Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

After a while, Li Shimin came back to his senses. He thought over the strategy Li Shen said from beginning to end, including all the pros and cons, and feasibility.

In the end, he discovered that Li Shen's strategy seemed simple and could not be said to be perfect, but it was indeed more than enough to deal with Baekje and Silla.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his son could easily come up with a plan to fight against the entire country.

Even those veterans were only thinking about a battle situation.

He discovered a problem early on. Li Shen's thinking was different from theirs.

In foreign operations, they have always considered the tactics of soldiers and horses and the art of war in the military books.

But in the end, we still have to go straight and rely on force to solve the problem.

For example, the Eastern Turks, Gaochang Kingdom, and Tuyuhun were the first countries to be destroyed. The Tang Dynasty adopted the direct method of sending troops.

Rely on troops, equipment and tactics to achieve victory.

However, since the rise of Li Shen, many small countries in the south have been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty without any effort by adopting Li Shen's various gentle tactics.

Li Shen would inflict great harm to the empire before sending troops to the Tang Dynasty, causing domestic turmoil or even chaos in the empire.

Then the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack, and it fell apart effortlessly, just like Goguryeo.

Li Shimin was actually no stranger to this kind of tactics. He was familiar with historical records and liked reading military books. There were similar tactics in previous dynasties.

There were so many think tanks in the imperial court, but none of them had such wild ideas as Li Shen.

"Tenth brother, did you come up with all these ideas?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be a little curious. For him, Li Shen's plan was really brilliant.

He believed that even if he asked the important officials in the court to think about it, they would not be able to figure it out.

"Isn't it just a matter of having brains?" Li Shen tried to be as low-key as possible.

"Uh..." Li Chengqian was speechless.

No wonder Lao Shi wanted to beat him to death every time he chatted with his father. He had such an urge now.

Just listen to Li Shen continue to say:

"The purpose of this attack is to hope that Aye can issue an order and find an excuse to withdraw the Tang army stationed in Baekje.

And to appease Baekje well, Baekje and Silla must not attack each other, live in peace, consider the suffering of the people, etc.

The great scholars in these dynasties were the best at it, and in the end Datang could help them solve any problems.

As long as they bring it up, we will solve it for them. Anyway, they will be our meat sooner or later.

I also need to buy old grain from charity warehouses in various places, as long as I can eat it, it is sold to Baekje anyway.

The remaining things will be done based on the actual situation after the results are obtained, such as how to withdraw Silla's garrison when, and how to present a batch of food to Silla at the right time. "

Li Shen explained his purpose of entering the palace. These things required the court's cooperation.

"If everyone hadn't said that you are so talented, Tenth Brother, how could others have come up with such a wonderful plan?"

Li Chengqian praised him after hearing this.

Li Shimin also nodded in agreement. No one in the court today can think of such an easy thing.

"Oh, brother, I'm so impressed. What a brilliant plan this is."

Li Shen immediately beamed, who doesn't like to hear compliments from others.

"I will discuss this matter with the three provinces tomorrow and come up with a complete excuse.

Lao Shi, you did the right thing. Although our Tang Dynasty has a strong army now, it would be great if we can reduce the number of soldiers killed.

Sure enough, I did not misjudge you, and you did not live up to my expectations of you. "

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with relief.

Although this son is a bit out of character,

He behaves perversely and domineeringly, does not understand etiquette, disregards the law, has no dignity, is insidious and cunning, must retaliate, is ruthless, greedy for money and lustful, plays with things to lose his ambition, regards money as his life, and is extremely lazy.

Apart from these, there is not much wrong with it.

At least he didn't rebel.

"Thank you Aye for your approval. I just want to make some small money and do some things for the court. It's just a child's thing."

When Li Shen received his father's approval, he suddenly became elated.

"Hmph, it's a child's thing. That's such a big statement. Then you say something that's not a child's comes out?"

Li Shimin knew that this son should not be praised, and if he was praised, he would go to heaven.

"Aye, actually I do have a plan, but it is for the Japanese country and has not been completed yet.

After completing it, I will submit the detailed plan to Aye.

This plan also requires the cooperation of the court.

What needs to be done now is to send a letter to the Japanese country and ask them to send a group of scholars to exchange, or we can help them cultivate great scholars.

Let me take care of the rest. "

Li Shen had a vague plan in mind, but it needed to be perfected.

He needs to study it carefully with Wang Xuance after he goes back.

Li Shimin didn't expect that he could actually find a solution to Li Shen's casual words.

After thinking for a while he nodded.

"Okay, I will issue an order to Honglu Temple and let them do it. How many people do you plan to need?"

There was nothing to lose anyway, and since his son was full of evil, these people would definitely be up to no good.

"Just a hundred people will do," Li Shen replied.

This matter is actually not difficult, Li Chengqian can do it.

"How are you preparing for the northwest incident?" After saying this, Li Shimin started talking about other things.

"I'm preparing supplies to go to the northwest, and have arranged for people to go there. In the next few days, newspapers will publish news about the leasing of shops in the key cities of Qinghai Province.

The time is set to be late March, and more than a month should be enough time for them to get there. "

Li Shen had already arranged for Wang Hongfu to do these things, so he didn't have to worry about it himself.

"That's good, you can set off at the end of February."

"Aye, there is one more thing I hope Aye will agree to." Li Shen suddenly remembered something.

"Tell me."

"It's the food problem for the 50,000 troops in Qinghai Road. It's located on a plateau, the environment is harsh, and there are jackals in front and tigers behind.

In order to keep them fighting at all times, I still hope to provide them with better food.

Let them have the strength to train and deal with future raids by Tibet and Western Turks. "

If the food in the plateau area is not good, there is no strength training. Li Shen is afraid of death. Why did he build the Qinghai capital so tall?

I am just afraid that I will be attacked by the Western Turks or Tibetans when I go there.

Strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Qinghai Protectorate's 50,000-strong army was also for his own sake.

"Have you forgotten that you were impeached?" Li Shimin shook his head after hearing this.

Li Shen felt helpless and secretly rewarded the three armies. He was impeached last year.

He just wanted to save his own life. Why was it so difficult?

Qinghai Road is located on the frontier and is already blocked at the doorstep of Tubo. It may be attacked by Tibet at any time.

I have to stay there for a long time, and there are many dangers.

"It's okay to donate it to the imperial court and then distribute it in the name of the imperial court."
