Chapter 197
"The decision I made is that once the golden mouth is opened, it will be hard to chase. How can it be easily changed? Don't you think of me as the emperor?"
What Li Shimin said was serious.
All the generals wanted Li Shimin to go to Li Hao to repair the relationship.
But what Li Shimin said was reprimanding them, these generals, for having offended the emperor and disregarding the majesty of the emperor.
These generals dare not accept such charges.
Everyone hastily said:
"I dare not wait!"
Li Shimin saw that these generals were quite sensible, so he didn't pursue further, and said:
"That's all, you are also unintentional, and I will naturally not punish you."
Although the generals became more respectful on their faces, they sighed softly in their hearts.
Your Majesty's appearance is no longer that of accepting advice humbly.
Back then, these courtiers said whatever they had, and got into a mess with His Majesty, and His Majesty didn't say anything.
Today I just tried to persuade you with good words, but His Majesty couldn't accept it.
It doesn't even feel as approachable as Li Hao.
All the generals felt in their hearts that they were a little unfamiliar with Li Shimin.
Seeing that all the generals are here, Li Shimin said:
"Just in time, I have an important matter. The letter just came, the news from Liang Shidu, the Eastern Turkic side has lost another battle, and Liang Shidu, who has been relying on the Eastern Turkic, has no one to cover it now. This is the opportunity to take advantage of! I want to attack Liang Shidu!"
All the generals nodded upon hearing this.
Yes, this timing is indeed the best timing to attack Liang Shidu.
Liang Shidu is the hero of the Diaoyin separatist regime. He rebelled against the Sui Dynasty a few years ago and is one of the many separatist forces in the world.
Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Liang Shidu surrendered to the Eastern Turks and was protected by the Eastern Turks.
Liang Shidu and Eastern Turks have been attacking Datang all the time. On that day, Jieli Khan attacked Datang and threatened Chang'an, and Liang Shidu was among them.
Later, Li Shimin wanted to recruit Liang Shidu and sent envoys there, but all the envoys had their ears cut off and returned.
Master Liang not only refused to surrender, but even humiliated Li Shimin.
This made Li Shimin very angry.
However, Liang Shidu is a separatist force after all, so Li Shimin's eyes are mainly focused on the East Turks.
With the current strength and the experience of the last defeat, Li Shimin does not want to attack the Eastern Turks for the time being.
But at this time, it should be easy to wipe out the small country of Liang Shidu.
It should be difficult for the East Turks to mobilize any troops to help others. Now that the East Turks are suffering from a rebellion, it is good that they can maintain their khanate without collapse. How can they mobilize any troops.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji took a step forward and said:
"Although Liang Shidu is small and weak, there are tens of thousands of troops after all. We will have to fight hard when we go on an expedition in the Tang Dynasty."
"I don't know what His Majesty thinks about it?"
"There should be some kind of strategy that can weaken Liang Shidu first."
Li Shimin nodded.
"What Changsun Aiqing said is very true. Although the Tang Dynasty has lost troops and lost generals, although there are many ways to strengthen the country, it will take time. Before we go out this time, we still have to find a way to make Liang Shi all mess up on their own. Otherwise we will let our soldiers bleed a lot."
"Everyone, what can you do?"
Generals, you look at me, and I look at you.
Some people came up with several ideas, but they were all military ideas, which were not satisfactory.
In the end, Changsun Wuji, who was still in the prime minister, said:
"Your Majesty, why don't we come up with a countermeasure and drive a wedge between Liang Shidu and his subordinates."
"We are more powerful, presumably Liang Shidu's subordinates should also be able to feel the crisis. We should use this sense of crisis as a breakthrough to make Liang Shidu's subordinates feel rebellious."
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"As expected of eldest grandson Aiqing, she immediately spoke to my heart, and I thought so too."
"When I go to the Tang Dynasty, the men of Liang Shidu must be panicked. As long as they have the intention of rebelling, they will definitely weaken Liang Shidu's combat power. When the time comes, our army will be able to take down Liang Shidu without any effort Master!"
All the generals bowed together.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Okay, all you lovers, step down, auxiliary machine, you stay for a while, let's discuss how to use countermeasures."
……
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji discussed the use of anti-indirect tactics, and then sent envoys to sneak into the Diaoyin area to contact Liang Shidu's men.
And let Xiazhou Sima Liu Lancheng tentatively attack Liang Shidu, capture his soldiers as prisoners, and then put them back.
Let these soldiers spread rumors to confuse Liang Shidu's military spirit.
Then, let Liu Lancheng trample on Liang Shidu's fields, making Liang Shidu run out of food.
These kinds of measures are all superior policies.
Li Shimin believed that Liang Shidu's subordinate Liu Zhengbao and others would definitely rebel against Liang Shidu.
At that time, Master Liang will be troubled both internally and externally, and will surely perish!
A few days later.
Diaoyin area.
Liang Shidu Mansion.
Liu Zhengbao was already preparing to team up with other generals to tie up Liang Shidu and donate Liang Shidu's head to Datang.
In this way, he, Liu Zhengbao, has a certificate of merit and can do well in Datang.
If he didn't surrender directly, he, Liu Zhengbao, would be just an idler, and his salary in this life would be very low.
Anyway, they are going to surrender, why not sell it for a good price.
But Liu Zhengbao hadn't succeeded in his actions yet, Master Liang was worthy of being a hero of the generation, able to fight against Datang for such a long time.
He actually discovered Liu Zhengbao's actions and directly chased Liu Zhengbao out of the country.
Liu Zhengbao had to flee!
Liu Zhengbao planned to run towards Datang.
However, there are chasing soldiers behind, and the predicted direction of the chasing soldiers is the direction of Datang.
Since Liu Zhengbao colluded with Datang, Liang Shidu naturally sent more pursuers in the direction of Datang to block Liu Zhengbao.
no way.
Liu Zhengbao could only run in another direction.
Get rid of the pursuers first, and then find a way to go to Datang.
Although he didn't get any credit this time, he can only spend the rest of his life in Datang, but it's better than being slaughtered by the soldiers of Datang!
Shortly after.
Liu Zhengbao felt that the pursuers behind him seemed to have been thrown away.
Going to take a break for a while.
Even if the person is not tired, the horse under his crotch has reached a critical point. The endurance of the horse is not as good as that of a person, and it cannot withstand such a high-intensity continuous gallop.
Just when Liu Zhengbao had just dismounted, he hadn't stayed in the shade for long, and only drank a sip or two of water.
Suddenly Liu Zhengbao heard the sound of horseshoes behind him!
No way!
Liu Zhengbao hurriedly looked behind him, only to see that Liang Shidu's cavalry was still chasing him!
This made Liu Zhengbao's blood rush to the top of his head!
Terrified!
Master Liang is so persistent in pursuit!
He even calculated the opposite direction of the Tang Dynasty, the location to the East Turks, and the net of heaven and earth was to stop Liu Zhengbao.
Liu Zhengbao got on his horse quickly!
Then he slapped the horse's ass and galloped away!
But it didn't work.
The horse rested only for a short while, not enough to recover its strength at all.
