Chapter 299 Li Shimin's intention
Li Shimin is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and has a variety of skills. He has a skill in calligraphy and painting. The chessboard is simple but lifelike, and is very vivid and realistic. He has set up the boundaries of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
From time to time, Luo Shixin would also look through the territory map of the Tang Dynasty to learn about the situation of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
You can see at a glance what the place represents. Judging from the situation on the map, the Turks are bounded by Jinshan in the west, and the east is next to the Liaodong area of Goguryeo. However, due to the abundant water and grass, most of the Turks are distributed in the south, while the Tiel tribes are in the north. To put it in detail, it is like the rooster in China and the place in Mongolia on the back of the chicken.
Li Shimin guarded Lingzhou with Li Jing and Daizhou with Li Shiji, which almost showed a situation of attacking east and west...
Looking at the map placed on the chessboard, perhaps Li Shimin had the idea of attacking the east and west.
really!
Li Shimin took out two pieces to replace Li Jing, and Li Shiji said: "This Turkic dominate the grassland for many years and has a very broad territory. It is not easy to make a decision if you want to fight. I plan to divide my troops and attack the Turks from Lingzhou from west to east, and Li Shiji from Daizhou from east to west... and then form an alliance with a tribe on the grassland to block the northern part of the Turks in case they let them escape deep in the north."
"Then why don't we divide the troops into three groups?" Luo Shixin asked curiously, and took a chess piece from the chessboard and placed it in the direction of Qingzhou, saying: "When we sent troops, the yaoshi Duke went from Lingzhou to the east, General Li Shiji went out of Yanmen Pass to the east, and then went out of Qingzhou Shuofang from south to north. The three groups of troops advanced. Then, with an allies on the northern grassland, they formed a four-sided encirclement, keeping the Turks into turtles in the jar, which was called Tiantian and unswerving. It was called Earth and Earth not working."
Li Shimin laughed and said, "Heroes have similar views, so I have this intention. General, what is our purpose? Isn't it the economy! The turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the vitality of the Central Plains was severely damaged, and it was too severe to recover for a while. At this time when everything was in trouble, a foreign war rashly launched a long-term foreign war. The consumption and consumption will damage the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and increase the burden on the people. But in the current situation, we must not stop fighting. What should we do?" He compared his hand on the chessboard.
After a while, he asked and answered: "Fast battle and quick decision, use the shortest time, the fastest method, and the strongest efficiency. Eliminate the Turks in a very short time and destroy the Turks. This will also reduce the burden on us by war. Therefore, in this battle, our Tang Dynasty will attack with the strongest posture, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and scattering the Turks. Our Tang Dynasty is cloudy, but the three best people are Li Jing, Li Shiji and you, General."
Luo Shixin finally understood what Li Shimin meant, "Your Highness the Crown Prince said, let me be responsible for the army from south to north?"
"Not bad!" Li Shimin's eyes were bright and nodded, "Li Jing was good at using troops and attacking strangely. He was good at planning and calculating. Li Shiji was experienced and flexible in using troops and was good at taking advantage of loopholes. The general was good at fighting tough battles. Apart from the general, I believe that it is difficult to find a second person in the world who dared to fight the Turks with 20,000 infantry head-on and defeat the Turks. The commander of the army along the frontier was based on my thoughts. Therefore, I wanted to transfer the general to be the governor of Qingzhou, accept the position of Yang Wengan, take charge of the military of the seven prefectures, and guard the northern border. Like Li Jing and Li Shiji, when they were guarding, they sent people to go deep into the Turkic territory to investigate the Turkic situation and understand the Turkic dynamics, so that they could take down the Turkic in the shortest time and the fastest way in the future."
"Oh!" Li Shimin said this and couldn't help but sigh: "I know that such a decision is a bit unkind, but I have discussed it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and they all agreed that the general is the best candidate."
Luo Shixin was silent after hearing this. Pingyang was in a high position. Li Shimin was promoted to crown prince. Li Yuanji disappeared because of him. Now she is the number one general of the Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to follow him to Qingzhou to take office. This newly married man is really cruel and reluctant to leave. The same goes for Zheng Liwan...
In this life, we always encounter some dilemma. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. This is all.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Shixin's eyes became firm and said, "Thank you to the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, I am willing to take the important task as soon as possible. I just don't know when the appointment will come..."
Li Shimin patted Luo Shixin's shoulder vigorously and said, "I knew that the general was concerned about the world and would not refuse. It would take about two or three months later. I haven't mentioned this to my father yet. It's just a budget... I'm not so inhumane, I'll break you up if I'm newly married. My third sister has a very strong prejudice against me. I'm rashly breaking you apart. It would be strange if I don't peel and get cramps."
Luo Shi had at least two or three months left in Da'an, and the honeymoon period was long enough. As a great man, he should shoulder the responsibility as much as he could. Now he has reached this point, facing the Turks... he should do his best.
After hearing Li Shimin talk about his relationship with Pingyang, Luo Shixin couldn't help but say, "Pingyang is strong and can't accept it for a while. If there is any inappropriateness, your highness will take care of it."
Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, this general. Even if you are her husband, you may not know her more than me. She is only one year older than me. We grew up together. We like military tactics, riding and shooting, and we can play together. I can't understand her thoughts and mentality anymore. It's because I have the best relationship with her between brothers and sisters, and she can't accept it for a while, and I won't care."
Luo Shixin stopped talking, suddenly thought of something and asked, "I wonder, how much is Your Highness doing now in Tuli's transaction?"
Li Shimin replied: "It's very good. They fought very well and their consumption in all aspects was beyond imagination. Tuli used salt and iron equipment to buy and win over the tribe and he was side by side, and often he had to pay tens of thousands of dollars. We do not trade money, but we all exchange cattle and horses. Enough oxen can drive agriculture, and the huge consumption of weapons is also very beneficial to the smelting industry."
Luo Shixin smiled and showed his fox's tail, saying, "This, Modao Formation is certainly a powerful weapon to defeat the Turkic cavalry. However, deep into the heart of the Turkic region, the slow mobility of the Modao Formation will be exponentially magnified, which is not conducive to combat on the grassland. This... Your Highness, since our Tang Dynasty now has the source of war horses, the Hequ Army Horse Farm has now achieved great results after long-term investment. Look at this... Can the war horses be overdrawn a lot? In this way, after two or three years of training, when attacking the Turks, they can also exert their strength?"
