Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 579 Li Ji, First Contact

"Li Ji welcomes His Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

.....

Following the loud voices coming from the front, Shu An also knew that he had really arrived in Liaodong.

In fact, Liaodong also has cities, but in order to threaten Goguryeo, it is naturally impossible for Li Ji to defend in the cities.

But now that this majesty has come, it doesn't matter much if he retreats a little bit.

But when we arrived at the border town, this was naturally Li Shimin's home field, and some of the soldiers might have heard of Shu'an's name.

However, in fact, he also didn't know Shu An, so it made Shu An a little weird.

Because this is an experience I have never tried, although I am very curious about why an old man appeared in the border town.

These soldiers didn't ask anything, obviously the rules are restrictive, but there is no such thing as a circle without rules.

Especially in Liaodong, some conflicts will occur from time to time, and naturally there are no rules.

Of course, it also shows that Li Ji, who is in control of Liaodong, is capable, at least there is no need for Li Xiuning's jet lag.

"I didn't expect that Liaodong controlled by Mr. Xu is so organized."

Even Li Xiuning couldn't help but praise her teacher, with a hint of admiration in her words.

Shu An smiled slightly. After all, Li Xiuning was a daughter after all, which caused people to underestimate her a lot.

Don't look at the name of the third wife of the Li family, but after all, there is only one in this era.

If Li Xiuning were to change her identity, then I'm afraid there would be no such possibility.

Of course, Xiu Ning's ability is considered good among military generals, at least it is worse than a few others.

And this Mr. Xu is one of them. Li Ji, formerly known as Xu Shiji, is why Xiu Ning called him Mr. Xu.

Of course, Shu An is not unfamiliar with the name Xu Shiji. There are many TV dramas in later generations, but there are stories about this name.

Compared with Zhang Shigui being hacked, then Li Ji is gone, basically seeking truth from facts.

But it also highlights a military talent, which naturally belongs to generals and the like.

"Teacher, we have been living here for a while."

When Shu An's thoughts were racing, Li Xiuning's voice sounded.

After entering Liaoxi City, it was naturally Li Xiuning who led the way.

After all, this is not the same as the past few years, and Liaoxi City has not changed much.

And just after Li Ji took over Liaodong, he didn't live in the place where Li Xiuning stayed before.

It's also possible that Li Ji didn't want to conflict with this princess. After all, both men and women have some problems with their identities.

It would be better to find another place, and now Li Xiuning naturally brought her teacher to the place where she lived before.

Even though he hasn't been here for a few years, Li Xiuning still has a lot of memories in his eyes.

Obviously, I have spent many days and nights here, and I have experienced many bitter emotions and so on.

"Ok!"

Shu An said, he is not picky about where he lives.

Whether in later life or this life, he is not picky about the living environment.

Whether there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain is enough. You must know when you are traveling around the world.

Sometimes the conditions are even very bad, but Shu An still doesn't care.

The current conditions are much better, so naturally there is no reason to dislike him.

........

After coming to Liaodong, Li Shimin did not appear in front of Shu An.

Of course, Shu An didn't care, anyway, this was expected.

After Li Shimin's arrival, Li Ji's natural position had to step back.

Now it is up to Li Shimin to decide the direction of Liaodong. Of course, Li Shimin also has talents in various aspects.

At least in terms of military warfare, Li Shimin still won't lose to anyone.

At this point, there are basically not too many intrigues and tricks, and it depends on the confrontation in the battle between the army.

"Master, those tribes have begun to send people to contact them."

Shu Kuanghu appeared beside Shu An at some point and said respectfully.

"Well, what effect does it have?"

Shu An couldn't help but continue to speak, this was a good start.

"My lord, it's not difficult to get in touch with these foreigners, maybe they have a lot of contact with the Han people."

Shu Kuanghu thought for a while and continued to speak. In his words, he was obviously very optimistic about contacting these tribes.

"Then keep in contact, and let the cooks you bring entertain these tribesmen."

As if thinking of something, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

Although the food in the army is similar, it does not include Shu'an.

Strictly speaking, he is not considered to be in the army, and the natural rules are not strict.

This time he still brought a lot of food, which happened to come in handy.

It is good to know that these tribes living in the deep mountains can have enough food and clothing.

As for the seasoning and the like, then there is no need to think too much.

Now, it can teach these natives a lesson, at least Shu An intends to cultivate the desire of these people.

You must know that for food, there are temptations for all types and groups of people.

Just like how we dealt with Fusang before, we can use this method to deal with these tribes now, at least Shu An feels pretty good.

"Yes, sir!"

Under Shu An's reminder, Shu Kuanghu quickly said with a gleam in his eyes.

Obviously already knew how to do it, because it had been demonstrated before.

On the other hand, Li Xiuning, who was on the side, had some doubts on her face, and she didn't know why her teacher did this.

"Xiu Ning, do you think food is attractive?"

Seemingly seeing the doubts of this disciple, Shu An couldn't help asking back.

Li Xiuning was stunned at first, but she seemed to have some understanding.

"If you want these tribes to rely on Datang, then you must make these tribes feel that they can live better by relying on Datang."

"If you can live a better life, then who is willing to use weapons easily?!"

Before Li Xiuning could say anything, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

At this moment, Li Xiuning still understood the meaning of her teacher's words.

For the next time, Shu An was not in a hurry, anyway, he was accompanied by his apprentice every day.

But I got a taste of the scenery of Liaodong. Strictly speaking, the situation in Liaodong is still very different from that of the grassland.

For example, in terms of race, the Goguryeo people are not as burly as the foreign races in the grassland.

Of course, Shu An didn't care about the racial differences. The key point was that Goguryeo didn't have too many cavalry.

Naturally, the edge is not as sharp as the grassland, but although the country is small, the ambition is not small.

Goguryeo has always threatened the Liaodong border of the Tang Dynasty, and this has begun since the Sui Dynasty.

This can also prove the strength of Goguryeo, but unfortunately it is impossible to overthrow Goguryeo now.

5 Chapter [-] Liaodong decision-making, the key

You must know that in history, Goguryeo dispatched more than 15 troops to fight Datang.

This kind of military strength can be said to be rare in the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, even the Turks did not necessarily have this kind of military strength before.

Not to mention that Turkic people are all soldiers, but Goguryeo does not have it, and Goguryeo has a lot of natural population.

In addition, Goguryeo's small territory also has some advantages, that is, there is not much room for defense.

On the contrary, Datang has a vast territory and there are too many places to defend, on the land of Liaodong.

It is also not so easy for Datang's military strength to surpass Goguryeo, at most it is better than one or two chips.

If you want to crush it in terms of numbers, it is impossible. Of course, Goguryeo also has obvious shortcomings.

That is, resources are scarce, and perhaps more than [-] soldiers and horses can be pulled up at a time, but after these soldiers and horses are exhausted.

Then it means that in the next many years, it is impossible for Goguryeo to recover.

On the contrary, if Datang lost more than [-] people, it would not be a serious injury.

Even if the population of Datang is in war, there are still tens of millions of people left.

It can be said that it is not difficult to pull up a team. Of course, there are still many bad effects behind it.

If it is not a last resort, it is difficult to deal with the aftermath of so many people dying.

While Shu An was talking about it, Li Shimin and many generals were hesitating in the tent.

Among them, Li Shimin, who sat first in the middle, couldn't help showing a trace of contemplation.

In the past few days, the situation in Liaodong has also been the key to their discussion.

It's just that there has been no result. The reason is very simple, that is, they have no determination to win.

Now the Liaodong confrontation has a total of 10,000+ soldiers and horses.

It can be said that once a war starts, it must be a shocking battle.

You must know that even in the troubled times before, there were still few wars of this scale.

Of course, if the reason for the undecided decision, then naturally it is not because of this one.

Naturally, this emperor has no lack of determination, and the main hesitation is whether to really go to war with Goguryeo.

After all, Li Shimin will not forget that it mainly depends on the battle situation on the grassland.

As for Liaodong, just hold on, even if the news of the grassland is now known to Liaodong.

But these forces in Liaodong are destined not to have too many ideas, because now Liaodong also has some difficulties in protecting itself.

It has become a mess, how can there be any idea to manage the grassland.

"I don't know what everyone present thinks about Liaodong?"

Li Shimin finally spoke out first, wanting to hear the thoughts of these people.

If you brainstorm, you may be able to come up with some better methods.

"Your Majesty, I suggest sending troops to Goguryeo to show off the prestige of Tang Dynasty."

A school lieutenant from the Forbidden Army said with some naivety on his face.

In his view, Goguryeo is just a small country, and there is no need to go to war.

Li Shimin glared at the captain, as if he recognized him.

He is a school lieutenant who entered the Imperial Guard through connections, so Li Shimin naturally turned a blind eye.

I didn't expect that he looks okay, but he has a lot of arrogance.

Looking at one sentence, he knew that he had never studied the situation in Liaodong. Facing this captain, Li Shimin had already been sentenced to death in his heart.

Such a person absolutely cannot be allowed to lead troops, but after the first person spoke, someone else spoke next.

"Your Majesty, we are still standing still, this time the purpose is to stabilize Liaodong."

"That's right. Even though the grassland has a lot of confidence, we still have to be on the safe side."
