Tai Chi Palace West Hall Garden.

Luo Shixin came here once. After Li Yuan fell ill due to the disappearance of Li Yuanji, he came to visit Li Yuan with Pingyang. Li Yuan met them in this garden.

Li Shimin called him here, but he didn't know what was important.

Luo Shi was suspicious of his confidence. The current situation was not better for Li Shimin. What else could he help?

Li Shimin came to the pavilion where Li Yuan rested last time, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the strange rockery in the distance, and said, "What do the general think about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty?"

"No!" Luo Shixin shook his head straightforwardly and said, "The situation is great now, everything is facing our Tang Dynasty, and everything goes smoothly. No matter how good the situation is, what else can you think?" He was really curious. Now history has completely changed under his overcontrol. The famous Xuanwu Gate Incident did not happen in the future. Li Shimin became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty two years ahead of schedule. Li Jiancheng also survived because of his relationship.

Of course none of these are the most important.

The key is the Turks. Because of his existence, the Turkic Khan Jie Li was repeatedly frustrated, and his prestige was not as good as before. Not long ago, Li Shimin instigated the internal struggle between Jie Li and Tuli, causing the division of the Turks.

The current situation is a hundred times better than the historical situation. There is no need to worry about the civil strife between the Qin King Party and the Crown Prince, nor do I have to worry about the Turkic army coming to Chang'an and writing down the shame of the Wei River.

Luo Shixin is extremely satisfied with the current situation, as a future generation, and is Li Shimin not satisfied as a person of this era?

"Yes. The situation is really good." Li Shimin was extremely satisfied with Luo Shixin's answer and nodded heavily, "The General was like my lucky star, and he was the general's success. Everything became extremely natural. Many things happened naturally. It was too fast, too suddenly and too smooth, so many things were caught off guard."

Luo Shixin thought about it carefully and it was true.

Even the initiator of the whole thing could not have expected all this. It was already amazing that Li Shimin was able to make use of everything he could in a short period of time.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "I thought I would have to rest for six or seven years, and my Tang Dynasty would have enough strength to go deep into the grassland to fight the Turks. Judging from the current situation, it would be no more than three or four years at the latest. My Tang Dynasty would definitely compete with the Turks, and what I was upset to me is here."

Three or four years!

Luo Shixin estimated that it was almost the same. In history, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the ninth year of Wude. The Turkic Jie Li took advantage of the turmoil of Li Jiancheng and the northern defense line set up by Li Jiancheng, and tens of thousands of troops broke through the border defense line in one fell swoop. The troops arrived at Chang'an. Li Shimin had to set up a alliance with the Turkic bridge. He was ashamed and eventually divided Tuli Jie Li and destroyed the Turkic in one fell swoop in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

"This should be a good thing!" Luo Shixin was unable to understand Li Shimin's thoughts for a while.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "This is a three or four years less development, three or four years ahead of it, which may not be all good. Can the general know why Qin can unify the six kingdoms, and why can Emperor Wu of Han expel the Huns and achieve great achievements?"

"I think they are talented and have enough ambitions." Luo Shixin replied without hesitation.

"This is one of them!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The real key lies in the economy... After Shang Yang's reforms, Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen, Qin Wuwang, and Qin Zhaoxiang were outstanding emperors for four generations in a row. Later, Qin Xiaowen and Qin Zhuangxiang were indeed mediocre people. However, the rise of Lu Buwei made Qin steady as a strong country. On the other hand, the six countries in the Central Plains were intrigues and intrigues with each other. When Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne, Qin's national strength could be the six countries. Which country could have taken out 600,000 troops at every turn? Attacked Zhao twice, Li Mu defeated Qin's soldiers twice and annihilated tens of thousands of Qin soldiers. Such large-scale killing could not touch the muscles and bones of Qin. The strength of Qin was at that time, which country could not be used as a six-nine country."

"As for Emperor Wu of Han, the same was true for the Han Dynasty. Through the rest and recuperation of the two emperors Wen and Jing for forty years, historical records show that "if it is not a disaster of floods and droughts, the people will give their families enough, and the whole house is full, and the remaining goods and wealth in the treasury are abundant. The capital's money is huge, but it cannot be sank; the millet in Taicang is filled with Chenchen, and the dew is accumulated outside, and it cannot be eaten." When Li Shimin said here, he was full of envy and even a little jealousy: "Even if Emperor Wu of Han had the huge capital left by Wen Jing, Emperor Wu of Han fought for years, which made the sea

The internal waste, the population is reduced by half, and the war consumes the most national and financial resources. This is too smooth, a few years ahead of the original plan, which caught me off guard. This was the mistake of the previous car and the lesson of the later car. With the lesson of Emperor Wu of Han, how can we re-embark on their way? The demise of the previous dynasty was mostly due to the three expeditions of Goguryeo. In my opinion, the Turks would not fight at all. If they wanted to fight, they would decide to fight and directly resolve the problem. Repeated conquests and confrontations would only hurt national strength and trap the entire country."

Luo Shixin suddenly realized when he heard this. In the Zhenguan period, the Tang army believed in this way of fighting to destroy the Turks, defeat Tuyuhun, pacify Gaochang, determine Huihe, Yanqi, Kucha and other countries. They were all determined in one battle without any hesitation. The only one who did not succeed was Goguryeo. In that battle, the Tang army first recovered Liaodong and conquered Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang Shicheng, migrated to Liao, Gai and Yan's households in China for 70,000. Xincheng, Jian'an and stationed in three battles, beheaded more than 40,000. However, the Tang army had only two thousand soldiers killed, but due to climate problems, the city of Anshi lost 70,000 to 80,000, and had to choose to withdraw their troops.

According to the principle, this battle was undefeated because the attacking party chose to withdraw its troops when it gained a certain advantage. However, Li Shimin regarded this battle as a major failure, obviously because it did not win Goguryeo in one fell swoop, which was inconsistent with his strategic goals and was regarded as a failure.

Luo Shixin gradually understood what Li Shimin meant and asked: "Are your Highness the Crown Prince worried that the situation would develop too quickly? Before our Tang Dynasty economy recovered, the Turks could not support it?"

Li Shimin's eyes showed a look of praise, and he was worthy of being the one he liked. The gains and losses were discussed by him, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Xue Shou and Chu Liang. Luo Shixin could remind him to understand it at the first time. It was indeed not simple, and he was indeed the most suitable candidate. He nodded and said, "Yes, now we are no longer worried that the Turks will not be able to make trouble, but that the Turks will decline too quickly. From the news from the grassland, it can be seen that Jie Li and Tuli have almost red eyes, grab cattle and sheep, grab grass, grab water, grab territory, as long as they can compete for the victory or defeat. Because their inner world

In chaos, more than a dozen tribes including Xueyantuo and Uighur in the north of the desert have canceled their tribute to the Turks. The Wu tribe even directly sent people to contact our Tang Dynasty, with the intention of getting the protection of our Tang Dynasty. The strong prey on the grasslands and the fittest survive. Everyone saw the defeat of the Turks. There are definitely no few who intend to fish in the muddy waters. If we do not take it, the Turks must have other tribes on the grasslands eroded. In this way, we will not easily destroy a tiger and feed dozens of wolves. In order to reduce the casualties of our Tang Dynasty, I can allow the tribes of Xueyantuo and Uighur to get a share, but the Turks must be destroyed, and the fat piece of Turks must be eaten by our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin said in his final tone, he was determined, domineering, and unquestionable.

Luo Shixin's expression subsided, which was also the reason why he chose Li Shimin but not Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng's methods were soft. If he was an emperor, he could become a wise monarch of Wen Jing, but he would definitely not be able to become an eternal emperor with outstanding achievements such as Qin Emperor and Han Wu. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. Our Tang Dynasty's plots are hard to say, just to eat this piece of meat. If he tried his best to let others take the meat away, wouldn't it be a joke to the world?"

Li Shimin said: "But Yang Guang was not good at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The harm caused to the world was too great. Do you know that some time ago, when I counted the household registration of the Tang Dynasty, how many left in the whole world is there? According to historical records, in the fifth year of Daye, there were 890 million households and more than 46 million people. Some time ago, we counted only 2 million households. The population in the world almost dropped by 70%, and the population was less than 40 million. The population is priceless and manpower is priceless. How easy is it to develop? Just give me such a few people, and in just a few years, how can I develop it? Now it can basically be concluded that when the Turks were at its weakest, the economy of my Tang Dynasty was still a little worse, and rashly launching large-scale foreign wars would hurt the country's roots. So, when I think about it, I really envy Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han. Their starting point is much better than mine."

Luo Shixin had no choice but to hesitate for a while, and said, "You can't watch the flesh in your mouth fly like this, right?"

"Not that!" Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and said, "If there is no way, just find a way to solve it! People can't force the situation to death, right? So I arranged for Li Jing to be in Lingzhou and Li Shiji to be in Daizhou. From now on, I will monitor the Turks' every move in the two places, and train troops in the local area, and prepare to attack the Turks anytime and anywhere."

Luo Shixin always thought that Li Shimin's recent military changes were to prevent the Turkic invasion and ensure the peace of the border. It turned out that he had thought of the step of attacking the Turkic in the future.

"I'm one person now..." Li Shimin looked at Luo Shixin with a bright look. He strode to the stone table in the pavilion. The stone table was carved with natural chessboards, and black and white chess pieces were placed around it. He cleanly replaced the Turks and white chess, and set up a simple map.
