Zhen Guo Princess GL

My own guess is the same as A Huan's guess, and I also think that my mother was summoned for Li Dan's matter, but when I arrived at the car, I saw my mother was very happy, and she didn't seem to be angry at all. Without waiting to straighten up, he listened to his mother: "Tubo invaded the bandits, and wanted to take the way to fight and pull out the valley. Dugu Shao led his troops to defend it, killed more than five thousand enemies, and captured more than four hundred alive."

I was overjoyed at one moment, and worried at the other, because Ah Shao lived up to everyone's expectations and made great achievements at the border, and I was worried because she had only been there for a year, and there was such a big battle-the Great Fighting Army said that there were 500 people, but most of them were killed. They are newly recruited athletes. Since there are more than 500 Tubo casualties and prisoners, the number of people dispatched will naturally not be less than this number. The land is very vast, and the number of people that Ashao can really bring out will never be less than this number.

My mother didn't pay attention to my thoughts, but just smiled and said, "Dugu Shao is good——Tang Xiujing also went to Shu, please take back the four towns of Anxi, I think so, what do you think?"

The 'you' she was referring to were Gao Yanfu, Gao Jingang, Ah Qing, Wan'er, He Loushi, Cui Mingde and me who were in front of the imperial court at this time. Except for Cui Mingde, probably no one knew anything about this matter, that is, Cui Mingde has no contact with Cardinal Junguo, and he can talk about it in general. If you really want to ask her, "How is Xizhou's defense?" "How many soldiers and civilians are there in Liangzhou?" , looked at each other, Gao Yanfu first stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty sees high and far, the sage thinks it is good, so naturally it is." After talking to us, except for Gao Jingang, no one spoke up. Turkic battles are always won and lost. Sometimes you think you will win, but you lose, and sometimes you think you may not win, but you win a big victory. No one can judge the outcome of this battle. I followed my mother’s wishes at this time. It's easy to flatter, and when my mother thinks about it afterwards, she won't seriously blame her, but the impression of "flattery" must have left behind. Although we usually have a lot of flattery, after all, we still have some ambitions in our hearts, so no one will Ken comes out.

Seeing that we were not talking, Gao Yanfu felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said softly: "What does the princess think?"

My mother also cast her eyes on me. At this time, I have the highest status and the closest blood relationship, so I can only bite the bullet and go forward and say: "Return to A Niang, I... don't understand."

My mother must have gotten used to me saying these two words. She smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "I know you don't understand, so try to explain it. I don't blame you for making mistakes."

I looked at Wan'er, seeing her bowing her head obediently, then at Cui Mingde, who had always been expressionless, and then at my mother, who smiled at me and said, "It's useless to look at anyone, I think Listen to you—you have to say it too, one by one.”

Both He Loushi and Gao Jingang moved their feet, and Cui Mingde and Wan'er lowered their heads even lower. They must have been thinking about how to reply. Famous aphorisms, TV dramas, movies, jokes, hundreds of dramas, history books, and military books have all been recalled, and finally found a sentence that seems to have some insight: "War... is the continuation of politics. Heck, what I mean is that when two countries go to war, the victory lies in... Victory or defeat does not depend on one day, there is a strategy...well, there is a difference between strategy and tactics. We must despise the enemy from the strategy, and pay attention to the enemy from the strategy..."

Cui Mingde said: "Your Majesty, what I think the princess means is that when the two countries are at war, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack diplomatic relations, the second is to attack the army, and the last is to attack the city."

The mother raised her head with great interest, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows these words after reading military books, so what's the meaning of these words? --Taiping speaks for himself."

I glanced at Cui Mingde gratefully, and after she reminded me, I came up with some ideas: "The front line of the war is important, but the rear cannot be ignored. Food, grass, soldiers, city walls, utensils, and people's hearts are all important." From Ashao to the front line From then on, I often thought about military issues. From the point of view of my previous life, when two countries go to war, what is fought is not the number of soldiers, but whose national power is strong and what price they are willing to use to achieve what purpose. What I remember The war, one is the eight-year war of resistance against the Kuomintang and the Communist Party mentioned in the textbooks, such as "encircling the city from the countryside", "militia plus siege", "long march" and "anti-encirclement and suppression". These are weak against strong, which is inconsistent with the current situation. One is the famous American attack on Iraq.

The news of that war and the opinions on the Internet were different. At that time, I had nothing to do with it and never paid attention to it seriously. However, in retrospect, with the strength of the United States, it could not quickly submit to Iraq, which was much weaker than it, and instead fell into a quagmire. This is because the price the two sides are willing to pay and the goals they want to achieve are different. Sometimes it is said that "the barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes". Therefore, the situation of the war may not be determined purely by national strength. However, from another perspective, considering the casualties of the US military Compared with the casualties in Iraq and the direction of the final situation, behind the war, it is not just a simple one or two, or a year or a few years of war. The so-called strategy should be a longer-term layout, where? How big a city should be built, how many people should defend it where, there are countless frontiers, which is more important, which battles can be lost and which ones can't be lost, all are knowledge.

As I was thinking about it, I slowly said to my mother: "Cardinal Military Kingdom, I dare not speak up. As far as the family is concerned, if someone is sent out, who should take care of this person's itinerary, what is the reason for going there, and the cost?" Geometry, how to know whether his work is good or bad, whether it is done well because he did it well or because of the right time and place, whether it is his fault or someone else's fault if it is done badly, how to reward and punish his deeds, how to make people work hard so that the family can follow suit This... is something I should think about. Based on this, the same is true in the army. Tang Xiujing asked the four towns of Anxi to be taken back, and I asked my mother to consider: How much will it cost to recover this place-not only money, silk, soldiers, but also For the hearts of the common people, hundreds of officials, and foreign vassals, for the guarding, management, and military barriers of our country, and its impact in the future; what will be the benefits of recovering this place—we must also consider things such as money, silk, and people's hearts, not just this year or next year, Or a few years later, it is also the determination of the ten or a hundred generations; the timing of recovering this place; the means of recovery."

The mother laughed and said: "What I want to ask is the timing and means of recovery. It's better for you to ask me instead."

I said: "For the important affairs of the country, your majesty's prime minister has all the opportunities, and the situation of the world is in the hands of your majesty. The prime ministers, princes and concubines can only assist your majesty in handling one or two trivial matters. How dare you speak falsely about the important affairs of the country?" : "Since three generations down, the war between the Central Plains and the foreign domains has never stopped. The first Tang Dynasty has fought against the four domains since the ancestors. Our country upholds propriety and righteousness, and is harmonious with its neighbors. However, the hearts of leopards and wolves on the border are endless. People also attack me. I show them courtesy, but they think I am weak. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, there will be a big war. The fighters, soldiers, generals, food, utensils, cities, monarchs, and ministers. The number has increased, Dingkou is several times that of the past, taxes are also several times, state-owned treasures, households have surplus food, military equipment, enough to use, the city wall has been repaired several times in decades, and the beacon fire has never been reported every day. The emperor is holy, the virtue is everywhere, and the ministers are united..." This is not my flattery. My mother has always been courageous in employing people. When she first took the throne, she appointed cruel officials wantonly. Not to mention the famous ministers I know (and only know), the newly promoted Li Zhaode and others are also very capable in their work. In fact, it is quite controversial. Once the country is stable, the voice for recovery must be very high. As the emperor, my mother cannot ignore the support of the people, and now the treasury is more abundant than before, and the population has increased several times. Confidence——Looking at it this way, Tang Xiujing's proposal was at the right time, and last year Cui Mingde asked Dugu Shao to volunteer, and it was also the best time.

I took a peek at Cui Mingde and finished the last sentence: "My son thinks that the only thing missing now is the word 'general'."
