Chapter 92 The answer of the grandson Wuji (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Changsun Wuji, who had been working on the background board for a long time, finally responded with a keen response: "Qingque's words seriously?
If white folds can be planted on a large scale like grain crops, wouldn’t it be that ordinary people can wear warm clothes in winter? This is a great merit.
If all the soldiers of the army can be equipped with cotton coats, the bitter and cold areas in Liaodong can be stationed in large troops for a long time, and the combat time will be extended by several months each year.
The reason why the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo repeatedly failed, the people were unacceptable, Emperor Yang was tyrannical, and the loss of peace among soldiers. No matter what, the reason why Liaodong was cold in winter and the suitable combat time was too short should not be ignored.
Each expedition sent hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the soldiers were the children of Guandong as the backbone, the number of troops in the Huai River, Shu and Jiangnan occupied most of them.
Because the children of Guanzhong were fighting for a long time, they could not adapt to the climate of Liaodong, and the remaining soldiers in Jianghuai and Shu were completely unable to adapt to the severe cold.
The battle to destroy a country lasted only half a year. Goguryeo, like Middle Earth, had many strong cities and fortresses. It is not easy to conquer a powerful country with hundreds of thousands of troops in just half a year."
Li Shimin sighed: "What the auxiliary machine said is right. There are two things that Goguryeo relies on against the Central Plains, one is the strong city and the other is the cold cold.
If the white folds could be planted like grain, and then all the soldiers in the army would wear cotton coats thickly, my hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be like everyone wearing fur.
The barrier of the cold and cold in Liaodong will not be afraid, we can break Goguryeo's arm!"
All the generals were excited. If the battle time could be extended, there was no need to rush to pursue quick victory within a few months. Goguryeo was a wall of iron, and the Tang Dynasty could smash him.
Everything is ready, Cheng Yaojin felt that he had the chance to lead the battle to destroy the country and shouted: "What are you talking about?
The King of Qin was so bad that his spirit was as long as he focused on Goguryeo, Goguryeo would not be far from death.
Gai Suwen was a hero for a while and would never dream of letting the King of Qin be considered dead in every possible way.
Now that Goguryeo elites can help us understand the reality and cotton coats can prevent the soldiers from fearing the cold, and wars will no longer be restricted by the severe winter. Even a woman can destroy Goguryeo!
Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, think that we will take the lead in this battle as the commander. Maogong, the pharmacist should concentrate on dealing with Xue Yantuo.”
Li Jing, Li Ji was anxious. We have been arguing here for a long time, and you, an old hooligan, pick peaches and eat them ready-made. You are welcome.
The three of them quarreled on the spot. Li Daozong walked to Li Shimin's side with a soft foot and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng's words may not be unreasonable.
Pharmacist and Maogong fought with the grassland people as they were old, and there was no shortage of tough battles within three years of Mobei.
I think it would be better to let me go to war in Goguryeo than to fight, the two slaughter knives of the slaughtered knives against Goguryeo, which would not insult the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Li Shimin touched his beard and said with a bright look: "What Chengfan said is reasonable. The pharmacist is the right reason to prevent Xue Yantuo. To conquer Goguryeo, we should naturally choose another person."
Li Daozong was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I will go back and think about the strategy now.
As long as your Majesty gives you an order, I promise to break through Pyongyang City and take the head of Gaisuwen to see you!"
Li Shimin said earnestly: "Chengfan, I can understand your desire to fight, but I have been in Chang'an for so many years, and my bones are almost rusted. Recently, I often come to the quiet and think about moving. It is time to go out for a walk. What do you think I am leading the army to conquer Liaodong?"
...
Li Daozong is in chaos. Will you be a little bit of a slut?
Your brother, I have been the deputy coach for so many years. The thousand-year-old second brother finally took the opportunity to show his face. Your leading brother also competed for the double flower red stick with me. Is your conscience really hurting?
Li Tai can't stand it anymore. Old Li is not kind, Li Daozong is honest, you can't keep it tight, right?
After looking at the three old guys who were still very quarreling, Li Tai pulled away the two brothers Li Shimin and said solemnly: "Dad, you are the lord of a country. Since you ascended the throne, you have never fought in person. How can a Goguryeo make you wear your battle robe again?
Once the war is not going well, you will lose your reputation for your lifetime and be ruined. It is not worth it."
Li Shimin was angry: "Can a small Goguryeo make me capsized in the gutter?"
"This gutter is not small. Your broken boat has been disrepair for a long time and has not been trained for a long time. If you can't guarantee that you will be able to take such a big risk. How can you bear to have your father take this big risk?"
Li Tai advised him kindly, and Li Shimin roared: "Baby, are you mocking me for being incompetent in my old age?
I remember that from the early morning to the sunset under Tongguan, I cut my hands from the early morning to the sunset, and I cut my hands for five hours without breathing or eating!
You dare say that I can't lift the knife?
I'll kick you to death!"
Old Li Long's power showed his shadow and kicked out the afterimage. Li Tai rolled and pulled Changsun Wuji out of Xuanzheng Hall.
When the two left the hall, Li Tai was panting with fear. Seeing that Old Li did not follow him out of the hall, he then covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
If a dog bites Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know the good intentions. Lao Li, just act a lie.
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, this is not the Ganlu Palace, Your Majesty will not chase you.
Qingque, my uncle is both proud and frightened when he sees you growing up every day during this period.
In terms of military affairs, my uncle only knows the basics, and his diplomatic affairs are not as good as a fifth-rank doctor in Honglu Temple. Now, when I think about it, my uncle really has nothing to teach you.
If Guanyin Bi can see that you have grown to this point today, she will definitely come to our house to show off.
Haha, your mother is the most calm and composed. Only you and Chengqian. As long as the skills improve, she will show off her joyfully."
Li Tai said helplessly: "Uncle, you only see your mother and mother love us brothers, but you don't see the bamboo pole as thick as a child's arm, and you shouldn't be able to scream when you scream when you don't want to be effective. That's really painful."
"Haha, you are the only three monkeys who can let Guanyin maid give up the majesty of the mother in the world.
In the blink of an eye, Guanyin maid has been away for six years. In these six years, all three of you brothers have undergone earth-shaking changes, uncle..."
Changsun Wuji was deeply saddened, and Li Tai said suddenly: "Uncle, mother is a cold-hearted person. When he was there, people felt weak when they saw him. After his death, people would miss him for a whole day.
In order to ensure that the eldest son’s family is prosperous and peaceful, my mother would not hesitate to let her father unemployed you for several years. You must not take it to your heart.”
As he said this, Changsun Wuji's face suddenly tightened, and he said in a hurry: "Where did Qingque say this?
If the Guanyin maid had not given me a blow back then, how could I have calmed my mind and walked more steadily? I am afraid that the pharmacist's yesterday was mine today!"
"That's good, I knew that my uncle and prime minister could hold a boat in his stomach.
Let’s not talk about him in the past. There are two things that I have to bother my uncle.”
Li Tai put away his seemingly playful words and talked about the serious matters seriously.
Changsun Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The little fox, Cheng Qian, had already started to show his fangs before he could completely cool down. He was not a good master to serve.
Li Tai also breathed a sigh of relief. Changsun Wuji's comments in his previous life were really bad. The autocratic rule forced Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the adulterer, to fight back, and eventually ruined the Changsun family's century-old wealth. The mother's concerns turned into reality.
He also tried Changsun Wuji to see if the old fox would be as domineering as Li Zhi. Fortunately, he did not show any slightest praise.
Whether he has other plans or his tolerance skills are more perfect than before, at least this attitude is convenient and has a foundation for in-depth cooperation.
The old fox mentioned that he had no ability to teach himself. He seemed to be modest and moved, but in fact he was dissatisfied with Li Jing and Li Ji from behind. He was also testing what price Li Tai could offer him.
Li Tai has already opened this price. After he officially entered the Eastern Palace in the future, Changsun Wuji, the position of the prince and the Grand Tutor, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
No matter what I am, Changsun Wuji is good at government affairs, laws and regulations, and military diplomacy is just half a bucket of water. For Li Tai, he will be the ideal choice for the prime minister in the future.
As for whether Li Zhi’s story will be repeated, the court was controlled by him and became the Changsun family’s one-man show. That’s a joke.
It was a huge surprise that Li Zhi was promoted. He did not have his own iron team, Li Tai did not have this shortcoming, and Changsun Wuji wanted to monopolize the power.
Li Tai has his own plans for the price code, but now he will not be stupid enough to reveal his trump card.
"Why should you, my nephew and uncle be so polite? As long as your uncle can do your best, Qingque, you can do it." Changsun Wuji also looked solemn.
"That's right, we have to hurry up on the matter of Baidiezi. My plan is to promote the planting of 100,000 acres in two years!
This matter is quite troublesome. I have been thinking about it. Only my uncle can help me. I wonder if my uncle is willing to help me?"
Li Tai lion opened his mouth wide and it took three years to promote 100,000 acres of cotton.
Changsun Wuji was shocked, but then his eyes narrowed into a line, stroked his beard and nodded, "It is indeed troublesome to promote a new thing in three years to reach 100,000 acres.
Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to find and cultivate enough seeds and land with suitable climate.
However... I have no choice but to conquer the warm clothes of the Liao army and for the victory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"It's great. This matter is very time-consuming. If it can be completed on schedule, the Liao army will be able to kill thousands of people less.
Uncle, don’t worry, no matter which company produces the best quality white folds, the court will buy them at a fair price!”
This is not to deceive Changsun Wuji. It is to destroy a country like Goguryeo with a population of millions and a military maximum mobilization capacity of 600,000. It is a country with many strong cities in the country. If it wants to achieve success in just a few months in a warm time, it is just a dream to marry a wife and think about good things.
If there is no way to overcome the coldness of the Gama Plateau, you can only attack forcibly at the cost of the lives of soldiers before winter comes.
In his previous life, Li Zhi was able to destroy Goguryeo because Li Shimin summed up the lessons after he was defeated in the campaign against Goguryeo and formulated policies to continuously crack down on and weaken the other party's national strength.
The second is that when Quan Gai Suwen died, Goguryeo lost the heroic ruler and the dragons had no heads.
The third is the Tang army's fierce attack without regard to casualties. In this battle, the Tang army's tragic casualties were more than ten times more than the battle to destroy the Turks!
So after the war, the government and the people were unintentional and powerless to continue to compete with Silla for control of the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong, which eventually led to one of the biggest strategic mistakes of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why the Tang army suffered such tragic casualties was the perverted cold winter of the Gaima Plateau.
The severe coldness of this ghost place in winter can compete with the Russians. More than a thousand years later, the volunteers fought on the peninsula. The troops had cotton coats and were still frozen to death. Even the US troops with a sleeping bag were also shockingly frostbite.
It can be imagined that without cotton coats during the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains army had to fight in the winter of the peninsula. The reduction of freezing and frostbite was definitely a terrifying number, and even directly caused the army to lose its combat power.
The destruction of the country is not about planting crops. This year does not last next year. Once the war is delayed until the second year, the enemy will be able to breathe and resurrect, and the war will delay endlessly.
The Goguryeo War initiated by Li Zhi lasted for fourteen years, and the national strength was exhausted to the limit. It was not until Gai Suwen died that he succeeded in the battle.
The reason why the war was so persistent was that Gai Suwen was the most fundamental reason that the pig Li Zhi failed to launch a full-scale three-dimensional war on Goguryeo, political, economic, underground front, diplomatic and military, and only conquered with the simplest and most brutal military means.
As for the most direct reason, the Tang army was unable to continue fighting against Goguryeo due to seasonal restrictions, and only a few months were able to fight each year, which eventually led to a stalemate of the war and formed a stalemate attack between the two sides.
The war has been delayed for many years, and the Tang Dynasty’s reigns ranged from Yonghui, Xianqing, Longshuo, Linde to Qianfeng, Zongzhang...
Li Zhi was a strange man who reigned for only thirty-three years. He used a total of fourteen years of reigns. He tried to beat Goguryeo for six years!
