Tang gaozu has a smile in his eyes. Why doesn’t he smile? Pei Ji is a confidant who has always been able to guess his mind. Pei Ji has a particularly high position among Tang Dynasty ministers. After taking a satisfied look at Pei Ji, Li Yuan leisurely swept the ministers, especially Dugu Huaien and Wei Ji. One of them is the leader of Gansu power, while the other is not the gathering power, but his position is also very detached.
Li Yuan’s eyes made Du Guhuai ‘en very dissatisfied. This is no longer a matter of discussing food with him, but a kind of coercion. Du Guhuai ‘en was very upset. He was about to speak when Wei Ji coughed, "Du Lingwei’s family is also willing to take out 50 thousand stones of food!"
Wei Ji’s words made Dugu Huai ‘en blurt out and the words came to his lips or were swallowed. His eyes swept away and he saw that many people in the room were looking at him. Dugu Huai ‘en’s eyes turned and he knew what to do at this time. His face piled up a smile and said, "Dugu is willing to take out mangoku food!"
Tang gaozu narrowed his eyes. This harvest is still satisfactory, but the grain of 230,000 mangokus is far from enough. Tang gaozu smiled and listened to him. "You are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. I promise to be generous to you in the future!"
Tang gaozu said when his eyes swept over the noble face with Peishi and Dugu’s statement. He also expressed his willingness to contribute money. Li Jiancheng slightly calculated that the food was at least 350,000 stones and 200,000 stones for Datang’s movable food exceeded 500,000 stones. Li Jiancheng mused in his heart that he could move 300,000 to 400,000 stones when he needed it.
When the grain problem was solved, Li Yuan’s face smiled. He knocked on the case and said, "There is no big problem with the food problem, but do you see Datang as an army?"
Yes, Sui Jun’s attack on Jiangdong has his strategic significance, that is, pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, showing the trend of hegemony between the North and the South after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the Tang Dynasty? Unify the north? However, there are many forces in the north, and Longxi is an anti-Sui force; The Central Plains is the power of Wang Shichong; Hebei is more complicated. Although Luo Yi surrendered, actually hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Youzhou are still firmly in the hands of Luo Yi. There is no difference between Qiangfan and. Once the situation is wrong, it is likely to leave the Tang Dynasty. In addition to Luo Yi, there are forces such as Liu Heita and Dou Jiande.
Where will Datang go in the future? After a short silence, everyone spoke in succession. Some people said to take Longxi, some people said to take the Central Plains, and some people said to take Hebei. Everyone argued endlessly, and the imperial house was very noisy.
Although Tang gaozu is old, he has heard clearly that the ministers said that taking Longxi is to eliminate the threat of the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and Longxi has a strategic position compared with Hanzhong and Bashu. Once taking Longxi, Hanzhong or Bashu is a good choice.
Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie and others have betrayed Luoyang in succession, proving that Wang Shichong has no effective means to check and balance the Ministry. Once the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Luoyang, it would be able to attack the Central Plains in one go, but the unique geographical situation of the Central Plains since ancient times enabled it to attack in all directions.
Once you take the Central Plains or North Hebei or East Mountain East, it’s a good choice. Even you can cooperate with military forces to attack Nanyang and let them know that Datang is not easy to mess with.
It also makes sense to take Hebei, and most of Hebei can be captured by uniting with Youzhou Luo Yi, and Ma Pingchuan and Hebei have always been a land of fish and rice. If you take Hebei and Hebei, you can make rice and fat in Man Cang in less than two years.
Tang gaozu clapped his hands and laughed, "Be quiet."
Emperor Tang spoke, and all his ministers were quiet. Tang gaozu took one look at them with satisfaction. Only then did he say, "Your opinions have been understood, and each has its own reasons. If Datang is rich in national strength, my idea is to invade at the same time."
"But the treasure house is exhausted and the soldiers are tired. The idea is to let Zhonghe Bingzhou recharge their batteries and launch a fatal blow when they are tired!" Tang gaozu said eyes swept Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng coughed, "Father’s kindness is the blessing of the people, and the country is blessed. Now Luo Yi, the manager of Youzhou, is dispatching troops to join the King of Han Dong in attacking Dou Jiande. I think I must give him some support."
Li Jiancheng’s implication is to support sending troops to attack and attack Hebei. When he said this, his ministers raised eyebrows and sent troops to Hebei. If the situation between the north and the south goes smoothly, it’s still unclear who will die all day!
Li Jiancheng’s voice just fell on Li Yuanji’s fist and said, "Father, emperor and son are willing to lead twenty thousand troops to Hebei to take Dou Jiande’s head and return it!"
When Chai Shao heard this, he also raised his fist and said, "I am willing to go out!" He had long known that Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, had betrothed his daughter Yong An Gongzhu to Sui Emperor, so he immediately spoke out and invited the war to take it out on Yang You and Dou Jiande.
Samurai wok, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and others did not speak but looked at all this very calmly.
After a slight hesitation, Li Jiancheng suddenly said, "Father, emperor, son and minister guarantee to play the king of Qin to lead the troops!"
Li Jiancheng’s words speak like a calm lake. A boulder has been thrown into the lake, causing ripples for a long time. Li Shimin has also widened his eyes. Is there such a proposal? Is there any conspiracy? Li Shimin watched too expression can’t see the clue.
Pei Ji stare big eyes tend to be too. He can’t figure out how can he recommend the king of Qin? Isn’t this giving him credit? Ministers immediately buzzing around their respective talking about Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan’s eyes with excitement. If the king of Qin led the troops, the odds would be great.
Tang gaozu slightly one leng is to suppress the king of Qin, he will unload the king of Qin, but how did it happen? But Tang gaozu knew that Taitai was already a qualified politician. What he said must have been well thought out and Li Jiancheng spoke again after a little effort.
"Father, the war in Hebei, the decline of Datang, if you take Hebei, you can attack Luoyang on three sides. If you say that Shi Mi Luoyang is besieged on all sides, once this situation is formed, Datang will occupy an advantage. If you rest for a year or two, you can unify the south in the north!"
Li Jiancheng said slowly, staring at Li Shimin’s clear and bright moment. Li Shimin felt the big brother’s mind. He blurted out, "Father, emperor and son are willing to lead the troops to take Hebei!"
Tang gaozu thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "Since the king of Qin served me wholeheartedly, I will allow you to be sealed by the king of Qin, and the general manager of marching in Hebei Road will give you 30,000 Bing soldiers to send troops to Jingxing to meet and lead Li Shenfu, and Luo Yi will take Hebei to capture Dou Jiande!"
Li Shimin was delighted that his father had allowed him to go to war, which was a great good thing. He didn’t want to think much about it when he came. "Yes, my son!"
Tang gaozu’s eyes were full of profound meaning. He swept around the ministers and added, "Chai Shao, Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji, pack your bags at the same speed and go out with the king of Qin!"
The three of them embraced their fists with joy. "Yes!"
After the discussion was settled, the ministers got up and left Li Yuan and told Li Shimin a few words. After that, Li Shimin went out. Li Yuanji saw him outside and snorted, "Is it good for the king of Qin to be defeated?"
Li Shimin didn’t look up and replied, "That is, if I lose, I will commit suicide and I won’t drag out an ignoble existence!"
You!’ Li Yuanji was about to speak when he was furious. Li Shimin had hurried out.
Imperial room Li Jiancheng stayed for the time being. Li Yuan looked at Taitai silently and asked, "What are you doing this?"
Chapter 627 Two threats
Tang gaozu’s address softened Li Jiancheng’s heart. At this time, they were fathers rather than ministers.
Li Jiancheng’s eyes with a sincere way, "Dad Jiangshan country is heavy and I think my father has some misunderstandings about the king of Qin."
Tang gaozu grunted coldly. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, still has some fears in his heart. This fear is not only the arrow shot at Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, but also his reasons. For example, the invasion of Tong was a feint to cooperate with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to send troops to seize Xiangyang.
Although sending troops to Xiangyang afterwards proved to be an anti-Sui conspiracy, there was no mistake in Datang’s general direction strategy. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, suddenly attacked Wang Shichong, which directly led to the rupture of Wang Shichong, which greatly affected Datang’s hope and reputation.
In addition, there is another consequence of this incident, that is, Wang Shichong took refuge in the anti-Sui Dynasty, which made the Tang Dynasty have an enemy. This is not the case. The situation of the old Sui Dynasty was that Li Yuan and Wang Shichong should be huddled together to fight against the anti-Sui Dynasty, but the original plan was disrupted and this person was the king of Qin.
Tang gaozu didn’t say anything in his heart, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t think of it, because once he asked Li Shimin, it meant that he was also responsible. Li Shimin was not only his minister, but also his son asked Li Shimin not to serve your orders. At the same time, it also meant that Tang gaozu wouldn’t be a man. How could Tang gaozu slap his mouth? He just turned a blind eye to all this.
