Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

For two days, Li Shimin played mahjong in a daze, unable to stop.

Because he had to go back to court, he resisted the addiction in his heart, got up in the morning, had breakfast, and prepared to go back.

A table of breakfast, very rich.

Su Yu drank soy milk and ate slowly.

The four of Empress Changsun gobbled it up.

"Aniang, what you did just now doesn't count, I should have blamed it."

Xiao Sizi gnawed the corn in his mouth, talking while eating.

"Obviously it's your bad luck, so A Niang should win."

The queen ate a tiger skin egg and said proudly.

Xue Ji shook her head and said, "No, it's because I didn't feed my cards properly, and I should have been a kid."

Princess Changle quit, patted the table and said, "I just said that you colluded with Xiao Si, A Niang, they cheated."

The four of them were still talking about the game just now while eating.

While waiting for breakfast just now, they played the first game of the day.

Li Shimin suddenly felt that being the emperor was a burden.

The queen can ignore everything, just squat here and play mahjong with Su Yu, how cool it is.

"Shopkeeper, we seem to have business and forgot to ask Mr. Su."

Wei Zheng said.

With this reminder, Li Shimin remembered the matter of destroying Gaochang.

Li Shimin thought to himself: among the three ministers, Wei Zheng has the best self-control ability, not bad.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were probably still thinking about playing mahjong, their eyes were staring, and they were so out of their minds after eating.

"Brother, this time Li Er wants to ask about the matter of destroying Gaochang."

Li Shimin asked.

He was so busy playing mahjong that he almost forgot about state affairs, and he was going to die.

"The thing is like this, because at that time we had to deal with the Turkic Jieli, and we were worried that Gaochang would take advantage of it, so we asked Hou Junji to send troops to Hexi to attack Gaochang."

"Later, Jieli was eliminated. Hou Junji wanted to destroy Gaochang, but failed."

"Now that Gao Chang feels that the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with him, so he plunders the merchants and blocks the roads in the Western Regions."

"What about Li Er, he wants to destroy Gao Chang, but he doesn't know what to do."

"That's why I want to ask Mr. Su, what's your strategy here?"

Wei Zheng asked.

The cause and effect have been explained clearly, just waiting for Su Yu to speak.

Speaking of such a major national event, Empress Changsun should have been very concerned about it.

But with mahjong, the queen doesn't want to hear it anymore.

"Eat slowly, I'll be fine."

The queen got up.

Chang Le and Xiao Si dropped the breakfast in their hands, Xue Ji had a piece of corn in her mouth, and with a huff, they all entered the chess and card room.

The sound of rubbing mahjong sounded, and another day of fighting began.

The sound of mahjong crackling made Li Shimin's heart itch, but there was still work to be done.

"This thing."

Su Yu was full, got up and lay down on the rocking chair, and said slowly.

"Gaochang is far away."

"He is at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, the outpost of Western Turks."

"It's normal for Hou Junji to be unable to attack for a long time. It's too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and there is Western Turkic support behind it."

Li Shimin nodded, he was right.

The competition for Gaochang is actually to prepare for the subsequent destruction of the Western Turks.

Fang Xuanling jumped out suddenly and said, "Master Su, actually I don't think the Western Regions are worth it."

"The Western Regions are just famous horses. Anyway, the Western Turks will sell horses to the Central Plains to sell."

"And when we captured the Western Regions, we couldn't plant them, and we didn't pay taxes. It's just a burden."

During the Tang Dynasty, there were not a few people who held this view.

In other words, there was this dispute in ancient times, whether to want the Western Regions, and which one is more pros and cons.

Li Shimin didn't speak after hearing this.

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Old Fang, your words are not right."

"There are not only famous horses in the Western Regions, but also beautiful orchids."

"After more than 1000 years, do you know how many beauties were born in the Western Regions?"

"The Western Regions must be in our hands, even if it is to leave the seeds of beautiful women for future generations."

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty captured the Western Regions and had an excuse to compete for Dawan's bloody BMW. This Su Yu said so directly, is it for the beauty?

And more than 1000 years later?

Only Su Yu could say such nonsense.

Li Shimin asked: "Then how to capture Gaochang?"

Su Yu chuckled and said, "It's actually simple, as long as you don't expect it."

"It hasn't been fought in these years, and King Gaochang is very arrogant."

"Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, told his sons and left: He has seen Qin and the north of Long, and the cities are in depression.

"He predicted that Datang would not dare to send more troops, because there would not be enough military supplies on the road."

"But if it's less than [-], Gao Chang can control it.

Coupled with the hardships and dangers of the desert, even if the Tang army could come, they would be extremely exhausted, waiting for work at leisure, without any worries. "

"That's what he told his son Ju Zhisheng."

puff.
Wei Zheng sprayed soy milk on his breakfast.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui looked disgusted.

"Old Wei, what are you doing?"

Du Ruhui said with disgust.

"I'm sorry, I was choked by Mr. Su."

Wei Zheng chuckled.

There was no way to eat breakfast, so Su Yu asked someone to clear the table.

"Master Su, you are going too far."

"How did you know about the private conversation between Ju Wentai and his son?"

"Don't play us for fools."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said.

He felt that Su Yu was too clever, he dared to say that.

Between father and son, it might be something they said during dinner.

Su Yu is in Sujiazhuang, and Ju Wentai is in Gaochang Kingdom, we all know this.

Wei Zheng called it too fake.

"It's simple, you catch the prince Ju Zhisheng and ask him if he said so."

Su Yu said indifferently.

Wei Zheng couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly.

"Master Su, why don't you ask Ju Wentai directly, but ask his son Ju Zhisheng instead?"

Wei Zheng laughed.

He felt that Su Yu was teasing him.

The Gaochang Kingdom has not yet been destroyed, so how can we ask Ju Zhisheng?
Besides, the king Ju Wentai is still there, so if you ask him, you must find his son.

Su Yu said: "Because waiting for Hou Junji to send troops again, King Ju Wentai of Gaochang was frightened to death."

puff.
Li Shimin still had a glass of milk in his hand, so he burst out laughing.

The four leaned forward and backward with laughter.

King Ju Wentai was frightened to death.

The queen was playing mahjong, and the little sizi heard the laughter outside, and asked strangely, "Mother, what are they laughing at?"

The queen heard it, but her mind was on mahjong.

"Leave them alone, with your brother Su here, nothing will happen."

"Hurry up, Auntie is about to be fooled."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "My dear brother, you finally told a joke."

"Ju Wentai was scared to death."

Li Shimin had just finished breakfast, and his stomach ached from laughing.

"Oh, I can't do it."

Du Ruhui covered his stomach and laughed.

"Young Master Su, the King of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, has been in battle for a long time, and fought against Hou Junji."

"How could it be possible that I was frightened to death when I heard Hou Junji dispatching troops?"

Fang Xuanling laughed out loud.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Master Su, in my opinion, Ju Wentai was scared to death by Hou Junji."

"He should have been scared to death by your words."
