Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Yes, this is the plan of Li Shen and Li Chengqian.

It can also be said that Li Shen came up with the plan himself. He thought about it that day and finally came up with the bitter trick among the 36 tricks.

Even Prime Minister Cao was deceived at first, which proved that this trick must be effective.

However, this plan requires the cooperation of one person, the imperial physician.

So Li Shen quietly found the imperial physician overnight, and used coercion and inducement. Finally, the imperial physician voluntarily expressed his willingness to help His Royal Highness Prince Ji act.

And Li Daozong is also a key figure. After Li Chengqian was injured, he needed someone to cover him, and this person Li Shen was definitely not suitable. Cheng Yaojin was unreliable, let alone the others.

As a member of the clan, Li Daozong and Li Shen still believed it.

When Li Daozong knew about this plan, he felt it was feasible. This is Li Chengqian's best chance to restore his reputation.

So this matter was planned like this. Li Chengqian didn't agree with it originally. He felt that this was a bit aggrieved to Li Shen.

You must know that this incident had a very bad impact on Li Shen in the army, or it gave him a bad reputation.

But Li Shen didn't care. He wasn't a general and couldn't lead troops in war. It didn't matter whether he had influence or not.

This is what touched Li Chengqian the most. If he wanted to compete for the throne, who wouldn't want to have a certain influence in the military.

The plan was executed perfectly, and the superb performances by Li Shen and Li Chengqian made it difficult for many people to tell the truth from fiction.

"Tenth brother, what do you need to do next?" Li Chengqian asked as he ate the beef that Li Shen brought over and took a sip of wine.

"Who are you asking? You are the marshal and you are asking me?" Li Shen replied angrily.

"I know I am the marshal. According to the plan, after you deal with them, the army can move, but now I have to rest for some time? But this time, the 40-strong army is resting and recuperating, and the consumption is too great."

Li Chengqian also rolled his eyes and said.

The meaning is very clear, that is, the plan has changed. He is now a patient and will die if exposed to light.

"This is not simple. What you want to do can be conveyed through the emperor's mouth. You are only injured, not dead.

It's okay to say a few words when you're weak. "Li Shen spoke straightforwardly. He almost made Li Chengqian angry to death.

"Your Highness, I think King Ji said it is feasible. In fact, we currently only have two goals, one is to add corpses, and the other is farther away, called Momi. These two city veterans estimate that they have a high chance of surrendering.

After that, we are thinking of ways to solve Liaodong City.

Your Highness, you can send Lu Guogong to conquer the two cities. Once you come back, Your Highness's illness will be much better. "

Sure enough, ginger is still the best. Li Daozong explained the method and Li Chengqian thought it was feasible.

So he nodded and said:

"Okay, then do as the emperor said. Tomorrow, the emperor will tell Duke Lu to attack Jiashi and Momi. All other generals will be absent."

Li Shen also agreed.

The next day, Li Daozong found Cheng Yaojin and conveyed the order given by Li Chengqian when he was weak in the morning.

Cheng Yaojin stared at Li Daozong with his ox-like eyes, as if he could see something from his face.

"King Jiangxia, tell me the truth, Old Cheng, how is the prince doing now?"

Li Daozong was a little frightened by Cheng Yaojin's stare, but he still said seriously;

"Gong Lu, His Highness the Crown Prince's injury is not serious. It is just a flesh wound. It will get better soon. You can just carry out the order with peace of mind."

True or false, what Li Daozong said made Cheng Yaojin a little unsure. He actually felt that there must be something going on here, but he just didn't know what it was.

But now that the prince had orders, he had to listen, so he nodded.

"In that case, I'm relieved. Please tell King Jiangxia to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that these two cities can be regarded as a meeting gift for me."

Li Daozong was very satisfied with Cheng Yaojin's answer.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yaojin beat drums to gather his generals, broke camp and went to add corpses. Before leaving, Li Shen told Cheng Yaojin:

"Gong Lu, before entering the city, let the soldiers read the rules for entering the city. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect themselves if they make mistakes. Don't doubt my determination and strength.

I can still investigate this matter clearly. "

Cheng Yaojin had no objection to Li Shen's threat, because Li Shimin also agreed with it. Opposing Li Shen was nothing, but opposing Li Shimin was seeking death.

Soon after the army finished cleaning up, under Cheng Yaojin's order, the entire army began to march eastward, heading straight for Jiashi City.

Li Shen came to the handsome tent, sat down on the rocking chair, ate fruit in his hand and said:

"I finally got this old devil away. If he didn't leave, I would always feel uneasy."

Li Chengqian also said with a smile;

"Although Mr. Lu is lawless, his loyalty is unquestionable. I think he is just a little irritable."

"More than frivolous, but the eldest brother is right. There is no doubt about his loyalty. If the eldest brother succeeds to the throne in the future, Duke Lu will still be available."

"Tenth brother, there is no problem for Duke Lu to attack those two cities. The problem now is Liaodong City, which is a fortress-like city.

Their city has a moat. Although the city wall is only more than three feet long, it has an inner city and an outer city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. "

Li Shen also thought about it carefully and found that the moat of Liaodong City was indeed very wide, which was not conducive to siege, and the precautions were well taken.

Even if Li Shen had a hot air balloon, he didn't know if it would be useful.

Especially the moat is a problem.

The former Sui Dynasty lost many soldiers and generals here.

"Brother, let's first send someone to check how many defenders there are in Liaodong City and make plans. Liaodong City is the only way for us to return to the Tang Dynasty.

As long as we capture Liaodong City, we won't have to go around the Khitan territory. "

In fact, Li Shen also had an idea to build a cement road from Chang'an to Goguryeo. It’s just that I don’t have enough money now, so I can only wait until next year.

"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to investigate soon," Li Chengqian nodded.

"Also to investigate the situation of grain cultivation in Goguryeo this year, I think we should send a small group of elites deep into the hinterland to rob their grain or burn their grain." Li Shen thought for a while and added.

His idea is very simple, that is, he cannot let the Goguryeo people eat enough, otherwise it will be difficult to conquer them.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This younger brother was indeed decisive and would do anything to achieve his goals.

He did this without knowing how many people in Goguryeo would starve to death, or even how many people would kill each other for food.

However, Li Chengqian was not a kind-hearted person. As long as he could occupy Goguryeo, it was necessary to use some extraordinary means. Everything is for the Tang Dynasty and for His Majesty.

Li Shen was free again and had nothing to do all day long, but soon Li Shen found a new toy, Prince Liuli.

That's right, Li Shen started to attack Li Chengqian's Prince Liuli again.
