"I would like to inform my father that Goguryeo occupied our Liaodong region and repeatedly resisted our Central Plains army, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese people. This is actually a serious concern of our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that we should send troops to seize its city, destroy its country, and eliminate it as soon as possible.

Heir, to eliminate future troubles!"

As soon as Li Min's words came out, Wei Zheng and others secretly shook their heads, feeling that Li Min was too young and too short-sighted. Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart, thinking that although Li Min was smart enough, he lacked courage and courage.

, under the pressure of Li Shimin, he actually surrendered.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised. He thought that Li Min would oppose the conquest of Goguryeo like everyone else, but he didn't expect that he was the only one who supported him. This made Li Shimin, who was isolated and helpless, feel particularly gratified.

Li Min saw everyone's reactions one by one, but smiled secretly in his heart, and continued: "Father, although Goguryeo is a small country, because it is located in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and there are no major changes in the country now,

Therefore, it is not easy to fight. For this reason, I present here the 'Three Strategies of Ping Liao', hoping it can be of help to my father."

"Okay, you better know my heart. Please tell me your three plans for Ping Liao and let me listen to all the ministers." Li Shimin laughed at the case. It was not easy to find a supportive person. It seems that it is early.

I am so prepared that I even thought of a plan, and this person is my biological son. The ancients do not deceive me when it comes to saying that father and son are fighting in battle!

Fang Xuanling was hesitant. Could it be that Li Min was perfunctory with him yesterday, when in fact he had already made up his mind to support the attack on Goguryeo? But this does not make sense. Li Min is just an idle prince, how could he care about these military affairs? Other ministers

Then he sneered at Li Min's words. Li Min was just a fifteen-year-old boy, and he had never led an army or discussed politics before. How could he have any three strategies for Ping Liao? It was probably just superficial opinions at most.

"Yes, Father!" Li Min bowed to Li Shimin and everyone before saying: "My strategy for pacifying Liao is based on the actual situation of Goguryeo. It is divided into three strategies. The first strategy is to weaken the enemy:

Goguryeo is located in the east of Liaodong, and the land does not produce much. Every summer and autumn is a critical moment for their food harvest. At this time, the Tang Dynasty can send a small group of elites to harass the people, which will make the people tired of coping, delay the farming season, and at the same time blockade the Tang Dynasty from the

At the border of Goguryeo, food from the Tang Dynasty was strictly prohibited from flowing into Goguryeo. In a few years, Goguryeo's national power would be greatly damaged due to food shortages."

"Hiss~" Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers all took a breath after hearing Li Min's first strategy. Li Min's strategy was extremely vicious. There is a saying that 'food is the first priority for the people', if

If Li Min's evil plan is really implemented, it is estimated that in a few years, Goguryeo will not be greatly damaged, but will directly fall into civil strife and collapse. By then, the Tang Dynasty will send troops, and it is estimated that it can be pacified only by buying people's hearts with food.

Liaodong. He could come up with such a sophisticated plan at such a young age, which made Li Shimin and other civil and military officials have to look at Li Min with admiration.

Li Min was completely immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the reactions of Li Shimin and the civil and military officials. He continued: "The second strategy is called the strategy of alienation: Goguryeo is not a monolithic interior. In addition to King Rongliu, there are also

Many generals hold heavy troops and do not listen to the king's orders, and King Rongliu has always wanted to take back military power. We, the Tang Dynasty, can send agents into Goguryeo, either bribery or threats, to sow discord between King Rongliu and the powerful generals.

In order to achieve the purpose of dividing them, and even let them break out into civil strife, when the Tang Dynasty sends out a large army, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"The third strategy is to strengthen oneself: Liaodong is a land of bitter cold, especially in winter. If the army cannot conquer Goguryeo before winter, it will have to retreat and wait until the spring of next year to fight again. However, I heard that Gaochang's state-owned crops

It is called Bai Diazi, and its flowers are like catkins. It can not only be used to weave cloth, but also stuffed into clothes to make cotton clothes. It is warmer than fur. If it can be equipped in large quantities, soldiers will no longer have to fear Liaodong.

The bitter cold."

Li Min let out a sigh of relief after speaking. Fortunately, he liked history in his previous life and knew more about the glorious era of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, in his previous life, Bangzi Kingdom always clamored about what Goguryeo was doing, so Li Min paid special attention to it.

The history between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo is why we can talk about it at this critical moment. By the way, Goguryeo is not the ancestor of the Bangzi Kingdom, but the small country of Silla.

After listening to Li Min's three strategies for Ping Liao, Li Shimin and the ministers below looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what to say for a while. The last one was okay. They had also heard of Bai Diezi. There was a white cloth seller in Chang'an.

, I just didn’t expect that Baidianzi can also be used to make cotton-padded clothes to keep warm. But the first two strategies are more vicious than the other, and it can even be said that they are using any means to achieve their goals, although there is no benevolence and righteousness between countries.

, but the Tang Dynasty is a big country after all, and articles on the surface still need to be done, and even if they are done, there is no need to say it so explicitly, right?

However, Li Shimin and the officials also admitted that Li Min's first two strategies were indeed very good. Even if they failed to achieve the expected goals, they could still bring Goguryeo to a state of near death. If we send troops at that time, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Ahem~, what do you guys think?" Li Shimin was the first to react and asked the ministers below with some embarrassment. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about his son's two vicious tricks.

Li Min is only fifteen years old. Where did he learn these vicious methods?

"Your Majesty, I think your Highness's first strategy is feasible. Liaodong is a sparsely populated area. If you use a small group of elites to harass you, as long as you don't confront a large enemy force head-on, you can definitely overwhelm Goguryeo." Li Jing said first.

He stood up and spoke from a military perspective. He was a soldier. On the field, it was either life or death. He would do anything to win, so he admired Li Min's strategy very much.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Min with a profound look, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the old ministers have also heard about the matter of Goguryeo being crowned king. There are several great generals in the country headed by Quan Gaisuwen.

He holds a heavy army and is very disrespectful to King Rongliu. As the sovereign state of the Tang Dynasty, how can we let this kind of bullying go unnoticed? Therefore, the old minister felt that someone should be sent to contact King Rongliu to help him eradicate Gai Quansu.

Wen and others have restored a bright future to Goguryeo."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Min felt extremely ashamed. Educated people are different. Look at Fang Xuanling. She was clearly trying to sow discord, but when it came to his mouth, she became the suzerain and helped the vassal country to eradicate traitors. Li Shimin and

A group of civil servants listened with smiles, and it didn't matter if they were despicable, but they wanted to put a beautiful coat on the ugly despicableness. But the military generals sneered at this, and looked at Fang Xuanling with a look in their eyes.

despise.

"Hahaha~, the two dear friends are right, these two strategies are indeed feasible." Li Shimin laughed, but soon turned to Li Min and said: "Min'er, you are so young, you can have such insight, why?

My father is very pleased, but I also know that I have some of the white stacks you mentioned in my garden, but they are expensive and it is absolutely impossible to fill clothes with them as you said."

"Father, if it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Baidiezi is more drought-tolerant. There are many dry lands in the Tang Dynasty that cannot be cultivated. As long as the imperial court vigorously promotes it, the price will definitely drop in a few years.

, the flowers of Baidiezi can be used to weave cloth, and the seeds can also be pressed for oil, and the yield is large. If it can be planted in large quantities, it will be a good thing for both the country and the people."

"I didn't expect His Highness to know so much about mulberry farming. I really feel ashamed! I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to vigorously promote the planting of Baidiezi." Fang Xuanling came forward and said in a fun tone, and even secretly glanced at Li

After a startled look, it seemed that he had understood Li Min's intention.

"Hahaha~, okay! Of course I will vigorously promote such a thing that benefits the country and the people." Li Shimin's mood has improved now, and he doesn't know where to throw the anger just now.

"Eh~? No, there is something wrong with the three Ping Liao strategies!" Li Shimin, who was in high spirits, suddenly froze. He realized that he seemed to have been fooled, and was deceived by his own son. Li Min's Ping Liao

Although the three strategies are good, they all have a common shortcoming, that is, they take too long. Whether it is harassing tired enemies or sowing discord, the results cannot be seen in a short time, and the white stack is even less necessary.

Having said that, it is estimated that it will take at least three or four years from promotion to real practical application.

"Hmph, what a hard-to-get player, Liu Lang, you are young, but you are very clever." After thinking about this, Li Shimin snorted angrily and said coldly.

"Father, what are you talking about, 'play hard to get'? I really can't understand?" Li Min opened his big innocent eyes and refused to admit it. Although Li Shimin looked very angry on the surface, Li Min knew that Comrade Li did not

He was not really angry, and had already decided to adopt his strategy and gave up his plan to send troops to conquer Goguryeo in the near future.

Li Shimin saw Li Min acting like a rogue. Although he had the same demeanor as before, when he thought of being tricked by his own son, he really couldn't save his face. He came to Li Min angrily and kicked him hard.

Li shook his butt, and then shouted loudly: "You are too young to act like a rogue in front of me!"

In this ancient society that pays attention to ethics, it is a matter of course for me to beat my son. Li Min didn't even dare to hide. He was kicked hard, and then he could only look at his emperor father with an aggrieved face: There is no such thing in feudal society.

Regarding human rights, we finally came up with three clever ideas, and they were adopted. However, not only did we not receive any reward, but we also received a kick. What kind of world is this?

Fang Xuanling, who had long understood his intentions, was twitching his beard and smiling. There was not a single stupid person present. They all reacted immediately. They all had a good impression of Li Min. Look at Li Min's aggrieved expression after being kicked.

Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing. The relationship between monarch and ministers before the Song Dynasty was not as hierarchical as after the Song Dynasty. For example, the ministers usually sat like the emperor, and they spoke more casually. It was common to make jokes.

As long as they don't do things too much, Yu Shixian won't have the pain to impeach them for the crime of "disrespect."

After all, Li Shimin was a British leader. Although he was eager to conquer Goguryeo, the strategy proposed by Li Min was not only safe, but also more effective than directly using an army to conquer. With such a clever strategy, he would certainly adopt it, although it took a little longer.

But compared with the cost of the army's conquest, it was definitely of high quality and low price. So Li Shimin immediately discussed the implementation details of Li Min's plan with the ministers. Seeing that Li Shimin had changed his mind, Fang Xuanling and the others were very worried.

Cooperate, compete to express their opinions and ideas, and complete Li Min's three strategies. Among them, Bai Diezi will choose wasteland around Chang'an for trial planting. One is to accumulate experience, and the other is to cultivate more seeds to prepare for the coming year.

Large-scale promotion.

Li Min had no say in these matters. After Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling finished discussing it, Li Shimin did not end the meeting directly. Instead, he turned to Li Min and said: "Liu Lang, you first presented the method of making cement.

Today, I present the three strategies of Ping Liao. Both are great achievements. Of course, you should be rewarded for your merits! However, as a prince, ordinary rewards are not suitable for you, so I want to ask you what you want first. As long as it is your father.

The emperor can give you, and your father will never be stingy."

Hearing Li Shimin's generous promise, Li Min was overjoyed. When he was baking cement, he already had a vague plan in mind. After careful consideration over the past few days, a rather huge plan had appeared in his mind.

In his hands, if this plan can succeed, it will not only have an extremely important impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, but also can unite a large number of people tightly around him with interest groups, greatly increasing the strength of Prince Liang's Mansion. But this

The plan has a very critical prerequisite, and it needs Li Shimin's nod. Now is a good opportunity to propose it.
