Chapter 391 Goguryeo
"The second wish?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard Qin Qiong's words. The first wish was to destroy the Turks, so what was the second wish?
"Shubao, Yang Guang fought against Goguryeo three times, and hundreds of thousands of troops buried his bones in Liaodong, but he still returned in vain. Although I hated Goguryeo to the core, our Tang Dynasty is far less powerful than before the Sui Dynasty. Even if we had to raise all the troops from all over the country, it would be difficult to destroy Goguryeo. Moreover, with your current situation, it would be even more difficult to persuade the King of Qin to attack Goguryeo!" At this time, Ma Master suddenly sighed.
In the past, when Ma Ye mentioned Goguryeo, he often looked disdainful, but when he first participated in the three campaigns of Goguryeo, he was always in a desperate situation, which also formed a huge shadow in his heart. He usually disdained, but if he really wanted to raise an army to attack Goguryeo, he would not have much confidence.
"Brother Ma, you also know that hundreds of thousands of troops are heading to Liaodong, and among these corpses, there are our brothers, big heads, old cows, and black tigers..." Qin Qiong seemed very excited at this time, especially in the end he told the names of the brothers one by one, with hundreds of them. Unfortunately, except for him and Ma, all of them died in the battlefield in Liaodong.
When Ma Ye heard familiar names, he burst into tears for a moment. These people were either his brothers or his subordinates. Unfortunately, under the circumstances at that time, he could only watch these people either died in battle or died in the harsh climate of Liaodong. He could not forget the powerlessness and anger until now.
"Destroy our Central Plains army, this is national hatred, killing my brothers and brothers, this is family hatred. Under national hatred, I, Qin Qiong, must destroy Goguryeo no matter what, otherwise I will die with my eyes open!" Qin Qiong slapped the bed and said angrily. Compared with the Turkic hatred for killing my father, Goguryeo's national hatred and family hatred are even more unforgettable!
When Li Xiu next to him saw this, he couldn't help but blink. He seemed to remember that Yang Guang took the initiative to attack Goguryeo, but it was a big defeat. However, it seems that Yang Guang cannot be blamed entirely. After all, Goguryeo is not a good bird. He took advantage of the constant war in the Central Plains and robbed the land of Liaodong. Who would Yang Guang beat him if he didn't?
In addition, from the standpoint of the people of the Central Plains, whoever is right or wrong? Anyway, you kill people, so I will seek revenge on you. This is what is called "butt" determines the head. As for what is wrong, it doesn't make sense. For people of this era, the truth is that big fists are the truth.
"Boy, do you think these two wishes of Shubao can be realized?" Ma Ye suddenly turned his head and asked Li Xiu, who had not spoken. He knew that Li Xiu had always had great insights on these major events, otherwise Li Shimin would not like to chat with Li Xiu so much.
Li Xiu pondered for a moment, and soon raised his head and smiled: "Uncle Ma, General Qin's first wish is actually coming true soon. The Turks took advantage of the opportunity when the Qin King was not stable to rise up and march south. Although the Tang Dynasty found several victories, they had to humiliately offer food, grass and money to allow the Turks to withdraw their troops. This kind of shame and great humiliation of the Qin King would definitely not bear it. In addition, there were signs of division within the Turks, so I am sure that after the Qin King ascended the throne, as long as he found an opportunity, he would destroy the Turks in one fell swoop!"
The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks was the most proud thing in history. Li Xiu naturally knew that Li Shimin had received his own help. With high-yield crops, the problem of food could be solved quickly. And with gunpowder, even if the Turks did not have civil strife, Li Shimin would have the strength to destroy the Turks in a few years.
"I naturally know these things. It's just that Shubao has a grudge against the Turks to kill his father. If he couldn't participate in this war personally, he would probably not be willing to do so!" Master Ma said again when he heard this. At the end of the conversation, he looked at Qin Qiong specifically.
"It's still Brother Ma who knows what I think. I know I don't have the ability to become the commander of the first army. But even if I can participate in this battle to destroy the Turks as an ordinary soldier, I am satisfied!" Qin Qiong first smiled bitterly, then looked at Li Xiu, with a look of a hint in his eyes, because he knew that Li Xiu had a close relationship with the King of Qin. If he could help him, Li Shimin might agree to participate in the battle to destroy the Turks.
"General Qin, I can understand your mood, and I will try my best to help you fight for it, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful. In addition, even if you want to use troops against the Turks, you may have to wait for a few years, so General Qin, don't be too anxious. Maintaining your body is the most important thing!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment and immediately spoke. In fact, he was not sure. After all, no one could guess Li Shimin's thoughts, but in this case, he could only agree to help Qin Qiong fight for it.
"Thank you, Li Ji!" Qin Qiong bowed to him happily when he saw Li Xiu willing to help.
"General Qin is polite. In fact, based on my understanding of the King of Qin, it is certain that I will destroy the Turks. Moreover, the King of Qin is an extremely restless person and will never allow any threats around him. Therefore, after destroying the Turks, other surrounding countries will probably suffer. Xueyantuo, Gaochang, Goguryeo, etc., these countries will sooner or later be targeted by the King of Qin. With the courage of General Qin, as long as your health is fine, the King of Qin will definitely use you more!" Li Xiu said with a smile again at this time.
Li Xiu said that Li Shimin was a restless person. To be precise, he should be a person who lacks sense of security. People who lack sense of security either become timid or cowardly, or build themselves extremely powerfully and eliminate all possible threats around them. Li Shimin belongs to the second type of person. Zhao Kuangyin's words "How can others sleep soundly beside the bed?" are also the best portrayal of Li Shimin. This also destined that after he ascended the throne, all countries around the Tang Dynasty would be in trouble.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye next to him couldn't help but lit his eyes, and then he asked impatiently: "Boy, according to what you said, the King of Qin may really attack Goguryeo after he ascended the throne?"
"It's not possible, but it's certain!" Li Xiu smiled and corrected Ma Ye's words. Although Li Shimin in history failed to destroy Goguryeo, he severely damaged Goguryeo, which also laid a solid foundation for the later destruction of Goguryeo by Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. Moreover, history has changed now, the strength of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be several times stronger than in history. It is not impossible for Li Shimin to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Li Shimin in the inner hall of Wude Hall also looked at Changsun nervously. Sun Simiao next to him was taking her pulse. Speaking of which, since Changsun gave birth to Li Lizhi, the later Princess Changle, he has been in poor health. Not only do he often get sick, but he also feels distressed from time to time. This has become a heart disease for Li Shimin. Especially after he launched a coup, there was only a relative like Changsun who silently supported him behind his back.
After Sun Simiao's pulse for a long time, he slowly stopped his hands and stroked his beards, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Li Shimin next to him wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Sun Simiao's thinking, so he could only be anxious. After a while, Sun Simiao suddenly looked up and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if you can invite the children of Princess Qin to come over?"
"Uh? Why did Master Sun meet Cheng Qian and the others?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this. Changsun, who was half-lying on the soft couch, showed a worried expression. She had suffered from heartache these days and felt that she had no strength all over her body, so she usually could only lie on the soft couch.
"This..." Sun Simiao seemed to feel a little difficult to explain. After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Your Highness, this disease of the princess is different from ordinary diseases. It is likely to be a disease caused by congenital diseases, and this disease is generally passed on to his children, so I want to see if several of the princess' children also have such diseases."
When she heard that her illness might be passed on to her children, Changsun's face suddenly became very pale, and a sense of unspeakable fear surged in her heart. However, she was not an ordinary woman after all, so she quickly reacted and hurriedly ordered someone to call Li Chengqian and others. Speaking of which, she now has two sons and one daughter with Li Shimin, namely Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Lizhi. As for the later Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang, they were not born at all.
After a while, Li Chengqian and his sister came here, and then Sun Simiao took their pulses respectively. Among them, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were nothing. However, when Li Lizhi, a little girl who was only over three years old, Sun Simiao's face changed, which made Li Shimin and Changsun feel sank.
However, Sun Simiao didn't say anything. After diagnosing the three children, he asked someone to send them away. Before he could speak, Changsun asked anxiously: "Master Sun, how are my three children?"
"Your heart disease has little impact on the two princes. At most, you should pay attention to adulthood and don't be too tired. Just exercise more often." When I said this, Sun Simiao paused for a moment, and then spoke again, "But the impact on the girl is relatively large. The little princess's condition just now was quite serious."
"How serious is it?" Li Shimin asked calmly at this time. He was also very fond of Li Zhi's daughter, and even more than Li Chengqian and Li Tai. So now when he heard that his daughter had physical problems, he was more anxious than anyone else. He was just a man, but he could not show it at this time, otherwise the Changsun family next to him would only be more helpless.
