Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile and said, "Guanyin, you are right, you really shouldn't call at this time." ”

He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, then smiled bitterly again, and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, you should let the stinky boy have a good rest." I don't need to use your phone, so as not to wake your child to sleep. ”

Li Shimin said that he would not call, but the eldest grandson suddenly took the initiative.

The queen gently hugged her husband's arm, looked out of the door with a faint gaze, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you say that Yue'er can do it this time?" The Western Turks have millions of troops, and they are also colluding with the countries of the Western Regions, I am really afraid that Yue'er will not be able to defeat them......"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but deepen.

The eldest grandson continued to say quietly: "The concubine has not been able to sleep well these days, for fear that Yue'er will make a mistake in the frontier. Sometimes Stone wakes up at night to pee, and occasionally cries and asks where his father is. When the concubine heard this, her heart was like a knife, and she didn't know how many times she cried with the child on her back. ”

Li Shimin sighed, stretched out his hand and gently took the eldest grandson in his arms, and the emperor and his family looked out of the hall, listening to the sound of the rainy night.

The emperor suddenly said in a deep voice: "The three guards of Xifu are invincible in the world, and besides, the stinky boy laid the groundwork two years ago. He continued to accumulate millions of fire and oil bombs in the frontier city. I specially sent Hou Junji there as bait, as long as the Western Turks were besieged, there would definitely be no return this time. So Guanyin, don't be afraid, this war Datang will inevitably win......"

"And after the war?" The eldest grandson raised his face to look at her husband, and said with a worried expression: "Yue'er is going to rush into the grassland, after all, it is a foreign land. Although he had experience in pacifying the steppes, the Western Turks were completely different from the Eastern Turks. ”

The queen glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Back then, Yue'er swept away the Eastern Turks, which was facilitated by various forces, not only using the power of the whole country to suppress, but also weakening the mutual market outside the Guan, so the eastern grassland can be decided in a battle, but the western grassland is different." ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly let go of his wife and walked to the side of the palace gate. He reached out to pick up the drizzling rain outside the door, and his two sword eyebrows tightened.

Later, Empress Changsun came over and continued again: "Your Majesty, the Western Turks are no better than the Eastern Grasslands, because they border the entire Western Regions. I heard you say that there are hundreds of large and small countries in the Western Regions, and the Buddhism Gate has been hiding in the dark to make trouble at any time, and the concubines are really afraid that Yue'er will suffer, and the battlefield battle is not a joke after all. Although he is smart and clever, he has no handsome talents under his command......"

"And what do you want?" Li Shimin suddenly turned to look at the queen, his eyes obviously inquiring.

The eldest grandson took a deep breath, suddenly bowed down slowly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the concubine is the child's mother after all. I can't watch Yue'er have an accident, so I beg you to use the court army to help. ”

"The Imperial Army?" Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he muttered in his mouth.

The eldest grandson said quietly, and said in an eager tone: "Yes, the army of the court." Although Yue'er has three guards in Xifu, the total number of people is only 400,000. The 400,000 sounds like a lot, but resting on the vast grassland is like dropping water into the sea. The concubine was afraid that he would not have enough troops, so she begged His Majesty to send a large army to support ......"

Li Shimin frowned and groaned, then shook his head lightly and said: "Guanyin, you don't care about the court, so I don't know how much Datang's real family has." I'll tell you the truth, now my Datang has 2.4 million soldiers, which sounds like a huge number. However, this number is only the number of people, and it is impossible for all the soldiers to be on duty in the garrison. ”

The emperor is not wrong, because the Tang Dynasty adopted the government soldier system, so the military strength is one of the best in all dynasties, but this army is not a standing force, because three-quarters of the government soldiers usually have to stay at home and farm.

Datang's standing army is actually only about 500,000.

Li Shimin suddenly stretched out his hand to pull his wife up, and explained with a wry smile: "There are 500,000 soldiers and horses in the court, but not many can be sent. For example, my left and right guards add up to 150,000, and these two armies must be stationed in Gyeonggi at all times. The remaining 350,000 will be stationed in other provinces, prefectures, capitals, and counties, and each county will be less than 3,000 people. Guanyin, you also know that the county must not be less than 3,000 soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress something happen......"

The eldest grandson blurted out: "Gather the drums! Two months ago, Your Majesty, didn't you let the military department beat the drum of gathering generals? As soon as the drums sounded, all the Zhichong Mansions had to dispatch the government soldiers who were farming at home. The concubines heard that 500,000 soldiers and horses had gathered in two months, and that 1 million peasants had been conscripted to transport grain, grass and military supplies. ”

The queen paused slightly when she said this, and then her tone became excited, and she said loudly: "Why doesn't Your Majesty send this 500,000 army to the grassland, so that our family Yue'er can take a breath?" ”

This proposal is said to be very pertinent, and there is a possibility that it will be implemented. After all, the eldest grandson is the queen of a country, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but he also understands military affairs. Even if this proposal is put in the court and discussed by the bigwigs, it is estimated that there will be no more appropriate way.

It's a pity that Li Shimin just glanced at his wife, then shook his head with a wry smile, and explained softly: "Guanyin, you only thought that the Zhichong Mansion had gathered a large army, but you didn't know that this army had already been sent to the southwest. This time, my Datang has been invaded on three sides, and it is not only the Western Regions and the North that have a big war triggered......"

The emperor gritted his teeth when he said this, and said fiercely with a fierce gaze: "A few days ago, I received a report from Hongling that half of Jiannan Road had been occupied by Tubo. That group of fans burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and my 500,000 army was done hard in the past. ”

"Jiannan Dao? Tibetan? The eldest grandson muttered, and the phoenix eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

Li Shimin sighed and exhaled, suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his wife's waist, and said in a low voice of relief: "Guanyin, don't worry, the stinky boy has his own ideas." In fact, it was his idea to divide the troops to fight in three directions this time, he chose the Western Regions and the grassland, and then asked me to help him drag Tubo with a large army, he said that as long as the grassland was pacified, he could immediately free up ...... free time, and then the three guards of the Xifu galloped to Jiannan Road, and then swept the Tubo in a battle"

The eldest grandson's eyes flickered slightly, frowned and pondered: "That's why Your Majesty will leave Lu Dongzan to praise the good life of the broadband, fighting in front and appeasing in the rear at the other." This person asks for harmony at every turn, Your Majesty, have you been acting with him? ”

Li Shimin snorted, and said: "I also deliberately let go of the Chang'an City Guard, and let the Dark Moon Dragon Guard not be allowed to stare at the Honglu Temple, so that Lu Dongzan can continue to send spies to report to Jiannan Dao, so as to confuse Songtsan Gampo's determination to attack, and make him think that my Datang always has the desire to be friendly." ”

When the emperor said this, he took a hard breath, his tiger eyes shot out a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "For the time being, drag it like this, so as not to kill and injure too many people in Jiannan Dao." When my eldest son arrives, I will make the whole of Tibet pay the price of blood......"

The eldest grandson saw her husband's excitement, and couldn't help but reach out and shake his hand with him, the queen suddenly sighed faintly, looked at the drizzle outside the door, and said softly: "When will Yue'er return to the army?" The western steppe is more difficult to conquer than the eastern steppe! ”

Li Shimin laughed suddenly, grabbed the queen into his arms with his arms, and suddenly lowered his head and said with a mysterious expression: "Before leaving, the stinky boy discussed with me all night and made a special plan to pacify the grassland. ”

"A strategy to pacify the grasslands?" The eldest grandson's eyes moved slightly, and then he hurriedly asked, "Is it safe or not, is there a risk?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, his eyebrows fluttered and said: "Guanyin, have you heard of the construction corps, where to build, the three guards of Xifu are attacking in front, and the Tang ambush is building in the back, and then I will cooperate with the requisition of millions of farmers, and it will not be long before the entire grassland is the territory of the Han family." ”

He glanced at the eldest grandson proudly, and said again: "This plan was proposed by the stinky boy, and then I suggested it many times to modify it. From ancient times to the present, I have only heard that the army must be withdrawn after fighting the grassland, and no one has ever been able to turn that place into the land of the Han family. But our Tang Dynasty is destined to go down in history, because the general of the Construction Corps has Sinicized the entire grassland......"

"Construction Corps?" The eldest grandson muttered to himself, and the phoenix eyes obviously didn't understand.

The prairie has been occupied by foreign races since the pre-Qin era, and even with the eloquence of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is probably impossible to accept it. Although it can be calmed down in a short time, it will not take long for it to rise immediately. Now her husband said that the grassland can be pacified forever, and he will also bring back the sinicization of foreign races.

The queen frowned and pondered, still unable to figure out what the trick was.

Li Shimin saw that she was constantly pondering, and there was obviously worry in her eyes, and at this time, two eunuchs outside the door came over in the rain carrying a food box, which was obviously the supper food that had just been made.

The emperor suddenly waved his hand to signal them to leave, and then took advantage of the eldest grandson's inattention to stop his waist and pick him up, he ignored the eldest grandson's screaming and kicking, and laughed and said, "Guanyin, I want to die." Let my son do the major affairs of the country, now you accompany me to do something more important......"

Saying that, Long Xinghu stepped away with his big feet, and hurriedly rushed into the back of the main hall with Empress Changsun in his arms. During this period, the queen kept kicking him with her legs, but after kicking a few times, her eyes were like silk.

Hand in hand with the husband and wife, the so-called resistance is the appearance, the queen is at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and she may not have other thoughts when she comes to Li Shimin late at night.

The night was deeper, the city was full of dripping, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky, which was the first spring thunder in the sixth year of Zhenguan.

Chang'an is happy with rain on a spring night, and the crescent moon is like a hook outside, Han Yue at this time did not sleep, but stood next to the river in the sunset department with his hands.

He raised his head to look at the sky, suddenly sighed, and asked with a sad face, "Are you here to assassinate me?" ”

Behind the wind and grass, a beautiful girl walked out. She smiled softly at Han Yue, like a blooming pearl. The stars seemed to have darkened, and the crescent moon was suppressed by a smile.

However, Han Yue didn't seem to see the girl smiling, he just raised his head and sighed again, and said in an even more gloomy tone: "Lonely and lonely late at night, why did You You come here?" Could it be that he has already gathered a million male soldiers, ready to assassinate me and then wield his army to destroy Tang? ”

The girl behind her was You You, but she didn't answer Han Yue. She stepped forward with a gentle chuckle, suddenly pulled out a delicate horsewhip from her waist, and then slammed it at Han Yue's back.
