Chapter 155: Scheming in Tibet (Finale)
Chapter 155: Plotting against Tibet (Final)
In fact, everyone understands the truth, and Li Shen also knows that today's large-scale war of annihilation is not something that can be fought by an empire like Datang, but also takes into account the feelings of the surrounding small countries, once these small countries unite to deal with Datang, Datang's current military strength is really unable to carry out long-term operations.
The big country has the advantages of a big country, but there are many disadvantages, the border line is too long, not suitable for large-scale operations, and the personnel are relatively scattered, and the population of Datang is too small now, once a large-scale operation is carried out, there will be heavy casualties, even if the surrounding small countries can be wiped out, but the price Datang can't bear.
None of the people here are stupid, and they can't be persuaded by relying on Li Shen's few words, what they are considering is the interests of the whole, and what Li Shen said is still unknown to them.
Dare to be the first person to eat crabs, often get the greatest reward, but that is also daring, how can military affairs be child's play, once it doesn't work, no one can afford the consequences.
"What do you mean?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a frown.
"Of course, Erchen means to fight, but Erchen also takes into account the current situation in Datang, as well as the small countries around Datang, this decision is not something that Erchen can make, if he fights, he must mobilize the entire Datang to monitor the surrounding Fanbang small countries to prevent accidental sounds." Li Shen replied.
"This matter is not in a hurry, according to the opinion of the old minister, for the time being, it is still a careful plan to make a decision." Fang Xuanling said with a frown.
"Erchen means to inform you, you discuss and deal with it, if you capture Tubo, this will definitely be a lot of benefits, at least this route to the Western Regions is completely controlled in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the captured strong men, which can also improve the overall development speed of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shen replied lightly, and followed: "Father's imperial examination is about to be held, and in a few days, the ministers will ask Wu Meiniang to send you a charter for selecting talents, and then you will have to trouble you to intercept the candidates who came to Chang'an City to catch up with the exam." If there is no other matter, the minister will take his leave first. ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and said, "I will give you an answer in a few days." ”
Li Shen nodded.
Looking at the back of Li Shen standing up and turning to leave, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly and said, "What do you think?" Is this battle fought or not? ”
"Your Majesty, do you want it?" Xiao Yu asked with a frown.
"With this plan, the prince just said that the defeat of the Tubo Tang Dynasty will definitely get more benefits, anyway, the soldiers in the court are also cleaning up the remnants of Tubo, and the most important thing is that I want to see how much of the prince's 3,000 men and horses have the ability."
"Three thousand men and horses, can they withstand the army of Tibet?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with suspicion on his face.
"I guess it's still okay, otherwise the prince wouldn't boast about Haikou and say such things." Fang Xuanling said.
"If I use his kind of weapon, I feel like I can take down Tubo in one fell swoop." His Majesty Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is it so powerful, that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rely on it, relying on 3,000 men and horses to be able to take down the entire army of Tibet?" Wei Zheng asked with curiosity on his face.
"I can't say this, it's just a very magical weapon, it's not very big, it can be used by a single person, two or three hundred meters away, more than ten meters in range, that kind of weapon fights, it's difficult for people around to survive." His Majesty Li Er frowned and replied, thinking about the power caused by that weapon that night, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and it was a bit beyond people's imagination, just like a god casting a spell.
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Hit!" His Majesty Li Er said in a cold voice, and then said: "Since you have the courage to deceive me, you have to accept my punishment, I believe that the crown prince can give me a different surprise, and summon Cheng Yanjin and them to the palace to discuss the conquest of Tibet." ”
Wei Zheng and the others smiled helplessly and shook their heads, there is no way, after a battlefield, the people of the Tang Dynasty will start to be unpeaceful again.
Regarding this war behavior, His Majesty Li Er's most important thing is to take a peek at Li Shen's bottom line, and to see what kind of weapons and equipment the 3,000-strong army has been formed, and how much combat effectiveness it can exert.
Besides, Li Shen didn't have anything to hide from His Majesty Li Er, and three thousand people went to Xingqing Palace to equip weapons, but he knew it clearly.
If it is really as Li Shen said, His Majesty Li Er knows that he wants to change the way of thinking about the development of Datang and push Datang to a higher level, a level that the three emperors and five emperors cannot surpass.
In addition, now Li Shen is like this, he doesn't need to worry about the future heir, let go of this kind of thought, His Majesty Li Er has nothing to worry about, Datang is now the wind and rain, the land area has expanded to become the largest in all dynasties, he has no pursuit, the only pursuit is to hope that the people's lives can rise to a higher level, or improve a few levels, just like the air conditioning in his house, if the people can also use it, these things can be popularized in Datang, how good it would be.
Fantasy is fantasy, His Majesty Li Er knows that it is difficult to achieve, unless according to what Li Shen said, Datang completely changes the law and uses the power of the whole empire to develop the industrial base of Datang, which is likely to be realized one day in the future.
Fang Xuanling looked at His Majesty Li Er, who was shining with strange thoughts in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, what is wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Why is there such a big change? It's like a different person, and all those weird things? Where the hell does this stuff come from? ”
His Majesty Li Er is indeed a very good person, the air conditioner is installed in the room, looking at these old ministers who have followed him for most of his life, they have to sweat to deal with court affairs in such a hot weather, and they also shouted them to the room, enjoying the comfort brought by the air conditioner.
"It's hard for me to say, and I don't know how to talk about it, so you guys will grow up as princes! As for these miraculous things, I can't say anything, and the only one who can answer them is probably the prince. ”
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obtained the magic weapon left by the immortals?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked jokingly.
His Majesty Li Er snorted and said, "It is estimated that you know more about the prince than I do!" I remember that Changsun Chong has been with him for more than a month, and now he is serving in the army, or you can tell you about it. ”
"How did the old minister know, the things that Chong'er brought back were basically some propaganda skills and methods, and the old minister also asked, but the stinky boy didn't say a word, saying that it was confidential, and he was not allowed to talk nonsense to the outside world, and the old minister didn't have any way." The eldest grandson Wuji replied with a smile.
