Chapter 104: Li Shimin

The war in the Central Plains is in full swing, and the north seems to be peaceful! But I can't sleep! If there are hidden dangers!

The land of Yan State is an example. The territory of Yan State includes the entire Bohai Sea, and it also occupies a lot of territory, including Liaodong! Pyongyang! Western Liao! Mountain Jie! Guzhu! Xuzhou! Hejian! Wuheng! Quni! Wuyang! Yuyang, and the last Jicheng. Yan is more than 2,000 miles away, and the people are ruled by more than 2 million! It is not much different from the major countries. After all, when the Chu State was not destroyed, the population under his command reached more than 8 million.

Le Yi has fought south and north in recent years, and he has been fighting the Rong tribe in the north so he dared not go south. However, the King of Yan participated in the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, and only more than 50,000 horses could be used under his command, including 10,000 of them, and the other 30,000 elite troops were trained by Prince Dan himself to guard the Great Wall in the north of Yan State to ensure that the Rong tribe did not dare to go south to herd horses. As for the Korean Peninsula in the east, Prince Dan did not take him seriously at all. The small country was small and the people were poor, and there were even people who were not civilized, which was no different from the savages. Of course, the main reason why Prince Dan underestimated them was that the population of that country was only about 300,000, and the total strength in his hands was only only more than 10,000. The most important thing was that the country was still divided. Wars of more than a thousand people were large-scale wars, so there was no need to waste it to do anything.

On the Korean Peninsula

Li Yuan sat in his seat and looked a lot embarrassed. In recent years, he had been too hard, so he had gained something. At least the soldiers under his command were all elites, and they also left the original grass house and built a magnificent hall. It was said to be magnificent, but it was just a small town. It was built with a few wood, and there was not even bluestone on the ground. Once it rained, the wooden boards under the ground would look very wet. In winter, they would starve to death! People who froze to death were in large numbers. After all, the north here was too cold.

Li Yuan was wearing a robe and a tiger-skin on the outside, making him look like a sham king. But those who knew it knew it knew that he had replaced the original king and became the main one. He didn't care about the wars around the city walls. Instead, he encouraged him. The reason was that he had controlled the city here and asked them to fight, just to train troops. Every time, it was a huge momentum, but no one could die at all.

"Father!" I heard a shouting loudly, and saw a tall and handsome man walking over his shoulder with a wolf head and not wearing a braid on his head. Instead, he learned the way of Yan State and tied his head up. He was eight feet long and accompanied by a waist knife around his waist. He looked very burly. Who could this person be if he was not Li Shimin?

"Come on! Let's sit down! Are you getting what you gained this time in the mountains?" Li Yuan stroked his beard and was satisfied with his son. He could fight on the battlefield and dismount and govern the country. He could be both civil and military, otherwise Li Yuan would not be so leisurely.

"This time I caught more than 3,000 people, all of whom were uncivilized mountains and fields. They all made a living by hunting. They shot good arrows. I waved to more than 500 people, and they were all good bows and arrows, one shot right!" Li Shimin said this, and he became excited, even with a complacent look.

After hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, expressed his agreement, and then said, "Shimin! Tell me, my father! You have recruited a large number of soldiers in the past few days, and even a few other city generals trained their troops together. What are you trying to do?"

As soon as this said, the air around him was a little cold. Li Yuan was very concerned that there were people in this place who wanted to covet his position, even his son would not do it.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan's eyes, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and then said, "Does my father just want to sit in a king who is in a peaceful corner, but not the king of the world? If so, that strange minister is self-indulgent!"

"Oh!" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at his son, the chill gradually faded, and he was even interested in guilt. However, after seeing Li Yuan now, he still couldn't see through his son and said seriously: "Tell me what you meant! If you don't give a reasonable explanation to your father, you can stay in the blue sea for half your life!"

"Father! I have received reliable news! Yan State is leading the main force to fight against countries such as the Central Plains. The domestic troops are empty. This is the time when our country is rising. As long as we are recognized by the Zhou Dynasty, we are qualified to participate in the war of the princes, so that we can truly overlook the world. Father!" Li Shimin said with a heartache. At this time, we must not hesitate. If we miss this opportunity in front of us, it will be difficult for them to expand their territory and may even be destroyed.

Li Yuan looked at his son, stroked his beard, and embarrassedly said, "Don't you know the forces of Yan State? Even if they really had hundreds of thousands of troops heading south, there were still more than 10,000 troops on the Great Wall in the north. We would not have the advantage at all. If we were not careful, we would be wiped out. You kid! Why are you like this...!"

"It's because of this! If my father is comfortable in his current life, he will not be far from losing his country!" Li Shimin's coldness gradually spread out, and his face was slightly cold: "Prince Dan of Yan State! There are still ambitious people, and there are many talented people under his command. They guard the Great Wall, and they can attack when retreating and advance! When Yan State pacifies its troops, we will face the next cavalry of Yan State!"

"With our current military strength, we are not the opponent of Yan State! Even if we conquer the Great Wall, you will not be able to defend it!" Li Yuan said with a worried look on his face.

"I have it." Li Shimin's weapons in his hand came to the map and said with a serious expression: "Father, please look at it! We will capture the Great Wall of Yan and take down the land of Liaodong, and then use the water as the boundary! Where to build the city wall, establish the capital of Xiangping, and then collect the herdsmen of Beirong all the way, and you can get as many as 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of good horses. As long as you manage this land well, you can guarantee that we can go south to swallow Yan within ten years! It is no problem to destroy the great powers in the south at that time!"

"Haha! Son! Do you know that your total strength is only 40,000 to 50,000 troops. The southern powers can easily take out more than 80,000 troops, not to mention the Yan State, which has 300,000 armored men!" Li Yuan smiled disdainfully, waved his hand and patted his son's shoulder and said, "Let's stay here honestly! I don't have that kind of ambition for my father!"

"Yeah!" When Li Shimin heard this, his face turned cold. He glanced at Li Yuan behind him and said for a while: "Since that's the case, the father and son had to offend! Li Ling! Li Guang!"
