I'm a marquis in Datang

public revenge

Li Shimin looked around a few people, and said: "It is our people who called you here today, and they also developed gunpowder. It is the explosive weapon under Du Qi's command, and our Tang Dynasty also has it now. Du Qi's weapon, we all know it." Yes. So now, I, Datang, no longer have to be afraid of Du Qi's weapons."

Li Shimin was extremely confident when he said these words, and he was even more confident.

A feeling of elation.

So cool!

After Li Shimin spoke, he paused for a while and continued: "The purpose of calling you here today is to discuss the strategy of sending troops. Now that our strength has surged, we have the conditions to send troops. Do you have any suggestions for this, and Think there is something wrong."

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think you can send troops to the west immediately. After all, we already have weapons, so we

It means we have an advantage. "

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, once there is a war, it will be out of control."

Fang Xuanling said: "I have no objection to going to war. However, I think that no matter what, you should be well prepared, and you must not be rash and impulsive."

Li Shimin nodded after listening to the words of several people.However, he did not make a judgment immediately, but looked at Li Jing and said, "Wei Guo

Gong, what do you think of this matter? "

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I know that a war with Xia Guo is inevitable. Either sooner or later, there will be such a war sooner or later."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Jing's words, with a look of approval.

This is Li Jing's old trick.

At this point, between Datang and Xia, the actual

There is no chance of relaxation in the world, and it is impossible to ease.If the wars of the past hadn't happened, Hou Junji hadn't died in battle, Changsun Wuji hadn't been humiliated, Duan Zhixuan hadn't been captured alive, without all of these things, maybe there would have been a turning point, but now, there is no turning point .

Li Shimin said: "Wei Guogong thinks how to fight this battle?"

When it comes to the method of using troops, Li Jing is at the level of a master.

Consider more thoughtfully.

Li Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty and Xia Kingdom fought again and again. In the past, the Xia Kingdom was only strong in Yizhou, Gaochang Prefecture and other places. When the second war started, Du Qi had the entire Western Region The states. Up to now, Du Qi has controlled the entire Western Region, and also included a part of the Jieri Kingdom, and his strength is not the same as that of the West, and even has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"I boldly predict that if we start a war with Du Qi again this time, Du Qi will definitely not let it go, it won't be like it used to be, just talk

That's all. "

"This time, once the war starts, Du Qi will go all out. Even, if we are in a disadvantageous situation, Du Qi will even lead his army into the territory of Datang."

"Because Du Qi is no longer afraid of Datang."

In Li Jing's muddy eyes, there was a touch of brightness, and he continued: "It was impossible for Du Qi to swallow like a snake, but now he is like a lion and tiger, so he will go all out to fight. Therefore, to start a war,

That means being prepared.The minister believes that there are four arrangements to be made at the moment. "

Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's words, thought about it carefully, and found that it was true.

Du Qi used to be a little forbearing.

But now, Du Qi may not bear it anymore, he must choose to go all out.

Li Shimin said: "Duke Wei, on the Tang side, we want to fight with Du

To start a war, there are four things to consider. "

Li Jingdao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the first aspect is to change the strategy on the surrounding area. Before that, we arranged envoys and hoped to join forces with Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, etc., but all of them because of Du Qi's strength Strengthening, all evading and delaying.”

"But now, it is unnecessary to adopt the previous soft strategy. As soon as our gunpowder is developed, let the envoys go there with the gunpowder, directly show their strength, and ask them to send troops to assist, and we will join us

Started a crusade against Du Qi. "

"If they don't send troops, then they should be defeated first. Of course, they can also be lured by benefits, that is, as long as they help Datang take down Du Qi, they can promise to give them the method of making gunpowder."

Li Jing said: "This is just a promise. When Du Qi is destroyed, the next step is to destroy all countries."

These words showed Li Jing's sophistication.

Intimidation and temptation!

And it's ruthless!

After Li Shimin listened, he laughed, with an expression of approval on his face, and said: "The Duke of Wei is right. Now that we have gunpowder, the most powerful weapon, there is no need to be gentle with other countries." attitude. We are strong enough to order other countries to send troops. If they don’t cooperate, at worst they will be gone.”

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Your Majesty, the second aspect

, It is to start to block the news of Guazhou.Right now, we are not in a hurry to go to war immediately, and need some time to order countries to send troops.All the envoys rushed forward, not discussing, but giving orders, so every time they came and went, the farthest place would take about two months longer. "

"If the speed is fast, within one month is enough to complete everything."

"So next, what we have to do is to blockade Guazhou and cut off Du Qi's business system. Now that it has been determined that both parties agree to

It must be an endless situation.Then, the next step must be to cut off Du Qi's supply. "

"We don't take down Du Qi's people. We just set up checkpoints on the border of Guazhou, allowing entry and not exiting. In this way, Du Qi's money, food, etc. cannot be sent in the cloud."

Li Jing said: "After all, these businesses are very good. Once Du Qi is destroyed, these business systems can be used again. So all businesses save you, but they have to block the border."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "What Duke Wei said is true."

Li Jing continued: "The third aspect is to deploy troops for this campaign. All the generals and soldiers who participated in the battle against Du Qi will be brought with them. Besides, the government soldiers will be recruited. It is only my Tang Dynasty, this battle We must go all out, no longer 20, at least 25 soldiers and horses, standing soldiers plus government soldiers, it is estimated that more than [-] people will push and crush them."

"In addition, there are Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje

, and all the tribes on the northern grasslands must go all out.So our total strength for this battle will be even more. "

Li Jing said: "Even though Du Qi is mighty, but Du Qi's troops are still not enough for a crowd of 40 to [-]."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad!"

Fighting on the battlefield is of course going all out.

In Li Shimin's view, not to mention an army of 40 to 40 troops, even if it was more, reaching 50 or [-], that would be

Cannot be overstated.

This battle is the final battle.

Du Qi was already a thorn in Li Shimin's heart, if he didn't remove it, he would never be able to calm down.
