The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 185 What is war
Tang Sufan threw back a sentence of chicken soup for the soul that he didn't understand, but it attracted all the big shots shouting for transcendence.

Several people were eating and drinking, and they were all important figures in the imperial court after all.

Unknowingly, this topic became a bit bigger.

Talking about the pros and cons of current affairs does not appear to be against peace.

While several people were discussing, at this moment Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and said something.

"Su Fan, if we go to war with the Turks now, what are the chances of winning?"

Regarding the opinion of the whole Tang Dynasty who Li Shimin most wants to hear, of course it is this kid's opinion.

Now Li Shimin has slowly developed Tang Sufan who is indecisive.

After all, it seems that there is no such kid who can't, doesn't understand.

As long as this kid said, there is a unique truth that ordinary people can't think of.

Tang Sufan, who was admiring the two little beauties across the table from the best angle, was taken aback for a moment, why did he turn around and ask himself what happened?
I'm still comparing the two girls...

Oh no, I'm looking at two girls who can drink better~
This old Li really knows how to choose the time.

Tang Sufan picked up a minced roast chicken that had just been served, and casually replied, "It's a miserable victory..."

"Tragic victory? Why? Now I heard that there is civil strife in Beimo. Huihe, Xueyantuo, Bayegu and other tribes are all dissatisfied with Jieli's expropriation. Don't you think this is an opportunity? If the time is right, my Tang Tiejun will go out and fight in one fell swoop." Breaking through the Turks is not impossible~"

Seeing Lao Li's serious expression, Tang Sufan casually complained while picking up the skewers.

"Lao Li, you don't know anything about military affairs. You, a businessman, said this in front of two great generals, don't you think it's tricky? You haven't entered the imperial court yet, don't you think about it all day long?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's face darkened, but he immediately relieved. Anyway, he was used to being bullied by this kid, and he developed resistance unconsciously.

I still don't understand military affairs?

When I led the soldiers to fight, I'm afraid you were still peeing and muddy~
Li Xiaogong was embarrassed for a while, this is not very good, we two courtiers still dare not say that we are better than His Majesty.

But why does it sound so comfortable~
Weird~
Tang Sufan grinned, and asked Li Shimin, "Che, you're still not convinced, so what is war? Tell me..."

Li Shimin snorted and laughed coldly, this kid, can't he ask some advanced questions?

"In war, you are strong and I win. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. It is controlled by strategy, with the strength of soldiers, and the end is conquered!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, pondered for a while, and gave an answer that he thought was high-end.

Who knew, Tang Sufan just glanced at him lightly after hearing this, and then said something.

"wrong~"

"War is nothing more than the continuation of politics. It is the plunder of resources. It is the most face-saving violent method among political methods!"

Several people stared at each other, listened to the boy's words carefully for a long time, and their minds became clear.

It seems to be the case. This kid's conclusion is the meaning of war.

Isn't war often rooted in politics?

And only Yu Chigong was the most unhappy. Isn't war just war?It's life and death, where do so many flowers come from?
It can be seen that His Majesty and this old man are contemplating, is it right?
Although I don't understand, but I can't reveal the fact that I don't understand, I also pretend to be thoughtful~
Seeing the enlightened expressions of a few people, I'm the only one who can fool a few veteran bosses into this.

Tang Sufan couldn't help but feel a little complacent, feeling like the keyboard man was starting his class.

"A war is not only a life-and-death struggle, but also a struggle of comprehensive national strength, which includes resources, military strength, ideology, people's livelihood, etc., Lao Li, just listen to what we talk about, although you must understand now , but it also increases knowledge~”

Halfway through Tang Sufan's words, he didn't forget to mention (diss) Li Shimin on the side.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he really wanted to turn the table over for a showdown.

I am the emperor!
I can't even understand it, so they can understand it?

Sitting at the end of the table, Li Lirou couldn't help pursing her lips for a moment, when had she ever seen her father look like this...

"Su Fan, please tell me your opinion. Although we have fought in the battlefield, we still want to hear your opinion~"

Li Xiaogong said quickly.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong has spoken, Tang Sufan doesn't have to worry about being embarrassed by bragging.

Afterwards, Tang Sufan thought for a while and talked eloquently.

"Wars naturally have a purpose, whether it's grievances or hatred, or conquering judgments, or plundering, etc., no matter what, you must be prepared and predict..."

"The judgment of the situation in other countries, the current affairs of the world, even the judgment of various situations, you can't be like Lao Li, a businessman, who is unprepared and directly sticks his neck to fight with a martial arts practitioner? You can't win~ "

Li Shimin lay down helplessly.

"I believe that our Majesty's attack on the Turks will not be a shame. It is so simple to avenge Xieli, but the emperor's vision is not so simple~"

Li Shimin blushed immediately, and slightly covered his face with his hands.

I really think so...

Feeling guilty and embarrassed for a while.

"War is just a continuation of politics. The land of Mobei is vast and extremely cold. If you want to fully include it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will cost a lot of material resources and manpower!"

"Therefore, it is necessary to attack the Turks. Our emperor's goal should be to completely pacify Mobei, so as to maintain the peace of the border for more than ten years, and win precious opportunities for the development of the Tang Dynasty. The shame of Weishui in the past was just a matter of convenience—"

Anyway, I don't know what Li Er thinks, anyway, that's how the "A Brief History of the Tang Dynasty" in my mind is recorded.

In the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin decided to attack the Turks in order to stabilize the situation in Mobei!
However, although Tang Sufan felt that the dog emperor Li Er just wanted to beat Jieli, but in front of these big bosses who judge the situation, it is still necessary to speak nicely~
Sure enough, Li Xiaogong and others subconsciously glanced at Li Shimin, but still put on a show and nodded solemnly.

Li Shimin, who was sitting by the side, was even more embarrassed, and couldn't help but hastened to drink osmanthus wine to cover up.

"All in all, it's just a real job with real knives and guns."

"But our Tang army has been in the Central Plains for a long time. Compared with the Turkic people, the weather outside the pass is the biggest resistance. Sometimes it is just natural disasters, and our army will face annihilation!"

Speaking of this, Tang Sufan put away his casual expression, any war is worth sighing, it is the burial of countless lives.

This war is only because of the severe cold weather.

Nearly [-]% of Tang's soldiers were lost, and most of the surviving ones were left with irreparable frostbite. Many people's toes, fingers, and even the soles of their feet were frozen, and many people suffered from snow blindness. .

I have suffered all my life.

Although the result of this war is a victory, it can only be regarded as a miserable victory.

"And the Turkic people's control of the terrain, coupled with the use of the local current situation, even if we have a strong army, but once we reach the plateau, it is not just as simple as fighting."

"It's a contest with life!"

When Tang Sufan said this, countless people sighed, that's true.

Although they continue to analyze the current situation of our Tang Dynasty, how strong our troops are, and what strategies we have against the enemy.

But war is war after all!
It is the death of life that can be exchanged for conquest.
