Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2331 The secret strategy

Because there were a lot of things to talk about in the early court, it lasted for a long time before it finally came to an end.

When it was time to go down, half an hour had passed at noon.

All the ministers felt a little hungry, so as soon as the court was over, everyone hurried home.

Qin Tian was also planning to go home, but before he left the palace, he was stopped by a palace attendant.

"The king of Xiliang stays, and the Holy Majesty announces that you will see me in the imperial study."

In the main hall just now, almost all the things that should be said have been said, why does Li Chengqian still want to see himself?

However, when Li Chengqian wanted to see him, he couldn't refuse. After nodding, he followed the palace man to the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study, Li Chengqian had already ordered some lunches to be prepared.

"Sir, let's have some food together."

"Thank you, Lord."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tian sat down and started to eat. When the two of them were eating like this, Qin Tian asked, "Is there anything else you haven't said, Your Majesty?"

Li Chengqian said: "Sir, there are some things that I didn't say in the hall, and I want to discuss them with you privately."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"It's like this. After destroying Tuyuhun, the only enemies our Great Tang faces are the countries of the Western Regions and Tubo. Now the countries of the Western Regions have frequent contacts with our Great Tang, and they have been severely taught by our Great Tang. So there are not many enemies with my Tang Dynasty, only one or two, one or two of their countries, it is nothing to worry about, the real threat to my Tang Dynasty is Tubo, and now, Songtsan Gampo is in his prime, His prestige in Tubo is unmatched, and he is almost regarded as a god by the people there. If they are allowed to develop like this, sooner or later, they will conflict with my Tang Dynasty. What I mean, since sooner or later They are all enemies, so how about finding an opportunity to destroy Tubo, sir?"

Tubo has always been a major problem in the Central Plains. Even if the regime here is wiped out, some situations here still make people worry.

Now, it is understandable that Li Chengqian wants to destroy Tubo first.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, and said: "What the Holy Majesty said is not unreasonable, but I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to destroy Tubo. In terms of combat effectiveness, Tubo's soldiers are not as good as our Tang Dynasty, but they Tubo One thing that is difficult for us to overcome is that they are located on a plateau. After our soldiers enter their place, they will feel short of breath and dizzy. Once this reaction occurs, our soldiers will lose Without combat power, it is almost impossible to destroy Tubo."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Then what do you mean, sir, as long as our soldiers can overcome this situation, we will be sure of victory?"

They are all human beings, if the people from Tubo can adapt to that situation, then the people from Tang Dynasty must also be able to adapt to that situation, Li Chengqian naturally thought of this.

Qin Tiandao: "Your Majesty is right. If you want to destroy Tubo, you must train a team of soldiers who can withstand this altitude sickness. These soldiers can fight normally on the plateau. Then there will be no problem in destroying Tubo."

"Such a soldier, how easy is it to train?"

"It all depends on the individual's physical fitness. Some people can adapt at the beginning, and some people may not necessarily be able to adapt after training. However, more people may get better after training. We think To form such an army to destroy Tubo, it is necessary to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country, conduct competitions, and finally if a team of 5 people can be formed, it is almost enough."

Tubo now has 10,000+ soldiers and horses. The [-] Tang army is really not that many, but not all places in Tubo are plateaus. Therefore, there are [-] Tang soldiers who can adapt to altitude sickness, and some other soldiers are about the same. It is possible to destroy Tubo.

After Qin Tian finished talking about the situation, Li Chengqian had already figured it out in his mind, and said, "Although fifty thousand is fine, it's a bit small. If we want to get it, we'll get one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. With so many people in my Tang Dynasty, finding one hundred thousand can be enough." Is it difficult for soldiers to adapt to altitude sickness?"

Li Chengqian's fighting spirit was very high, or in other words, his desire to destroy Tubo was very strong, so strong that he could not allow any mistakes, even if he paid a higher price, he would definitely destroy Tubo.

Hearing this, Qin Tian already understood Li Chengqian's determination.

"If the Holy Majesty really wants to destroy Tubo, then give me three years. Within three years, I will definitely train a team of soldiers with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and let them conquer Tubo."

This matter has to be handed over to him, Qin Tian. After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "If Mister is willing to do it, it would be great."

After the two of them finished talking, the food was almost finished, so Qin Tian got up to leave.

The autumn wind in Chang'an City was very strong. When Qin Tian left, the palace was already very quiet and deserted, and all the officials had already left.

Outside the palace, only Qin Tian's carriage was still waiting.

He got into the carriage, and was not in a hurry to go back to the mansion, but went to Duke Lu's mansion, and found Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

Cheng Yaojin was still very curious when all the people gathered in Lu Guogong's mansion.

"What are you guys going to do?"

Cheng Yaojin is getting old, but he is still in good spirits. He has not seen these juniors get together for a long time, and he suddenly misses the old days. At that time, Qin Tian was not the king of Xiliang , they made money together, and played with new gadgets together. Those days were really carefree and happy.

However, as these juniors got older and older, they also started to make contributions, left and left, busy and busy. I am afraid that the time at the beginning will never come back.

"We don't know either. Brother Qin has something to do with us, but Brother Qin hasn't said anything yet." Cheng Chumo said something, and Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Tian curiously. He knew that after retiring from the court, Qin Tian was given by Li Chengqian Called to the imperial study room, could it be related to this?
Qin Tian didn't mean to hide from them, he said: "Duke Lu, the Holy Majesty wants to destroy Tubo."

"Destroy Tubo?" After hearing the news, Cheng Yaojin immediately burst out laughing: "Our Holy Majesty is really brave. Not long after he took the throne, he wanted to destroy Tubo. He has the courage and demeanor of the former emperor." , but destroying Tubo is not an easy task, since the Holy Majesty asked you, you must have told him the situation, right?"

Qin Tian nodded: "Naturally, I have said it all. The Holy Majesty decided to train [-] troops. After these soldiers and horses adapt to the plateau climate, they will start a war against Tubo and strive to destroy Tubo in one battle."

"Train one hundred thousand soldiers?" Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, and couldn't help admiring Li Chengqian's courage and determination.
