Queen Changsun was excited when she heard Li Er's tone, and the words and sentence patterns used in his words were also somewhat different, yet seemed familiar.
An idea flashed in my mind, and I suddenly thought of this possibility.
Li Er smiled sheepishly,
"You are right, all of this was really given to me by Sheng'er!"
"Hmph, I knew you didn't have the immortal roots. If you want to surpass the Han Dynasty, I think you have to rely on Sheng'er!"
"That's, that's...hahahaha!"
Li Er became more and more excited,
Then, he said again.
"So, you see. The morale of the military is the morale of the people. If the morale of the military must be stable and the fighting power must be sufficient, then the people will have a good life and be able to raise horses. Therefore, exploitation will definitely not work. I am afraid it will only create some seemingly powerful ones."
Infantry. However, the issue of reducing the vassal state is related to the country's foundation and the risk is also high."
"If you do it well, you will be one emperor for eternity, such as Gao Zu and Han Wu. If you do it badly, you will be the two emperors Huan Ling. If you fail to cut down the feudal vassal, you will be labeled as a gullible eunuch."
"This time...I didn't know how to deal with people like Wu Xingqiwang. Maybe I really have to...fight again!"
"But in the end...hahahahahaha, I won!"
"Today I can make them submissive, and tomorrow I will be able to level all these powerful mountains for him! In the future, I will achieve great feats and be as powerful as the Han Dynasty. It will not be a problem!"
At this time, it was only the second year of Zhenguan, the Turks were still rampant, and Goguryeo was still powerful.
The aristocratic family is still arrogant.
But Li Er, as a person who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles,
A few days ago, the battle had revealed the weakness of the family and the dawn of success in reducing the vassal...
…
The next day, Li Er finished the morning court early and then left the palace incognito.
Three generals, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Li Jing, were invited to come out.
Li Er was smiling and in a good mood, and even poured wine for the three of them himself, which made the three of them panic and bewildered.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? If you have an order, just say it directly. Are we going to push through all the obstacles?"
Qin Qiong is an honest person. When he saw Li Er acting like this, he immediately waved his hand to express his disapproval.
Li Er laughed and said, "It's true of you. If I am to be more polite to you, does it mean that there must be hard work? Can't it just be that you are in a good mood?"
"Uh..." Qin Qiong remembered what happened outside the Zhuque Gate a few days ago, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Yuchi Gong was even more delighted.
He just likes to see these high-ranking children of aristocratic families being defeated!
In the eyes of these two people, Li Er was a good emperor. As long as Li Er won, it would be a good thing.
Then, Li Er changed the subject, looked at Li Jing and said suddenly,
"But your guess is right, Uncle Bao. I asked you to come out because there is indeed something to do."
"Your Majesty, tell me!"
"Your Majesty gives you whatever orders you want, and I will not hesitate even to the death!"
Li Er nodded with a smile, and then lightly stated his plan this time.
"That's good."
"I want to disarm."
…
"disarmament?"
"Disarmament... disarmament???"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were immediately stunned.
The two looked at each other, then looked at Li Er in shock, frowning.
"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"
"Your Majesty, you all call me Yuchi, the old devil. I don't know many things, but Your Majesty...well, since there are so many traitors and traitors who are disobedient, shouldn't we have as many troops as possible?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is here. Besides, the Turks have become more and more rampant in recent years, and Goguryeo considers itself orthodox and wants to compete with the Tang Dynasty. How can we achieve disarmament at this time?"
Li Er smiled.
Look at Li Jing.
"Disarmament is impossible. I thought so too a few days ago. But... Li Jing, come and talk to them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Jing looked at Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, considered it and said,
"I think this issue lies with your Majesty... Young Master is right, so..."
"Shubao, Jingde, let me ask you a question first."
"If you are the commander-in-chief, would you like to have a hundred Liao Hua or Huo Qubing under your command?"
"Liao Hua or Huo Qubing?"
"Liao Hua, Huo Qubing?"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong looked at each other with no doubts in their eyes.
Anyone who has ever led a soldier knows that there is no choice in this question, there is only one answer.
"There is no need to choose, it must be Huo Qubing!"
"One Huo prostitute and Yao, not to mention a hundred Liao Hua, even a thousand are probably not enough to fight. What options are there?"
The two of them said in unison, they both chose Huo Qubing!
Then... a little confused, he discovered that Li Er and Li Jing showed a strange smile at the same time.
It seems that it has been expected for a long time.
In fact, these two people naturally didn't know that when Li Sheng told them about this matter, they actually had the same reaction...
"That's it, the battlefield is like this. One hundred and eighty mediocre people are not as good as one general. Shan Yu's one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were rushed to pieces by Huo Yao's hundreds of cavalry. This is what Your Majesty and I are going to say today. It’s about that.”
"Disarmament is only a means, not an end. The purpose of disarmament is to save money and food and build a more powerful elite army!"
"Building an elite army? But... ah."
Qin Qiong was about to ask a question when he suddenly came to his senses.
Yuchi Gong's eyes widened as he thought of the answer.
"Your Majesty said... that you want to change all the armies into black armor armies?!"
"This...this is worth considering!"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong immediately clapped their hands and said yes, because they were both transformed into Xuanjia troops and wore Mingguang armor, so their combat power was indeed completely different!
But then they thought about it and still felt that it was not very reliable.
Li Er and Li Jing didn't say anything. They just wanted to eliminate all doubts now and then execute the plan later.
"But if we change them all into the Xuanjia Army... Well, these 500,000 infantry troops and 50,000 horse troops are all changed into the Xuanjia Army. I'm afraid all the cavalry troops will be laid off, and... the three thousand Xuanjia Army will become tens of thousands. , I think it should be hundreds of thousands. This increase in combat power... seems not enough to offset the impact of disarmament."
Qin Qiong thought about it and said this.
Li Er and Li Jing smiled. They were really amazing. They said the same to Li Sheng at the beginning!
Yuchi Gong thought about it and felt it was unreliable.
"Your Majesty, Brother Pharmacist, don't blame me for speaking frankly, I don't think it's okay!"
"Even if there are about 100,000 Xuanjia troops, they are not elite enough to defeat 500,000 infantry troops and 50,000 horse troops."
Then, Yuchi Gonghe
"Haha... you are right." Li Jing smiled slightly, but shook his head.
"But there is a problem. It is not to be transformed into a Black Armor Infantry Army, but a Black Armor Horse Army!"
"Xuanjia Horse Army? Then...the number is probably only seventy or eighty thousand. What...what can this be used for?"
When Qin Qiong heard that it was actually the Black Armor Horse Army, he suddenly felt bad.
"I'm afraid something is going to go wrong!"
"Your Majesty, Medicine General, think twice!"
After all, the Tang Dynasty was a big country. Is this number used to stuff the teeth of the Turks?
