"Mowgli, what do you guys think about this?" Li Shimin asked.

Eldest Sun Wuji has been thinking about it since he heard the news, and his real thoughts are that he doesn't want Wagang to participate in this battle.

You must know that not long ago, it cost two million, and now the bicycle factory has only begun to build, and the cost has been invested.

Besides, when Wagang joined the Central Plains War, the first thing he offended was Youzhou, and the second thing he offended was the various forces, with the soldiers and horses they can mobilize now, even if they cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Tang State, I don't know how much results they can really achieve.

The most important thing is that fighting a war costs money, and the troops consumed are all in short supply now, otherwise they would not have invested two million guan to open a workshop, isn't the purpose to give Wagang a way to accumulate wealth.

But he also knew that they couldn't get out of the affairs of Tang Guo, and it was really difficult for him to choose.

"Now that the commerce of Wagang City has just begun, if you enter the conquest now, I am afraid that it will affect the foundation of Your Highness." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

The eldest grandson Wuji will not lie to Li Shimin in terms of interests, and when it comes to the fundamentals, once there is a loss, it will be huge.

Besides, the Tang State sent Li Jiancheng, can the two sides really cooperate together, the most feared thing is to let the Tang State fall into the quagmire of war, which will not only not have development but will be restricted.

Can Li Shimin not know, but for them, they know what Wagang City needs, and is it really so easy for the forces of the Central Plains to occupy it.

"This time, Li Jiancheng will bring 200,000 soldiers and horses, since we can't avoid it, then we must take the initiative, as for the affairs of Youzhou, we still have to work hard and go to explore the wind first."

Li Shimin has an understanding of Li De, and this situation may affect the pattern of power expansion, but it does not seem to affect it in terms of business cooperation.

At least Li Shimin believes in Li De's credibility, and the bicycle equipment invested should not be repaid, and his hole card is definitely not Li De's credibility, but his sister Li Xiuning.

After all, with this family affection, as long as you open your mouth at a critical time, I believe there is still room for relaxation.

Li Shimin didn't want to participate in the war in his heart, at least he didn't want to participate now, Wagang City had just begun to develop, and it was his foundation that if he could develop well, he would definitely rise in a few years.

While Li Shimin was watching, Li Jiancheng had already set off with 200,000 soldiers and horses, leaving no force in the places he passed.

Li Jiancheng's strong expansion has attracted the attention of various forces.

"Is the Tang Kingdom starting to do it, if you can integrate all the scattered forces and deal with it, it will be easier to deal with it, but it will hurt those people."

"Inform it, from now on, the Youzhou forces can accept the people of the Central Plains."

Li De's idea was very simple, all the displaced people caused by the war were absorbed into the Youzhou forces, and as long as they could increase the foreign population when the Tang State made a move, they would be earned in this battle.

What is the purpose of expanding power, it is not to grab people and territory, what can you do if you occupy such a large place, in the final analysis, you still need people.

Youzhou's new urban area still needs a lot of farmers, and if you take the opportunity to recruit more people, your grain output will double in the future.

When Li Jiancheng led his troops to attack the territory strongly, Li De was also planning to benefit from it.

It is not without reason that the Tang State has been able to develop until now, and counting Li Shimin's soldiers and horses, he has enough millions of soldiers and horses, which is also a strong enemy for Youzhou.

But the difference is that Youzhou has sufficient supplies, and if he wants to destroy the Tang State and attack the Central Plains, he can directly declare war.

For such a big matter, Li De still wants to hear the opinion of the think tank.

So in the council hall of the Youzhou City Guard's Mansion, Li De brought his father, Pei Gong, and the king of the backer all to discuss things.

The Central Plains is very important to Youzhou, and Tang Guo has made up his mind to take advantage of this time, so how to deal with it, whether to fight or delay or use other methods needs to be discussed.

There was no governor to attend this meeting, because they were all sent to Lingnan, so the people who appeared were all very important people in charge of the think tank and the city guard office.

Fighting a war is not just a matter of having soldiers and horses, food and wages, bandits and bandits can do this, and they can't easily judge war.

Every decision has a significant meaning and effect, and it affects many things.

"The Central Plains forces seem to be scattered, but we can't underestimate the power of the anti-king, although the Tang State has sent troops, but with the current situation, the powerful forces will definitely not choose to go to war directly, so that we can take advantage of the Tang State to open conditions and also open the corresponding conditions."

Li De's father spoke very directly, and his idea was that it was okay to win over those forces, and it was still very attractive according to Youzhou's co-optation process.

"Li Gong's idea is not appropriate, those who oppose the king are all people who are determined to occupy one side, what interests do they have to talk about, it is better to wait for the people of the Tang State to entrap them than to directly mobilize the vanguard to strike first." Pei Gongdao.

Li De is still more optimistic about Pei Gong's statement.

The backer has been listening, and many people have already put forward their opinions.

"Have you ever thought that once Youzhou enters the war, it will have to confront the Tang State, and those forces are very likely to fall directly to the Tang State."

Everyone understands the meaning of the king of the backer, especially those who oppose the king will definitely not give up the military power in their hands, and Youzhou will not accept the forces with private soldiers to be attached, so it is destined that they will have no possibility of resolving the matter peacefully.

The most important thing is that, as the king said, if Youzhou goes to war, then their enemy will no longer be the forces of the Central Plains, but will have to face the Tang State.

Once the war starts, it is very likely to directly develop into a battle for the world.

"Li De, are you ready, is it best for Youzhou to prepare?" The backer king asked.

Li De had to think deeply, as the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, porcelain does not touch with crockpots, Youzhou is porcelain.

Fundamentally, what kind of benefits will the war in the Central Plains have for Youzhou, and how much benefit it can have after the occupation is the key.

Similarly, once the war starts, the business of Youzhou will suffer a lot of losses, and the loss is people, money, and accumulation.

Is Li De sure that he can defeat his opponent, he can directly answer that he Yes, all kinds of new weapons in the blacksmith workshop are his reliance, and the consumption of the same war in Youzhou is far greater than the investment of various forces in the Central Plains of the Tang Kingdom.

Those new weapons are really a money-burning model every minute.

"Youzhou will not give up the Central Plains, but the timing is not right, even so it is impossible for the good Tang Kingdom to get half a penny."

Li De's attitude is very clear, everyone is thinking about how it is possible to tolerate the blockade of the north-south trade route.

He said it easily, but everyone here knew that from the fact that there were no lieutenants in the conference room, they knew that all the senior generals were now in Lingnan, so should they let the metropolitan governor personally recruit them.
