Xue Rengui said: "I want to go to Taizhou this time. I will send troops from Taizhou and take ships directly to the Japanese country, and let the soldiers destroy the Japanese defenses! Capture the emperor! Make the Japanese country unsustainable. Finally, the crisis in the northeast will be resolved!"
A few short words from Xue Rengui.
Li Shimin was shocked.
Why? Because the idea is very clear!
I really didn't expect that Xue Rengui thought so.
He sighed: "This combat strategy is really feasible, that's great! Why haven't I thought about it before? Why haven't I thought about starting from the sea before? You know, Japanese pirates are also in the ocean!"
Yes, Li Shimin never thought about it before. He just defended blindly and did not take the initiative to attack. Although there is heavy snow in the north, there is no ice and snow in the south.
If we had set out by land, then taken a boat from the south, and then attacked the Japanese country.
Once there, the Japanese will inevitably send their troops back, and when they send their troops back, the alliance they established with Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries will collapse.
If their alliance collapses, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Datang.
Datang could even take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
Go directly to the northeast and occupy Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries.
Finally, occupy all these countries and teach them a lesson! See if they still dare to mess around.
In fact, at that time
Therefore, Li Shimin was in a good mood.
And he was very proud, because of Xue Rengui! The more he looked at Xue Rengui, the more satisfied he became!
"Xue Rengui, I am so lucky to have you as a general!"
This is the greatest affirmation for Xue Rengui.
But Xue Rengui did not dare to enjoy this honor alone.
That's what Li Min thought of.
But he said it himself.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
If he doesn't say it himself, Li Min can't even say it.
As soon as he said that, Li Shimin was afraid that he would have random thoughts.’’
Therefore, there is nothing we can do about these things.
Take it, Li Min may have a plan, and he can't say it, otherwise it will ruin his plan!
So, he said: "Your Majesty, I am just doing what I should do as a courtier. It is what a man should do! It is my honor that I can solve your majesty's troubles and serve the people of the world."
"Very good, very good! You are a good kid. You actually know how to be modest and work hard for the Tang Dynasty. This makes me very happy! I will definitely not treat you badly! You will share the prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty!"
Then, Li Shimin said: "But it's too little for you to go alone. This is not in line with the duties of a consort at all, and it will also let outsiders see that there is no one in our Tang Dynasty! Therefore, I promise you ten
The general and three thousand soldiers and horses are with you. If it's not enough, you can just say it, it's okay! I will definitely satisfy you!"
Li Shimin wants ten generals to join 3,000 people?
The general must be a strong man with strong force. The soldiers must be a powerful army!
Although this is a good thing, Xue Rengui cannot be with them.
After all, the more people there are, the more secrets will be exposed. Moreover, these generals can be said to be Li Shimin's spies. How can we let them be together?
Li Lizhi said: "Yes, with the generals together, we feel more at ease."
Xue Rengui must have refused.
So he said: "Your Majesty, it's not necessary. It's not good to have too many people. It's enough for one person, so I don't need to be sent to prevent the news from being leaked. When the time comes, after I arrive in Taizhou, I can let the Taizhou army go to the Japanese country together."
Furthermore, the people in Taizhou are all seaside people and are familiar with the properties of water. But the generals in Chang'an may not be familiar with the properties of water. When the time comes, it will not be effective, so I think it is enough for one person to go there!"
What Xue Rengui said seems to make sense.
He definitely didn't dare to say that he was with Li Min, because he was afraid that Li Shimin would overthink it.
Li Shimin has no solution.
"Then let's do this. Since you don't want to, then I will allow you to have a hundred Xuanjia troops with you! How about letting them protect your safety?"
This can be regarded as a step back for Li Shimin.
Speaking of the Xuanjia Army, that was the forbidden army when Li Shimin was the King of Qin.
It still exists today and is a strong army.
The total number of this army is only 3,500.
This army was the key to Li Shimin being able to defeat Dou Jiande's army of hundreds of thousands with thousands of troops in the Battle of Hulao Pass.
This army was Li Shimin's biggest support when he later launched the Xuanwumen Revolution!
All this time, he would never use this army.
But it's different now.
Because today was different, he brought out the Xuanjia Army.
Li Lizhi followed behind and said: "Yes, just promise your father that the Xuanjia Army can keep you safe. My children and I are waiting for your return!"
With the protection of these Xuanjia troops, Xue Rengui must be safe.
Finally, he agreed.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin nodded happily.
Asked again.
"Then when are you going to leave?"
"Departure on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when the time comes, take the train to Taizhou!"
"Train? The train is open now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's approved, but it's still under trial operation. I should be able to go!"
"Is this so? This is so fast. I didn't expect the train to open to traffic. Looking back, I have to find time to experience it and see the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with some yearning.
Then, he said: "Okay, I'm very happy today, come here! Bring some wine! I want to have a few drinks with you!"
After finishing, someone went to get the wine.
Li Lizhi said: "Father, you are still taking medicine and cannot drink alcohol!"
"If I don't drink today, how can I prove that I am happy? I have already seen the moment when the Tang army won!"
Li Shimin said very excitedly.
Waiting for someone to get the wine.
Li Shimin asked again: "What reward do you want when things are done? You can tell me directly now! I can satisfy you!"
"I don't want any reward, I just want to be reunited with my mother!"
Li Shimin heard this.
"Where is your mother now?"
"At the minister's house!"
"Let her enter the Daming Palace, and I will entertain her well!"
After finishing, he said again: "Come here! Let's have a big banquet! I want to entertain the distinguished guests well!"
As a result, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed.
Doing this may make Mrs. Xue at a loss.
But Li Shimin has this kind of temper, what can he do?
I have no choice but to leave it like this.
"Okay, Rengui, go and invite your mother to come to the palace. I want to entertain her well. By the way, please come and ask the Queen and Concubine Yang to come back!"
"yes!"
The whole palace became lively.
Then, Xue Rengui and Li Lizhi left the Daming Palace to invite Mrs. Xue.
But as soon as he walked out, Li Lizhi questioned Xue Rengui.
I'm afraid there are some things that I can't hide.
