Chapter 344: It's easy to pull the egg when the steps are big

"So, you deliberately arranged this matter?" After listening to Li Jing's detailed description, Li Yuanji's frowning brows finally let go.

Originally, I thought something big had happened, but now it seems that there are things, but it is not a big deal.

What Li Jing came to report was naturally the matter of the Tubo people crossing the border to sneak attack the baggage team, and the letter was clearly written, and Li Yuanji had personally read the letter.

In addition to seeing the Tubo people coming, I also saw the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army after the restructuring, which changed not only the system, but also the way of fighting.

Of course, this battle showed not all, the artillery had not yet appeared, the cavalry was only the end, and those who participated in the battle were the most ordinary infantry, not even the heavy infantry.

Infantry against cavalry, being able to win two against one, I have to say, this achievement is enough to be proud.

Don't think that Datang is very strong, Datang's army is very strong, even if the infantry fights their cavalry, it can fight two to say the least, those are all nonsense, the infantry occupies an absolute disadvantage in the face of cavalry, and it is enough to steal fun if you can win two fights and one victory.

"Yes, the minister has been thinking about this issue for the second half of the year, but he has never had the opportunity, and the minister feels that this return to the court will definitely make the other party relax, so he explained the matter to the deputy general Gao Yang in advance." Li Jing nodded and admitted.

I didn't say it before, it was because there was nothing, and it wasn't a big deal.

The sneak attack of the baggage team is indeed not a big deal, and there is no loss.

But now that things have really happened, Datang has not suffered a loss, but in the same way, it has also got a legitimate reason to send troops, and this reason is much more reliable than the counterattack that Li Yuanji said I don't know what era.

is famous, this is the core of the Central Plains Dynasty.

If you want to fight whoever you want, then fight as much as you want, and it won't be long before the interior will quickly disintegrate, and it will be useless to lay down as much territory as you want.

Li Yuanji is thinking about this matter carefully, and he has watched a lot of war movies in later generations, although it seems that the performances on it are all braggart at the time, but looking at it now, it also gives himself a good reference meaning.

Sometimes, black belly is universal.

Sometimes, the first strike may not necessarily cure the person.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to fight a war, and the people will not react much to the country that many people have never heard of, but no matter what they think, the reason will still be given.

After all, no one wants their children, husbands, or relatives and friends to die on the battlefield, especially the kind that dies in battle to satisfy the desires of the higher-ups.

Although they are now receiving the most generous treatment in the Tang Dynasty, and an emperor who will not make excuses, after a long time, will naturally not let the soldiers remain loyal.

glanced at Li Jing quietly, but found that this calm stroke made people feel a little abnormal.

But Li Yuanji, who was full of black belly, understood Li Jing's intentions.

Who can explain whether the war is true or false? And a really good general is naturally also the most awesome conspirator, able to turn the fake into the real and the real into the fake.

It is no wonder that Li Jing can later be called the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and he can still be deified, just because of the degree of black belly, he is worthy of the name of this god of war.

"True is false, false is true!" Li Yuanji couldn't help but say these eight words, and sighed: "Yes, I really didn't see the wrong person!" ”

For people with a level, Li Yuanji never hesitated to praise himself, and Li Jing deserved his praise.

It wasn't until this time that anyone understood what they meant.

Although he was a little slow to realize it later, he was still shocked in his heart, especially Cheng Zhijie and other military generals, who admired and hated Li Jing, a conspirator.

"I don't know if it's time to sympathize with the poor Tubo people~~~" Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

"Sympathize with a bird, Your Majesty, do you want to send me to show my hand?" Cheng Zhijie said a little impatiently.

"I'm afraid you'll die there!" Li Yuanji replied angrily.

The generals for this battle have already been decided, and they have all made sufficient preparations in advance, so it doesn't matter if a new general is transferred, as long as the two main generals are not replaced.

But the question is, is Tibet an ordinary place? Cheng Zhijie didn't have any adaptation training, if he really arrived in Tubo, his soldiers could continue to fight, but he, a general, would be dizzy every day, shameful?

"The terrain over there is very good, unlike Chang'an, the old man was also very uncomfortable when he first arrived, and even often dizzy and nauseous, that is, he stayed there for so long before he slowly adapted, and His Majesty did not let General Cheng go for the good of General Cheng." Li Jing had to stand up and say goodbye.

"If you don't go, you won't go, how good it is to be in Chang'an, eat whatever you want, do what you want, the old man doesn't want to suffer there!" Cheng Zhijie pursed his lips and said unhappily.

"Huh!" Li Yuanji smiled, didn't bother to entangle with this goods, and continued: "You can discuss this matter and see how to operate it." ”

The thing is very simple, the whole strategy does not need to be drastically changed, but the effect is one in the sky and one in the ground.

Li Yuanji didn't want to get involved too much in this, after all, Li Jing's thoughts were almost understood, and they were very similar to his own ideas, and in this case, there was no need for him to interfere with the general's performance.

Sometimes, it's not just what you think, and how good the plan is?

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and in the end, you still have to count on these generals, and you can't go there and keep an eye on them, right?

Excessive correction will only cause more trouble, as long as there is no problem in the general direction.

The original plan was that Su Dingfang's side would attack Tuyuhun first, and Li Jing would quietly lead his troops into Tubo for adaptation training, and then Su Dingfang would directly feint to attack Tubo at Tuyuhun to attract Tuyuhun's main force, thereby reducing the pressure on Li Jing's attack.

In fact, this plan is perfect, because the advantage of attacking from Tuyuhun is obvious, the first road is much easier, and if you attack from Yazhou, it is possible to attack on a small scale, but it is difficult to do it on a large scale.

Now, all it takes is to tweak the plan a little.

First Li Jing called for a battle in Yazhou to attract the main force of Tubo, and then naturally it was not a decisive battle, but a confrontation.

And at this time, if Su Dingfang attacks Tuyuhun and the news of Tuyuhun attacking Tubo spreads, I am afraid that Songtsen Gampo will not be able to sit still.

If the main force is transferred back to help, when they arrive first, the troops will be too tired to walk, and Su Dingfang is just waiting for work to fight with them.

If you don't ask, it would be even better, Su Dingfang could adapt while attacking, and gradually encroach on the territory of Tibet.

And at that time, what if Yazhou's side becomes a feint?

The biggest advantage of this plan is that both sides can feint and become the main force, and no matter how Songtsen Gampo responds, it is difficult to deal with both attacks at the same time.

If nothing else, he would definitely move the main force to the south, because that side was facing an attack of 170,000 troops, and Yazhou was only 40,000.

To be honest, Li Yuanji also sympathized with Songtsen Gampo a little.

It's just a pity, who let this thing later pose a huge threat to Datang, if he doesn't completely crush him when his foothold is not stable, the ghost knows if there will be any moths in the future.

"The issue of officials and garrisons should come up with a plan as soon as possible, and in addition, we will consider whether it is possible to immigrate." Li Yuanji continued to say to Fang Xuanling.

As the first person in the cabinet, he naturally takes the lead in this matter, and he only needs to finalize the final word, there is no need to think about these in person, of course, if there are some suggestions, you can also mention them.

"No!" Fang Xuanling answered and didn't ask much.

This model is already familiar to him, and it works well.

Conquering a place does not mean permanently occupying it, sending officials is just a means of domination, and as time goes on, as the dynasty goes downhill, this dominance will naturally become weaker and weaker.

So what to do?

Officials, the army, as a strong guarantee, migrated a large number of people over, assimilated them, turned them into their own people, and after a hundred years, the problem was naturally solved.

It's a long-term plan, but it's the safest and safest way to do it.

Just like the current Tang Dynasty, I haven't heard of anyone wanting to make a certain place independent, because after thousands of years of development, everyone is the identity of the Han people, even if they want to rebel, it is to overthrow the imperial court and re-establish a dynasty, but somewhere is independent of each other, it is impossible, and no one will think so at all.

It's just that some things are easier said than done.

In recent years, Datang's development has been too fast, so fast that the existing officials are simply not enough, and not everyone is willing to go to those places.

If it weren't for your willingness, after a long time, there would naturally be problems.

"Sometimes it's easy to pull the egg when the step is big, and the step is smaller, not necessarily the fastest, Jiangshan Sheji looks at the long-term, not overnight." I don't know when, Li Yuan stood behind him, but Li Yuanji didn't notice it.

Li Yuan's words made Li Yuanji stunned for an instant, not because of anything else, it's easy to pull eggs when the steps are big? Is this special meow what the emperor should say? Something doesn't feel right?

Li Yuan didn't know about the government, but it didn't mean that he didn't know what was going on outside, but it was enough to see that he didn't want to fight this battle.

"Father, it's not that the sons don't want to slow down, the boat is parked there, if you don't speed up the pace, when you get to the boat, you will leave, and then you want to get on the boat, you can only go into the water and swim to catch up, or wait for the next ship, but the next boat, who knows where? Who knows, whether the ship is a friend or foe? "Li Yuan's Emperor Taishang is very qualified, and Li Yuanji doesn't mind talking to him about more political affairs, of course, the kind of picture in history where Li Yuan and Li Shimin call themselves me when they meet will not appear, and when talking to Li Yuan, Li Yuanji will always call himself a son.
