Chapter 269 Military power was seized

"'Old Master said: Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as straw dogs..." But when you read it carefully, it is far less than the last couplet of His Royal Highness, "If there is heaven, it will be old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes." Gao Shilian said with infinite emotion.

Everyone in the hall nodded with emotion when they heard this, feeling both admiration and envy...

Li Shimin raised his head and took a deep breath and handed out the papers in his hand, signaling the eunuch to pass them to Gao Shilian and others to see. He looked at the door of the hall with a very complicated expression.

After a while, I saw Li Ke standing respectfully in the middle of the room and sighed, stretched out my finger and approached his seat and said, "Sit down too!"

Li Ke bowed and took a tribute and sat down carefully. He knew that with Li Shimin's heart, he would not be moved by Li Chengqian's proposal.

Of course, Li Chengqian could not escape thousands of miles and only sent a poem back. There was also a memorial under the poem, suggesting that Li Shimin take this opportunity to defeat the 200,000 coalition forces in the north of Mobei in one battle, or kill them to eliminate future troubles or use them to build roads and mine to work hard to die.

Anyway, they can't be allowed to return to the north of the Mo, otherwise, no matter whether it is the Uighurs or Tongluo, Tiele will definitely be another Xueyantuo if he has this power.

Li Chengqian's suggestion was like a impotence lying beside a naked beauty and seeing a poisonous aphrodisiac on the table.

On the one hand, he agreed with Li Chengqian's suggestions very much but did not dare to make up his mind easily. On the other hand, he was afraid that Li Chengqian's power would become greater and greater, and he was no longer worried that the Tang army would be greatly damaged in order to keep the 200,000 coalition forces.

It is not difficult to defeat the 200,000 coalition forces in Mobei with the current combat power of the Tang army, but it is extremely difficult to stay all of them. After all, the Tang Dynasty only sent more than 100,000 troops this time, but there were 200,000 troops on the other side. If you really fight to the death, you may be killing one thousand enemies and destroying yourself by yourself.

Although the Tang Dynasty has outstanding martial arts, there are Goguryeo in the northeast, Tuyuhun and Tubo in the west, and Gaochang in the northwest has always been uneasy. There are occasionally Yao people in the south in the country to rebel. This 100,000 army has suffered excessive losses that Li Shimin could not accept.

On the other hand, Li Shimin also thought that after this battle, the tribes in Mobei did not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty for at least decades, and even if these tribes were destroyed, Mobei would be just a barren land...

Li Chengqian dared to make such suggestions because he was confident that he would manage the desert from north to south, and that he needed manpower to mine, build roads, and build the Great Wall.

Moreover, when Li Chengqian sent someone to Chang'an to transfer Liu Rengui, he had already ordered Pei Xingjian to escort a large amount of gunpowder to Shuofang. This would definitely cost less if the war was fought.

It’s just that when Li Chengqian delivered the letter to Li Shimin, his order had just arrived in Chang'an, so he didn’t mention it in the letter.

As for the management of Hetao Li Shimin, he still cannot accept it, after all, he has never seen it yet.

Soon, Li Chengqian's suggestion was turned into the hands of several ministers, and Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian looked at each other and showed an expression of difficulty in choosing.

"The report from His Majesty Crown Prince is reasonable, but at present, our Tang Dynasty only has 100,000 troops in the northern part of the border, which is not difficult to repel and defeat the enemy, but it is not easy to stay all of them. It is better to allow them to surrender first and then divide them..." Yang Hongli, the Minister of War, was the Minister of War, and he had to come up with his opinions.

Li Shimin looked at him without saying a word. He first allowed him to surrender and then dispersed the tribes, and then broke through them one by one. Although this was a way, it had an extremely adverse impact on the faith of the Tang Dynasty.

"If Yang's Ministry of War did this, wouldn't it be necessary for me, the Tang Dynasty to be untrustworthy to the barbarians?" Gao Jifu put down Li Chengqian's memorial and looked at Yang Hongli with a solemn expression.

When Yang Hongli heard this, he just shook his head and smiled and ignored Gao Jifu.

After a while, Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, he will not be able to achieve the goal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The others in the hall looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise after hearing this, and only Li Shimin nodded with a serious expression.

Although the Mobei Alliance knew that all the senior leaders in Xueyantuo Khan's tent, including Yi Nan, had been captured by Li Chengqian, the tribes remained in a united state. Even the Uighur tribe of the Tang Dynasty spoke loudly during negotiations, indicating that they had been guarding against the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the Tang Dynasty promised all their conditions to surrender, they would still retain some things after surrendering. The Tang Dynasty would definitely not be able to retain these people without using force.

Li Shimin glanced at the people in front of him and knew that these people could not come up with any ideas, so he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Transfer my order to order Li Shijihuo to return to Shuofang City. I have important matters to discuss with him."

Yang Hongli hurriedly stood up and replied, "Abide by the order."

When the others saw Li Shimin getting up, they knew that such a military and national event would be necessary to discuss with the frontline generals. At this time, they couldn't discuss it, so they all stood up and left.

--------------

Early in the morning, Kongduigou Camp.

Before the sun rose, Kongdui Camp had already started a busy training. Tens of thousands of soldiers were sweating in this chilly spring country with shirtless hands...

Li Chengqian was wearing armor and riding a war horse in the military formation. He felt excited as he watched these masculine warriors practiced hard just to be loyal to him.

Li Chengqian secretly swears that you will support me in this life and will definitely lead me to the ruler of China.

The banquet for several days made the army's training and military discipline a little loose. Li Chengqian, who would soon have a tough battle, dared not relax at all. Therefore, on the last day of the banquet, he ordered three-day emergency training, and then the army went south to participate in the encirclement of the 200,000 coalition forces in the northern part of the Mo.

Today is the third day of urgent training, and morale in the martial arts field is soaring. Li Chengqian's mood is also deeply infected by the soldiers, and he lingers in the military formation on his war horses.

It was not until the red sun rose to the treetops and the stomach was roaring, and he returned home happily. After leaving the martial arts venue, Li Chengqian showed a happy smile on his face. He rode his war horse to the central army tent. Liu Kui helped him off the war horse and shouted: "Go and prepare breakfast for the Lone King."

Liu Kui hurriedly smiled and said, "We are all ready, just wait for His Royal Highness to enjoy it."

Li Chengqian strode into the big tent and saw that there were indeed a few simple and nutritious snacks and hot milk on the small table. He hurriedly washed his hands in the basin of the water brought by the eunuch, sat down and started to swallow it.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was happy today, Liu Kui walked in front of him and laughed: "Since we came to the Northern Frontier, His Highness the Prince of the Crown Prince first captured the enemy chief, clearing the northern frontier for the Tang Dynasty, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to suffer the plunder of the Northern Di. But it was only the Prince's Palace, and I felt distressed when I saw it..." Liu Kui also raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

Li Chengqian was having a meal and heard Liu Kui say these things suddenly. He felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw it and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Chengqian didn't really like Liu Kui, and he hit him a lot when he first came to him. However, when he was together, Liu Kui was very careful in serving him in daily life, so he was not as careful as he was at the beginning.

Seeing Wen, Liu Kui walked forward carefully and changed into a flattering smile, and lowered her voice: "Your Highness, the servants of Zhaowu Jiu, will you pay tribute to you two Persian beauties. Their faces and figures are all the best, and they are still... "

Liu Kui said that seeing Li Chengqian's face had already sunk, and hurriedly explained: "The noble girl shouldn't have mentioned it in front of the Prince's Palace that it was just a servant who saw those two-"

"Stop!" Li Chengqian shouted in a deep voice.

It was also Liu Kui who was not very good at seeing him. When Li Chengqian was moved and passionate by the tens of thousands of soldiers in the martial arts field, he mentioned something about Persian beauty to him. Maybe the result would be different in the evening.

At that moment, Li Chengqian looked at Liu Kui coldly, and saw sweat on his forehead, and then asked coldly: "Did you take the initiative to ask them for what they want or what they gave them to themselves?"

"It was them, they forced to send it. I have always followed the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and never dared to find a place to ask for anything, otherwise they would not be two Persian beauties..." Liu Kui defended with a crying voice.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Since you have accepted the Lone King, I will give it to you and let them be your wives and concubines."

Liu Kui was stunned when she heard this, and after a while she cried, she said, "A Persian woman is just a toy. If I marry her as a wife and concubine, I will not be able to treat my ancestors!"

He really shed tears as he said that.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel silenced when you, a person who is incomplete, even look down on other Western beauties?

Although Li Chengqian had never seen those two Persian beauties, since the ninth surname of Zhaowu dared to pay tribute to him, it was naturally not bad.

He looked at Liu Kui and Li Chengqian, who was like his dead mother, was about to educate him again, but he heard Wang Fangyi shouting outside the tent: "Report to the Crown Prince, the court sent an envoy to ask for his visit."

Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal Liu Kui to pack up his things, and then shouted: "Come in."

Li Chengqian sat down in the main seat and saw Wang Fangyi leading a young civil servant into the big tent. The civil servant walked into the big tent and hurriedly bowed to Li Chengqian.

"My minister Zhao Dehai meets His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Dehai indifferently and said, "Zhao Qing is calm! I wonder what the imperial court's order is?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince brought His Majesty's edict and asked His Majesty to summon all the generals to receive it together."

"Hmm?" Li Chengqian slowly stood up and looked at Zhao Dehai and said, "What did you tell the Lone King in advance?"

"Uh!" Zhao Dehai looked at Li Chengqian with some difficulty.

"snort!"

Li Chengqian snorted and sat down and said, "They will be sent to the public." Then he lowered his head to handle official duties and did not look at the unknown Zhao Dehai again.

Zhao Dehai was not embarrassed when he saw this, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Dingfang, Yuchi Gong, Qi Bi Heli, Qiu Xinggong, Cheng Wuting, Li Simo and others came to the central army tent one after another. When Zhao Dehai saw that everyone was all here, he whispered to Li Chengqian: "His Prince Prince has all arrived, will he start to promulgate the imperial edict?"

Li Chengqian had just been guessing what decree the court had issued to him and had to be read in front of the generals. Although he had not guessed what it was, he knew that it was a decree that was not conducive to his own decree, otherwise Zhao Dehai would not be so embarrassed.

At this time, the generals had already arrived, so they had to get up and walk down and stand in the middle of the tent and bow upwards, "Please announce the order!" The generals stood behind Li Chengqian and bowed.

Zhao Dehai stood in front of Li Chengqian's desk and opened the edict and began to read it.

The first half of the edict praised Li Chengqian for his great contribution to leading troops to attack and destroy Xue Yantuo Khan in the country, and then tried his best to spread Li Shimin's longing for Li Chengqian until the last sentence: "After the Northern Di is pacified, I can't bear to be separated from my father and son. On the day when the Crown Prince Chengqian received the edict, he handed over all military affairs to Yuchi Gong, Duke of E, and led the guards of the Eastern Palace to meet at the reunion of father and son, and I admire this!"

After the edict was read, the tent was quiet, and Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Dehai with a pale face.

Zhao Dehai was so scared that his legs were weak.
