Chapter 327 The war has been brought forward
The news brought by the carrier pigeon was about Du Ruhui. The old guy was very careful when he was escorting the silver. He had just entered Hedong Road in more than half a month.
But this is already very good. When the inquiry of the ownership of the residual picture is fruitless, Lao Du’s news is one of the only things that deserve Lao Li’s happiness.
"Xuanling, how are the preparations for the army's food and grass?" Seeing that the silver escorted by Du Ruhui would arrive in Chang'an in about half a month, the excited Li Er gathered a group of confidants including Li Jing, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling overnight.
"Your Majesty, because the river channel is silted in time, the current grain transportation is very convenient. The border prefectures have basically completed the grain and grass reserves, and everything is waiting for the army to gather." Fang Xuanling is a capable minister in the world, so he naturally cannot help but mobilize small grain and grass, so he answered very happily.
"Since I'm ready to stop... I plan to send troops to the next day, what do the pharmacist think?" The Weishui Alliance was regarded as a lifelong shame by Li Er. He heard Fang Xuanling say that the food and grass are in full, and he was naturally anxious, and he wished he could immediately send tens of thousands of troops to the grassland.
Li Jing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the ancients said that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people."
"In summer, the grassland is wet and the weather is rainy, which makes it inconvenient to transport military food and grass. In this case, the Tang Dynasty did not occupy the 'time'; and the grassland in the north of Mobei was at this time, and the cattle and horses were fat and strong, which was enough to increase the Turkic combat power by three points. In this case, the Tang Dynasty did not occupy the 'local advantage'; in addition, this year, the Guanzhong drought is severe, and it is now busy with farming, so it is probably a 'harmonious' to dispatch troops at this time."
"Listen to the pharmacist's words, I think it's not appropriate to send troops now?" Li Er, who was eager to revenge, showed a hint of unhappiness on his face, and his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
As mentioned earlier, Li Jing believes in the doctrine of the mean, so he has to think about everything and measure it repeatedly. It is because of this that he chose to wait and see during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
In Li Jing's opinion, this matter was a matter of no help and self-protection, but it was easily seen as a sell-off in the battle for the throne. Therefore, after the Xuanwu Sect Incident, Li Jing was always excluded from Li Er's core circle and never gained trust.
Li Jing actually figured out the cause and effect of the matter later and knew what he had missed, but there is no place in the world where regret medicine is sold. If you do something, you will do it. What's the use of regret?
So in the eyes of later generations, God was very fair to Li Jing, which made him go all the way on the battlefield. While winning the reputation of "Martial God", he turned him into a political idiot and a very bad luck.
"Your Majesty, what Brother Yao said is still reasonable, so please think twice." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jing with a pity, feeling sad for his talent, and at the same time smoothed out for him, so as to save this guy from talking more to Li Er's greater dissatisfaction.
"Xuanling seems to have something to say?" Li Er looked gloomy and turned his head to point the muzzle at Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, if your name is not upright, the words will not go as far as you can. Please give me a long-term plan!" Fang Xuanling would not say anything to Li Jing like that straight line, but just a tactful reminder to Lao Li that there is no reason to send troops yet.
"This..." Li Er was reminded by Fang Xuanling, and remembered that he had said that he had to keep his promises, and he was unconsciously in a tangle.
Looking at Lao Li who was a little embarrassed, Changsun Wuji, who had been in the hall like a silly gourd, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to invite the prince to come over and discuss with you?"
A trace of suddenness flashed in Li Er's eyes, and he glanced at Changsun Wuji with approval, feeling that he was really stupid and would have forgotten the boy with "ghost head and toad eyes".
However, just looking for Li Chengqian like this, Old Li always felt that he wanted to find his son to save the situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
So he deliberately remained silent for a while, pretended to scan the ministers with the eyes of looking for someone, and asked in a hypocritical question: "Yes, where did the prince go to such a big thing? Why haven't he arrived yet?"
"Old minister, let's urge you now." Old eunuch Fang stood behind Li Er and glared, and his old face twitched for a long time. He had a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of His Majesty the Emperor, but there was no delay in his actions. As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, his thin body had already rushed out.
Half an hour later, Li Chengqian was dragged into the Ganlu Hall by the old eunuch in panting like a bellows, and just hit the old man's eyes head-on: You guy dare to talk too much, I'll skin you!
Don’t mention the aggrievance in Li Chengqian’s heart. Who did he provoke whom? I can still be punished by the old man while staying in the East Palace with a fight against the landlord? Why was he criticized before he could speak?
However, Li Er did not give Li Chengqian a chance to react. After giving a look, he scolded him: "Crown Prince, what we are discussing today is a military and national affairs. Why did it take a long time to come? If there is another time, we don't have to come again."
This is completely a disaster. Li Chengqian was so depressed that he had no place to say, so he could only find a corner to squat, thinking to himself: It’s not a good thing like paying money anyway, so if you don’t come, you won’t come. Who would care about it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted aside, the old fox Changsun spoke: "Your Majesty, Xuanling just said it well. The expedition to the Turks is not justified, so please think twice."
If Li Chengqian was there just now, he would know how good his uncle was to flatter him. It was obviously half an hour ago, but when it came to his mouth, it turned out to be "just".
"Oh, I'm really anxious about this matter. It's better to wait a few more years!" Li Er sighed and said falsely.
Fake, it's really too fake. Li Chengqian, who was hiding in the corner, continued to complain in his heart. He wanted to see the old man's fake appearance, so he planned to quietly poke his head out to take a look.
"Crown Prince, you move around, but you have something to say." Just as Li Chengqian was thinking about seeing it, the old man's words had already been heard, causing him to fall into stagnation in an instant.
The pit, this is a big pit. Li Chengqian, who was squatting in the corner, stood up helplessly, sighed depressedly while walking out, and said as if he accepted his fate: "Father, I just got distracted. I haven't heard clearly what you uncles are saying. Can you listen again?"
"Wuji, tell him." Seeing Li Chengqian pulling out the hob meat, Li Er was also quite troubled, but no matter what, he was a bit of a mistake in this matter, and it was really hard to lose his temper again.
In fragments, Changsun Sun Ji spent about the time to tell the story of the previous story, and finally said: "The problem now is that we are fully prepared, but we do not have the name of sending troops."
