Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan who was still shaking his head when he sat down, feeling a little unbearable. Li Yuan's body was almost overwhelmed, especially in the cold winter last year, when he almost died of illness. Fortunately, he survived, but now, Li Yuan dragged his body to the front line again, obviously worried about the situation on the front line.
Li Shimin said: "Father, you don't need to come to the front line. You don't have to worry about the situation on the front line right now, I will arrange it myself. This battle will not end in a day or two."
Although Jiuquan County is lost, Li Shimin's army is still there.
Li Shimin can fight again.
So Li Shimin still has fighting spirit.
Li Yuan sighed, turned his head slightly, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Emperor, the domestic situation is unstable. Even if the crown prince is in charge of the country, there is Fang Xuanling to assist in governing the country. But at the moment, it is difficult to stabilize the situation. Great Tang There have been rebels and rebels in various places, and there are not a few people who killed officials and rebelled. Even some monsters and monsters from the former Sui Dynasty also sprang out. The inside of the Tang Dynasty is in chaos! It is for this reason that the old man came to the front line in person .¡±
brush!
Li Shimin's complexion changed drastically.
How can it be?
He hasn't been here long at the front.
Previously everything was fine, and the localities were still stable, but now there is chaos in various places. This news made Li Shimin's mood, which had just calmed down, fluctuate again.
Even, there was a little panic in my heart.
The stability behind Datang is the cornerstone.
If the rear is in chaos and Li Shimin wants to fight steadily with Du Qi, that's impossible.
Li Shimin was still a little reconciled, and said: "Father, everything was fine before. Why did such a big trouble break out all of a sudden. Everywhere, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "You have conquered the Xia Kingdom several times, and you have mobilized countless troops. Countless soldiers died on the front line. Countless soldiers did not return home. It has a huge impact on the world. Furthermore, The arrest of merchants in the Xia Kingdom has affected the business system of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the lives of the people have also been greatly affected."
"So, there have been fluctuations in various places."
"It's just because you suppressed the situation when you were in Chang'an. Or the news from many places never came out. After you left, the news broke out one after another."
"The prince can no longer suppress it."
"Especially before, many officials from various places were assassinated. Some of these people died under Du Qi's secret stake, but some of them were done by people with ulterior motives, just to seize power. Therefore, due to various reasons, the situation suddenly appeared. collapse."
Li Yuan's voice was hoarse, even a little deep, and he said slowly: "Emperor, at this point, we can't continue to fight. If Du Qi has not made a breakthrough here, the country will be in complete chaos first. Once there is chaos in the country If you fall into the trap, then you are a rootless duckweed. To fight against the outside world, you need to stabilize the inside first, and you must stabilize the inside before you can fight Du Qi again."
Li Shimin was extremely irritable.
The situation is too bad.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the domestic situation made things worse for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Father, if you return to Chang'an, you will personally preside over the situation. Can the current domestic situation be suppressed and the chaotic situation stabilized?"
He has pinned his hopes on Li Yuan.
After all, Li Yuan has experience.
also has prestige.
Originally, it was impossible for a supreme emperor who had already been in Zen to go out of the mountain. Even, will be all kinds of defense. But right now Li Shimin's situation is already extremely bad, that's why he dared to make such an arrangement.
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Emperor, after talking a few more words now, the old man is exhausted. How can he still have the energy to govern the government. If it were a few years ago, he might still have the energy, but now it is impossible."
Li Shimin fell silent for a moment.
How to choose?
If he gave up fighting with Du Qi, he would have to seek peace, but this is what Li Shimin is unwilling to choose. However, if you don't seek peace and continue to fight Du Qi, the domestic situation will continue to be chaotic. If you don't suppress it quickly and it evolves into a nationwide turmoil, it will be impossible to suppress it.
Li Shimin was in a dilemma for a while.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan."
There was light in Li Shimin's eyes, and he asked, "Auxiliary machine, what's your plan?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Under the premise that there is chaos everywhere in the country, it is definitely impossible to abandon the country. Your Majesty must go back and take charge of the overall situation, otherwise the situation will continue to collapse But if we withdraw our troops directly, Du Qi will make progress. So even if you want to withdraw the troops and negotiate peace with Du Qi, you must let Du Qi know that the Tang Dynasty cannot be bullied, and that the Tang Dynasty still has the power to fight. "
Li Yuan suddenly interjected: "Changsun Wuji, you mean to let the emperor fight Du Qi again."
Changsun Wuji said: "It is not only a battle, but also a fight with all our strength. We don't care about anything, we just go all out to attack and fight with all our strength. When Du Qi is in Changbaipo, we will attack with all our strength. Even if we suffer a huge loss, Du Qi will not feel comfortable. In the end, even if Du Qi has a certain advantage, it will be difficult for him to attack again. At that time, we will negotiate peace with Du Qi again, and things will be easy .¡±
Li Shimin was a little moved when he heard it.
It's a choice.
is a good arrangement.
Although Li Yuan said that he was extremely old, and that his body seemed to be filled with decadence, his mind was exceptionally sober. He said in a deep voice: "Emperor, Changsun Wuji's suggestion is good. But this choice must be based on Du On the premise that Qi's loss is very large. Once Du Qi still has an army, then when the time comes, what do you have to resist."
Li Shimin said: "What the father said is true."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, and continued: "The other most important thing is that the country is in turmoil. You don't have enough troops to go back to suppress the situation. Do you just talk about it? The troops you have now are to go back. A sharp weapon to suppress the situation. Emperor, don¡¯t think too much about everything. If you predict too well, you will be disappointed in the end.¡±
Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, you underestimate the soldiers of my Tang Dynasty too."
Li Yuan said angrily: "I have never underestimated the bravery of the Tang soldiers. On the contrary, you underestimated Du Qi too much. It is extremely unwise to provoke again and again. Changsun Wuji, all previous and You are inseparable from Xia Guo's great war, and you are all instigated. You, you deserve to die."
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "The old man is not opposed to going to war with Xia Guo, but if you want to go to war, you must go all out and do everything. If you mobilize 400,000 to 500,000 troops to kill them at the beginning, Maybe it¡¯s different. Every time an army of 200,000 to 300,000 seems to be a lot, but it gives Xia Guo a chance.¡±
Changsun Wuji smiled sarcastically.
He did not defend himself.
Because he believed that Li Shimin had his own judgment.
Li Shimin said: "Father, let's not talk about the past. What we need to consider now is to solve the current problem. I also know that Father's analysis is reasonable. It is definitely impossible to continue the war now."
"I admit defeat."
Li Shimin said a word directly.
He really gave up.
The situation is unfavorable, and he can't admit defeat, because the country is in chaos right now, and he has to do so.
Li Yuan sighed deeply when he heard Li Shimin's words. Knowing the son is better than the father, he clearly knows how proud Li Shimin is, but now he admits defeat in front of him, which shows the helplessness in Li Shimin's heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
