"Pharmacist, what's your opinion?" Li Shimin stood there and thought for a long time, his eyes left the sand table, and he looked at Li Jing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Jing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and asked Bai Qi: "Fengqu, how long will it take for the situation where my Tang Dynasty is at war with the Arab Empire that you are talking about?" You know, there is a powerful Persia in between, so there should be a long time to maneuver here, right? ”

White arched his hand in admiration and said, "You're right! Then he replied to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of time left for us in the Tang Dynasty, and the minister feels that even if he fights with the Arab Empire, he may not be ready to fight so soon!" ”

"However, we shouldn't just watch each other grow, after all, their people have already infiltrated." The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes, looking very unhappy and wary of Chang'an being infiltrated by the enemy.

"We can send someone to mess with them, too!" White pointed to the three major empires of Rome, Persia and Arabia on the sand table, and said while sorting out his thoughts: "The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention that there are now three tigers over there." Now that Rome's Constantinople has begun to loosen and Persia is politically unstable, the Arab Empire has embarked on a great conquest on the peninsula. Rome is far away in Europe, and generally has no close ******** with our Tang Dynasty. And whether it is Arabia or Persia, in fact, it is not friendly to our Datang, in this case, why can't we find a way to provoke a war between them in advance, you know, war requires national strength. ”

While explaining the concept of ******** to the crowd, White continued: "What is the war about? Human, material and financial resources are the overall strength of the country! The two countries fought each other, wounding 1,000 enemies and 800 themselves. When Arabia went on a killing spree on the peninsula and looked to the east without flawlessness, it was the time to provoke Persia to wage war against it. Let these two countries, even Rome, be dragged into the water, let them bite the bones of dogs, and our Datang will use this time to develop well. By the time they had time to raise their heads and look at the East, we Datang would be fully prepared at that time. At that time, whether they fight or not, it may not be their turn to speak! ”

White's idea is very simple, development is the last word, as long as the fist is hard, no matter how big the wind and waves outside are, it can't stop the ship of Datang from moving forward. All conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in the face of strength, and the so-called one force will drop ten times, which is the truth.

Since the idea is to seep sand in the development of the Arab Empire, then the next specific thing, the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty have more methods. Infiltration, provocation, bribery, threats, intimidation and other means, both bright and dark, how to implement, how to implement the detailed rules, this group of old foxes said that it is called white chess to wipe sweat!

Here they are talking more and more enjoyably, and the sweat on White's forehead is getting more and more.

"Well, uncles and uncles, Arabia is too far away from us, should we focus on Persia first? The strength of Persia should not be underestimated, and if we provoked Persia to target the Arabs, wouldn't our purpose be half the success indirectly? White said cautiously.

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and asked the most important question: "Then who should be sent?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Cloud Breaker!" Li Shimin clapped the board on it, and he folded his hand and asked Bai Qi: "Boy, I believe you have made the corresponding arrangements, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise! The minister did make a deployment some time ago. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin already had an idea, after everyone discussed the specific details and measures in the main hall, they began to leave, leaving behind Bai Qi, Li Jing, eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin asked Bai Qi solemnly: "Boy, do I want to know exactly that the situation is really as grim as you say?" ”

White thought about it sideways, and if he remembered correctly, then in another four to five years, the Arab Empire would launch a large-scale annihilation attack on both the Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire of Persia. Known as the "Sword of Allah", Willow would cross the Syrian desert, annihilate the Roman army, occupy Damascus, and then capture Jerusalem and include Syria in his empire. Then, the Arab Empire took advantage of the general momentum of victory, occupied Iraq, took the cities of the Persian Sassanid Empire, and finally completely defeated the Persian Sassanid army in the Battle of Qadisiyah, and conquered the Persians, who had more than 4,000 years of civilization, under the sword.

"According to a conjecture that my father once told me, he believed that if the three major Western empires continued to develop according to the status quo, the Arab empire would conquer the Roman Empire and the Persian Sassanid Empire within twenty or thirty years, and even unify the entire region!" White draws a very large circle on the west side of the sandboard.

"Mencius once said, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Even if there is no war in these decades, I cannot leave this danger to my children and grandchildren! Li Shimin held his hands and said, "You all tell me what to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, development is the last word!" Bai Qi stood up and threw out such a point: "As long as the domestic economy goes up, people have money, the army has money to replace new equipment, Datang's fist is hard, everything is easy to talk about!" ”

"Development is the last word." Li Shimin pondered this sentence and praised the word "good".

The eldest grandson over there, Wuji, also came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the statement of the Meridian Marquis is very reasonable. Since there is still a long time before this war comes, we can give priority to developing our economy, and then send our subordinates to the Persian side to carry out activities during this period, interfere with the development of these three empires, make them tired of the war, and buy more time for our Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Shimin asked Li Jing: "Pharmacist, what do you think?" ”

Li Jing said slowly: "The minister also thinks that what Eldest Sun Shangshu said is reasonable. ”

Li Shimin paced in the main hall, and after a long while, he stopped, looked at Bai Qi and said, "Boy, you have always wanted me to open the two departments of the Military Exercise Section and the Military Staff Section, and this time you have agreed to it!" You write a copy of the specific contents of these two departments to me, and if it's okay, it will be established immediately after the year! Pharmacist, you're watching this kid from the side, don't let him come nonsense! ”

Bai Qi was both excited and depressed, and when he saw Li Jing looking at himself next to him and laughing, he muttered, do you seem to be the kind of person who is messing around!

"Wuji, Xuanling, you are responsible for the promotion of potato planting in the surrounding areas of Chang'an and Luoyang next year." Li Shimin walked out of the main hall, looked at the dark sky outside, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why, I am starting to be a little excited about the Arab Empire that I have never met!" ”

Bai Qi looked at the tall back in front of him, and he was unconsciously full of pride. Come, mighty Arab Empire, now that you have touched the dragon's whiskers of the dragon, prepare to accept the dragon's wrath!
