Chapter 206 Planning
Jinyang City South Schoolyard.
The newly recruited tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in the sky. These soldiers were all the people who fled from the northern county after Liu Wu and Zhou defeated them. These people had always lived in border counties and had a strong custom. Many of them had conquered the Turks at the beginning, so they could become an elite soldier after a little training.
After watching the exercise, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and went from above to the general platform to Li Shimin behind him, saying, "I am so pleased that you have mastered your skills."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Is it because of Zhaoren and Hongji's help, how can a child succeed?"
Li Yuan raised his horse whip and knocked Li Shimin's shoulder armor, saying, "Good training is not the same as being good at the battle. I will observe your soldiers practicing their steps and alienate the battle formation. Why is this? The battle formation is the key to facing the enemy."
Li Shimin said solemnly: "Kids remember."
Li Yuan asked, "Then I will test you, Wuhou Bachen, are you familiar with it?"
Li Shimin heard this and said, "The child doesn't know."
Li Yuan said: "The Huangdi military strategy has four strange, four, and eight formations. The general is in the center, and eight formations are arranged in all directions, with the names of heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes. Wu Hou took this to create eight formations, do you understand?"
Li Shimin said: "When Ma Long attacked Liangzhou, he started with a box truck, and started with the Eight Formations. Later, Wuhou of Shu Han was just inherited. In fact, the Eight Formations were not mysterious."
Li Yuan heard the words and said, "Don't make a big splash with children, do you dare to laugh at Zhuge Wuhou?"
Li Shimin said seriously: "The so-called eight formations are based on the method of the well fields. One field is divided into nine by four paths, and the eight families surround each other to take one field, and the middle is a public field. The same is true for the eight formations. The general is in the middle, and the outer eight formations are divided into eight formations to meet the enemy with a square formation. The acquisition is also a tic-shaped tone. Later generations mysteriously and mysteriously use the name of the Eight Secrets to make the eight formations far-fetched. In fact, there is no mysterious place."
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Young children have a lot of poems, then I ask you, why don't you use the eight formations to face the enemy?"
Li Shimin said: "The child defeats the enemy with strange and righteousness."
Li Yuan heard the words and said, "To be careful, if I don't do it, I will not regard you as a general if I send troops in the future."
After hearing this, Li Shimin said, "When using troops first, then strange, first benevolent and righteous, then deceitful. There is an old saying that the right soldiers are ordered by the king, and the strange soldiers are ordered by the general. The father sets up the formation with a dignified and upright formation to meet the enemy, while the child changes with a strange and powerful force. This is to use the right military strategy to achieve the right victory."
Li Yuan nodded slowly after hearing this, and said in praise: "It's really the thousand-mile horse of my Li family! Among my four sons, Jiancheng has no plans but no courage, Yuan Ji has no plans but no courage, Yuan Ba has no courage, but you are both wise and brave. It seems that you can entrust with important responsibilities in the future and lead the army as your father and stand alone."
Li Shimin said, "Sir, Yuan Ji, Yuan Ba is still too young and can teach him. Besides, if you talk about the talent of leading troops and generals, the third sister is not inferior to Shimin."
As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Yuan was full of joy, but in an instant, he turned from sunny to darkness. He suddenly snorted heavily, shook his sleeves, and said, "What do you think of this unfilial daughter? Since you have been to Xijing, don't come back to me for the rest of your life."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Although the third sister made her own decisions, she has not been elopement since she arrived in Xijing. Besides, she pleaded for the champion Hou. Isn't it true that she is affectionate and righteous?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he said in a slight and angrily: "She doesn't know who she looks like. Since she was born in a family, she must know the reason why she cannot decide on the marriage by herself. She must focus on the prosperity of the family. No matter how much she values friendship, she must be behind the family."
Li Yuan said this and said, "The big thing is imminent now, and you and I must not take it lightly. If the matter is leaked, the first thing that will be your elder brother, Sanniang, Yuan Ji, and Chai Shao in Xijing. As for Wang Wei and Gao Junya, I think they are determined. They are not on the same journey as us. We must try to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
Li Shimin said, "Sir, Wang Wei, and Gao Junya are all important officials. If you don't have a good reputation, you can't touch them."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Just say they are just colluding with the Turks. As for the other Taiyuan officials, if they can win over, they can win over, and if they cannot win over, they will not be enemies with us, they will persuade each other and not fight for a while. In addition, Cangcheng, the arsenal must be controlled by the trusted people. Once a gathering of righteousness, the warehouse can be opened to provide relief to the poor, and the weapons of the arsenal will be used to equip the army immediately. As for this newly recruited army, you and Zhaoren and Hongji must be closely watched. The generals can arrange for their own Qujunta to serve. In short, the military power must be taken in your hands."
Li Shimin said, "What about Turks, Liu Wuzhou, Li Chongjiu, and Li Mi?"
After Li Yuan put his hands on his back, he said, "The Turks are the strong enemies in the future. You can't fight with them now. I have already written a letter to surrender Shibi Khan, and I want to come here without worries. Once the Turks go, Liu Wuzhou will go. As for Li Chongjiu."
When Li Yuan mentioned this name, a complicated look flashed on his face and said, "Send Yin Kaishan to go there again and tell him that if he wants, we can still be the father-in-law and son-in-law."
Li Shimin said, "From my understanding, Li Chongjiu should not agree. He refused to marry and added another matter to Jinyang Palace. I'm afraid no one can forget it."
Li Yuan's beard shook slightly when he heard this, and said, "It's okay if he doesn't agree. I just want to stabilize him. Could it be that he really marry a daughter? Besides, his power is still too weak now. Anyone of Xue Shixiong, Song Jingang, and Liu Wuzhou can control him, and it's not worth worrying."
Li Shimin sighed in his heart when he heard this.
"As for Pushan Gong, it's not easy." Li Yuan looked a little embarrassed.
Li Shimin said: "Li Mi was the descendant of the Li family of Zhaojun, and now he has the help of Shandong's anti-kings. His power is likely to win the world."
Li Yuanyan said: "Yes, after I was uprising, I was not afraid of the court or anyone else. All I feared was the Turks and Li Mi."
"At present, Li Mi's troops are all in Hebei. If we take Henei and enter Guanzhong, then our plan to take Guanzhong will fail. If Li Mi does not take Guanzhong and instead manage Hebei and Shandong, then if I take Guanzhong in the future, our two families will divide the world and repeat the battle for hegemony between Zhou and Qi in the previous dynasty. Therefore, the only way is to let Li Mi go to Henan and enter the Eastern Capital. In this way, the court's troops in Xijing will not be able to go out to rescue Dongdu, so Guanzhong will be empty, so Li Mi must go south to attack Dongdu."
Li Shimin said, "Sir, Li Mi is so slim. I don't think he will be as we wish."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "You said that because you don't know Li Mi. I had a lot of friendship with Li Mi when I was in Dongdu. He called himself a child of Wuling. How could I not know what kind of person he was?"
