Chapter 30: The Great Change The Last Stand (3)
He asked someone to take the messenger down to rest, and Li Ye ordered Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others to come to discuss matters.
Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others received the order. When they entered the door, they met Song Jiao and asked His Highness what they were eager to summon him. Song Jiao, who had a cold face, did not hide it and told them the reason so that they could think about how to solve the problem before meeting Li Ye.
Li Zhen and Cui Li looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
Wang Jian failed in the battle against Nanzhao and Yangguan failed. This was not only because of the loss of the border, but also because of the movement of the battlefield. In the current situation of attacking the Tang Dynasty, if one side of the Tang Dynasty was broken, the dam of a thousand-mile dam may be destroyed by an ant hole, causing overall corruption.
Yelu Abaoji has such a plan, which is really terrifying.
When they saw Li Ye, everyone found that the other party was sitting in the main seat and drinking tea. His posture was peaceful and there was no sign of worry between his eyebrows, as if a major change had not happened, or the problem that seemed extremely difficult to everyone had already solved it.
This made Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others a little calmer.
"Yelu Abaoji's plan is good."
Li Ye said in a slight sense, "But the fact is that a strategy is always a double-edged sword, with the possibility of success and the risk of failure. On the battlefield, any risk will be magnified, and once it fails, it will be doomed.
"So only the weak need to use strategies to fight for the first-line victory for themselves. The strong always advance in a dignified manner and defeat their opponents with absolute strength. This is the way to insurance."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was a little excited and nodded and claimed yes.
It is obvious that compared with the Khitan, the Tang Dynasty is the strong man.
After Li Ye said this, the maids had already served tea and snacks to everyone in the hall. He smiled and said, "It will take some time to discuss today. You should moisten your voice. Although national affairs are complicated, you need to know that your body is the capital."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Such a sudden change occurred in the situation. In everyone's eyes, the dynasty was in a difficult situation. If you were not careful, you might be in a risk of overturning. At this time, Li Ye had not forgotten to give the people who were discussing the matter. Such details showed Li Ye's calmness and calmness.
Since Li Ye is not panicked, there is no reason for everyone to panic.
Li Ye picked up the tea bowl and briefly introduced the flavor of two new tea sentences, indicating that everyone could taste it. After everyone expressed some opinions one after another, the solemn and tense atmosphere in the hall disappeared. The relaxed meeting hall returned to the high-ranking atmosphere that decided the world's major events while talking and laughing.
All the people present were Li Ye’s direct confidants and important officials in the court. Their mental outlook and manners will affect the hearts of the entire three provinces and six ministries. The attitudes of the central officials will also radiate to the entire country, so Li Ye needs to give them a positive attitude first.
Putting down the tea bowl, Li Ye continued: "Yelu Abaoji's plan is really good. To some extent, he has also succeeded. Now, we know that there are no Khitan monks in the northern border, but it is still inappropriate to come out of seclusion and fight him in a decisive battle.
"If the main force of the monks of the Tang Dynasty goes north, Hexi and Shu will inevitably fall, which will lead to a huge disaster. And even if the main force of the monks goes north, if the Khitan sticks to it, it will be difficult for us to defeat them in a comprehensive short term.
"After all, the Khitan, Uighurs, Nanzhao, Tubo's remaining nobles, and Jurchen Bohai Kingdom, their cultivators combined together should not be underestimated. Because of this, the Tang Dynasty needs to work together to break the crisis of attacking the Tang Dynasty in the world."
Trickli bowed and said, "Your Highness just keeps the orders, and we will serve you to die."
Li Zhen and others also agreed.
Li Ye nodded and waved his hand to disperse the plan documents on the table to everyone.
He said: "Hexi, Shu cannot be lost, and the northern border is even more so. If Yelu Abaoji thinks that by using this move to openly repair the plank road and secretly travel to Chencang, it would be too naive to make my Tang Dynasty turmoil. Everyone, whether the Tang Dynasty can reappear in a prosperous era depends on whether you can perform their own duties and complete the tasks assigned by me."
The contents of the planning documents are all kinds of materials, manual dispatch, military equipment, food, and other supplies. There is nothing special about it, and it is not difficult to understand and implement it.
After reading their respective plans, Li Zhen and others immediately understood that Li Ye was trying to mobilize all the available powers of the Tang Dynasty and defeat the powerful enemies on all sides head-on.
Without choice or calculation, we just use the national strength of the Tang Dynasty to have a head-on battle with those who intend to shake the Tang Dynasty!
Seeing that everyone knew what he was going to do, Li Ye said in a deep voice for the first time today: "The victory or defeat of the war is a contest of national strength. Yelu Abaoji believes that planning a so-called situation of attacking the Tang Dynasty across the world can make our Tang Dynasty exhausted and overwhelmed?
"Although the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered its power of prosperity and needs to face the enemy from all sides now, this victory of victory will only belong to the Tang people. It is time for these barbarians to know how powerful the power of the Central Plains is!"
Cui Keli and Li Zhenmo looked shocked.
These words are quite powerful in the Han and Tang dynasties.
They immediately stood up and left their seats, and stood up and bowed down with everyone, shouting that they could serve the country to the death.
......
After everyone left, only Song Jiao stayed.
"Putting the power of the Tang Dynasty and crushing the barbarians from all directions, this sounds heroic and generous, and there is no problem with strategy, but why do I feel that you still have reliance that you have never exposed?"
Song Jiao stared at Li Ye, as if she wanted to see him transparently, "If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be as stable as Mount Tai. The confidence you pretended to have and the confidence you really have, and others may not be able to tell me, but you can't hide it from me."
The meaning of the latter is of course that I can't understand you very much.
Li Ye spread his hands, "Aunt Song thinks, at this time, what else can I rely on?"
"You have contacted the Tatars on the grassland, the two yellow heads, but until now, they have not made any noise." Song Jiao snorted, "But..."
Li Ye took over the conversation: "But they are not enough to be my greatest reliance."
Song Jiao glared at Li Ye: "You will never pin your hopes on the alien race, even if they are allies. Besides, their strength is not that strong!"
Li Ye said with ease: "There is no backup in China, and there is no strong support abroad. What else can I rely on?"
Song Jiao patted the table in annoyance: "This is exactly what I can't figure it out!"
Li Ye said: "Why don't you think about it if you can't figure it out?"
Song Jiao said: "If you can't figure it out, someone else has to tell her!"
Li Ye held back his smile and said, "This is a posture that only a little girl can do."
Song Jiao's eyebrows stood up: "Did you forget that I am also a woman?"
Li Ye opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. As long as he was a woman, he would always have a young daughter's posture, which had nothing to do with age.
Just look at who it is in front of.
Li Ye’s reliance cannot be said to be a reliance.
There are only four words: the unity of immortals and mortals.
What Li Ye did in the past has always been to use the mortal world to influence the immortal realm.
And now, it is time to come to the Immortal Realm to feed back to the mortal world.
It just takes a little time.
Before this, the situation in the mortal world cannot collapse.
......
Ergouzi sat with an arm hanging on his back and enjoyed the cool air under the elm tree by the stream.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and the wounds are prone to suppuration. In order to avoid being dragged to death by the injury without being killed in battle, Zhang Zai's strong request for three requests a day, the barracks finally allowed the wounded soldiers to cool down in places with low temperatures.
Seeing Zhang Zai limping over, Ergouzi seemed to have seen a cat mouse. He shrank back a few steps and wanted to apply oil to the soles of his feet. However, his strength was not good, he was caught by the other party.
"It's time to change the dressing, what are you running away?" Zhang Zai grabbed Ergouzi, very dissatisfied with his escape.
Ergouzi stared at the plate Zhang Zai put down, the small knives with cold light, swallowed with difficulty, "Zhang...Brother Zhang, I feel that my injury has healed. Can I not change the medicine today?"
Zhang Zai sat down next to Ergouzi with one leg straight and stiff movements. He picked up a knife in Ergouzi's terrified gaze and said seriously: "You were hit by the barbarian's poisonous arrow. The wound is too deep. It is necessary to scrape the bone to cure the poison. You have to cut off the rotten meat every day. If you still want to keep this arm, you have to change the medicine."
Ergouzi understood that Zhang Zai was taking revenge on him in a different way.
When Zhang Zai first joined the army, Ergouzi showed him a lot of faces. Now that it is in the hands of others, it is naturally a pain.
Scholars are all petty, and each one holds vengeance. If this is all bull's egg, Ergouzi thinks it makes sense.
Because of Zhang Zai, Ergouzi no longer dares to underestimate scholars.
It’s not because the group of scholars in front of me were killed and injured in this war, and those who were alive basically became gods of killing, but because they knew too much.
When Zhang Zai was in the injured camp and was treated by a military doctor, he scolded the old doctor who had been treated in the army for more than ten years, saying that he did not even have the basic common sense of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".
Afterwards, Zhang Zai became the largest doctor in the army.
However, when Ergouzi asked Zhang Zai when he learned medical skills, Zhang Zai said with confidence that he had never learned medical skills, but had read a few medical books. At most, he had a little understanding of the things like curing diseases and saving lives. He also said that scholars from Confucianism knew some of these things.
Zhang Zai, who had a little understanding of medical skills, began to harm sentient beings.
Such a person should have been dragged out of the gate and beheaded.
However, although the wounded soldiers treated by him were tortured to cry and call their parents at first, their survival rate afterwards was several times that of the old doctor. Therefore, although his methods looked extremely unfamiliar and stiff, the soldiers could only bear it.
People who read a lot can't afford to offend them. This is the consensus of the soldiers of the Beikou army. They have a hundred ways to make you willingly thank them after you make you feel overwhelmed.
After changing the medicine, Ergouzi, who kept turning his head and not daring to look at the wound, was already covered in cold sweat.
Zhang Zai also looked sweaty, but it was all hot.
"The poison has been completely removed. After today, there is no need to change the medicine every day. In a short while, your wound will heal, but..." Speaking of this, Zhang Zai looked at Ergouzi apologetically.
