The next day, at the court, Wei Zheng brought up this topic again.

This time, not only Wei Zheng, but also Zhang Liang, and some other ministers agreed to take the opportunity to attack Youzhou.

"Your Majesty, not long ago Li Yi used despicable means to snatch Longyou of my Tang Dynasty, not only that, but also broke a finger of Shen Guogong. Is Your Majesty going to swallow this tone?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, Youzhou has inexhaustible food, good horses that travel thousands of miles a day, and delicious and fatty pork. With these, our Tang Dynasty's strength will definitely increase several times."

"It's not just horses and food, but also the astonishing papermaking technology, which is fast and flexible. In addition, there are curved plows and columbine carts..."

The ministers listed the good things of You Tang one by one, wishing they could immediately put them in their pockets and become the things of the Great Tang.

In recent years, because of Youzhou's developed papermaking and printing techniques, they have also gained a lot of glory. At least they no longer need to use small bamboo sticks to go to the latrine.

You don't need to go through such cumbersome things as bathing and changing clothes, and you can easily solve the problem of going to the latrine, which is clean and hygienic.

But after all, these things are not owned by Datang. The toilet paper and other supplies they got in their hands have passed through several vendors, and the price is quite expensive, and they can't afford it in the long run.

Therefore, the most direct way is to hold these things in your own hands. In this way, not only is it inexhaustible, but it is also equivalent to an extra golden mountain.

Why worry about the empty treasury and cash-strapped money?
In the main hall, all the officials have different thoughts.

But their words undoubtedly moved Li Shimin's heart a little bit.

If it weren't for the low national power, who would be subjected to such a grandson.

But he still has some scruples.

"Your Majesty, not to mention whether Li Yi was responsible for the assassination of Princess Changle and the Ninth Prince, just because they happened in Li Yi's imperial city, he has to give us an explanation."

Zhang Liang belonged to the main combat faction. After the others had finished speaking, he saw that Li Shimin was still hesitant, so he stood up again to speak out.

"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity." Gao Shilian immediately stood up.

Ever since Cheng Ji became enmity with Li Yi, Gao Shilian spared no effort to deal with him.

Wei Zheng also came out and said: "Your Majesty, please make an order."

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he stared straight into the eyes, now two-thirds of the people in the court advocated the conquest of Youzhou, and the rest of them who held opposing opinions were ignored at all.

"Conquer, send troops, how many soldiers and horses do you think our Great Tang has that can fight You Tang?"

"It's nice to say that Youzhou's military strength is empty, but have you ever understood how many soldiers and horses there are in Youzhou now? Open your mouth and shut up and shout to send troops. Do you really think that Youzhou is easy to fight?"

Cheng Yaojin said angrily, even if no one listened, he still wanted to say that it was not for Li Yi, but for Datang.

He is well aware of Li Yi's strength, even if he transfers his troops away, he will not leave his base camp unguarded.

The reason why he dared to mobilize so many soldiers and horses must be that he had already prepared a backup player. If they attacked rashly, they might not be able to capture Youzhou, and he would die.

"I said Lu Guogong, you have always devoted yourself to Youtang, and we all know it, but why do you want to spoil your own prestige by aspiring others?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed, and silently scolded Zhang Liang: "Your mother and maidservant!"

"Duke Xun said so firmly, presumably the winning ticket is in his hands?"

Zhang Liang nodded, "That's natural. Is it possible that my soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty can't deal with mere tens of thousands of horses?"

Zhang Liang didn't care about this.

Cheng Yaojin laughed again, "My old Cheng admires Duke Xun's courage, but when Xieli led an army of 10,000+ to Youzhou, you probably thought the same way, it's a pity... last time When my old Cheng went to Youzhou, I saw his head hanging on the city wall of Youzhou, I wonder if Duke Xun also wants to try it."

"you……"

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, the faces of the officials changed slightly, and they couldn't help but think of the unparalleled battle a few years ago. Li Yi was only tens of thousands of horses, but he abruptly left the 10,000+ Turkic army under the city of Youzhou.

Thinking of this, they had to think of the Mo family who helped Li Yi back then, and the fearsome Mo family mechanism beast.

With people from the Mohists around, can they really take Youzhou easily if they raise their troops to the north?
Cheng Yaojin's words were like a splash of cold water, calming down those ministers who were about to make a move.

Li Shimin is also like a slap in the face, let me ask, whether it is the Turkic army or the coalition army of five surnames and seven Wangs, who of them is not more than their current force, but what is the result?Not all of them were buried under the city of Youzhou!

"Report... the Supreme Emperor's secret letter!"

Just when Li Shimin was about to give up the idea of ​​attacking Youzhou, the secret letter sent by Li Yuan also arrived at the main hall.

Li Shimin hastily asked someone to submit it. At this time, the letter from the Supreme Emperor must be related to the assassination of Changle and the young slave. Li Shimin opened the letter impatiently.

After he read the letter, he completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking Youzhou.

"Come here and pass on the secret letter of the Supreme Emperor." He didn't bother to say it anymore, he put the letter on the tray and let the civil and military officials circulate it by themselves.

"You dear ministers, read this letter carefully before deciding whether to send troops or not."

The faces of those who read the letter were not very good. Cheng Yaojin asked someone to read it again, and laughed after listening to it.

The Taishanghuang's letter came at the right time, otherwise... the Great Tang would have to be destroyed.

"This is impossible. How could there be such a powerful thing in the world, a small black ball, could it be possible to turn the world upside down?"

The well-planned plan was disrupted, and Zhang Liang was the first to be unwilling.

"Is the Supreme Emperor a bit too fussy, but it's just a small black ball. Could it be that we gave up this great opportunity because of such a small thing?"

"Okay, you don't have to trust the words of the Supreme Emperor, but don't forget that the bomb was developed by the giant of the Mo family." Li Shimin made a decision in his heart, and sternly stopped everyone's controversy.

After learning that the young slave was by his father's side, Li Shimin felt a little relieved.

As for Changle, General Zhennan of Youtang fell off the cliff with her in order to save her, so it would be unreasonable for him to pursue the matter. I just hope they can find Luo Tong and Changle quickly.

I also hope that Changle can return safely.

Even though he was thinking this way, Li Shimin didn't know what to do. With such a high cliff, I'm afraid...

.........

Dahe's camp.

More than 30 troops stood neatly in front of Li Yi, each of them full of energy and momentum, each carrying daily necessities and stored grain, ready to go.
