone Li You.
For example, if Yan Hongxin, Liang Mengbiao and others can gain Li You's trust and appreciation, they probably have similar temperament, knowledge and knowledge, otherwise how can we have a good relationship?
But after all, it is a rebellion. On weekdays, everyone gets together and chats. During the rebellion, we still have to talk about serious business. So, during the cup and cup, a few people had such a conversation. .
Li You fell into the arms of the 'Queen', eating the cakes fed into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I have been on the throne for some time, and my father must have received the news. My father has many soldiers, and I don't know who he will send this time. Come on, I'm not afraid of others. It's just Li Jing who is troublesome. I heard that he has never been defeated in a battle. I don't know if it's true or not."
Yan Hongxin had drunk too much. His face was red, his eyes were straight, his tongue was big, and he said with great pride: "Your Majesty, don't worry, isn't it Li Jing? Brother... Brother, I have a wine glass in my right hand and an ax in my left hand... Drinking and hacking at the same time, there are 1,800 people, and that’s no big deal. Isn’t it Li Jing? I’m sure he will never come back!”
Listening to this, I kind of wanted to tell the story of "warming wine and killing Hua Xiong", but due to my limited level, I told it in a confused way.
Zan Junmo looked at Yan Hongxin and said, "Do you use an axe? Why haven't I seen you use it?"
Liang Mengbiao laughed loudly and said: "Brother Yan, you don't understand what Brother Yan means. He wants to say that killing Li Jing is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables."
Yin Hongzhi is more or less rational than them, but he has no idea how to respond correctly, so he just holds the cup and smiles, thinking, no matter what, now I have made your father and son kill each other, even if If it doesn't work, I can also destroy your Li family. My father knows better and can rest in peace. He already knew that Li Mu's men had arrived outside the city, but he deliberately didn't say anything. This feeling was very subtle, and he wanted to see Li Mu. You and Li Shimin are flesh and blood, but they don't want to see Li You suffer - after all, they are nephews who were brought up since childhood. People's hearts are made of flesh, how can they not have feelings?
But revenge must be avenged!
Yin Hongzhi thought to himself and sighed secretly, let this child be happy until the day the city is destroyed.
…
In the military tent, Li Mu hung his wrist and used a delicate wolf hair.
The sketching style is thicker and lighter, each stroke is simple, and the jumping characters appear vividly. It is Li Shimin's iconic flying white hand.
"My father once warned you to be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, but you just refused to listen. You have always had a surly temperament and lack of virtue, and your ears are soft and you cannot tell right from wrong. Once you are bewitched by flattering remarks, you will forget everything. .As a father, I really feel sad for you. How could my son be so stupid as to be in such a situation!"
"I made you a vassal in Qizhou because I wanted you to manage Qi and become a barrier to the Tang Dynasty. But you rebelled, which makes my father feel sad and the people of the world laugh at you!"
"Have you ever thought about how many people will suffer if you do such a thing? This is an irreparable sin. Even if your father can forgive you, how can you hide from the long-term words and criticism of the people in the world? Can you get through? My son, it’s not too late to turn back now! Once there are casualties, it will be an irreparable crime. The one who will judge you then will not be your father, but the people of the world. Think about your Concubine, think about it..."
Li Mu used Li Shimin's tone and wrote a letter persuading him to surrender.
This is Li Mu's last effort for the sake of Concubine Yin!
