Seven hundred and fortieth eight chapters again Yin Li Shimin
Speaking of Li Shimin, not only the soldiers of the Tang army respected him very much, but even the soldiers of the Zhao army attached great importance to him. The last time when they attacked Luoyang, the Zhao army and Li Shimin had two brief confrontations. Li Shimin caused the Zhao army to suffer a small loss.
Xu Shiji continued: "You must know that this time when Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, the generals of Tiance Prefecture under Li Shimin did not go out to fight. Moreover, the generals close to Li Shimin in the army were also rejected by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Among these people, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Jinda and others were all famous generals of Li Tang."
"In the last battle to attack Wang Shichong, they all showed excellence, and they were not in the formation. I think the combat effectiveness of the Tang army has dropped by more than one level. Now that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's defeat, Li Yuan will not let these two sons lead troops again, and Li Yuan cannot leave Chang'an at all times, so if you want to let the trusted general command the war, only Li Shimin will choose."
"Then the day when Li Shimin recovers, General Li Yuan will grant him the power of General Li Yuan. Then these powerful generals of the Tiance Mansion will inevitably follow Li Shimin to fight. At that time, the strength of the Tang army may be even more difficult to deal with. We must not be careful of this."
Listening to Xu Shiji's analysis, Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, since Li Shimin started his army in Jinyang, he has never won any defeat. He has never lost even when fighting with our army. The Tang army regarded him as his confidence in undefeated. In the future, we will fight against Li Tang, and this person must be the enemy who will do his best to fight."
In the Li Tang army, because of the failure of defeat, Li Shimin also had a mythical halo. This confidence could make the soldiers under his command develop a blind confidence and form a high morale. Just like the soldiers under Xiang Yu and Chen Qingzhi back then.
"Your Majesty. It is said that Li Shimin was not completely defeated. When he was in Sensuwon, he was defeated by Xue Ju. However, he found someone Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan to scapegoat. This matter is not a top secret among the senior officials of Li Tang. Speaking of it, it is not a top-notch defense in the army that he has won all kinds of victories." Ji Chuan said on the side, which was quite a bit like digging out Li Shimin's history.
Moreover, Ji Chuan said endlessly, and Ji Chuan said: "Li Shimin was not only defeated, but also slaughtered the army. At the beginning of the Hedong chaos, Lu Chongmao led his army to occupy Xia County and defeated the Tang army Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, Liu Shirang and others in succession. Finally, Li Shimin sent generals Sang Xianhe to attack Xia County, and then Lu Chongmao was defeated by surrendering to Tang. But Lu Chongmao rebelled again shortly after surrendering to Tang. Li Shimin was furious and led his army to capture Xia County. Afterwards, he slaughtered all the men, women, young and old in the county, without leaving a single living mouth. Li Yuan had blamed Li Shimin several times for this matter. Even in the court, he did not leave any face for Li Shimin. Later, Li Shimin promised Li Yuan that he would not make this mistake again, and he led his army to win consecutive battles, so this matter gradually became forgotten."
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh. Li Shimin was ruthless and ruthless. In another time and space, when Li Shimin and Liu Heita fought against Mingshui, they suddenly ordered people to dig out Mingshui during the decisive battle between the two armies. The flood hit the enemy and our army that were fighting. After flooding Liu Heita's main force, Li Shimin led the elite counterattack and finally defeated Liu Heita. This battle was talked about by later generations, but Li Shimin did not distinguish between enemies and us, and no one objected to the matter of flooding the two families.
Of course, most of the above-mentioned black history of Li Shimin has been selected for being forgotten in the long river. As for the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin simply told the historian that he would change the floating poems and write the matter directly. As for how to write the matter directly, it is to understand this human tragedy by various means. Anyway, everyone just need to remember that Li Shimin fought against Xue Ju, destroyed Song Jingang, defeated Wang Shichong, captured Dou Jiande, defeated Liu Heita, unified the world, swept the East and West Turks, and swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.
When Ji Chuan talked about Li Shimin's massacre of the city, Shan Xiongxin said, "Several of those who have been generals have clean hands and feet. If you want to be a woman and learn the benevolence of Confucianism, don't be a general and become an official."
Ji Chuan was furious when he heard this and started arguing with Shan Xiongxin in the hall.
Li Chongjiu stopped the two of them from arguing, and Xue Wanche said very fairly: "We don't think anything about Li Shimin's massacre of the city. As for Li Shimin's defeat to Xue Ju, it is just a rumor and there is no definite evidence. In a certain eye, Li Shimin is at least a famous general who has never been defeated and is the number one enemy of our army. There is no doubt that you must be very careful when fighting with this person in the future."
At this time, Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, since Li Shimin is so powerful, then we should let Li Yuan not use Li Shimin."
When the generals heard Zhang Xuansu say this, they stretched their ears and showed a look of listening carefully.
Wang Mahan said carelessly: "Mr. Zhang, you are so light-hearted, but Li Yuan has reached this point, so why didn't he activate Li Shimin? Could it be that you have any solutions?"
Zhang Xuansu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, generals, in fact, we are worried about Li Shimin's recovery, not only Li Shimin alone, but also Tiance Mansion, which has a lot of talents, has also been a few advisers such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Therefore, we must stop Li Shimin from recovering, and at the same time, we will stop these people from working for Li Tang."
After hearing this, the generals nodded. The Tiance Mansion was Li Shimin. He opened the government and built the yamen and recruited talents. If Li Shimin was suppressed, these people would not be reused.
Wang Mahan said: "Mr. Zhang, don't keep it a secret. Just say it directly, it will make me feel good."
Zhang Xuansu smiled and looked at everyone and said, "We all think that after Li Tang failed to attack Luoyang, he would definitely use Li Shimin in order to reverse the situation. But do you dare to ask Li Tang, including Li Yuan, who also thinks so? They will definitely use Li Shimin?"
Xue Wanshu pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang said that he was in Luoyang and knew the most about the situation in the Li Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. There have been rumors in the Li Tang Dynasty that Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son were in disagreement. You think if Li Yuan really wanted to use Li Shimin as the commander, then he would not come to Heyang in person this time, but sent Li Shimin to Heyang to lead troops."
"Yes, Li Yuan personally led the army, which means he had no general at hand." Xu Shiji agreed.
Li Chongjiu said: "The most taboo thing in ancient times when using troops was that the king and the general were suspicious, so there was a saying that the general was not accepting the orders of the king outside. The last time he fought against Wang Shichong, a rift between Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son seemed to be not so easy to make up for."
Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty is exactly what the empress meant is. Since Li Yuan is suspicious of Li Shimin, he can guess that if Li Shimin is not sent to order troops this time, if Li Yuan wins this battle, he may be happy, and the father and son may be relieved of the past, but if he loses this battle, Li Yuan may not blame himself in his heart, but instead blame Li Shimin. You must know that Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng because of this!"
Seeing a cold light in Zhang Xuansu's eyes, the generals present who understood this allusion were all cold in their hearts. Tian Feng was an important counselor of Yuan Shao, and before the Battle of Guandu, he advised Yuan Shao to leave, but was imprisoned by Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao was defeated by Guandu, he killed Tian Feng instead.
Li Chongjiu looked at Xue Wanshu and said, "You immediately cooperated with the people from Fengwensi and sent Xiaozuo to Chang'an overnight to spread the news, saying that after Li Yuan retreated from Heyang, Li Shimin told the generals of Tiance Prefecture in the mansion that it was true that Li Tang did not have me, Li Shimin, and there was no general to fight. The defeat of Heyang was already as expected."
Xue Wanshu clasped his fists and said, "No."
When the generals heard this plan, they felt cold in their hearts and took a breath. This plan was really sinister.
For example, Wang Mahan said, "Although Li Shimin is annoying, he is also a good general and cannot defeat him in a dignified manner. This method is too much."
After hearing what Wang Mahan said, all the generals didn't care.
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "I just want to let Li Shimin have no chance to fight Zhen on the battlefield. Xuan Su, do you think Li Yuan will be trapped?"
Zhang Xuansu smiled and said confidently: "It's hard to say whether Li Yuan will fall into a trap, but I think the prince of Li Tang and the King of Qi will help us, right?"
After hearing what Zhang Xuansu said, Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu both smiled with understanding. Ji Chuan, who was beside him, said coldly: "In my opinion, Li Shimin is in trouble this time."
Li Chongjiu said: "If you want to defeat the Tang army, you can't see whether Li Shimin is in trouble. Conspiracy and tricks are just means. To really defeat the Tang army, it depends on the power of our army. Otherwise, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are, it will be useless."
All the generals heard this and clasped their fists and took the order.
After the military discussion, Xue Wanshu stayed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, so I want to recite it alone."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes."
After the generals left, Xue Wanshu said: "Your Majesty, after this battle, not only our army defended Luoyang, but also his Majesty won the hearts of the people of Luoyang, and the people also support Your Majesty very much. As far as I know, not only Luoyang, but also the people of the counties in Henan are also inclined to our Da Zhao. So I asked Your Majesty if you have any plans to move the capital to Luoyang?"
Xue Wanshu said this, for Li Chongjiu, it was another long talk about the old tune.
When Li Chongjiu entered Luoyang before, a small episode happened. Dozens of Luoyang scholars stopped Li Chongjiu's war horses in the street and jointly submitted a letter to Li Chongjiu.
