Of course, for Li Shimin, the impulse to go back to the battlefield and charge in battle is just a matter of rationality: the young Qin king, who was fierce and powerful in the past, was criticized for being ahead of every battle. As the emperor and the king of the country, there was no possibility of charging in battle. Moreover, this double-line battle is indeed a great challenge to the current economy of the Tang Dynasty. The importance of stability in the rear is no less than that of Li Jing and Luo Shixin and others on the front line.

The food, drink and call of nearly 200,000 troops from the two armies was a considerable expense. For this reason, Li Shimin tried every means to raise funds for food and grass for dispatch.

Fortunately, the sky is beautiful. In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty was in good weather, and there were no floods or droughts, and there were bumper harvests everywhere. The food and grass collected could still cope with the dispatch and not fall into a state of no food. As for the money, he tried his best to collect it. For this reason, the emperor even personally met Zheng Fengchi, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and raised a lot of money from him.

"Secretary Fang, Du, who do you think Liaodong should send to govern it more properly?" Li Shimin just received a 800-mile rush from Luo Shixin and learned about the potential troubles of Liaodong and the reasons why he did not advance in time. Liaodong is a territory of China. Although it is relatively remote and poor, the son does not despise the mother, and the dog does not despise the family. It is also China's territory. There is no reason to despise it.

Fang Xuanling said: "Ministers believe that the Duke of Yixing County is the most suitable."

"Uncle, he is indeed a personal choice! But he just returned from Shu⊕★Chang⊕★Feng⊕★Wen⊕★Wen⊕★Study,.c♀fwx., and asked him to go to Liaodong to take charge, which was really inappropriate!" Li Shimin nodded with approval. The uncle he mentioned was Empress Changsun’s uncle Gao Shilian. He was the first person to see Li Shimin’s talent and strategy. He matched Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, a marriage that was a good match for all ages, and was also a member of the Qin King Party. The Xuanwu Gate Incident in history. Because of the insufficient troops in Li Shimin, he borrowed his position to send prisoners in custody, and sent them weapons, and rushed to Fanglin Gate with them to cooperate with Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Therefore, he achieved great achievements and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

However, because of Luo Shixin's existence, Li Shimin decided to win early in the morning. Many people who made great contributions due to the Xuanwu Gate Incident did not obtain the merit of following the Dragon, and so was Gao Shilian.

However, as one of his most trusted confidants, Gao Shilian was still valued and sent Li Shimin to Shu as the chief of the governor of Yizhou.

Li Jiancheng was transferred to Shu and was named King of Shu. One of Li Shimin's most trusted confidants was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Great Governor's Office in Yizhou. The connection between this is self-evident.

Li Shimin has the cold blood and ruthlessness of a generation of kings. After winning, he won, without a definite victory and would not give Li Jiancheng any chance or possibility to counterattack. He knew his elder brother's outstanding political ability. Even if Shu is located in a corner, he would not want to see a country within a country that he controls in the future.

Gao Shilian's main task is to monitor Li Jiancheng. Of course, he must also fulfill his power as the chief of the Grand Governor's Office. Don't underestimate the position of Chief of the Grand Governor's Office. In the Tang Dynasty, most of the position of Chief of the Grand Governor's Office was taken from afar by the prince. Regardless of any position in the Grand Governor's Office, all administrations are handled by the Chief of the Grand Governor's Office. In other words, Gao Shilian is the first in charge of the administrative leadership in Yizhou.

At that time, the folk customs in Shu were frivolous and many remote places were superstitious about ghosts and gods and were afraid of ghosts and monsters and hated patients. Even if he was sick, he did not dare to serve in front of the bed, but carried food to them with sticks from afar. Gao Shilian learned about this situation and induced the customs to change. At the same time, he dug a new canal outside the Wenjiang River dredged by Li Bing in the Qin Dynasty, allowing the people of Shu to make great profits. In addition, he used his spare time to organize a meeting of poetry, prose and essays, allowing Confucian scholars to discuss Confucian classics, encourage young students, and so that Shu was prosperous to run schools, governing the Western Shu area in an orderly manner, and allowing Shu to be well-managed.

Now that Li Shimin has ascended the throne and has firmly settled in the Li Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the general trend is coming, and everyone is in love with me. So I transferred Gao Shilian back to Chang'an to listen and understand that my father is old and he also allowed Li Jiancheng to return to Chang'an to visit him.

This Shu area is not easy to manage. Gao Shilian was able to do such an excellent job, and his ability can be seen as average. The situation in Liaodong is worse than that in Shu area. Gao Shilian has experience in governing Shu area and should be very adept at governing Liaodong.

Li Shimin also knew that Gao Shilian was a suitable candidate, but his brother-in-law helped him too much, but he had not enjoyed it well. He originally planned to transfer him back to Chang'an and let him serve as prime minister, and achieve the highest dream of a civil servant: to be appointed as a marquis and to let him govern Liaodong. This idea naturally failed and I felt a little sorry for him.

"The capable ones work harder!" Du Ruhui nodded and said, "The Duke of Yixing County is the best choice. At this time, sending people to Liaodong is not only governing, but also cooperating with the Grand General to conquer Goguryeo, and even a decisive battle with Baekje Yamato. There is indeed more than one candidate to govern Liaodong, but it is the best choice to cooperate with the Grand General to use troops. If you really have some concerns, your Majesty can send ministers or ministers of the House, and Lord Wei will go, and Ma Zhou is also a choice, but his official position is too low and it is not enough to take over the power of Liaodong."

Li Shimin was speechless. Now the Tang Dynasty is at a critical moment. The importance of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng is self-evident. He cannot do without these talents in governing the world. He nodded and said, "I understand, let my uncle go to Liaodong. With him here, I feel at ease."

"I think we should increase troops to the Grand Chief Executive appropriately. The east road is not as good as the west road. The west road army does not have a decent city, so we are not afraid of intercepting the rear road, so we can always hold the military power in our hands. The east road is different. The terrain over there is dangerous, and each city has certain strategic significance. Every time the Grand Chief Executive captures a city, it is necessary to send troops to stay. Especially for a strong city like Liaodong, this is even more so. The more cities you capture, there are not many real soldiers and horses in his hands." Fang Xuanling said as he was embarrassed and boasted: "The Grand Chief Executive becomes more mature and powerful. He cannot not know what he is facing, but he did not ask for troops from me. Obviously he also understands the dilemma facing the Tang Dynasty. He would rather make things difficult for himself than to make things difficult for us, but we should not make things difficult for him. If he does not give him enough troops, let him conquer the city?"

Li Shimin said: "I have considered this... I have already considered it. Let Qiheli lead the Tiel cavalry to support the Eastern Route Army. What do you think?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other. As prime ministers, they knew very well the recent situation of the Tang Dynasty. The nearly 200,000 troops on the left and right sides were a limit for the current Tang Dynasty to mobilize troops. If this limit is ignored and forced recruitment will affect the cultivation of the fields and the livelihood of the country, which will cause the general situation that Yang Guang faced in the past.

This is the act of fishing out of the lake. The demise of the Sui Dynasty lies in this way, the transitional conscription and the transitional abuse of people's power.

"Good, good! But... I don't know if there is any problem with loyalty?" Fang Xuanling said hesitantly. Li Shimin's Tian Khan was the Khan of the entire northern grassland. He had the right to go to the appointment of the Tian Khan and called the grassland troops to fight for him. The power given by this was not in vain, and Li Shimin would naturally not be polite. In Li Jing's western army, there was a Turkic cavalry team led by Asuna Sheer who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Qie Heli was a member of the Tiele tribe of the Tiele tribe from the Tiele Khan family. He was the grandson of Ge Lunyi Wushuang Mohe Khan and the son of Mohedutle Chiege. Not long before the New Year, Qie Heli led his people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin appointed him as the general of the left leadership.

Compared with Asansell, who had already returned to his heart, Chiba Heli had not been able to surrender for a long time, and loyalty still needs to be tested.

Li Shimin stood up and said, "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people! I treat General Qiezi with sincerity, and General Qiezi will not let me down. I believe General Qiezi..."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui no longer persuaded him. In terms of identifying and employing people, they knew very clearly the gap between themselves and Li Shimin. What Li Shimin is really powerful is not his literary and martial arts, but his ability to turn enemies into his most loyal and hard-core confidants.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no need to worry about the military General Qibi. There is also a suitable candidate for the governance of Liaodong. There should be a stable rear. There is no need to worry about food. The general manager is a lucky star, knowing that we are short of food. More than 600,000 stones of grain were seized from the two strong cities of Gaimu and Liaodong in one breath, which was enough for their army to eat for a year. This year, there is no need to worry about the army's food, which really solves our urgent needs."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui laughed one after another.

Fang Xuanling said: "Goguryeo has no other strengths. The only special thing is that it can defend it. They made full preparations to face the siege of our army, and it is reasonable to have sufficient food. But they did not expect that the Chief Executive is so fierce that the food they have stored is cheaper than our army."

They couldn't help laughing. Luo Shixin had enough food on the front line, which meant that they did not need to transport grain thousands of miles. The manpower, material and financial resources spent on the back and forth of the army on the front line was no less than the consumption of the army on the front line. The savings were enough to make the big men who were worried about money and food laughed out loud in their dreams.

"The problem of the Eastern Route Army is basically solved. Next, it depends on the performance of the Grand Chief!" Li Shimin said here, and his expression became a little worried: "The food and grass of the Western Route Army must be prepared properly. The deeper their army goes into the hinterland of Tuyuhun, the more unsafe the food channels. In any case, we must ensure that the soldiers who fought to the death on the front line of our Tang Dynasty will not worry about food and clothing. As for Hou Junji, please pay more attention. If there is any news, you will repay them immediately."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took the order unanimously.

Faced with the proposal of the vast majority of generals to retreat, Li Jing of the Western Route Army insisted on taking Hou Junji's continued advance and divided his troops to pursue the remnants of Tuyuhun. Among them, the southern army led by Hou Junji had completely lost the news and had no news at all. (To be continued...)
