Chapter 56 is this trick again?
Chapter 56 Another move?
Seeing that Li Hao still had no intention of agreeing, all the officials became angry!
A courtier disregarded Li Shimin's strict order and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, are you really sure that this person will have an idea?"
"In Yichen's opinion, you expect too much from him. If he could help, he would have agreed long ago. Why find excuses to shirk!"
Immediately there are courtiers who are not afraid of death to respond:
"That's right, Your Majesty, what did he say that he couldn't get away? I heard that Mr. Li Hao wanders around Chang'an City every day. Is he busy with something more important than state affairs?"
Although some of the ministers did not dare to speak, they raised their heads and raised their hands in agreement.
Seeing the anger of the crowd, Li Shimin turned around and shouted angrily:
"Shut up!"
"Those who speak lies will be cut!"
This sentence immediately stopped the voices of all the courtiers.
They continued to kneel there reluctantly.
But my heart is still displeased and dissatisfied!
Li Shimin bowed to Li Hao again.
I saw a person slowly move out of the group of officials, this person raised his head and cupped his hands, and said sincerely to Li Hao:
"Mr. Li Hao, if you really have an idea, please speak up. If you don't, then let me give up!"
All the ministers looked at this person one after another.
This person is Wei Zheng!
His gaze towards Li Hao was full of hope!
Li Hao couldn't help being slightly moved for a moment.
"Okay, get up first, I'm not a place to kneel, and I don't need your kneeling."
"As for me, I can't leave Chang'an City, but it's okay."
"Anyone of you can tell me the specific military situation on the front line. I don't know the specific news here. Maybe I can think of a way to solve this matter without Chang'an City. It depends on your luck."
Seeing that Li Hao's tone was loose, Li Shimin ordered all the officials to stand up and asked Li Jing to report the latest military situation.
The ministers still don't think Li Hao has any good ideas.
Otherwise, how could he agree so reluctantly.
Li Jing came out and told Li Hao the news from Youzhou one by one.
Li Hao listened intently.
Yuchi Jingde was defeated, and Changsun Wuji was seriously injured.
The Tianjie Army had no choice but to rebel, and it really became a rebel army.
So wait.
Li Hao frowned as he listened.
"It turns out that the reason why the Tianjie Army was forced to rebel was not what I expected."
"It's because I feel that I killed the Tang army and made a killing. Even if I don't rebel, there is no room for them in the Tang Dynasty."
"General Li Jing, what are the casualties of the Tang army? How many died and how many were injured?"
Li Jing replied:
"About nearly 9000 people were injured, hundreds were missing, and hundreds were dead. But..."
"These 9000 people were seriously injured. Only a small number of them survived. It is estimated that 5000 people will die this time."
Hearing the number of casualties, everyone's hearts sank.
In fact, five thousand soldiers is not a lot. Datang has very few troops at its disposal now, and the loss of 5000 soldiers will make anyone feel heartbroken.
It is also because of this that the Tianjie army felt that their murder was irreversible, so they rebelled.
But Li Hao said with a smile:
"Since this is the case, the solution to this matter is actually very simple."
Li Shimin and the ministers couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
very simple?
Is this simple?And it's also based on the fact that you don't leave Chang'an City.
Thousands of miles away, easily put down a rebel army?
Li Hao smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed very simple. You just need to send a lobbyist to persuade the Tianjie Army to surrender as I said last time."
"It's this trick again?" Li Shimin felt it was unbelievable, and there was some disbelief in his eyes.
If we had dispatched lobbyists when there was no counter-insurgency, it would have received excellent results.
Two or three lobbyists can make most of the Tianjie Army fight back against Luo Yi, and they might bring Luo Yi's head to the capital to claim credit that day.
But now the situation has changed greatly.
Now the two sides are fighting to the death, and each has a deep hatred for each other.
Even if Li Shimin announced to the world that he would pardon the Tianjie Army's crimes, would the Tianjie Army dare to believe it?They are still afraid of being settled by Qiuhou after surrendering.
Will it still work?
Li Hao smiled and said:
"This move is enough!"
"Everyone suffered trauma on the battlefield. With my disinfection technology, I guarantee that the Tang soldiers will not die!"
"So the Tianjie army will not bear the burden of killing, just send a lobbyist, tell them this, and dispel their worries. They are from the Tang Dynasty. If they are not forced to help, they don't want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty."
Ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.
The successful experiment of disinfection technology on animals has spread throughout the government and the public.
But it's never really been used on people.
Especially when it comes up like this, less than 1 people are injured.
If this disinfection technique fails, Tang Jun will still suffer heavy casualties.
Then the Tianjie Army will still rebel, and they will even think that His Majesty is lying to them and just want to catch them all, and they will even less believe in Datang's persuasion to surrender.
At that time, not only will the strategy fail, but even the lobbyist will probably die.
Li Shimin is also deliberating.
Do you want to use this trick.
This strategy is the same as the last one, it's too much of a gamble!
At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly shouted:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
The eyes of all the officials fell on Wei Zheng!
Wei Zheng straightened his body, bowed his hands in salute, and said solemnly:
"I trust Mr. Li Hao, he has never lied to anyone!"
"Mr. Li Hao's words, I think they must come true!"
"I would like to go to Youzhou to be a lobbyist in person. With my reputation, the Tianjie army should also hear about it. If I go to Youzhou, the Tianjie army will be able to believe that your majesty is sincerely persuading you to surrender!"
"Even if Youzhou is dangerous, at worst, the minister will die!"
"Serve the country as soon as you die!"
After all, Wei Zheng kowtowed heavily!
All the ministers were slightly shocked.
Although Li Jing and Wei Zheng didn't have a close relationship, they stood on the same front these days, and couldn't help but feel moved for Wei Zheng.
I was really worried that Wei Zheng would never return.
But there are also officials like Hou Junji, who have always been dissatisfied with Wei Zheng, but they are thinking badly in their hearts.
Wei Zheng didn't know how many people he had impeached, he hated everyone he saw, and his popularity was very poor.
This trip can be said to be extremely risky, even if Li Hao saves all Tang Jun, Youzhou, as a place of rebellion, is also extremely dangerous.
Wei Zheng really gave up his wealth and life!
A courtier like Hou Junji, who was always dissatisfied with Wei Zheng, hoped that Wei Zheng would just die like this.
In this way, no one will look for them in the future.
more importantly.
They didn't like Li Hao either.
If Wei Zheng died, Li Hao would be even more responsible.
At that time, His Majesty will definitely not trust him easily, and Li Hao's status will also plummet.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Wei Zheng.
There are complex emotions in the eyes.
There is reluctance, gratification, and a touch of admiration.
"Prelude!"
"Wei Aiqing, be careful all the way!"
Now that the decision has been made, Li Shimin said goodbye to Li Hao, and led all the officials to leave.
In less than half an hour, Wei Zheng packed his things, packed lightly, and rushed to Youzhou.
……
Time passes day by day.
It took Wei Zheng two days to go to Youzhou.
However, two days later, Wei Zheng suddenly disappeared.
