Li Chengqian had no confidence in this rescue before.

However, it is obvious that even if you fail, the loss will not be large.

And now... it's done.

Xuanzang actually came back...

This is definitely a great joy.

And Chen Zhengtai had already taken a deep breath.

Of course, it is very difficult to save it. This is something that many people in the Chen family have saved their lives.

This is not just a matter of saving a person, but a major event that can change the pattern of the entire world with just one thing.

Li Shimin seemed very shocked and couldn't help but say, "Why, the Chen family went to discuss peace with the cannibal...?"

He didn't know about this.

But... no matter what, even if the Chen family negotiated peace with Dashi in private, it wouldn't matter.

After all... Now that Xuanzang's incident is so big, it is understandable to send someone to contact the cannibals and conduct some transactions with them.

It's good that people come back.

Chen Zhengtai immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Chen family has no peace talks."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "No?"

As if he was afraid that Li Shimin would not believe it, Chen Zhengtai shook his head seriously: "It really isn't."

"Then how did this person be rescued?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai's cautious expression and believed it, but...

It was hard to understand. It was impossible to send troops or discuss peace. This was obviously not true.

The civil and military officials also looked at Chen Zhengtai in surprise, looking incredible.

Chen Zhengtai smiled, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what I do is very simple, that is, I send some children of the Chen family to Dashi..."

Li Shimin had doubts in his eyes: "What's next?"

Chen Zhengtai coughed and said, "Then... it's very simple. After these Chen family members entered the capital of the Dashi Kingdom, they divided their troops into two groups, attacking their barracks one by one, so as to cover up their eyes and attack the east and west. The other side directly attacked their palace, captured their kings and princes and nobles, and finally took the people to Persia and demanded that the Dashi Kingdom exchange hostages."

“…”

Therefore... the hall suddenly became an uproar again.

The first reaction of many people is that it is impossible.

"How many soldiers and horses have been produced by the Chen family?" Li Jing asked first.

Chen Zhengtai said: "More than ninety people."

Actually... more than ninety people?

Li Shimin was speechless.

This is so scary.

There were only more than ninety people, who went thousands of miles deep and kidnapped the person directly, but the person who kidnapped the person... was the other party's king.

This is a bit like a fantasy!

The ministers were already talking and couldn't help but whisper, but many people still felt unbelievable.

After all, this is a matter of thousands of miles away. Who knows the truth or falsehood? But some people think that Chen Zhengtai is not so bold that he dares to deceive the emperor on such an occasion.

Just as everyone was criticizing him, Li Jing frowned and said, "I can't imagine that dozens of people can do such a thing no matter what. How did you get into Dashi?"

"In the name of a mission, he went to the capital of Dashi with generous gifts on the surface, which made Dashi people mistakenly think that we were going to negotiate peace." Chen Zhengtai was very low-key at this time.

The king and ministers in the hall held their breath. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, they had to listen quietly at this moment.

Li Jing nodded and continued: "It is not impossible to enter the capital of the Great Food Kingdom in this name. It is just... how to rescue it?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Shut his barracks to be in chaos, and you can use gunpowder. They are in the light and we are in the dark. A sudden raid will inevitably lead to a bombing camp! I think General Li knows more than me about the consequences of the bombing camp."

Li Jing couldn't help but admire Chen Zhengtai at this time.

Of course he knew what the bombing camp meant, and any person who led the army knew what it meant. The army gathered together, and a group of bloody people, but because they needed to practice, people's spirit was tense. Once a certain chaos suddenly appeared in the army at night, it would cause fear among the soldiers. Once this fear began to spread, it would trample on each other and there was no way to restrain it.

Li Jing then asked again: "How to get the palace?"

"This is simple, using a flying ball. While attacking the barracks, a team of people appeared directly in the opponent's palace using the flying ball and the cover of the night. Then... they landed, but they had to directly take down the king and the nobles of the princes, take them hostage and board the flying ball, and then withdraw immediately."

Chen Zhengtai’s answer is indeed very simple.

At least the general combat idea can convince the public.

If you make a name for yourself, you will first capture the king.

This is actually a military strategy.

Of course... the only problem here is... the matter is very simple, but the details inside... are difficult everywhere.

For example, attacking a barracks is very simple, but how can we ensure success and how can we ensure that these people escape unscathed?

It is very simple to reach the palace. But after landing, how can you ensure that you quickly defeat the opponent's guards and at the same time ensure that you hold the King of Great Food in a very short time? Then... how can you ensure that you are calmly evacuated under the encirclement of a large army?

Even after evacuation, how to respond and how to ensure that you get rid of the pursuers?

Operational planning is one thing, but implementation is another!

It is not difficult to imagine that any mistake or any mistake may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

People like Li Shimin and Li Jing, who have led troops for many years, know this best. The more detailed the battle plan is, the more mistakes there may be. Therefore, these mistakes are accumulated and difficult to recover, and eventually cause huge problems.

So Li Shimin said in shock: "Zhengtai, did you come up with this plan?"

"No." Chen Zhengtai shook his head and said, "It was the idea that the Prince and his son-in-law came up together. When he heard that Xuanzang was in danger, the world was vibrated, and the people of Chang'an were all eager for Monk Xuanzang. His Prince saw it and was anxious in his heart. He told the Prince, what is the use of crying all day long? Could it be that he had made a golden body for the Buddha and hung a blessing sign. Amitabha Buddha in his sunday, and could he save the monk? He was like His Royal Highness, and he felt it was better to... find a way to rescue him! Because of this, the Prince and his son-in-law jointly formulated a strategy for combat!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai paused before saying: "After this plan... we all felt that we had great hope. On the one hand, we were prepared to attack but not. On the other hand, the killer weapon of my Tang Dynasty, the Great Cannibal, is not clear. As long as we suddenly attack and make sure to complete the plan within one stick of incense, then... even if this Great Cannibal has a million troops, we can still take the head of the general."

When Li Shimin heard that the prince was related to this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian.

The civil and military officials were all tense and solemn at this time.

You know, a few days ago, everyone was mocking the prince and Chen Zhengtai for donating such a little money, praising the King of Wu and Shu for being generous and compassionate.

Thinking about it now, I feel so ashamed! Yes, what's the use of King Wu and King Shu just donating some money?

If you really care about Xuanzang, shouldn’t it be important to save people?

Of course, at that time, everyone's first reaction was not to save people.

No wonder everyone, but the food is too far away, and Xuanzang's life and death are uncertain. It is impossible to bring 100,000 troops and horses to go on a hard expedition just to save Xuanzang?

Everyone has already agreed that Xuanzang is dead, so they all feel that it is most important to take this opportunity to show love.

Chen Zhengtai continued at this time: "The plan this time is indeed a bit risky, but His Highness the Crown Prince and his son-in-law both felt that it was worth taking risks for this. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince and his son-in-law both had compassion. When he thought that the monk Xuanzang was in danger, he couldn't sleep or eat. The people dispatched this time... were all the elites among the elites in the army, and were all the children of the Chen family."

When Li Shimin heard this, he still felt like he was sleepwalking.

He thought about it carefully. If it were him, he might not have dared to make such a decision.

These two guys are not only bold, but also meticulous. Such a bold plan would never be successful without the two people's careful plans.

In addition... these ninety people are needed, each of whom is extraordinary. Anyone who has poor strength may fail.

"What arrangements did the Big Food King... make in your plan?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "In the plan of the Prince, once the King of Great Food is taken down, he will exchange hostages with the Great Food. That is to say, once the Great Food is given to Xuanzang, then... he will return the King of Great Food to them."

The ministers were shocked again.

It’s hard to catch the cannibal, just like that…just change to one monk?

At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have the atmosphere of politeness that would talk about morality after the prevalence of Neo-Confucianism.

In their opinion... it would be unreasonable if you don't hit that big cannibal hard.

But when Li Shimin heard this, he was overjoyed.

It is already amazing to save people. Judging from the results of this action, it must be straightforward and clear, without dragging on the ground, which is enough to prove the ability of the two people.

Of course... what really made him happy was that the prince and Chen Zhengtai actually chose to exchange hostages directly.

"That's great." Li Shimin said happily: "A man cannot stand without trust. If a man is greedy, he is domineering. Domineering cannot last long. And those who truly accomplish great things must practice the kingly way. What is the kingly way? That is to restrain one's own greed. People's suspense is endless, and only those who can restrain these. Although those great zombies seem to have taken advantage of it, in fact... I, dozens of people in the Tang Dynasty, can capture them once, and in the future, the second and third time. This is just a warning. And I, the Tang Dynasty, do what I say, are already frightened, and they are bound to be afraid of my Tang Dynasty... and are also trying every means to get along with my Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin believed that this move showed a deep political wisdom, which was not something that ordinary people could do. He couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian: "Prince..."

Li Chengqian said: "My son is here."

"Do you really have one of these?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but say angrily: "Father, my son minister has made great efforts in it. Why is the father so suspicious of his son minister when it comes to an end?"

Li Shimin smiled, then sighed: "I didn't expect it... If so, you will really solve my urgent needs. Come... tomorrow, let Xuanzang enter the palace to meet. The prince and King Liang have great achievements, so they should be commended. However... those soldiers who go deep into the tiger's den should also reward them well and should not be disheartened. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War should reiterate their merits as soon as possible."

The shock in the hearts of the ministers had not yet passed, but they saluted one after another: "Abide by the order."

But at this moment... an eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Chang has an urgent report."

Gaochang...
To be continued...
