The invincible momentum of the Tang army finally stopped.

Since the expedition on March 15th, the Tang army successively captured Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang ten cities, and recaptured Liaodong in one fell swoop with a destructive momentum.

Until the city of Anshi!

Li Zhi held a court meeting in Linshuo Palace to discuss major issues of family and country.

Li Yuanai is also qualified to participate with his status as a commissar.

Listening to the confidentiality of state affairs, under the leadership of Li Zhi, Gao Shilian, Liu Yan, and Ma Zhou, Li Yuanai did not express his opinions, but just closed his eyes and rested, wandering outside the sky.

If it weren't for having to participate, Li Yuanai wouldn't bother to come and listen.

The transportation service staff had already made him anxious, so he had no time to manage national affairs.

After the meeting, Li Yuanai was about to leave.

Li Zhi sent an eunuch to call him and asked him to go to the inner hall to discuss matters.

Li Yuanai had no choice but to follow him to the inner hall of Linshuo Palace.

Li Zhi sat upright, Gao Shilian, Liu Yu, and Ma Zhoufen sat left and right.

Seeing Li Yuanai coming, Li Zhi pointed to the mat that he had specially left for him and signaled him to take his seat.

With his status as a king, Li Yuanai easily got into the top three and politely greeted Gao Shilian, Liu Yan and Ma Zhou.

Recently, I have had a lot of contact with the three of them in official business and have gotten along well.

Gao Shilian, Liu Wei, and Ma Zhou also saw Li Yuanai's talent in transferring grain and grass, and looked at him in a different way and responded politely.

"This is the memorial of Minister Chu Suiliang. Please see if you have any objections?"

Li Yuanai was closest to Li Zhi, so he got it first and started watching it first.

This is a letter of advice to persuade Li Shimin to stop.

The book repeatedly emphasizes that it is only necessary to recover the lost territory in Liaodong and to attack the hinterland of Goguryeo, which is completely meaningless.

Li Yuanai looked at the scriptures and scriptures in the text, nodded in agreement, and then handed it to Gao Shilian beside him.

After reading it, Gao Shilian said nothing and gave it to Liu Shi.

Liu Wei did not look closely, but just took a rough look, and gave it to Ma Zhou, saying, "Mr. Chu is really stubborn. Even now he is still trying to persuade Your Majesty. This is a decisive intention!"

His tone was a little mocking.

Liu Shi and Chu Suiliang had no gaps, nor did they have different political views, but the hostility was faintly revealed.

Wei Zheng has passed away. Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are two big bosses who cannot be shaken by thunder. No one can shake their status.

The rising stars are Cen Wenben, Liu Wei, Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang.

Among them, Cen Wenben has the highest status and Ma Zhou is the most favored, but Cen Wenben and Ma Zhou are of this type of talent and no ambition but do not like to compete with others.

Only Liu Shi and Chu Suiliang are extremely talented, have political ambitions, are motivated and motivated.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, the two big men, died of illness or retired for the day, and they all yearned to become prime ministers who ruled all officials.

The Tang Dynasty was a multi-monarchical system, and this was a foregone conclusion compared to Liu Ju and Chu Suiliang.

The Prime Minister and the rule of all officials are the pursuit.

This is how one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Li Yuanai looked at Liu Shi with some surprise.

Liu Wei was so quick-witted that he immediately thought of the reason and said, "The King of Shang was managing the canal at that time and was not aware of it. When His Majesty decided to go to Goguryeo, Mr. Chu advised His Majesty to give up the idea of ​​conquering Goguryeo. He told a lot of great reasons, and finally angered His Majesty. His Majesty directly sent him to inspect the world. I guess Mr. Zhu happened to inspect Youzhou and then got the situation on the front line."

Li Yuanai nodded greatly and understood.

Chu Suiliang's attitude should be the same as Wei Zheng.

They belong to the practical faction and do not think that the bitter, cold and poor Goguryeo is worthy of being attacked by a laborious army.

I feel that it is better to develop the Western Regions than to bully the bitter and cold Goguryeo with this free time.

Consolidate the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road, spread its influence to the West, and benefit the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi looked at Li Yuanai and said, "What do you think of Uncle Sixteen?" His uncle called out extremely awkwardly.

Li Yuanai smiled complacently and felt particularly comfortable. In this formal occasion, he could hear Li Zhi calling him well.

After thinking about it, he said, "To be fair, Mr. Chu's view is not wrong, but it is more convenient for us to develop in the current direction... But I think Mr. Chu has ignored one thing. The enemy should be kept in his infancy. Goguryeo is not worthy of being an enemy of our dynasty. But once he annexed Silla, annexed Baekje, and unified Haidong. At that time, Goguryeo was not worthy of being an enemy of our dynasty?"

"I'm not an exaggeration. Goguryeo took advantage of my weakness in China and occupied Liaodong. Originally, it was just a small country. Because of the benefits of Liaodong, it absorbed Chinese culture and grew up to an enemy that the previous dynasty could not defeat with the power of the whole country. It can be seen that Goguryeo should not be underestimated. Our opponents are not easy. They don't care about him now. When he unifies Haidong and integrates the Northeast, we will have to deal with it, which will be extremely difficult."

Li Yuanai knew very well what kind of opponents this harsh environment in Northeast China could give birth to.

In the small Northeast, a nation that can sweep the Central Plains twice was born, so how can it be underestimated?

"So I think it is imperative to conquer Goguryeo. The current peace in the Western Regions is not a war and can develop at any time. The bandits do not wait for us... The attack on Goguryeo is to prevent it before it happens, and it is definitely not a dispute of will."

Liu Qi stroked his hands and said, "Be careful before it happens, the King of Shang has told the essence of this battle."

Li Zhi looked at Ma Zhou.

Gao Shilian's attitude was very clear, and he was on Li Shimin's side.

Only Ma Zhou has remained neutral before.

Ma Zhou said at this moment: "What the King of Shang said is not without reason. Your Majesty has already set out to fight, so there is still a saying that he will give up halfway? At this moment, when we retreat, what is the face of my Tang Dynasty continuing to command all directions?"

Li Zhi smiled happily and said, "I also think this is the best."

As he said that, he waved his pen and refuted Chu Suiliang's memorial.

Li Yuanai was actually a little nervous at this moment because Li Shimin had already reached the city of Anshi.

The ending of history is vivid. Yang Wanchun from Anshicheng, with his outstanding defensive skills, blocked the pace of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the situation has changed a lot now, Li Yuanai is really not sure whether this history will repeat itself.
