"Does the teacher mean to declare war while Youzhou is dividing troops?"

Li Jiancheng is not stupid, with the current situation of the Tang Kingdom, if he wants to fight against Youzhou, he has no strength to fight at all.

Even if all the soldiers and horses of the Tang State are less than 500,000, even if Li Shimin's 500,000 soldiers and horses are added, it will not work.

It is not only the problem of insufficient troops, but more importantly, the national strength of the Tang State is very different from Youzhou, and there is no way to support the war for too long in terms of logistics materials.

There is a great chance to use the battle to obtain the position of the crown prince, but he is not sure to defeat Youzhou.

"Your Highness is only half right, Youzhou is now divided into troops, but its strength cannot be underestimated, the south is weak but the distance is too far, I mean you can take advantage of this time to expand the power of the Tang Kingdom." Xue Wanche said.

"What are the teacher's plans, please let me know." Li Jiancheng really couldn't think of it, he had always been a resourceful teacher, and he wanted to know what to do at this time.

He is very persistent about the position of prince of the Tang Kingdom, and he should have been him except for the eldest and youngest princes, so he can only blame his second brother for being too greedy.

When he thought of Li Shimin, he really hated it.

"I heard that Youzhou has recruited 300,000 new soldiers and horses, these people are just to prevent Youzhou's defense from being empty after the division of troops, even if declaring war on Youzhou now will not benefit the Tang State at all."

"But it is precisely because of the expansion of Youzhou that it has been proved that the Tang State must expand its power, otherwise, when the power of Youzhou develops, the Tang State will not have the strength to fight."

"His Royal Highness's opportunity to obtain the good position of the crown prince is to expand the power of the Tang Kingdom, and it is better to directly occupy those small forces than to win them over and let them become part of the Tang Kingdom, and the position of the crown prince can be obtained with these military achievements."

Li Jiancheng understood, it turned out that he was asked to fight in the Quartet, thinking about Xue Wanche's idea is very reasonable.

"Once the war starts, won't those forces take refuge in Youzhou, and getting the support of Youzhou at that time is equivalent to directly starting a war with Youzhou, will my father agree?"

Xue Wanche sighed in his heart, until now, His Royal Highness in front of him doesn't understand, as long as there are enough interests, he will definitely fight for it.

"Those forces will not be attached to Youzhou." Xue Wanche said affirmatively.

Youzhou has never accepted the form of dependence, unless those leaders give up the power in their hands to change careers and become merchants, otherwise there is no room for negotiation.

If the leaders of those forces wanted to change careers, they might have surrendered to Youzhou a few years earlier, so there was no need to worry about that kind of thing at all.

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Li Yuan at this time already had a plan to expand his power, and he could see the long-term better than anyone else.

The pressure brought by the expansion of Youzhou's power to various forces is huge, and if they can occupy Lingnan so quickly, then they may take their power for themselves at any time.

For the various forces in Youzhou, they are afraid, and they can win over the Tang State as long as they throw an olive branch, but not all the forces have the capital to win over.

The Tang State must take advantage of this opportunity to develop, otherwise it will still be suppressed by Youzhou in the future, and the situation in the world at this time is no longer the existence of various forces to balance the relationship.

Because the momentum of Youzhou has made them look up, in a few years Youzhou is likely to unify the world, provided that no one intervenes.

Tang Guo will not just look at it, after all, if Tang Guo is in a weak position, at this time, after all, he must seize the time to expand his power, replenish his military resources, and occupy more areas.

Li De didn't know that because of the Lingnan strategy to put so much pressure on Li Yuan, the courtiers of the Tang Kingdom were all paying attention, and they were more helpless about Youzhou.

When Li Yuan convened the court meeting, many ministers proposed to use the power of Wagang City, and if they could gather millions of soldiers and horses, it would have a huge impact on the Tang State.

"Father, the son is willing to lead the soldiers and horses to the Central Plains, and now Youzhou sends troops to Lingnan, if you let Youzhou develop and increase its strength, it will be a strong enemy of the Tang State, and it is better to send troops to the Central Plains for today, so that the forces of Youzhou and the north and south cannot be combined, which will inevitably cause the biggest obstacle to it."

Li Jiancheng asked for war, the courtiers were very supportive, as long as they occupied the Central Plains, those forces were still not afraid, once the various forces were subdued, the strength of the Tang State would be enhanced, and it would be more advantageous to face Youzhou in the future.

Li Yuan was thinking that the courtiers all supported the main battle, so they might not be able to take advantage of this momentum.

"Okay, I'll give you 200,000 soldiers and horses to send troops to the Central Plains."

Next, Li Yuan did not forget Li Shimin in Wagang City, the courtiers were right, and the strength of the Tang State was indispensable if the strength of the Tang State was first strengthened.

So Li Yuan made an order to let Li Shimin participate in the war in the Central Plains, and the result of this was that Li Shimin had to be compared with Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan didn't mean this at the time, but wanted to gather the strength of the Tang State to deal with this matter, but he ignored how much the two cared about the position of the crown prince.

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed after receiving the news, not long ago he had just carried out business cooperation with Youzhou, at this time the Tang State sent troops to the Central Plains, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was to inhibit the development of Youzhou.

If you agree to come down at this time, it is likely to affect the business with Youzhou, and more importantly, the bicycle business will probably be excluded, and without the market in Youzhou, it will not be able to quickly accumulate wealth, and the development of Wagang City will enter a period of slow development.

What awaits him is to cut down on food and clothing, and continue to endure it, which is not good for Wagang.

He also knew that Li Yuan's ability to make such a decision was well thought out, and the development speed of Youzhou was too fast, and it could be said that it was too powerful.

Now taking advantage of Youzhou's division of troops in Lingnan to expand the power of the Tang Kingdom, Li Shimin already knows what his father is going to do.

Sending troops to the Central Plains was obviously to separate the northern and southern forces in Youzhou, and once the Tang State occupied the Central Plains, it would be able to effectively restrain it, but they seemed to forget that Youzhou was connected to the north and south by sea.

If you don't occupy the sea area, occupying the Central Plains can only play a certain restraining role in Youzhou, but it will have a huge impact on the caravan.

Li Shimin thought that it seemed that it was not impossible to do this, if Wagang could occupy the Central Plains, together with the trade routes between the north and the south, the benefits that Youzhou could bring him would be too great.

In order to open the north-south trade route, Youzhou will inevitably pay a corresponding price, in fact, in Li Shimin's opinion, Youzhou will not compromise, but those businessmen will.

And even if Youzhou knew about the affairs of the Central Plains, unless they intervened, it would mean that Youzhou would go to war with the Tang State at that time.

Although the contradiction between him and Li Jiancheng is very deep, he will also stand on the side of the Tang State after the declaration of war in Youzhou, and he doesn't want to believe that Li De will make such a decision after the confrontation of millions of soldiers and horses.

He knew very well that that would not be of much benefit to Youzhou, maybe Youzhou would win, but in the end, both might lose.
