Chapter 47 Wu Zetian's Decision

This short knife was exchanged for the life of this general, and it was very cherished, and he gave it to Li Longji This is because Li Longji is regarded as a very important person. Li Longji responded with a sentence of "brother", which suddenly shortened the distance and made him feel close.

Not to mention, Li Longji is the king of Chu, Wu Zetian's own grandson, and the son of the emperor's heir, this identity is noble, even if this general gives Li Longji something precious, it is impossible to become a brother with Li Longji. However, Li Longji regarded him as a brother, and his tone was very sincere, not a hypocrisy, and he would not be able to make this general not excited.

Li Longji won the favor of these generals at once, and their favorability towards Li Longji rose and became close.

Li Longji patted the general on the shoulder, this general was full of red light, held his head high, puffed up his chest, and knelt on the low table.

"King Chu, this piece of jade ornament of mine was captured from the Turkic secret service, and I ask the King of Chu to accept it." Immediately, a general came up with a piece of jade ornament in his hand, his face full of hope, as if he was afraid that Li Longji would not accept it.

Li Longji took it and took a look, this is a piece of high-grade jade, it should be a beautiful jade from the Western Regions. There is a wolf head carved on it, and the carving is a little rough, not like the delicate and delicate style of the Central Plains, which should be a Turkic jade ornament will not be fake.

The Turks use the wolf as a totem, which is a unique symbol of the Turks, coupled with a unique rough style, it must be a Turkic jade ornament.

The secret service is a Turkic official, and it is not easy to capture it from the secret service, and this general also cherishes this jade ornament. It's just that Li Longji made his heart broken, so he dedicated this jade ornament to Li Longji.

"Good! I took it. Li Longji was full of joy and gave the general a hug.

"King Xie Chu." The general was so happy that his face was so red that he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

In this way, the generals gave gifts to Li Longji one after another, and they gave them all the booty captured on the battlefield, some of which were captured by the Turks, some by the Tubo, and some by the Khitan......

Everything they bought with their lives, it was very precious, and Li Longji accepted it all.

What Li Xian gave was a small golden knife, which was a Turkic Ye Hu's tableware. Ye Hu is an important minister of the Turks, and it is very rare to be able to capture Ye Hu's golden knife.

Ge Fushun gave a belt "set" by the Turks, which was decorated with gold and silver jewelry, and was full of jewels. It's just that its system is very different from that of the Central Plains, and at a glance you know that it is not a thing of Middle Earth.

This belt is worth a lot of money, and if it is sold on the market, some people will rush to buy it for 10,000 gold.

The Turkic "set" is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the value of the belt itself, this alone is worth a fortune.

Ge Fushun gave it to Li Longji, which made Li Longji very happy, and secretly said in his heart: "Such a precious physical should be treasured and passed on to future generations as a family heirloom, but Ge Fushun gave it to me, which is a great thing." ”

Such a precious thing is definitely a family heirloom, Ge Fushun gave it to Li Longji, that is, Li Longji is regarded as the most precious friend and brother, as long as Li Longji operates more, he can let Ge Fushun follow him.

Of course, not every general has spoils of war to give away, and some people are a little embarrassed that they did not bring the spoils of war, but Li Longji not only did not care, but on the contrary, he used good words and good words to make friends with him, which made the generals' good impression of Li Longji increase again.

In the end, Li Longji gave them a gift in return. These gifts were Li Longji's personal belongings, and they were of little value, but they were very commemorative, which made these generals very happy.

"You are busy with military affairs, it is rare to get together, take advantage of this good opportunity, we will get drunk and rest! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! Li Longji immediately decided to set up a banquet to entertain them.

"Get drunk! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! And the generals rejoiced.

It is so rare to be able to drink with Li Longji, no one will refuse.

After the banquet was set, Li Longji ordered people to call Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Xue Zhi, Su Fan, Pei Xiaoke, Li Kuan, and Zhang Xiaofei to accompany them.

Hearing that Chen Xuanli and them were born in a thousand horses, these generals were surprised for a while, and they all competed to make friends.

Qiancai, the most elite army in the empire, is famous, it is the "holy land" in the hearts of soldiers, and they are all proud to enter Qiancai. It is a supreme honor to be able to see a thousand horsemen, and it is impossible for them not to compete for it.

There is not much difference between getting married to Chen Xuanli and making friends with Li Longji, which is a great thing, and Li Longji is particularly supportive.

This feast was celebrated.

Li Longji secretly said in his heart: "Although there is still a long way to go before they follow me, this is a good start. As long as I make another military achievement and increase my reputation, I will be able to make them follow me. With their following, I have a lot of influence in the army, and I can mobilize an army of 100,000 at any time. At that time, even Wu Zetian will be afraid of me. Hmph, who dares to compete with me for the crown prince? ”

Luoyang, Shangyang Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Wu Zetian wore a crown on his head, dressed in imperial robes, and sat on the throne with great dignity.

Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, Princess Taiping, Li Dan, and Wu Chengsi were kneeling on the low table, discussing military affairs with Wu Zetian.

"Fortunately, Saburo found out the news of the collusion between the Turks and the Great Food, otherwise, I would still be kept in the dark." Wu Zetian first praised Li Longji, and then said: "Judging from the current situation, there will be a battle between the Celestial Empire and the Great Food sooner or later!" In order for the Celestial Empire to have a better chance of victory in the upcoming battle, it is necessary to deal with the Turks first. ”

Wu Zetian is worthy of being an outstanding politician in Chinese history, and he has seen that war will inevitably break out between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, which is very remarkable.

Since its rise, the Arab Empire has been committed to eastward expansion. Yusuf, in particular, was even more ambitious and wanted to conquer China, and he openly told his two generals, Gu Taibai and Muhammad, that "whoever sets foot on Chinese soil first will be the governor of China."

The conquest of China has always been a long-cherished wish of the Arab Empire.

And the Tang Dynasty was committed to westward expansion. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it first destroyed the Turks in the north, and then used troops against Goryeo, conquering the desert and Liaodong, and there was no room for development in the east and north. As for the northwest, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the Tang Dynasty had the intention to conquer the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but it was too difficult and had to give up.

The only direction in which troops can be used, and the only direction that can be explored, is the West.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty will definitely move westward.

The Arab Empire was going to go east, and the Tang Dynasty was going to go west, and the two countries would inevitably meet in Central Asia, and a big war would inevitably break out.

The war between the two countries will officially begin in ten years, that is, the Li Longji dynasty, and Wu Zetian can realize this now, and it cannot be overpraised.

Of course, in order to fight the Arab Empire, it is necessary to take out the Turks and make the north peaceful. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would be held back by the Turks, and it would be difficult to mobilize heavy troops to advance westward, and it would be disadvantageous to compete with the Arab Empire in Central Asia.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Di Renjie was convinced of Wu Zetian.

"Let's talk about it, there are some very difficult problems." Wu Zetian asked.

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy the Turks in one battle, you need a lot of troops, at least 400,000." Di Renjie was the first to speak, and said, "Most of these troops are mobilized from all over the country, and because of their different positions, the time required is also different. In particular, the army defending Tibet in the northwest could not be mobilized until Song Jing negotiated peace with Tibet, and it took a longer time. Moreover, it is necessary to recruit and train, which takes a lot of time. The minister implored His Majesty not to urge Wang Xiaojie, and when to use troops, it is appropriate for Wang Xiaojie to decide. ”

With such a big war, everyone has to worry, Wu Zetian may be anxious, and he can't afford to wait, so he issued an order to urge Wang Xiaojie to march, which may cause unnecessary losses.

In history, there are many because of the emperor's strict decree and forcing the generals to fight at an inopportune time, and the guide was defeated.

Although Wu Zetian is good, it is difficult to guarantee that she is not in a hurry, Di Renjie's reminder is very necessary.

"Hmm." Wu Zetian nodded and said appreciatively: "What the elder said is extremely reasonable. If I am in a hurry, you have to remind me in time. ”

Wu Zetian is Wu Zetian, although she has such and such shortcomings, she is never confused in major matters, and she is very broad-minded. If it were a different emperor, she would probably be displeased, but she could accept it gladly, which is very rare.

"Your Majesty is as broad-minded as the sea, and I admire you!" Di Renjie was convinced.

"Anything else?" Wu Zetian asked.

"Your Majesty, in such a big war, not only do you need a lot of troops, but even the money and food are too much." Zhang Cambodia raised his eyebrows and said: "Winter is approaching, the weather is about to turn cold, the roads are difficult, and millions of people are difficult to transport grain. ”

Wu Zetian waved his right hand and said magnificently: "Sue the people, just say my will, this grain transportation is not considered conscription, but military merit." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Winter is coming, and the difficulty of transporting grain and grass in the wind and snow can be imagined. If there is no sweetness, it is difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of the people, and it is different with military merit.

The Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous in martial arts, and the rewards for military merits were very rich. Moreover, the Tang people are proud of their military exploits. If grain transportation is really regarded as a military feat, it will arouse the enthusiasm of the people, and it will not be a problem to transport grain in the wind and snow.

Wu Zetian's hand is very good, and everyone can't accept it.

"His Majesty, the recital of King Liang." At this moment, I saw Jia Ming coming quickly and handing over Wu Sansi's recital.

"Think twice? What did he do? Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, took Wu Sansi's recital, and browsed it.

"Hmm." Wu Zetian's eyebrows raised, a little surprised.

"Bang!" After reading it, Wu Zetian slammed Wu Sansi's recital on the short case, his eyes were shining and murderous.

"Your Majesty, why are you angry?" Di Renjie asked hurriedly.

"Look." Wu Zetian handed Wu Sansi's recital to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie opened it and took a look, his hand trembled, and the music almost fell to the ground. After browsing, the cold sweat on Di Renjie's forehead flowed out, and he hurriedly said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, Wang Xiaojie is loyal and will never do anything to communicate with the Turks. ”

"Wang Xiaojieli is Turkic, where to start?" Li Dan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, his face full of shock.

"King Liang sued Wang Xiaojie for inviting the people to buy the hearts of the people, and he was Turkic, intending to restore Li Tang Jiangshan." Di Renjie's cold sweat was even more.

"This ......" The cold sweat on everyone's foreheads flowed, and their eyes fell on Wu Zetian.

Restore fù Li Tang Jiangshan, that is the most taboo thing for Wu Zetian, how will she deal with it?

Everyone secretly pinched a cold sweat for Wang Xiaojie.
