I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 603 Tuyuhun invades Liangzhou again, and Li Jing finally takes command!
Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.

Inside the queen's bedroom.

Li Shimin held his eldest grandson Wugou's palm and rubbed it constantly.

At this moment, the warmth from his wife's palm made him feel extremely at ease.

She is not dead.

This has been very satisfying to him.

"Guanyin maidservant, you need to wake up quickly."

Li Shimin said softly, jokingly said,

"Do you know that now there are hundreds of people serving you every day?"

"Countless people are doing things for you. Haven't you always been simple and don't like extravagance?"

"Then you should wake up quickly..."

The eldest grandson Wugou on the bed lay quietly, without the slightest movement.

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously, and continued talking to himself:

"You...you won't wake up one day when I die, right?"

"I really want to talk to you again... Maid Guanyin, can you promise me a small request?"

"Before I die, you must wake up, even if it's just a day earlier, an hour..."

"In that case, I will die without regret..."

As he spoke, Li Er's nose felt a little sour.

At this moment, a voice came.

"Your Majesty, the servants have come to reply to the order."

Eunuch Gao walked into the courtyard cautiously, stood outside and said respectfully.

"Ah...you're back? Is Ting Ming back too? Where are you?"

Li Shimin raised his head slightly and said casually.

Eunuch Gao looked a little embarrassed.

"Return to Your Majesty, Grand Master...he didn't come back."

He said bravely.

"what?"

Li Shimin raised his eyes and frowned,

"What do you mean?"

Eunuch Gao had no choice but to cup his hands and say:

"Return to Your Majesty, Grand Master...he said...it would be good to be a general."

"Your Majesty opened his mouth, and there is no reason to go back on his word, so he will not return to Chang'an."

Li Shimin's expression darkened immediately upon hearing this.

"What does he mean? Resisting the order and not obeying it?"

Li Er said displeased,
"Is it showing me face?"

Eunuch Gao was silent about it.

"I'm planning to apologize to him, but he insists on doing this! It's really..."

Li Shimin snorted coldly,

"The airs are too big. I really think I can't do without him?! I really won't give him this face this time!"

"ridiculous!"

After finishing these two sentences, he also fell silent, looked sideways, and glanced at Changsun Wugou.

"Hey... alright alright!"

"Guanyin maidservant, if you were here, you would definitely persuade me..."

"Well... you will definitely say that this time it is indeed my fault, because I heard that I was wronged, even if it is coaxing, I have to coax him back, and I have to lower my posture... right?"

"Okay, okay, then I will listen to you..."

Li Er asked and answered for a while, but put down the emperor's figure.

Seeing His Majesty's appearance, Eunuch Gao thought it was funny, but at the same time felt a little sad, so he silently lowered his head.

"I will write a letter to him later, you can arrange for someone to come over!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

"Grand Duke Xu of the Tang Dynasty, if he can't really repair the grave, then the world will say that I am mean and ungrateful!"

Eunuch Gao nodded repeatedly.

"According to the order!"

His Majesty has shown his sincerity this time, and probably wants to write an 'Apology Letter' in his own hand.

"Hey!"

"I am the emperor... It's really hard to be an emperor. You can't lose your temper. If you lose your temper, you have to coax them like children..."

"No way, no way..."

Muttering in his mouth, Li Er patted his butt and got up, found a pen and paper at random, and started writing letters.

"Well...you have to be more sincere and nasty."

"Get it back to him first!"

"..."

Swish swish.

An 'apology letter' written by Li Shimin himself said that if this thing is put in later generations, it will definitely be of extremely high value——

The letter of apology written by the emperor to the minister is so rare!
At this moment, another hurried footsteps came.

"His Majesty!"

"Liangzhou emergency report, the Tuyuhun army has attacked Liangzhou again, this time the loss is huge!"

The imperial guards rushed into the courtyard, and they didn't even have time to salute, so they said directly.

Li Shimin: "?!"

"what?"

"Tuyuhun dares to come to Liangzhou to harass you?!"

Li Er threw the pen away, and his anger rose up!

"Murong Fuyun, son of a bitch, you really think there's nothing I can do about you, don't you?"

"I have hit you all the way to the royal city, and you don't have a long memory, and you dare to harass me! Okay, okay...you asked for it!"

With so many troubles recently, he is full of anger!
At this moment, he is still humble and earnestly writing an apology letter, which makes him very depressed.

I'm already upset, but you're still here to die!
Then this time, you must die!

"It seems that Duan Zhixuan didn't beat them up, he woke them up! I thought I was rough-skinned and thick-skinned!"

"Convene the ministers of state affairs and hold a meeting of the political affairs hall!"

……

After half an hour.

Inside the political hall.

Li Shimin is sitting on the main seat, and all the ministers have arrived!

Only one position was left vacant.

"Your Majesty, Grand Master..."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help asking.

The rest of the ministers all looked at Li Shimin one after another, showing the look of questioning.

They all knew that Xu Fenglei left Chang'an at a speed that no one expected.

Everyone came to their senses and realized...he was severely punished by the emperor!

Not only did he lose his title of title and prince and grand teacher, but he was also demoted ten levels in a row!From a first-rank official to a sixth-rank official!
This shocked everyone!

At the same time, I also want to plead for him...

Many of the ministers present here are old acquaintances of Xu Fenglei. We have been friends for more than ten years, and our friends have been demoted. Of course, they have to stand up and help speak out!
Even a little less guilt would be fine.

"I have already sent someone to recover it!"

Li Shimin responded and said coldly,
"Xu Fenglei's matter is not the point!"

"The point is, the damned Tuyuhun violated my Liangzhou again!"

"What does this mean? It means that Duan Zhixuan has lost the battle! Although he has entered the Tuyuhun King City all the way, he has not achieved any real results! The strategy was not completed, which made Murong feel that the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than this, which made him even more rampant. It is defeated!"

"Since I have lost the battle, I will punish you!"

"Fang Xuanling, draw up an order to punish Duan Zhixuan with half a year's salary and demote him to be a general of Huaihua Zhonglang! Think carefully about what you did wrong!"

"Follow the order." Fang Xuanling nodded.

He could feel that the emperor was very angry!Very serious consequences!
Duan Zhixuan is going to be in trouble!
However, this has nothing to do with him, but His Majesty's personal promise to recover Xu Fenglei made him feel a little better.

Finally... don't worry about this anymore, it's good that the Grand Master can come back.

All the ministers present also relaxed.

It would be great if the Grand Master could come back, otherwise they would all have to take turns to present memorials and beg the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

Li Jing suddenly cupped his hands and said,
"I think that Murong Fuyun's behavior is a provocation and a contempt for my Tang Dynasty!"

"Datang must send troops again! And this time, it must be completely wiped out!"

"For this person Murong Fuyun, he must see people alive and dead! He must not be allowed to run away again and make a comeback!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"The pharmacist is right!"

He applauded and said in a deep voice,
"That's what I mean too."

"If this beast is not eradicated for a day, there will be no peace on our frontier!"

"However, it is not an easy task to catch the cunning him on the vast grassland... From the battle of Duan Zhixuan, it can be seen that if there is any trouble, this dog can run faster than a mouse!"

"When the army retreated, he walked out again swaggeringly, making his liver hurt from anger!"

"It will take a lot of thought to catch him or kill him!"

"Who in the court is the best at catching mice?"

When Li Shimin asked, a name rose in the hearts of all the ministers!
Xu Fenglei!

"Your Majesty, when it comes to arresting people, Mr. Xu is the most powerful."

Li Jing cupped his hands and said,
"In the past on the Turkic Grassland, Mr. Xu made many predictions and blocked Jieli Khan, so he forced him back."

"At the beginning, I followed Mr. Xu to formulate the battle plan. I also accumulated a lot of experience and gained a lot of understanding. I also participated in some of the strategies."

Li Shimin stroked his short beard.

When it comes to fighting, Xu Fenglei is indeed the most flexible, often anticipating the enemy's opportunity first.

But it is impossible for him to continue to appoint Xu Fenglei, even if he comes back, he can no longer be in command!
Otherwise, it will be unsealable at that time!
"Pharmacist...you seem eager to try?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, smiled lightly and said,
"You really want to go?"

Li Jing smiled and cupped his hands.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it would be a lie to say that you don't want to go. I really want to take command once and personally command a foreign war!"

He said sincerely,

"Of course, I'm eager to return to eager, and I will definitely not rush for quick success!"

"You know me, I have always focused on prudence in wars, and I also think it should be prudent in this war against Tuyuhun! Take it slowly."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Let's hear it, if it were you, what would you do?"

The rest of the generals in the political hall were silent.

They all knew how much Li Jing wanted to be in charge, if they stood up and robbed him at this time, the two sides would definitely turn against each other!
After all, he is old, so give him this chance.

"Duan Zhixuan's cavalry sprint tactics, I think the same as His Majesty, this is only a superficial victory, but the strategy is actually a failure."

Li Jing talked eloquently,

"Tuyuhun is a country where the grassland tribes gather, and the tribes are very mobile. So when the Tang army comes forward, they can completely avoid the sharp edge!"

"Wait until the army crosses the border, and they will come back."

"This will create the illusion that the sprint is extremely smooth, but in fact, no results have been achieved at all."

"I have read Duan Zhixuan's battle report. Except that the battle line is advancing very quickly, it can be said to be useless! There are not many Tuyuhun people captured, there is not much food, grass and luggage, and there are not many cattle and sheep."

"This is purely a stroll around the enemy's house with a knife and gun. It only has a little scaring effect, and it does not cause substantial damage to the enemy at all!"

Li Shimin and all the ministers nodded.

These words, they all agreed.

"Therefore, we must change our style of play. Huo Qubing's style of warfare in the Han Dynasty has something to learn from."

Li Jing said again,

"In the territory of the enemy country, use the capital of the enemy country as the support of our army!"

"In this battle, the more you fight, the richer you become. In the end, you don't even need supplies, and you can support the war directly in the enemy's country!"

"And then……"

Li Jing talked about this strategy for half an hour!Everything has been considered!

For several generals, this is simply a lesson!
It can be seen that Li Jing has really deduced it countless times in his heart!
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.

He has prepared extremely well, it depends on whether the emperor will give him this chance!
"Well, that's right. It's pretty much the same as what I thought. Your details are very strong."

Li Shimin applauded, stood up and said,
"Take your tactics as the first battle plan!"

"I'll go back and think about it."

"Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he got up and left the political affairs hall.

When Li Jing heard this, he became anxious.

I've been talking hard here for a long time, is it useless?

It's just that the tactics were adopted, but I wasn't adopted?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing hurriedly chased after him, and followed behind Li Shimin's ass.

"Pharmacist, is there anything else?"

Li Shimin stopped in his tracks, raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Li Jing squeezed his hands and said bitterly,
"I study the tactics so hard, you...you should know what I mean!"

"This battle, you...you let me fight it!"

The emperor refused to speak, so he could only recommend himself.

For famous generals, this is actually a bit of a fall.

But Li Jing doesn't care anymore, what he wants now is a real handsome position, and he will never pretend to be reserved again!
"You..."

Li Shimin patted Li Jing on the shoulder, pointed at his thigh and said,
"Can you still ride a horse?"

"Before you said that you had a disease in your left leg, did you feel better?"

Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up in front of Li Shimin in an instant!

"Okay, it's all over!"

"There's nothing wrong with it! I can run and dance!"

Li Jing stood on the spot and jumped several times, and ran around Li Shimin several times to show his flexibility.

Li Shimin laughed.

"Actually, I was thinking of you...but I also considered that you are getting old and your energy is low."

he laughed,
"You really think you're up to it?"

Li Jing looked solemn.

"The old man's ambition is a thousand miles away, and the martyr's ambition is endless in his old age!"

He bowed his hands and saluted, and said solemnly,
"The subject, Li Jing, has never been one to talk empty words! It's just a small Tuyuhun beating, it won't exhaust the subject to death!"

"If Your Majesty is still not at ease, I can issue a military order! If Murong Fuyun cannot be captured, I will come to see you!"

do my best!

Steady for a lifetime, and crazy when you get old!
"Okay! People are old at heart! As long as your heart is young, then you are a man of maturity, not old age!"

Li Shimin praised,

"I know your determination!"

"Go back and wait for the news! I have to wait in another row!"

Li Jing frowned.

"Your Majesty means..."

His heart beat a little faster, thinking of what Xu Fenglei had said to him back then.

"I can't understand the meaning of this? Are you stupid? Let you be the chief officer of the march!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and scolded with a smile,
"Go back and prepare!"
