Chapter 486: Letting the Wind Blow

Talking about this with the family, several senior staff members thought about it similarly to Shi Lei, and they all felt that this Tuyuhun buckle would definitely not end simply. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info With the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's Mingjun mentality, such continuous provocations are completely unforgivable, and if Tuyuhun's arrogance is not completely extinguished, how can he be worthy of his name of "Heavenly Khan".

And there is another factor that will also prompt Li Shimin to make the decision to attack Tuyuhun in an all-round way. Because the current boss of Tuyuhun is still Fuyun Khan, this one did not invade the Central Plains during the Sui Dynasty, but in the end he was beaten back by the Sui Dynasty and became a lost dog.

As a result, now that it's my Tang Dynasty, this Huan Shi, who has started to stumble again, is shaking on Li Shimin's head, which is absolutely unbearable.

Li Shimin is determined to become a "emperor of the ages", and he wants the Tang Dynasty to surpass the Sui Dynasty in all aspects, so as to prove the historical inevitability of the Tang Dynasty replacing the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shimin, who feels that he has been slapped in the face, will definitely not let Tuyuhun have a good time.

Of course, this is not a simple battle of will, seeking justice for the people who have been bullied is the right thing to do, not to mention that there are huge interests involved.

The Turkic side has been laid down for a long time, and after so many years of digestion and absorption, the interests of the steppe have basically been settled. Datang now has this ability and strength, and it is indeed necessary to find a new foreign enemy to fight hard.

It can also be regarded as cultivating a new batch of brave and capable warriors for the Tang Dynasty, after all, the elite soldiers who fought in the world during the founding of the People's Republic of China, even including the generals, have already passed the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a bit of a strong man's twilight years.

It is time for Datang to cultivate more of their successors, so as to continue to ensure the strength of Datang and continue to consolidate the stability and unity within Datang. At the same time, by eliminating such a powerful foreign enemy, it will also further publicize the force of the Tang Dynasty to the outside world, so that the status of the heart of all nations will be more awe-inspiring.

And Tuyuhun is also a well-known horse grazing land, and the Qinghai skull, which they carefully cultivated, is also one of the few famous horse breeds in the world, and the Qinghai skull, which integrates the advantages of a variety of horse breeds, is also the most suitable for use as a war horse. Datang is obviously not satisfied, and can only obtain these high-quality war horses through trade at extremely high prices.

It is obviously more in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to knock down the whole place, let all the tribes of Tuyuhun become their own herdsmen, and let their land completely become their own horse breeding land.

And now they have taken the initiative to send the reasons for the war to the hands of the Tang monarchs and ministers, and they are sorry for their hearts if they don't fight.

It's just that how to fight, who to send to fight, and to what extent are things that need to be carefully considered. In addition, it is also necessary to look at the results of the battle in the early stage to judge the combat strength of the two sides, so as to better formulate a battle plan.

This can also be seen from the employment of people in the first battle, it is Duan Zhixuan, the old man who followed him when Li Tang started his business, but the troops given are not to the point of destroying the country, which is a relatively safe way to test the army.

Since everyone's opinions are very positive, this Tugu Hun fight must be fought, but why send Shi Lei and how to ensure that Shi Lei can catch up with this wave of battles is something that Shi Lei and they need to think about.

The last few senior staff members helped to figure it out, and it was simply the first thought to show their hearts.

Although everyone has speculated before, I think that Li Shimin is very likely to use Shi Lei, the first fierce general of the younger generation, since it is meant to train a new team for Datang, it would be too wasteful to let Shi Lei be the number one fierce general.

And choosing such a time to transfer Shi Lei back to his side should be a signal.

In addition, from the perspective of Shi Lei's side, Li Shimin always has to give Shi Lei more opportunities for meritorious service, which is more reasonable, Shi Lei has given a lot of benefits before, and Li Shimin has not given Shi Lei enough returns.

It's just that as the housekeeper uncle said, Li Shimin couldn't tell Shi Lei clearly, "You go to rub off on your military exploits, and when you come back, I will give you a promotion and a salary increase, so that you can reach the peak of your life." ”

Even if he really meant this, he had to be a little reserved and express it tactfully. But the real opportunity still depends on Shi Lei to fight for.

If you don't go to the war yourself, how does Li Shimin know if you want to go or not. Maybe you don't want to go to the front line because of the hardships, or you want to enjoy the happy life of your wife and children at home for a few more days.

He, Li Shimin, is not so unkind, his subordinates really have such needs, and he has to try his best to consider whether it is not, it is difficult to count on him, who is the emperor, to invite him Shi Lei to fight.

Datang has never lacked fierce generals, but it is rare to see someone as fierce as Shi Lei. But his importance is definitely not as good as Li Jing, a recognized god of war who can be used as a guarantee of victory, and it is not to the point where the emperor needs to go up to the pole to invite him.

Then it is very necessary for Shi Lei to show his determination to participate in the war through various channels, as well as his confidence that he will not be afraid of hardships and dangers and must win the battle.

But there is another concern here, what he went directly to Li Shimin to say is equivalent to making a military order, and he is likely to fall into a situation where he is only allowed to win but not lose, which is a bit passive.

Don't forget that he still has the notoriously cautious opponent of the eldest grandson Wuji, and there are also the Dou family who wish that he was unlucky, if he entered the station with such a posture, if there was really something wrong, and he was caught by these opponents who hated to put black arrows on him, his future would be really worrying.

Therefore, it is not very wise to say that this kind of direct determination is not very wise, and then it can only be achieved through a roundabout way, and ask someone to say something.

On the other hand, in order to really go to the battlefield so as not to be sluggish, and to further show his determination, he must also improve the quality of his subordinates.

After all, he is not the first time he participated in the great war to destroy the Turks, he is alone, at that time, he just needs to take care of himself, take the dozens of guards who have given him military merits, do his arrows, and fully show his personal bravery.

And now he is the captain of the palace, if he really participates in the war, most of them will also go with the Guanzhong soldiers under him, and he will not be in a state of fighting alone. The performance of his subordinates will also be an important aspect of measuring his own performance, so he can't let his subordinates drag him down.

Although he has only been in office for a short time, he will not take these into account when calculating his military exploits. Good performance is good, bad is bad, who cares why you are bad.

So in the end, the plan has been decided, Shi Lei during this period of time to promote himself at the same time, but also to do a good job in the training of his subordinates, and bring out a group of elite soldiers in the future, so as to really add glory to himself on the battlefield.
