As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Hou Junji and other generals also spoke out one after another.
"I second the proposal..."
"I second the proposal..."
"I invite you to fight..."
…
Above the main hall, the crowd was raging.
Even Wei Zheng, who had always opposed sending troops, fell silent.
There is no way, this opportunity is really great!
One can only choose the lesser of two evils.
Facing everything, Li Shimin seemed to have heard nothing. At this time, the only thing that was rumbling in his mind was the words that Prince Anlin said before he fell drunk.
"Only idiots like Li Er and Du Ruhui can do this..."
Who is this Wang Zian!
Even though he was proficient in the techniques of the Mohists and farmers, he was actually able to see into the subtleties, predict the enemy's plans first, and even predict the reactions of himself and Du Ruhui accurately!
If you can't keep this kind of person in your pocket...
He couldn't help but feel a little sweaty.
He has a thorough understanding of human nature. This young man is really terrifying!
Secretly make up your mind!
You must win this person over at all costs.
"His Majesty--"
"His Majesty……"
…
"ah--"
Seeing that Li Shimin refused to speak for a long time, everyone couldn't help but call out. Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses. Looking at the excited civil and military ministers in the hall, I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered what Wang Zi'an said last night.
"Injure the enemy a thousand times and injure yourself eight hundred. Only fools like Li Er and Du Ruhui would do this..."
"I know how to fight. Fighting is the worst method of last resort. A mere Turk can be wiped out with a wave of his hand. Is there any need to fight..."
Is it worth beating?
Is it worth beating?
…
This sentence became louder and louder in his mind, and the words that asked him to send troops to Mobei rolled around his mouth a few times, and then swallowed them subconsciously.
Could it be that that boy really has a good strategy to pacify Mobei without fighting?
Although I subconsciously rejected this possibility, I don't know why, but I still can't help but think about it.
"Let's discuss this matter later..."
"Your Majesty, I believe that it is important to have an army quickly and not to delay. I am afraid I will miss the opportunity when Jieli Khan comes to attack. I also ask your Majesty to mobilize manpower first, strengthen border deployment, and make early preparations in case Jieli Khan's army comes. Commit!"
Why has His Majesty become so indecisive?
Li Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, could not help but frown slightly when he heard this. He took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.
Li Shimin nodded slowly when he heard this.
"Li Aiqing's words make sense. He ordered the governor of Bingzhou, the British Duke Xu Shiji, and the governor of Huazhou, Huo Guogong Chai Shao, to prepare their troops, conduct close investigations, and strictly defend. If Jie Li really comes to invade, his army must not be allowed to cross the thunder pool even half a step!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he slowly withdrew his gaze. His voice could not detect any emotion or anger.
"As for whether to send troops, don't be too hasty. After all my dear friends go back, write down a statement first, and then make a decision tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who was silent intentionally or unintentionally. This old guy was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today and didn't even fart. I'm afraid he just believed what that bastard Wang Zi'an said yesterday, right?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at his eyes, his nose, his nose and his heart, like Cheng Yaojin, an old monk in meditation, and spoke softly.
"Cheng Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I believe that we Central Plains soldiers are not used to the severe cold in Mobei. Especially this year, so many Turkic cattle and sheep have frozen to death, not to mention us soldiers?"
As Cheng Yaojin spoke, he turned around and looked at the army commanders Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, and Hou Junji who were leading the battle, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly. Normally, I just listen to these guys point out the situation and inflict pain on myself. Finally, it is my turn to inflict pain on them!
"The weather is so bad. To send troops at this time is to use your own shortcomings to attack others' strengths. If you don't make complete preparations and rush to send troops, I am worried that even if you can win, I am afraid it will be a partial victory."
Cheng Yaojin said, secretly winking at Li Shimin. The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, but Quan pretended not to notice.
Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Hou Junji and others were all veteran generals in the army and the top military strategists of the Tang Dynasty. When they heard Cheng Yaojin's words, they couldn't help but frown slightly and look thoughtful.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and others were all silent, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel even more proud, and his back became a little stiffer.
"Therefore, Wei Chen believes that sending troops at this time may not be the best strategy. It is better to consider it carefully. At least make complete preparations first..."
Go back and ask Mr. Wang if he has any good ideas!
Cheng Yaojin felt that for such a big matter, it would be better to ask Wang Xiaozi for his opinion first.
As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted a surprised look.
This bellicose old man not only did not clamor to send troops, but also advised people to think carefully. Is this still the old man Cheng we know?
How strange!
I guess you have a tacit understanding!
It's not for nothing that you followed me and drank at Wang Zi'an's place!
Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since Cheng Aiqing thinks so too, let's make this decision for now. You Aiqings will think about it carefully after you go back, and come up with a specific charter tomorrow morning..."
I remember that guy said that the Turks can be wiped out with a wave of his hand. It’s not too late to go and listen to what he has to say before making a decision today!
Li Shimin didn't realize it himself. He was always decisive, but he didn't know when he subconsciously wanted to hear Wang Zi'an's opinion whenever something happened.
However, that kid recognizes money but not people, so I need to get some money before going.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin unconsciously glanced at his uncle, Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, who was standing at the forefront of the officials.
The eldest son's family is engaged in salt and iron business. They are extremely rich and everyone knows about it.
…
After the end of the dynasty.
Li Shimin stood up and waved to Changsun Wuji with a smile on his face.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, please stay..."
He called Changsun Wuji who was about to leave. At this moment, he glanced and saw Cheng Yaojin, an old man, smiling like an old fox. He was waving his hands and quickly chased Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda and others. past.
Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, quickly turned his head, pretended not to notice, and directly called Changsun Wuji to leave.
Royal study room.
Li Shimin poured a cup of hot tea for Changsun Wuji with a friendly look on his face.
"I would like to thank your Majesty——"
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, there is no need to be polite. How many times have I told you, call me Erlang when there is no one around..."
Li Shimin took Changsun Wuji's arm affectionately and moved him to the couch aside.
"You and I have been brothers for many years. It is a good thing to call you here today..."
"Your Majesty, please speak..."
There was a flash of light in Changsun Wuji's narrow eyes, and then disappeared, his eyelids lowered and he remained calm.
"Brother auxiliary machine, do you still remember the charcoal I mentioned yesterday?"
Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and asked calmly.
