. Three days later, it was still in Liangyi Hall. Li Shimin began to discuss the issue of the commander with the central minister. {%%%Net. Because the military information from Shuofang has been constantly transmitted, the ambition and signs of rebellion of Tuyuhun. If the Tang Dynasty did not prepare for war now, it would be caught off guard by Tuyuhun, and the losses would be great! However, the topic discussed this time included the candidate for the marching commander when the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun started the war, and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian took the initiative to write a letter asking for a letter of request to go to the army to supervise the war.

Today, the atmosphere in Liangyi Hall is even more depressing than three days ago. Because today's topic is heavier, involving the issue of the prince going to the front line to supervise the war. This is a very sensitive issue, and naturally everyone dare not express their opinions casually.

In Liangyi Hall, the Secretary of the Secretariat Xiao Yu, the Minister of the Jung-Secretariat Wang Gui, the Minister of the Secretariat Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Cen Wenben, the Secretary of the Secretariat Wei Zheng, etc., the Minister of War Hou Junji, were also listed, and the King of the East and Prince Li Tai and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian were all there. Li Ke stood between Li Chengqian and Li Tai and remained silent.

After a long time, Li Shimin said lightly, "The prince wrote a letter saying that he wanted to go to the front to supervise the battle. What do you think?"

"Emperor, Tuyuhun's 400,000 army will be fierce after all, and in this case the prince will go to the front to supervise the war, which can stabilize the morale of the army." Changsun Wuji was the first to speak. He had expressed his opinions and gave everyone a reference.

"I think it's feasible!" Wei Zheng said lightly.

"Emperor, the crown prince is the crown prince. How can you easily take risks? I don't dare to agree!" Xiao Yu began to object.

"The emperor, the empress also believes that the prince must not go to the front line to supervise the war in the opinion of the Secretary-General!" Wang Gui also said. For him, Li Chengqian wanted to go to the front line to supervise the war, which was to rob the military merits of the soldiers on the front line, which was not conducive to Li Tai. In such aspects that were irrelevant to the court, he had to argue with reason.

"I don't agree with the prince's in danger!" Cen Wenben said. As the Minister of Personnel and the head of the six ministries, he now has the right and qualification to speak during discussions at the center. "I think it's okay to wait until the front line to hear good news, the prince will be able to comfort the army instead of the emperor!"

"Emperor, I believe that the prince should go to the front line in person, which will help stimulate the ambitions of the soldiers!" Hou Junji actually supported Li Chengqian.

After Hou Ruoyi and Li Chengqian's marriage failed, the relationship between Changsun Wuji of Hou Junji began to become much colder. No one could guess what he was thinking, but he did not expect to openly support Li Chengqian this time.

Li Shimin did not speak, but turned his eyes to Fang Xuanling. Seeing this, Fang Xuanling said lightly, "I don't object to the prince's personal visit to the front line to supervise the war, but this matter still needs to be done with caution!"

"What about the opinions of you two?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke and Li Tai lightly. Since he summoned his two sons to Liangyi Hall, he must also listen to their opinions!

"Father, the prince went to the front line to supervise the war, which is very powerful and strong in the morale of the Tang army, and my sons also support it!" Li Ke said.

Li Tai seemed to guess that Li Ke would say this. Seeing that Li Ke supported Li Chengqian, he did not show any surprise. This made Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and others look at each other. Unexpectedly, His Highness Bei Wang, who usually doesn't deal with the prince, would also support the prince.

Seeing that Li Ke also supported Li Chengqian to supervise the war on the front line, Li Shimin did not let Li Tai say his thoughts and directly ordered everyone, "Then I want to let me supervise the war!"

"No" everyone agreed.

But everyone was surprised. This time Li Chengqian was able to go to the front line to supervise the battle, obviously Li Ke made great contributions. If he hadn't supported him, Li Chengqian would have no chance to go to the front line to supervise the battle. Seeing Li Shimin agreeing, Li Chengqian bowed to accept the order.

In fact, everyone misunderstood Li Ke. Although his words had a crucial impact on Li Shimin's decision to supervise the war on Li Chengqian on the front line. However, if Li Shimin really wanted to go to Li Chengqian to go to the front line or not, even if Li Ke supported it, it would be useless. This time, Li Chengqian asked him for a fight. Seeing that his always cowardly son had such a brave performance, he also wanted Li Chengqian to go to the front line to train. He just asked Li Ke's idea, mainly to determine the security issues on the front line. He knew Li Ke's military talent very well. As long as Li Ke supported it, this means that the front line war would not last too long.

With Li Chengqian's appointment to supervise the battle on the front line, the candidates for the marching commander began to become clear and clear! Everyone knew very well that Li Ji was the prince's person. Now that the prince went to supervise the battle on the front line, the candidates for the marching commander would most likely fall on Li Ji's head.

Sure enough, I heard Li Shimin say, "Anyone who chose the marching commander, are you selected?"

At this time, even though the candidate for the head coach had begun to become clear, it was still difficult for Li Ji to become the head coach of the marching. After all, he was criticized for the training of the new army, which had become a stain on his record. Suddenly, Liangyi Hall quarreled endlessly about whether Li Ji was qualified to be the head coach of the marching. Everyone quarreled for a long time, but in the end they did not discuss a result. Li Shimin liked such quarrels when discussing government affairs, which showed that everyone had their own ideas and opinions, which showed that there were problems and everyone would quarrel. However, when the appointment of the marching commander was still unresolved for several days and no results came out, he was quite unhappy with the quarrel between the ministers.

Just as everyone was arguing, Li Ke stood by silently and quietly watched everyone perform. Li Ke's behavior was seen by Li Shimin, but at this time his cold-eyed observing became the calmness and calmness in Li Shimin's eyes. Therefore, Li Shimin was extremely satisfied with Li Ke's performance in Liangyi Hall.

Then I heard him say lightly, "Li Ke, what are your opinions?"

Li Ke had long guessed that Li Shimin would ask himself. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Father, the new army has been trained by Li Ji for more than three years. This time the Tang Dynasty started a war with Tuyuhun. The new army must participate in the war. The combat effectiveness of the new army has not yet been formed. In this case, Li Ji, the commander of the new army, may be more skilled than other generals commanded it. Therefore, Er Chen believes that Li Ji can be the commander of the army, which is the first point. Second, his uncle Chai Shao is in poor health and is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding the commander. For other generals, he may not have enough qualifications when commanding a comprehensive army such as Shuofang Army, the New Army and the Northern Prefecture Cavalry, and the Turkic Cavalry. Li Ji is a veteran who has been in the battlefield for a long time and has made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Among these candidates listed in the Ministry of War, Er Chen believes that he is the most suitable!"

Li Ke gave some reason for recommending Li Ji, but what he recommended Li Ji was the time to leave a way out for himself. He said that among the people recommended by the Ministry of War, he thought Li Ji was the most suitable, which had completely shifted the responsibility of Li Ji's defeat. If Li Ji was defeated and someone wanted to pursue the responsibility of the recommender, he would say a word. He said that his own choice was to select the most suitable candidate from the people on the list recommended by the Ministry of War. If you want to pursue responsibility, go to the Ministry of War, don't look for me!

Li Shimin only paid attention to the two reasons Li Ke said when he recommended Li Ji. As for the other meanings in his words, he ignored them. Only Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Cen Wenben, Changsun Wuji and others understood the meaning of Li Ke's words at once.

"You have something to say, right?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"My son believes that the prince was ordered to go to the front line to supervise the war and could be the military supervisor. Li Ji Northwest Road marching chief, Chai Shao can be the deputy general, and Shuofang General Pang Xiaotai can be the marching general. In this way, Li Ji coordinates the overall situation and has him by the prince's side, the prince's safety is not a problem. Chai Shao is in charge of the back and allocates money and grain, and Pang Xiaotai is in charge of the front and acts as the vanguard general." Li Ke expressed his long-considered idea, and this vanguard general is Li Tai's person. He is a general of Shuofang who has won over to his camp in the past few days. Li Ke has cooperated with Li Tai, so naturally he has won Pang Xiaotai a position where he can make contributions but cannot be forced to be made.

"Well——" Li Shimin nodded, expressing his agreement with Li Ke's proposal. He asked everyone, "What do you think?"

"I agree with His Highness the Northern King's suggestion!" Changsun Wuji said. In addition to Pang Xiaotai, such an arrangement was also his thoughts. However, Pang Xiaotai and Changsun Wuji also knew very well that the merits could not be taken into account alone, so he did not care about his position as a pioneer general.

"I agree!" Wang Gui said that the position Li Ke has won for Pang Xiaotai is very important. As long as the vanguard wins, this is Pang Xiaotai's military achievements and no one can take them away. He is also very satisfied, so naturally he has no objection.

The two princely parties of Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui and the leader of the Dongwang Party had no objection. The rest of them also felt that Li Ke had made many arrangements appropriate, so they naturally did not object. In this way, the candidate for the generals who fought against Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty was determined!

Immediately, Li Shimin asked again, "How many troops should we send?"

"Father, the North Mansion can allocate 100,000 cavalry, and they will be dispatched by the Northwest Marine Road General Manager." Li Ke took the initiative to speak. Since he had agreed to Li Tai and Li Chengqian, he generously said this number.

This is the 100,000 elite cavalry for Li Chengqian, but there is also the 50,000 to Li Tai. Because, as long as Pang Xiaotai wins the battle, the credit will be made by Li Chengqian and Li Ji. They do not have to give it to Pang Xiaotai. Instead, it is desirable to take this opportunity to consume the elite cavalry of the Northern Palace. Furthermore, Li Ke arranged Pang Xiaotai as the vanguard general, and the purpose was here. As the vanguard general, his first battle with the Turks was particularly important to the entire battle situation. In this case, the world-famous cavalry, as the elite soldiers of the Northern Palace, will naturally be placed in the vanguard position, that is, in the hands of Pang Xiaotai, which can be regarded as fulfilling Li Ke's promise to Li Tai. Li Ke's move was a two-handed killer, which was beneficial to both Li Chengqian and Li Tai, so he believed that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were not opposed.

"Emperor, Shuofang has an army of 130,000, the new army of 100,000, the Northern Prefecture's elite cavalry, and the Tang Dynasty sent a total of 330,000 troops, which is enough to fight Tuyuhun! If there are many soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to travel on the road of Shuofang and it will be difficult to transport food and grass on a large scale, which will lead to a shortage of food in the army!" As the Minister of War, Hou Junji analyzed this issue very clearly, so he advised Li Shimin.

"Well, Wenben, you will be responsible for the food and supplies this time together with the Ministry of Revenue!" Li Shimin trusted Cen Wenben's ability and handed over such an important task to him. This is because in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Cen Wenben and Fang Xuanling were specifically responsible for the food and supplies of the army. Li Shimin valued Cen Wenben's ability. Last time, Cen Wenben's position was low and he was named Fang Xuanling. Now, as the Minister of Personnel, Cen Wenben naturally has the ability to be responsible for it alone.

"I accept the order!" Cen Wenben bowed and replied.

The problem was solved, and the atmosphere in Liangyi Hall became much more active! Both of them were satisfied with the results of this discussion, which was obviously a happy situation.
Chapter completed!
