Chang'an in mid-July is still hot.
Outside Chang'an City, a mighty army is coming, heading straight for the city of Chang'an City.
This is the army led by Li Shimin.
After leaving Chang'an, an army of more than 200,000 troops went to the Western Regions to attack Du Qi. But now he returned without success, Li Shimin's heart is quite heavy, this trip to the Western Regions is too bad.
Li Shimin was upset.
Changsun Wuji was heartbroken, after all his son, Changsun Chong, would go to the Western Regions as a hostage in exchange for Hou Junji. The rest of the generals have low fighting spirit.
This battle was not fought, but in fact it seemed to be defeated. But even so, what Li Shimin announced to the outside world was that he led the army to the border. After talking with Du Qi, Du Qi took the initiative to release the captured soldiers of the Tang army, so Li Shimin spared Du Qi to withdraw his troops.
After hearing this, ordinary people do not doubt him.
Everyone thinks it is a victory.
People who really have vision and insight, but know that this happened, it is obviously tricky. If Du Qi loses to Li Shimin, it is impossible for Li Shimin to withdraw directly.
Fighting is not how it is fought.
This is obviously a failure.
However, Li Shimin didn't care about the common people's discussion. The armies returned to their respective positions, and many generals also returned to serve in the court, and all the personnel performed their duties.
Li Shimin dragged his slightly tired body back to the palace. He returned to the harem and went straight to the palace of Changsun Wugou. Li Shimin came back in a short time, Changsun Wugou looked quite surprised, said: "Your Majesty, coming back from the Western Regions so soon, does that mean that Du Erlang's matter has been resolved?"
"Defeated!"
Li Shimin sighed.
Changsun Wugou was even more astonished, and asked: "How could His Majesty's army of more than 200,000 troops be defeated so quickly? How many soldiers and horses have been lost in this battle!"
In Changsun Wugou's opinion, fighting an army of hundreds of thousands cannot be accomplished overnight.
However, Li Shimin came and went very quickly.
Calculating the time, after deducting the one-way trip, there are only a few days or ten days in the Western Regions.
Li Shimin said: "I led the army to the Western Regions, and when I confronted Du Qi at the border, I didn't actually start a fight. But in this battle, I was defeated."
The eldest grandson Wugou was suddenly curious, and asked: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
At this moment, Tang Zhen entered.
He walked to Li Shimin's side, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has an invitation."
"knew."
Li Shimin nodded and answered.
After Tang Zhen left, Li Shimin briefly told Changsun Wugou about the war in the Western Regions, and also told Changsun Chong as a hostage. After Changsun Wugou heard it, he could only sigh. With Changsun Chong as a hostage, although Changsun Wugou was unwilling in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Hou Junji is a general of the imperial court, so it is impossible to ignore Hou Junji.
After Li Shimin finished speaking briefly, he ordered: "Guanyin maidservant, please comfort the auxiliary machine well, and tell him that the eldest grandson will be fine when he goes to the Western Regions. I am sorry for him for this incident. Besides, although Du Qi said that he would Changsun Chong is a hostage, just to target the auxiliary machine. Because this time the dispatch of troops was facilitated by the auxiliary machine."
The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson's family can enjoy the glory and wealth because of you. Now it is necessary to return to Hou Junji, and the eldest grandson's family is duty-bound. What's more, it is only a hostage. The concubine believes that Du Qi can't do it." Something that hurt Chang Sun Chong, and this can be regarded as an experience for Chang Sun Chong."
Li Shimin said: "It's best if you think so. In short, you comfort the auxiliary machine."
"The concubine knows."
The eldest grandson Wugou urged: "Your Majesty, go down and see the father, I think the father is also very anxious now."
Li Shimin nodded, got up and left.
After Li Shimin left the harem and went straight to Li Yuan's palace, he faced Li Yuan at this moment, but he sighed in his heart, because he lost face this time.
Li Shimin stepped forward and said, "Father!"
Seeing Li Shimin who came back, Li Yuan put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said slightly drunk: "This campaign is going to the Western Regions to conquer Du Qi. How is the situation?"
"Invincible and undefeated!"
Li Shimin answered directly.
In front of Li Yuan, Li Shimin changed his rhetoric again.
Li Yuan said: "What is invincible?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "When he was in the Western Regions, Du Qi was known as grenade, gunpowder andRay's new weapon is extremely powerful. In addition, there are Tubo Chen Bing Datang border. If Datang and Du Qi go to war, Tubo will take advantage of the situation to plunder Datang. Because Du Qi's strength was not weak, and Tubo was eyeing him covetously, the son-in-law did not go to war in the end, but led his army back. "
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Ignore Du Qi for the time being, first stabilize the internal conflicts, and then deal with Tubo, Goguryeo, etc. After these internal troubles are settled, I will deal with Du Qi. This time Du Qi is fully prepared, so Failed to win Du Qi."
Li Yuan said: "Although you have never fought, for you, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sending out troops means drawing out the blade of the sword. If the blade does not drink blood, it means defeat. This time, you are considered defeated."
Li Shimin didn't speak.
Li Yuan continued: "I warned you a long time ago that it is not worthwhile and unwise to start a war with Du Qi. Because Du Qi is an extremely cunning kid, and he can be called a cunning rabbit. You will never expect his methods."
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is no war. I am just worried that after the war between you and Du Qi, the situation in Datang will fall into the quagmire. Once there is chaos in the country, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is good to cease the war now." choose."
Li Shimin's cheeks twitched slightly.
Good choice?
He has already lost to Du Qi, and it is still a good choice, it is so helpless.
However, it was Li Shimin who lost. For a while, Li Shimin felt depressed. It's just that Li Shimin didn't speak, but quietly waited for Li Yuan to continue.
Li Yuan continued: "Emperor, even if you did not confront Du Qi when you started a war, as long as you lead troops to go, or even arrange for Hou Junji to go, there is already a gap between you and Du Qi. At this time, you still let Du Qi go. In fact, it is not cost-effective. There are many reasons for killing a tiger and being injured by a tiger."
Li Shimin said: "This is impossible."
Li Shimin had nothing to do with the defeat in this war, because Du Qi was not easy to deal with.
Li Yuan continued: "Actually, it's not bad. The reason is very simple, because if this war really breaks out, it will easily affect the country and the people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty. There is no war right now, so it will not affect the people. Domestic The current situation will not be affected, so that we can continue to develop. Datang is really in the quagmire, and Datang will also be in crisis."
Li Shimin said: "The teachings of the father and emperor, the sons and ministers will keep them in mind."
Li Yuan changed the subject, stopped talking about domestic affairs, and said instead: "The news reported earlier said that Du Qi, a boy in the Western Regions, has gathered his strength in a short period of time. Now Du Qi really has a hundred thousand the crowd?"
"have!"
Li Shimin answered in the affirmative.
Immediately, Li Shimin continued: "Now this kid Du Qi has become a giant in the Western Regions. He is like a country like Goguryeo and Tubo, even stronger than Tubo and Goguryeo. Let Du Qi go to the Western Regions, but I will return home like a tiger." Mountain."
Li Yuan sighed: "Whatever the cause is, what the fruit is. You pampered Changsun Wuji, targeted Du Qi everywhere, and even treated Du Qi as a cash cow. Naturally, you are in today's situation. Emperor, if you are not on the side of an emperor Considering the problem from the perspective of Du Qi's elders, maybe Du Qi is still in Chang'an and still loyal to Datang."
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "This man, when he was an emperor, sometimes his rationality was good, but sometimes he was rarely confused, so he couldn't be too rational. The scale here is hard to grasp."
Li Shimin felt even worse when he heard these words.
I didn't think Li Yuan was enlightening him.
On the contrary, I feel that every sentence in these words reveals a mockery of him. Because Li Yuan had objected when he sent troops before, but Li Shimin insisted on going his own way to attack Du Qi, which led to the current situation.
Li Shimin took his leave without any further delay. After Li Shimin left, Tang Zhen hurried in again. He had a letter in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Governor Su."
Li Shimin took over and browsed quickly. When Li Shimin read the letter, he snorted with a dissatisfied expression.
Tang Zhendao: "Your Majesty, is there any news?"
Li Shimin said: "This kid Du Qi is really arrogant. He now dominates one side in the Western Regions, but now he has arranged for envoys to come to Chang'an to have an audience in person. According to Su Dingfang's report, Du Qi asked the envoys to come to the audience to inform Du Qili matter."
Tang Zhendao: "Du Qi is arrogant!"
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Du Qi is strong, and has already had a relationship with Tubo, especially Du Qi can control the situation of Tubo. So even if Du Qi arranges for envoys, there is no way."
After a pause, Li Shimin looked at Tang Zhen and ordered: "Tang Zhen, arrange someone to watch Ma Zhou."
"yes!"
Tang Zhen responded immediately.
After Li Shimin dealt with the government affairs, he went straight to the palace of the grandson Wugou in the harem. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?There is no way. "
