Chapter 154: Plotting against Tibet (3)
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shen with a smile, although the change is really great, but now he has become a qualified heir who can take responsibility, ignoring the affairs of the court, but these days he can often say a lot of good things from His Majesty's mouth, it seems that there is a successor to the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't need to worry about it, the most important thing is that he can appease the eldest grandson Chong, which makes him very pleased, and said: "Does Your Highness already have a plan, don't you say it, let the old minister and others refer to it." ”
Li Shen nodded slightly, and said: "That is, my personal opinion, you listen to it, anyway, I will never approve of this matter of harmony." ”
"Your Highness, please speak." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, he didn't approve of harmony, but those people in the court and China united, which made him a little helpless, just like Li Shen said Tubo This is a wolf's ambition is clearly known.
"Agree to Heqin, the preparation time will be about two months, and the logistics preparations for the large-scale war in two months should be about the same, and when the Heqin team is about to arrive at the border of the Tang Dynasty, the next holy decree will directly say that Tubo is guilty of bullying the king, and take Tubo in one fell swoop, the main military force of Tubo can be solved, and the DPRK and China only need to clean up other weak forces in Tubo and capture the strong labor force of Tubo."
"The second is not to get along, slowly drag it out until the comprehensive military reform of the Tang Dynasty is completed, and the road is built to Tubo, when the Tang Dynasty is almost invincible, and then all the small countries around the Tang Dynasty will be wiped out in one fell swoop." Li Shen said lightly.
Everyone else looked at Li Shen with strange faces, this is too simple, conquer all the countries around Datang, even if Datang is strong, I'm afraid it doesn't have that ability.
His Majesty Li Er stared at Li Shen tightly and said, "Are you ready to comprehensively reform the army of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Shen nodded slightly, and said: "The industrial base is not good for the time being, it is estimated that it will take a year or two, and after the industry has taken a certain step, the Tang army, including the current law, must be reformed." ”
There are many things that today's ministers don't know, even if it's the word industry, they can't understand it at all, and they only know that the air conditioner and table lamp in His Majesty Li Er's room are magical things, and they don't know that these things are all products of industry.
"You mean not to get along for a while?" His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked, to be honest, his plans for Li Shen were also very vague, he didn't understand those novel things at all, and he didn't know how Li Shen would do it in the future.
"This depends on the father, the son's will agree to the family, and take Tubo in one fell swoop, which can not only solve the safety of the border people, but also capture more strong laborers for the use of the Tang Dynasty, after all, many things need people to do, and the benefits of starting a war are far more powerful than inviting the people to work, and it is also a dangerous thing to open mountains and pave roads, the population of Datang is too small now, and Lone does not want to see them die in these things." Li Shen replied.
"What do you think?" His Majesty Li Er asked a few old ministers.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is a little confused, and he doesn't quite understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means? A war costs the people and money, how can it bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty, this is simply unheard of, if it can really bring wealth, the Han Dynasty will not perish, that... The minister's words are serious, and he asks His Majesty to punish him. Zhang Gongjin said.
"Since the prince said that he can bring benefits, this will definitely be possible, and I can't explain too much to you, so you will naturally know when the time comes, tell me your opinion, whether to fight or not." His Majesty Li Er said lightly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really able to wipe out the main forces of Tibet?" Fang Xuanling asked with a frown.
Li Shen nodded slightly, and said, "There is no need for you to doubt this, Gu Shuo can definitely do it." ”
3,000 armed modern soldiers, the situation of sufficient pills, the elimination of the main force of Tubo, is not a problem at all, the only worry is altitude sickness, this is not based on physical fitness, the first time you board Tubo, altitude sickness will be more or less.
At the beginning, more than 30,000 people led by Su Dingfang and others cleared the remnants of Tubo, but it took nearly half a year to complete the clearance, and hundreds of people were sacrificed in this way.
"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can eliminate the main military strength of Tubo, Lao Chen feels that it is feasible, so that at least the pass to the countries of the Western Regions is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, although Lao Chen does not know what His Royal Highness the Prince's specific intentions are, but Lao Chen believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have his intentions, and should not pull the people of the Tang Dynasty into fire and water for no reason." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hands and said to Li Shimin.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen with a frown, and said, "How sure are you?" ”
Although he has seen the kind of weapon that Li Shen took out, His Majesty Li Er still has no bottom, after all, war is not a joke, once it is launched, but the whole country will be used to conquer it, Datang is now in the stage of recuperation, he still doesn't want to start this large-scale war.
"How do you look at this, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, many situations are not easy to say, and the terrain of Tubo is relatively unfamiliar to us, as long as the main force of Tubo does not touch the army of the imperial court, basically speaking, not much will happen, the sons are worried that they will encounter the army of the imperial court, and the large-scale plateau battle will indeed be a very physically exhausting thing for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and it is easy to cause heavy casualties." Li Shen replied.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince launched a war to destroy the country, and the old minister feels that there is still something wrong, according to the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to face the small countries of the surrounding countries to unite to besiege the Tang Dynasty, after all, even if it is a crime of bullying the king, there is no need to destroy the country, not to mention that it is necessary to capture its strength to be used by the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will ...... at that time."
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he nodded slightly, and what he said was reasonable, even if it was the crime of bullying the king, he would not be guilty of burying the entire Tubo, and besides, this would also arrest the people to do things, and when the small countries around the Tang Dynasty saw this situation, it was estimated that they would have to form a group to besiege the Tang Dynasty, and then the people would fall into fire and water again.
