Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 168 Li Shimin Refuses Again

Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly when he heard the words, without any wavering in his heart.

After all, their letter to Goguryeo has been sent urgently, waiting for the other party's response.

"Ai Qing, you don't need to say any more, you are the minister of the Humerus of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never allow you to take risks." Li Shimin waved his sleeves, with an awe-inspiring expression on his face.

Luo Bin frowned, and almost couldn't help but spit it out.

If he heard Li Shimin's words before he knew his true face, he might still be moved, but now he only feels deeply disgusted.

"Your Majesty, I am a minister of the Great Tang, and I should devote myself to the Great Tang until I die." Luo Bin cupped his hands at Li Shimin, his eyes full of determination, "Even if I sacrificed for the Great Tang, I will never regret it."

"There are many military generals in the court. Aiqing should stay in Chang'an." Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly, and then said in a deep voice.

"........."

Why is this soft and hard?
Luo Bin's mentality was about to collapse, and he frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, even if I don't say anything, you must know it well."

"Most of our generals in the Tang Dynasty have only kung fu and no brains. After they go to the battlefield, they can only arrange troops in a superficial way, and they basically don't know how to change them. Jieli has always been insidious, and he uses troops like a god."

"Don't say that our current military strength, weapons, war horses, etc. are all very different. Now it seems that even if they are the same, we may not be able to win against the Turks!"

Luo Bin's words were harsh to Li Shimin's ears.

What's the matter?The generals of the Tang Dynasty have no brains, but you have one?
If my Tang Dynasty were gone, wouldn’t it be impossible to forget the country?

"Aiqing's words are wrong. Most of my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty have fought with me from south to north, and have a lot of combat experience. They will definitely not..."

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Luo Bin directly picked him up, "Your Majesty, if this is the truth, then the minister didn't say anything."

"However, the fact is that General Hou used all the soldiers in Bingzhou, but he couldn't even beat a small Turkic vanguard!"

After saying that, Luo Bin raised his eyes again and said: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou is an important border area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, it is very important to the Tang Dynasty, General Hou can't defend it!"

"And it's not that the humble minister looks down on him. In terms of his IQ, no matter how much troops His Majesty gave him, it would be useless."

Li Shimin heard that the creases between his brows were deeper, if he hadn't needed to take into account the royal face, he would have wished to give Luo Bin a slap in the face right away.

"What's the matter? Aiqing means that the sum of all the soldiers of my Tang Dynasty is not as good as you?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was slightly raised, with a hint of threat.

"I don't mean that. All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are stronger than me, but Your Majesty is willing to gather them together to guard only one Bingzhou?" Luo Bin frowned, without flinching at all.

"you……"

Li Shimin felt that he was going to die of anger.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of offending the generals. In terms of martial arts, my Tang soldiers are absolutely unparalleled in the world. They should not be underestimated. But in terms of tactics, they are definitely not my opponents."

Speaking of this, Luo Bin raised his eyes to look at Li Shimin again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty must be aware of this point."

Of course Li Shimin knew it!
It is well known that Luo Bin is the number one think tank in the world.

However, it was because Luo Bin had such strength that he was afraid of Luo Binduo.

"I still say the same thing, since Aiqing is unparalleled in her schemes, then she can offer her advice in Chang'an."

"It's bitterly cold when traveling north. I'm afraid Aiqing's small body won't be able to withstand the hardship."

Li Shimin lowered his eyes slightly, then rubbed his temples helplessly and said, "Go down first, I'm tired."

However, Luo Bin did not move at all, and continued to kneel on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, even if you send troops to support General Hou, it is impossible to disperse the Turks with his strength."

"No matter how many people you send, it will be in vain! And our Tang Dynasty's military strength is already insufficient, so how can we let others consume it?"

Luo Bin's eyes were firm, "Your Majesty, my minister's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon, please allow your majesty to lead the troops to the north!"

Speaking of this, Luo Bin gritted his teeth and continued: "If your Majesty is unwilling to trust the humble minister, I can issue a military order. If I fail to guard Bingzhou well, I am willing to apologize with death."

"........."

Li Shimin did not move at all when he heard this.

After all, in his view, if Luo Bin had turned against him, he would naturally not abide by the military order, and it would be for nothing if he made it.

"No." Li Shimin shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "If Aiqing really fails, I will never be willing to kill you."

"The Turkic people are full of tricks, and the war changes too much, which is unpredictable. I will never agree with Aiqing to take risks."

Pack!
Just dress it up!

Luo Bin wished he could go up and give Li Shimin a big mouth now to see if he could wake him up.

The plots and calculations in his head are all against his own people, and now he is full of guard against him, completely ignoring the safety of the people of Bingzhou.

But even so, Luo Bin could only kowtow heavily to Li Shimin, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou is the back cover of my minister. I have a very special feeling for him, and I really can't bear it to fall into the hands of the Turks."

"Furthermore, Bingzhou is an important defense center of the Tang Dynasty. Once it falls, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Seeing this, the crease between Li Shimin's brows deepened a little, why didn't he usually see that Luo Bin was such a stalker?
After a deep sigh, Li Shimin said helplessly: "Aiqing, do you think that you are the only capable person in this Tang Dynasty?"

"Could it be that no one can guard it except you?"

"I don't mean that." Luo Bin raised his head and said firmly, "But I can say with certainty that Hou Junji will never be able to defend."

"........."

This is simply blatant ridicule.

Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows when he heard the words, no matter what he said, he had to admit that what Luo Bin said was not unreasonable.

Hou Junji is really not that well-established piece of material. If you let him charge into the battle, you should have nothing to say, but if you let him command the army to fight, it will definitely be difficult for a strong man.

And Bingzhou is indeed an inescapable part of Datang.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally sighed softly, "Then what do you think of Li Jing?"

Luo Bin was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "It would be better if General Li Jing is willing to take command. After all, he is the God of War general known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty."

As long as Bingzhou can be saved in the end, it doesn't matter who it is.

If Li Jing goes to Bingzhou, then the chance of winning is at least [-]%.

And it will help him save a lot of troops and energy, so why not do it?

After hearing Luo Bin's words, Li Shimin nodded, and then responded: "In this case, you should go back first, I will go to Li Jing personally and talk about it later."
