Chapter 434 The Disappearing Tang Dynasty
In the Zichen Hall, Li Shimin looked solemn, "Can you know, why did Goguryeo break the city and steal people?"
Li Xiaogong said: "Your Majesty thinks that this matter is difficult to decide. Now the more important thing is to raise an army!"
"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"
"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"
Military bosses naturally cannot fear war. Only the battlefield is their ultimate destination!
Li Shimin sneered: "I will not bypass Yuan Gaisuwen, but I want to know where he has taken my people!"
Everyone looked at each other, and how could they figure out what Goguryeo plans to do?
The reason why Li Shimin asked this was because he felt that there should be something strange about it.
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Seeing that Li Shimin named him, Li Fangchen couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and mute, and directly expressed his guess.
"slave!"
"slave?"
"The son-in-law only felt that Goguryeo was so bold and reckless, and he was willing to risk the Tang Dynasty and sent people to attack Yingzhou, which must have nothing to do with the slaves!"
"Tell me carefully!"
"Yes, my father and all the important officials in the court, I think I don't know that Goguryeo has already mastered the artillery method?"
Fang Xuanling immediately guessed part of the content, "Can you say that Goguryeo uses slaves to mine and refine gunpowder?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "It doesn't make sense. There are Silla Baekje in front, and Mu Wei and Japan in the back. There are so many people in it. How could Goguryeo have such a big appetite?"
Li Fangchen asked back, "What if it is a slave soldier?"
Li Fangchen has seen the human bombs in later generations.
After so many years, who knows whether Goguryeo has used the power of artillery to develop landmines, giant cannons and grenades?
At that time, a certain Germany could use the power of a country to start a world war. One country fought against many countries, and even won or lost. In addition to the high concentration of domestic forces, what is even more frightening is their collective thoughts.
What if Goguryeo mastered the method of brainwashing?
Li Fangchen also had a guess that as long as there were two or three Goguryeo people intimidating the team, it would be enough to turn the slave soldiers they captured into a team that could barely be called combat power.
The Tang Dynasty also had auxiliary soldiers, also slave soldiers, who rushed to the forefront during battles.
Although the close combat is about to collapse, the opponent cannon is controlled.
As long as the firecrackers are constantly set off in the distance, the slave will not die because of this, and will lose the fear and struggle of death.
In order to avoid being obedient and obedient, it is not difficult to become vital in the end.
There is also a history that Li Fangchen did not want to mention. Once upon a time, wasn’t China the same?
How many Chinese children died in the War of Resistance Against Japan?
And that damn Japanese, less than one-tenth of the Chinese were killed or injured!
Use barbarians to govern barbarians, and conquer traitors to fool the people.
It seems that Goguryeo has completely walked in front of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Fangchen was unwilling to accept it. He thought that his arrival would only make the Tang Dynasty stronger and stronger.
But the Tang Dynasty, who had no opponents, forgot why they were powerful.
After so many years, the Ministry of Industry's Gunpowder Workshop has remained unchanged. It seems that in their perception, artillery is the most powerful long-range weapon in the world, and there is no need to improve it!
Do Tang Dynasty have landmines?
Yes, but not available!
Because the surrounding small countries dare not easily violate Tang Wei, most of the time, artillery and landmines became symbols of power.
"Your Highness means that the abducted Tang people will be forced to attack the Tang Dynasty by them?"
"Why can't it?"
Hundreds of years ago, some people in China came up with this solution.
With the people siege the city, the army mingles among the people. How could the enemy guards bear it when facing the unarmed people?
It is even more common for two armies to fight against the enemy with the people.
But to the present, no one likes to use the weak as a shield.
But Goguryeo does not belong to China, they have their own culture and country.
They were not ashamed to use these methods of corrupting reputations in the Tang Dynasty!
"Let the commander of Youzhou, Li Yu, commanded 10,000 troops to station Pingzhou, Youzhou and other places. Li Xiaogong!"
Li Xiaogong said: "I am here!"
"I promise you a 30,000 army to go to war in three days. Do you dare to issue a military order!"
Li Xiaogong said: "Goguryeo must kneel down and beg for surrender, and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Chengqian, Chengyu stay, let the rest disperse!"
"Yes, I will leave!"
I and the prince stayed in the palace, but I didn’t know what my father had planned.
Li Fangchen couldn't guess, so he had to wait for Li Shimin's arrangement.
"Gan'er, Yu'er, what do you think I should make a decision?"
Unexpectedly, after the others left, Li Shimin spoke in shocking words.
Li Fangchen was startled and sweated in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I'll leave!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. He could not imagine the meaning of Li Shimin's words.
He didn't even want to be the king's title, but Li Shimin actually asked him how to make a decision as an emperor?
It’s not that Li Fangchen is careful, but that he has to be careful!
"Come back! Can I still eat you?"
"Father?"
Li Shimin said: "Li Xiaogong is defeated but not defeated. I want to take charge of the battle in person. This matter of Chang'an will naturally be handed over to your brothers."
Li Chengqian was puzzled and said, "Why did your father want to increase the ambition of others?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Fangchen, "I should listen to you earlier."
Li Fangchen waved his hand, "I just talk nonsense, but how did my father decide that Li Xiaogong will be defeated?"
Li Shimin said with a brow: "Goguryeo fights to support war. Now that the Tang Dynasty has not fought for many years, how can it be an enemy? I just hope that Li Xiaogong will not be defeated too quickly!"
It seems that the idea coincides with Li Fangchen.
Li Fangchen said in confusion: "Father, you know this meaning of Goguryeo, why did you?"
"Because I and the Tang Dynasty need an enemy! The Turks are gone, and the Tang Dynasty has changed. If no one is an enemy, the Tang Dynasty will only be destroyed every day!"
If there are no external enemies, there will be internal troubles.
There may be no problem with this generation of princes, including Li Chengqian and Li Fangchen, but what about the next generation?
Although Li Shimin is not visible on weekdays, it is just because the government affairs in the court have already involved too much of his spirit. When encountering big problems, he can see it far more clearly than others!
Thirty thousand troops were collected from the Sixteen Guards. Before leaving, an old acquaintance was also sent by Li Fangchen to Li Xiaogong.
"The eleventh year of Qin's tent has been met by the King of Hejian!"
"But Your Highness of Qin is worried about my safety?" Seeing that Li Fangchen took his confidant to him, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but be curious.
"Your Highness needs Prince Hejian and his subordinates to return to Chang'an alive!"
Li Xiaogong was silent for a long time and nodded, "I lack an aide by my side. This position will not embarrass you, the lord of the country, right?"
Eleven smiled and said, "The prince was joking. How could Eleven object to the order of Your Highness?"
"I'm leaving, when I come back, remember to bring my king's corpse!"
In front of outsiders, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin are both full of confidence.
In fact, they knew very well that the battle had just begun.
Li Xiaogong's departure is difficult to win and easy to lose.
