Chapter 705 Impassioned Tongue Battle Quartet

As countless people in later generations said, the Li clan was originally a northern tribe, and it had prospered for several generations before the founding of Li Tang, and there were many foreign bloodlines mixed in the bloodline, so it was also quite open to ethnic issues. Among them, Taizong Li Shimin, with his super strong personality charm and the strong strength of the Tang Dynasty, made many famous foreign warriors serve under his command, and even when he died, there were three people vying for burial, which can be seen.

However, looking at the government and the opposition, there are many generals, and the treatment is very high, but due to the relationship between the government and the military system, except for the Beiya Forbidden Army, the Tang Dynasty has no soldiers, and even the generals and generals actually violate the law. It's okay for the general to recruit a few people outside, even if he privately replenishes the soldiers on a large scale because of too many deserters, after being impeached by the imperial history, at least a crime of conspiracy cannot escape.

It's just like Yoo In's willingness to guard Baekje for many years, but because he was afraid of people's words, he tried to adjust his defense, but he lost his sacred heart in turn. It is just a matter of saying that the general will not be able to accept the life of the foreign monarch, and he does not see the great credit of Li Weigong, but in the end he is still sad and depressed. Since ancient times, generals who fight abroad have always been the focus of the imperial court's vigilance.

Although the government military system is not good in a thousand ways, it has one advantage, that is, it is impossible for the generals to be able to command the army at any time after the war.

It is precisely because of these messy truths that although the government and military system are on the verge of collapse, there are still many people in the DPRK who are holding their necks and refusing to change. Although the couple Li Zhi and Empress Wu had nothing to do, they changed the names of the official positions in the court and the central government countless times. But it didn't touch these fundamentals much, so when Li Xian instructed Pei Yan to bring it up, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the noisy scene was almost like a vegetable market.

The results of the first day, half in favor and half against. Most of those who are in favor are young and vigorous officials in their prime of life, and those who oppose it are senior officials who are old and heavy. All in all, it was a rhetorical sword, and he was amazed by the classic posture. I learned the art of language. More than him, the prince, who would pretend to be deaf and dumb, was the emperor Li Hong, who basically didn't say a word of usefulness during the entire court meeting. It's all there and the mud.

And Her Majesty the Supreme Empress is still recuperating. By the way, the method that Empress Wu used to deal with Emperor Li in the past is now being repaid in his own way. Li Zhi kept saying that the body was the most important, and the others would be put aside for the time being, and he couldn't wait to pull Empress Wu to Jiucheng Palace for a honeymoon. Although the plan did not succeed in the end, Empress Wu had to agree to recuperate for a few more days. Reluctantly, he temporarily delegated all his power to his two sons.

This is an unprecedented situation, so if you don't take this opportunity to set the rules, then it will be so easy to think about it in the future. Therefore, after the court went down this day, Li Xian found Xue Rengui to touch his head, so that he would be more impassioned the next day.

However, after Xue Rengui spoke in the court the next day, he couldn't help but regret the reminder he had reminded yesterday - after Xue Rengui opened his mouth to analyze the situation in the Western Regions, that mouth began to be alarmist—at least to others sounding alarmist. Reasoning about the rise and fall of the facts, and I don't know how Xue Rengui, who doesn't like to read, does his homework, all in all. He painted in vivid detail a picture scroll of the Western Regions, a not-so-wonderful picture scroll.

In the end, Lao Xue said impassionedly that if the Western Regions still maintained the old strategy, then the result would not only be that the four towns of Anxi would be in danger, but even the cities in Hexi would be threatened like never before.

These words immediately caused unprecedented repercussions, with sneers saying that Xue Rengui was old and mediocre, and angry people saying that Xue Rengui was alarmist. is even more calculating, saying that Datang has been operating in the Western Regions for many years, and its foundation is unbreakable. In the end, Li Xian dozed off when he heard it, and in the end he couldn't help it, so he knocked on the wat board angrily.

He glanced at the officials who had quieted down. Said slowly: "You have given examples of actual battles in the Western Regions. It shows that everyone cares about the big picture, which is certainly good. But are you getting one thing wrong? Doing more with less is good. But what does it mean that every battle is won with less? Although I am not a brilliant general, I also know that although a miracle soldier can be effective for a while, once it is mastered by someone, it will be a complete loss in strategy! ”

"Don't say anything else, just say that before the Tubo sneak attack on Tuyuhun, how many times did General Su come to Liangzhou to win more with less? In the end, it's not like a big battle! Don't say anything about that big battle, the Tang Dynasty is still less than Tubo in terms of troops, it's not that they don't want to increase their troops, but they are forced to increase their troops because of the situation in Liaodong! The surprise advance is always just a small road for soldiers, and in a place like the Western Regions, my Datang troops cannot form a certain deterrent force, so we can never hope for a stable backyard. ”

Li Xian rarely spoke at length on this kind of thing, so everyone below didn't react for a while. And Li Hong didn't expect that his lazy brother would suddenly get into trouble at such a time, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized the truth. There are still a lot of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and when fighting in the war, it is the problem of lack of soldiers to be considered.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if there are deserters, the family will sit together, and if it is strictly investigated, the Tang Dynasty will repeatedly conquer the east and defend the border, and the deserters and their families will be convicted of at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Does it really have to be changed?

On this day, the court meeting was temporarily closed under Li Xian's outburst, and Li Xian, who wanted to slip away after the meeting, was tightly surrounded by four chamberlains - needless to say, Li Hong taught him more temper, for fear that he would not be able to catch someone but let people slip away. As soon as Li Xian arrived at the Huiyou Palace, Li Hong threw out a bunch of questions with his head and face, which almost made him scramble.

It was easy to appease the anxious brother, and Li Xian said: "Fifth brother, the military system is naturally good in wartime, because the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, and this military merit can be rewarded with knighthood, and almost all of them win battles, so naturally everyone competes bravely." But since the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, this battle has almost disappeared, and the sporadic small battles do not require so many people to fight, and more are to defend the border. Most of the soldiers in the government are farmers, so those who are nostalgic for their homeland and fields cannot return to the frontier for three or five years, how can there be no deserters? ”

Li Hong wrote a book to commute the crime of deserters when he was still a prince, and when he heard this at this time, he inevitably felt even more worried. Thinking about the forbidden army that has been transferred to defend the Ouchi now, there are often such and such troubles and omissions, and he frowned even more. But will the conscription system proposed by someone in the court make the generals sit on a large power?

"Absolutely." Li Xian shrugged his shoulders, thinking in his heart that over the years, some of the local government soldiers have even become powerful domestic slaves, and the Juntian system has also existed in name only, and he can't help but feel a certain headache, and at the same time, he is also glad that he is not the emperor, and occasionally he can pick a child, "That's why I have to discuss it in the court, even if I have selfish intentions, I can barely consider all aspects." Taking advantage of the fact that there is no major war, we have considered all aspects of the matter, and at least we can set a standard that can be applied for a period of time. ”

This attitude of letting go of the discussion made Li Hong angry, knowing that Li Xian was such a person, he had to glare at this guy viciously, and then asked: "You keep saying that the Western Regions should increase troops, how many people do you need?" "You don't need too many troops, 20,000 or 30,000 is enough, and more is a burden. It's just that it is not possible to blindly restrain yourself, it is best to set up prefectures and counties in a few important places and send a few capable border officials to manage them, just like Emperor Taizong did after he defeated Gaochang. However, it is easy to get a border general and it is difficult to find a side official, which depends on the fifth brother's discernment. ”

Listening to this typical I talk and you do things in a way that Li Hong suddenly shook his head helplessly. If this official has not been put on a real job, no one knows what will happen, and no one can say whether an official with a high reputation in this place will still be able to play an effective role in a foreign place. If you meet someone who is happy with your achievements, you are more likely to provoke a popular uprising.

Brothers, you look at me, and in the end you sigh as if you have a heart. Especially Li Hong, who has been educated by the crown prince since he was a child, and now the emperor has been Li Hong for several years. He understands now, what is ruled by inaction, if such a large territory is ruled by inaction, he doesn't know when the Tang Dynasty will be full of smoke. He really couldn't understand why the good system used by Gaozu Taizong when he was not working now?

And although Li Xian has a lot of modern knowledge to support him, and he is a disciple of Li Ji and an anonymous heir of the art of war, he is only the master of paper most of the time, and it cannot be a universal encyclopedia. Knowing is knowing, understanding is understanding, but he is really blind to the implementation of the problem.

The traverser is not omnipotent, this statement is absolutely true. If it weren't for the danger in the Western Regions, and seeing Lao Xue going to take office, he wouldn't have taken care of that kind of thing so preemptively. At that moment, he once again irresponsibly proposed, imitating the previous decree to ask the officials of the world for advice.

Of course, those things that don't talk about being close to the virtuous and the villainous, don't think he will take a look.

So, after the two brothers' two-hour meeting, Li Xian went back and asked the prime ministers of the political hall to assign the task. Knowing that he was going to issue another order, the four young or old prime ministers couldn't help but look at each other - it seemed that the previous edict of seeking warriors was tossed by Li Xian. Now that the warrior has it, it's time to speak?

"Don't look at me like that!" Facing Pei Yan's meaningful gaze, Li Xian coughed lightly, "Work together, so that Tubo can know that our Datang is watching out for them, so that they can make fewer small moves!" ”
