Chapter 333 The God of War Wants to Go on the Expedition [Second Shift]
Li Yuanxing and Li Er both saw a point. That's the benefits.
The interests of the Seventh Family in Liaodong are too great, and the land they occupy during spring ploughing can casually throw down the seeds, and one person can manage more than 1,000 acres of land, and the future harvest is also huge.
What's more, from the trade of mountain goods and slaves, the profits are huge.
Therefore, the Seventh Family absolutely supports the cleanup of Goguryeo, and it is precisely because of their support that they need the stability of the Western Turks.
As for the rat-bitten military armor and rusty old weapons in the warehouse, that is a question of whether Li Jing is heartbroken, and Cui Junsu only cares about how much silver money he can get back for the household.
The Khitans must not have silver and copper coins, so they will exchange them for goods.
Their goods need to be exchanged for silver, and the process in between is hugely profitable.
"If you leave in the evening for a few days, no matter what the city is attacking, it will definitely be greatly damaged. After this king comes up with a plan, it's not too late to fight! Li Yuanxing signaled that the banquet could be held.
At the banquet, the Khitan Khan and the Khan had been whispering to Cui Junsu.
Li Yuanxing ate some and got up to go to the garden to breathe. When he was young, Wang Jishan also went to the garden with him.
"Elder Wang, take a pill first, how about we quarrel again today?" Li Yuanxing was sitting in the garden smoking, and this opening remark really scared Wang Jishan.
recalled that when it was for the grain tax, it really made Li Yuan almost angry.
This time, there will definitely be no quarrel with Li Yuanxing, and there is no need to quarrel.
"Your Highness wants to say that the Western Turks are visiting. The size of their personnel is also the size of the fleet. And those gifts that are prepared. Anyone with eyes in Datang knows that they must be planning to make peace. Long-distance and close attacks, not only our Datang will use it, but the Western Turks will also use it! ”
Wang Jishan went directly to the topic, and also saved Li Yuanxing a lot of tongue.
"The benefits of harmony are huge." Li Yuanxing said with a smile.
Wang Jishan also smiled: "It's just that people can't be shameless, especially the face of the Tang Dynasty, the face of the saint, and the face of His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”
It seems that it is normal to reverse what the two people said, but at this time, Wang Jishan is speaking for Li Yuanxing.
But. They are all people who understand. There is no need to go around in circles.
"What does Elder Wang think of the Western Turks?" Li Yuanxing also went straight to the point.
Wang Jishan sat next to Li Yuanxing, took out a small silver wine bottle from his pocket, and said while opening the wine bottle: "Tuyuhun, Huifu, Xue Yantuo, and Tufan all have more or less hatred with the Western Turks. Especially the tribes on the side of the Eastern Turks can be said to have enmity! ”
Li Yuanxing nodded. I thought that these were similar to the records in history.
"But that's it. But it's not a big problem. I have a caravan that has gone a little farther away. Someone came back with a message. It's a big cannibal, they're very powerful! ”
The Great Eclipse is the Arab Empire. A very powerful empire, with a larger land area than at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.
"According to Elder Wang's thoughts, you don't need a woman to form an alliance?" Li Yuanxing asked the key question.
Wang Jishan shook his head: "The old man thinks that it is most worry-free to use women, and you can form an alliance immediately." However, there is one interest between countries. The next thing is the art of negotiation, and finally agreeing on the matter of the cotton by the way is the great good. Otherwise, it is really the best policy to be with relatives! ”
"Hitting me in the face is also a slap!" Li Yuanxing smiled.
Wang Jishan also smiled: "What about Your Highness?" ”
"Three months, give me three months. Anyway, help me delay it for three months. ”
"Yes, but His Royal Highness also has to give the old man a promise, if he can't successfully form an alliance in three months, he must be reconciled. Your Highness must know that the caravan is going west, and the Western Turks are the only places to pass, and there are 5,000 miles to go. So the stability of the Western Turks is of great importance! ”
What Wang Jishan said was the truth, and if the trade was cut off at any time, then the treasury would be empty.
Seeing Li Yuanxing nodding, Wang Jishan continued: "Your Highness knows that my Wang family, that coal is burned red in the old man's opinion, it is very hot, and it is easy to burn people, or even burn to death." But the old man had to go next, this is His Royal Highness's conspiracy, the reason is very simple, the old man still has a large family, if the old man does not agree, those nephews and old men will not be able to face it! ”
Wang Jishan gave Li Yuanxing the first time.
This time it's about the helplessness of being a parent.
Li Yuanxing is also a parent, and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, at least the Liliang of the Tang Dynasty, is unable to just want to be happy.
That's enough at this point, they're all smart people.
"Elder Wang, I have a question for you. Do you dare to take back the wool of 10 million sheep and give them some weapons by the way? ”
Wang Jishan didn't answer immediately, and was also pondering this question.
"Well, the Western Turks are a grand strategy. There should be a very complete jihua, and the four departments of soldiers, households, workers, and rituals will pick some talented people to study it, and then let Tianyingge discuss it. ”
It seems that Wang Jishan can't make up his mind, after all, this matter is too complicated, and there are too many factors to consider.
When he was about to go back to the house, Wang Jishan said again: "Your Highness, the treasury will provide you with a maximum of 50,000 horses and half a year's grain and grass, which is the limit." So if Goguryeo spends a lot of money, His Highness should adjust it, or how about His Highness make up for that part himself? ”
"Okay, that's it."
Wang Jishan is not only the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also the current master of Tianying Pavilion, and his attitude can be regarded as representing Tianying Pavilion.
One by one, the guests left.
Li Jing had been sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, he didn't understand what Li Yuanxing was doing with him at night?
It is impossible to deal with the Western Turks, there is no suitable army, grain and grass, and fighters, in the words of the Tang Dynasty, the time, place, and people are not occupied, so it is better to fight in this way than to send them to death!
Li Yuanxing entered the house and stretched out his hand to close the door: "Wait for Brother Tan to come, let's talk first!" ”
"Let's talk about things that have nothing to do with him first!" Li Jingjun's title is not called in vain, he doesn't believe that Li Yuanxing will not be a little weird when he calls him at night, which is full of weirdness in itself.
Li Yuanxing sat in front of Li Jing: "Senior Brother Yao, Liaoyuan and Jian'an, which city is of greater strategic significance?" ”
"Jian'an, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is a natural fortress, and if you give a certain 10,000 people, you can block the 100,000 army of Goguryeo, and Goguryeo must have a famous general with 20,000 elites in hand. A certain 100,000 people, at least half of them must die before they can take this city, Gorou said that this city is important, is it? ”
Li Jing has too deep a deep understanding of Goryeo sentences, and when he mentions the name of a city, he even knows the terrain.
"I want to!" Li Yuanxing said very directly.
"I want it too!" Li Jing responded tepidly.
"The Khitan and the Yan Ya, the coalition army has more than 200,000 troops, and the elite is more than 100,000. Hou Junji has 30,000 and Chai Shao has 50,000, and they can call 30,000 elites together. I have 10,000 people in the four guards, and I have siege weapons, the only regret is that it is only enough to attack once. ”
The number Li Yuanxing talked about is confidence.
Li Jing was still expressionless, and slowly raised his hand: "Wulang promised three conditions, and so-and-so will give you this city!" ”
"Even if Senior Brother Yao mentions it, it's no problem for me to come to the front line in person!"
Li Jing shook his head with a smile: "The first condition, the four guards of Tiance can't move. They haven't really formed an army yet, but I'm going to pick some people to take with them and serve as the leading generals. Especially your guard's sword, and the Pisces with a small archery skill, and that bow! ”
"Yes, yes completely!" Li Yuanxing has no reason not to agree.
However, Li Yuanxing ignored one sentence, Li Jing said that he would take it away.
Next, Li Jing mentioned the second request: "Before the Turkic War, Goro's sand table was very clever. Can Jian'an City build another sand table for a certain person, and a sand table will top 30,000 Tang soldiers. ”
"I'm ready, just a little smaller!"
Sand table, Li Yuanxing has sorted out almost all the national sand tables that he wants to play. There are more than a dozen printed out, and you only need to go back to Qinwangzhuang to get them.
Li Jing stretched out his hand: "Zuihou has a request, Admiral Tiance's Mansion Tiger Fu, this time I want to fight in person!" ”
"No way!" Li Yuanxing immediately refused, just attacking a city and letting Li Jing personally fight, what is it.
Li Jing didn't give up: "Gorou gave a certain reason? ”
"I choose to let Su Dingfang go, or Hou Junji will be enough to take this city."
Li Jing smiled: "Only a certain person is the most suitable, it doesn't matter who leads the troops in the name." Did Gorou ever think about how long it would take to take the castle? ”
Li Yuanxing shook his head, not understanding what Li Jing meant.
"Spring ploughing, Datang is ploughing in spring. Goryeo was also ploughing in the spring, and this was the time when their forces were at their weakest, and within a month the Turkic Jian'an would encounter the least resistance, and if it was arranged well enough, a total of 50,000 troops would be enough. If the time of the attack is just right, Goguryeo also helped Datang plant some fields by the way! ”
Li Jing's explanation or non-explanation is meaningless.
From the time he said that no matter who led the troops in name, Li Yuanxing had already agreed.
To be ruthless, Li Jing is also a ruthless person. Just as no one would have thought that Li Yuanxing would send troops to the Turks as soon as the Tang Emperor ascended the throne, no one would have thought that Li Jing would personally lead the army and raid Goguryeo during the spring ploughing.
"Let's do it!" Li Yuanxing's words are equivalent to agreeing to Li Jing.
"His Royal Highness guards Chang'an, with His Royal Highness here, a certain expedition can be relieved!" Li Jing's words made Li Yuanxing understand, and the four guards of Tiance did not let him move, but also to let him come to guard Chang'an. Then, Li Jing may choose some elite ones among the twelve guards to fight.
Li Yuanxing took out the documents that were originally going to be handed over to Brother Hei Tan, Wei Chi Gong, and handed them to Li Jing. "Senior Brother Yao, take a look, will it affect your expedition?"
Li Jing looked at it and gave Li Yuanxing a thumbs up: "This matter, a certain person will be dispatched!" (To be continued......)
