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

Chapter 321 What is War?

Empty talk misleads the country!These guys who look down on Gao Changguo, besides talking on paper, what else do they know?
Li Shimin was annoyed for no reason, wishing he could slap Changsun Wuji and his gang so that they could be sober.

But at this moment Li Fu's inner voice was still going on, Li Shimin could only endure the restlessness in his heart, and continued to listen.

[Isn't Li Er surrounded by Baiqi?Didn't Baiqi of the Northland report back and inform that the blizzard has started in the Northland? 】

[No, Jin Yiwei from my side has already reported back, why doesn't he know about it?How strange! 】

[Once there is a blizzard in the Northland, the road will definitely be blocked, and the food, grass and luggage will not be able to be transported at that time. 】

【Even if the army can move forward, how will the next battle be fought?Could it be possible to let our soldiers eat compressed biscuits every day to live, that would be a toss to death! 】

Li Shimin's eyes were rounded, the Northland was snowing heavily, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the food and supplies could not be transported...

These were all issues that Li Shimin hadn't considered at all. Of course, he also remembered at the same time that Baiqi sent a secret report about the heavy snow in the north yesterday, but he just glanced at it and put it behind him. Only then did he remember it.

[In such a cold day, going to Gaochang to fight, not to mention the waste of people and money, because the severe cold caused frostbite to the soldiers, and even froze to death, it would have a serious blow to morale, how can this battle go on! 】

[Fuck, my cheap old man is still chattering, it seems that he should be thrown on the battlefield, let him experience the severe blizzard in the North, and see if he dares to chatter! 】

Li Shimin was trembling at the moment. Before his eyes, the scene of countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty being frostbitten and freezing to death under the ice and snow appeared.

Such a scene was really unbearable just thinking about it, Li Shimin suddenly gave up the idea of ​​attacking Gaochang immediately.

For him, the attack on Gaochang was just an excuse for Niu Jinda, but for an explanation, killing so many people's lives was only in exchange for the land of a small country that was useless to the Tang Dynasty.
In Li Shimin's eyes, it would be a failure to fight a Gaochang country at such a high price. He must not let such a thing happen!

[Well, to be honest, people in this era are always shouting and killing, don't they know how to surrender without fighting? 】

[Perhaps in the eyes of Li Er and Changsun Wuji, there is no more direct and effective method than massacring cities and countries! 】

Hearing Li Fu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand the meaning of Li Fu's words.

Isn't war the most direct and effective way?If not, what's the point of having so many troops in a country?Are they all used as decorations?

【Wars are always in the service of politics. Unless you have to, you must never use the most extreme means of political means, because there is never a winner in war! 】

Hum... When Li Fu said these words, Li Shimin felt like a bell was ringing in his head, and the pores all over his body instantly opened.

War is for politics, war is just the most extreme kind of political means, war has never had a winner!
These few words made Li Shimin feel enlightened, and he seemed to see a brand new idea in front of him.

Listening to the chatter of grandson Wuji in front of him at this moment, Li Shimin had lost all other thoughts, and interrupted straightforwardly: "Auxiliary machine, it's ok, the memorial just sent by Baiqi here said that it was snowing in the Northland, this matter cannot be tolerated." Underestimate."

"If there is heavy snow in the north at this time, we must plan the attack on Gaochang in the long term. We must find out the weather and geographical conditions of Gaochang as soon as possible. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be able to fight without danger!"

Li Fu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his brows twitched, and then he lowered his eyes.

[Hehe, it turns out that Li Er can do two things at once, actually listening to Baiqi's memorial at the same time. 】

[It can be regarded as a correct decision, otherwise it will be in big trouble! 】

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, but with his rank, he knew what he should say at this time.

"Your Majesty, you must find out this matter before you can march. Fortunately, Xue Wanche is still in the Northland at this time. The Ministry of War can send a letter to him, asking him to find out the movement and weather conditions in the direction of Gaochang as soon as possible, and then make a decision."

Fang Xuanling also said at this time: "What Your Majesty said, the old minister deeply agrees. It was only last winter that there was a blizzard. Will there be a blizzard in the Northland this year?"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's doubts, Li Fu couldn't help laughing.

【Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty actually showed off his poor meteorological knowledge. Who said that it snowed last year, so it won’t snow this year? 】

[If Qintianjian is not mistaken, and the historical data I remember is correct, the blizzard in this winter will probably be more terrifying than last year, so attacking Gaochang this winter will be like a nightmare for the Tang army. ! 】

[Anyway, I already know that the Lord of Gaochang is controlled by drugs, and there must be no more drugs around him now, drag him for a winter, and wait until the next year, I believe that the entire Gaochang country will be polluted by him! 】

[At that time, if we send troops to attack again, we will definitely be able to take Gaochang Kingdom at the lowest cost. Why waste manpower and material resources and risk huge losses now? 】

Li Shimin listened to Li Fu's aspirations, and immediately believed that Niu Jinda's assassination was indeed an insult to Datang.

But to be able to obtain the greatest victory with the least cost, Li Shimin, as the king of a country, naturally understands how to choose, so he quickly made a decision.

"Okay, that's settled the matter. Let's wait for Xue Wanche's information first." Li Shimin stood up and said, "It has snowed in Chang'an this winter. In order to nip it in the bud, I think you should focus on the Tang Dynasty. Do good within the territory!"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, all the ministers agreed deeply. Only Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others did not understand why Li Shimin firmly believed that the Northland had already snowed heavily.

Seven days later, Niu Jinda's injury was no longer as serious as before, and all the wounds had scabbed over, so he could get out of bed and walk.

As soon as Niu Jinda was able to go to the ground, he decided to go to the East Palace to thank Li Fu for saving his life.

"His Royal Highness, please accept Niu Jinda's obeisance!" Niu Jinda knelt down in front of Li Fu and kowtowed heavily.

Li Fu, who was standing opposite Niu Jinda, looked as if he wanted to stop him but dared not, for fear of hurting his wounds, how embarrassing it really was.

[Fuck, does this old man want to be such a straight man?It's all like this. I wonder if you can rest more at home and come to my place to make a fool of yourself?How boring! 】

With such a slander in his heart, Li Fu had no choice but to smile all over his face, and gave Niu Jinda a hand, "Mr. Langya, don't be so polite, please hurry up!"
