The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

"Of course, the Northern Song Dynasty is going to be destroyed, if the Great Sui comes here to ask me to send troops, he will definitely not gladly agree, and when the time comes, he must also act at the opportunity, and the general must not mess up when the time comes. "

For this general, Li Shimin attaches great importance to it.

However, he already had a plan in his heart, when the Sui envoy came to ask for a joint army, as the lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin would never agree immediately, and if there was opposition among the courtiers, it would create an unstable image of the Tang Dynasty for the Sui envoy.

In fact, now the Tang Dynasty is gradually disintegrating those aristocratic forces.

Among them, many of the so-called famous children of the five surnames and seven wangs of Datang are still controlling many important institutions in Datang.

The internal stability of Datang has not yet stabilized, and several cabinets such as Li Shimin and Li Jing know this.

Unlike Yang Guang, the newly established state of the Great Sui relied on strong military rule to gradually eliminate the deep-rooted political families, and killed those people.

And within the Tang Dynasty, these people held too much power, if they followed the Sui Dynasty.

I am afraid that in a few days, the entire Datang Dynasty will be in a melee, with uprisings and rebellions, and even with the financial support of the family behind him, the strength of the alliance is enough to threaten the unity of the entire Datang.

Although Li Jing said several times that with him, Datang would not be chaotic.

But Li Shimin still didn't dare to bet, it really made Datang chaotic, even if Li Jing led the sergeants to quickly clear these rebellions like the Sui army, the entire Datang would be set back for several years, or even decades.

"The minister obeys the order, but Your Majesty, but the Great Sui must not be guarded against. "

Li Jing has always been convinced of Li Shimin's foresight.

This is also why Li Jing was able to support the person who seized the throne as usual after Li Shimin obtained the country.

At this time, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was due to Li Shimin's contributions.

"Of course I know that I have to guard against Sui, but the national strength of the Great Sui is not as strong as before. Even if the Tang Dynasty violated the alliance alliance with the Sui, this war to unite the Northern Song Dynasty and Goryeo would not be completely sure that the Sui would be destroyed, and it would even cause a strong counterattack. This is also the reason why I chose to unite with Sui to destroy the Song Dynasty, but did not choose to destroy the Sui. "

Now Sui's strength makes Li Shimin a little incomprehensible.

The 100,000 army will be wiped out, and the 300,000 people will be killed if they say they will be killed, where does the confidence of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui come from, or rather, what hole cards does he have.

"You can choose. "

Li Jing muttered softly for half a sentence, and then stopped.

Obviously, he also felt unconfident about the way he thought in his heart.

"Sneak attack? useless, I have already sent spies to investigate the situation of the entire Great Sui, and now the Sui Dynasty passes, the guards and horses start with 50,000, the army is strong, and the guards of the pass have all their military exploits, and their strength is even more extraordinary.

Even if we can use sneak attacks, assassinations, and even other methods to attack the Sui, we can't break through the power of one city after another, we can only hurt their skins, and when the Sui reacts, it will be a head-on battle.

In the future, we will fight with the Sui Dynasty, and it will not be possible to decide the outcome overnight, it must be a protracted and protracted war, and no one is sure that we will eat the other party in one bite. "

Looking at the map lightly, two ambitious powers are close together.

The idea of strangling this potential threat in its cradle is no longer possible. The other party has grown up, and it is no longer the chaotic country of the past, which is to be pinched and kneaded.

Speaking of which, there is only one way to win.

That is, the strong country wins.

Only when the country continues to grow stronger, the enemy gradually weakens, and when the gap between the two countries widens, can the real way to win.

In ten or twenty years, there is no possibility of confrontation between the two countries.

Since that's the case, let's wait.

Li Shimin thought about it and set the time for the dispute between the two countries to be 20 years later.

"Wait, twenty years. "

He sighed slightly and said slowly.

Twenty years later, Li Shimin was about fifty years old, after twenty years of development, Li Shimin believed that his national strength would be incomparable, and at that time, the Tang Dynasty would swallow the Great Sui in one go, become the most powerful country, and start the journey.

Obviously, Li Jing also heard what Li Shimin meant, and his eyes kept flashing with sword light.

Twenty years, then twenty years.

"I wish that in twenty years, I will join Your Majesty in the war against the world. "

Li Jing bowed, and the twenty-year covenant was settled in these three words, under the exchange of monarchs and ministers.

This campaign naturally refers to the decisive battle with the Great Sui.

In Li Jing's view, if today, the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future is none other than the Sui Dynasty.

"Okay, let's wait for him for another twenty years. Ha ha.. "

The pride ignited by Li Jing also aroused Li Shimin.

The two cooperated seamlessly, although Li Jing did not help himself, Li Shimin knew Li Jing's character very well.

Infighting, Li Jing dismisses it, but if it is an enemy, no matter who the other party is, Li Jing will always be full of fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has an urgent report. "

The eunuch guarding outside the palace gate bowed down to ask for instructions, holding a secret letter covered with Tang Dynasty fire paint in his hand.

"Submit it. "

Emperor Tang frowned slightly, not long after he had just retired from the dynasty, the Ministry of War had already sent a secret report.

The Sui Dynasty Li Cunxiao captured thirteen cities and killed 300,000 Goryeo, how could there be any urgent report.

The letter was quickly delivered to Li Shimin, who opened the letter casually, took out the secret letter inside, and just glanced at it, and the whole person froze on the spot like a thunderbolt.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Li Jing suddenly saw Li Shimin's eye movements, and he also frowned.

Since Emperor Tang ascended the throne, it was the first time that he had lost his temper in such a way, which was not a good signal for Li Jing.

Suddenly Li Jing thought of the Sui Dynasty, and since Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Tang Emperor often seems to feel pressure, this time I'm afraid.

"Li Cunxiao, Goryeo, destroyed. "

Word by word, Li Shimin took the opportunity to send the secret letter in his hand to Li Jing's hand.

"What?"

From the retreat to the present, how much time has it been, and the process of the military department is only a few days apart, how can it be.

Li Jing took the secret letter in the hand of the Tang Emperor and read it line by line.

For a while, his body shook slightly, and Li Jing made the same action as Li Shimin.

How is it possible, in a few days, the Sui army really wiped out Goryeo. What did Goryeo eat, and did their army die? Or did they welcome the Sui army directly into the capital of Goryeo?

The secret letter did not say too much about the specific matters of the war, the news came too suddenly, I believe that the intelligence personnel, and did not get the relevant specifics, they directly received this final result, and they could only convey the news to the military department as quickly as possible, and then the military department sent it to Tangdu.
