Li Shimin looked around at the few people, and said: "It is our people who called you here today, and they also developed gunpowder. It is the explosive weapon under Du Qi's command, and our Tang Dynasty also has it now. Du Qi's weapon, we all have it." Yes. So now, I, Datang, no longer have to be afraid of Du Qi's weapons."
Having said these words, Li Shimin was extremely confident, and felt a sense of elation.
It's so cool!
After Li Shimin spoke, he paused for a while and continued: "The purpose of calling you here today is to discuss the strategy of sending troops. Now that our strength has surged, we have the conditions to send troops. Do you have any suggestions for this, and Think there is something wrong."
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think you can send troops to the west immediately. After all, we already have weapons, which means we have the upper hand."
Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, once there is a war, it will be out of control."
Fang Xuanling said: "I have no objection to going to war. However, I think that no matter what, you should be well prepared, and you must not be rash and impulsive."
Li Shimin nodded after listening to the words of several people. But he didn't make a judgment immediately, but looked at Li Jing and said, "Duke Wei, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I know that a war with Xia Guo is definitely inevitable. Either sooner or later, there will be such a war sooner or later."
Li Shimin nodded his head when he heard what Li Jing said, with a look of approval.
Li Jing is a sophisticated plan.
At this point, there is actually no chance or possibility of relaxation between Datang and Xia. If the wars of the past hadn't happened, Hou Junji hadn't died in battle, Changsun Wuji hadn't been humiliated, Duan Zhixuan hadn't been captured alive, without all of these things, maybe there would have been a turning point, but now, there is no turning point .
Li Shimin said: "Guo Wei thinks how should we fight this battle?"
When it comes to the method of using troops, Li Jing is at the level of a master.
It is more thoughtful.
Li Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty and Xia Kingdom fought again and again. In the past, the Xia Kingdom was only strong in Yizhou, Gaochang Prefecture and other places. When the second war started, Du Qi had the entire Western Region The states. Up to now, Du Qi has controlled the entire Western Region, and also included a part of the Jieri Kingdom, his strength is not the same as that of the West, and even has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"I boldly predict that if we start a war with Du Qi again this time, Du Qi will definitely not let it go, it won't be like before, just talking."
"This time, once the war starts, Du Qi will go all out. Even, if we are in a disadvantageous situation, Du Qi will even lead his army into the territory of Datang."
"Because Du Qi is no longer afraid of Datang."
In Li Jing's muddy eyes, there was a touch of brightness, and he continued: "It was impossible for Du Qi to swallow like a snake, but now he is like a lion and tiger, so he will go all out to fight. Therefore, to start a war, That is to be fully prepared. I believe that there are four arrangements to be made at the moment."
Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's words, thought about it carefully, and found that it was true.
Once Du Qi, has been a little forbearing.
But now, Du Qi may not bear it anymore, he must choose to go all out.
Li Shimin said: "Mr. Wei, on the Tang side, we want to start a war with Du Qi. What four things should we consider?"
Li Jingdao: "Returning to Your Majesty, the first aspect is to change the strategy for the surrounding area. Before that, we arranged envoys and hoped to join forces with Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, etc., but all of them because of Du Qi's strength Strengthening, all evading and delaying.¡±
"But now, it is unnecessary to adopt the previous soft strategy. As soon as our gunpowder is developed, let the envoys go there with the gunpowder, directly show their strength, let them send troops to assist, and join us in the crusade against Du Qi."
"If they don't send troops, then they should be leveled first. Of course, they can also be lured by benefits, that is, as long as they help Datang take down Du Qi, they can promise to give them the method of making gunpowder."
Li Jing said: "This is just a promise. When Du Qi is destroyed, the next step is to destroy all countries."
What he said showed Li Jing's sophistication.
Intimidation and temptation!
And it's ruthless!
After Li Shimin listened to it, he laughed, with a look of approval on his face, and said: "The Duke of Wei is right. Now we have gunpowder, the most powerful weapon, and we have no more weapons."?After all, in the hands of Du Qi, Changsun Wuji was humiliated by Du Qi twice in a row. The first time he knelt in front of Du Qi to apologize, and the second time he knelt and apologized in front of everyone. Especially when Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, the eldest grandson Wuji was also hated by Du Qi.
So Changsun Wuji hated Du Qi the most.
Can't wait for Du Qi to die.
The rest of the people also looked at Du Qi together, with some expectation in their eyes.
Li Shimin pressed down the letter, and said in a deep voice: "The latest news is that Du Qi has now issued an edict to the entire Tianzhu that he will send troops south again to attack the countries in the south of Tianzhu. If Du Qi had never sent troops, what would happen to the situation in Tianzhu , and it has remained unchanged, because it is still difficult for the countries in the south of Tianzhu to attack Du Qi, and they can only defend."
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Du Qi will not send troops. When we are going to attack Du Qi, then Du Qi can go all out to resist, but now Du Qi has sent troops to the south. Then if I send troops in the Tang Dynasty, Du Qi must be at a loss. Even under Du Qi's command, there is still an army to support, but such a force is not something to be afraid of."
"God bless me, Datang."
"Du Qi's Xia Kingdom should be destroyed."
Li Shimin was even more happy at this moment. Because of this battle and Du Qi's fight, Du Qi seemed to be going south to attack the countries of Tianzhu, but he was also hit by the enemy. At that time, neither side will please, and neither side will have an advantage.
Changsun Wuji thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
The rest of the people also opened up one after another.
It's all about celebrating.
The smile on Li Shimin's face was even wider, and he immediately ordered: "Everyone, our opportunity has come. Let's all go down and make arrangements, and the schedule is ready. Within two months at most, we will send troops to attack Xia Guo."
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Following the crowd's departure, Changsun Wuji still did not leave, and stayed in the hall.
Li Shimin called: "Auxiliary machine, do you have anything else to do?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, we are now plotting to deal with Du Qi. The general direction of this plan has been set. However, I think there is still an omission that needs to be made up."
Li Shimin said: "Where?"
Changsun Wuji said, "Hejian County King."
A light flashed across Li Shimin's eyes, and his expression became quite serious. In fact, Li Xiaogong, the current king of Hejian County, rarely intervenes in government affairs, and mainly hosts banquets for fun. You must know that Li Xiaogong's influence in the clan, although not as influential as Li Shentong, has made great military exploits and helped Li Shimin make great achievements. It stands to reason that with Li Xiaogong's qualifications and background, he must be powerful, but Li Xiaogong seemed to have retreated all of a sudden, completely disappearing in the court.
The reason is because of Du Qi.
Li Xiaogong is Du Qi's father-in-law.
Because of this relationship, Li Xiaogong took the initiative not to get involved in the affairs of the court. Although Li Shimin never marginalized Li Xiaogong, nor treated Li Xiaogong harshly, Li Xiaogong himself has gradually retreated.
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, what do you mean?"
Changsun Wuji said: "The King of Hejian County is a clan after all, and has great influence among clansmen. If the method of arrest and control is adopted, it will easily cause disturbances, and it will also cause discussions in the clan. Therefore, I think, Arrange unscrupulous people to watch Hejian County King day and night, and at the same time, I will personally go to Hejian County King's Mansion and beat Hejian County King to warn him not to go out. In this way, we can ensure that Hejian County King's office will not There was a mistake."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "If that's the case, you can just walk away."
"I obey!"
Changsun Wuji responded, bowed to Li Shimin, then turned and left. At this moment, Changsun Wuji was quite proud of himself. The reason is very simple, Li Xiaogong is Du Qi's father-in-law, now Li Xiaogong is in a difficult situation, and the eldest grandson Wuji goes to beat him, so he can take the opportunity to vent.
The anger he received from Du Qi could not be spread on Du Qi. But Li Xiaogong was in Chang'an, so Changsun Wuji could take the opportunity to make trouble this time and take his anger out on Changsun Wuji.
Who made Li Xiaogong the father-in-law of Changsun Wuji.
It's all Du Qi's fault.
No wonder he.
After all, Du Qi has implicated his son, and now that he is taking revenge on Du Qi, he also implicates Du Qi's father-in-law, Li Xiaogong, which is reciprocal. So Changsun Wuji was full of anticipation, and happily went to Li Xiaogong's mansion. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
