Xue Rengui said: "I want to go to Taizhou this time. I will send troops from Taizhou and take ships directly to the Japanese country, and ask the soldiers to destroy the Japanese defense! Capture the emperor! Make the Japanese country unsustainable, and finally the crisis in the northeast will be lifted!"
A few words from Xue Rengui.
Li Shimin was shocked.
Why? Because the thinking is very clear!
I really didn't expect that Xue Rengui thought so.
He sighed: "This combat strategy is really feasible, that's great! Why haven't I thought about it before? Why haven't I thought about starting from the seaside before? You know, Japanese pirates are also in the ocean!"
Yes, Li Shimin never thought about it before. He just defended blindly and did not take the initiative to attack. Although there is heavy snow in the north, there is no ice and snow in the south.
If we had set out by land, we would have taken a boat from the south and then attacked Japan.
When they get there, the Japanese will inevitably send their troops back, and when they send their troops back. Then the alliances they established with countries such as Goguryeo and Baekje will collapse.
If their alliance collapses, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Datang.
Datang could even take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
Go directly to the northeast and occupy Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries.
Finally, all these countries were occupied. Teach them a lesson! See if they still dare to mess around.
In fact, at that time
Therefore, Li Shimin was in a good mood.
And very proud, because of Xue Rengui! The more he looked at Xue Rengui, the more satisfied he became!
"Xue Rengui, I am so lucky to have you as a general!"
This is the greatest affirmation for Xue Rengui.
But Xue Rengui did not dare to enjoy this honor alone.
That's what Li Min thought of.
But he said it himself.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
If he doesn't say it himself, Li Min can't even say it.
As soon as he said that, Li Shimin was afraid that he would have random thoughts. ''
Therefore, there is nothing we can do about these things.
Take it, Li Min may have a plan, and he can't say it, otherwise it will ruin his plan!
So, he said: "Your Majesty, I am just doing what I should do as a courtier. It is what a man should do! It is my honor that I can solve your majesty's troubles and serve the people of the world."
"Very good, very good! You are a good kid. You actually know how to be modest and know how to work hard for the Tang Dynasty. This makes me very happy! I will definitely not treat you badly! You will share the prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty!"
Then, Li Shimin said: "But it is too little for you to go alone. This is not in line with the duties of a consort at all, and it will also let outsiders see that there is no one in my Tang Dynasty! Therefore, I promise you ten The general and three thousand soldiers and horses are with you. If it's not enough, just say it directly, it's okay! I will definitely satisfy you!"
Li Shimin wants ten generals to join 3,000 people?
That general must be a man of great strength. Soldiers must be a powerful army!
Although this is a good thing, Xue Rengui cannot be with them.
After all, the more people there are, the more secrets will be exposed. Moreover, these generals can be said to be Li Shimin's spies. How can we let them be together?
Li Lizhi said: "Yes, with the generals together, we feel more at ease."
Xue Rengui definitely refused.
So he said: "Your Majesty, it's not necessary. Having too many people is not good. One person is enough for me, and there is no need to send someone to prevent the news from being leaked. When the time comes, after I arrive in Taizhou, I can let the Taizhou army go to the Japanese country together." Furthermore, the people in Taizhou are all seaside people and are familiar with water properties. However, the generals in Chang'an may lack water properties. When the time comes, it will not be effective, so I think that it is enough for one person to go!"
Xue Rengui seemed to make sense when he said this.
He definitely didn't dare to say it was with Li Min, because he was afraid that Li Shimin would overthink it.
Li Shimin has no solution.
"Then let's do this. Since you don't want to, then I will allow you to have a hundred Xuanjia troops with you! How about letting them protect your safety?"
This is considered a step back for Li Shimin.
Speaking of the Xuanjia Army, that was the forbidden army when Li Shimin was the King of Qin.
It still exists and it is a strong army.
The total number of this army is only 3,500.
This army was the key to Li Shimin's ability to defeat Dou Jiande's army of hundreds of thousands with thousands of troops in the Battle of Hulao Pass.
This army was Li Shimin's biggest support when he later launched the Xuanwumen Revolution!
All this time, he would not use this army.
But it's different now.
Because today was different, he brought out the Xuanjia Army.
Li Lizhi followed behind and said, "Yes, just promise your father that the Xuanjia Army can keep you safe. My child and I are waiting for your return!"
With the protection of these Xuanjia troops, Xue Rengui must be safe.
Finally, he agreed.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin nodded happily.
asked again.
"Then when are you going to leave?"
"Depart on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. When the time comes, take the train to Taizhou!"
"Train? Is the train open now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's approved, but it's still under trial operation. I should be able to go!"
"Is this so? This is too fast. I didn't expect the train to open to traffic. Looking back, I have to find time to experience it and see the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with some yearning.
Then, he said: "Okay, I'm very happy today, come here! Bring me some wine! I want to have a few drinks with you!"
After that, someone went to get the wine.
Li Lizhi said: "Father, you are still taking medicine and cannot drink alcohol!"
"If I don't drink today, how can I prove that I am happy? I have already seen the moment when the Tang army won!"
Li Shimin said very excitedly.
Waiting for someone to get the wine.
Li Shimin asked again: "What reward do you want when things are done? You can tell me directly now! I can satisfy you!"
"I don't want any reward, I just want to be reunited with my mother!"
Li Shimin heard this.
"Where is your mother now?"
"In the minister's house!"
"Let her enter the Daming Palace, and I will entertain her well!"
After he finished, he said: "Come here! Let's have a big banquet! I want to entertain the distinguished guests well!"
As a result, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed.
Doing this would probably make Mrs. Xue at a loss.
But Li Shimin has this kind of temper, what can he do?
I have no choice but to live like this.
"Okay, Rengui, go and invite your mother to come to the palace. I want to entertain her well. By the way, please come and ask the Queen and Concubine Yang to come back!"
"yes!"
The whole palace became lively.
Then, Xue Rengui and Li Lizhi left the Daming Palace to invite Mrs. Xue.
But as soon as he walked out, Li Lizhi questioned Xue Rengui.
I'm afraid I can't hide some things.
