Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 425

At this time, Fang Xuanling said: "Not to mention personal relationships, even considering state affairs, Silla has always regarded itself as a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, and now it is suddenly destroyed, my Tang Dynasty should give an explanation, and there must be no reaction. If you just endure it like this, the surrounding small countries will laugh at it, and the deterrent power of the Tang Dynasty will drop sharply."

Li Yuanying frowned and said: "In all fairness, since it is better for us in the Tang Dynasty not to send troops, we should try not to send troops. I think it is a good thing that Silla is destroyed. The Tang Dynasty is destined to unify the peninsula in the future. Now Goguryeo will do it for us. In the future It’s much easier to beat him alone. Otherwise, if we win the peninsula in the future, we will have to give Silla a title, which is troublesome!”

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "Your Highness, as we all know, Kinderman is your direct disciple after all. If you count your own disciple like this, it will be bad for your reputation if you spread it out."

"Really? Did I say something? It was Goguryeo who killed her father, and I didn't instigate it. Besides, our Datang will destroy Goguryeo in the future to avenge her father. I didn't plan on her. will only.

Lao Fang, by then, Kinderman will be your daughter-in-law, so you can't gossip about me. "

Fang Xuanling rubbed his forehead in embarrassment, who can resist King Qin's sophistry?

Everyone knows that if Silla is not destroyed, if they attack Goguryeo in the future, they can unite with Silla and let Goguryeo suffer from the enemy.But the destruction of Silla was nothing more than a lack of reinforcements along the way, so as not to delay the Tang Dynasty's destruction of Goguryeo.People who are not of our race must have a different heart. Now that Silla has died early, it will have too many benefits for Datang to occupy the peninsula.

"As for Xinluo, we should follow what the fifth brother said. Everyone must cooperate fully, and don't show your flaws and be punished by others." Li Er set the tone, and Li Yuanying gave a big white eye, cooperate?With me what?Will you cooperate with me to be a liar and fool people?Second brother, I advise you to be kind and be merciful.

Everyone held back their laughter and agreed. Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, had already decided to call the important generals of the Ministry of War to discuss the matter after the meeting. Don't let anyone who is not open-eyed at that time spoil the big event in order to flatter the King of Qin.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin, since the war in the ninth year of Wude, since Yuan Zhenguan was changed, although there have not been wars every year, it can be said that every year is not peaceful. Therefore, the Tang family is still limited. , if it is possible, I think it is best not to use troops for a few years."

Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed: "Yes, although the national treasury is getting fuller, but now the Tang Dynasty has declared war on the Turkic Jieli in the north, and the Goguryeo in the east. For the time being, it is still unable to mobilize the strength to destroy the two countries, so we can only bear with it."

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, "Why are you staring at me again? I really don't like fighting! Then Goguryeo kidnapped our prince, and this revenge will be avenged sooner or later. Even if the prince becomes an adult and personally leads the army to destroy it, I have no problem. Besides Well, although I was the one who made the appointment with Jieli, it was about five years later, and there are still three years left, so don’t worry.”

Huh... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, that's good, that's good.

Li Er smiled slightly, "Have you heard that, King Qin has already made arrangements, so follow King Qin's instructions."

Pfft... just do what I say?Me, what did I say?What I'm saying is don't fight if you can.How do you hear your tone, as if I have already decided when to start the fight?Don't get me wrong.

Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, pulled his beard vigorously, pondered for a long time, and asked out of his embarrassment, "Your Highness, although Goguryeo is not as powerful as Jieli, but if the country is destroyed, the grassland is easier to destroy than Goguryeo. At the time, the former Sui Emperor Daye made three expeditions. It failed, and we, even after five years, may not be able to withstand the successive years of war."

Li Yuanying was puzzled and said: "Didn't the three conquests of Goguryeo in the first place be because the other party was capricious and falsely surrendered, coupled with domestic turmoil, which hindered each other and made the three conquests fruitless? This situation should not happen in Datang, at least, This king does not accept their surrender."

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

"Know what? Could there be something else hidden?"

Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, had experienced that war, and explained: "His Royal Highness, if the last two wars were caused by the country, then the first one was definitely not. The first conquest of Goguryeo, the preparations for the former Sui Dynasty were well prepared, both land and water were advanced, and even the soldiers There are millions of civilian husbands with logistics recruitment.

At that time, the famous generals of the former Sui Dynasty were like clouds and counselors were like clouds, which can be said to be no less than the current Tang Dynasty, and even surpassed.

It's a pity that the defeat was due to two points. One is that Goguryeo's advanced naval warships. The three countries of the peninsula attached great importance to the development of the navy. They lost the first battle, and the former Sui Dynasty suffered a big loss.This also caused Emperor Daye to learn from the painful experience, and later tried his best to develop the shipbuilding business. "

Li Yuanying frowned and said, "Navy? Warships? In other words, the current navy and warships of Tang Dynasty can't even catch up with the former Sui Dynasty, let alone compete with Goguryeo. What about the second point?"

"The second point is food. The logistics supply line is too long. For example, if ten catties of grain are transported from Chang'an or Jiangnan to the front line of the battlefield, at most three catties will be left, and seven catties will be consumed on the way. Therefore, the livelihood of millions of people , not protracted war, and Goguryeo is located in the northeast, half of the year is winter, this can be said to be defeated by the weather." Li Jing said with emotion.

Li Er added what Li Jing hadn't finished saying, "Later, Emperor Daye ordered the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for the purpose of diverting grain from the south to the north, but it was too late. Years of wars cost the people and money. "

"However, now that we have high-yielding fine seeds, we don't need to transport grain long distances. We only need to plant it in Youzhou, and then the army will be safe." Changsun Wuji finally told the good news.

Nodding her head, Li Yuanying asked with a half-smile: "That is to say, what we are short of in the Tang Dynasty is warships and 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 across the board, won't the warships floating on the sea become rootless trees? Why worry about it?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Goguryeo is very cunning. If they don't use the navy, they will send ships across the ocean and attack everywhere. Not only can they go around and attack the rear of our army, but they will also send troops to harass our coastlines such as Shandong Road and Jiangnan Road. It's impossible to guard against." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Li Yuanba laughed loudly and said: "Then strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness, just feed on the enemy, not the rear, the three armies are all forwards, when I destroy Goguryeo, kill the head of Quangai Suwen, and starve to death this group of faint-hearted navy."

"Fourth brother, don't be arrogant. There were many generals and advisors in the Sui Dynasty. You can think of others, but they didn't use them. It must be reasonable." Li Er persuaded.

"That's because I didn't go to Goguryeo for the three campaigns. If I go, what city can't be broken with a hammer? Second brother, how about this, give me an army of 2 people for logistics. Bring the old iron, the young Doudou, and Lao Tie's apprentice, we four peerless generals, sweep everything, within a month, take down Goguryeo, how about coming back to celebrate the second brother's birthday?" Li Yuanba was extremely arrogant, and he went up as he spoke, already excited stood up.

Crowd: ...

Li Er: It's over, this dumbass, hurry up and hold him, if you don't know how to wait, he dares to go for real on horseback.
