Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 691
And Datang is also holding a military meeting here.

The participants included Taiwei Guo Jing, Concubine Yang Chan, Emperor Li Qingwei, Supreme Emperor Li Qinglong, Chariot General Wang Ping, and Xiaoqi General Yang Yong.And Prime Minister Zhuge Qingyun.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their topic today was their future military goals.

The generals, including Guo Jing, advocated a temporary recuperation.

But Zhuge Qingyun, as the head of civil servants, held the opposite opinion.

Zhuge Qingyun stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it now. Although our army is now few in number, our morale is winning. Now we should continue to expand our victories and reach the point of 'supporting war with war'. Today My Datang’s finances are facing exhaustion, although plundering is not the right way, but it is the only feasible way for us at present.”

Li Qingwei said: "I will take care of this matter, but now that the soldiers are tired, we may not be able to fight any more."

Guo Jing also said at this time: "Master Prime Minister, our soldiers have just experienced a great battle, and the victory in the west has not yet been consolidated. It would be tantamount to 'militarism'. From a military point of view, is it a bit eager for quick success? .”

Zhuge Qingyun shook his head at this time and said: "Lord Taiwei's words are wrong. Now we have shaken the invincible authority of the Mongols. Now is a good opportunity to recover other lost lands, and we are not from an unknown teacher, saying that the Mongols are treacherous. , Attacking the capital of the Tang Dynasty. At present, people in the world are fluctuating, and everyone has shaken the dominance of the Mongols. If we raise troops to recover the lost Han land at this time, other Han people will respond to us immediately."

"If we miss this opportunity of great victory and let the Mongols stabilize again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to easily recover our homeland. Now we are making great efforts to conquer the east and the north, and the world will definitely respond. And the Mongols experienced before The defeat has already been frightened, and I am afraid that their will to resist will not be very firm. If we promise some benefits to the Jurchens at this time, and then unite with them to beat the 'reserved dogs', then the Mongolian army in the Central Plains will be completely wiped out by us."

After thinking for a while, Li Qing said, "What will the Jurchens do after that?"

Zhuge Qingyun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Jurchens are just a disease of scabies. As long as the Mongols are driven out of Shanhaiguan, the Jurchens can still become a barrier for us. After that, we will have the strength to recruit Dali and take down Tubo. Annex the Song Dynasty. As long as we take back all the Han land and dominate the world, and then carry out a comprehensive integration of resources, we can go out and completely eliminate the Mongols and Jurchens in one fell swoop."

Guo Jing said at this time: "Since we have expelled these barbarians from the Han land, why do we need to kill them all? Besides, there is no difference between us, why should we favor one over another?"

After listening to Guo Jing's words, Zhuge Qingyun turned around and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. We didn't kill them all, but if we don't put them out, they will be revived in the future."

Li Qinglong also looked at Li Qingwei who was sitting on the dragon chair at this time, and he said: "Qingwei, the words of Guo Taiwei, who is my father, are justified. We can drive these alien races out of the Central Plains. Why bother to resort to violence and kill them?" What about killing them all?"

Li Qingwei remained silent at this time.

Zhuge Qingyun also looked at Li Qingwei.

Zhuge Qingyun leaned over and said: "The minister has dragged out the plan, how to proceed, please ask your majesty to judge."

Li Qingwei stood up and said: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. If we don't cut the grass and roots, we will surely resurgence in the future. Besides, we are the Great Tang, not the Great Song. Today's grasslands, Liaodong, and even the Western Regions are all my Great Tang's territory. It’s not them barbarians. Now we are just recovering the homeland of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, the territory of the Mongol Empire is huge. I believe that everyone here is more clear than me. If we don’t complete our efforts in one battle, we will be revived in the future, and our descendants Presumably they will not be their opponents."

"However, the prime minister's plan has been adjusted. The Southern Song Dynasty does not have to worry about it now. It has become my pocket. Our current goal is here."

Then Li Qingwei picked up a bamboo pole and pointed to a location.

After seeing it, Guo Jing and the others were all taken aback.

He is too familiar with that place, he grew up there.There is a big tent with a golden roof.The Land of Longxing in Mongolia.

After reading it, Zhuge Qingyun said: "However, if we want to sneak attack on the Jinding tent, our military strength cannot be achieved at present, and we do not have an organized cavalry unit. Now the land of Hebei has not been recovered, and we can only attack from the north. Chang'an takes Yan'an Road, we have no way to attack the Golden Roof Tent from such a long distance."

Li Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Our goal is the Golden Roof Tent, but we don't need to sneak attack him. What we want is to attract a decisive battle. As long as we eliminate more than 20 main forces of the Mongolian Empire's Western Expedition, then The Mongol Empire itself will collapse. It won’t matter whether we wipe out the Mongols or not.”

Li Qingwei looked at Guo Jing at this time, and he said: "Guo Taiwei, what we have to do now is to eliminate the main force of Mongolia and eliminate their threat to us. No one will kill ordinary Mongolians. Master Taiwei now Master Taiwei must be well aware of the discipline of my Tang army in charge of the military power of the whole country."

Guo Jing cupped his hands and said, "I understand this point. I just hope that His Majesty treats people of all ethnic groups well."

Li Qingwei replied: "As long as you are willing to learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and uphold our Central Plains culture, you will no longer be so cruel and unreasonable. Both Mongols and Jurchens are the people of my Tang Dynasty. The brutality of the Mongols is beyond compare. Guo Taiwei was the Generalissimo of the Western Expedition under the command of Genghis Khan, so he naturally knows more clearly than me, a junior."

Guo Jing was lost in thought at this moment, and sweat overflowed from his face.

Back then, he led a group of Mongolian wild wolves, together with his master Jebe, to capture the Jade Dragon Jiechi and Samarkan in Khwarazmo.The miserable world there is still fresh in his memory, and the purgatory-like crimes will even appear in his dreams.

He even often dreamed that those undead who died tragically under the Mongolian butcher's knife came to him to ask for their lives.

For this, Guo Jing fell into deep self-blame, and he felt that he was responsible for everything.

Li Qingwei knew that Guo Jing had always been brooding over the tragedy of Khwarazmo, so he purposely used this sentence to stimulate him, making him give up the kindness of a fearless woman and help him with all his heart.Assist the newborn Datang.

After all, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general.

It's hard to find a general, let alone the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Li Qingwei looked around at the audience.

Zhuge Qingyun can be regarded as a combination of Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.

Although his father, Li Qinglong, was also a battle-tested warrior, he was too cautious. He was safe as a city defender, but he couldn't be the commander of the three armies. He couldn't seize fleeting opportunities.

As for Uncle Wang Ping, although he has strategy, he lacks some strategy. He can be used as support, but he can't be the coach.

Although his father-in-law Yang Yong is a titan, he is brave and intrepid. He can be a vanguard general, but he can't be a handsome man.

As for Yang Chan beside her, although she is a growth type, she still lacks actual combat experience.And Li Qingwei didn't really want her to take risks by herself.

Involving women in war is itself a sign of cowardice.
