Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 179 Li Zhi Solves Confusion, A Shocking Conspiracy!
in the hall,
Li Shimin was discussing nervously with his officials.

All the waiters were called down, and the atmosphere in the hall was so dignified that it hadn't been seen in years!
Li Shimin had already thought of what Li Zhi thought of, and all the ministers now acquiesced in one thing—Xue Yantuo must join the battle!

Li Shimin took out a military report with a solemn expression.

"There is news from Li Jing that he does not need reinforcements from the imperial court, and he can resist it. What do you guys say?"

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling said steadily, "I'm afraid it's not right...Taiyuan City is so strong that it's true that Luo Yi and Xue Yantuo would not be able to break it together, but since Luo Yi dared to act like this, there must be some strange tricks hidden!"

Wei Zheng also said solemnly, "This is inevitable! I'm afraid it's not a plague!"

Recently, the imperial court was really scared by Luo Yi's move. I don't know what other sinister tricks he is hiding!

"Oh, a strange trick..."

Changsun Wuji sighed deeply, he was slapped in the face, and now Luo Yi chose his worst strategy, which made him puzzled.

He also has to admit now, I'm afraid Luo Yi really has too many fancy intestines!

Have to prevent!

Li Shimin's tone was not kind, "The tricks of war in this world are nothing more than those. With the wisdom of my Tang officials, can't they be deduced?!"

"What other tricks can Luo Yi come up with, please judge for me!"

Li Shimin glanced around, almost mandatory, asking them to start a brainstorming session!
"Could it be a water attack?!"

Xiao Yu suddenly said, "What water system is there near Taiyuan?"

Li Shimin who was present knew this question best.

He pondered and replied, "The Fen River flows through Taiyuan from north to south, and water attack is indeed feasible. But Li Jing is now stationed in Taiyuan, and Luo Yi and Xue Yantuo have not arrived, so there is no reason why the upper reaches of the Fen River should be occupied by them!"

"Maybe the water system further away is quietly occupied by them?"

This Li Shimin is not sure...

But Xiao Yu's conjecture can be answered by the existing documents of the imperial court!
"The head of the Xuanyu Department asked him to bring a map of the waters of Shanxi for nearly a year!"

Li Shimin ordered immediately.

Now is to investigate any possible factors!
The Ministry of Yu is in charge of the world's mountains and rivers and water conservancy, and every issue will make detailed statistics on the flow and basin of the world's rivers.

Sometimes the imperial court does not need to visit the scene in person, and it can roughly speculate where a flood may break out based on these data alone.

The head of the Yu Department came soon after, and Li Shimin personally supervised and asked him to check the watershed map for a whole year to see if there were any problems.

In the end, the answer was no!
The head of the Ministry of Yu reported, "Your Majesty, my lords, the rain in Shanxi this year is normal, and the water level of the river should also be normal. It should be blocked by someone if there is no place."

In fact, it is only necessary to investigate the waters up to [-] miles from Taiyuan, and no matter how far away it is, it will not be able to reach Taiyuan. However, the head of the Ministry of Yu investigated a full [-] miles up, and the final result is still safe.

"In other words, water attack is impossible." Li Shimin frowned.

After the head of the Yu Department stepped down, His Highness fell into deep thought again for a while.

Water attack is impossible, fire attack is even more impossible!

The fire attack must be adapted to the corresponding conditions before it can be used, and it must be inconvenient for the opponent to move and cannot escape the flames to be effective.

Therefore, it is mostly used in closed valleys or vast rivers.

And Taiyuan, none of these conditions are met!
"Water attack and fire attack won't work, what other tricks does Luo Yi have?"

This really puzzled the officials in the palace!

And the more there is no answer, the more impatient Li Shimin becomes!

Luo Yi and Xue Yantuo are not fools, since they dare to go straight to Taiyuan, they must have someone to rely on!

It is impossible for the imperial court to wake up until after they approached the city and captured Taiyuan, then it will be too late!

Once Taiyuan is lost, the northern part of the empire is lost!

"Father, why are you so quiet?"

At this time, Li Zhi finally came, and he raised his hand to say hello quite comfortably, as if everyone was a big acquaintance.

Li Shimin stared, there are so many guards outside the door, how did you come in!

Of course, Li Zhi walked the way of heaven, and he didn't go through the guards.

"What are you doing? Nonsense!"

Li Shimin pursed his lips, looking serious.

All the ministers looked at Li Zhi, not knowing what to say, they were having an extremely important meeting!

Li Zhidao, "I'm worried that you may not think of it, so I came here to offer advice. Luo Yi's attack on Taiyuan will definitely have Xue Yantuo's help!"

Li Shimin snorted, feeling helpless and a little annoyed.

Sternly said, "You still have to tell me, how can we not be as good as you, a child, who can't even think of this!"

Li Zhi was surprised, "Have you all thought about it, that's okay."

The faces of all the ministers are black, Ninth Prince, you can really go!
Why does your compliment sound like an insult to their IQ!

"But have you really thought about it?" Li Zhi asked again.

Li Shimin's forehead jumped, you child, what's going on!

"Listen, Li Zhi, what you're talking about is not an inconceivable thing at all!
Even if you figured it out, it's not something worth boasting about again and again, you know? ! "

Li Shimin taught the lesson with a dark face.

"No! Your Majesty, you might as well listen to the Ninth Prince!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, who had been seldom speaking, suddenly brightened his eyes, as if thinking of something very scary!

He hurriedly stopped Li Shimin and asked Li Zhi to continue talking!

"Auxiliary machine, what are you up to?" Li Shimin looked suspiciously,

And all the ministers turned their eyes of "asking for advice" to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said neither humble nor overbearing, "What I actually want to say is that Xue Yantuo will definitely send troops, but not necessarily in Taiyuan."

Ok? !

Everyone in the hall was shocked at the same time, what do you mean? !

With one word from Li Zhi, everyone couldn't move away from his small body.

"Li Zhi, keep talking!" Li Shimin's expression became tense.

Li Zhi's words seemed to have grasped the way they couldn't think of no matter how hard they thought. !
Li Zhi said lightly, "To conquer Taiyuan, it will definitely take a very hard battle to see the result, no matter how you look at it, now is not a good time to attack Taiyuan!

What's more, the coach stationed in Taiyuan is still Li Jing this time. It is impossible for Luo Yi and Xue Yantuo not to know his prestige, and dare to march into Taiyuan, which is simply suicidal! "

All the ministers agree with this statement!
Li Jing is not Zhang Jin, even if he really loses, it is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.

Retreat to the city and wait for the imperial court to send help. Relying on the wealth accumulated in the Central Plains over the years, the consumption is enough to consume Luo Yi and Xue Yantuo to death!
"So, even though Luo Yi sent troops to Taiyuan, I think it's just a cover-up. The purpose is to make the court mistakenly think that he has some tricks, so that the heavy troops assembled by the court will all be piled up in Taiyuan."

Li Zhidao, "I have to say that his connection is really perfect. First, the plague in the imperial city, and then the battle of Bingzhou, people firmly believe that he has a lot of tricks and cannot be normally unpredictable."

"In fact, how can there be so many tricks! His real purpose is probably to let Xue Yantuo take advantage of the opportunity to enter, go straight down from the secluded area, directly attack Liaodong, Shandong, Henan, and even directly hit Luoyang!

At that time, Jiangnan in Yangzhou was nothing more than fish on their cutting board, and the entire central and eastern parts of the Tang Dynasty, and even the south, would be completely lost! "

What Li Zhi said was the worst-case scenario at that time, it is possible that the vast Tang Dynasty will be directly split into two in this battle!

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the whole hall was completely silent!

Can there be such a way? !

Everyone was shocked, a cold fear rushed from the soles of their feet to the sky, making them tremble!
Why can't we use this method!

Once it is implemented, it is impossible to prevent it!

"My dear friends, what do you think...how?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and had to say that he was frightened!
If it is really as Li Zhi said, then this is really a catastrophe! !

Changsun Wuji's eyes were lingering, "What the Ninth Prince said is probably true!
Think about it everyone, the situation has come to this day, have you ever heard of Xue Yantuo?
I'm afraid, they are not on the way to send troops to Taiyuan now, but are lying in ambush in Liaodong, waiting for the imperial army to gather in Taiyuan, so that they can rush into the Central Plains in one fell swoop! "

Everyone was shocked!

It's really possible!
Li Shimin asked anxiously, "If that's the case, what can the court do?"

Li Zhidao, "It's simple, gather a large army, and still defend Liaodong and the three towns in the north!
There is no need to worry about Taiyuan. Even if Xue Yantuo and Luo Yi do attack together, General Li Jing can handle it calmly.

To put it bluntly, you are in the rear, but you worry too much, and caring makes chaos! "
