Wang Yi followed Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji back to Chang'an City, but surprisingly, after just entering the city and meeting a few people who came to report the matter, Li Shimin, who originally asked Wang Yi to follow him to return to the palace to talk about the matter, asked him to go back to the mansion first, and Wang Yi had no choice but to answer his order.

In the following days, Wang Yi stayed in the mansion and did not dare to go out, for fear that Li Shimin would suddenly send someone to spread the word and announce that he would come to the palace to ask about things and could not find anyone, so that would be trouble. But for several days, he did not wait for someone to come to the palace.

Wang Ang has not been to Wang Yi's place of residence these days. According to Wang Fu's report, Wang Yi's elder brother has been on duty in the palace these days. Based on these news and his understanding of the history recorded in historical books, Wang Yi judged that important things had happened in these dynasties.

As expected, ten days after Wang Yi followed Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Dai Zhou and others to visit the fields where Chameng rice was planted, the court issued an edict to launch a large army to attack the Turks who invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty.

In the imperial edict, Li Jing, Minister of War, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Dingxiang Road, and the governor of the army. Zhang Gongjin, the governor of the State, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Dingxiang Road, Li Shiji, the governor of Bingzhou, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Tongmo Road, Chai Shao, the governor of Huazhou, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Jinhe Road, Xue Wanche, the chief marching commander of Changwu Dao, Li Daozong, the prince of Rencheng, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Datong Road, Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was appointed as the chief marching commander of Heng'an Road, and led 110,000 troops to attack the Turks in separate channels.

Wang Yi was particularly shocked when he heard this news, because this order to go to the expedition was very different from what was recorded in history. According to the original history known to Wang Yi, when Li Shimin ordered the attack on the Turks in the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan, he first sent out 20,000 to 30,000 troops from the Dingxiang Road marching headquarters led by Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin. It was not until around November that due to the changes in the war situation and the Turkic invasion of Hexi, Li Shimin ordered the establishment of several additional marching headquarters, and ordered generals such as Li Shiji, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Wei Xiaojie and other generals to lead the army to launch a comprehensive attack on the Turks, and were subject to the Jiedu of Li Jing, who was only the general manager of the Dingxiang Road marching.

No matter which historical book records, in this war against the Turks, Li Jing was only the marching general manager, not the marching general manager. Although the marching general manager and the marching general manager were only one word different, their status was much different. One was just the commander of the one-sided army, but the marching general manager was the commander of the general manager's army. From this decree of the expedition that was different from the historical records, Wang Yi realized that this war must be very different from that in history.

Some historians once analyzed that in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had not made up his mind to start a full-scale war against the Turks. The main reason was that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty had not been fully restored. After several consecutive years of disasters, the national treasury was not strong and could not launch a comprehensive and devastating attack on the Turks. Therefore, in September of the third year of Zhenguan, only a large army of Dingxiangdao marching headquarters with Li Jing as the general manager and Zhang Gongjin as the deputy general manager was sent to counterattack the Turks' invasion. Other marching headquarters were not formed. However, due to the changes in the situation, Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin and others achieved good results. In addition, the Turks invaded the Tang Dynasty from the Hexi side. Li Shimin judged the situation and finally changed the plan and launched a full-scale attack on the Turks.

But now, everything has changed. At the beginning of the war, more than 100,000 troops of six groups were fully launched and launched a full-scale attack on the Turks from several directions. Wang Yi thought, could it be that the arrival of his time traveler, shaking his thin wings a few times, and changing everything? The discussions about the war with Li Shimin a few days ago and the story of the rice growing in Chameng a few days ago made Li Shimin suddenly feel proud and confident to launch a full-scale attack on the Turks?

Although there was such a guess, Wang Yi did not dare to confirm it.

After all, he felt that he was still humble and said in a very important court event, which was not enough to change Li Shimin's decision.

However, Wang Yi was relieved when the imperial court issued an edict to fight against the Turks. This battle that was recorded in history and further created the reputation of Li Jing, the Tang army, finally started in the third year of Zhenguan. He could be sure that the result of the war would be as brilliant as recorded in history, and even the degree of glory of the results was even greater.

Wang Yi no longer waited for Li Shimin's summons. He knew that after the edict to go to war was issued, the emperor Li Shimin, who had fought for half his life, must be very concerned about the progress of the war. In addition, everything was complicated after the war began, so Li Shimin should not come to summon him very much. He also took Wang Tan outside to stroll and have fun while the weather was good!

Two days later, a good day of cool autumn. After lunch, Wang Yi, who was idle, was planning to take Wang Tan and Su Yan out for a trip, but just as they were getting ready to leave, an envoy from the palace came to the mansion, saying that the emperor had invited him!

When they were about to go out, they met the messenger in the palace while they were about to go out. While Wang Yi was feeling the ingenuity, he did not dare to delay. As the two women were disappointed and angry, he immediately followed the people to the Tai Chi Palace.

Wang Yi was taken to Liangyi Hall. In the huge hall, only Li Shimin stood in the hall and looked at a large map, with nothing else in the palace maids and eunuchs next to him.

"Chenyang, come to me!" Li Shimin signaled a gesture to Wang Yi who was bowing to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yi walked to the hall in response, and then he saw clearly that this was a route of my army.

"Chenyang, I believe you know the news that my army went to fight against the Turks, right? "Little word" Li Shimin motioned Wang Yi to stand on the map.

"Your Majesty, I have heard of it!"

Li Shimin left the map, looked at Wang Yi twice, and his hands were also on his back. He walked in the hall for two steps, as if he was casually speaking: "This time he went to the Turks, there were many people in the court who opposed it, but after hearing the three people's comments, I finally made up my mind to launch a full-scale attack on the Turks!" Li Shimin said, stretching out three fingers and gestured.

Wang Yi didn't ask questions and waited for Li Shimin to continue his story.

"The first is Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou," Li Shimin originally stretched out three fingers into one. "Hongshen told me a few months ago that he would like to show the reasons for attacking the Turks at this time. He said six reasons in the memorial: First, Jie Li indulged in lust and showed violence, punished loyal and kind, and loved treacherous and treacherous, and second, Xue Yantuo and other tribes all rebelled; third, Chuli, expanded, and wanted to set up valleys and set up, and was ashamed of themselves; fourth, frost and drought in the north, and food was exhausted; fifth, Jie Li dismissed his clans and personally entrusts the Hu people. Once our army arrived, we would have internal changes; sixth, there were many Chinese people in the north, and our army went out of the frontier, and our army naturally responded. However, I did not expect that the reasons I said that day were exactly the same as Hongshen, and it was said in more detail, which surprised me very much. The second person who made me moved was your Wang Chenyang!"

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin was just talking nonsense that day, saying whatever he thought of, but never expected that it would be similar to the words of Governor Zhang," Wang Yi was a little ashamed. What he said was originally stealing the comments of Zhang Gongjin from later generations, and with some of his own opinions, what he said to Li Shimin should be more convincing than what Zhang Gongjin said.

"I know that you can't see Hongshen's memorials, but I can express similar views to Hongshen, and it's more comprehensive than what he said. Of course I am surprised!" Li Shimin showed a little admiring smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "And you also said some other reasons for using troops, which moved me very much and gave me the determination to send troops to attack the Turks!"

"However, the third person who finally made me decide to send troops to the expedition was said, that is, Li Jing, the Minister of War!" Li Shimin's finger stretched out from two to three. "When the court was discussing whether to send troops, the Medicine Master repeatedly expressed the necessity of discussing the Turks at this time, and requested to lead troops to fight against the Turks. The Medicine Master was willing to govern the troops to attack the Turks, so I naturally did not hesitate at all!"

It was Li Jing who used passionate words in the court to refute Wei Zheng, who was the strongest opposition to the expedition. Xiao Yu and others were speechless and asked to raise an army to slaughter the Turks. Li Shimin immediately decided to launch a large army to attack the Turks.

After the court talks that day, Li Shimin secretly discussed with Li Jing and agreed with what Li Jing proposed that in the coming winter, horses on the grassland are prone to lose weight, and the Turks have the worst combat power, which is also the proposal that the Turks did not expect that our Tang army would launch a war when they attacked them.

Li Shimin, who had commanded countless battles, knew the sudden benefits of launching the war, so after a secret discussion with Li Jing, he issued a mobilization order for the battle as soon as possible. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the war had basically not stopped, and the mobilization of the war was very rapid. In just about half a month, more than 100,000 troops had set out from various assembly places and were now on their way to the northern border.

Wang Yi looked at the huge but simple map hanging on the wall, where several of my army marched. Judging from the icons marked on the map, the speed of my army marched differently and the directions of my journey vary greatly, but no matter which army, it should have not encountered the Turks.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin stopped, looked at Wang Yi who turned to look at the map, and then asked, "Chenyang, your father is a brave and good general. His strategy of fighting is not inferior to any general in the court. Even I admire him very much. I believe you and Shiguo have also been passed down. Today, I also want to hear what you think about this battle and how to march?"

Wang Yi, who had expected Li Shimin to ask him this, thought for a while and immediately answered: "Since Your Majesty asked, the little people would show off their skills and talk nonsense!" Wang Yi walked to the map and pointed to several marked places and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I think that our army entered the north of Mo in winter, and the Turks must have not expected that even if our army approached, Jie Li heard the news that as long as our army acted quickly, they would not have time to take effective warnings. The little people felt that the key to our army's victory in this battle was in two words, strange, fast!"

Wang Yi looked at Li Shimin with a look of surprise on his face and continued, "Strange, it means to send troops. When the Turks did not expect it, it will definitely catch the Turks off guard when they attacked the Turks. Fast means to act quickly and not save and annihilate many enemies. He strives to defeat Jie Li's men and horses, and capture the king first. If he can annihilate Jie Li's men and horses, kill Jie Li or capture him alive, then the other Turkish troops will be intimidated by the power of our army and will soon surrender..."

Wang Yi then learned about the attack directions of Li Jing and his subordinates from his later studies of this war, as well as some repairs to the war that he did not make good efforts, and in which direction should each department launch an attack, how to attack, how to coordinate several departments, how to advance when the initial victory of the battle, how to chase and annihilate the enemy's remnants, how to attack Jie Li's den, and how to prevent Jie Li's remnants from escaping. He summarized these things studied in later generations into an inference, and told them all about Li Shimin, who was increasingly surprised.

Although Li Jing commanded this kind of battle in Zhenguan for three or four years, there were still some small shortcomings. When the war was in progress, everyone should not be able to detect these shortcomings. Even if they could detect them, they might not be able to respond and dispatch in time. However, the war was over. When looking back and summarizing the past of this war, some people with hearts could naturally find some better things that could have been done and could understand that if there was any arrangement at a certain time, the progress of the war might have been effective. Although Wang Yi, a person who studies history, has never commanded the battle, this kind of hindsight will still be fired.

When Wang Yi was telling it, he also knew that what he was talking about was based on the war that had already happened in history. It could be said to be a "master gun". But now the situation was different at the beginning of the war. No one could predict how the subsequent war would develop. It is still unknown whether it is possible to achieve the same glorious victory as in history.

But what he said was amazement to Li Shimin. The emperor Li Shimin never expected that today, he just suddenly thought that he had not seen this boy for about a month to come to the palace to talk to him. After reading a military newspaper, he casually asked Wang Yi about his opinion on the war, but he did not expect that the remarks made by this 17-year-old boy were amazing.

This is not like the words of a young man who is only seventeen years old and has never been to the battlefield. It is like the words of a military commander who has commanded countless battles and has been tested by war. Li Shimin is an excellent commander who has commanded many battles, so he can naturally hear the advantages of the attack method Wang Yi said. More importantly, the two points Wang Yi said at the beginning, strangeness and speed, which was exactly what he pursued when commanding the battle, and it was also the most particular thing that Li Jing, who commanded the army to fight against the Turks this time. If Wang Yi had just said this from Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, even like Li Daozong, Li Shiji, Hou Junji and others, Li Shimin would definitely not be surprised, but now he was from Wang Yi, a young man under the age of 20, which surprised him very much...
