"Alright, I've said what I needed to say and listened. In the future, behave yourself and don't always think about getting involved with the Imperial Court.”
"Do you still need the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?”
"When are you going to pay your respects to me?"
Xiao Fan asked a few questions and saw his cheap father's dejected expression.
Obviously, he was shocked by the stakes involved.
Cowardly look.
Xiao Fan shook his head and left with his hands behind his back.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were left behind.
After a long silence, Li Shiming's expression slowly became solemn. He was completely different from before. He asked Du Ruhui solemnly.
"He said that Liang shi could be easily pacified. How much logic does that make?”
Du Ruhui couldn't make a decision either. They hadn't thought of this possibility beforehand.
When discussing the battle plan with Hou Junji, they had focused on how to attack the city and how to plan the strategy.
No one thought about the internal relationship of Shuofang.
After another period of silence, Du Ruhui said with difficulty,""Perhaps there is such a possibility."
Li Shi Min did not deny it and swallowed his saliva." Regardless of whether this is possible or not, I am more concerned about the second point.”
"Keming, you need to go to Taiji Palace and tell Hou Junji about this possibility.”
"Tell him to be careful. If…if the Shuofang really surrenders internally, he must make good use of this information gap.”
"Let him find Li Jing. I don't want to wait any longer. It's time for me to take revenge on the Turks for the humiliation I suffered in the first year of Zhenguan.”
"Let Li Jing recruit soldiers. Once the Shuofang side really defects, immediately have Hou Junji plan to infiltrate the Turks and use this information gap to get Li Jing ready!”
Du Ruhui nodded solemnly.""This old man will make the arrangements now."
Some things, as long as they found a direction, they would be able to use a series of unspeakable plots such as using spies, using tactics, and inciting rebellion. These old officials of Zhenguan would definitely be able to play with them.
Li Shiming didn't need to explain this in detail; Hou Junji and the others had the ability to know what to do next.
After Du Ruhui left, Li Shimin reached out to touch his teacup. He was a little thirsty.
He held the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp. His face was twisted with excitement and anticipation.
……
Hou Junji's army was marching toward the north.
Seven days later, when Hou Junji arrived at Shuofang, his army froze in place.
The gates of Shuofang were wide open.
A white flag hung high above the city gate.
Liang Shidu's head was hung on the flagpole in a dazzling manner.
Liang Shidu's younger brother, Liang Luoren, opened the city gates and led all the citizens of the Summer Prefecture City to welcome the Tang army.
Hou Junji was completely dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty…you really know how to f * cking calculate! Could this be the so-called victory from a thousand miles away?”
Hou Junji didn't have time to be shocked as he shouted to his left and right,"Men! Eight hundred miles to send the letter to Chang 'an.”
"Tell Li Jing to prepare the army. Tell him that I have already taken Shuofang and will temporarily control all information here.”
Hou Junji knew how to grasp this opportunity.
……
During these seven days, Li Shimin had been shuttling between Taiji Palace and Wannian County.
Tired but happy.
Wei Zheng often couldn't find Li Shimin in the palace, so he was quite dissatisfied. It seemed that his tolerance was reaching its limit.
However, Li Shiming ignored him and continued to do as he pleased.
Sooner or later, a conflict would erupt between the monarch and his subjects regarding the emperor's moral conduct.
Early this morning, Li Shiming, the Emperor who liked to be a father, was still sleeping in Xiao Manor.
Dong dong dong.
The hurried knocking on the door interrupted Li Shiming's dream.
He rubbed his eyes and got up to open the door.
"Keming, it's only the third day of the night. I don't have to attend the morning court today, so why are you disturbing me so early?”
Du Ruhui looked at the sleepy Li Shimin with excitement.
The hands that were holding the silk cloth began to tremble with excitement." Shuofang…has news."”
Swoosh!
Li Shi Min felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. He couldn't help but shiver, and immediately woke up. He said excitedly,"Why?"
Du Ruhui's eyes were complicated, and his hand holding the silk was trembling.""Exactly!"
"Xiao Fan is simply divine. The development of the situation is exactly as he expected.”
"When Hou Junji went to Shuofang, he was dumbfounded. The situation there was almost exactly as Xiao Fan had described. Liang Shidu's younger brother, Liang Luoren, really beheaded Liang Shidu. The gates of Shuofang were wide open, and the people knelt down to welcome our imperial army into Shuofang.”
"This is Hou Junji's detailed military report, and it praises His Majesty to the heavens.”
Li Shi Min's initial confusion gradually turned into shock, and then to uncontrollable trembling and excitement.
Li Shimin glanced through Hou Junji's letter, carefully filtering out the words praising his divine foresight.
His mind was filled with another possibility.
Du Ruhui seemed to have a tacit understanding with Li Shiming. He clenched his fists and the humiliation on his face reappeared.
It was as if he had seen the first year of Zhenguan, the Wei River, the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers entering the Central Plains, and the Emperor tearing down a white horse.
If…
If he had discovered this kid earlier…
Everything was over.
Li Shi Min let out a long breath," This is a great humiliation. I will return it to Jie Li Khan in this year!!!”
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said to Du Ruhui,"Get Li Jing to recruit soldiers and coordinate with Hou Junji. While the snow hasn't closed the road yet, get Li Jing to immediately set off according to our plan. Tell him that we want to see Jie Li's head!”
Li Shimin had been waiting for this plan for nearly four years.
From the first year of Zhenguan to the end of the third year of Zhenguan, it was almost four years.
The emperor and his subjects had been waiting for this moment.
In the past four years, the emperor and his subjects had been constantly devising a strategy to fight the Turks. They had been preparing for almost four years!
It was time to pay back the humiliation from back then!
The chain reaction after attacking Liang Shidu caught Li Shi Min off guard.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan had reminded Li Shimin, allowing him to see an opportunity, giving him enough time to calmly plan the next battle plan.
This gave the monarch and his subjects another great hope!
How could Li Shi Min not be excited?
How could Du Ruhui not be excited?
After a long time, Li Shi Min's eyes revealed a profound look. He gritted his teeth and said,"This child is a Kingdom Scholar of the Great Tang!"
He spoke very forcefully and seriously. It was like discovering a lost pearl.
