"Your Majesty, do you think that my Datang is very strong and will be able to stop the Turks?" Li Junxian asked with a smile.

"Yes, my Datang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, why can't I stop it?" Li Shimin said casually.

Li Junxian suddenly picked up a few chess pieces and said, "These chess pieces represent the 300,000 troops of my Tang Dynasty, and each chess piece is 100,000." Our Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and the territory of the Quartet is stable at least 200,000. And this is almost impossible to use 100,000 troops, and even if they want to use it, it is very difficult to mobilize it in a short time. ”

Li Junxian first threw the two chess pieces, indicating that the 200,000 troops were temporarily powerless.

"That's 100,000, and we're not vegetarians!" Li Shimin still asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, how many of these 100,000 troops can we use? Once the Turks attack, we will inevitably need 50,000 troops to maintain order, otherwise the world will be in chaos. These people, who are born out of war, need the army to suppress them, and if there is no army to suppress them, I am afraid that they will turn against us. The Turks will not fail to see this, after all, they are also experts in warfare! Therefore, we can only have about 50,000 real mobile troops. ”

Li Shimin was a little nervous, and the situation was no longer under his control. Li Shimin is also a famous general, of course he knows that what Li Junxian said is true. If Li Shimin encounters such a situation, he will also find a way to take the opportunity to get a vote.

"The Turks came from afar, and they didn't have to worry about what kind of jars and jars they had, and they could fight at will. And we can't, we have to be careful that these wars don't destroy our homes. Under the trade-off, the Turkic people's combat effectiveness skyrocketed, and their numbers could be very large. The Turks could have sent an army of 200,000 men over without any scruples. However, our 50,000-strong army is being constrained everywhere, so our combat effectiveness has dropped sharply. ”

Beads of sweat appeared in Li Shimin's head, and he now found that his Datang was not so stable! The Turks can come over without any scruples, but this is the Tang Dynasty, and he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he can't ignore his own Tang Dynasty! If it is ruined by war, it is your own loss. Therefore, Li Shimin will not let the army have a big war within the territory of his own country.

"However, the Turks may not come! The Turks have been doing well recently, there are no natural disasters, and there should be no thoughts of entering the army. ”

Li Shimin still doesn't think that the Turks will invade on a large scale, because the Turks have no reason! The invasion of nomads is all for the sake of living, and if it is not for the shortage of living materials, they will not invade the farming people on a large scale. It's not easy to mobilize an army, and if a nomad wants to move on a large scale to get something they don't need, it's not something anyone wants to do. To exchange the already insufficient population for excess products is a loss no matter how you look at it! The Turks are now in good condition, and there is no need for a large-scale invasion.

Li Junxian shook his head and said, "The Turks will inevitably invade, because he wants to prevent my Tang Dynasty from dominating the world." ”

"My Datang dominates the world, what does it matter to him?" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, the stakes are great. Your Majesty is also a person who is familiar with history, and you should know that there are many fights between my farming people and nomads, and it seems that my farming people are at a disadvantage. ”

"Yes! My farming nation is at a disadvantage, and this has been the case in all dynasties. Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

Li Junxian retorted very resolutely: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The struggle between our farming people and the nomadic people is actually our farming people who have the upper hand. The so-called disadvantage was just a time when I urgently needed to recuperate at the end of the civil strife in China. Every time the competition is over, and the new Son of Heaven unifies the world, he must recuperate and recuperate against the country that has been in turmoil for a long time. And after those dynasties recuperate, most of them would go on a northern expedition to attack the nomads. And the end of these nomads, most of them is complete extinction. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu, and Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty shouted out the bold words that if you commit a strong man, you will be punished even if you are far away. And even Cao Ying, who was in the period of civil strife at the end of the Han Dynasty, perished Wuhuan. Therefore, the so-called nomadic people are strong after the end of the civil strife in China. At that time, it was me who was too weak, not that they were too strong. ”

"And as long as I recuperate for a few years to decades, then I can beat those nomads like my grandson. However, the only pity is that we cannot destroy them, we can only let them grow in waves. Your Majesty, I mean that as long as there are no problems within my Huaxia, the nomads will always be clowns. Li Junxian still sighed and said.

"So what's the problem? Our Datang is about to be reunified, under my rule, there will be no problems in Huaxia, what are you afraid of? Li Shimin also said confidently.

"Your Majesty, there is a famous saying that there are no conditions to create conditions. We in Huaxia will not have any problems under the rule of His Majesty, I am afraid that in a few years we will be able to beat the Turks like Sun Tzu. But the Turks are not stupid, they will not fail to see this. When the Turks were in turmoil before me, they constantly provoked civil strife among our Chinese princes, so that we could not unify China. And now, my Huaxia is about to be reunified, and their end is not far away, do you think they will be willing? ”

"So what are they going to do?" Li Shimin also asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this method is very easy to solve, as long as you continue to incite civil strife in my Huaxia. Now the whole world is tied to Your Majesty, if there is any accident with Your Majesty, then those guys in the world who have evil intentions will rise up again to chase the deer. And this method is to take advantage of the current weakness of the Tang Dynasty to go straight to the Middle Palace in one fell swoop and capture Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, so that my Huaxia will fall into chaos again. ”

Even if Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, he will inevitably break out in a cold sweat. Li Junxian is right, if Huaxia can have decades of cultivation and recuperation, it will be the end of the nomadic people. And now the world has just stabilized, but there are still many heroes who want to compete in the world. The people have not really returned to Li Tang. If Li Tang can sit on the throne for decades, then the people of the world will also have a sense of belonging to Li Tang. But now that it has just been founded, the people have no sense of belonging, and once something goes wrong with Li Tang's royal family, chaos in the world is also possible.

The Turks probably saw this opportunity, so they took advantage of the current attack on the Tang Dynasty, as long as they killed Li Shimin and them, then I am afraid that they would be able to make China civil strife again. Now is the best opportunity, if we attack again in ten or twenty years, not to mention whether we can break the capital Chang'an, but if the emperor dies, it will also cause the common hatred of the people of the world, and it will not be divided. When the time comes, everyone will first avenge the emperor, rather than competing for their own interests, because at that time, the military and civilians in the world have already developed a sense of belonging.

Therefore, in line with the strategic idea of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, this time is the time when the cost-effectiveness ratio is the highest, and of course you can't miss it. The Turks had to invade, otherwise there would be no chance later.
