Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 316 Regret
The most important point is, if Chu Suiliang went to the Liangyi Hall at this time, how would they know that the emperor secretly summoned the generals.

This does not mean that his eldest grandson Wuji's eyeliner was exposed in the palace. The emperor was furious and would definitely carry out a big cleansing.

At that time, how could his eldest grandson Wuji know the movement in the palace immediately, which is also one of the important reasons why eldest grandson Wuji stopped Chu Suiliang.

"Then Taiwei, what do you think we should do now?" Chu Suiliang asked, not letting him go, what if the emperor really sent troops to Tubo in spite of everything?
"Wait!" Changsun Wuji said.

"Wait?" Chu Suiliang and the others asked in confusion. They originally thought that Changsun Wuji could come up with a good solution, but in the end they asked them to wait.

"That's right! Just wait, if His Majesty wants to send troops to Tubo, he must issue an edict and a talisman, which must pass through our hands. At that time, we can use this to refute, and then advise His Majesty, asking His Majesty to take back the order."

"Without the edict and the military talisman, it is impossible for His Majesty to mobilize the army. Even if His Majesty insists on going his own way, we can delay it." Changsun Wuji said.

If you want to mobilize the government soldiers to go out, you must meet two conditions, the edict and the fish talisman used for mobilizing troops, both of which are indispensable.

"However, most of the officials in the Ministry of War are His Majesty's people. Wouldn't it be easy for His Majesty to obtain the fish charm?" Chang Sun Chong said.

In order to be able to firmly control the military power in Li Chengqian's hands, the officials of the Ministry of War were basically replaced by his confidantes, and the fish charm was naturally what he wanted to get.

"Even if His Majesty can obtain the fish talisman, it is impossible to mobilize the army without the edict. We can work hard on the edict." Changsun Wuji said.

As long as the Menxia Province fails to pass the review, the edict cannot be issued, and the emperor still cannot mobilize the army to go out.

Even if the emperor has a military talisman, so what, his subordinate, the eldest son Wuji, can still speak, as long as he does not sign the edict, the edict will not take effect.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Ji, Li Ke, Xue Rengui and others gathered together, waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.

"In the early dynasty, I proposed to send troops to Tubo. What is your attitude? Do you want to send troops to attack Tubo like me?" Li Chengqian said straight to the point, he wanted to kill Tubo.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they guessed that the emperor's summoning was for Tubo's affairs, they did not expect the emperor to speak out.

What exactly did Tubo do to make the emperor bear such a grudge that he had to destroy the other party.

"Your Majesty! My brother thinks that it is not time to fight against Tubo. Tubo and my Tang Dynasty are relatives by marriage, and even a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"If Your Majesty sends troops to crusade against the vassal states without a reason, everyone in the other vassal states will be in danger, and it may even cause Tubo to unite with the countries of the Western Regions to fight against our Tang Dynasty." Li Ke was the first to speak.

Li Ke's meaning is nothing more than a cliché, sending troops to attack Tubo without righteousness in hand is an unrighteous act. The Tang Dynasty was an unnamed army and would be resisted by many people.

Li Chengqian ignored Li Ke, looked at Li Ji and the others, and waited for them to speak.

"Your Majesty! I also think that now is not the time to crusade against Tubo, please think twice, Your Majesty." Li Ji was the second to speak.

"Why? Also because of injustice?" Li Chengqian asked, and Li Chengqian had to pay attention to Li Ji's words.

"This is absolutely not my intention! To tell you the truth, the old minister has been to the territory of Tubo, and the environment there is different from my Central Plains."

"If my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not fully prepared, I am afraid that we will not be able to attack Luosuo. The soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty will not be able to adapt to the environment there in such a short period of time."

"Once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrive in Tubo, it is very likely that most of them will have headaches, dizziness and other conditions."

"At that time, our army will lose its combat effectiveness. If Tubo takes the opportunity to counterattack, our army will be powerless to resist."

"That's why the old minister objected to His Majesty sending troops to attack Tubo now." Li Ji said.

Li Chengqian knew that what Li Ji was talking about was altitude sickness. Indeed, this was the biggest nemesis of the Tang army, otherwise Tubo would have been crushed to powder by the Tang Dynasty early on.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian had already made preparations and sent Cheng Wuting to lead troops to station on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as long as the [-] soldiers and horses in his hands could adapt to the plateau environment.

The extermination of Tubo is just around the corner, but I don't know what's going on with Cheng Wuting!

"I have known what you said for a long time, but if Tubo is not eliminated, it will definitely become a serious problem for Datang's confidantes, and it will definitely bring disaster to the border of Datang."

"That's when I thought that Tubo Zanpu had just passed away, and Xin Zanpu was young, so he took the opportunity to send troops to eliminate Tubo, so as to avoid future troubles." Li Chengqian said.

These people don't understand the power of Tubo now, and they think Tubo is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and they dare not challenge the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Chengqian knew the power of Tubo, especially Lu Dongzan and his son, who were the leading figures in Tubo.

Even people like Xue Rengui were planted in the hands of Lu Dongzan's son, Lun Qinling. The defeat of the Dafeichuan War caused the Tang Dynasty to lose control of the Western Regions.

If it weren't for the fact that generals such as Hei Chi Changzhi stood out later, defeated Tubo, and regained control of the Western Regions, the Western Regions would have been under Tubo's control all along.

It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to recapture the four towns of Anxi.

"Your Majesty! Now that Tubo is surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, it is unfair for us to send troops. The environment on the Tubo plateau is not conducive to our army."

"Except for the weather, Tubo occupies a favorable location and people, this battle is not good for our army." Xue Rengui said.

The meaning is already very clear, sending troops to attack Tubo this time will not work at all, because Tubo occupies a favorable location and harmonious people.

But they don't occupy anything on their side. If they send troops to attack Tubo regardless, they will inevitably be opposed by many people.

After all, Li Chengqian was trying to bully the orphans and widows, and he did not offend you.

Are you using such unscrupulous means?
This made the various ethnic groups around the Tang Dynasty think about whether they would become the next Tubo.

"I know what you mean. It's because I didn't think carefully. Let's stop here today!" Li Chengqian said.

"The ministers will leave!" Everyone stood up, saluted and retreated.

Li Chengqian looked at the leaving figures of the people, and was not sad, although he was a little regretful that he did not take the opportunity to send troops to Tubo.

But as they said, it may not be the best time to send troops to Tubo now, let's not talk about the legitimate issue.

As far as environmental and other issues are concerned, they cannot be overcome in a short period of time, although the current overall strength of the Tang Dynasty is good!

But still can't ignore altitude sickness, which is a shortcoming of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, Tubo would have been wiped out long ago.
