Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 82
Du Ruhui sighed at this moment: "It's really wonderful!"

He turned back to look at Fang Xuanling and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, you and I are both prime ministers and ministers, and we are known as counselors and counselors. Why can't we come up with such an ingenious idea?"

This family was known as the best counselor under Li Shimin's rule, but he could not defeat a prince who had not yet reached the crown.Du Ruhui's self-deprecation is not unreasonable.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed, "The King of Shu is as talented as I am? If he is a chancellor, he must be a minister capable of governing the world!"

Fang Xuanling sighed that Li Ke's idea was indeed a sound strategy.

In this way, the famine problem of the people was relieved, in the second, the worries of the war were solved, and in the third, it was able to earn money and land.

Such comprehensive consideration and planning is really beyond the reach of the world.

In the past, it was only said that the king of Shu was very good at strategy and force, but now it seems that he is also extremely good at the way of governing the country. He is really an all-rounder that is rare in a thousand years!

After Fang and Du finished speaking, everyone in the Shu King's party handed over their hands and praised Li Shimin: "Congratulations to your Majesty, you have obtained this Qilin Prince, a talented man with both civil and military talents. In the future, he will definitely be able to assist the Holy One and protect our country and the Tang Dynasty forever." , peace and happiness!”

It was rare for Li Shimin to feel complacent when his son was praised so much.

At this time, Changsun Wuji interrupted: "Everyone praised the way the King of Shu saved Youzhou, but I think that the second part mentioned by the King of Shu is very brave and strategic. It can solve the dilemma in the north!"

Changsun Wuji praised Li Ke, which is a strange thing.

Everyone present had read the letter, so they naturally knew that the second part of Li Ke's letter was the strategy for defeating the enemy.

Li Ke stated in the letter that he would send his army northward to take Goguryeo directly.

This Goguryeo is the most powerful among the three heroes in the north.It has more than 30 horses under its command, far more than Turks and Xue Yantuo.

According to Li Ke, once Goguryeo was destroyed, the other two countries would no longer dare to take action, and the coalition would be destroyed without attack.

Although Goguryeo is strong and strong, it also has a weakness, that is, the Yalu River.

Swinging troops from Goguryeo to the south to attack the Tang Dynasty must cross the Yalu River.

However, during the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo was not unscathed, and it was also very brutal at that time.According to Li Ke, the fleet of Goguryeo was completely wiped out during the Sui Eastern Expedition, and has not been rebuilt until now.

This brought hidden dangers to Goguryeo's southward campaign.

When a large army attacks, it must be backed up by grain and grass. However, Goguryeo's fleet could not be rebuilt, so transporting grain and grass became a problem.

Nowadays, Goguryeo's grain and grass are transported across the Yalu River through the cross-river bridge.

But Li Ke intends to focus on this point and go straight to Goguryeo's grain transportation route.

He was going to wait for the Goguryeo army to cross the Yalu River, and then occupy Anshi City on the banks of the Yalu River.

Na'an City is an important node city connecting the Yalu River, and the cross-river bridge was built in this city.

Once Anshi City is occupied, the enemy's food and grass will not be transported to the south, and the army will definitely run out of food immediately.

It is winter now, and once the Goguryeo army runs out of food, they will soon lose their combat effectiveness. In the end, they will starve to death by the Yalu River.

This move was extremely precise, directly strangling Goguryeo's neck and starving him to death.

And once Goguryeo is defeated, the Turks and Xue Yantuo, two nomadic peoples who can only fight with the wind, will not be able to become a climate at all.

Changsun Wuji praised Li Ke at this time, which surprised everyone.

It is true that Li Ke's tactics are admirable, but it is understandable for people like the King of Shu to boast. Changsun Wuji, Li Ke's deadly enemy, how could he praise him?
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, but anyone who reads Li Ke's strategic plan will admire in his heart that this strategy is really subtle.

Grab the food and grass backup, defend the Yalu River, and starve the Goguryeo army to death at the door of the house.

If this step can be successfully achieved, Goguryeo will inevitably be defeated, and the coalition forces of the three northern countries will also collapse.

Qin Qiong sighed and said: "This method of warfare is very suitable to my liking. His Royal Highness the King of Shu is indeed a god in his military skills and is a talented general!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that King Shu was the best in the world in terms of his civil and martial arts, and he was truly an unparalleled talent.

But Du Ruhui did not agree. He turned against everyone and frowned: "General Qin is a fierce general who takes the lead. This method naturally suits your wishes. However, have you ever thought about the status of the King of Shu? By doing this, he is simply a general. I put myself under the enemy's sword-edged cavalry. Once the Goguryeo army wakes up and attacks Anshi City, how dangerous will it be?"

Qin Qiong is the vanguard on the battlefield, rushing wherever there is danger, the reason why he is yearning for this plan is precisely because of the strangeness and treachery of this plan.

Going deep into the enemy's rear and cutting off the main roads of food and grass, this strategy sounds subtle, but in fact the key point is the word "dangerous".

Can ordinary people do such an act of going deep behind enemy lines and putting themselves in danger?
After thinking about this, Qin Qiong sighed with a wry smile. He was used to charging into battle, and he almost forgot that Li Ke was the country's hope for the future. It was not wise to do such a dangerous thing.

But Du Ruhui pointed out this point, although the point of the conversation was directed at Qin Qiong, in fact, it was Changsun Wuji who was secretly scolding.

Only then did everyone understand that the reason why Changsun Wuji praised Li Ke's tactics was actually to encourage Li Shimin to agree to this strategy and send Li Ke to the bank of the Yalu River.

How could Changsun Wuji not support this kind of tactic of actively sending himself into thinking?
At this moment, Li Shimin also heard the danger of this tactic from Du Ruhui's words, and he was also hesitating in his heart.

Once Li Ke's tactics are successful, he can instantly disintegrate the offensive of the Three Kingdoms and successfully restore the situation in the north.

But...what if it fails?
Li Ke is the talent he relies on the most now. Once he dies on the banks of the Yalu River, who else in the Tang Dynasty can resist the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms?

Just don't talk about strategy, that's his own prince, how could he be willing to see his son in death?

Li Shimin was in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu's plan is incomparably ingenious. If he designs it, he will surely defeat the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. Your Majesty must adopt such a strategy!"

Changsun Wuji encouraged him again at this time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, officials from the Guanlong Group followed suit.

"I hope His Majesty will adopt the strategy of the King of Shu, defeat the coalition forces, and protect our country!"

"I hope your majesty will consider the country of our country, the Tang Dynasty, and adopt the King of Shu's tactics!"

People from the Guanlong Group were eager to see Li Ke die, and they all spoke up, asking Li Shimin to adopt Li Ke's suggestion and let him go deep into the Yalu River to attack the enemy's hinterland.

Li Shimin is at war between heaven and man at this moment, and he is entangled in his heart.

He kept thinking about whether there was a better way to replace this dangerous style of play.

But the enemy is pressing forward. If we don't use this strange trick, how can we solve the current predicament?
