First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 153
...

After hearing Gao Chong's words, Li Shimin pondered silently. It's not unusual for the plan to reduce construction. Since Sun Bin invented it, later generations have borrowed it a lot, but this is the first time Li Shimin has seen the reduction of stoves in the city.

Elder Sun Wuji on the side listened for a long time. At this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Since Duan Da knew we were short of food and was eager to fight, why did he go out of the city to fight? If he can't hold on, he will withdraw his troops when we run out of food. , Wouldn’t it be better to win without fighting?”

Gao Chong smiled when he heard the words, and before he could speak, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Duan Da won't stick to it."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was puzzled, Gao Chong patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder, "My good nephew, think about Duan Da's temper, will he not be able to hold on?"

Changsun Wuji paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Duan Da is arrogant and conceited, he must want to defeat us in one fell swoop, and make great achievements that will never be seen in the world."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Yiyang City, "If we can't hold on, let us take the initiative to retreat after we run out of food to show his ability as General Duan. If we defeat our [-] troops in World War I, he will be famous all over the world."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned and looked at Gao Chong: "If this battle is won, you will be the first to win."

Gao Chong smiled when he heard the words, the scheme proposed by Ji Fu's elder brother should be attributed to him, this is not too much, after all, Gao Jifu is under Li Mi's command, even if the scheme is meritorious, it is impossible for Li Yuan to reward Gao Jifu, let alone Li Mi's suspicion temper……

Thinking of this, Gao Chong was stunned, Li Mi was suspicious and suspicious, if Li Yuan rewarded Li Mi with martial arts, then Li Mi would definitely be suspicious of his subordinates, in this way, if the monarch and ministers were separated, could they "counter-plan" against Li Mi? .

But after thinking about it, now that Li Mi is still the main force against the Sui Dynasty, it is too early to target Li Mi now, but it can be planned in advance.

Gao Chong remembered very clearly that Wagang flying general Shan Xiongxin was defeated in Yanshi because he was dissatisfied with Li Mi. After Pei Xingyan, Cheng Zhijie and others were captured by Wang Shichong, they defected to Wang Shichong with Bing Yuanzhen and others.

It's a pity that later, by mistake, when Li Shimin was attacking Luoyang, he got up by chance and went hunting in Yuxi outside Luoyang city, and happened to run into Shan Xiongxin.

At that time, each was their own master, Shan Xiongxin should fight Li Shimin even if he stood up, this time, it was the closest time Li Shimin came to death in his life.

Li Shimin is quite brave, but he is not an all-in-one enemy when facing Wagang Flying General. In a critical moment, Yuchi Jingde arrives in time to rescue Li Shimin who is in a state of embarrassment from Shan Xiongxin.

It is said that Li Shimin once begged Shan Xiongxin to spare his life, but Shan Xiongxin was a warrior, so he would not be merciful. Later, after Shan Xiongxin was captured, Li Shimin insisted on executing him regardless of Xu Shiji and others' pleas. related to experience.

As for Li Yuan accidentally killing Shan Xiongxin's brother on the way to Taiyuan to take office, which led to Shan Xiong's vow not to surrender to Tang, it is definitely a fabrication.

First, Shan Xiongxin followed Wang Shichong to the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin did not accept it.

Second, Shan Xiongxin was born in a wealthy family in Caozhou, Shandong, and he was from the same hometown as Xu Shi. He was by no means from Erxian Village, Bali, Luzhou, Shanxi.

Shan Xiongxin is a pure Jianghu martial artist, he values ​​friendship, and his military strength is the top in the world. Gao Chong wants to change his ending. After all, the title of flying general has only been like this for hundreds of years.

But let the flying generals in Longcheng stay, don't teach Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountains, and then send Shan Xiongxin as the forward, riding the horse and holding the lance, and showing off the desert, this is the meaning of the flying generals.

That night, under the amazed eyes of all the generals, Li Shimin revised the military order that had been issued. Qiu Xinggong widened his eyes, covered his shoulders and smiled wryly: "Then my few arrow wounds are not for nothing."

Appreciation flashed in Gao Chong's eyes, this Qiu Xinggong is not simple, he is not a hunk, if he is really a hunk, he should vent his dissatisfaction at this time, after all the changes from day to day, hurt for nothing.

But for Qiu Xinggong's words like this, Li Shimin felt guilty and would only trust him more.

Sure enough, Li Shimin got up when he heard the words, took off his cloak, and put it on Qiu Xinggong, "Why did Xinggong say that, every drop of blood you shed is your merit, and it will not be shed in vain."

Qiu Xinggong grinned when he heard the words, "As long as we win the battle, I, Qiu Xinggong, will not regret dying."

Gao Chong couldn't help giving a thumbs up. With such an EQ, it's no wonder he can live to be 80 years old without disease or disaster. With such a thick and detailed character design, only the future Yu Chigong and Cheng Zhijie can be compared with him.

"Fortunately, you have reminded me," Li Shimin said happily, "otherwise the four battles and four defeats would have been in vain."

Hearing this, Gao Chong hurriedly said: "The previous plan was also proposed by me. I didn't think carefully and caused General Qiu to be injured. You are guilty of crimes. Please punish the second son."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said straightly: "Don't say this again, even if you propose it, I agree with it. How about reducing the stove by [-]% today?"

Everyone thought for a while, and all nodded in agreement. Li Shimin couldn't help but said straightly: "What I put forward is not a conclusion, and you need to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. If you have ideas, please speak freely. I, Li Shimin, will never convict me for my words." ".

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly while being emotional.

"Second son, there is nothing wrong with it."

"What the governor said is very true. The reduction of cooking stoves by [-]% is not too much, and it is not obvious, but it can reflect the lack of food for us, which is very good."

"Really?" Li Shimin felt a little unconfident when he saw this.

"Really", the generals nodded firmly.

"Then act according to the order." Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, he made repeated decision-making mistakes and did not take advantage of this Yiyang city. Li Shimin has been reflecting on it for the past few days. It went well.

In Yiyang City, in the back hall of the county government, Duan Da is enjoying singing and dancing. As a child of an aristocratic family, the only way to reflect his taste is to appreciate singing and dancing in his spare time.

Zhang Zhi was pouring wine for Duan Da respectfully, it wasn't that Zhang Zhi was afraid of power and flattered Duan Da, on the contrary, Zhang Zhi's reckless background was the most rebellious.

The reason why Zhang Zhi respects Duan Da is because of his reckless nature, because in Zhang Zhi's heart, Duan Da not only has the grace of saving his life, but also the grace of knowing and encountering him. Repay yourself with powder.

"Zhang Zhi, after the class teacher returns to the Eastern Capital, I will definitely report your achievements, and maybe I can get a title at that time." Seeing Zhang Zhi being so attentive, Duan Da also said in a kind tone.

Zhang Zhi was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for your cultivation, General."

After several days, Duan Da took in a "confidant" for no reason. Duan Da shook his wine glass and couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, the captain of Chengmen asked to see him.

"General, you let me observe that the smoke from cooking in Tangying has finally changed."The captain of the city gate said happily.

"Oh?" Duan Da sat up straight, "Is the cooking smoke less? About how much less?"

The captain of Chengmen nodded straightly, "The general is really amazing, at least [-]% of the smoke in the Tang camp has been reduced tonight."

Duan Da laughed when he heard the words, "The day of our army's victory is not far away."

"General, at the end of the day, I dare to ask, how did you make such a clever calculation, and if you can reach the Tang camp, you will definitely reduce the smoke?"

The captain of the city gate looked very admiring and very curious, and instantly turned into a loyal fan of General Duan.

　Brothers, can you believe this, I am writing this on the train, the noisy environment is really disappointing.

　　Shan Xiongxin was very controversial. When Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, he surrendered as Zhai Rang's old general. After Li Mi's defeat, he surrendered to Wang Shichong. Many people called him a rebellious boy.

　　It is true that there is a little bit of loyalty, but I think Shan Xiongxin, who was born in a reckless world, should have more righteousness. At that time, his good brother Qin Qiong Luo Shixin and others were captured by Wang Shichong, and Li Mi also treated Zhai Rang as an old general. Very suspicious, so it makes sense for Shan Xiongxin to defect to Wang Shichong.

　　By the way, all the things about the Green Forest General Manager are fabricated by acting, Shan Xiongxin is not from Luzhou, Shanxi, and Li Yuan didn't kill his brother, at least there is no record in the official history.
