Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 127 Stop Fighting
After Li Shimin said that he wanted to fight Goguryeo, the officials immediately started discussing, and soon the imperial study room was divided into two camps.

One camp supports Li Shimin's decision. Changsun Wuji believes that it is absolutely necessary to teach Goguryeo a good lesson. If conditions permit, it should be destroyed to let the world know that the dignity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be violated.

The other camp, led by military generals such as Li Jing, opposed the use of troops against Goguryeo at this time. They believed that Tibet should be fought first and then Goguryeo. After all, it was just a battle of emotions, which was obviously inappropriate.

In contrast, for the sake of the safety of the hundreds of thousands of border residents in the Tang Dynasty, it is still necessary to fight Tubo first.

Li Fu watched the group of officials discussing in full swing, and he also started to mutter in his heart, Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly.

[This, this, Li Er, an old man who wants to fight Goguryeo, has the courage, but it seems that the courtiers are not very easy. 】

[But I have to say that Li Er's choice is still good, and the choice to fight Goguryeo is very correct. 】

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, this was the first time he had made a major military strategy decision, and he was approved by Li Fu.

So Li Shimin directly ignored the debate between Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and instead listened carefully to Li Fu's voice.

[In fact, the country of Goguryeo is a lowly skin, and the Central Plains Dynasty has been constantly provoked by him. 】

[That's why Emperor Sui Yang's three conquests of Goguryeo happened. Although he didn't agree with Emperor Sui Yang, it must be said that there was no problem with Emperor Sui Yang's decision to fight Goguryeo. 】

[Few people may have noticed that the Goguryeo Kingdom lasted for a full 700 years from Emperor Han Yuan to its final destruction. 】

[Most of the dynasties are sad for Kaner for 300 years. Goguryeo, a minority ethnic group outside the Great Wall, has survived for more than 700 years, second only to the Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that it is absolutely extraordinary. 】

[The main ethnic group of Goguryeo is the Buyeo people. It was formerly a foreign vassal of the Zhou Dynasty. It paid tribute to the court on a regular basis. Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it entered a half-hunting and half-farming life. With the construction of cities, it seemed to have the foundation of a feudal dynasty. . 】

Li Shimin listened very carefully, but felt shocked while listening. In fact, since the founding of Li Tang, Li Shimin has been sending spies to Liaodong to investigate Goguryeo's intelligence.

But until today, Li Shimin suddenly discovered that the information he had found was not as much as Li Fu's, and Li Fu's understanding of Goguryeo was actually deeper than his own.

[The main reason why any nation can survive for a long time in the long river of history is not the strength of this nation, but its ability to survive. 】

[For example, the Xiongnu and Xianbei, although they were very powerful at one time, they all disappeared in the end. The reason is that they are just a single nomadic people, and they have no other skills except relying on the sky to feed. 】

[But Goguryeo is different. They have nomadism, but they also have farming, so they ensure the strong viability of this nation. It is very easy to choose between advances and retreats, so dealing with them is not as simple as the Huns. 】

[Li Er is also an emperor through the ages. He should see the threat of Goguryeo to Datang in the future, so he has always been vigilant against Goguryeo. Whenever there is any trouble, he wants to wipe out the other party. 】

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard Li Fu say that about himself, but he didn't have as far-reaching a thought about the destruction of Goguryeo as Li Fu thought, he just didn't like it.

Especially the humiliation of the previous dynasty made Li Shimin choke in his throat, and he really wanted to slap Goguryeo severely.

But when he listened to Li Fu's heartfelt voice, Li Shimin suddenly realized that his vision was too narrow, and that revenge purely for the sake of revenge was too small.

Li Fu is right. The Goguryeo nation has already become a threat to the Tang Dynasty. If this country is not wiped out as soon as possible, it will definitely be the greatest enemy of the Tang Dynasty when it grows stronger.

[Li Er's generation, the Tang Dynasty has been promoted to the extreme in all aspects. That's why Li Zhi, that little kid, was able to destroy Goguryeo so easily and eradicate this serious trouble after he succeeded to the throne. 】

[But I don’t know why, Li Zhi’s little boy destroyed Goguryeo and didn’t manage it well. A few hundred years later, there was almost a golden man in the place of Goguryeo. After 100 years, Mongolia rose and completed the first foreign race to the Central Plains. Unite. 】

[The last is the Manchurian Houjin, who rose on the territory of Goguryeo and established the last feudal dynasty in the Central Plains. 】

[So history is really amazing. Going around and going around, who is right and who is wrong, there is really no final conclusion. 】

Li Shimin was a little confused by Li Fu's inner voice. Except for Li Zhi, he couldn't understand anything messed up.

But Li Shimin probably knows that Goguryeo must be taken down quickly. His decision is fine, but the current timing may not be conducive to Tang Jun's actions. In this case...

Li Shimin looked at the faces of the officials at the bottom of the steps, and waved his hand violently, "Okay, stop fighting, Qinzhou and Songzhou, let the frontier troops stand firm, and the left and right military guards began to gather, ready to send troops Liaodong."

Li Shimin's domineering aura opened up, and the imperial aura on his body instantly immobilized all the officials present. Except for Li Fu, no one dared to talk nonsense.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Fu sighed quietly, and the voice of his heart flooded into Li Shimin's mind like a tide.

【Well, after all, the course of history cannot be changed. Li Shimin should be preparing to conquer Goguryeo himself, so the disastrous defeat is inevitable. By the way, it seems that because of this defeat, it planted a time bomb for future generations. 】

What the hell, a ticking time bomb?What is that thing, it sounds like it is very powerful.

Li Shimin was very confused, and wanted to pull Li Fu's hair to ask clearly, why did this guy just say that his conquest of Goguryeo was a wise and powerful choice?
But just after he made a decision, he said that he would fail, why can't he finish it all at once?

But at the same time, Li Shimin was very unconvinced. Now that he has enough soldiers and food, how could he fail in a small Goguryeo attack?
[If I remember correctly, the number one reason for Li Er's failure was the long distance, insufficient supplies of food and grass, and the fact that many ministers opposed the conquest of Goguryeo, so the hidden dangers have already been laid. 】

Li Shimin frowned slightly, but he already admitted in his heart that what Li Fu said was right. The most important thing to avoid when going out on expeditions is not enough food and grass. Coupled with fighting in the nest, it is the easiest thing to capsize.

[The second reason is because Li Er, an old man, insisted on his own conquest. Originally, he had to go to Goguryeo and send a general to solve the problem, but he insisted on mobilizing the army. He was on the front line, and no one would ask for instructions on everything. This is in the military It can be said that it is taboo before. 】
