Chapter 499: Candidates for Dispatch
Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty has adopted the national policy of recuperation, and there have been few large-scale battles in the past ten years. I also fought Goguryeo once, returned in vain, conquered Baekje once, destroyed the country, and beat the Japanese country by mistake, hey, accidentally destroyed again.
The Zhenguan Dynasty made too frequent expeditions against foreign countries, and the vitality of the people was greatly damaged, and Li Zhi, the son of heaven who wanted to surpass the first emperor with some achievements in war, was finally waiting for an opportunity to justifiably fight abroad, and the result was ...... There is no food.
The emperor started a business halfway through, and spent his budget halfway.
At this moment, the grievances in Li Zhi's heart can be imagined.
It's like meeting a girl who wants to take care of her whole life at the age when she is most powerless.
In the Taiji Palace, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, and Li Zhi has gradually understood the current situation.
The ministers were still arguing in the hall, but Li Zhi's eyes were red, biting his lower lip and crying, his chest was stuffy, and he was panicked.
How he wanted to fight this war.
Li Zhi's personality is quite gentle, but he is more belligerent than his father in his bones, but the current situation that Datang needs to recuperate makes him have to suppress this belligerent mood.
I finally looked forward to the opportunity of war, but I had to swallow my anger because of the lack of food.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi felt deeply humiliated at this moment.
"Brilliant kingdom, can't you even afford a big war? What have I managed over the years? Li Zhi asked with tears in his eyes.
The upright Liu Renliang made up a knife without any eyesight: "Yes, I can't afford to fight." ”
Li Zhi's fists clenched fiercely, and he didn't know whether he wanted to beat Tubo or Liu Renliang.
"The only way to do it now, is it true that my Datang doesn't care about Tuguhun?" Li Zhi said disheartenedly.
The veterans who had been silent for a long time fried the pot again, and Li Tao said in a deep voice: "Datang must not ignore it!" If Tugu is lost, the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions will be lost, and the territory laid by the two generations of emperors, if I lose my hand now, how can I face my ancestors? ”
Hope rose in Li Zhi's eyes again: "So, grit your teeth and fight a dozen?" ”
The veterans are silent again, and the gathering heroes are short of breath.
There is no food to beat a hair, and the soldiers are fighting hard for the country while drinking the northwest wind?
At this time, Xu Jingzong, the right minister, finally stood up and said slowly: "In the opinion of the old minister, it is better to send an advance envoy into Tuguhun, reconcile and turn around, and wait and see the changes. ”
"At the same time, mobilize the grain from the official warehouse in Huainan, Jiangnan, and try to raise a batch of it, even if it is only for a Wang Shi of 40,000 or 50,000 people, as long as the amount of March can be raised, Datang will be eligible to participate in this war."
Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "Can Jiangnan Huainan raise food?" ”
Xu Jingzong said: "Yes, Jiangnan Huainan has always been a place of grain production, in addition to the surplus of the official warehouse, the private grain storage of the folk squire landlords is also a lot, if the imperial court is really determined to fight this war, it may as well come forward by the government and borrow grain from the private landlords." ”
"In this way, it is not difficult to supply a Wang Shi of forty or fifty thousand people for three months, but the difficult thing is that it takes time to raise it, so the old minister said, first send an envoy to Tuyuhun to reconcile and turn around, and buy time for Datang to raise grain."
"Once the grain is raised, the Tang Dynasty can immediately send troops to Liangzhou, and the troops will be directed at Tuyuhun to drive the Tubo thieves out of the territory of Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty will permanently garrison Tuyuhun in the name of protecting the vassal states, so from then on, the territory of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty will be connected together, and the defense will be turned into an attack."
Li Zhi was overjoyed: "Send an envoy, send a steady and intelligent envoy to Tuyuhun on my behalf, reconcile the battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and buy time for the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Speaking of which, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that the last time he played against Li Qinzai, when he talked about the topic of Tubo and Tuyuhun, Li Qinzai also said that he would send an envoy to reconcile and then garrison troops in Liangzhou in order to advance backwards.
On the right note, today coincides with the prime minister, and he is worthy of being a rare talent.
Zuo Prime Minister Xu Yushi said in embarrassment: "Who is the right person to send for the envoy?" ”
The ministers began to argue again.
Li Zhi had a familiar face in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt appropriate.
Do you want to go wild? Still want to go sightseeing? Oh, go dream!
Li Zhi was sure in his heart, and said with a smile: "I already have an idea about the envoy candidate." ”
…………
Ganjingzhuang Annex.
The family happily moved things to the carriage, and lazy people like Li Qinzai did it themselves.
The basin for washing the face must be brought, and toilet paper is a must, by the way, Cui Jie's monthly menstrual affairs, the original aunt towel must also be prepared......
Buckwheat's slingshot can be considered to be returned to him, and there is nothing wrong with hitting birds to relieve boredom when he is bored on the road.
He has more things to bring with him, folding deck chairs, tents, snacks, wine, well, does Hachiga bring it? You can think about it, what if there is a bloody plot like touching the wrong tent in the middle of the night? Bringing Xiao Yaga can be regarded as foreshadowing the plot.
The mood is indescribably happy, tired and happy.
Li Sujie squatted at the gate of the courtyard, watching his husband's family busy coming and going, but he sighed in a low mood, like an abandoned stray dog.
"Can't you take your disciple with you, sir? The disciple doesn't cause trouble to Mr., and the disciple bears the cost of the gentleman all the way, and he can serve the gentleman at any time......" Li Sujie said pitifully.
Li Qinzai was in a very good mood, and rewarded him with a slap on the back of the head: "Don't mess around, your task now is to cut habits, my family of three is traveling, what's the matter with you being caught in the middle?" Don't you feel out of harmony with an extra hyena in the middle of a group of lions? ”
"How long is the gentleman going to travel?" Li Sujie was reluctant to say authentically.
"Three months, your father only gave me three months......" Li Qinzai sighed, seeing Li Sujie's sad expression, he hurriedly comforted.
"Study well in the school, I'm actually very reluctant to you, the thought of leaving you excellent cuties, I feel uncomfortable, hehe, haha, hahahaha......"
Li Sujie rolled his eyes: "Sir, you are all happy......"
"Haha, sad and laughing, sad and laughing!" Li Qinzai is happy when he thinks about it, ah no, it's uncomfortable!
The emotions were too exposed, and Li Qinzai had no choice but to turn around and look at the subordinates.
"Are you all packed? Ready to go! Buckwheat, buckwheat! Don't run around and get into the wagon as fast as you can. What about Madame? ”
After a hurry, the family of three boarded the carriage, two hundred subordinates escorted the carriage or so, and three carriages loaded with the daily necessities of the family of three.
The disciples of the school saw each other off at the entrance of the village, compared to Li Qinzai's sad and smiling, the students were really reluctant to give up, and walked a long way with the carriage.
However, less than a mile after the carriage walked out of the entrance of the village, he saw a fast horse galloping ahead.
Li Qinzai lifted the curtain of the car, stared at the smoke and dust raised by the fast horse in the distance, and somehow gave birth to an ominous premonition in his heart.
Isn't it really happy and sad?
