Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "At any rate, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I once again asked Du Qi for peace. Wouldn't it be that I stretched my face in front of Du Qi? Du Qi slaps me in the face? I won't do such things. Therefore, there is no need to mention the talk of peace right now."
Xiao Yu said: "The minister is guilty!"
He spoke directly.
Li Shimin shook his head, stopped talking to Xiao Yu, and turned to look at the others. Although Fang Xuanling didn't have a strategy, the rest of the people might not have a solution.
Following Li Shimin's gaze, they looked away one by one, but they did not dare to look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin refused to ask for peace, so it was very difficult.
To start a war with Du Qi, but Du Qi not only has the weapons to bomb the city, but also has elephant soldiers. Even if the Tang Dynasty has Xuanjia cavalry, he is still at a disadvantage in front of Du Qi.
So if you want to fight, you can't win.
Li Shimin sighed and said again: "Don't all the ministers have a strategy to block Du Qi?"
Everyone kept silent.
Because at the moment, the situation is really unfavorable.
Li Shimin's heart sank, he waved his hands and said, "Let's all back down."
"The minister is waiting to leave."
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others all resigned.
In the main hall, only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian father and son were left.
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, and said with an angry look: "Father, my ministers think that whether it is Wei Zheng, or Fang Xuanling and others, it's not that they can't come up with suggestions, it's because each of them has a different heart. Especially Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, they came back from Ganzhou, Longyou Road, and brought back the money and treasures donated by Du Qi, they are damned. I think that right now, we should put an end to such a situation and deal with a group of people , to warn everyone."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Who do you want to deal with?"
Li Chengqian said: "Let's start with Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, and deal with these two first. Then, according to the information obtained by the bad guys, we will deal with those who are not doing well."
Li Shimin shook his head.
A look of disapproval.
Li Chengqian said: "Why doesn't my father agree?"
Li Shimin said: "Nowadays in the Tang Dynasty, people's hearts are unstable. If you follow your suggestion, then there is no need for Du Qi to kill, and our own internal affairs will be even more chaotic. At present, the country is unstable, and what we need is to unite everything." , to unite all the people who can be united. If even this cannot be achieved, then the follow-up battle with Du Qi will be even more defeated."
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Prince, the use of heavy codes in troubled times must mean that there is no external threat. Now that there are internal and external troubles, the Tang Dynasty cannot stand the toss. So right now, we can't set up large-scale prisons. What we have to do now , is to unite all forces that can be united, and this is what should be done.¡±
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said with a resentful expression, "Could it be that the only thing we can do now is to seek peace?"
Li Shimin was also silent.
For Li Shimin, seeking peace is tantamount to breaking Li Shimin's bottom line.
You must know that Li Shimin used to be the king on the battlefield, invincible and invincible. But the current Li Shimin seems to be in a predicament and unable to extricate himself.
Li Chengqian said: "Father, don't we really have no strength to fight?"
"Yes, but it may not be possible to win!"
Li Shimin said: "Now this time, it is still the same as the previous fight in Changbaipo. We fight with all our strength. And we are the defensive side, so we can use up our troops to fight. But in the end, we will fight this kind of war of attrition. Lose all the power. In the end, it is unable to suppress the domestic situation. The entire Tang Dynasty is falling apart, and fireworks will be lit everywhere."
Li Chengqian said: "Father, since this is the case, let's go crazy."
Li Shimin said: "How crazy?"
Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said with a resentful look: "I would rather throw the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the domestic rioters than to Du Qi. If it is given to Du Qi, it will be meat buns beating dogs, and there will be no return." But in China, we still have a chance."
"My son's suggestion is very simple. Let's fight Du Qi again. Organize all the troops, like Changbaipo, to fight Du Qi. Only by fighting like this can Du Qi's troops be consumed. We will fight with Du Qi Du Qi is fighting a war of attrition."
"Consume all of Du Qi's troops."
"Last time, Du Qi lost tens of thousands of elites. Now in this battle, we once again consumed all his troops. I don't believe it. Du Qi was able to maintain such a loss at the beginning of his kingdom. Fear of such a loss."
"When this battle is over, Du Qi is short of troops, so he will retreat naturally. If he doesn't retreat, once there is a change in the country of Xia, Du Qi may not be able to suppress it, so it is impossible for Du Qi to stay."
Li Chengqian said: "Although our military strength will be consumed in this battle. But for us, there are still border troops. Regardless of Tubo and Goguryeo's invasion of the border, we will withdraw all our troops to Chang'an and focus on Chang'an again. , and began to sweep up the surrounding traitors. In this way, the situation in the country will naturally be suppressed."
"As for Du Qi's threat, it's time to wait for Du Qi to attack next time. Anyway, if we can't fight for weapons, we will fight for soldiers and consumption. At this time, it depends on who is more ruthless."
"We're going all out."
"Regardless of the domestic situation, regardless of border issues."
Li Chengqian said: "We are targeting the army that Du Qi killed. I don't believe that Du Qi dares to continue fighting with us in the end. Once Du Qizhen continues to fight, he will not be able to afford it."
Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up. This is a good suggestion. Anyway, Datang has reached the most dangerous time, and Datang has no way out.
Then go all out.
It depends on who fights harder and who is more ruthless.
Seeing that Li Shimin hesitated and his expression changed, Li Chengqian already knew in his heart that Li Shimin was moved.
Li Chengqian hit the iron while the iron was hot, and said again: "Father, why should we ask for peace? Once we ask for peace again, it will sweep Datang's face again. Sending Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda to seek peace before has already lost the face of Datang and made people's hearts Floating. Now, only by showing iron and blood methods can people's hearts be saved."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "The prince's words are not unreasonable. So far in the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be lost. Du Qi is too deceitful, so we will accompany him to the end."
Li Chengqian said: "Father is wise!"
Li Shimin is not an indecisive person. After he made a decision in his mind, he immediately made arrangements and informed the officials of the court to gather. After Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and the rest of the generals gathered, Li Shimin directly said the next thing arrange.
When everyone heard the words, they were a little shocked when they learned that they were going to fight Du Qi again. Many people tried to persuade them, but Li Shimin directly acted arbitrarily, rejected the courtier's suggestion, and made the decision to fight Du Qi again.
This time, Li Shimin once again marched in person.
Li Shimin actually has more than 100,000 troops, which is all the troops raised during this period. These troops were newly recruited, and it took Li Shimin's hard work to have the current strength of 140,000 to 50,000. It can be said that the current batch of troops alone has exhausted the foundation of Datang. It is impossible to raise more troops.
Following the implementation of Li Shimin's order, the war machine of the entire Tang Dynasty has begun to start. The 150,000 troops under Li Shimin's command gathered in a short period of time, and then set off for Longyou Road. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
