"Your Majesty, will this plan work or not?" Chen Xuanli asked a little eagerly, not allowing Li Longji to speak, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, although this plan is not a big success, it is a danger in the danger, but the loss to Datang is not big, you might as well give it a try." ”

Li Changguo is one of the twin stars of the Long Wujun, and if this plan is adopted, he will also feel honored and will not stop speaking for Li Changguo.

Li Longji did not make a decision immediately, but said in a deep voice: "Li Changguo, if this plan fails, what should I do? ”

"Your Majesty, if it fails, Tubo will still be the Tang Dynasty, it's just the difference between early and late." When Li Changguo was planning this, he had already thought through these things.

"Or Datang's?" This was a bit surprising, Li Longji, Li Linfu, Li Heng, and Chen Xuanli were all surprised, staring at Li Changguo, waiting for him to explain.

Li Changguo did not disappoint them, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's calculations, losing Dafeichuan is tantamount to the sky falling for Tubo, and Tubo will definitely raise a large army to come to Dafeichuan for revenge, in a vain attempt to defeat our army and recapture Dafeichuan." ”

"That's for sure!" The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.

"The importance of Dafeichuan to Tubo is like the importance of the Central Plains to Huaxia, if Dafeichuan is lost, the bearded man will not be reconciled, and he will definitely conquer in person." Li Longji said while thinking about it, his voice suddenly turned high, and he asked, "Li Changguo, are you planning to take advantage of this battle and capture the bearded man alive?" ”

If he can capture De Zuzan alive, it can be called a grand event, Li Longji's eyes are shining, extremely bright, like the fierce words above the nine heavens.

However, his words changed sharply and said, "However, this is too difficult! The hope of success is too small, even smaller than what you are planning right now. ”

The personal expedition to Dafeichuan gave the Tang army a good opportunity to capture him alive, but it was not a big success. If he wants to escape, no one can help him.

Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, Jieli Khan fled, and the Tang army pursued him for four months before capturing him alive.

"If the bearded man is captured alive, Tubo will be nine out of ten." Li Longji clenched his fists, and the sound of bone joints rubbing became loud.

"Your Majesty is wise." Li Changguo praised the surname of etiquette, changed his words, and said: "The minister's plan is not like this, the minister's plan is to have a big battle with Tubo in Dafeichuan and annihilate the Tubo army as much as possible." The more annihilated they were, the more contradictions and accusations continued to be made within Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty seized the opportunity to make a divisive plan to divide Tibet......

"Ahh I see! Li Longji is a very smart person, Li Changguo's words were only halfway through, he understood, and said with a smile: "Datang is like the previous dynasty to deal with the Turks, to help the weak and suppress the strong, whoever is weak will help whoever is strong, and whoever is strong Tang will fight whom, so that no one in Tubo can help anyone, and Datang will come again to find an opportunity to cross Jishi Mountain." ”

"At that time, even if the Tang Dynasty does not want to cross the Jishi Mountain, there will be Tubo who will come to Chang'an to ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops to cross the Jishi Mountain, just as the Turks asked the previous dynasty to send troops to Mobei." Chen Xuanli also understood, his voice was very high, he snatched Li Longji's words, and said: "At that time, as long as you pass Jishi Mountain, everything will be decided by the Tang Dynasty, and you will not dare to save if you want to destroy Tubo!" ”

"Brilliant plan! Coup! Li Linfu gave a rare high-five, and said: "The former dynasty Changsun Sheng did this trick and split the Turks, General Li is the eldest Sun Sheng of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Changsun Sheng is the eldest grandson empress, the eldest grandson Wuji's father, and the planner of Turkic separatism, although his name is not as loud as his children, however, his contribution to Dahua is not at all less than that of his children.

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, but they are not accurate!" Li Longji shook his head and said, "This should be Li Changguo's plan?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" This time, Li Changguo sincerely praised Li Longji for his ability, and he was thorough at all.

"According to your plan, if the best strategy does not work and the crossing of Jishi Mountain fails, the Tang Dynasty will use the next strategy to first annihilate the Tubo army, promote the division of Tubo, and then find an opportunity to cross Jishi Mountain and pacify Tubo." Li Longji summed up Li Changguo's plan and said to Li Heng: "Prince, do you remember?" ”

If you can't cross Jishi Mountain in the coming year, and you can only fight with Tubo in Dafeichuan, it will take decades of effort to destroy Tubo, and Li Heng, the crown prince, must remember this plan.

"Father, please rest assured, the son remembers it." Lee Hyung-dae is excited.

He had to be convinced, Li Changguo's plan was very reasonable, Tubo must be from the Tang Dynasty, just sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, then this is the best policy...... Chen Xuanli was very anxious.

"Huh!" Li Longji laughed and said: "Although Tubo is the Tang Dynasty sooner or later, it is only early and late, but the sooner the Tang Dynasty wins, the better." The success of the best policy is really not high, not even one percent, but once it succeeds, Tubo will be the Tang Dynasty. Even if it fails, Datang has nothing to lose, so why don't I give it a try? ”

"That's it!" Li Longji stood up, his face was radiant, he swallowed Heyue, and said word by word.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The crowd sang in unison.

"Whew!"

Li Changguo's hanging heart finally relaxed, but he was even more excited.

The land of Tibet is mainly Qinghai and Tibetan provinces, and this land of Qin Emperor Han Wu is also helpless, until Kublai Khan was incorporated into the territory. If it was completed in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, it would have been incorporated into the territory hundreds of years in advance, and it would have been a great achievement!

And Li Changguo is still the mastermind of this miraculous feat, who can not be excited?

Not only Li Changguo was excited, but even Li Longji was also excited, standing up and pacing back and forth, shaking his fists while pacing.

Chen Xuanli, Li Linfu, and Prince Li Heng glanced at each other, and no one hid the excitement in the other party's eyes.

It is Li Linfu, who has always been known for his joy and anger, and he is also happy at this time, and he does not hide it at all.

"Emperor Qin and Han Wu can't do anything about this land, if I take it, will my merits surpass that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu?" What emperor didn't want to make a career? There are not many people who are as strong as Li Longji, but they are dedicated to the pursuit of merit, if they can surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, it is a supreme thing, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, while holding his fingers and calculating carefully: "At the beginning of my accession to the throne, the Tang Dynasty accumulated disadvantages like a mountain, internal restlessness, and external troubles. I worked hard to govern the country, reorganized the army and fought through the military, and finally the court was cleared, and the border was peaceful. Later Turkic, Khitan, Xi, Tuyuhun remnants, Uighurs...... Perished one after another. So far, only Tibet and the Great Food remain. After harvesting Tibet in the spring, I can compete with the Great Food in the Western Regions! ”

Although the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline because of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji had a mixed reputation, but it could not hide his greatness.

These words were so inspiring, Chen Xuanli took a step forward and asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to gallop to Tibet, and please ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

"You?" Chen Xuanli's move, Li Longji greatly appreciated, but said in a mocking tone: "Just you? Look at you, your beard is as white as snowflakes, and you can still gallop on the field? You want to steal credit, right? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister will never have such a heart!" Chen Xuanli became anxious when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "As long as Your Majesty allows it, the old minister will not be a general, but an old pawn!" It's enough to be able to gallop in Tibet! ”

"That's it! Come on! Li Longji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't leave your old bones outside, let's guard the palace for me." ”

"Hey!" Chen Xuanli sighed and muttered, "People say how good General Long Wu is, but it is a cage for suffocating people. ”

Li Longji glanced at him, but he didn't accuse, beckoned, and said, "Sit down!" This matter is too important, and we must discuss it carefully and scrutinize it more so that we cannot make the slightest mistake. ”

Li Changguo and the others sat down, and Li Longji continued: "Li Changguo has two strategies, the success of the upper policy is not big, and the success of the lower policy is large, but it takes too long. I think that the war in the coming year should be based on the following policy and implement the best policy, what do you think? ”

He is a man who is well versed in the way of soldiers, this is admirable, who can have any objections?

"Li Changguo, you say, if you fight with Tubo in Dafeichuan next year, how many troops will be needed?" Li Longji stared at Li Changguo, his eyes wide open, not for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others consulted and unanimously agreed that if they only defeated the Tibetan army, there was no need to increase the troops. If you want to annihilate the Tibetan army in one fell swoop, you need at least 300,000. Li Changguo said in a deep voice.

"Three hundred thousand?" The crown prince Li Heng was a little surprised.

"That's a lot." Li Longji groaned slightly, and said: "The art of war has a cloud, 'ten rules to encircle', if you want to encircle the enemy, you need ten times the number of troops. At the time of Songtsen Gampo, the whole country had an army of 400,000, and now, it can mobilize an army of 600,000. Sun Boru's 100,000 have been annihilated, and there are still 500,000. If you want to completely annihilate these 500,000, you need 5 million according to the art of war, which is obviously impossible. If you want to completely annihilate the Tibetan army, you must cut off all the retreat routes, and you must also prevent the Tibetan from escaping, and 300,000 is not enough. ”

This algorithm is very pertinent, Li Changguo nodded secretly, Li Longji is worthy of being proficient in the art of war.

"However, the whole country of the Tang Dynasty is only 550,000 people, such a large territory needs to be garrisoned, the maximum I can transfer to you is 300,000, and you can annihilate the Tubo army in one fell swoop?" Li Longji's eyes widened, staring at Li Changguo, and asked loudly.

The more the Tibetan army is annihilated, the greater the possibility of separating the success of the Tibetan army, and the stake is too great, although Li Longji has experienced many storms and waves in his life, it is inevitable that there will be a few of them.

Li Linfu, Chen Xuanli, and Li Heng stared at Li Changguo.

"Yes!" Li Changguo nodded heavily.

"That's good!" Li Longji was relieved and said: "This decision can be completed by increasing the number of 200,000 troops." So, when do you choose to start with this best policy? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed and unanimously agreed that it is most suitable to come before the spring snow." Li Changguo stated his reasons: "The reason why it was chosen before the snow melted was because the Tubo army was not yet launched, and he would never have thought that the Tang Dynasty would make a move at that time, and he could take it by surprise and increase the success." The second reason is that at that time, the soldiers of the whole country of Tubo were gathered together, which was convenient for the Tang Dynasty to be completely annihilated. ”

"Good plan!" Li Longji slammed his hands together and praised loudly: "As long as you succeed, the 300,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty can cross the Jishi Mountain in one fell swoop and rush towards Luo, and they will definitely be caught off guard by the beard!" ”

"The soldiers of the whole country in Tibet were annihilated in one fell swoop, and there will be no more troubles in Tibet!" Li Linfu's voice was very high, and he asked: "Your Majesty, please take care of the important matter!" There is a weight but there is a lack of it, please come and see you! ”

If this battle is successful, it will be a miracle, Li Linfu will not be able to leave Chang'an, and his military merits will not have anything to do with him, but he can get this logistics merit.

"Good!" Li Longji readily agreed, and said: "The matter of baggage belongs to the prime minister!" The matter of the best policy was handled by Li Changguo and assisted by the prince. Li Changguo, you remember, I will give you what you need, and if someone gets in the way, you will report it to me! ”
