For King Luo Bin, seniors like Li Xiaogong... are still the strongest and top figures among the seniors in the army. They are naturally like gods. As for the story itself...
On the contrary, King Luo Bin really thought what Li Xiaogong said was right.
Because of this allusion, King Luo Bin also heard about it!
I heard it through hearsay while dealing with veterans in the army.
And among these hearsay contents, the version differences are quite large... some of them even have fantasy themes...
But in general the logic is similar to what Chai Shao said.
As for King Luo Bin's attitude... Although the contents of the various versions I heard before are different, the dates are almost the same, several years before the first year of Wude, and that was when the Tang army faced the most dangerous situation in the Zhulu War.
.
At that time, if Li Xiaogong really chose to kill the prisoners and continue fighting instead of being lenient and surrendering the "sect master tribe" behind him, then he would have felt strange.
After all... As Chai Shao mentioned Li Xiaogong's words, survival is the first priority, and only living people are qualified to act chivalrously and righteously.
...It's just that the story itself is not difficult to understand, but King Luo Bin looked at the veteran next to him with a stiff face, but his face looked a little surprised. To be honest...
King Luo Bin didn't quite understand what Chai Shao wanted to express when he told this story?...
If we are talking about the South China Sea, this story may be a little off topic... The situation in the South China Sea is far from the situation in the story.
After thinking about it, King Luo Bin frowned and said,
"I'm stupid, but although the countries in the South China Sea are not rich, they are located in a warm place after all, which is different from Mobei... Furthermore, these countries in the South China Sea have no such evil deeds as cannibalism, so we should use this as a basis.
Cutting it down, I’m afraid it’s a little strange…”
When asked by King Luo Bin, Chai Shao looked sideways with a funny look, "Where did you go, you idiot? The person who made this plan is also a young and talented person from the Tang Dynasty, and he is not
You idiot, how could you make such an obvious mistake?"
"Then this..."
Then King Luo Bin didn't quite understand the situation in front of him. Since he knew that many situations were different with the passage of time, wouldn't he be teasing the princes by doing something unnecessary? However, Chai Shao seemed to have expected that his adopted son would say this, so he stroked his beard slightly.
Smiling, "I'm asking you to figure out the truth in the story, not memorizing it mechanically!"
"Just think about it, the great Tang Dynasty that we have today is based on our strong martial virtues, but how can we say it is without strategy? Methods are the most important thing, you kid
Remember it."
"Waging is not a goal. Fighting is all about achieving a goal... Since it is to achieve a goal, if it can be achieved without fighting, it will naturally be achieved without fighting."
"Uh..." King Luo Bin was still a little confused, "But this and what I am waiting for..."
The moment King Luo Bin said "But this and", he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration flashing through his mind.
etc……
The next moment, King Luo Bin looked at Chai Shao and said with great curiosity, "My foster father said that we will lead the army to sea and there is no need to fight..."
Of course, King Luo Bin was not afraid of fighting. He only knew that he needed to lead troops with Chai Shao this time because the Tang Dynasty wanted to promote a thing called paper money and hoped that people all over the world would use it. And the story Chai Shao just told
, what he said...
Doesn’t this mean that if the Tang Dynasty can fight without losing any blood, it can make everyone in overseas countries use the Tang Dynasty’s banknotes?
However, although such things as magical calculations are mysterious, it is not easy to speculate... After all, I am also a scholar, and I think I am similar to Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms.
Now there may be something clever in this matter, how can people not be curious about it.
However, when King Luo Bin asked this question, Chai Shao pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know if the old man guessed it right...but it is indeed possible. I will wait until the general goes out and see what our coach says."
"Uh...yes, my child will obey."
King Luo Bin raised his eyebrows clearly, but he also said yes. Although he still didn't quite understand what the mystery was in this matter, since the person who made the decision, that is, the person who came out to control Tianzhu, had made a plan, the steward's heart
With this number, I really have nothing to worry about.
…
The army...is finally assembled.
The Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty.
The allied forces of the Southeast Asian countries.
The two armies, mighty and mighty, quietly confronted each other in the South China Sea, which was obviously very vast... The South China Sea, which was obviously very vast, now looked strangely cramped and narrow because of the two giant beasts that emerged from it.
Although the two armies cannot directly see each other, the sea level of the South China Sea is still quite wide. To put it bluntly... the horizons where the two fleets are located are intersecting. Even if telescopes are used on both sides, they will be stuck to each other.
not see.
But it gives people a sense of psychological oppression... and it also makes people feel that the two giant beasts seem to collide at any time. At this time...
Not only did the merchants of the Tang Dynasty no longer dare to sail overseas, but even the wild pirates that occasionally appeared along the trade routes disappeared without a trace.
There was total silence, and this was the situation.
Even the little ghost has already received the news. It is conceivable that the two kings of hell on both sides have also detected the information.
Especially in the area near Lingya Gate...
Lingyamen in the Southeast Diao was the first military town occupied by the Tang Dynasty when it entered the Southeast Diao. It has been cultivated for many years and has a population of tens of thousands. If you include the Xianbei people who were assigned as slaves here, it is more than
A scale of 200,000 people, and...
The population structure is astonishingly young. Once converted into military power, its explosive power is as high as that of a volcano.
Of course, due to population structure issues, these military towns are currently just... economic zones and cannot be transformed into military power.
And near Lingyamen Prefecture... In addition to the fields cultivated by the Tang Dynasty, of course there is also the land of the Southeast Asian countries themselves. Or rather, most of the current territory of the Southeast Asian countries is actually Siam, Luzon and other countries.
In this territory, Datang has not been operating for a long time.
At this moment, the king of Siam, the king of Luzon... as well as Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others boarded the ship and faced the sea.
A pair of eyes with gleaming light were staring at the military town of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the emotions in these eyes are different. For Wang Jing...the Li Tang Imperial Army on Lingyamen Island can be said to be lifelong enemies. Everyone will be manipulated by this foolish king Li Er. In the final analysis, they are just these fools.
The loyal fool supports Li Er.
But the eyes of the kings of Luzon, Siam, Champa... and other countries are somewhat different...
