At this time, Fang Xuanling said: "Not to mention personal relations, even from the perspective of state affairs, Silla has always regarded itself as a subject country of my Datang, and now it has been suddenly destroyed, and my Datang should always give an explanation, and I can't react at all." If you just endure it like this, it will make the surrounding small countries laugh, and Datang's deterrent power will be sharply reduced. ”

Li Yuanying frowned and said: "In all fairness, since it is better for us in Datang not to send troops, then try not to send troops." The destruction of Silla is a good thing in my opinion. The Tang Dynasty is destined to unify the peninsula in the future, and now that Goguryeo has done it for us, it will be much easier to beat him in the future. Otherwise, if you take the peninsula in the future, you will have to give Silla a name, trouble! ”

Fang Xuanling whispered: "Your Highness, as we all know, that Jindeman is your personal disciple, and if you calculate your apprentice like this, it will be bad for your reputation if you spread it." ”

"Really? Did I say anything? It was Goguryeo who killed her father, and I didn't instigate it. Besides, our Tang Dynasty will destroy Goguryeo in the future, it is to help her avenge her father, I didn't calculate her, it just happened to be the right time.

Old Fang, by that time, Jindeman will be your daughter-in-law, and gossip can't talk about me here. ”

Fang Xuanling rubbed his head in embarrassment, who can catch King Qin's sophistry?

Everyone knew that if Silla was not destroyed, they would attack Goguryeo in the future, and they could unite with Silla and let Goguryeo suffer from the enemy. But Silla was destroyed, which was nothing more than one less reinforcement, not delaying the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and now that Silla is dying early, there are too many benefits for the Tang Dynasty to occupy the peninsula.

"The affairs of Silla, just do what the fifth brother said, everyone must fully cooperate, don't show your flaws, and you will be forced to do so." Li Er set the tone, and Li Yuanying gave a big roll of his eyes. What to do with me? Cooperate with me to be a liar to fool people? Second brother, I advise you to be kind and merciful.

Everyone held back a smile and agreed, Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had already decided to wait for the meeting to end, and then convene the important generals of the Ministry of War to discuss the matter.

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, since the great war in the ninth year of Wude, since the Yuan Zhenguan was changed, although there is not a war every year, it can be said that it is not peaceful every year. Therefore, at present, the Tang family's background is still limited, if it is possible, the minister thinks that it is best not to use troops within a few years. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed: "Yes, although the treasury is becoming more and more full, but now that the Tang Dynasty has declared war in the north and the Turkic Jieli in the north, and Goguryeo in the east, it is not able to launch the strength to destroy the two countries for the time being, so it can only be forbearant." ”

After the two people in charge of money and food finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Yuanying, including Emperor Li Er.

Li Yuanying was speechless, "What are you staring at me again?" I don't like war! That Goguryeo tied up our prince, this revenge must be avenged sooner or later. Even if it is to wait until the prince is an adult to personally lead the troops to destroy it, I have no opinion. Besides, although it was me to make an appointment with Jieli, it was about five years later, and now there are still three years, so there is no hurry. ”

Call...... Everyone sent a sigh of relief, that's good, that's good.

Li Er smiled slightly, "I heard it, King Qin has already arranged it, so I will do it according to King Qin's instructions." ”

Burst...... What do you mean by doing what I say? Me, what did I say? What I'm saying is that if you can't fight, don't fight. How do you listen to your tone, as if I have already set a time to fight? Don't get me wrong.

Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, tugged at his beard, pondered for a long time, and asked the dilemma in his heart, "Your Highness, although Goguryeo is not as powerful as Jieli, if the country is destroyed, the grassland is easier to destroy than Goguryeo." At the beginning, the three expeditions of the former Sui Emperor Daye failed, and we, even five years later, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand the continuous war. ”

Li Yuanying was puzzled: "At the beginning, the three expeditions to Goguryeo were not because the other party capitulated captively, coupled with the domestic turmoil, and mutual constraints, which led to the loss of labor and money, and the three expeditions were fruitless?" In this case, Datang should not appear, at least, this king does not accept their surrender. ”

"What? Fifth brother, don't you know? Li Er was very surprised.

"Know what? Could it be that there is something else going on? ”

Wei Guogong Li Jing had experienced that war, and explained: "Your Highness, if the last two wars were because of the country, then the first time was definitely not. In the initial expedition to Goguryeo, the former Sui was very well prepared, advancing by land and water, and there were millions of soldiers and logistics recruits.

At that time, the former Sui famous generals were like clouds, and they could be said to be no less than today's Tang Dynasty, and even surpassed.

It's a pity that the defeat was in two points, one of which was that the advanced naval warships of Goguryeo, the three countries of the peninsula attached great importance to naval development, and lost the first battle, and the former Sui suffered a big loss. This also led to the painful experience of Emperor Daye, and later tried his best to develop the shipbuilding industry. ”

Li Yuanying frowned and said, "Navy? Warship? In that case, my Tang Dynasty's current navy and warships can't even catch up with the former Sui, let alone compete with Goguryeo. What about the second point? ”

"The second point is food, the logistics supply line is too long, for example, ten catties of grain from Chang'an or Jiangnan, transported to the front line of the battlefield, at most three catties left, seven catties on the way. Therefore, the livelihood of millions of people is not durable to fight for a long time, and Goguryeo is located in the northeast, and it is winter for half of the year, which can be said to be defeated in time. Li Jing said with emotion.

Li Er added what Li Jing didn't finish, "Later, Emperor Daye ordered the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, also for the purpose of transferring grain from the south to the north, but it was too late. ”

"However, now that we have high-yield and improved seeds, we don't need to transport grain over long distances, we only need to plant it in Youzhou, and the grain and grass of the army will be safe at that time." The eldest grandson Wuji finally said a good news.

Nodding, Li Yuanying asked with a smile: "In other words, now, what our Datang is missing is the warship and the navy?" ”

Li Yuanba said with some disdain: "Why use the navy? If you can win the land battle, go straight to the old nest, and occupy Goguryeo on all fronts, won't the warships floating on the sea become rootless trees? Why be afraid? ”

"It's not that I haven't thought about it this way, but Goguryeo is very cunning, if they don't use the navy, they will send ships to cross the ocean and sneak attack everywhere, not only can they sneak around the rear of our army, but they will also send troops to attack and disturb our coastline such as Shandong Province and Jiangnan Province, which is impossible to prevent." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Li Yuanba laughed and said: "Then the wall is clear, just eat the enemy, don't the rear, the three armies are all forwards, wait until I destroy Goguryeo, slaughter the head of Quangai Suwen, and starve to death this group of soulless navy." ”

"Fourth brother, don't be arrogant, there is no shortage of fierce generals and strategists in the former Sui, and people you can think of can also think of it, but they don't use it, it must be reasonable." Li Er explained.

"That's because I didn't go to Goguryeo for the three expeditions, if I go, what city can't be smashed with a hammer? Second brother, it's better to do this and give me a 20,000-strong army as logistics. Bring Lao Tie, Xiao Doudou, and Lao Tie's apprentices, our four peerless generals, sweep everything, within a month, lay down Goguryeo, and come back to congratulate the second brother on his birthday? Li Yuanba was extremely arrogant, and as he spoke, he stood up excitedly.

All:......

Li Er: It's over, this stunned thing, hurry up and stop him, and if he can't wait for him, he will dare to ride a horse.
