On the 11th year of Zhenguan, on the 26th day of the fifth month, in the Daming Palace and Zichen Hall, Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and looked at the family letter and military intelligence report submitted by the fast horse. While watching, he sighed. The war was tragic, but he did not expect that it would be as fierce as the fifth-rank and above generals died in battle.

Seeing the emperor's bad expression, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all felt the same as their hearts. A total of more than 200,000 troops were dispatched before and after this battle. Although the prince was quite talented, it was the first time that he could command so many troops independently.

If he suffers a defeat, it will not only insult the national character, but also cause a shock to the prefecture. This will be harmful to his stable reserve position without any exception. Especially Changsun Wuji, who is usually so calm that he is now sitting below and sweating profusely, he rubs his hands even more anxiously.

Can you be so fucked? The court now seems to be calm and no one comes out to cause trouble, but this does not mean that no one is doing anything in secret. Just say those who have grudges and resentment with the Eastern Palace, all of them are tilting their necks to watch the prince suffer a defeat, and then they will attack him in groups and pull him off from the throne.

Noting that the faces of several confidant officials were not good-looking, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face. Isn’t these guys very confident in Gao Ming? Seeing that the military newspaper in his hand was handed to Du Ruhui, he immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Gao Ming fought well in front. I didn’t think that this kid can not only fight, but also fight tough battles and death battles. This bone is very strong.” After saying that, he raised his hand to Du Ruhui and signaled him to read the military newspaper to everyone.

Hearing the emperor say this, Fang Du and others breathed a long sigh. This young master is enough to say anything. He can play tricks with everything, but no matter what, it is good for me, the Tang army, which can avoid a lot of trouble. Especially Changsun Wuji, as the emperor's smile appeared on his face, his hangover finally fell to the ground. If the army is defeated in his hand, the Eastern Palace will be completely finished. God and Buddha will bless you!

Just as Changsun Wuji was in his heart to pray for Gods and Buddhas, Du Ruhui cleared his throat and said in a straight voice: "My name-the chief general of Jiangyuandao march - the crown prince Chengqian, who bowed to his father's palace thousands of miles away... As of mid-May, our troops beheaded more than 68,000 Tubo army and killed 78 enemy generals. Now, the son of the son of the son of the army is leading the main force of the army to deal with the enemy in Songzhou,..., looking for a fighter opportunity to fight the enemy to die, and beg our emperor to rest assured. My son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the army was defeated by the city of Songzhou, so that he could not look eastward to the heavenly dying."

After listening to the military newspaper that Du Ruhui read, Fang Xuanling brushed his beard and praised: "To be honest, seeing the Tubo army's military strength is so large, the prince's command is a newly recruited military force in the local area, except for Jiang Yuan's army, the old minister is really not inferior, and he really sweats for His Highness.

But now it seems that Your Highness not only gave the enemy a large amount of killing and hurting the enemy with its weak forces, but also dragged the main force of Tubo to Songzhou. One of them grew and the other was declining, and then the other was declining, and then the other was exhausted, and we were enriched, creating favorable conditions for the army's counterattack. Your Highness's ability to command troops was able to obtain the three-point true transmission of His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling was right. He relied on the hardships of the city and the Tubo army to die. Although the Su Ding Fang army, the pioneer, suffered a large amount of damage to the Tubo army, also consumed their sharpness and a large amount of military supplies. Then, with the Jiangyuan army and some of the troops in his hands as the foundation, he gave a fatal blow at the right opportunity. If there was no accident in this war, the victory of the Tang Dynasty would be basically a foregone conclusion.

The reason why I am worried is not only because of the gap in military strength, but also because of the prince's habit of using troops. According to previous battle examples, the prince's use of troops and Hou Junji are the same, and they both like to take different swords. If such a tactic is used properly, you can indeed gain extraordinary results. However, once there is a deviation, it will undoubtedly be a drinking poison to quench thirst, and the entire army will be wiped out at any time.

So in Lao Fang's opinion, Hou Junji's problem remains unchanged, and he will not be able to catch up with his mentor Li Jing if he gives him eight lifetimes. The prince understands the word "strange and righteous" so thoroughly at such a young age, forcibly resisting the idea of ​​winning unexpectedly, and sits firmly on Diaoyutai and consumes the enemy. This state of mind is unmatched by many veterans who have been fighting for many years, so he really follows the emperor in commanding troops.

After Lao Fang finished speaking, Li Shimin, who came to the sand table, looked at Jishishan's position and rubbed his chin. To be honest, there was no mistake in Gaoming's strategic deployment. The only unnecessary thing was to let Li Daliang and Xue Wanjun go out to Jishishan to attack south.

Tubo and Tuyuhun have supported each other for many years, and they have a deep influence there. Otherwise, they would not be able to mix up the entire Xihaidao for a moment and make Hou Junji have no time to clone it. Who can I hide from such a big move? Isn’t this clearly telling others that I’ll take your way out?

"Your Majesty, do you think it's a bit unnecessary to let Li Daliang's troops come out of Jishi Mountain?" Du Ruhui came behind the emperor and said respectfully.

"Oh, Keming, you can see it too. Tell me, what do you think." The emperor's words aroused the curiosity of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, so they all followed him to see how Du Ruhui understood the prince's "tracking the way out".

After rolling up his sleeves, Du Ruhui picked up the stick in front of the sand table, pointed to Jishishan and Sedi and explained: "According to the current military deployment, Li Daliang and Xue Wanjun must first conquer the three small cities of Woya, Maiwa and Ertama. The troops pointed directly at the Tubo army's base camp, threatening their way back to the country and logistics supplies."

Du Ruhui's analysis was reasonable and reasonable. After hearing this, Li Shimin and the other two nodded frequently. Then they heard Lao Du continue to say: "It is not difficult to achieve such a strategic goal, but it is difficult to keep it confidential. The Tuyuhun people have always been dissatisfied with the Heavenly Kingdom in their hearts. Tubo's detailed work can get news in the shortest time, and they can have enough time to calmly allocate troops to block the attack."

"It seems that such a layout is indeed a bit redundant, but how can the prince not know such a simple truth? So the old minister thought that Your Highness was deliberately doing it, as the saying goes, the east attacks the west, and the real and the real are alternating.

He will definitely choose another one to attack the back of the enemy army in Songzhou. His Highness can pick up the small ones first, be pragmatic and truthful, which is a blessing for the country! As for sending people from there, the old minister thinks it should be between Yang Gonggou and Ge Ya."

"Fangmou Duan" was already famous all over the world when the emperor was the King of Qin. Du Ruhui's affairs, especially military affairs, had never missed them for more than 20 years. So after hearing his explanation, Li Shimin and others shifted their eyes from the lust where Songtsan cadres stayed to Songzhou. They slaughtered pigs first. Only by removing their wings can they win steadily. If they have too much appetite, they will easily support them.
