It was Li Dongsheng who spoke, and he was also qualified to come in as Shangshu Zuocheng. I couldn't help but get angry when I heard this cliché again: "Give up when you have difficulties, this is the attitude of doing things?" The Tibetans and Turks attacked my governor of Anxi, and my Tang army died in vain after so many deaths? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Dongsheng and said: "Young people, don't be so excited, just talk about things, this is also a way to solve problems." ”

Li Dongsheng and him are now in a situation of fire and water, of course they will not get used to him: "Then Lord Eldest Sun agrees with his opinion?" I'm sorry, I can't accept such a solution to the problem, and I can't imagine that a prime minister would say that he had such a terrible idea, the Tibetan Turkic coalition army attacked our Western Regions, and we would give up, so when they attacked Chang'an, should we give up? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was so angry by Li Dongsheng's words that Lao Tzu just said a word, and you will take off the big hat. He really wanted to go up and quarrel with Li Dongsheng, but with so many people present today, he couldn't lose his dignity, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't hold back the depression of wanting to beat Li Dongsheng, smiled bitterly and turned his head.

The two factions of the DPRK and China have started the mode of verbal cannons again, and they are arguing with each other.

Li Zhi was very bored after listening to it for a while, his brows furrowed, Chen Ping knew that his master was unhappy when he looked at his words, he shook the whip with a "snap", and the hall immediately fell silent.

Li Zhi said: "Today's discussion is about sending troops, don't mention the rest!" Let's see who's going to be the manager. ”

The people below are all thinking and meditating, because this time the stakes are very high, everyone is not easy to speak, after Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin were denied by the emperor, the people in the court who are handsome are all white-haired old men.

"Your Majesty, Weichen recommends one person, and it is Zhonglang General Su Lie Su Dingfang!" Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Li Dongsheng had no choice but to propose a candidate himself.

As soon as Li Dongsheng's words landed, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone was thinking about whether he could complete this task by Su Dingfang.

Li Zhi really didn't have any impression of Su Dingfang, and he gestured to Li Ji with an advisory look. Li Ji whispered: "Your Majesty, I agree with the opinion of the Duke of Lantian County. "Li Ji really admires Su Dingfang, he is both wise and brave, and he is a real handsome talent."

"Your Majesty, Weichen is against it!" Another civilian official came out to show off his eloquence: "That Su Ding is only in his forties, and he has never been a commander, such a person handed over the lives of Datang soldiers to him, isn't this irresponsible to Datang soldiers?" ”

Then where a bunch of people coaxed, Li Zhi had no choice but to make peace with the mud: "This is also a measure of rights and interests." The soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate were still Gao Kan, and Su Dingfang was responsible for the attack of reinforcements. ”

When the lord selected the people, another person said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the operation method of the grenade is the top secret of the Tang Dynasty, how do the Tubo people and the Turks know the weakness of the grenade?" Did someone deliberately leak the secret? ”

Everyone's eyes were on Li Dongsheng, after all, he was the only one who knew firearms.

Li Dongsheng said calmly: "What are you looking at me for?" The grenade has been used for six years, and the enemy has suffered several losses in the battle, and even if he is a pig's brain, he will send someone to inquire about the secret of the grenade. I have long said that the most important thing in winning or losing a war is people. When you charge, you have this big torch in your hand, and the blind know that the grenade depends on this to ignite, and of course they will use various methods to deal with it. Watering is the first step ... ”

The discussion continued in the main hall. Although the war in Datang has stopped in recent years, there is a fixed process there, and the elders in the court are there, so the discussion is very fast.

Since the court made the decision to march into the army, after the next court, all departments worked together to send troops to transport grain, and the entire Tang Dynasty began to mobilize.

The eldest grandson Wuji went down to the court, walked to the house sullenly, took a teacup and didn't drink tea, just where he was in a daze. When the eldest grandson Chong came to greet him at night, he found that his father was so stunned, and he tried to scream a few times before he woke him up.

"I don't know what my father is worried about?"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this son who drank every day and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "You are also an official of the imperial court, and you should also pay attention to national affairs, what does it look like to linger in the land of fireworks all day long?" ”

Changsun Chong said indifferently: "I know, isn't it that Tubo and Turks are joining forces to deal with the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions." What's so good about that place, I've heard people say that it's basically all wasteland, and it looks like it's yellow and bald everywhere, and it's better to spend so much money to maintain it. ”

"Who are you listening to when you say that?" The eldest grandson Wuji said very seriously: "You are such a big person, you have to have your own ideas when you do things, don't follow the crowd." ”

The eldest grandson said, "That's what I think." Father, we want to control the Western Regions for the safety of the Silk Road, that is, we just want to earn the customs duties of the Silk Road. Now the taxes collected by the city department make more than just a little money. ”

"Do you know that Li Dongsheng scolded the streets in the court for the issue of sending troops to the Western Regions?" The eldest grandson Wuji felt that his son could still be saved.

"He just arrived at the government hall and wants to show it?" The eldest grandson gave an answer tentatively, and now he has completely lost the vigor of his youth and has become a greasy middle-aged man.

Hearing the answer of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wuji was completely speechless, he hated why he brought up this question, which made the originally depressed mood even more uncomfortable.

The news that the Tubo and the Western Turks joined forces to invade the Tang Dynasty spread throughout the Tang Dynasty in an instant, but there were no major changes to the society of the Tang Dynasty at all, so it did not cause much panic, mainly because the Tang Army's achievements over the years were too proud.

When it was so poor, the Eastern Turks were annihilated, and Tuyuhun was so awesome that after a few battles, there was the disaster of extermination.

Now it seems that what is the joint offensive of the Tibetans and the Western Turks? It's just a rabble, just waiting for our Tang army to advance west, killing them without leaving a piece of armor.

Unlike the optimism of the people below, Li Zhi and Li Jicheng have been discussing for a long time how to let the Tang army, which does not have sharp firearms, defeat the Tubo and Turkic coalition forces. After all, the thousands of people in the Tang army were destroyed without even throwing a grenade.

"If you want me to say, let's not carry grenades, or go back to the old tactics of large-scale cavalry hedging. Deal with them straightforwardly. "Cheng Biting Jin has always been about the intensity of the main attack.

However, no one listened to him at this time, everyone's eyes were on Su Dingfang, this is the newly selected commander of His Majesty, and his attitude determines the combat method of the Tang Army.
