Although he dares to speak out, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.

In this situation, if you raise any objections, you may not know what the punishment will be.

"Well, let's discuss the candidates and the scale of the troops now!"

Seeing that Ren Yaxiang didn't say anything more, Li Zhi also nodded with satisfaction.

This is not Li Yanran's business, but it is about the future of Datang, if the other party can't even see this point clearly, he shouldn't be the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Biting Jin is asking for war!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chi Jingde invites you to fight."

"Your Majesty, Li Ji is invited to fight."

"Your Majesty, Su Dingfang asks for war."

Cheng Yanjin and the four of them also saluted Li Zhi together, and they all asked for battle, and they wanted to lead troops to fight against Tubo.

Looking at the four big men who stood up, Li Zhi was also in a trance.

This one by one, he was so excited when he heard about the war, which really made him depressed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister hasn't been on the expedition for a while, and his hands have been itchy for a long time, so let me go!"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the three people in front of him, his eyes were full of unhappiness.

He has been idle at home for more than a year, and during this time, he has no chance to shoot at all except for beating his own son.

No, fortunately, I beat up the mountain bandits in the middle, otherwise I would have faded out of the bird a long time ago.

"Cheng Biting Jin, forget it."

"Your Majesty, let the minister lead the troops to the battle, as long as 50,000, no, 30,000 soldiers and horses, the minister will completely drive Tubo out of the Tuhun Valley."

Wei Chi Jingde glanced at Cheng Biting Jin with disdain, and hurriedly spoke to Li Zhi.

"Twenty thousand!"

Li Ji looked at Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde coldly beside him, and slowly spit out the figure of 20,000.

"Li Ji, you are robbing business, right?"

Cheng Biting Jin and Yu Chi Jingde were instantly angry, and their eyes were bigger than bull's eyes.

"Ten thousand!"

“？？？”

Hearing this, the three of them set their eyes on Su Dingfang together.

Li Ji's 20,000 people is already quite limit, after all, Tubo is not as good as those small countries in the Western Regions.

Whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the equipment and supplies, they are all very strong existences, even if they are not much weaker than the elite of Datang.

The other party now has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses in Tuhun Valley, and you raised 10,000 troops to the past, is it so crazy?

I don't think I dared to do this at the beginning.

"Eight thousand!"

Cheng Biting Jin gritted his teeth and directly shouted out the bottom line of eight thousand soldiers.

"Six thousand!"

Wei Chi Jingde also frowned, but he didn't fall behind at all.

Li Ji's brows are twisted, you are all crazy, right?

Thousands of soldiers and horses dare to go over?

Are those Tibetan soldiers really Chinese cabbage?

Even if it's 100,000 pigs, a few thousand people may not be able to kill them!

"A thousand!"

“？？？”

Cheng Yanjin now just wants to pull out a knife and slash Su Dingfang in front of him, this guy is a monkey sent to tease!

What is the use of a thousand people in the past?

Stuffing the teeth of the Tibetans?

You're too good at bragging, aren't you!

"Enough!"

Li Zhi slapped the dragon case, his eyes full of coldness.

I'm asking you very seriously, but you're here to make me funny?

Is this a wet market?

Twitter, babbling.

Those who know that you are the princes of the dynasty and the generals, and those who don't know think that they are a group of old men bragging there.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

A group of people were instantly stunned and hurriedly saluted Li Zhi.

"Ren Yaxiang, which prince do you think is suitable to lead the troops into battle? How many troops is the best way to send troops now? ”

Li Zhi decided to ignore those living treasures, and directly set his sights on Ren Yaxiang.

Although this old man is stubborn and tough, and often fights with himself, his military literacy is still very good, and I believe he will not look away.

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister can see, Lu Guogong and E Guogong are a little old after all.

If you want to choose, it should be more secure in the British Duke and Xing Guogong, and it is most appropriate to send troops in more than 10,000. ”

Ren Yaxiang glanced at Cheng Biting Jin, and directly came with an age crit punch, and the two of them were also dizzy.

"Your Majesty, Lian Po is still eighty years old and can still lead troops to fight, why can't the minister lead the army to conquer Tibet."

"That's right, Ren Yaxiang is discriminating against us, what about being old?

The minister can still eat ten catties of meat, and he is invincible in armor and riding horses, why can't he go out to Tibet. ”

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde defended Li Zhi together, what the hell?

Old boy, you are not too young yourself, so why are you still the prime minister now, isn't it good to go back to your old age early?

"Okay, don't argue about this, Xing Guogong, British Gong, you have a strategy to break the enemy with an army of 10,000."

Li Zhi also didn't want the two of them to lead the troops, one of them was sixty-nine and the other was seventy-three, although their bodies looked very tough.

But after all, it is necessary to travel a long way to the south, and it is nearly a thousand miles along the way.

Normal people can't bear it, let alone old people like them.

Therefore, if you want to send troops to Tuhun Valley, the most suitable candidates are Li Ji and Su Dingfang.

Especially Su Dingfang, who was highly recommended by his own Li Yanran.

"Your Majesty, ministers don't fight uncertain battles."

"It is not clear how many soldiers and horses there are in Tibet now, and what the terrain is.

The 20,000 people I mentioned just now is already the minimum, and if there are 10,000 people, the minister is not sure of victory, and I hope Your Majesty will see it clearly. ”

Li Ji glanced at Li Zhi, and his brows furrowed directly.

He is not a reckless man, and in the face of the tens of thousands of troops in Tibet, 10,000 people is really not enough.

He didn't want to take risks because of a small Tibetan, and then ruin his reputation for long-term victory.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to send 10,000 troops south to support the Tuhun Valley, and the conspiracy of the Tubo people will be thwarted."

Su Dingfang was gearing up, his eyes full of excitement.

When he fought with the Turks, he didn't win more with less, but now he just changed the enemy, and it was the same in his opinion.

What the Tang Dynasty soldiers pointed out will be invincible.

"Okay, Xing Guogong is so brave and very relieved, so I will take you as a general, lead 30,000 troops, and go south to support Tuhun Valley."

Li Zhi nodded, Su Dingfang really deserved to be a god of war-level figure, although Li Ji's record was also good, but now it seems that he is not as enterprising as Su Dingfang.

This is the person he Li Zhi needs, heroic, fearless, and forward.

His daughter really didn't see the wrong person, this guy is really brave enough, so let's see if he can make another contribution this time.

Of course, although he just said that he would send 10,000 troops, it is naturally impossible for him to really do so, and it is impossible to joke about the soldiers of Tuhun Valley and Datang.

"Su Dingfang takes the order!"

Su Dingfang knelt directly in front of Li Zhi and received the order to go south to Tubo and support Tuhun Valley.

"Your Majesty, 30,000 soldiers, I'm afraid."

Su Dingfang was excited, but Ren Yaxiang was depressed.

How did the 10,000 soldiers I just said become 30,000?

Didn't you say that a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse?

Are you such a child's play as an emperor?

"What's wrong? I still don't believe it, my Huanghuang Datang can't even transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses.

If there is one less person, let the people from the military department go up, and if there are not enough people in the military department, you will go up.

In any case, none of these 30,000 soldiers and horses should be missing, this is the holy decree. ”

Li Zhi glared at Ren Yaxiang, if you old man dare to say anything again, I have to throw you to the front line.

"Whoa."

Ren Yaxiang sighed and saluted directly.

An army of 30,000 is not just a matter of soldiers, it is the most difficult to allocate food and grass.

Although it seems to have only increased by 20,000 people, it is several times more difficult for logistics.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are truly my own Majesty.

"Okay, this matter is settled, Su Dingfang stays, and the rest of the people retreat!"

"Whoa."

"Whoa."

The crowd saluted together and then left in turn.

"Your Majesty?"

Su Dingfang looked at Li Zhi, his eyes full of puzzlement.

I don't know what the other party is going to do when he stays here?

"Xing Guogong, do you know why I chose you as the commander of the march this time?"

Li Zhi waved his hand at Su Dingfang and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"Su Dingfang doesn't know."

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, didn't I send me over because I said that I could break through Tubo with ten thousand soldiers?

Is there anything else I don't know?

"My daughter, Princess Lishan, must have heard of it!"

Li Zhi smiled slightly, and directly brought Li Yanran out.

"Princess Lishan, the minister doesn't know anything about it, but I only heard that she is talented and intelligent, which is different from ordinary people."

Su Dingfang was stunned again, could it be that his expedition had nothing to do with Princess Lishan.

"My daughter admires you very much, and she even made a bet with me that as long as you lead the troops to the battle, you will definitely be able to break through Tubo and promote my Tang Tianwei."

Looking at the confused Su Dingfang, Li Zhi also said his conversation with Li Yanran.

“？？？”

Su Dingfang is really not calm now.

He really didn't expect that he could get this opportunity to send troops to Tibet, not because of his bravery, but because of the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

That's ridiculous, isn't it?

But this also shows from the side how much His Majesty the Emperor loves this Lishan princess.

But she doesn't seem to have anything to do with that princess, why does she trust herself so much and is willing to speak for herself in front of the emperor?

"So Su Dingfang, you don't have to live up to the high hopes of me and Princess Lishan, this battle must come out with the momentum of my Tang Dynasty, understand?"

Li Zhi knew what Su Dingfang thought, but since it was decided that it was him, then he could not live up to his and Datang's expectations.

He can only win this battle, not lose.

Otherwise, not only will Tuhun Valley be dangerous, but Longyou Road will also be in crisis.

"The minister will live up to the high expectations of His Majesty and Princess Lishan, and play the brilliant power of my Tang Dynasty."

Su Dingfang got up directly and saluted Li Zhi.

"Okay, let's go and prepare, this trip is a long way, you must protect yourself, understand!"

"Whoa."

Su Dingfang left, and Li Zhi slowly walked out of the imperial study, looking at the sky above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Li Zhi left, Li Yanran was also bored, thinking about the banquet at night, she also glanced at Li Hong beside her.

"Brother Hong, do you think there will be any disputes at this banquet?"

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Li Hong was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, he also nodded.

"If it is one of those small countries in the Western Regions, it will naturally not, but Tubo has always thought that it is no worse than my Tang Dynasty.

The last time their envoy came, it seemed that they held a cultural and martial arts competition during the state banquet, and in the end they were all defeated, and there should be this time. ”

Li Yanran glanced at Li Hong, and a fine light flashed in her eyes.

Since you want Tubo to know how powerful, let's start with this banquet!

"Let's go!"

Thinking of this, Li Yanran pulled her legs and left.

"Sister, what are you going to do?"

Li Hong was a little confused, so he followed.

"Li Feng, you go and prepare charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur immediately, and find some bamboo and iron beads."
