Chapter 823(1/2)
Yu Sheshi once again saw Li Chao's extraordinaryness.
More than a hundred soldiers, in just half a day, caught several nets of fish from the ice. Each net harvested a lot. Together, there were at least tens of thousands of kilograms of fish.
In just half a day, the three-day food for the more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Fengzhou City was already solved.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of fish, combined with the slaughtered dead and injured horse meat stored in the city, it will be fine to eat for three days. Looking at today's day and the morale of the soldiers, I guess I can go to the net today, and it will be fine to increase the fishing catch by another 10,000 or 20,000 kilograms.
He sighed in his heart that if they had done this, how could they have been in a dilemma? They had no choice but to find supplies because of the Tang army's strategy of clearing the world.
But looking at Li Chao, he easily solved the food for more than 8,000 people.
Solve it on the spot, no need to transport grain or rob, and easily solve it.
In this weather, even if the fish caught are not processed, it is fine, just take them with you. Kill them if you have time, remove internal organs, and don’t have time to kill them. Anyway, when fish caught, they will freeze in a short while.
Cheng Chumo and the others were excited to catch fish, while Li Chao was leisurely killing fish and stewing fish.
It was fried, stewed, and braised, sashimi. After a while, the big pike with more than 30 pounds had been turned into seven or eight dishes.
Whether it is sashimi fish slices or stewed with sauerkraut, the taste is excellent, especially when stewing fish with sauerkraut, you can also put some big cakes in the pot. In the snow and ice, you can eat fish and pickle chopsticks and pickle cabbage, and then bite the hot cakes. It’s so cool.
Yu Shishi couldn't stop at all.
He didn't take the chopsticks, but he just ate with a knife and fork. He pricked fish with a knife, picked pickled vegetables with a fork, and then took two more bites of cake and swallowed it in one go. During this period, he went south, sleeping in the wind and eating in the open, eating jerky every day, and his stomach didn't feel it. Such a hot and delicious meal was really unstoppable.
Some people have said that Li Chao was the first-class military general in the Tang Dynasty and was known as the God of the Tang Dynasty.
Yu Sheshi has always been dissatisfied with this statement before. It is not that he has seen Li Chao, a gentle and gentle little white face, who is quite tall, but obviously is not a brave general who is against thousands of people. Especially his youthful age, Yu Sheshi, who advocates force, cannot recognize that Li Chao is the number one general in the Tang Dynasty.
He has also heard of Li Chao's achievements, but he always thinks that these achievements are mixed with moisture.
Even in the battle of Lou Fanguan, Li Chao designed to destroy Tuli's 100,000 troops with 50,000 people, and he thought it was just a trick. However, in the battle of Fengzhou, Yu Sheshi was completely convinced.
This Li Chao has excellent fishing skills.
He is brave and resourceful, everything is always in his control.
Not only do they know how to fight, they also seem to be proficient in everything.
In this uninhabited land, in the snow, people can easily get tens of thousands of kilograms of fish and get fresh and hot deliciousness for this 8,000-person army.
In comparison, he was so shocked when he was in a war. If he didn't, he would be stunned.
It is not unfair to lose in the hands of such a person.
Xiangyang.
Li Shimin and the prime ministers have figured out what happened in Fengzhou City. Although it is a bit too surprising, this is the fact. As always, Li Chao can always do something.
Last time, he used his plan, the court led Jie Li to surrender. It was Li Chao again, and the Tuli Khan was killed under Lou Fanguan. It was Li Chao who forced Ye Hu to rule Ye Hu to have hundreds of thousands of string control men, but in the end he had to negotiate peace and return to the north in a mess.
Now, it's another unexpected thing.
Li Chao knew that Yu Sheshi was coming to intercept him, but instead made a plan and defeated Yu Sheshi in Fengzhou, and even persuaded him to surrender.
Who can think of such a thing in advance and who dares to believe it?
But Li Chao did it.
That's how it is.
However, now the monarch and ministers are sitting here, and what they need to discuss is how the court should deal with the consequences after this matter.
The Tang Dynasty had just negotiated peace with the Turks and reached a three-year truce agreement. But now it has set up an important Turks to prisoners and persuaded them to surrender. This is a big deal.
How will Tongye Hu react?
Can this newly released peace agreement continue?
"My good friends, how do you think Yu She and its troops should be placed?" Li Shimin felt very happy and very happy. The Turks have always been pressing on the Tang Dynasty. After finally making Jie Li a remnant and surrendered, Tong Ye Hu came again. After working on the Tang Dynasty for a long time, Tong Ye Hu made wedding clothes for Tong Ye Hu.
Fortunately, Li Chao turned the tide and killed Tuli for the Tang Dynasty, forcing him to retreat to Ye Hu.
Now Li Chao secretly instigated Mo Heduo and buried a killer move in the Western Regions. He successfully captured the prisoners and sent them to surrender the depression and shooting. Li Shimin felt that it was comfortable to drink a glass of iced sour plum soup for the dog days.
"Your Majesty, you can move Yu Sheshai and his tribes to Hetao."
The person who spoke was Wei Zheng, the left chief of the Shangshu Province.
Li Shimin frowned. If it were before, Li Shimin might have thought this proposal was good. Because in the past, the Central Plains had generally placed the Hu tribes in this way. They were placed on the border and placed land to make ranches for them and let them grazed there, which was also considered as a barrier for the Central Plains.
But now.
Li Shimin didn't think so.
Perhaps he talked about these issues with Li Chao too much that many of his current ideas are related to Li Chao's ideas. Li Chao has told him more than once that the Hu people must not be moved inward, especially the overall placement of them. Doing so is to raise a tiger as a disaster.
If the Turks were willing to support themselves, the last way was to move inward, but they could not be simply resettled. To break up these Hu tribes and place them separately, it is best to divide them into different places, especially if they can no longer let their original leaders lead them, nor can they make these people become extra-legal people in the country.
If you want to move inward, you have to split and resettle it, and you have to completely control them. Otherwise, you might as well not move inward. Just leave them outside the border and give them a piece of land outside the border and let them graze there.
This is far less than moving inward, but it is more worry-free and labor-saving, and there are still some benefits. At least, when these inner tribes are not strong enough, they can still obey the Tang Dynasty's command and become a loyal watchdog of the Tang Dynasty. Maybe one day, the dog becomes a wolf when it becomes strong, but after all, it will not be very dangerous if it is outside the door.
It's better than getting it at home and finally becoming an ungrateful wolf, and biting his owner with a bite.
There are two methods, each has its own advantages.
In the long run, of course, it is better to move inward, but this kind of operation is a little more difficult, and those Hu people are not willing to move inward. However, if the court insists, I believe some Turks will eventually accept it.
As long as the nobles are given good food and drink in the capital, and they are given free jobs, most of them will agree. As for the herdsmen, they can arrange them to the herdsmen of various courts to raise horses for the court. In this way, they will not only break up and separate them, but also give them the full potential.
As for those who don’t want to, they can draw a piece of land on the grassland and let them be the guardian dogs of the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the land on the grassland is not from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty can easily draw, and whether it can be kept depends on the abilities of these Turks.
Li Shimin was a little disappointed with Wei Zheng.
He felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng often asked the prime ministers, and even asked him Li Shimin's sarcasm. Li Shimin could listen to it, thinking that sometimes the court needed such a person who sang the opposite tune.
But now Wei Zheng was placed in the position of the Left Chief of the Shangshu Province, which is an important position to deal with common affairs. After the left and right Pushe of the Shangshu Province was vacant, although the status of the Shangshu Province was greatly reduced, the Shangshu Province was still an important center in commanding the six ministries.
Wei Zheng seems to be inexperienced in handling government affairs.
Even Changsun Wuji was consistent with Li Chao on the issue of the resettlement of Yu Sheshi's tribe. He should try his best to move Yu Sheshi's people from the south of the desert and find ways to break these people into pieces so that the court can completely absorb these people.
Li Shimin took out Li Chao's memorial, which included a report on the Battle of Fengzhou and his plan to set up Yu She's headquarters.
"I agree with Li Xiang's plan! They should be moved in and placed in a scattered manner, and they cannot be left to Tongye Hu."
Fang Xuanling's Dao.
"I agree." Du Ruhui also agreed.
Changsun Wuji, Yu Wenshi, Yang Gongren, Gao Shilian and other prime ministers expressed their agreement, and Cui Gan, Ma Zhou and others also agreed.
In the hall, Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't say what he meant.
Li Shimin sat on the imperial mat, facing the prime minister and important officials.
"I have been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for two years, and I am about to reach my thirty years. At the age of 16, the Taiyuan Uprising Army will fight for more than ten years. Now I will rule the world for a few years. I have a lot of insights."
"It is difficult to conquer the world immediately, and it is even more difficult to govern the world by horse. Fortunately, I have many meritorious officials, Yuan Zuo, who have always supported me along the way for my right-hand man. My prince is smart and wise, but he is still young. The Chief Secretary and the Chief Secretary Li Chao have made an indelible contribution to me."
"I trust him very much, just like my prince. But I often receive secret letters recently saying that I trust Li Chao too much, saying that Li Chao is too powerful, and that he holds several important positions in the court, which is incompatible with the system. I say that I favor Li Chao too much!"
"Someone else reported that Li Chao was ill-hearted and had two hearts!"
Li Shimin's voice increased several times.
"In my opinion, this is an outsider's approach to our king and ministers, and it is a former dynasty's disagreement with the new dynasty. This is not a conformity with the new dynasty. It is someone who is deliberately making bad things. I will never agree with the words said in these secret documents."
There was a silence in the hall.
In advance, no one would have expected that the emperor would say such words in public today on this occasion.
There are indeed many rumors about Li Chao.
The main reason is that Li Chao has too much authority and too high credit, especially Li Chao has both civil and military affairs and has a very high reputation. In addition, the Li family has developed very rapidly in recent years and its wealth has increased very quickly.
Therefore, some people did consider the court and the emperor, while others were just out of jealousy.
There were many memorials and many bad things about Li Chao, but in Li Shimin's imperial study, there were several large boxes full of them.
Li Shimin never responded to these memorials, so more memorials were presented.
There are still many people waiting to see the direction of the wind.
Li Shimin knew that he had to express his opinion.
Li Chao has great authority and he has always relied on Li Chao. Although he has begun to worry about this, now he still cannot live without Li Chao, and he does not believe that Li Chao has any intention of him.
The king and his ministers met each other a few years ago and came over together. Li Chao helped him achieve his imperial career and tried his best to save him. He would not suspect him for no reason.
He is still young and Li Chao is still young. The king and his ministers can create good stories together and achieve great achievements for a generation.
If he didn't speak for Li Chao, more open and hidden arrows would be shot at Li Chao.
Even the Supreme Emperor said he should guard against Li Chao, but Li Shimin felt that it was too early to say this now. Although he had planned to let Li Chao go to the Duke of Zhao, after thinking about it, he was not the kind of short-sighted and petty king.
If he couldn't even tolerate a Li Chao, how could he surpass Qin Emperor and Han Wu and achieve great achievements in his generation?
The meeting ends.
