"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is too hasty.

The Western Regions are so far from Chang'an City that the Dashi Empire dared to invade the Western Regions, so it must have made full preparations.

Without knowing the specific situation, he hurriedly arranged a 50,000 army to go to war, and even the logistics supply was not done yet.

Although our Tang soldiers were very brave, the risk was still very high when they rashly broke into the Western Regions to fight against the people of the Dashi Empire.

And this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only arranged Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui to enter the Western Regions with 50,000 cavalry, but also arranged for the Tang Dynasty navy to attack the Dashi Empire from the sea.

This means to fight the Dashi Empire in full swing.

With such an important decision, His Majesty had not received any information at all, so he ordered it to make it. It was obviously inappropriate."

It is obvious that Changsun Wuji and the others already knew about the major events that happened in the court.

Although Li Shimin and his group are not in the same place every month.

However, the connection with Chang'an City has never been broken, nor can it be broken.

"Wuji, when His Majesty left Chang'an City, he had issued an order to let His Highness superintendent superintendent the country.

The army of the Dashi Empire has already appeared in the Western Regions. If the court has not responded at all, wouldn’t it be that people will attack Longyou Road by then?"

Fang Xuanling has now clearly supported Li Kuan.

Although the Changsun Party still had a great influence in the Tang Dynasty, the princelings who began to control the Tang army were obviously determined to win.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fang Xuanling understood what Li Shimin meant.

Li Shimin obviously had made up his mind to hand over the Tang Dynasty to Li Kuan.

Otherwise, this southern tour would not have been so straightforward.

In the past, the prince's rulers were symbolic rulers, and they did not really grasp the power.

But this time it's different.

Li Shimin basically handed over all his rights to Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty is indeed asking His Highness to supervise the country, but this is to supervise the country, not to let His Highness to govern the country.

His Royal Highness can directly decide on some small matters.

But if you launch a large-scale battle to the outside world, this kind of thing still needs to be approved by His Majesty?

Or I can understand that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t take His Majesty seriously at all and starts to do whatever he wants?"

Changsun Wuji's words were very vicious.

If Li Shimin really felt grudges because of hearing this, then life will definitely be very troublesome.

Fortunately, although Li Shimin is old, he is not that stupid.

"Enough! The so-called generals are not allowed to be ordered by the king. Our Confucianism is far away from Lingnan Road. I have already asked Kuan'er to supervise the country. When encountering such an urgent matter, he discussed with the court officials and arranged a large army to go on an expedition, and there was no problem.

This matter has become a fait accompli, and it is meaningless to discuss it here.

The most urgent task is to analyze how this battle should be fought, what it will be like, and what else we need to do in the Tang Dynasty.”

Li Shimin scolded him very unhappily.

Whether it is Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling, they are both Li Shimin's left and right arm.

Naturally, he didn't want to see such a quarrel scene.

However, the conflict between the Changsun Party and the princeling party has been around for a long time, and Li Shimin also knew that it was impossible to resolve it in just a few words.

"According to the map drawn by Guanshishan Academy, this Dashi Empire is a country spanning Asia, Africa and Europe, occupying a very important business channel.

Not only did our Tang Dynasty's goods go to Europe need to pass through the Dashi Empire, but other Southeast Asian countries, if we want to transport things to Europe for sale, we have to pass through the Dashi merchants.

As for the business road that starts from Longyou Road, enters the Western Regions, then enters Central Asia, and finally enters the extreme western region, it should have fallen under the control of the great cannibals.

Under this circumstance, although the army of the Dashi Empire came from afar and was very tired, its combat effectiveness should not be poor.

Even the individual combat ability is not different from the elite of our twelve guards.

In terms of fearlessness, because they imposed unique teachings, it is estimated that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not match them.

In this case, it is not particularly difficult to win the war.

But it is very difficult to win easily.”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and no longer had to worry about Changsun Wuji. Instead, he talked about specific things.

This can be regarded as a disguised shift to the topic.

To a certain extent, Li Kuan owed Fang Xuanling a favor.

"The Great Food Empire is a national country, I heard Kuan'er say it many years ago.

At that time, before Goguryeo was destroyed, Kuan'er had already regarded Goguryeo as the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

He believed that the Great Food Empire would be the main competitor of the Tang Dynasty in the next hundred years.

Now we have not taken the initiative to cause trouble for them, but they have already taken action twice.

At the side of Qiwanggang, they wanted to attack, but were defeated by the navy.

This time they wanted to enter the Western Regions from land and then threaten our Tang Dynasty.

This is absolutely unbearable.

Therefore, it is inevitable to send troops to fight back against the Great Food Empire.

But I have never considered moving forward with water and land before, and arranged so many warships from the ocean to set off.

From this perspective, Kuan'er's idea is relatively broad.

Maybe you can really achieve different results."

Li Shimin recalled the news related to the Great Food Empire in his mind.

The first time I heard of this name, I learned it from Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty, the Great Food Empire is quite powerful, I believe this.

However, I think it is an exaggeration to say that His Royal Highness regards the Great Food Empire as the main competitor of the Tang Dynasty in the next century.

Although Your Majesty asked His Highness to supervise the country, the transfer of the twelve guards basically needs to be confirmed by Your Majesty.

In other words, the military power of the Tang Dynasty is mainly in the hands of Your Majesty.

Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince hopes to control the military power of the Tang Dynasty through this conflict with the Great Food Empire.”

Both of them were about to break up, and Changsun Wuji didn't have so much concern.

Now, Changsun Wuji has already known that once Li Kuan ascends the throne, the Changsun family will definitely be in chaos.

Although it may not be enough to be cut off, it is absolutely impossible to be taken into account by someone.

This is something that Changsun Wuji cannot bear.

Taking advantage of his chance to resist, he naturally tried his best to wear Li Kuan's shoes on Li Shimin's side.

"Wuji, you're saying too much!

Although we all know that the grudges between you are very deep, one is one, two is two.

Even if His Majesty is still in Chang'an City, he will definitely agree to send troops to the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are so far away from the Dashi Empire, but they have all begun to penetrate here.

If we cannot decisively cut off the tentacles that the Great Food Empire stretched out, we will give them a fatal lesson.

It is very likely that there will be no peaceful life in the future."

Fang Xuanling naturally couldn't stand Changsun Wuji's obvious slanderous words.

Besides, Li Shimin said that everyone is going to discuss the main business now, but Changsun Wuji is still entangled there.

I have to say, this is a bit annoying.

In Fang Xuanling's eyes, Changsun Wuji's image was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"According to the news that Baiqisi learned from various Dashi merchants, the real establishment of this Dashi Empire is actually very close to our Datang.

But they are more aggressive than our Tang Dynasty.

In just a few decades, they destroyed old powers such as the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire.

They also conquered Syria, Yemen, Egypt and other places.

As for the tribes within, anyone who dares to resist was suppressed.

In order to expand trade routes and land, they fight against foreign countries every year.

Our Tang Dynasty has developed to this day, and its business has become very developed, and various products have been sold to many places through maritime trade.

I believe that the Dashi Empire has also heard about the situation of our Tang Dynasty.

I think it is actually an inevitable thing for them to invade the Western Regions.

Even if you don’t take action this year, you will take action in a few years.

The business roads on the Western side are basically controlled by the cannibals, and if the Silk Road from the Western Regions to the extreme west is also controlled.

Then the Dashi Empire is equivalent to mastering all the business lifelines of the East-West exchanges in this world. It can not only obtain very generous profits, but also exert huge influence on surrounding countries.

From this perspective, it is actually good to send a large army to teach them a hard lesson while they are still expanding."

Li Shimin has never been a person who likes to suffer losses.

The great cannibals have already begun to make trouble on Tai Sui's head, how could Li Shimin still tolerate it?

"Your Majesty is right! Although our Tang Dynasty's science and technology are the best in the world, it has conquered so many countries and integrated the advantages of so many countries. The strength of the Dashi Empire should not be underestimated.

If they are allowed to develop, they may really become the confidant of our Tang Dynasty.

At that time, they will compete with us for commercial markets in the West and South China, and compete with us for the Silk Road in the Western Regions and Central Asia, which will definitely involve a lot of our energy.

This will drag our Tang Dynasty into a mud.
