Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"There will be a chance." Xiao Ran said.

Xiao Ran said there was, so of course there was, so Li Shimin stopped mentioning it and said, "The Prime Minister has Yan Zhenqing, but what about the generals?"

Xiao Ranke became interested when he mentioned this, "When it comes to generals, there are quite a few, such as Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, whom I mentioned just now. Besides them, there is another person named Wang Zhongsi."

Hearing Wang Zhongsi's name, Li Heng suddenly showed a proud expression.

Li Shimin looked over and said, "Xiao Ran is not talking about you, what are you proud of?"

Li Heng replied: "That's Chen's brother too!"

This made Li Shimin a little confused, and he looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran nodded and said: "That's true. Wang Zhongsi's father died in the battle, so Li Longji adopted Wang Zhongsi as his adopted son. Wang Zhongsi was brave and resolute, reticent, but he knew the art of war extremely well and was good at using it. "

"Every time Li Longji discussed the art of war with him, he could answer questions fluently. In this way, he was even more valued by Li Longji. He even said directly to Wang Zhongsi: 'You must be a good general.' It can be seen that Li How much does Longi value Wang Zhongsi?"

Li Shimin pondered for a while and then asked: "How is the achievement?"

Xiao Ran smiled, "Of course it goes without saying. When he was in his twenties, he led hundreds of troops to attack the enemy. At that time, the Tubo Zanpu Chief was training troops in Yubiaochuan. His subordinates wanted to return, but Wang Zhongsi refused to listen and mentioned The sword rushed into the enemy formation, killed thousands of people, captured tens of thousands of sheep and horses, and later captured the new city of Tubo."

"Soon after, Tubo sent out a large number of troops, preparing to avenge the defeat of Xincheng. In the morning, they approached the official and army positions. The Tang army was outnumbered and the whole army was frightened. Wang Zhongsi rode alone into the enemy's position, charging left and right, killing hundreds of people with one man!"

Li Shimin put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Okay! He is indeed a good son of our Tang Dynasty! With such bravery, are you still worried that our Tang Dynasty will not prosper?"

Xiao Ran said: "That's not all. When Wang Zhongsi was young, he prided himself on his bravery. When he became a general, he took it as his duty to guard the border steadily. He once said to people: 'When the country is stable, the duty of a general is to provide for the army. . I don’t want to rely on the power of the country to gain personal fame’, from which we can see his character and the country’s righteousness!”

"He trained soldiers and horses, and what was lacking must be made up for. There was a lacquer bow weighing 150 kilograms, which was stored in a bag, indicating that it was of little use. The sergeants and soldiers in the army were thinking about fighting day and night, because they were often dispatched Detectives observe the enemy's weak points, and then attack with surprise troops, so soldiers like to do this, and victory will be achieved if the divisions attack."

"Every time the army goes to war, the generals are summoned to deliver weapons and distribute them to the soldiers. Although it is a bow and an arrow, the name of the user is recorded on it. After the battle, it is taken back. If it is lost, his identity is identified and punished. Therefore. Everyone encourages himself, and there are enough weapons. It can be said that no needle or thread from the court is wasted."

Li Shimin sighed with emotion, "There are many generals in the army, but those who are so careful are rare."

It's not that other generals are wasted, but few people care about these things. Because of the importance of the army, if anything is missing, the court will naturally make up for it.

But if you save like Wang Sizhong, you may be able to buy a lot more weapons and supplies.

Xiao Ran said: "Actually, the most important thing is that Wang Sizhong really loves the people like his own son! At that time, Li Longji wanted to capture Shibao City and issued an edict to consult on how to attack, but Wang Sizhong was firmly opposed."

Li Heng suddenly asked: "I don't seem to know about this?"

Li Shimin glanced at him sideways and said, "You are not Xiao Ran. Of course you don't know. Why, can you also go to the future?"

Li Heng shrank his neck, wishing he didn't exist.

He had been too absorbed in listening just now, and Xiao Ran was talking about things he knew, so now he suddenly said something that did not exist in his memory. Naturally, he was a little curious, and he actually forgot that Xiao Ran came from the future.

Xiao Ran said in a good temper: "Logically speaking, this matter should happen a few months later. Of course you don't know. Before him, he was famous for his bravery. But this time, he is outstanding." It’s his character.”

"Wang Sizhong believes that the terrain of Shibao City is dangerous and Tubo defends it with all its strength. If we attack its strong city with a tired army, tens of thousands of people will be killed by the enemy before the war can be completed. This is not cost-effective in his opinion. , so I persuaded Li Longji to stop fighting and observe the development of the situation before planning to seize it."

"Then did Li Longji listen?" Li Shimin asked, but as soon as he finished asking, he snorted coldly and replied to himself: "I'm afraid not. If he listened, then he is not Li Longji. "

This is quite ironic.

Xiao Ran nodded, "You are right. Li Longji naturally disagreed. At this time, Dong Yanguang proposed a plan to capture Shibao City. Li Longji issued an edict and ordered Wang Zhongsi to divide his troops to meet him. Wang Zhongsi reluctantly obeyed, which made Dong Yanguang very unhappy. Happy."

"So Li Guangbi once came to persuade Wang Sizhong, which meant that Wang Sizhong ostensibly agreed to Li Longji's order, but in fact he did not obey Dong Yanguang's order and even went to war. Logically speaking, he would offer a large reward to boost the morale of the soldiers. If you don't do it, wouldn't it be a stab in the spine? It's going to be a war, and you can't even part with the reward."

Li Heng said: "Brother is not such a person."

The certainty of what he said made Li Shimin look at him more.

Xiao Ran said: "Of course he is not. In Wang Zhongsi's view, it is not cost-effective to attack Shibao City. He and Li Guangbi said: 'Now we strive for a city. If we get it, we will not be able to contain the enemy. If we don't get it, it will be of no use to the country." Damn it, how can a loyal heir trade tens of thousands of lives for an official position? This deal is too uneconomical."

Li Shimin said with some surprise: "Isn't he afraid that if he doesn't win, Li Longji will blame him?"

"According to Wang Zhongsi's own statement, that is, 'If Your Majesty blames me, wouldn't it be like losing a Jinwu Yulin general who returned to the court as a bodyguard!' Therefore, he is not afraid of being blamed. After all, he is still Li Longji’s adopted son is not.”

Li Shimin now has a good impression of Wang Sizhong, whom he has never met.

"Okay! He is loyal and brave, loves his soldiers like his own children, and has a free and open-minded nature. How can people not appreciate such a person!"

After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Heng again and asked, "How is your relationship with this Wang Zhongsi?"

Although it is said that Li Heng has always called Wang Zhongsi brother, the actual relationship between the two is really unknown.

Li Heng said quickly: "My relationship with my brother is naturally very good!"

Xiao Ran also said: "Indeed, he and Wang Zhongsi have a very good relationship. After all, they have grown up together. It is because of this that Wang Zhongsi almost died."

Li Heng was shocked, "How could this happen?!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Heng and narrowed his eyes, "I want to ask you what you have done."

Li Heng was confused. He didn't know what he had done to cause Wang Zhongsi's death.

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Xiao Ran quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not your fault and it has nothing to do with you. It's just an excuse."

Before Li Shimin and Li Heng could ask, Xiao Ran said: "After Wang Zhongsi pacified the Turks, Li Linfu saw Wang Zhongsi's achievements and fame growing more and more, and was worried that he would become prime minister in the court, so he became jealous of him."
