Man Tanghong

Chapter 884 I think I can win if I dare!

Li Yuanji knows how to be a man. When he heard Chen Shuda's words, his face immediately changed, and he greeted Chen Shuda with a look of annoyance: "Chen Aiqing was joking, you came at the right time, help me persuade Li Aiqing, he will go no matter what." Conquer the Turks, if I don't agree, I will die and show me, I can't stop it, I can only rely on you."

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Shuda was stunned, but Li Jing was also stunned.

Chen Shuda stared at Li Yuanji suspiciously, his eyes filled with the question "Is that so?"

On the other hand, Li Jing's heart stopped, and he wanted to vomit blood. His eyes widened slightly, and he looked straight at Li Yuanji.

Your Highness!Didn't you just say that? !

Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open without covering up, and without shy away from the person involved? !

"Sure?"

Chen Shuda walked to the center of the hall with a face full of doubts.

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation, and at the same time gave Li Jing a wink.

Not to mention how depressed Li Jing was, but he had to cooperate with Li Yuanji. Who let Li Yuanji hold the neck of his fate?
"Yes, right now is a good time to conquer the Turks. If we miss this time, if we want to conquer the Turks in the future, I'm afraid we will have to pay a huge price!"

Li Jing took a deep breath, and after trying to make his expression serious, he spoke solemnly.

Li Yuanji nodded seriously again, with a look of 'that's what Li Jing told me'.

Chen Shuda didn't doubt him, let go of his doubts, walked up to Li Jing and frowned and said, "Li Bingbu, how did you judge that now is a good time to conquer the Turks?"

Li Jing raised his head and said solemnly: "Right now, Jieli and Suni have lost their fight, and both sides are hurting each other. When they are licking each other's wounds, the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks have retreated to the west of the East Turks, and they are about to give up supporting Jieli at any time. Tuyuhun ten Li Shiji set up an ambush to kill 8000 troops in Baiyangdao, and captured more than [-] people. There was no spare energy to rush to help Jieli.

Now the Turks are in the winter season, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, it is difficult for vehicles and horses to move, and the severe cold is raging, so the two sides have to strike again.

But when the spring of next year begins, when the vegetation will turn green, the river will thaw, and the cattle and sheep will rejuvenate, the two sides will start a new round of war.

At that time, without the support of Western Turks and Tuyuhun, Xieli might fall into decline against Sunishi. "

Chen Shuda roughly guessed what Li Jing was going to say, and couldn't help but said: "My Tang Dynasty can also give up continuing to provide Suni with various armaments and supplies, and at the same time, I can withdraw King Xiangyi and Cao Guogong."

Li Jing shook his head slightly and said: "It's too late. After Sunis lost two big defeats to Jieli, the general situation has been achieved, and the morale of the soldiers and horses under his command is high. Even if we give up providing them with various armaments and supplies and withdraw to King Xiangyi And Mr. Cao, when the spring of next year begins, Suni will still defeat Jieli again with great momentum.

On the other hand, Xieli, after getting the support of Western Turks and Tuyuhun, not only failed to take down Suni, but suffered consecutive defeats in Suni's hands, causing him to lose troops, as well as Western Turks and Tuyuhun. Once the Western Turks and the Tuyuhun tribe retreated, the morale of Xieli's soldiers and horses would probably fall to the bottom.

At that time, when Suni Shi hit him with momentum, Xieli would most likely be completely defeated by Suni Shi.

Once Sunis is allowed to defeat Jieli and annex all the soldiers and horses under Jieli's command, then Sunis will inevitably become the new Khan of East Turks.

At that time, what we need to face is a complete Turkic, not a Turkic that is divided into two as it is now. "

Chen Shuda frowned all of a sudden, and said: "I remember that Suni Shi has never been an opponent of Xieli, and he gained a firm foothold under Xieli's hands only after he got the support of my Tang Dynasty.

Once he lost my support from Datang, how could he be Xieli's opponent? "

Li Jing shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't know that the soldiers are fighting with power. If the powerful attack the weak, not only can you win the battle, but you can also defeat the strong with the weak. Like the Battle of Kunyang in the Xinhan period.

Fighting the powerful against the powerless, even if there are many soldiers and generals, there is a great possibility of a disastrous defeat, just like the battle of Hulaoguan in the four years of Wude.

Right now, Suni is gaining power and Jieli is losing power.

Therefore, if Suni misses Xieli, there is a great possibility that he will win. "

Li Jing said this very bluntly, and bluntly said that Chen Shuda didn't understand military affairs and was an amateur in military affairs.

This statement is actually misleading.

It's not that Chen Shuda is ignorant of military affairs. On the contrary, he has a good understanding of military strategy. When Chen died, he led troops in Danyang to fight against the army of the former Sui Dynasty.

When Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and led the army to attack Jiangjun, he also supported his troops to defend himself. Although he finally offered the city and surrendered, his arrangement in Jiangjun was appreciated by Li Yuan.

He just hadn't fought any big battles, and he didn't have much reputation. In addition, he focused more on civil affairs, so his military talent was not outstanding. The previous kings didn't think about letting him lead the army to fight, and kept him as a civil servant.

So it is accurate to say that he is not proficient in military strategy, but it is not accurate to say that he is not proficient in military affairs.

However, Chen Shuda was not angry because of this, nor did he even feel any dissatisfaction.

Because the person who said that was Li Jing.

A person who has already proved his military ability through various military exploits, a person with the talent of a commander, a military strategist who is not only qualified to say that the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty are incomprehensible in military affairs, but also qualified to say that most of the military officials in the Tang Dynasty are incomprehensible in military affairs .

So people say this kind of thing not to humiliate people, but to make a very pertinent evaluation.

Chen Shuda nodded, and said seriously: "I don't know anything about military affairs, but I know that my Tang Dynasty is now in a state of ruins, and when I was recuperating, I rashly raised troops against the Turks and started a big war. Tens of thousands of people, counting ten Thousands of people, or even millions of people, are involved in it, which is extremely detrimental to Datang."

Li Jing stood up and retorted: "How could it be disadvantageous?! The Turks are our Great Tang's great enemy, they have invaded our Great Tang several times, and have blood feuds with our Great Tang.

Only by pacifying the Turks can avenge this bloody sea of ​​blood.

The Turks are also the greatest threat to our Tang Dynasty. If the Turks are not eliminated, our Tang Dynasty will be in trouble for a day. The border residents of our Tang Dynasty must always be on guard against the Turkic invasion of the south.

Those poor people have to guard against the Turkic looting at all times.

So the Turks must be conquered. "

Before Chen Shuda could speak, Li Jing said a little excitedly: "I don't know if Mr. Chen has been to Turkic, and have you seen what the people of Tang Dynasty look like after being plundered to Turkic.

Anyway, I have been there and seen it.

It's hard to describe it in four words: miserable.

Today, there are still 30 Tang people in Turkic territory who need our rescue.

If we were a moment late, thousands or even tens of thousands of them would have died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Turks. "

When Chen Shuda heard this, his brows were almost wrinkled, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, with a gleam in his eyes, "There are really 30 people?"

Chen Shuda knew what the people of the Tang Dynasty, to be precise, the Han people lived after being plundered to the Turks.

He is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Even though he has never been to Turkic, he has learned about the current situation in Turkic through the documents sent back by Tang Jian and others during their missions.

Knowing that those Han people who were looted by the Turks lived worse than cattle and horses.

In the past, Datang was powerless and unable to save them, so he could only sigh.

He thought that after so many years, those people would have been slaughtered by the Turks long ago, but he didn't expect that there were still 30 people alive.

It's not that he is cold-blooded and doesn't care about the lives of those people.

Rather, he understands the way the Turkic people treat those Han people, and knows that those Han people will not live long in the hands of the Turkic people, so he does not have any expectations for how much those Han people can survive.

Now hearing Li Jing say that there are 30, his heart starts to beat.

Jump!

Li Jing took a deep breath, closed his eyes and regretted, "Ever since Emperor Yangdi's three campaigns against Goguryeo failed, the Turkic people began to plunder southward. Now more than ten years have passed, and the Turkic people have almost robbed the people of more than a dozen states in the north. Swept away.

Zhu Jie, Liu Heita and others drove the people to the Turkic people. Do you think there are 30 people in the Turkic people? "

Chen Shuda clenched his fists at some point, breathed heavily and said, "I heard that the Turkic people treat those common people like cattle and horses. So many years have passed, and there are still 30 people alive?"

These words sound harsh, but Li Jing knew that Chen Shuda was not cursing those Han people to death, but that he did not have any expectations for the Turkic people, and did not believe that the Turkic people would be merciful to those Han people.

Li Jing sighed: "In the past, Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao were protecting each other, and later Yang Zhengdao persuaded them, and managed to save some people. However, after I raided the Turkic royal court, Jieli ordered people to drive them to a higher place. went north..."

Li Jing didn't say the rest.

The place where the Turks are located is already considered the north for the Tang Dynasty, and it is already considered a relatively bitter cold place, and it will only be more bitter and cold if it is further north, and the living environment will only be worse.

It is impossible for the Turks to equip those Han people with warm clothes, so they can only rely on their bodies to resist the severe cold and various harsh living environments.

After two years, no one knows how much is left.

That is to say, when Li Jing went to raid the Turkic royal court, he was charged with a heavy responsibility. After the raid on the Turkic royal court, there were important things to send back. People can also save some of them.

"Maybe this conquest of the Turks will save them?"

Chen Shuda looked at Li Jing and said in a deep tone.

Li Jing said without hesitation: "One hundred thousand soldiers, all food and grass are ready, let's go down with one drum!"

Throughout the annals of history, there are only a few people like Wang Jian, Han Xin, Huo Qubing and others who have dared to make such a bold statement before starting a war.

Others have said it, but that's bragging.

People say it can be done.

Wang Jian likes to use a large army to suppress the border and use more troops to kill the enemy, so he dared to say this.

Because he had taken advantage of the strength from the moment he set off.

Han Xin can fight and will fight. When he said such words, it meant that he was sure of victory, so he dared to say such words.

Because when he spoke, he had already concocted the enemy in his mind.

Huo Qubing was different.

Huo Qubing is purely what I think, I dare, and I can win.
