Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 1016 Sincerely

  Chapter 1016 Sincere words

"old."

Standing outside the hall, Li Jiwen said: "The day before yesterday, when I went out of the city, I just rode for 20 miles and my back hurt. After all, I am old. One must accept old age, otherwise it will harm others and oneself. Look at the other people, that group The generals are all old, and there are only a few people who will follow up."

  "Xue Rengui." Shangguanyi has never understood why the old men don't like Xue Rengui.

  Li Ji glanced at him, "Xue Rengui is famous for his bravery. Xiao Jia, you have to remember that bravery is bravery, and commanding an army is commanding an army. Bravery plays a big role in a battle on the battlefield, but the most important thing for a commander is to lead the army."

   Xue Wanche is also extremely brave, but he can only be used as an arrow in large-scale battles.

  Shangguanyi felt ashamed, and walked away first.

   "Who is famous for martial arts, Li Weigong or the old man?"

  Li Jing and Li Ji were never known for their bravery, but for their resourcefulness, and eventually became one of the few commanders in the Tang Dynasty.

   "The Tang Dynasty must have a commander. When the Tang Dynasty must hand over the country's destiny to the warriors, without a proper commander, it is a child carrying money through the downtown area."

  When the first emperor decided to fight back against the Turks, it was Li Jing who coordinated and commanded the Turks to be disabled.

   "The commander's vision cannot be in one city or one place, but in one country..." Li Ji was very pleased, "Do you know what your strengths are? It is vision."

  Datang is no longer at the stage of seeking one city and one place. The first emperor completed this goal, and now the goal of Datang is to go abroad.

  Wang Yuanyuan came to the Ministry of War again.

   "How is Lu Dongzan's health?"

  Wang Yuanyuan said: "It is not ambiguous to say that it is galloping."

   It seems that he can live for a while.

  In every era, there will be outstanding people. These outstanding people have a profound impact on the country where they live, and can even affect the rise and fall of a country. This is the case with Lu Dongzan and his family.

   This is a family of powerful ministers with great skills.

   Xue Rengui remembers losing to Lu Dongzan's son.

   That's in...

  Wang Yuanyuan stood there, seeing Jia Pingan in a daze, coughed dryly.

   "Hush."

  Chen Jinfa said in a low voice, "Guo Zheng is thinking about official business."

  Nothing else over there, the beef jerky is delicious!

   Jia Pingan misses the beef jerky he ate back then.

   There is also Lao Baigan, a strong group!

   "Can't drink! Can't drink!"

  Jia Pingan shook his head and found Wang Yuanyuan looking at him with admiration.

"knew."

  The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Jia Pingan is now understanding the opponent.

   But there are too many opponents, and Datang's troubles are endless.

   "Ashina Helu has been running away since he was defeated, and has never appeared in front of the army again."

  Chen Jinfa gathered a lot of materials.

   Jia Pingan was thinking about it.

  Turks are not easy to destroy, and they have revived many times in history until they were overwhelmed by emerging forces.

   That is to say, only the grassland forces can destroy the Turks.

who?

   Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes and thought about it.

  The remnants of the Turkic forces have been lingering, and they were finally replaced by the Uighurs.

  If the broom does not move, the garbage in the house will not dissipate automatically.

  Finally, Dashi.

   Dashi has begun to expand to the surrounding area at this moment. Their envoys will come to Chang'an almost once a year. The court is very optimistic that it is a tribute, but Jia Pingan knows that this is just a temptation.

   Dashi is very conceited. This is also the most powerful stage in their history. After this stage...it is not worth mentioning.

   "Anxi!"

   Jia Pingan stared at Anxi on the map.

  Whether it is Tubo or Turkic, or the later Dashi, the place of their confrontation with Datang is in Anxi, or outside Anxi.

   Jia Ping'an thought a lot.

  Li Ji handed him the title of a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in public today. The so-called being in his position and seeking his own government, he had to put aside his laziness and think about the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty.

  There's trouble up north.

  Khitan is troublesome, always wanting to give Datang a backstab.

  …

   "Are you willing?"

  In a restaurant, a group of old men absent from work were drinking.

  Li Ji said: "Why don't you give up? While I'm still here, I'll protect them from the wind and rain, pick up what's missing, and make up for the omissions. When we leave, no one will care about it."

  Cheng Zhijie was a little depressed, "Looking back on this life, the first half of my life was like killing people, and the second half of my life was like a dog, but I think it's not as happy as Xiao Jia."

  Li Jiwen said: "Happy or not is a matter of life, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Jia is plotting Khitan."

   Cheng Zhijie wondered, "Khitan? It's just a wild dog. Why does Xiao Jia value them?"

  Li Ji shook his head, "So you can only be a general, not a commander."

  Cheng Zhijie: "..."

   After holding back for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence, "The old man sees that you are unwilling."

  Li Ji smiled: "Why is the old man reluctant?"

  Cheng Zhijie said: "Then why are you pressing the handle?"

  Li Ji lowered his head subconsciously, only to realize that he didn't bring a knife at all.

   "Hahahaha!" Cheng Zhijie laughed loudly.

  …

   "Li Ji personally handed over the name of the next commander-in-chief to him, and His Majesty did not raise any objections."

  Li Yifu sneered, "How old is he?"

  Qin Sha's heart trembled, "Sir, don't forget that Li Ji and others were young when they became famous."

   "They crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood." Li Yifu was startled.

  Qin Sha said: "Master, Jia Pingan has fought a lot, from Tubo to Turkic, and then to Liaodong. Last time, he even went to sea to destroy the Japanese country. Such a person should not be underestimated."

  He was worried that the benefactor would underestimate the enemy.

   "The old man knows." Li Yifu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's hard...it's hard."

  Qin Sha knew what he meant, "The emperor and empress are still like this to your husband?"

"neither cold nor hot."

  Li Yifu got up, his eyes brightened, "However, Your Majesty cannot leave this old man. Remember, as long as His Majesty has an opponent who cannot directly fight, he will not be able to leave this old man."

  Qin Sha bowed his head, "Sir, be careful!"

  Li Yifu frowned slightly, his eyes turned into triangles, and said gloomily: "The old man knows."

  Li Yifu walked out.

   "Meet my husband."

   "Meet my husband!"

  The respectful voice is intoxicating.

  He arrived in the imperial city.

   "Meet Li Xiang!"

   "Meet Li Xiang!"

  The officials all showed respectful expressions.

  The old man is a dog, ordered to bite people. The person who bites is scary.

   This is authority!

  Looking at those respectful officials, Li Yifu felt that his body was light and light, as if he could fly up with a gust of wind.

  An official came over without even looking at him.

   Li Yifu was inexplicably annoyed, and woke up from the intoxicated state, only to find that it was Jia Pingan.

   "It's so majestic."

  Jia Pingan felt that such Li Yifu could be regarded as a negative teaching material.

  Among a group of slightly bowed officials, Jia Pingan, who walked calmly, was particularly eye-catching.

   Li Yifu looked at it with a smile.

   Jia Pingan looked indifferently.

  Two eye contact.

   Saby!

  Out of the imperial city, Xu Xiaoyu asked: "Mr. Lang, Li Yifu is so powerful, why do you still want to offend him?"

   "Monster? I can't."

   It is said that if you want to perish first, you must first go crazy.

   "Zhao Guogong."

   Jia Pingan, who was just about to run away, was caught.

   Dou Dexuan came after him out of breath, "Hurry up, hurry up and follow me."

  Jia Pingan looked confused, "Mr. Dou, you have something to say! Why are you pulling me?"

  Dou Dexuan scolded: "It's okay to say? The old man asked you to wait last time, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Let's go!"

   Jia Pingan smiled wryly.

   Arriving at Dou Dexuan's office, Jia Pingan saw a box of silver.

   "Look, this is what you brought back from Wa Kingdom."

  Dou Dexuan picked up a silver ingot and said intoxicatedly: "This is the guarantee of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

  He put down the silver ingot, "Just before, some people said that unless the coins can ensure enough silver, they will not be exchanged. What do you think?"

   "No change?" Jia Pingan rubbed his hands, "Good thing."

  What do you mean?

  Dou Dexuan was stunned, "Good thing?"

   Of course it is a good thing.

   This is Datang's first edition silver coin, which is extremely valuable for collection. Jia Ping'an wishes everyone would not want it.

   "I want it all."

Dou Dexuan looked at him, and said suspiciously: "The Jia family's financial resources are naturally unquestionable, but you want them all...Xiao Jia, this is a state matter, and it cannot be settled with private wealth. One tael of silver is worth a thousand, ten thousand Two silvers is worth tens of millions of dollars, the Jia family is afraid that they will go bankrupt, right?"

   Jia Ping'an looked confused, obviously.

  Dou Dexuan sighed: "Such a loyal young man! It's rare to see him. But this time 10,000 taels, next time I'm afraid it will be 100,000 taels. Can the Jia family accept them all?"

   "This is not a long-term solution." Dou Dexuan stroked his beard.

  What are you doing with a beard?

  Eat a meal and drink water to make the beard full of dirt.

   Jia Pingan picked up the silver ingot, "It's actually not difficult."

  Dou Dexuan asked: "How?"

   Jia Pingan raised his eyes, "Get out the silver coins first."

   It's easy.

   "The old man went to look for Yan Liben, at least get a pretty one."

   "Got it!"

  Lao Yan's aesthetic ability and Jia Ping'an still trust him.

   He has a lot going on.

  According to Li Ji's arrangement, he went to find some generals to drink in the past few days.

  Is this a bit taboo?

  Jia Pingan felt that Lao Li was stupid.

  But Li Ji said firmly: "Just go."

  After he left, Li Ji stood up holding the case, "I'm getting old."

  He slowly walked outside the palace gate, "The old man begs to see His Majesty."

   Facing the famous Tang marshal, the servants were very polite. Someone found a stool and said, "Mr. Ying, sit down for a while."

  Li Ji shook his head, "Thank you very much."

  His life has been full of ups and downs, from a hero to a Ding Haishenzhen of the Tang army. This journey seems to be glorious, but every step is dangerous.

  He envied the purity of Jia Ping'an's resume: he started his official career from the emperor's private power, Baiqi, and then rose step by step under the emperor's nose. Only such courtiers and emperors would be less suspicious.

   But he is different, as a former villain, after he joined Datang, he faced suspicion. Then he showed his military and political talents, but the suspicion remained.

   But what is admirable about the first emperor is that he can be suspicious of you and reuse you at the same time.

  When Li Zhi ascended the throne, he relied more and more on Li Ji, but Li Ji knew that this was because the emperor needed an old minister to stabilize the court.

   Veteran!

you're old.

   Not everyone has the surname Sima.

  Li Ji raised his eyes and saw Wang Zhongliang hurriedly approaching.

  The old man is getting old, and the emperor is no longer jealous.

   Li Ji smiled.

   "Prince of the United Kingdom, Your Majesty has summoned you."

  Wang Zhongliang was very polite.

  Li Ji nodded, "Thank you."

  The grandson couldn't understand his kind-hearted way of doing things, and felt aggrieved. But Li Ji didn't think so.

  Any kind of lifestyle, as long as you can get used to it, is happiness.

  The emperor and empress are all there.

   There is a seat for the prime minister and a cup of hot tea.

  Li Ji found that the emperor looked at the teacup in front of him first.

   "Your Majesty, I asked Duke Zhao to find some generals to drink."

   Li Zhi still smiled.

  Li Ji said: "The minister is old, and the minister has been observing the generals of the Tang Dynasty for several years. From the frontier fortress to the guards in the court, they have not been able to find the commander. Your Majesty..."

  Li Ji raised his eyes, still gentle, "The Tang Dynasty is huge, and the enemies of the Tang Dynasty are also huge. Once the country is in a war, you must be handsome to lead the army, otherwise..."

   Li Zhi asked: "How is Xue Rengui?"

  Li Ji shook his head, "Xue Rengui is brave if he is brave. He can be the manager of the whole road, but the chief manager is not competent."

  Li Zhi frowned slightly, "Is that so?"

  The queen has been observing Li Ji, but is silent.

  Li Jiwen said: "The minister and grandson Li Jingye are good friends with Zhao Guogong, but the minister and grandson are not great talents, and it is difficult to take charge of one side in this life..."

  My grandson has this qualification, you can rest assured, Your Majesty.

   "Duke Zhao has led the army for many years, and I have been paying attention to his methods. There are aggression like fire and immovability like mountains. What I value more is his vision."

Li Ji raised his eyes with piercing eyes, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the commander is not brave, but the strategy, and the strategy is the first thing to look at. The commander can see beyond the attack, and can transcend the attack. He doesn't focus on gains and losses, but on the Big picture!"

  The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening.

  Li Ji's statement at the court meeting let everyone know what the military meant.

  Afterwards, Li Ji went to drink with several old men.

   Now arrange for Jia Pingan to drink with those generals again.

   This is to help the horse and send it off for another ride.

   Violate the taboo!

  But the military has its own way of doing things. If the emperor intervenes, it will inevitably lead to a backlash.

  Li Ji said: "I remember Zhao Guogong's assertion that Tubo can only attack from the Western Regions. Someone refuted it. Zhao Guogong said something... Datang hopes to see the Tubo army rushing down from a high place. This is vision."

  He explained: "It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to attack some cities, so that Tubo can attack whenever they want, and retreat whenever they want. But if they capture Tuyuhun, they can't retreat any more."

   "Why?" The queen was puzzled.

  Li Ji said: "Tuyuhun is a land for raising horses, and it has arable land and population. Tubo is reluctant. If Lu Dongzan voluntarily abandons Tuyuhun, the dignitaries in the country will tear him to pieces."

   Li Zhi understood, "This is to lure him with profit."

  Li Ji nodded, "But Lu Dong praised his wisdom. After Datang wiped out Liaodong, he would not attack Tuyuhun, otherwise he would give the opportunity to Datang."

   "This is the vision of the commander in chief!" Wu Mei said.

  Li Ji nodded.

  The emperor looked at Li Ji.

  Li Ji's eyes were warm and downcast slightly, but he didn't avoid it.

  The queen was silent on the side.

   After a long time, relief appeared in the emperor's eyes.

   "I see."

  Li Ji stood up and saluted, "I am old, I can no longer mount a horse and kill the enemy."

   This is the bones of beggars!

  From today onwards, I can no longer go to war!

   This is more of a ritual.

  An old minister, an emperor in his prime.

  The emperor got up and walked over, helped Li Ji up with his own hands, and said in a warm voice: "You have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, you have been born and died, I know everything."

  The veterans of the late emperor's period were gradually withering, but it did not make the emperor feel depressed, but excited.

   "The British Duke will not go out in the future."

  The emperor watched Li Ji leave with a calm expression.

  Queen said: "Thinking back when the powerful officials were in power, if it weren't for the British Duke, it would be difficult for Your Majesty."

  —To be a man, one must have a conscience.

  The emperor nodded, "Li Ji abandoned martial arts, Cheng Zhijie and others are old, there is only one Su Dingfang..."

  Outside the city, Yiqi rushed in as if flying.

  Then report to enter the palace.

   "Your Majesty, Xing Guogong's memorial."

  Su Dingfang is currently in Longyou, and is fully responsible for the defense of Tubo.

  Li Zhi took the memorial, bowed his head...

  When he raised his head again, he said to Wu Mei: "Su Dingfang said that unless the Great Tang declines, or there is a big enemy in the Great Tang from another direction, Tubo will not attack Tuyuhun again."

  Wu Mei raised her eyes, and there was joy in her eyes, "Although Ping An has not yet reached Longyou, it is so asserted."

   This look!

  …

   Jia Pingan invited Xue Rengui to drink.

  After drinking for three rounds, Xue Rengui said with some distress: "The old man has been staying in the palace of guards all these years, and he is not allowed to use his hands and feet."

  Some people in later generations said that Xue Rengui was born as a commoner, no, this one was born in the Xue family in Hedong, and his father and ancestors were all officials, but because his father left early, his family was in decline.

  The children of ordinary people are not skilled in bowing horses, and it is even more impossible to scare the Koreans in the first battle.

   "There are many opportunities."

  Jia Ping'an's voice was very calm.

  Xue Rengui raised his eyes, and his eyes burst out with splendor.

"where?"

  Jia Pingan said: "Many tribes in the grassland seem to be convinced, but they are secretly ambitious. Tubo has licked his wounds and is ready to move. Ashina Helu has recharged his energy for many years, waiting for a good opportunity."

  As for Dashi, there is no need to say, it is useless to Xue Rengui... It is impossible to use him to fight against Dashi.

   Xue Rengui looked at him.

  Why does this old man obey you?

  Jia Pingan looked at him and said calmly: "It is foolish to attack Tubo."

   Xue Rengui suggested to attack Tubo.

  He smiled, "Why?"

   Jia Ping'an said: "Tubo is on a high ground, and the soldiers will be out of breath when they go up. It's not bad to be able to achieve 40% of the bravery."

  Xue Rengui smiled, "Then how to remove the threat from Tubo?"

   "Western Regions!"

  Jia Pingan stood up, "There should be no competition between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for the gains and losses of a city or a land. Tubo is now in power, and this is a good opportunity."

  He walked out, Shen Qiu was standing outside.

   "You asked us to come to testify about the conversation between you and Xue Rengui?"

   Jia Pingan nodded.

  Shen Qiu went out side by side with him, "Xue Rengui is not convinced."

   "Why should I convince him?"

   Xue Rengui's combat history is very clear, he is a fierce general. Later, after defeating Dafeichuan, he found an excuse for himself, saying that he should not fight in the west in the year of Gengwu.

  In Jia Pingan's eyes, Xue Rengui and Xue Wanche are both generals of the same level, fierce generals!

   A fierce general can do all the way, but he can't control the overall situation.

  The follow-up Pei Xingjian and others are more comprehensive than Xue Rengui.

  Walking outside the door, Shen Qiu asked: "Do you have anything to tell Your Majesty?"

   Jia Pingan squinted at the pedestrians outside.

   "Datang's eyes should not be limited to one city and one place. Tubo is not the biggest threat."

  …

   "Zhao Guogong said that Datang's biggest threat is himself."

  Shen Qiu stood below with his hands tied, remembering Jia Ping's expression when he said this.

   Ridicule!

  Who is he disdaining?

  The emperor was silent for a long time.

  Queen said: "In all dynasties and dynasties, you are defeated first, and then the foreign enemies have a chance to rush in and fight."

  The emperor nodded, "Sincerely!"

  Queen asked: "What else did he say?"

  Shen Qiu said: "Duke Zhao said... Your Majesty should find a time to go hunting in the Western Regions."

  Wu Mei was taken aback.

  The emperor's pupils suddenly burst into splendor.

   "Hunting!"

yes!

  He wanted to conscript himself several times, but was stopped every time.

   "I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

  The emperor stood up slowly, his eyes piercing.

  …

Good night!
