Li Yuanxing and Li Er both had one thing in mind: profit.
The interests of the Seventh Family in Liaodong are too great. During spring plowing, they can throw seeds on the land they occupy. One person can manage more than a thousand acres of land, and the future harvest will be huge.
What's more, huge profits can be made from the trade of mountain goods and slaves.
Therefore, the Seventh Family absolutely supports the consolidation of Goguryeo, and precisely because of their support, they need stability from the Western Turks.
As for the rat-bitten military armor and rusty old weapons in the warehouse, that was a matter of heartache for Li Jing. Cui Junsu only cared about how much money he could get back to the Ministry of Revenue.
The Khitan people must have no silver or copper coins, so they would exchange goods for them.
Their goods need to be exchanged for money, so the process in the process is huge profits.
"If we leave for a few days tonight, no matter which city we attack, we will definitely suffer great damage. After I come up with a plan, it will not be too late to fight again!" Li Yuanxing indicated that the banquet can be held.
During the banquet, Khitan Khan and Mohe Khan kept whispering to Cui Junsu.
Li Yuanxing ate some and got up and went to the garden to get some fresh air. When he was young, Wang Jishan also went to the garden.
"Mr. Wang, take some medicine first. How about we have another argument today?" Li Yuanxing was sitting in the garden smoking. This opening statement really frightened Wang Jishan.
Recalling the time when he was fighting for the grain tax, Li Yuanxing was so angry that he almost lost his temper.
This time, I will definitely not quarrel with Li Yuanxing, and there is no need to quarrel.
"Your Highness wants to say that the Western Turks are visiting. The size of their personnel, the size of their fleet, and the gifts they have prepared. Anyone with eyes in the Tang Dynasty knows that they must be planning to propose a marriage. We are not the only ones who have distant relations and close attacks.
The Tang Dynasty could use it, and the Western Turks would also use it!"
Wang Jishan went directly to the topic, which also saved Li Yuanxing a lot of words.
"The benefits of getting married are huge." Li Yuanxing said with a smile.
Wang Jishan also smiled: "It's just that one can't be shameless, especially the face of the Tang Dynasty, the face of the Holy Emperor, and the face of His Highness King Qin!"
It seemed that the words of the two people should be reversed to make it normal. At this time, Wang Jishan was allowed to speak for Li Yuanxing.
However, we are all sensible people, so there is no need to beat around the bush.
"What does Mr. Wang think of Western Turks?" Li Yuanxing also went straight to the point.
Wang Jishan sat next to Li Yuanxing, took out a small silver wine bottle from his pocket, opened the bottle and said: "Tuyuhun, Uihe, Xue Yantuo and Tupan all have more or less hatred against the Western Turks. Especially the Western Turks.
It’s a tribe from the Eastern Turks, and it can be said that they have a grudge!”
Li Yuanxing nodded, thinking that these were similar to the records in history.
"But these are not annoyances. One of my caravans went a little further, and someone came back with news. They were cannibals. They are very powerful!"
Dashi is the Arab Empire, a very powerful empire with a land area larger than that of the Tang Dynasty at its peak.
"According to Wang Lao's thinking, can we form an alliance without women?" Li Yuanxing asked the key question.
Wang Jishan shook his head: "I think it is easiest to use women, and we can form an alliance immediately. However, there is one interest between countries. The next step is the art of negotiation. In the end, it is a great good thing to agree on the cotton matter.
.Otherwise, getting married is really the best idea!"
"The slap on my face was so hard!" Li Yuanxing smiled.
Wang Jishan also smiled: "What will your Highness do?"
"Three months, give me three months. No matter what, help me delay it for three months."
"Yes, but His Highness also has to make a promise to me. If the alliance cannot be successfully formed in three months, he must make a marriage. Your Highness needs to know that when the caravan goes west, the Western Turks must pass through, and there is a distance of five thousand miles that must be
We have to leave. So the stability of Western Turks is of great importance!"
What Wang Jishan said is the truth. If business channels are cut off at any time, the treasury will be empty.
Seeing Li Yuanxing nod, Wang Jishan continued: "Your Highness, do you know that in my Wang family, the coal is red-hot in my opinion? It is very hot and can easily burn people or even burn them to death. But I have to come next. This is
The reason for His Highness's conspiracy is very simple. I have a large family, and if I don't agree, I won't be able to face those nephews and nephews!"
Wang Jishan taught Li Yuanxing the hierarchy for the first time.
This time it is about the helplessness of being a parent.
Li Yuanxing was also the head of the family. The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty controlled at least 30% of the power of the Tang Dynasty and could not only seek his own pleasure.
Enough said here, they are all smart people.
"Mr. Wang, let me ask you a question. Do you dare to take back the wool of He's 10 million sheep and give them some weapons by the way?"
Wang Jishan did not answer immediately and was still thinking about this question.
"Let's see, Western Turks is a grand strategy. There should be a very complete plan. The four departments of Bing, Hu, Gong, and Li will select some talented people to study it, and then let Tianying Pavilion discuss it."
It seems that Wang Jishan is also undecided. After all, this matter is too complicated and there are too many factors to consider.
When preparing to go back to the house, Wang Jishan said again: "Your Highness, the treasury can provide you with food and grass for up to 50,000 horses for half a year, which is the limit. Therefore, if Goguryeo's expenses are huge, Your Highness should make adjustments, or make up for it yourself."
How about that part?”
"Okay, it's settled."
Wang Jishan is not only the Minister of Rites, but also the current head of Tianying Pavilion. His attitude can be regarded as representative of Tianying Pavilion.
The guests left one by one.
Li Jing has been sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. He doesn't understand what Li Yuanxing wants to see him for at night?
It is completely impossible to deal with the Western Turks. None of the troops, food, grass, and fighter planes are suitable. In the words of the Tang Dynasty, the weather, location, and people are not superior. To fight like this is to die!
Li Yuanxing entered the room and closed the door with his hand: "Let's talk first when Brother Tan comes!"
"Let's talk about things that have nothing to do with him first!" Li Jing's title of Military God was not for nothing. He didn't believe that it wasn't a little strange for Li Yuanxing to call him here at night, which itself was full of weirdness.
Li Yuanxing sat in front of Li Jing: "Brother Yao, which city has greater strategic significance, Liaoyuan or Jian'an?"
"Jian'an is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is a natural fortress. With a few thousand people, it can stop Goguryeo's army of one hundred thousand. Goguryeo needs a famous general with 20,000 elite troops. With one hundred thousand people,
At least half of them must die before we can capture this city. Does Goro say this city is important?"
Li Jing knew so much about Goryeo that he even knew the topography of a city when he mentioned it.
"I want it!" Li Yuanxing said directly.
"I want it too!" Li Jing responded tepidly.
"Khitan and Mohe have more than 200,000 combined troops and more than 100,000 elite troops. Hou Junji has 30,000 troops and Chai Shao has 50,000 troops. Together, they can call upon 30,000 elite troops. Our four guards of Tiance have 10,000 troops.
And I have a powerful siege weapon, but the only regret is that it is only enough for one violent attack."
The number Li Yuanxing talks about is confidence.
Li Jing remained expressionless and slowly raised his hand: "If Wu Lang agrees to certain three conditions, I will give you this city!"
"Senior Brother Yao, no matter what you ask, there is no problem even if you let me come to the front line in person!"
Li Jing smiled and shook his head: "The first condition is that the four guards of Tiance cannot be moved. They have not truly formed an army, but I want to pick some people to take with them as the leading generals. Especially your personal guard Yi Dao, but also
There’s that Pisces who has some success in archery, and that bow!”
"Promise, completely agree!" Li Yuanxing had no reason not to agree.
However, Li Yuanxing ignored something. Li Jing said that he wanted to take him away.
Next, Li Jing mentioned the second request: "Before the Turkic War, Wulang's sandbox was very clever. Can Jian'an City build another sandbox for me? Each sandbox can hold 30,000 Tang soldiers."
"I'm ready, just a little small!"
As for sandboxes, Li Yuanxing has compiled a set of sandboxes from almost all the countries around him that he wants to play. There are more than a dozen printed out, and you only need to go back to Qinwangzhuang to get them.
Li Jing stretched out his hand: "The last request is General Tiance's Mansion Tiger Talisman. I have to go and fight this in person!"
"No!" Li Yuanxing refused immediately. He just attacked a city and asked Li Jing to fight in person. This was nothing.
Li Jing did not give up: "Wulang give a certain reason?"
"I choose to let Su Dingfang go, or Hou Junji will be enough to take over this city."
Li Jing smiled: "Only someone is the most suitable to go. It doesn't matter who leads the army in name. Have Wulang ever thought about how long it will take to capture this city?"
Li Yuanxing shook his head, not understanding what Li Jing meant.
"Spring plowing, the Tang Dynasty is plowing in spring. Goryeo is also plowing in spring. This is when their military strength is at its weakest. Within a month, Turkic Jian'an will encounter the least resistance. If the arrangements are good enough, a total of 50,000 troops will be enough.
If the attack time is just right, Goguryeo will also help Datang plant some fields!"
Li Jing's explanation or not is of little significance.
Li Yuanxing had already agreed from the moment he said that no matter who was leading the army in name.
Speaking of being ruthless, Li Jing was also a ruthless person. Just as no one would have thought that Li Yuanxing would send troops to the Turks just after he ascended the throne of the Tang Dynasty, no one would have thought that Li Jing would personally lead the army and raid Goguryeo during spring plowing.
"Do it!" Li Yuanxing's words were equivalent to agreeing to Li Jing.
"Your Highness guards Chang'an. With Your Highness here, I can feel at ease when I go on an expedition!" Li Jing's words made Li Yuanxing understand. The reason why Tiance's four guards were not allowed to move was to allow him to guard Chang'an. Then, Li Jing might be able to defend Chang'an on the 12th.
Select some of the best among the guards to fight.
Li Yuanxing took out the document that was originally intended to be handed over to Brother Heitan, Yu Chigong, and handed it over to Li Jing. "Brother Yao, let's see if it will affect your expedition?"
Li Jing looked at it and gave Li Yuanxing a thumbs up: "I will dispatch someone for this matter!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
