"Your Majesty!"

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"There is only one thing in the early dynasty this time, and that is the Tang Kingdom." Liu Bian went straight to the point from the beginning and talked about the most important things.

At this time, a courtier in the main hall stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang State is a foreign race, if there is really a danger of extinction of the country, the Tang State will inevitably raise the strength of the whole country to fight with our army, with the current situation of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid this is not the best time!" ”

As soon as the minister finished speaking, a minister stood up, and he undoubtedly agreed with the former's words.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Lord Zhang said is reasonable, there are two million people in the Tang Kingdom, excluding the old and the young, women, there are at least 500,000 men in the Tang Kingdom, and now Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou are eyeing the imperial court, if the manpower, material and financial resources are spent on the Tang State at this time, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the imperial court!"

It can be heard from the remarks of the two ministers that they are not mediocre people, and they have a very good view of the overall situation, and their personalities are steady and cautious.

"The two Aiqing said it very well, I don't know if the other Aiqing have other opinions!"

Liu Wei was naturally dissatisfied with the answers of the two, and of course he was not disgusted, after all, the opinions of the two were not wrong, they were both for the sake of the court and the army.

"Your Majesty, the opinion of the minister and the two lords is exactly the opposite." At this time, Xun Yu spoke.

"Aiqing, please speak!"

Xun Yu's opening naturally made Liu Wei happy, and he hurriedly said.

"You say there are two million people in the Tang Kingdom, but do you know how many Han people are among them? How many steppe people? How many real people are there in the Tang Kingdom? Xun Yu looked at the courtiers and said.

The courtiers who opposed the attack on the Tang State were instantly speechless.

"You don't know, the official came to tell you that only half of the two million people are the people of the Tang Kingdom, and most of the rest are Xianbei people, Wuheng people, Mongols, and Han people, if we handle it properly, we will not face two million people at all, and the enemy's army will not be 500,000 people."

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to say!"

At this time, Liu Ji also stood up.

"Aiqing, please speak!"

Liu Ji stood up at this time, and Liu Wei naturally knew his purpose, and it was definitely not to oppose it, but to say more words to make the rest of the ministers agree and be convinced.

"The Tang State was still in a state of division fifteen years ago, although Li Tang unified the Tang State and pacified the people in all parts of the Tang Kingdom, but Li Tang's enemies are definitely still hidden in the Tang Kingdom.

Although there is a crisis of annihilation, most of them will choose to abandon their previous suspicions, but there are always some people in this world who regard personal grievances as more important than anything else, and the Tang Kingdom has never been unified after all, so this kind of person will definitely not be in the minority, and even some people will push Li Tang at a critical moment and let them be destroyed, which is an opportunity for the army of the imperial court. ”

Liu Ji really stood on the side of Liu Wei and Xun Yu, and with Xun Yu and Liu Ji finished speaking, everyone obviously found that the strength of Tang Guo did not seem to be so strong.

"Then let's talk about it too!"

At this time, Guo Jia also spoke.

"As the two adults said, the defects of the Tang State are very obvious, the internal undercurrent is turbulent, all kinds of forces are mixed, it is not an iron bucket at all, there are not many people who can fight to the death for Li Tang, not to mention the original people of the Tang Kingdom, let's just say that those Han people, Wuheng people, Mongols, and Xianbei people are all we can persuade and win over, so that we can completely disintegrate the Tang State from the inside and weaken the strength of the Tang State."

After a pause, Guo Jia continued, "This is just one of them, secondly, most of the places occupied by the Tang Kingdom are bitter cold places, and their background is not comparable to ours at all, the battle three years ago has already broken their muscles and bones, maybe they haven't recovered now, in a certain sense, it is a good time to attack the Tang Kingdom, after a long time, the Tang Kingdom has become more and more united, and its strength has fully recovered, and the attack is the trouble at that time, and you don't want to be attacked in the north when the army attacks the south, right?" ”

Guo Jia's words are undoubtedly that the ministers in the Taiji Hall have learned about the strength of the Tang State again, and no one can say what the strength of the Tang State is, but at this moment, it must be told that the Tang State is weak.

"The three adults said about the Tang Kingdom, so let's talk about the other three forces!" At this time, Zhang Liang also spoke.

"Aiqing said yes!"

Liu Wei laughed, this time Liu Wei did not inform a few people in advance, but these people were very cooperative, which naturally made Liu Wei very happy.

"When the imperial court went north to crusade against Mongolia, forces such as Cao Cao and Yang Guang did not attack our army, and the minister could not guarantee what would happen to Cao Cao and Liu Bei this time, after all, this time is different from the past.

In addition, the minister thought that the current situation of the three southern forces was not suitable for attacking the imperial court. Let's talk about Yizhou first, Yizhou has lofty mountains and steep mountains, and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for them to come out, and the internal development is also difficult.

If Yizhou's heritage is to be fully restored, and it has the ability to send more than 200,000 troops again, three years is completely insufficient, of course, Yizhou is also the most important force to guard against by the three forces in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, their damage is actually the smallest. ”

After a pause, Zhang Liang continued to speak, "Let's talk about Jingzhou again, Jingzhou was originally controlled by Liu Qi, and now it is controlled by Liu Bei, a year ago, Jingzhou has determined that Liu Qi is dead, Liu Bei successfully controlled Jingzhou, but Liu Bei actually does not fully control Jingzhou, one is from the influence of Liu Cong under Cao Cao, and the other is from the influence of the Jingzhou family, these are all influences in government affairs. ”

"Let's talk about the Jingzhou army, from the beginning of the appearance of the Xiang family, Huang Zu, Liu Pan, Wen Ping and others died in battle, to protect the child and Guiyang County surrendered, the loss began, and after Liu Biao's death, it was even more serious, the sailor left more than half, Nanyang detached, Yizhou, Cao Cao two forces attacked, and then to the war three years ago, Jingzhou lost more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the past ten years, even if Jingzhou has thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of people, it can't withstand consumption.

Moreover, Jingzhou suddenly attacked Yizhou this time, which made Yizhou's previous achievements abandoned, and formed a grudge, if Jingzhou attacked us, Yizhou might not give them a fatal blow, so Jingzhou would not attack us. ”

After saying Jingzhou, Zhang Liang smiled and said to everyone, "Cao Cao, what is the situation, you should be clear, and there is no need to say anything, in addition, in the eyes of the lower officials, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will pay more attention to the Xiang Yu Group in their south." ”

"What do you think?"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Liu Wei looked at the ministers with a smile.

"The words of the four adults went deep into the hearts of the lower officials, but the lower officials were short-sighted and short-sighted."

Master Zhang, who spoke first, was the first to speak, and he directly expressed his apologies to Liu Wei and belittled himself.

"Lord Zhang laughed, in my opinion, Lord Zhang's opinion is also very good, but Lord Zhang must understand a truth, if you are too steady at a time, it may delay the fighter. Whether it is Tangguo, Jingzhou, Yizhou, or Yangzhou, these four forces are now in a weak stage, and once they recover, we will lose the opportunity. Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty! Remember! ”

All the ministers said in unison.

"I will send troops to attack the Tang Kingdom in half a year, and the mobilization of grain, grass, ordnance, and manpower will be laborious."

"This is the duty of the ministers!"

"This attack on the Tang State, with Li Jing's department, the Imperial Forest Army, the forbidden army, Xu Huang's department and the Mongolian iron cavalry, especially the Mongolian iron cavalry, there are many steppe people in the Tang Kingdom, we need Mongolia's help very much, this matter must be done well."

"Yes!"

"Secondly, according to Zifang, the threat of Yizhou is greater than that of Jingzhou and Cao Cao, so Chang'an must pay more attention to it, and send 20,000 troops to Chang'an to assist Montaigne in Chang'an and guard against the enemy of Yizhou."

Liu Wei then commanded.

"Yes!"

"Half a year later, I took the royal expedition and swept through the Tang Kingdom, letting the world know that the power of the Han Dynasty is not disgraceful."

PS: I've changed the plot, and the next plot won't be too long, but I have to make it up, and I'll make it up for a change today, and I'll find an opportunity to make it up later.
