At this time, Fang Xuanling raised an objection, "Han Xiangfang just mentioned that now that winter has arrived, Liaodong is cold and frozen, and our soldiers lack warm clothes, Your Highness can have a solution."
Li Mu replied: "In the past few years, the planting of cotton white stacks in Jiangnan Province has been quite effective, and there are 300,000 sets of cotton clothes and pants in the warehouse.
Fang Xuanling arched his hands and retreated silently.
Seeing that everyone had no other objections, Li Shimin said: "Since the regent has a plan, and I don't feel inappropriate after hearing it, then do it according to the regent's wishes." ” Li Shimin's words made the whole battle.
Although the two sides were opposed, they finally reached a consensus of views when they encountered foreign invaders.
The giant wheel of the Tang War slowly turned from this moment.
After Li Mu and the others retired, Fang Xuanling was left behind by Li Shimin.
"Xuan Ling, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you should know that my life's wish is to pacify Liaodong.
Now that the division is famous, it can not only flatten Goguryeo in one fell swoop, but also expand the territory and touch the land of the Yan Dynasty.
If Li Mu succeeds in the battle this time, won't he just give the great credit to others In this way, his momentum will be even greater, and I am afraid that even I will have to concede three points at that time. ” Li Shimin really wants to conquer in person, which is extremely tempting for an emperor who is famous for his battles.
Fang Xuanling sighed lightly: "The minister naturally cares about His Majesty's thoughts.
But has Your Majesty ever thought about it, this battle is really so easy to win Your Majesty's two Northern Expeditions, you should know the difficulty of Pingliao, the terrain is not familiar, the local people regard the Tang Army as a Kou, and it is winter, the time, place, and people are all on the enemy's side, how difficult it is to win. ” Li Shimin said: "There can be the help of heaven and thunder, and attacking the city is like exploring the bag and taking things." ” Fang Xuanling said: "It is true that the heavenly thunder is helpful for the siege of the city, but it is not as powerful as imagined.
A fortified city, such as Anshi Prefecture, which His Majesty had not conquered for several months, may still be difficult to conquer with the thunder alone. ” Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "Then why does Xuan Ling still agree with Li Mu's invitation to fight?"
Fang Xuanling sighed: "The minister is all for the sake of Your Majesty and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty."
Now Li Mugui is the regent, and his power has faint signs of overshadowing the Son of Heaven.
The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, isn't Your Majesty worried that one day, Li Mu will repeat the scene of Xuanwumen?"
Li Shimin was secretly frightened when he heard this, he was not worried, but chose to raise his light and accumulate strength secretly.
Fang Xuanling continued: "Even if Li Mu is jealous of His Majesty's prestige, he has no intention of usurping the throne and standing on his own.
But the ministers who followed His Majesty at the beginning are getting old one by one, and His Majesty will always have a day when he can't bear to speak, the prince is young, how to resist Li Mu, the powerful minister, and the former minister is His Majesty, the prince and the society, and adopts the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf.
If Li Mu can win, it will also be a miserable victory, even if he has a higher prestige, but he has lost his troops and lost the strength to compete with His Majesty.
If Li Mu is defeated, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the second echelon under His Majesty's command will just make up for it, picking ready-made fruits, not only to get outstanding military merits, but also to punish Li Mu for his fiasco.
Giving and taking are all in the mind of His Majesty. ” Li Shimin nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "Talking to Xuan Ling is really like reading a book for ten years."
For a while, I only thought about the outstanding military exploits of pacifying Liaodong, and I was dizzy.
By the way, I was thinking that if I cut off the grain during the war. ” "Nope."
Fang Xuanling said hurriedly, "Your Majesty must not do this, not only can you not do it, but you can't even think about it."
Even if Li Mu is disobedient and overpowered, but this battle is a battle for the country, a battle for the country, a battle for the country, Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, must not do this means, to spread it, how to deal with the world's Youyoukou Your Majesty should keep in mind the lesson of Liu Xun's leak before. ” Li Shimin coughed dryly, "I didn't mean that, I just said it casually." ” "You don't joke."
"Okay, Aiqing's golden and jade good words, I know that I am wrong." 。
Compared with Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, the two played calmly.
Li Mu was "besieged".
Wei Zheng's anger was already uncontrollable, he took off his clothes and crowned and said angrily, "Your Highness can decide such a major matter with one word, and you want us to wait for the ministers to be the ministers and ask for their resignation tomorrow, and the beggar bones are the bones." ” Han Zhongliang sighed and complained, "Draining the army under the control of His Royal Highness Chang'an is obviously digging your own grave." ” Ma Zhou mended the knife and said: "If Your Majesty wants, Your Highness will leave, and we will be like fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by others."
It's better to say goodbye to His Highness today, resign and return to their hometowns, and maybe they can still leave a way to live. ” Chu Suiliang is new, and his words are more tactful, "The minister is thinking, if His Royal Highness leads the army outside, in case Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen cut off the food and grass of the army, how will His Highness deal with it, and besides, His Royal Highness will send Li Tao, Su Dingfang and others to fight, why do you want to fight in person Your Highness is sitting in Chang'an, and maybe you can contain Your Majesty, but once Your Highness leaves Beijing, there will be no one in the capital to restrain Your Majesty." ” Li Mu can ignore Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, and Han Zhongliang, because these three people have a lot of complaints, almost a small quarrel on the third day, and a big quarrel on the fifth day.
But Chu Suiliang was newly attached, and Li Mu had to give him some face.
Li Mu said: "Chu Servant has been worried.
His Majesty's temperament will not do anything to cut off the army's military rations, even if he wants to, with Fang Xuanling's intentions, he will not agree, and will try his best to discourage him.
Besides, hundreds of thousands of troops are out of food, and Your Majesty will no longer face me, but the anger of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. ” Li Mu got up, walked to Chu Suiliang, looked at him and said, "As for why Lone personally led his troops across the sea to rescue Xiong Jin.
In fact, Lone has two purposes.
First of all, whether Silla will cooperate or not, and to what extent it will cooperate, needs to be negotiated alone.
Secondly, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, will be recalled to Chang'an by His Majesty in the future for reuse, Gu has him in the past, plus he personally led the troops to rescue this time, even if he does not help Gu in the future, he will not be against Lone.
In the end, all the princes understand that now that Your Majesty and I have reached a stalemate, to break the deadlock, there must be changes, if you are alone in the capital, Your Majesty will not move, and without action, you will not make mistakes.
I chose to leave the capital, just to let Your Majesty have enough room to show, the so-called more wrong things, only when Your Majesty makes mistakes, I can have great righteousness. ” Actually, Li Mu didn't say another reason.
That is, all the troops under his command were transferred to Liaodong, and it was not safe for him to stay in Chang'an.
Of course, this cannot be said.
Li Mu's words refreshed the four people's perception of Li Mu
