"Your Majesty, since we can't make a decision now, should we discuss it after the battle with the Zhou army?" Zhennan Jiedu envoy Song Qiqiu was ordered to return to the court to discuss countermeasures and was appointed Hanlin. After accepting the order, he reported to Emperor Li Jing Jianyan said.
"Okay! According to my decree, Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Shenwu Army, is appointed as the northern camp commander and stationed in Shouzhou; Fenghua Jiedushi and Tongping Zhangshi Huangfuhui are appointed as the northern camp support envoy; Changzhou regiment training envoy Yao Feng is the support commander. , garrison troops in Dingyuan; Yin Chongyi, the Minister of Hubu, is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and is also in charge of the Privy Council."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yu Le has been in a good mood recently, playing leisurely and contentedly with the spring at home, because he returned to Lushan a while ago, and there is another baby in the family. Dugu Ranran gave birth to a boy, named Ruijia, and both Zi Yan and Yanran got their wish. After giving birth to two daughters, named Yu Ruixin and Yu Ruiyan, Yu Le is now the father of six boys and three girls. In addition, Fei Rui has to unload the goods, and Leng Yuer's belly is also much bigger. Yu Le stayed at home for more than 20 days and really didn't want to go back to Jinling. Before leaving, the little Nvying insisted on following Yu Le back to Jinling. She said she really wanted to eat Jinling's snacks. This little greedy girl really made Yu Le want to go back to Jinling. It's hard to get away, it feels like it's been on your body every day.
"Sir, the eldest prince is here to see you." Chunyi swayed her hips and led the eldest prince to Yu Le's study.
"Your Highness, when will you return to the capital?" Yu Le was not polite and skipped the red tape.
"Isn't this a discussion about important matters against the Zhou army? That's why I was summoned back by my father."
"Oh, is there any conclusion?"
"Song Qiqiu finished with one sentence. He said that we would discuss it after the battle with the Zhou army. What nonsense. After this battle is over, it is just about victory or defeat. What to do if you win, what to do if you lose, is it difficult? ? These courtiers! They are looking forward and backward, afraid of this and that. In short, few people want to fight. These sour scholars are really weak and have no backbone at all. If the court lets it go, how can it be undefeated!"
"Your Highness, are you here?"
"I want to have a drink with you. I heard that your cooking skills are good, and there is a new baby in the family, so I just want to have a wedding banquet with you, is that okay?"
"Haha, uncle, you're welcome. I'll let Chunyi go buy groceries. Let's drink more tonight."
"Okay, haha, that's exactly what I meant!"
After Chunyi was taken away by Yu Le, the eldest prince Li Hongji confessed his heart to Yu Le, "Sister-in-law! My brother-in-law is here to hear your opinion on this battle. After all, you have also been to the battlefield in person, and you have fought bravely against the enemy. I have listened to my boss and student soldiers talk about the actual combat analysis you talked about in class, and I have really benefited a lot! Brainstorming is right, and so is the post-war summary. We also have it, but it is not as detailed as you think. , everything is clear and logical, and I realized that you are also a military strategist! You have hidden it deeply enough!"
"Brother, what a military strategist you are! He only participated in one war and lost. How shameful! It's okay not to mention it."
"Don't be modest. If you hadn't decisively chosen to break out towards Guizhou, you might not be alive today. Wu Huai'en has a grudge against you. I guess he is still talking about you in the underworld now, haha!"
"Don't scare me! I'm a coward."
"Just pretend! Let's stop pretending it's useless. Tell us what you think."
"Okay, then I will tell you my humble opinion for my uncle's reference. My point of view is that you fight yours and I fight mine. While blocking the enemy head-on, we can open up another battlefield and seize the initiative. We can't Passively beaten. Our national strength of the Tang State has been seriously affected by natural and man-made disasters in recent years, and we are unable to support a major war. Therefore, we have to avoid reality and avoid defeat, and it is best to fight quickly. A protracted war will be a defeat for us! Our national strength It’s not allowed!”
After listening to Yu Le's words, Li Hongji began to think deeply, "You hit yours, and I'll hit mine." It's interesting and original!
"Tell me carefully why you hit yours and I hit mine."
Yu Le knew that Li Hongji had listened, but it was all in vain, this guy was not in power!
"Uncle, now the Zhou army is camped in our Shouzhou area, and its intention to attack Shouzhou is too obvious, so we can take the initiative to attack Haozhou, Sizhou, and Chuzhou on the Huai River (Huaihe River) and enter the Zhou Kingdom. Not only can we contain the Zhou army and make them have some scruples, we will not be passively defensive and be led away by the nose."
"What you said is feasible!" Li Hongji was a proactive and offensive general. He took the initiative to attack the enemy several times when he led his troops. Defense would mean showing weakness and the morale of the troops would also be affected.
"Sister-in-law! Come with me to see your father. Tell him what you said. Maybe you can impress him!"
Yu Le thought, forget it, this is just chatting. If you want to find the emperor, it is much better to go by yourself than to go with you. At least the emperor will not be suspicious.
"Uncle, some things cannot be forced. You should know that even if we go, there is no hope, so forget it! Let's have a good drink tonight!"
"Aren't you worried about the country's subjugation?" Li Hongji was a little anxious, but Yu Le was not nervous at all.
"Brother, do you think our Tang country can be destroyed after this battle?"
Li Hongji was stunned. He had never thought about this.
"What do you mean?"
"Although Zhou Guo's national strength is strong, it has not reached the point where it can devour us in one go. He will slowly try to figure it out. If he wants to fight with us quickly, and on the premise that we don't make any major mistakes, he will have to hurt us a thousand times." It is impossible for him to do this if he has to die for eight hundred years. He has Liao and Han to the north, and Shu to the southwest, which is a dead and not dead insect, which makes him have some scruples. So, uncle, we should do a good job for the long term. Prepare."
Li Hongji was completely impressed by Yu Le. This guy's analysis was thorough and in place. That's really what happened! hey-hey!
Yu Le's analysis swept away Li Hongji's gloom, and he finally had a smile on his face. At this time, spring also came back, and Yu Le started his cooking performance. After the eldest prince saw Yu Le's cooking skills, he was full of praise!
"Gao Lian, what did the boss do to find Yu Le?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is going to drink the wedding wine of the consort, because the consort has a new baby in his family."
"Hehe, yes! I have another granddaughter. Zi Yan is really a blessed person. Yu Le has a good life!"
"Isn't it! The princess has given birth to two boys and one girl now and they are both in good health. What a blessing for the royal family!"
"Has the reward arrived?"
"Here we are, Your Majesty. We've been here a long time ago. Your Highness the Princess even replied to the message. Thank you for your kindness!"
"I like this girl the most. Marrying Yu Le is a good match. Yu Le is also very good to her. That's enough."
"Yes! The princess and the consort are such a perfect match!"
"Hmph! My Zi Yan is the best."
"Yes, His Majesty said so."
"Do you know what the elder and Yu Le talked about?"
"This old slave really doesn't know."
"These two kids can only talk about military affairs together. The older one is so good at military affairs!"
