Chapter 89 Take the initiative to fight the Turks?
"Your Majesty, if the entire weapon is made of fine iron and its weight is doubled, we might be able to give it a try. But if it is the weapon we use on a daily basis, it will definitely not work."
Qin Qiong didn't care whether Li Er was joking or not. Anyway, with his character, he would always be serious when talking to His Majesty.
See Qin Qiong's serious answer.
Li Er smiled.
"That's it."
"You guys are the strongest generals in our Tang Dynasty, and you are the ones with the highest martial arts skills in our Tang Dynasty."
"But even you can't break a large stone weighing less than a hundred kilograms."
"But if I tell you..."
"The big stone on my table is just a fragment of a huge stone weighing several thousand kilograms. How do you feel about it?"
…
"A boulder weighing several thousand kilograms?"
"Falling debris?"
Qin Qiong and others were stunned for a moment, and then... they were suddenly shocked when they thought of the question Li Er just asked.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. Could it be that...these boulders weighing several kilograms were broken by human power?!"
This is incredible!
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin were all stunned at this moment.
As for gravel, it is everywhere in the world. How can anyone not see it? Even if they see it on the road, no one will take a second look.
But a huge boulder shattered...
The heartbeats of the three of them accelerated a little, and the first reaction in their minds was...
I guess this is gravel slowly knocked down by a mason?
But why would Your Majesty talk about this...
Li Er smiled and did not continue this topic, but suddenly mentioned another thing.
"By the way, you haven't fought many wars since I came to the throne. Let me ask you, what do you think of the Turks...?"
…
When Li Er asked about the Turks, Qin Qiong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty asked some strange questions, and those who didn’t know thought he was going to punish him or something...
As for the Turkic problem, isn't it their old profession? Everyone is studying military affairs to make a living.
Qin Qiong first said,
"The Turks are our strongest and most rampant foreign enemy in the Tang Dynasty. The current Turkic Khan is named Jieli Khan. He is a man of great talent and can rule countless large tribes with small tribes.
Contempt, Your Majesty..."
Qin Qiong remembered that not long ago, Turkic troops came to Chang'an.
At that time, Li Er had just eliminated Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and his group, and then Jieli Khan took the opportunity to strike with a sap, catching Datang off guard.
Being helpless at the time, Li Er had no choice but to endure his anger and sign the Weishui Alliance with the other party.
To this day, it is still the hatred in Li Er's heart.
But Qin Qiong is an honest person and always tells the truth.
Therefore, he still said frankly, "Your Majesty, the Turks are powerful, and the Tang Dynasty is still immature... If there is no God-given opportunity, we should still plan for it slowly."
…
Qin Qiong has followed Li Er in the southern and northern wars since the days of Wagangzhai. He has never been one to shy away from war.
Li Er naturally understands this.
Not only Qin Qiong, but also Yuchi Laomo and Cheng Yaojin, two pure fools, also nodded.
"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, don't understand the truth, but if we want to protect the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid we have to wait... If you can give me, Old Cheng, 300,000 troops, I can kill Dingxiang City to pieces.
Keep!"
When Cheng Yaojin mentioned Dingxiang City, both Li Er and Li Jing nodded slightly.
It seems that everyone has done their homework, so that’s good.
But then...
Li Er smiled slightly.
"But if I want to use a large number of troops to capture the Turks in two months... do you guys have any good strategies?"
"What?!"
"Use troops in two months? Suddenly... take the initiative to fight the Turks?!"
As soon as Li Er said these words, Qin Qiong and the others were shocked.
Years of military training clearly told them one thing:
Li Er is absolutely crazy!
…
If troops are suddenly used at this time, the whole army will definitely be annihilated!
Qin Qiong and the three of them took a deep breath, stepped back five steps from Li Er's desk, and knelt down.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"We don't dare to be disloyal to the emperor because we are eating the emperor's salary. But if we use troops so rashly, our Tang Dynasty's military strength is not as good as that of the Turks. If we take action at this time, it will be the disaster of the country's destruction!"
"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng must not use this head to advise you!"
"Your Majesty, when has Old Demon Yuchi ever given up in all these years? But the safety of the Tang Dynasty is in danger..."
The three of them were immediately shocked and began to admonish Li Er.
However, after a while, I discovered...
Li Er said nothing, neither changed his mind nor said anything about killing those who resisted.
When I looked up, I found that Li Er was laughing!
"His Majesty?"
"this……"
"Everyone, please get up. Aren't we chatting now? I'm just going to make a hypothesis. Isn't that enough?"
Li Jing also had a suppressed smile on his face, "The three generals are loyal and courageous, but they are just discussing at this moment, so why get excited."
Qin Qiong and the others had no choice but to pretend that Li Er was just chatting, so they gathered around Li Er's case again.
It’s just that my heart is still pounding.
How can you ask someone to come and chat in the middle of the night?
If your Majesty is not as good as Long Yang, then he must be...mostly with similar attention...
Later, Li Er asked the two of them how to make a plan if they wanted to take the initiative to use troops against the Turks.
Qin Qiong and the others thought for a while, and then...
"Your Majesty, I thought..."
"...Old Cheng, I don't think we need so many troops. At most..."
"An ambush may be set up at this mountain pass, but if the Turks expect it, we may take advantage of it..."
…
After you say something to me.
Qin Qiong and the others could only think carefully and said, "If your Majesty really wants to use troops, it is not absolutely impossible."
"But we must wait for a good opportunity. Dingxiang City is far away from the old Turkic camp, and there may be a chance to intercept it..."
"But what if I want to break through head-on and directly attack Xiangcheng?"
Just when Qin Qiong and others thought this was an academic discussion.
Li Er once again made a violent comment.
Qin Qiong and others were dumbfounded this time.
"Your Majesty, are you... going to attack from the front?"
"How does this work?"
This time, even the two reckless men Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Laomo thought it was too outrageous!
Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, none of them knew that Dingxiang City had a regular garrison of 300,000 elite soldiers.
To attack this kind of city hard, what the hell...
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we're like meat buns beating dogs, and we'll never come back!"
Cheng Yaojin immediately became anxious.
Li Er laughed loudly, and then suddenly said loudly!
"I am very touched by your loyalty to the country!"
"But I must destroy the Turks!"
"I must destroy this Dingxiang city!"
"Don't be in a hurry to give me advice. There is something I have to tell you first... Medicine Master, please tell me."
Li Jing cupped his hands and then looked at Qin Qiong and the others.
"Uncle Bao, respects virtue and knows integrity. Do you still remember... Your Majesty once obtained the method of making a new type of crossbow from an expert before?"
"God's Arm Bow? Of course I remember this!"
Qin Qiong nodded. This thing impressed him so much. Because of the existence of the Divine Arm Bow, the level of bow and horse of the entire Tang Dynasty soldiers was equivalent to an increase of several steps.
How could he forget this? But it seems that it is not enough to defeat the Turks...
