Datang Library

Chapter 852
Li Erda sat on the central seat with a golden knife, pressed down on the rioting officials, and said with a happy expression: "Everyone is here, okay, let's discuss who to fight first today, Most of the surrounding countries have been taken by us, and only the western Turkic barbarians in the northwest are left on the border, and there is also a tiny country called Wa.

These are all the lambs under my Datang, who will be eaten next? "

Bai Fan looked at Li Er's way of pointing Jiangshan in high spirits, and cursed secretly in his heart, Li Er Er, you are swollen, and today's expression is the same as that of you when you were drunk in the past, isn't this just standing on the map and shouting in all directions? who?Those who know will say that you are not far from unifying the world, and those who don't know will think you are another arrogant and stupid king.

"Your Majesty, the last general asks for orders to attack the Western Turks. With my [-] troops and [-] thunderbolts, we can take the Western Turks in two months." Yu Chigong was the first to stand up and shouted. As Li Er's staunch supporter, Naturally, every battle must come first.

"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng begs for your order. It doesn't need fifty thousand, thirty thousand is enough."

"Nonsense, old Cheng, you are making trouble on purpose, [-] to destroy the country? Do you have that ability?" Cheng Yaojin boasted like making trouble, and Yu Chigong was the first to quit.

Other military generals also accused Cheng Yaojin one after another. There are countless famous generals here. Is it your turn to take the lead, Cheng Yaojing?

"Zhijie, don't mess around.

It is indispensable to fight bravely, but this temple plan is more about victory or defeat, Maogong, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, what do you think? "

Li Er ordered Li Ji's generals. Firstly, he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Secondly, he was one of the top military strategists in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ji had some headaches. Originally, he was just a military general. He could just be a simple general and know how to fight and command. But now that he has moved up his position, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. The so-called butt determines the brain. It is no longer a war of survival in one city and one place.

I thought that after the old Li Jing retired, the General Hou Junji would be responsible for this session of the Minister of War. Who knew that Hou Junji had listened to Bai Fan's nonsense and devoted himself to the navy. He didn't even want the position of commander. Ji now feels that Hou Junji seems to be right.

Just like what happened today, Li Ji is now the leader of the general, he should stand with the general without frowning, so that he can lead the team in the future, he should nod in support of the war.

But the fact is that it is impossible, because he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he has to consider for the country. He is better than the emperor in preparing for the station. He knows that the country's finances have been balanced. If there is another war, it will be in debt. The wealth of the wealthy families who bought food and recuperated has been wiped out, and they can no longer be beaten.

But he didn't dare to say this, because he said that he was playing against his subordinates. Without the generals to support him, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War may not last long.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Japanese country should be destroyed first."

"Hey, Mao Gong, a small and impoverished country in the Wa Kingdom, hit him first? Isn't it bombing the crickets with thunder? Is it too boring?

Why are you so weak? "Cheng Yaojin mocked loudly.

"Yes, yes, if you want to fight, hit the big one."

Many generals objected, but this was also Li Ji's decision after careful consideration. The Wa country was poor and weak and had nothing to rely on. big.

Li Er didn't express his opinion, but smiled and said: "Oh? Mr. Mao thinks that the younger ones should be hit first, so tell me your point of view."

"Your Majesty, I think that fighting is like eating, and it needs to be done step by step. The Tang Dynasty has been fighting for years, and the strength of the territory has expanded rapidly. We need time to digest it, so we directly fight the Western Turks. Although we will win, there are 30 people there after all. It is a bit difficult for the great country of Wan Dajun to go to war now, and we are not prepared enough.

But if we fight the Japanese small country first, this strategy can prepare us for the big war at home, and it can also train the soldiers to fight overseas. I know that the navy of General Hou Junji has long been screaming. "

Li Ji is worthy of being an old fox, his strategy is calm and sophisticated without leaking any flaws, Bai Fan admires it, these words are the most effective strategy without directly contradicting the emperor.

Li Er pondered for a moment, thinking about what Li Ji said about digestion, and then nodded his head and said, "Well, good, Mr. Mao's steps are extremely stable and excellent!

However, the Japanese country is isolated and helpless. It is the meat on the cutting board of my Tang Dynasty. I can eat it whenever I eat it. I thought to myself, why not take down the Western Turks first, and then digest the territory uniformly. At this time, we will spend a little time and suffer a little bit. , it will save a lot of effort in the future, what do you think? "

Many generals applauded. At this time, many of the civil servants were secretly anxious and winked at each other. Wei Zheng shook his beard to signal to Bai Fan. The other civil servants could see that expression, but only the emperor probably didn't notice it.

Bai Fan couldn't bear to tease Old Wei anymore, stood up with a smile, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that it is not appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to use weapons anymore."

Li Er's smile froze instantly, not dissatisfaction, but looking at Bai Fan strangely, don't you always despise the barbarians?You should support the matter of beating barbarians to promote the country's prestige. I asked you to come to help plan. Is there any shortcut? How can you object?
"In short, you, forget it, why do you oppose the use of troops?"

Yes, yes, all right, it's not that you can't fight, why not fight?The other generals yelled, but even though Bai Fan lost his strength, his prestige was still there, and no one dared to show face.

Bai Fan didn't directly explain his reasons, but turned around and asked his father-in-law, "May I ask His Royal Highness, how much gold and silver is in the treasury? How much food is there?"

Li Jiancheng naturally understood what his son-in-law meant. In fact, if Bai Fan didn't stand up again, Li Jiancheng would stand up himself.

Turning around to persuade Li Er: "Second brother, the national treasury has less than 100 million guan, and the surplus is about to bottom out.

Even if we harvest the grain for this autumn, the national treasury will not be able to save much in the coming year, because we have won Goguryeo, Tubo and other countries, and added tens of millions of mouths to eat. They still do not have the normal ability to farm and harvest, so they can only rely on the national treasury. If we don't pay for food and money, if it weren't for the large output of immortal food, we wouldn't be able to feed so many people at all. "

This this……

Li Er paused twice, but didn't know what to say, how could this happen?After only playing for less than three years, they were all shot?Where's our spoils?Didn't Bai Fan say that fighting now will only make people richer and richer?Is this kid wrong?Can he lie to me?That's not right, I figured it out myself.
