Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty sat on the dragon chair and said to Zhang Hu with a deep face: "You mean to say that Li Jing is worried that he is facing the end of the birds, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit died, and the lackey cooked's fate before lying about the military situation? ”

Zhang Hu replied, "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. My handsome family is afraid of this strategy. ”

"Strategy?" The Tang Emperor Li Shimin was puzzled: "It turned out to be a strategy, he Li Jing lied to Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan to lead an army of 200,000 to attack the Tang Dynasty, this should be just part of his strategy." What else does he Li Jing have planned, you can tell it. ”

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, he knew that he had leaked his mouth, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Please believe that Your Majesty is completely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he never thought of rebellion, everything he did was for self-preservation and to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin smiled coldly and said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, he Li Jing also wants to make a name for himself and spread history." You can tell me, Li Jing lied that after Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan led an army of 200,000 to invade the Tang Dynasty, what was he going to do, right? I also want to know what other unthinkable things my commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the general of the Tang Auxiliary State want to do? ”

Zhang Hu's voice lowered, and he said honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, the marshal lied about the military situation of the 200,000 army led by Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan to invade the Tang Dynasty, just to avoid facing a tragic fate after returning to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the marshal knows that if His Majesty knows about Xue Yantuo's invasion of the Tang Dynasty, he will inevitably order the marshal to continue to lead the Northern Expedition and attack Xue Yantuo's army." After the extermination of Xue Yantuo's department, the marshal will continue to lie to our western Tang Dynasty big country Tuyuhun invaded the Tang Dynasty, and then His Majesty will inevitably let the marshal lead the army to attack Tuyuhun, followed by the Western Regions countries, Persia, and Dashi. Until the conquest of all known lands for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhang Hu's voice was not loud, but in the ears of everyone in the Taiji Palace, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky. Everyone didn't expect that Li Jing would have such a plan to conquer all known lands, what a grand cause, from ancient times to the present, it is also an unprecedented event in Heng (heng), thinking about it makes people feel enthusiastic. If the thing is done, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing, the commander of the army, including these important ministers, will all be famous in the annals of history, and they will be remembered for eternity, this is something that even the famous Qin Emperor and Han Wu in the annals of history wanted to do but did not do.

And Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, fell into deep thought. Li Jing's thoughts reminded Li Xuan of a very perverted, very shameless, and very disgusting country in later generations - Japan, some people once wondered why during World War II, Japan could be said to be invincible, invincible, and victorious on the battlefield, but why did it lose in the end? And the defeat was so bad? It's a sudden return to a few decades ago. Later, someone studied and analyzed. Japan's defeat was absolutely inevitable, and although he won one victory after another on the battlefield, defeat must have been his final outcome. Even without the support of the United States, on the battlefield in China. Japan is also doomed. Because the Japanese government at that time was a government that was almost completely controlled by the military, and they mobilized the power of the whole country to wage war. It's understandable to win on the battlefield, but wars aren't fought exactly what the battlefield looks like. Generals, soldiers, weapons, etc., the war is still fought in a country's comprehensive national strength, a country's politics, economy, and other aspects. The war had just begun, and China had not eased up for a while, but two years after the war began, many people in China understood that Japan would never be able to conquer China, and Japan was doomed to defeat.

It's like a foreign journalist interviewing a Chinese general at that time.

The reporter asked: "Your Excellency, what do you think will be the final outcome of the Sino-Japanese War?" ”

The general said with great confidence: "The final outcome will definitely be China's victory, while Japan's inevitable defeat." ”

The reporter continued: "How can you have such a judgment? ”

The general replied: "The war is not only fought militarily, but also fought with comprehensive national strength, although China is weak, but the land is vast and the population is large, while Japan is just the opposite, its population, land is very scarce, more importantly, the Japanese government is controlled by a group of soldiers eager for quick success, they only have tactical operations for each war, and there is no long-term strategy, as long as the Chinese people can persist in the war of resistance, Japan's domestic economy and society will inevitably collapse completely, which will then lead to a complete military defeat of Japan, Then victory will inevitably belong to China. ”

The reporter asked: "Then won't the general be ready for victory then?" Your Excellency, I wonder how you will celebrate? ”

The general sighed and said, "Maybe I will be killed by then, or maybe the entire Chinese army will be exhausted, but as long as I, the Chinese, persist in the war of resistance, I still believe that victory will definitely belong to China." ”

Li Jing's current situation is like Japan in later generations, expanding its territory, destroying dozens of countries, and capturing and killing dozens of monarchs of various countries, which can definitely be regarded as a great feat, and it can also make the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Li Jing and other generals go down in history, but as a great monarch, he can't be hot in his head and agree with this idea, because this kind of thinking actually ignores the most important group, and this group is related to the rise and fall of the country, and this group is the people in China. Expanding the territory, destroying dozens of countries, and capturing and killing dozens of monarchs from various countries can certainly make Li Shimin and Li Jing famous, but the common people can't get any benefits, and they still need to send their sons who have worked hard to raise them to the battlefield, and send all the food they have earned through hard work to the battlefield. The more wars are fought, the more victories are won, the greater the pressure on the people at home, and when the time comes, the war will leave the children of the people on the battlefield and turn them into piles of bones; It will also squeeze every grain of grain that the people rely on to stockpile, so that the people are on the verge of starvation. Like this kind of war with only a false name, Li Xuan is very opposed to and resolutely resists. Otherwise, Datang will inevitably become a government completely kidnapped by soldiers, just like the Japanese government in later generations, and the people in the entire Datang country will be controlled and kidnapped by the entire army like Japan in World War II, and pay an extremely painful price for the military exploits and reputation of individual people.
