The three conquests of Goguryeo were also a cause of the rebellions at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

It is also said that Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo was to consume the power of the gate valve.

War and construction cannot coexist, and what the emperor thinks may not necessarily do next.

Yang Guang's idea is good, but his approach is indeed wrong.

Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

At the beginning, after the Han Dynasty unified the world, there was no Goguryeo one, only Goguryeo people, and at that time Goguryeo was the territory of Han, and the four counties of Han were today's Goguryeo.

It was the territory of the Great Han.

According to the current Central Plains scholars, Goguryeo is a thief, and they took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to even take the area of Liaodong.

The territory even exceeds south of the Yalu River.

There is a lot to say in history.

Yang Guangdong's expedition said that it was to recapture the four Han counties that belonged to the Central Plains.

One said that it was to consume the strength of the Shandong Shi clan.

Li Shimin's eastward expedition to Goguryeo was a matter of time, and now he needs to accumulate national strength.

Yang Guang's experience is in front of him, and Li Shimin will not easily repeat the mistakes of the past.

Today's Datang is not rich.

But Li Shimin will definitely do this, and Li Shimin of Yang Guangmu will not know about it.

The identity of the Han people is the imprint of the Central Plains, and it is imperative to recapture the four counties of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Guang failed, but his failure gave a signal to later dynasties.

In other words, the current Li Shimin is so inflated that he wants to conquer Goguryeo so quickly?

This idea is actually quite dangerous, and if you want to go east to Goguryeo, you should first think about your own worries, that is, the movement of Tibet.

If you don't take Tubo for a day, and if you don't beat Tubo for a day, it's still too difficult to conquer Goguryeo.

Once the Eastern Crusade begins, if the defense of the Hexi Corridor is lax, Songtsen Gampo is likely to take this opportunity to take the Hexi Corridor, and then there will be a great chaos in the group of dragons without a leader.

As long as the rear is stable, it is okay for Li Shimin to want to go east.

In the final analysis, Li Shimin is so inflated that he is very happy.

Li Zheng said to Feng An: "If you want to say that the Eastern Crusade is not the time now, it will not be a good time to go Eastern in a few years. ”

"Why do you think so?"

"Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo did not win, and once the war began, it consumed national strength, and I don't know if Yang Guang was in a hurry, so he would conquer it three times, so I think that it is not a good time to conquer Goguryeo now, the risk is too great, the benefits are too small, and it is easy to let the Tang Dynasty fall into the quagmire of war."

"War has to be paid, take out one million yuan of war preparations, if you want to return the original income, you have to return three million yuan of income to be considered profitable, this is the cost of war, if you can't get back the income of one million yuan in vain, the bad is even more reputation."

"Once you go on the expedition, you must take it, give military merits, pay for the military, give knights, these are all necessary, once the national war starts, it will be the interests of the entire Central Plains, a deficit of one million yuan may not be a trivial matter, but if you lose the hearts of the people, you may not be able to take it back."

"If you can't get back the profits, Your Majesty is likely to follow in Yang Guang's footsteps if you want to continue to raise."

"Goguryeo will have to be reclaimed sooner or later, but not now, at least until the west of the Tang Dynasty is pacified, it is not a good time to go on an expedition."

After listening to Li Zheng's words, Feng Ang saw that this kid's eyes were getting more and more different, and he analyzed it very well.

They had also discussed privately with Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong before, and it was indeed not a good time to go on the expedition.

Fang Xuanling and Li Zheng's words are basically the same, and Fang Xuanling also thinks so, and now is not a good time to go east to Goguryeo.

This kid is quite right when he says that war has a cost.

A big war costs more than a million dollars.

When Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, he almost hollowed out the century-old accumulation of the former Sui.

This is the end of a catastrophe.

Once you can't get back enough benefits, it's okay to win, but it won't be a trivial matter to lose the hearts of the people once you lose.

Li Zheng spoke more clearly than Fang Xuanling, and this kid seemed to understand the essence of war.

It is indeed rare for a child who has not yet reached adulthood to be able to look at war with such an attitude.

War is not a business, at the time of the Weishui Alliance, the Turks were already about to kill in front of the gate of Chang'an.

This was a shame for Li Tang Jiangshan, who accumulated national strength and gritted his teeth to launch a counteroffensive against the Turks in the First Battle of Yinshan.

In the end, Datang won a big victory, and since then Datang has gotten the Yinshan natural risk, and the gains after this victory can be imagined to be very rich.

The Turks have sacrificed countless cattle and sheep, and if there is no great victory in Yinshan, there will be no current Tian Khan.

Feng Ang put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Li Zheng, it's really a pity that you don't become an official." ”

Li Zheng waved his hand and said: "It's a pity, it's not the material to be an official." ”

Feng Ang stood up and said, "It's time for the old man to go back to Chang'an, now the old man's identity is very bad, and he can't leave Chang'an for too long." ”

"Then I won't send General Feng below."

Feng Ang patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, "The old man thinks that you are suitable to be a civil servant, not a general, Your Majesty is really a waste to let you serve in the Longwu Army, people like you should always give ideas to Your Majesty." ”

Li Zheng's smile froze, "General Feng said and laughed, that's a matter of eunuchs, my father is only one of my sons, and I still have to leave a queen for the family." ”

Feng Ang said with a smile: "You know that the old man is not talking about this, this time he came in a hurry, if he is free in the future, the old man must have a good drink with you, although you kid is like a thief, but he lives transparently, and his words are also transparent, the old man can be friends with you." ”

Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't dare to climb high below." ”

"Gao Pan? Can't? Hahaha. Feng Anlang laughed, "You kid will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future, the old man traveled all over the Central Plains when he was young, and he saw many, many people, and people like you can live for a long time." ”

"Thank you, General Feng, for your words."

"The old man has taken his leave."

Li Zheng still saluted and said, "Don't send it." ”

Feng Ang left Jingyang, and Li Zheng thought of a very serious problem.

When he came to the printing shop, Xu Jingzong had already written the magazine and was ready to be printed.

Li Zheng pulled Xu Jingzong aside and asked, "Old Xu, let me ask you something." ”

Seeing Li Zheng's somewhat anxious expression, Xu Jingzong was confused, "County marquis, please speak?" ”

"What do the people in Chang'an say about me now?"

Xu Jingzong replied: "They all say that the county candidate is the first talent today. ”

"What else?" Li Zheng asked again.

"There is ......" Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said: "The county marquis is not close to women, likes money, does not want to be an official, and knows all kinds of work." ”

"Did anyone say that I was like a god?"

Xu Jingzong nodded suddenly and said: "There is indeed such a thing, they say that the county hou is a person who knows the heavenly machine, and even Yuan Tiangang usually says that the county hou is not as good as him." ”

Li Zheng said to himself: "Am I really a god? ”
