Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 341 Li You, the top war criminal

Wude Hall.

Li Xiaogong, Yuchi Jingde, Tang Jian and others were commanding a dozen officers and making the final adjustments.

This is a huge sandbox. Judging from the topography, it is mostly mountainous and densely forested.

It is a sand table model of the southwestern region.

"Well, that's very intuitive." Li Xiaogong nodded.

"There shouldn't be anything missing."

Tang Jian was still checking meticulously. As the highest-ranking civilian military officer in the army, he had the meticulous mind of a civilian and the style of a military officer.

It can be said that his gorgeous transformation combines both civil and military styles.

Compared to Li Xiaogong and others who are careless, he is rough but also meticulous, and meticulous but also rough.

"Duke Ju, so many people have put in so much thought, there shouldn't be any mistakes." Yuchi Jingde said with a smile.

"It won't take much to check it more. There are some discrepancies in this sand table, which may cause many soldiers to die in vain."

Tang Jian said so.

Having said that, everyone was speechless.

at this time.

There were shouts from outside.

"His Majesty is here!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Everyone in the hall gathered together immediately. When they saw Li Shimin striding in first, followed by the Crown Prince, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "No thanks."

"How's your sandbox going?"

Li Xiaogong said: "Your Majesty, please take a look and you will know."

"it is good!"

After Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, there came Li Ke, Li Zhi, Li You and others, then Zhangsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Cui Dunli, Li Rengong, Ma Zhou, Yang Shidao, Su Tan, Cen Wenben and others.

A group of people gathered around the sand table, observing and exclaiming in amazement.

This was proposed by the Crown Prince and created by the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial Household Department according to the map of the southwest.

It roughly presents the topography, mountains, and rivers of the southwest.

"Ah."

Li Shimin praised: "Not bad, very clear."

"This kind of sand table is very helpful for generals to analyze and judge before going into battle."

"It is worth promoting in military schools and in the military."

"Zhijie, you are now a chief instructor at the military academy. You need to study this aspect more."

After Li Jing passed away, the position of chief instructor at the military academy became vacant.

Originally, Li Xiaogong should have been more suitable.

But he also held the title of Minister of War and was also the chief instructor of the military academy, so his influence in the military was too great.

It is impossible for Li Xiaogong to abandon his position as the Minister of War and become a chief instructor.

Because he was in the Ministry of War and was a Guanlong noble, many military officers in the world wanted to see him.

Li Xiaogong was able to gain control of the temple and gain benefits for the army.

Just in the Northeast, Li Xiaogong's income from the Ministry of War made many military officers satisfied.

The military attachés were still worried when someone else was sent up.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Shimin sent the unemployed Cheng Zhijie to the post.

It can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for Cheng Zhijie not serving as the commander of the new army and voluntarily giving up his position.

Cheng Zhijie never expected that after fighting in battles all his life, a rough guy like him would end up doing fancy things, which forced him to read more books and study more.

Of course, although the chief instructor does not have the command of the new army and the troops, it is better than doing nothing at home.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I, Old Cheng, will definitely work hard on the research." Cheng Zhijie did not speak in a careless manner and his tone was not loud.

This makes everyone feel a little weird.

When did this rough guy become ambitious and studious?
The sun really rose from the west.

Cheng Zhijie felt the strange gazes, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he raised his head.

How?
I, Cheng, have switched to a clerical job.

A little more culture, you guys are not used to it yet, right?
"Everyone, take a seat."

Li Shimin said: "Today we will discuss how to use the troops and govern the six states in the southwest."

Everyone found a place to sit down.

Discussing the war in the Wude Hall was the result of consultation between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin.

The Wude Hall originally symbolizes military force. Isn't it normal to discuss the use of force in the Wude Hall?
of course.

What was Li Chengqian thinking? What was Li Shimin thinking?

Everyone has a clear understanding in their minds.

Isn't it just to gradually shift the Wude Hall towards military force and weaken its political influence?

"Goro!"

"The future Grand Commander of the Southwest, come and tell us what you think."

Li Chengqian spoke.

"Yes!"

Li You held his head high, like a rooster, looking around proudly.

That kind of arrogant and domineering energy.

It is something that everyone can feel clearly.

Officials such as Changsun Wuji were originally full of prejudice against Li You, which made them frown.

On the contrary, the military officers were very satisfied with Li You.

How can I not be satisfied?

The King of Qi is in the northeast and he takes good care of the Ministry of War.

If you can bring tens of millions of strings of gold and silver to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War will also support you.

"Father, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and all the gentlemen!"

Li You stood in front of the sand table, holding the baton given by the school officer, tapping the sand table and saying something shocking: "The imperial court is too kind to these barbarians in the southwest."

"They should be allowed to experience the life of the Tibetan people back then, which was even worse than that of ants."

"Let them also feel the humble and lowly labor conditions of the Northeastern savages and the Japanese men."

He shouted radically: "I suggest that the army be sent out to kill any two-legged beings they encounter wherever they go."

"Catch them all, manage them all, and work together."

"Don't they know what the grace of the Holy Son of Heaven is? Don't they know what enlightenment is? What benevolence is?"

"Then let them understand that without the grace of the Holy Son of Heaven, there would be no teaching and benevolence of our Great Tang."

"They are just a bunch of ants who find it difficult to die."

Li You looked around and said, "I'm done." Huh?
Li Shimin was puzzled and everyone was stunned.

What's the meaning.

You speak so simply.

"Wulang, do you want to think about it again? Is there anything else you want to say?" Li Shimin kindly reminded.

"Father, what is there to say about Liuzhao?"

Li You was unmoved and said contemptuously: "I think that mobilizing a large army today is a bit too much of an overrepresentation of the Six Kingdoms."

"Just send the troops and follow your son's advice."

"The great Tang army is invincible. The Six Kingdoms were destroyed in an instant."

Everyone still couldn't keep up with Li You's pace.

Is this a war?
It's like playing house with kids.

Li Xiaogong said: "King Qi, we know we can easily destroy them, but the mountains in the southwest are high and the forests are dense. They are defeated and fled into the mountains, but it is difficult to find them."

"We are not worried about the open attack, but we are worried about the hidden attack."

"They invade from time to time, and the border is not peaceful. We are exhausted and annoyed by it."

Everyone nodded.

The reason why everyone is discussing this is to come up with a foolproof plan to dispel these doubts.

"laugh!"

Li You said disdainfully: "I told you that you are too kind, but you didn't believe it."

"How did they overthrow the Sui Dynasty?"

"I am becoming indecisive now."

The old ministers felt a little embarrassed after being ridiculed by Li You.

You haven't even grown any hair yet, so why are you so arrogant?
"You just haven't seen how miserable the people of Tibet were when I went there."

"That Tibetan royal palace was built with the blood and flesh of millions of people."

"Millions of Tibetan people live worse than ants."

Li You sighed, "Back then, I was also a very kind and benevolent person."

"But after traveling through Tibet and the Northeast, I finally realized how kind I really am."

Even Li Chengqian's mouth twitched.

Are you too kind?
Everyone in the court knows who you are.

Kindness is bullshit.

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed. How could his own son be so shameless?
Li Ke had something to say, "Father, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I have to say something for Wu Lang. He is right."

you do not say.

He went to Tibet and then to India.

Damn it.

Everything he saw completely overturned his inherent good views and cognition.

He acted ruthlessly for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, but with his state of mind, he began to show some hesitation when he saw the lower-class people in the two places.

"See, Third Brother has spoken for me."

After Li You received support from others, he became more straightforward.

"I treat them as human beings, but they don't necessarily think they are human beings."

"so."

"My uncle said something about escaping into the mountains and forests, and being extremely annoying."

"What's there to doubt?"

Li You said calmly: "I suggest setting fire to the mountain!"

"There are so many in the history books, but Zhuge Liang's fire is not enough?"

"I've read it all, you know it, don't you?"

Everyone was kind of silent after being fucked.

Chang Sun Wuji said: "There are so many mountains in the southwest..."

Before he could finish his words, Li You waved his hand and said, "Burn them all!"

"It's completely burned. Let's see how they can hide."

"If we can't burn them to death, we'll smoke them to death."

Li Chengqian's eyes were reserved, but deep inside they contained admiration.

If this Goro were to live in the future, he would definitely be the number one war criminal.

He glanced at the historian in the corner and estimated that after this incident, Li You's reputation would completely fall to the worst level.

It is people like this who are needed to bear the blame.

Can the Holy Emperor be asked to take responsibility?
Can Li Chengqian be asked to take the responsibility?
Li Ke fell silent after expressing his support.

Let Wulang carry it.

Anyway, he did too many things in Tibet and the Northeast.

The southwest one is not bad either.

"The Six Kingdoms are like something in a jar. There's no need to spend too much time on it."

Li You pointed his baton and said, "The Pyu Kingdom under Jiannan Road must be governed by our Southwest Grand Military Governor's Office."

"Father, I suggest that you issue an edict to the Pyu Kingdom, asking them to submit to the Southwest Military Governor's Office."

"Since I am the Grand Commander of the Southwest, then..."

He waved his baton across the entire sand table and said, "In this area of ​​the southwest, the Southwest Grand Military Governor's Office has the final say."

"He, the Pyu Kingdom, must also obey."

"If he dares not to obey, I will beat him."

The civil servants looked at each other in bewilderment.

The military attachés were rubbing their hands in anticipation, their eyes shining.

The Tang Dynasty had not fought a war for a long time, and yet, in secret, such a terrifying prince was born.

So radical.

Too radical.

The means are extremely direct and the methods are extremely brutal.

"Father, Your Highness, I think Hou Junji is a very good person. I worked very closely with him in Tubo."

"I'm taking him to the southwest."

Li You offered an additional bet.

He suffered a lot when he went to the southwest. As a prince, how could he possibly go and wipe out the savages and barbarians himself?
It is necessary to bring a general who is easy to use.

Hou Junji was the one he admired the most and was most satisfied with.

Li Shimin suddenly realized that he should not be in the Wude Hall, but in the Liangyi Hall.

His son is a bit too evil.
