In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was listening to Li An's report after reading the memorial.
"More than 400 people have been arrested so far today, and the search is still continuing. The Habayashi Guards adopt mobile patrols. In this way, what some teams fail to see may be seen by the next team."
"There are more than 400 people, and it becomes harder to find them as you get to the back. If they gain a foothold and have a legal identity, they will stay peacefully in the next few days." Li Shimin analyzed.
"Your Majesty, they all have letters on them, why aren't they searched individually?" Li An was puzzled. If they were searched one by one at the city gate, wouldn't they all be found?
"There are tens of thousands of people entering the city every day. If they are searched one by one, it may cause panic to the people and it will be a waste of time. We know that 3,000 people enter the city. What if we don't know? It is impossible to search every day. Then How many people can enter in one day? How will the people talk about the court then?" Li Shimin rejected Li An's idea.
"This time can be regarded as a kind of training, allowing the military guards to find shortcomings. Lao Shi said that we should sum up experience and prepare for future emergencies.
If the people coming in this time are people from other countries, or people who intend to rebel. When the time comes to attack Chang'an, we should cooperate internally and externally. How could Chang'an City be defended? "Li Shimin has already analyzed it. This assessment has given Li Shimin a deep reminder.
"Come here, call in all the Dukes. And send people outside the palace to recruit the Dukes of Wei." Li Shimin was going to discuss the matter with important ministers.
Especially the princes who understand military affairs. The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, is currently recuperating at home and has long ignored government affairs. In fact, he is avoiding disaster. Li Jing's contribution is too great and he is afraid.
Half an hour later, Wei Guogong Li Jing was the last one to arrive at Liangyi Hall, where bigwigs from all parties gathered.
"Everyone, sit down. I have invited you here because I want to discuss something with you." After seeing everyone sit down, Li Shimin continued: "You should all know what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days."
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the mobilization of the Imperial Army?" Changsun Wuji, as Situ, said
"That's exactly what happened." Li Shimin nodded.
"I have heard about it. I know that His Majesty is training the team with King Ji." Fang Xuanling stood up and said. In fact, everyone has heard of it. It's just that nothing big happened, and the two of them had a lot of fun. Li Shimin didn't take the initiative to tell them, so they didn't ask.
"Indeed, I originally thought it was just King Ji's random idea, and I was just making a bet with him. But I just got some inspiration from it, so I called you all here to discuss it.
The thing is that King Ji wants to select a special team with extraordinary abilities. He named it Special Forces. But because there were so many people, I figured out a way. Let three thousand people sneak into Chang'an City for three days and let me send people to arrest them.
This is a children's game, I thought it was very simple. But that's not the case now. This is the news that has been passed down, dear friends, please take a look." Li Shimin told the story of this operation and then showed the news to the people below.
Wang De took a few pieces of paper and asked them to circulate them. The paper was very concise and he read it in a moment. Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak: "Three thousand people have mixed in and more than 2,600 people have come in. What do the left and right military guards do for food? Didn't you check the road signs and nameplates?"
"Mr. Lu, we have checked everything. Moreover, we have twice the manpower as usual. We have enough manpower to check very carefully. But these people don't know what method they used to find any abnormality." Li An explained beside him.
"Huh, what a waste." Cheng Yaojin could only mutter. He is the epitome of foolhardiness.
"Don't talk nonsense if you know the truth. City gate investigation itself is not easy. It would be difficult to catch if you don't reveal your flaws." Qin Qiong stopped Cheng Yaojin from continuing for fear of offending others.
"Everyone has seen it. You are all capable ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think?" Li Shimin asked after everyone had finished reading.
For a while, no one spoke first. I don’t know what Li Shimin meant. At this moment, Duke Wei Li Jing spoke.
"Your Majesty, I just heard that King Ji is going to select a special force. I don't know what kind of force it is. Now the most elite force in our Tang Dynasty is the Xuanjia Army under your Majesty's control. No one can defeat it wherever it goes. What King Ji selected is weapons. , Or cavalry. Or crossbowmen?"
Everyone was also curious about what kind of soldier Li Shen wanted to choose. Li Shimin thought about what Li Shen told him that day and said to everyone: "King Ji told me that he not only wants soldiers with strong force, but also soldiers who understand strategy and use their brains. They can carry out difficult tasks.
Able to sneak behind enemy lines for reconnaissance and escort work. And assassinate enemy generals. King Ji did not elaborate on what else was involved, but I can probably guess a little bit. "
Everyone has led soldiers, even Changsun Wuji has been on the battlefield. So when Li Shimin said it, he knew it was a unit similar to a spy.
"Your Majesty, does Prince Ji also understand military affairs?" Tang Jian asked. He only knew that Li Shen would make money.
"The guards of the palace are all trained according to Li Shen's methods. There are still more than 2,000 people in the city who have not been caught. Li Shen should know something about it," Li Shimin replied. My son understands military matters and is something to be proud of.
"King Ji is a great talent." Li Jing thought for a while and then came up with the key point. The War God of the Tang Dynasty is not called the God of War for nothing. After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Jing
"Your Majesty, these three thousand people are now trained by King Ji. Think about it, what if this is a real thief. They won't catch so many people without warning. Then the three thousand people will disperse. Come and attack everyone here.
Judging from the current situation, these 3,000 people should be elites. If I arrange it, a team of 200 people will be divided into fifteen teams to wait for the opportunity. Targeting the generals of the Ministry of War to assassinate.
When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will have no soldiers but no generals. If the enemy's army presses on the territory at this time, it will be impossible to defeat the enemy. I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous, and by then His Majesty may have to personally drive and conquer. "After Li Jing analyzed the actions of these three thousand people to everyone, everyone shuddered. Even Li Shimin felt that he should not agree to Li Shen's assessment in Chang'an City.
"Someone is here to recruit King Ji into the palace. Also call the prince." Li Shimin had to ask Li Shen carefully.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. King Guan Ji does not look like someone who has done something treacherous and unethical." Changsun Wuji said.
"I came to him because I wanted to hear some of his ideas. You may not know that my tenth son has some ideas that I find novel, and he has some unique insights. You might as well listen to them during this assessment. He explained it to his beloved ones." Li Shimin explained.
"I never expected that Prince Ji would be so familiar with military matters at such a young age. In time, he might be able to become another general of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ji, Minister of War, sighed.
