After thinking about it, Li Shimin finally decided to save Li Yuanji!
Although he and Li Yuanji did not get along, if he saw Li Yuanji die at the hands of the Turks this time and return to Chang'an in the future, his father would definitely blame him for this.
Even, it was a roaring condemnation.
Li Yuanji and Li Xiaoji are different. The former is his brother and the legitimate son of his father.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart and asked: "How will your Highness rescue you? How many troops and horses will you bring?"
Li Shimin thought: "Fifty thousand, plus the Xuanjia Army."
He also knew that the La Valley was now a trap, so he planned to bring all the elite forces there.
"What should we do if the Turks attack Shanyang at this time?" Changsun Wuji asked.
Li Shimin said: "Shan Yang still has an army of 100,000, and we can definitely defend it."
"That's inappropriate." Fang Xuanling said suddenly.
"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at him, "Do you think a hundred thousand troops can't defend Shan Yang?"
"That's not the case." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said seriously: "Your Highness only brought 50,000 people to the rescue, which is very inappropriate. We don't know how many troops Jieli sent to surround King Qi this time. We don't even know
Is all Jieli's army in the La Valley? It would be too risky for Your Highness to do this."
Although Jie Li claimed that he had an army of 200,000, Fang Xuanling and others were not sure how many there actually were.
Because the Turks basically all have soldiers, what if Jieli has an army of not 200,000 but 300,000?
What to do then?
Hit him on the head?
Yu Zhining also said solemnly: "Fang Canjun is right. Your Highness must not be reckless."
At this point, Li Shimin said impatiently: "This won't work, and that won't work either. You should give me a solution!"
He actually didn't want to save Li Yuanji, but he had no choice. Because of this, he now felt very irritable and sick.
He obviously hates Li Yuanji, but now he has to abandon his established strategic plan and take the risk to save a white-eyed wolf. Moreover, his staff can't come up with a solution. No matter how good-tempered he is, he is now a bit irritable.
You say I can’t do it, but you can, go ahead!
"If you ask me, Your Highness can't save it!" Changsun Wuji was still stubborn. In his opinion, the dead King Qi was the good King of Qi. Anyway, King Qi was the enemy. In this case, why bother to go there?
To save an enemy.
Dead and clean!
Li Shimin suppressed his anger and said: "Auxiliary machine, I have tolerated you for a long time, please stop talking."
Changsun Wuji knelt down directly, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness! What happened to King Qi now is entirely his own fault. Do you want Your Highness to clean up the mess for King Qi? Now Jieli is watching from the north. If Your Highness is not careful, everything will happen."
If you lose, the entire Bingzhou will fall!
Your Highness, it’s not that your subordinates are evil, it’s just that King Qi is not of the same mind as us. Even if His Highness tries his best to save King Qi now, he will not be grateful to Your Highness. Moreover, once the Turks take the opportunity to attack, the current good situation will be ruined.
It’s over!
If you give up King Qi, His Highness still has a chance to defeat Jie Li. If you go to rescue King Qi, His Highness will probably fall completely into the trap of the Turks.
Your Highness, think twice!"
Changsun Wuji was sincere and excited and urged Li Shimin.
Even if Changsun Wuji didn't tell Li Shimin about these things, he simply asked: "If you don't save King Qi, if he dies, how do you want me to explain to the saint?"
"I'll tell you how I want to explain it." Changsun Wuji said: "The King of Qi asked Ying to attack the Lahe River Valley. This is his own fault. What does it have to do with His Highness? Moreover, as long as His Highness can defeat Jieli's army this time, it is his fault.
I believe that the saint will not pursue it!"
"How do you ensure that His Highness can defeat Jie Li?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Changsun Wuji said: "If we continue to confront each other, Jieli will definitely reveal his flaws."
To put it bluntly, becoming the king of Qi has never happened. Continue the previous strategy and waste Jie Li.
Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji said to Fang Xuanling: "I know, I understand, I understand what you mean. You are worried that you cannot save King Qi, and the saint will hate His Highness because of this. But have you ever thought about our opponent?
They are Turks, not Liu Wuzhou and others. If others don’t understand, don’t you understand?
The Turkic soldiers and horses are already powerful in combat. Even if we have an army of 200,000, we cannot say that we will definitely defeat the Turks. In this case, to rescue the King of Qi is to let His Highness make a bet with the army.
Once he loses, after returning to the capital, His Highness will still be unable to escape the Crown Prince's attack!
If we give up King Qi, we can at least defend Bingzhou and have a chance to defeat Jieli!"
To be honest, what Changsun Wuji said makes sense. Not only Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining think it makes sense, but Li Shimin also thinks it makes sense.
If possible, Li Shimin really wants to do this.
But deep down in his heart, he still couldn't bear to sit back and watch Li Yuanji die in battle.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "Your Highness, what the auxiliary officer said is actually correct. My subordinates are incompetent and don't know what to do."
Li Shimin pursed his lips, "Is there no other way?"
Fang Xuanling and the other three were silent.
If there was any other way, why would they be quarreling here.
"Auxiliary engine, you should get up first."
"yes."
Li Shimin sighed, "That's all, let Pang Qingyun try it."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji looked happy.
"My subordinates will make arrangements now!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, "You go down and get ready."
Seeing King Qin's tired face, the three of them quietly retreated.
In Shanyang City, there is an ordinary mansion.
"After Zheng Rentai died in battle, Pang Qingyun was ordered to lead 10,000 people to the La Valley for rescue. Pang Qingyun had already set off an hour ago."
Liu Wenjing tilted her head and tasted the tea.
"It seems that Li Shimin has given up on Li Yuanji."
Since the fall of Shuozhou, Liu Wenjing knew that he had half his foot on the cliff. No matter whether the court won or lost, he could not escape the crime of ineffective defense.
Therefore, he looked away.
"Absolutely." The man said: "Li Shimin knew that there were 30,000 Turkic soldiers and horses in the La Valley, but he only sent 10,000 people there twice in a row. I'm afraid he was perfunctory."
"It's not surprising. Li Shimin has always been ruthless, and Li Yuanji has a feud with him. This time he just took the opportunity to eliminate Li Yuanji." Liu Wenjing laughed.
The man hesitated and said, "Will this affect the plan?"
"Isn't the plan just beginning?" Liu Wenjing asked.
"Just started?" The man was stunned.
"Otherwise?" Liu Wenjing sneered: "Do you think Li Shimin is that idiot like Li Yuanji, so easy to deal with? He is a cunning fox. If you don't make complete preparations, don't expect your plan to succeed."
"But if Li Shimin doesn't leave Shan Yang, how will we deal with him?"
Liu Wenjing squinted her eyes and looked at the beams.
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't I say that the plan has just begun?"
The man asked, "What should I do?"
"Just keep asking for information."
"yes."
After the man left, Liu Wenjing suddenly smiled strangely.
Huanghuadui, Turkic Camp.
Jie Li learned about the movements of the Tang army and said with a smile: "This Li Shimin looks like a grassland man. He is ruthless and decisive. He is worthy of being a Han Chinese who is famous all over the world."
Kang Sumi said: "No matter how strong the enemy is, he will only be defeated in front of the Khan."
Jie Li laughed and said immediately: "Don't underestimate Li Shimin. Now that big things have not happened, it's better to be careful."
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, Jie Li sent a message to Ashina Simo, asking him to continue besieging Li Yuanji.
