Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

As the top gangster of the Tang Dynasty - referred to as the "Top Rank of the Tang Dynasty", His Highness the King of Chu, after leading an army of 60,000 to Gaochang, that night, he called everyone to hold a war meeting.

"Everyone, let's talk about how we should fight this battle?" In the hall of the city lord's palace, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting on top, looked at his group of good ministers and made a rare gesture. A humble gesture to sincerely discuss countermeasures with everyone.

"Your Highness, I want to tell you that we want to capture the Western Turks and kidnap Mohe Duo Khan. With so few manpower at the moment, it is actually a bit difficult..." Li Ji is a pragmatic person, even though the King of Chu has taken actions He has proved that he is not a fool, and he has his own unique understanding and insights into the art of war. However, war is not a child's play. If so many people are lost here, it will be an irreparable loss for Datang.

"Ha, it's not difficult for me to come to discuss with you, right?" Li Kuan rolled his eyes at Li Ji, always feeling that the old man had a "Xu Shu entered Cao's camp without saying a word" feeling: "I'm talking about Li Ji, Are you still thinking about my father? We have been fighting for so long, and you have never come up with a useful idea, so you are pouring cold water on me!" (Note 1)

"..." Li Ji looked at the King of Chu who was starting to mess around again. He took a deep breath and suddenly said: "King of Chu, tell me, what should we do now? Tens of thousands of troops have stationed in Gaochang. Soon, the entire Western Region will be destroyed. You know we are here. Yes, the Western Turks are currently in civil strife, but they have three to four hundred thousand people who control the strings, and that is not a show-off, not to mention that this is just a country in the Western Turks, such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun, etc. Huo Luo, and Xue Yantuo, who has returned to Tiele, when we start fighting with the Western Turks, will these people really just watch us... us..."

Suddenly, Li Ji's voice became lower and lower, and the look he looked at King Chu gradually became filled with shock - because he found that when he put these difficulties in front of His Highness King Chu, the latter even frowned. He didn't frown, but his expression became more and more excited.

It's broken... it's broken... Could it be that this guy is going to... again?

"Tell me, Mr. Li, why did you stop?" Seeing that his admirer had stopped speaking, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was about to appear as a hero, asked with some confusion.

"Your Highness, just tell me how you want to fight this battle." When Li Ji realized that something was wrong, Li Jing, who had expected it for a long time, suddenly sighed. Now he could see that His Highness the King of Chu was now I already had an idea in my mind.

Inviting everyone to come is just a matter of going through the process.

"Hehe! Sure enough, Uncle Li is the only one who knows me!" Li Kuan laughed, ignoring his uncle Chai Shao who was next to Li Jing and scolding him with his eyes. He pursed his lips, collected his thoughts, and then continued. : "We have to refer to many allusions for our battle this time, such as Han Xin's 'Building plank roads in the open, secretly hiding in Chencang', and the beheading operation in which the champion led 2 cavalry in a sudden rush... and..." (Note )

"Your Highness, this must not be done!" Li Kuan was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Dou Shilun and Jiang Qu at the same time. Then Jiang looked at Dou Shilun and then said: "If you divide your troops at this time, it is tantamount to You are looking for death! Among the eight hundred horses of Champion Hou, there are even cooks and veterinarians. This means that no matter what happens, he can solve it. More importantly, he can conquer the Huns and serve as his guides. King Chu Your reputation... even in the Western Region, can only be said to be very popular, not very good..."

Jiang Qu's last description was really euphemistic. In fact, King Chu's reputation was not only in the Western Regions, but also from the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the west to Goguryeo in the north, spanning thousands of miles of territory. According to legend, whenever the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty passed by, anyone who could breathe would have to crawl on the roadside to show their submission to the Tang Dynasty.

"It's okay, my father has a bad reputation, but that doesn't affect him from being a foolish king." His Highness King Chu waved his hands nonchalantly upon hearing this. He didn't care about this kind of thing at all.

"..." Everyone who was made to feel more complicated by King Chu's wonderful metaphor suddenly didn't know what to say.

Especially Zhang Gongjin, the only remaining "loyal minister of His Majesty Li Er" in the army, now even began to suspect that the several natural disasters that struck in the early years of Zhenguan were not God's purpose to punish His Majesty Li Er, but probably just a simple test. It’s just Tang——the one who was really sent by God to punish His Majesty Li Er...

Far away, yet so close...

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if you want to be Huo Qubing, don't you also want to ask me and others if they are happy to be Wei Qing?" After analyzing the King of Chu's plan, Li Jing immediately shook his head: "This move is too risky. Da, if you really want to learn from Champion Hou, then the Western Region will be a big quagmire for you. Once you step into it, it will be difficult to pull out."

"Who said that I want to imitate the Champion Hou in a poor way?" Li Kuan pinched his neck, and then said: "I haven't finished what I just said - except for the secret attack on Chen Cang in the village road, and the lightning attack of the Champion Hou. The most important thing is that I want to learn from Lü Meng and practice "crossing the river in white clothes". I want to form several caravans and mix with the Hu merchants from the Western Regions and the caravans from the Tang Dynasty. Depart from the place, and then lead the team to Qianquan before the pre-agreed deadline. At the same time, the army in Gaochang City will also move. The target is Qiuci, which is hundreds of miles away from Qianquan. If Qiuci can be captured in advance, Just defend the city. It doesn't matter if you can't take it. If you encircle the city with a large army, as long as you can get the Turks in Qianquan to move, then our people who sneak into Qianquan can take advantage of the empty defense of Qianquan to attack the Western Turks. The Khan Court takes action!" (Note 3)

As soon as the King of Chu said this, everyone looked at each other in confusion: Our Highness, the King of Chu, really has something in him... Could it be that the rumor that "His Royal Highness the King of Chu became enlightened through "The Art of War" is true? ? Is this really a success now?

"Your Highness's move seems feasible." In the silence, Dou Shilun, who pondered for a long time and finally made some determination, slowly raised his head and looked at everyone: "What do you think?"

"It's too risky." Li Daozong sighed, and then he looked at King Chu who was sitting at the top with an expectant look on his face, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Li Daozong had to admit that the King of Chu in front of him should be the one in the entire Li Tang royal family who would be the best at marching and fighting in the future.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But no matter what, he still didn't want Li Kuan to take such a risk. No matter what others thought, in fact, the reason why Li Daozong followed King Chu to the Western Regions in the first place was because he hoped that this boy would know the difficulties after seeing the complicated situation in the Western Regions. And retreat.

But Li Daozong never expected that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would actually draw strength from allusions again, allowing him to cultivate a new version of "soldiers, deceitful ways". ("The Art of War") (Note 4)

Of course, if His Majesty Li Er were here, he might be even more shocked: because his son is really just as he said at the beginning, he is no longer "Wuxia Akuan"...
