Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 423 Pushing all the way

But the minimum food is still available.

Moreover, the food provided by the Shu army was not bad.

This adds up to a reserve of 10 people.

From the territory of Nanzhao State to the border of Pyu State.

That's a few days away.

The cost of going back and forth is also astronomical.

Although it is said that the country of Shu is now a great cause.

Don't care about this consumption at all.

But Su Dingfang was not willing to waste it like this.

therefore.

He can only think of a way.

"Order the whole army to march southwest!"

Su Dingfang's method is also very simple.

The troops coming from Nanzhao Kingdom came from the south.

Even if they want to make peace with Su Dingfang, they are still in the territory of Pyu.

As long as Su Dingfang moves fast enough to take down several cities in the south of Piao country in advance, will the problem be solved soon?

This is also no way.

if you can.

Su Dingfang would never be so reckless.

He prefers to make decisions before acting.

He will only act after he has absolute certainty.

Although it is said that the strength of the Shu army is used to attack Pyu.

That is a war to be won.

But Su Dingfang still hopes to reduce some casualties.

Although the Piao country is indeed very weak now.

But it is a country after all.

If you really want to fight.

There was no attack planned.

Even if they win, they have to pay some price.

Perhaps the price was only the lives of [-] soldiers.

But it is also a loss.

Even a soldier.

That is also a soldier of Shu.

It is also a living person with family and friends, flesh and blood.

rather than a simple number.

and so.

If only there were fewer sacrifices.

He is definitely willing to rack his brains for this.

Although Su Dingfang was a little helpless, he could only order like this.

Belonging didn't think much about it.

Even for the war, they are looking forward to it very much.

Today's Shu Kingdom has developed very well.

The only wars are wars of external expansion.

Such wars are much rarer.

And the time required for a war is also longer.

Not a few times a year.

This is also the reason why the war on the side of the Shu army ended quite quickly.

and so.

In fact, the Shu army has always been just raising them.

There simply isn't much to do.

The internal security of the Kingdom of Shu does not need their intervention at all.

Not to mention the professional security forces.

Just the current situation in the Kingdom of Shu basically does not require any security.

and so.

When there is no war, the Shu army is completely idle.

of course.

The treatment of the Shu army is still very good.

But after the basic living conditions have been guaranteed.

Of course they also hope to make their lives better.

This is human nature.

No one is satisfied with the present.

After being able to eat and drink enough.

They want to earn more money, buy a better house, and have better food.

This is normal.

The Shu army also gave these soldiers a chance.

As long as you can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

They can get everything they want.

and so.

The Shu army actually wanted to fight.

Although fighting is risky.

But while there are risks, there are also rewards.

Those gains are what they want most.

Only by getting those harvests can you get military merit.

Only then can they hope to get more wealth and get what they want as soon as possible.

Although it is said that the State of Shu is now implementing imperial examinations.

There are no limits to the spread of culture today either.

But here's the problem.

Their ages are there.

Even if you are very talented, if you start studying now, you will not be able to keep up with the pace of young people.

of course.

Most of the people in the Shu army are also young people.

Now those refugees who made trouble with Li Ke at the beginning have gone through these years.

Basically either retired, or older.

Others are already elevated.

The recruits at the bottom are basically newcomers who have joined in the past two years.

Others are captives of various kinds.

For Datang.

Especially for Shu.

There is no captive who cannot be naturalized.

After all, the Shu army is treated so well that even their country has been occupied by Li Ke.

If they don't surrender, what else can they do if they don't stay in the Shu army honestly?

Is it really necessary to avenge the country that has been destroyed?
They are all a group of young people, or ordinary people at the bottom.

No one has such a sense of family and country.

It's not Datang.

But in terms of treatment.

These captives are also the same as the soldiers of the Shu army.

Li Ke knows that if he wants to win people's hearts, he must be treated fairly.

of course.

There is also a prerequisite for this fair treatment.

That is, these captives thought they were Datang people.

Not people from those countries.

Only those who have truly naturalized into Datang.

In order to enjoy the benefits that the Datang army should have.

As for those who were not naturalized, of course they all died.

Without naturalization, is it possible to keep and waste food?
and so.

Among the current Shu army.

From top to bottom, they all look forward to fighting.

They hope to gain more meritorious service through war.

Su Dingfang is naturally an exception.

He was not young at all.

The honors that should be given are basically all there.

In Datang's current court, the top official positions are basically occupied.

But for the following official positions, others still have a chance.

Su Dingfang had no chance.

Because he is among these official positions.

Moreover.

He doesn't need these official positions anymore.

His honor no longer needs an official position to prove it.

Just like Li Ke.

Even if he is not the prince yet.

But who thinks that others have a chance?

The position of prince must belong to Li Ke.

Even if Li Ke ascended the throne directly without going through the crown prince.

They also take it for granted.

of course.

It is unreasonable to do so.

Someone will definitely jump out and point fingers.

It's too early to think about that now.

Li Shimin is still in the prime of life.

At least within a few years.

Li Ke had no chance of ascending the throne.

Li Ke didn't care either.

He is now the Emperor of Shu.

What he said was more effective than what Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin also knew it well.

In addition, the relationship between their father and son is also very good now.

He didn't bother to care.

The whole of Shu.

In addition, several countries around Shu that were defeated by Li Ke.

Basically, it is Li Ke's own territory.

Li Shimin doesn't care.

Not to mention the others.

In addition, Li Ke is still the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.

They naturally have no opinion.

They do want to have an opinion.

But now the King of Shu Party has occupied the court.

The top ministers are basically the Shu Royal Party.

If they have an opinion today, they don't have to go to court tomorrow.

Not even going to work.

You know, a minister who can go to court.

At least five grades.

Except that some special ministers may have a lower rank.

But among the remaining ministers, which one is not the minister of Humerus of Datang?

But if you offend the king of Shu.
