Chapter 272 If you are not of my race, your heart must be different

Although he had faded out of the court, Li Jing still knew the reason why Li Shimin left him deliberately today.

Therefore, he did not pretend to behave, he sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Songtsen Gampo has been praised in Tubo, and the Tubo people even praised him for being generous, talented and powerful, and extremely brave. Moreover, he is well-versed in craftsmanship, calendar calculations, and martial arts. He is a smart and talented king. Of course, such a person is not willing to stay in the same territory forever."

"In 633, after Tubo moved his capital to Lusie, relying on the plains, cattle and sheep were everywhere, horses were fat, and the national strength became increasingly strong. Songtsen Gampo quickly destroyed Supi, the surrounding tribe, and annexed Xiangxiong Kingdom. All these things obviously followed the rules of the rule of the strong prey on the weak."

"Now that the internal and external troubles of Tubo have been basically resolved, and Your Majesty has flatly refused to marry Tubo, the arrogant Songtsen Gampo will inevitably be anxious to jump over the wall."

Everyone nodded with deep understanding.

Li Ji looked worried and slapped the table and said angrily: "Your Majesty, once Tubo sends troops to the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be a great war. Although our Tang army is not afraid of invading enemies, I am worried that the food and grass will not be enough. Unfortunately, if there is enough food and grass, I will definitely let the barbarians come and go."

"Your Majesty, what the Duke of England said makes sense. You have to prepare for food and grass early, just in case..." Fang Xuanling was also very anxious.

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling was certainly aware of the court's food and grass reserves. This year's snow disaster was still a lot of relief food!

If Tubo sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, it would definitely be a big battle, and eating horses would be a big expense.

Even if he held the knife around his neck, Fang Xuanling couldn't think of where to raise so much food and grass.

Once the soldiers can’t even have enough food to eat, what else can they talk about in war? It would be nice if there is no mutiny at that time.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling was uneasy.

At this time, Changsun Wuji also spoke, but he squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Fan quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, if Tubo sends troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely cause trouble for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The root of all this is the result of refusing to marry. I think that as long as I agree to the Tubo's wedding invitation, this matter will be resolved naturally."

Although Changsun Wuji seemed to be considering the court, he was actually more targeting Yang Fan.

After all, Yang Fan was the most active responder to the marriage.

If His Majesty Li Er adopted the statement of marriage marriage, it means that Yang Fan's proposal to refuse marriage marriage was wrong.

It can not only attack Yang Fan, but also conform to the Dong Palace's proposal, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er, who plays with power, can see through the tricks like Changsun Wuji.

He really didn't expect that his brother-in-law still wanted to take personal revenge and treat major national affairs as a joke. It was really outrageous.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and his face darkened. Changsun Wuji was too disappointed.

He had to turn his head again and said to Li Jing, "Duke of Wei, can there be a countermeasure?"

"Hasn't Your Majesty solved it?" Li Jing smiled and said something.

His Majesty Li Er was stunned, looked at Li Jing and sighed, "Duke Wei is indeed as wise as a torch."

On the contrary, Li Ji did not react for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why did Duke Wei say this?"

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Is the food and grass that Zhongyi Hou just mentioned just now used for..."

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile and said, "That is, the Zhongyi Marquis has already made a fool of himself on food and grass, but it is not convenient to inform him of how to raise food and grass for the time being."

"It's important, of course the fewer people know, the better..." Fang Xuanling waved his hand indifferently.

Since the food has been solved, Fang Xuanling naturally put his heart back, and the rest of the war is not what he should worry about.

Fang Xuanling’s not caring does not mean that others don’t care. As a general, shouldn’t he be on the battlefield?

Li Ji was completely gone from the gloom he had just now and promised excitedly:

"Your Majesty, with our current military strength, as long as the military ration is sufficient, my husband dares to issue military orders. Once Tubo dares to make any abnormal moves, he will definitely give them a thunder blow, and let Tubo know that the power of heaven is invincible."

After all, in other words, the Tang Dynasty actually had a lot of troops, but it lacked food and grass and could not be supplied to the army for large-scale operations.

Yang Fan also heard his eyes glowing. As a man, who doesn’t have the passion to fight on the battlefield?

Although His Majesty Li Er has already given him a title and an official position, no one wants to fight on the battlefield to do something.

Although I am offering a way to prevent plague, making glass, and offering auspiciousness, it seems that it has made a lot of contributions, but it is actually very false.

In the Tang Dynasty, although military generals rarely speak in the court, most of them are loud and powerful once they speak.

This is also the reason why Duan Zhixuan dared to bargain with the aristocratic family.

Because only a well-known achievement can make a person stand proudly in the court, that is, military achievements.

How to obtain military achievements?

Of course, we have to fight. Now there is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Yang Fan certainly doesn't want to let it go.

If a army with a hundred battles can destroy Tubo in one battle, it will be a military achievement of breaking the territory.

As long as you can participate in this battle, the military achievements will be too easy.

More importantly, His Majesty Li Er just asked him to take over a large camp of the Right Guard, as long as he controls this army before the war comes.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Although it is impossible to be a pioneer officer with his own age and qualifications to win the first merit, even the logistics troops escorting food and grass are rare contributions.

What's more, His Majesty Li Er wants to send the prince to supervise the battle. If he doesn't help, how could he get a place to protect the royal family?

If there is no chance to participate in the war this time, the Western Turks have been beaten to escape from the grassland, and Tuyuhun has already surrendered.

Apart from the Battle of Goryeo, which did not know that the year of the Monkey and Horses could only start in the month of the Monkey, only the Tubo Kingdom in front of me can achieve military achievements, and the opportunity is rare.

Seeing Li Ji full of confidence and Yang Fan was full of fighting spirit, His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile.

I just didn't know what I thought of, my face was a little heavy. After pondering for a while, I gritted my teeth and said, "I am not worried about Tubo's rebellion, but I am afraid that once the war begins, some ambition guys will take the opportunity to make trouble."

Li Ji was shocked and asked, "What Your Majesty said is Tuyuhun?"

Li Jing shook his head, looked at Li Shimin and said, "It's Xue Tuoyan."

Everyone suddenly realized.
