Chapter 71 is two-pronged

After the ministers dispersed, Li Shimin frowned at Zhao Chong and said, "Zhao Chong, you go and invite the pharmacist!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Chong reluctantly ran out of the Xuanzheng Palace, and he didn't even see Fang Yiai greeting him. Fang Yiai blinked, who is this Zhao Chong going to shout?

After a while, I saw Zhao Chong walking over with a kind old man, Fang Yiai and the others hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "I've seen Uncle Pharmacist!" ”

"Hehe, why are you young people here?" Li Jing asked with a squint and a smile.

"Well, Uncle Pharmacist, His Majesty called us!" Fang Yiai replied.

"Oh, I see!" Li Jing touched his gray beard, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Fang Yiai and Su Dingfang very meaningfully.

Fang Yiai and Su Dingfang glanced at each other, and looked at Li Jing who left with a smile, "Brother Dingfang, what does Uncle Pharmacist mean?" ”

"I don't understand either!" Su Dingfang shrugged and said that he couldn't help it.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shimin and several people gathered together, pointed to a map on the table and frowned and asked, "Pharmacist, how do you think this battle will be fought?" ”

"Your Majesty, Forgive the Bold Minister, may I ask what kind of outcome do you want in this battle?"

Li Jing did not directly answer Li Shimin's question, but asked.

"What kind of result?" Li Shimin was suddenly asked by Li Jing, he really didn't think about what kind of result he wanted, it seems that he has indeed forgotten a lot of things if he has not led troops to fight all these years.

"Your Majesty, if you haven't made a decision yet, why don't you let Fang Jun and the others in first, I think maybe they don't know what good ideas they have!"

Li Jing saw that Li Shimin was still hesitating, so he took the opportunity to say.

"Drink, I see that I am confused, I actually forgot Fang Jun and them" After Li Jing's reminder, Li Shimin reacted, and there were still a few young people standing outside, "Zhao Chong, go and let them in!" ”

When Zhao Chong came to the outside of the hall, Fang Yiai and several people were gathering together to discuss.

"Second son, General Su, Your Majesty let you in!"

After listening to Zhao Chong's words, Fang Yiai and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, this finally doesn't have to blow cold wind outside, this taste is really uncomfortable!

Several people followed Zhao Chong into the Xuanzheng Palace, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Shimin and said loudly: "Participate in Your Majesty!" ”

"It's all forgiven, you already know the matter, I called you here today just to ask you how to fight this battle!" After Li Shimin waited for everyone to stand up, he asked with a smile.

Fang Yiai frowned slightly, how could Li Shimin ask such a question, with his own identity and that of Su Dingfang and others, he was completely unqualified to discuss this kind of thing. But since Li Shimin asked so, there must be his reasons, and Fang Yiai thinks that the biggest reason is that Li Shimin has the idea of promoting young people. Thinking about it, the veterans are slowly getting old, and there are not many people who can lead the troops into battle now, let alone the fierce generals who charge into battle, Li Shimin has this idea, and it is completely understandable.

Fang Yiai and the others hesitated, but they didn't speak, Li Shimin looked at these young people, and felt very helpless, these people were still a little uncomfortable.

"You don't have to be afraid, just say what you think," Li Shimin kindly encouraged.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this battle should be fought with elite divisions to block Tubo on the banks of the Jinchuan River, and then use the advantages of the topography of Songzhou, Minzhou, and Maozhou to completely annihilate the invading enemy!" Su Dingfang saw that everyone didn't speak, so he was the first to express his opinion.

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, Li Shimin smiled lightly and nodded. Li Jing looked at Su Dingfang, who was standing not far away, and didn't say anything, just stroked his beard and waited patiently.

"The ministers are the same as General Su thinks!" Li Jingye and the others all bowed their hands and said, only Fang Yiai still didn't speak, but his brows were tightly locked.

"Fang Jun, what do you think differently?" Li Shimin saw that everyone was talking, and only Fang Yiai was still silent, so he tried to ask.

Fang Yiai thought about it, and then said unconfidently: "Your Majesty, can I ask, what kind of result do you want in this battle?" ”

When Fang Yiai finished asking this question, Li Jing and the others all showed incredible eyes, which was exactly the same as what Li Jing asked just now, if it wasn't for the suddenness, others would have thought that Fang Yiai and Li Jing had colluded.

Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Jing, Li Jing also looked over at this time, and the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"Fang Jun, say it boldly, can you tell us about the difference between these different results?"

Li Shimin showed a pleased smile, even Fang Xuanling couldn't help but laugh lightly, the expression on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji was very kind, but his heart was turbulent, how old is this son, he can see such a problem, and in time, to what extent will he grow. What makes the eldest grandson Wuji even more troubled is that Li Shimin is still so fond of this house.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being brave" Seeing that Li Shimin was so open-minded, Fang Yiai retracted the apprehension in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, this battle can be said to be very important, the national strength of Tubo is strong, and the soldiers are even more skilled in bows and horses, compared to my Tang Dynasty, it is not bad at all." Therefore, this battle will be very difficult, and it can be said that it is not weaker than the ** battle of the year, so the bereaved love believes that if you want to fight, you must first find the purpose of the war. ”

"The purpose of the war? This reconciliation? Li Jing asked kindly.

"The purpose of the so-called war is actually very simple, and in this case, the purpose can be divided into two types. The first is that after this battle, Tubo saw the strength of my Tang Dynasty, and since then he has not dared to start a war lightly; The second is that through this war, let my Tang Dynasty have a military advantage over Tibet. ”

After Fang Yiai finished speaking, Li Shimin thought carefully for a while and asked, "How will these two purposes be fought?" ”

"Your Majesty, the first one is very simple, just follow General Su's method. The second one is a bit troublesome, my idea is to divide the troops into two routes, one way to Songzhou, Minzhou area, head-on against the Tubo army, the other way to Liangzhou, Dunhuang, across the desert to Tuyuhun, occupy Doma City, and garrison troops in Doma City for a long time. As long as we take Doma City, it is like putting a steel knife on the head of Tubo, and from now on, as long as Tubo dares to use troops again, we can react quickly! Fang Yiai explained in detail the thoughts of the afterlife.

"Occupy the city of Dom? Fang Jun, do you know that Tuyuhun can be regarded as under the rule of my Tang Dynasty, wouldn't occupying Doma City let others gossip? ”

Although Li Shimin is very tempted by the second idea of Fang Yiai, he still has his own concerns.

"Your Majesty, your thoughts, the bereavement can't agree, if you don't occupy Doma City, I want to ask, after this battle, what else can I get in Datang, is it money, or land?" Seeing that Li Shimin was still hesitating, Fang Yiai shouted loudly.

Li Shimin was completely shocked by Fang Yiai's bold words, Li Shimin heard this, like an initiation, lowered his head and slowly thought about it, if he didn't take Doma City, what could Datang get, except for the casualties of soldiers and the consumption of the treasury, it seemed that he couldn't get anything.

"Fang Jun, but have you thought about it, Datang is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, how can you not leave your interests?" Wei Zhengwei was angry, although this kid is quite smart, why is he always like a businessman.

"Uncle Wei, what you say is wrong, you have no interests, what kind of war are you fighting. What's wrong with the Heavenly Empire, others praise a few words, can you eat it as a meal? Uncle Wei, you have to know that today others call me the Tang Dynasty the Heavenly Empire, and he says that you can regard me as a barbarian, and the Turkic lessons are not enough? In the face of Wei Zheng, Fang Yiai was not afraid and argued with reason.

"This" Hearing this, Wei Zheng really couldn't say anything, although what Fang Yiai said was very reasonable, but Wei Zheng was always a little unacceptable, is this sentence or a gentleman's doing?

"Pharmacist, what do you think?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and didn't pay attention to Wei Zheng and Fang Yiai, but turned his head to Li Jing and asked.

"Your Majesty, what Fang Jun said is very reasonable, the minister supports the soldiers to divide into two routes, occupy Doma City, control Tuyuhun, and completely turn Tuyuhun into the territory of my Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing got up and bent down, and arched his hand.

"Okay, if what I said coincides with me!" Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's words, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I will be a robber emperor this time, I see how those barbarians dare to arrange me!" ”

"Your Majesty, for the well-being of my Datang people, what if I am scolded twice?" Fang Yiai's bewitching words were very appropriate.

Listening to Fang Yiai's words, Li Shimin was really happy, "Jun'er, this is very much in line with my intentions, for my people in the Tang Dynasty, what if I am scolded twice, how can I care about this." ”

Seeing Li Shimin and Fang Yiai hitting it off, the eldest grandson Wuji felt very bitter in his heart, this Fang Yiai is really a little vixen, and he is so good at patting horses.

Fang Yi's love was disgusting for a while, this Li Shimin really likes sycophants, but seeing Du Ruhui's thumbs up at himself, Fang Yiai was proud for a while, it seems that this time the sycophants were quite timely.
