Living in the Empire as a Prince Chapter 435: The war is approaching? Zhao Zhi smiled and looked at Li Xun: "Li Xun, you must have heard about the situation in Longyou, do you have any ideas?

Come out and listen to me."

Li Xun nodded. During his stay in Qingyou Palace, he really thought about Long You's problem.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Gewa is arrogant and does things without thinking about the consequences. If he is determined to fight to the death with the Jin Dynasty, then the scale of this war will be unprecedented. I am afraid it will be compared to the previous ones."

The Battle of Longyou was much bigger, and the Tubo troop route was not only Longyou Road, but also Jiannan Road and Shandao Road, which were all within his attack range. The entire Tubo army was at least three

There are more than 100,000 soldiers. Now there are 100,000 soldiers in Duanlong Fort. Gewa still has 200,000 soldiers available. If the war breaks out in Longyou and he sends troops to Jiannan and Shannan, then Tubo and our Jin Dynasty,

It’s really a full-scale war, and Momeng’s attitude is unknown, and the Western Region is also experiencing constant fighting, and the situation is worrying!”

After listening to Li Xun's words, Zhao Zhi nodded. Li Xun didn't say anything shocking, just quite satisfactory. However, Zhao Zhi was still very satisfied. At least, Li Xun saw the overall situation clearly and knew what is what, rather than just saying something.

If you don’t know three questions, you can just muddle along.

"Have you ever thought about how to deal with the Tibetan invasion?"

"Li Xun dare not speak nonsense about such important matters that are related to the survival of the country."

Li Xun has also thought about this issue, but he only thought about it casually. The war between Tubo and Jin involved too many things and was too broad. Li Xun did not have the ability to think clearly about all the connections.

.

Zhao Zhi didn't ask any more questions, he just asked casually.

In fact, Tubo's aggressiveness pushed both sides to the brink of war. Jin was the forced party. Since it was unavoidable, it had to deal with it. However, Zhao Zhi considered the problem and not just considered it.

One Tubo, but the whole situation.

The Tubo invasion, as Li Xun said, may not only involve Longyou, but also may involve Jiannan and Shannan. What are the thoughts and thoughts of Yang Daolin in Jiannan, and what are the thoughts and thoughts of the Gan family in Shannan?

Zhao Zhi had to take into consideration what Mo Meng would be thinking once the war started, and make corresponding preparations and backup plans.

Next, Zhao Zhi discussed with Li Zhong, Liu Zhigu, Yu Wenzhen and other ministers, while Li Xun stood aside and listened quietly.

With the fall of Duanlongbao and the Tubo army of 100,000 soldiers, the situation in Longyou suddenly became tense.

Zhao Zhi has sent an envoy to Tubo to inquire about the situation. Although no news has been sent back, Li Zhong is categorical that the war between Tubo and Jin is unavoidable. However, Li Zhong also said that although Tubo now has 100,000 soldiers

Broken Dragon Fort, but the outbreak of the war will not start immediately, and the Jin Dynasty still has time to prepare.

There are a total of 80,000 troops in the eleven states of Longyou.

Wuzhou has 20,000, Zhou has 20,000, Suzhou has 20,000, and Liangzhou has 20,000.

Zhao Zhi has issued an edict, ordering Liangzhou and Zhou to each dispatch 10,000 soldiers to go to the state. The supporting troops are already in place. In this way, the state has 40,000 soldiers. The four states of Longyou North Road have always been in the Dazhou area.

It is in the hands of Jin and has always been an important military area. It is highly valued and has a very complete defense system. It is guarded by 40,000 soldiers. Even if Tubo has an army of 100,000, it will be difficult to break through.

Although Gewa has mastered the power of the entire Tubo, this kind of power is obtained through violence and opportunism, which is not popular among the people. This kind of power is not stable and safe at all. Gewa will not fail to understand this truth. As long as time

Once old, people's minds will change, and someone will definitely stand up to resist. The reason why Gewa took a tough stance immediately after taking power was to break the harmony with the Jin Dynasty and plunge the two sides into war again. In fact, it was just

From a political point of view, the reason is very simple. Now I will chart a path, which is to fight against the Jin Dynasty. No matter what your ideas are, you must follow me, otherwise everyone will have to die together. This is tantamount to putting everyone at risk.

They were all put on the same boat.

In this way, before the situation became clear, even those with different intentions would not dare to act rashly. Gewa's rights were consolidated in a short period of time, and he could hold all military power in his own hands.

"Li Xiangguo, according to what you said, Gewa's dispatch of troops this time may be the same as the previous Tubo Zampu. It is just out of political considerations and will not really go all out?"

Liu Zhongyuan said aloud.

Li Zhong shook his head: "Nisomagon and Gewa both want to use the war situation to seize military power and establish their own authority. Although their means and purposes are the same, the circumstances are quite different."

"Marshuai Li, what environment are you referring to?"

Yu Wenzhen still used to call Li Zhong by his military name. This time the Tubo invasion was fierce, and the imperial court intended to send the imperial army to Longyou to support him, but Li Zhong objected. He felt that the state had 40,000 troops, which was enough to deal with the attack of 100,000 Tibetan troops.

, there is no need to send out the imperial army on an expedition.

At this time, Li Xun had a smile on his face. The environment they were talking about made Li Xun think of himself.

Li Zhong saw Li Xun smiling there, and couldn't help but feel a little interested, and asked: "General Li, you have a bright smile on your face, do you think you have something to say?"

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to say."

Zhao Zhi also looked at Li Xun and said in a low voice: "Today, all ministers, please speak out if you want to say anything. If you say something wrong, you are not guilty."

Li Xun smiled bitterly, and had to collect his thoughts, and then said: "The environment that Marshal Li just mentioned should refer to Gewa. How noble Nisomagon is. His coming to power is natural, but it requires a process.

Nisongmagon's previous campaign of the Longyou War was to enhance his prestige through the war and speed up the process of taking power. However, Gewa was different. Although he was born in the Gewa family, one of the three most powerful families in Tubo,

But he himself was an illegitimate son, and in order to survive and rise to power, he even killed his biological uncle Gewa Mojong. Now, for the same sake of fame and fortune, he betrayed Nisomagon, who had been kind to him.

His reputation is completely bad. Just imagine who would truly surrender to such a ruthless and unjust person? Now that Gewa is actively starting a war, he actually forcibly ties everyone to him and goes gambling with him. If he wins, everyone

If everything is successful, then everything is easy to say. If it fails, people will die in war. Gewa has used war to purge dissidents, and it has become justifiable."

After speaking, Li Xun chuckled and said: "I only thought of so much, and I don't know if what I said is right."

Li Zhong glanced at Li Xun appreciatively, then smiled at Zhao Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, what Li Xun said is exactly what I want to say."
