Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2494 Datang's thoughts

Chang'an City.

Chang'an City in midsummer is a bit sweltering.

Not long after Li Chengqian and the others received the good news sent by Qin Tian, ​​Che Shiqian's request for help was sent to the capital.

This letter was not sent by an envoy from Che Shi's former country.

The envoys of Che Shiqian Kingdom first sent this letter to Yumen Pass, and then quickly sent it to Chang'an City through Yumen Pass's mail delivery system.

After Li Chengqian read the request letter, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "My dear friends, praise Buge for launching a coup in Che Shihou country and overthrowing Shi Bukang's rule. Ma, besieged Cheshiqian country, Cheshiqian country knew that it was defeated by the remnants of Tubo, so they sent a letter of help to my Tang Dynasty, dear friends, do you have anything to say about this?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the officials in the court looked at each other. They did not expect such a thing to happen. In their opinion, Song Zan Buge fled to the Western Regions with Tubo's soldiers and horses. He should be very happy. It's right to be safe, how could they send troops to destroy strange countries? Are they courting death?

But soon, they realized that praising and not singing were not courting death, but strengthening themselves.

War will kill people, but non-stop war can make his soldiers grow stronger, and once Praise Buge's power in the Western Regions is strong enough, he is afraid that he will find trouble with Datang Bar?
In the Great Tang Dynasty Hall, there were many smart people, so soon, some people saw the twists and turns.

"Your Majesty, Praise Buge wants to annex the countries of the Western Regions, and finally with a strong force, it will be an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. We can't just sit idly by. We should send troops as soon as possible to destroy Praise Buge."

"That's right, we should cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, and get rid of them as soon as possible."

"If we wait until Praise Buge is strong before we attack, we don't know how many people will die by then. Now as long as we send troops, the countries in the Western Regions will definitely respond."

"........."

The officials who saw the purpose of praising and not singing spoke up one after another, and after they finished saying this, some other officials also saw it, and couldn't help talking. They all felt that they should send troops as soon as possible, taking advantage of Tubo's strength. When they are not strong, kill them in the cradle.

However, when these people kept talking like this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Ji's mouth, but he didn't intend to speak.

Many people only see one, but not the other.

Li Chengqian looked at the officials, but did not express his opinion. He quickly saw Li Ji's expression, which made him a little curious, and asked, "Mr. Yingying, what do you think?"

When asked, Li Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate for our Tang Dynasty to send troops at the moment."

Hearing this, not only Li Chengqian was puzzled, but other officials in the court were also puzzled.

"British lord, why is it not appropriate to send troops?"

Everyone turned their attention to Li Ji. Li Ji always had a strategy. He must have thought of it when he said this.

Li Jidao: "Today's Tubo is indeed not strong enough, but they haven't provoked the resentment of the Western Regions. Therefore, if my Tang Dynasty sends troops at this time, the Western Regions will not be too many."

Hearing this, someone immediately curled their lips and said: "The British Lord's words are wrong. Even if there is no response from the countries in the Western Regions, it is still very easy for us to destroy more than 1 Tubo soldiers. Song's strength is getting stronger and stronger, even if there is a response from the countries of the Western Regions, our Tang Dynasty will probably have to send more troops, and the best way is to take advantage of their weakness and destroy them."

"That's right, that's right. The British Duke is a smart person. How could he fail to see this? Could it be that the British Duke has other meanings?"

Li Ji smiled slightly, and when everyone saw him like this, they knew that he really had other meanings, so they didn't continue talking, and only waited for Li Ji to continue.

Li Jidao: "Holy Majesty, now that Tubo has been subjugated, there is nothing left for our enemies around the Tang Dynasty. The existence of the countries in the Western Regions is an eyesore. It is time for our Tang Dynasty to let them surrender completely. It would be a good thing for us to destroy some countries in the Western Regions."

The words were not very thorough, but everyone understood the meaning at once.

Yes, they have no enemies in the Tang Dynasty, and there is only one country in the Western Regions. If the countries in the Western Regions are allowed to exist, it is really a bit of an eyesore. It is better to destroy the countries in the Western Regions and let the Western Regions become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But the countries in the Western Regions have always been obedient and submissive to the Great Tang since they turned to the Great Food Kingdom and offended the Great Tang.

In a situation like this, they in the Tang Dynasty really couldn't find a chance to fight, but now, Praise Buge launched a war in the countries of the Western Regions, which gave them a chance.

As long as they wait until the praises and songs have almost wiped out the countries in the Western Regions, then as long as they destroy the praises and songs, it is equivalent to destroying the countries in the Western Regions.

It is naturally impossible for the countries that have been wiped out by Tubo to recover. At that time, even if there are still a few small countries, it will not hurt. At that time, they will naturally know what to do.

However, when everyone understood the meaning of Li Ji's words, they faintly felt that there were some hidden dangers.

"My lord, what if the troops of Praise Buge are too strong, at that time, we will be feeding tigers."

"Yeah, if they become stronger, we will have to work hard to destroy them. Will the gain outweigh the loss?"

"That's right, it's too dangerous to do so."

In everyone's opinion, although this matter is an opportunity, it is very particular about one's vision. They must do it before Songtsan Gampo has completely grown, and when they do it, almost all the countries in the Western Regions must be wiped out. up.

Once it is not handled properly, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted.

Facing the questioning of the crowd, Li Ji's performance was calm and calm, saying: "Don't worry about this, just leave this matter to Qin Tian. , Qin Tian didn't go after him, because he had such thoughts in mind, otherwise, with Qin Tian's temperament, if he didn't want to let praises and songs enter the Western Regions, would he be able to enter the Western Regions, and, even if he If he was able to escape into the countries of the Western Regions, the current Qin Tian would have wiped him out long ago, but Qin Tian must have plots if he stands still."

With Li Ji's explanation, everyone suddenly came to their senses, and at this time Li Chengqian also nodded and smiled, this is really Qin Tian's style.

"The British public statement is justified. If this is the case, then my Tang Dynasty will send troops later. This matter is fully entrusted to King Yunhai."
