Fight or not.

This will always be the main theme of the dispute between civil and military affairs.

Of course, it is not to say that the civil officials who were all anti-war factions, but this time, except for Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion, even Xu Shishi, Lu Chengqing and others were very cautious. First of all, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje have never stopped fighting. It is not the first time. It is no longer a surprise. Can you save it? Secondly, Goguryeo is indeed difficult to crack. As long as the Tang Dynasty declares war and sends a large army to attack, Goguryeo will shrink back. As long as it persists until winter, this battle will be very difficult to fight. That place is really cold. The Tang Dynasty's best-sells the Guanzhong children who are good at fighting are not suitable for fighting in such cold weather. Moreover, it is far away from the Central Plains and the road conditions are not good. Food supply is a very big problem.

Both sides have different opinions and cannot argue.

Moreover, this war did not start because of the Tang Dynasty, so it seemed a little more sudden for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi was also undecided for a moment. According to Li Ji's wishes, he would sooner or later destroy Goguryeo, so he would take this opportunity to launch an army to destroy Goguryeo to avenge his revenge. This is not a small fuss, it is equivalent to destroying Baekje and Goguryeo, and at least 200,000 troops. How much food will the 200,000 troops consume? This is not a joke.

Therefore, until the end, Li Zhi did not make up his mind whether to send troops or not.

Han Yi did not participate in their argument because he knew that Li Zhi would definitely fight Goguryeo, but he really didn't want to start the war at this time, but now the opportunity seems to have come, so he is also confused.

Don’t say that he is unstable. After the news came out, almost everyone is unstable. Don’t fight, but hatred is there. And Li Shimin has made revenge statements, which is equivalent to inheriting the bloody hatred of the Sui Dynasty. If you dare to fight, then you will be a Chinese child. But if you want to fight, you can’t get anything except for being able to take revenge, and you have fought several times, but you have not eliminated the Goguryeo regime. Instead, it always hurts the national strength. This is a bit like the US empire fighting Afghanistan. You have been beating others, but you are beating yourself in a daze.

This is a bit different from Jie Li. Before Li Shimin attacked Jie Li, he was really scared because Jie Li was also very strong and did not say who would win. However, Goguryeo had no capital to attack the Tang Dynasty, so he could only harass the border people. At that level, how could the Tang Dynasty be afraid? Goguryeo was a beggar who was beaten. If you are in a bad mood, you can go up and kick him and vent.

But the problem is that this beggar is not cold even if he is cold, and he can't even kick him. His vitality is too strong. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was always a little confused when facing Goguryeo. It was so delicious that gnawing the fat piece of Jieli, but it would be too unpalatable to gnaw this bone, but if you can't do it, you have to collapse your teeth. Now the peninsula is not as good as ten thousand times higher than the Lingnan area. It is too cold in winter and there is no heating. Now there is even less coal, and agriculture is difficult to develop. Why do you have to work hard to make it?

In fact, everyone is thinking about these issues

It's late at night.

Han Yi was lying on the rocking chair in the yard, looking at the beautiful starry sky, frowning.

"what's on your mind?"

Han Yi looked back and saw Xiao Wuyi coming over with a blanket and gently covering him.

"Why are you feeling sad today?" Xiao Wuyi sat on the chair next to her and looked at Han Yi curiously.

"It's really a big deal!" Han Yi sighed and told her about Silla's request for help.

After hearing this, Xiao Wuyi immediately said, "What are you thinking about here? Of course, I suggest that Your Majesty send troops to eliminate Goguryeo."

I knew it was this answer! Han Yi rolled his eyes and said, "We are simply saying it, but with this order, we have to bear the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This is not a joke."

Xiao Wuyi shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Back then, 100,000 Chinese children were buried in Goguryeo. This bloody hatred has been imprinted in the hearts of Chinese children. I thought that no matter how much I paid, I would take revenge. This is related to the dignity of a country and the people of this country. In the early days of our founding of the country, Jie Li almost broke through Chang'an, but that was Jie Li, the heroic lord on the grassland. Moreover, my Tang Dynasty had just been established and civil strife had not yet been quelled, so it was understandable that I was defeated by Jie Li. But Goguryeo was just a small country, and it was defeated by such a small country. How could my Tang Dynasty be respected? Therefore, it is always a matter of resentment to Goguryeo."

Han Yi frowned and said, "Of course I understand this, but Goguryeo is just a poor mountain and a bad water. If you fight it, you will not get anything at all, it will simply consume national strength."

"Who said that?" Xiao Wuyi retorted: "There are most of the places in Liaodong that are not Han people, but people and Goguryeo live there, and they are adjacent to the old land of the Eastern Turks. Our Tang Dynasty has very weak control over there. Although the tribes of the Eastern Turks have surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, there is a Goguryeo that rebelled against our Tang Dynasty in the rear. Once the old land of the Eastern Turks changes, Goguryeo will probably take advantage of the opportunity to collude with those tribes. This is a very big threat to our Tang Dynasty. It is famous for its troops to attack Goguryeo, and no one will be surprised. If we can completely control Goguryeo, we can station troops there and take the opportunity to control the entire Liaodong region."

Han Yi was shocked and said in surprise: "How do you know this?"

Xiao Wuyi glanced at him gently and said angrily: "I have said it long ago that it is really my daughter, otherwise I would not be worse than Princess Pingyang."

Give you three points of color, you really open a dyeing shop! Han Yi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Xiao Wuyi said curiously: "What? Is Your Majesty unwilling to send troops?"

Han Yi was stunned and said, "I don't know this, but I understand Your Majesty. After all, since the Sui Dynasty, although he has attacked Goguryeo repeatedly and severely, he has always damaged his national strength. This is because Goguryeo is in a poor mountain and water, and our Tang Dynasty is vast. It is like you fight with a beggar. Even if you beat him to a blue face and swollen face, and he just touched his dirty hands on your hands, you will be disgusted for half a month, but he doesn't care about the beggar. No matter how bad he is, he will not be able to get rid of Goguryeo anyway. Therefore, either if you don't start a war, once the war begins, you must completely eliminate Goguryeo. Otherwise, I'm afraid that your majesty and the civil and military officials of the court will not be able to take up the courage to conquer Goguryeo again."

Xiao Wuyi nodded and said, "My grandfather once said that when fighting, it is the right time, place, and people. Even if you have the determination to win, you may not be able to win. This slight difference and a thousand miles of loss are the best way to describe war. Therefore, when I fight my grandfather, I will never tolerate it, let alone talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. If I can destroy the enemy tonight, I will never wait until tomorrow. If I can kill all the enemies, I will never leave a living. In short, even if the enemy is terminally ill, I should immediately step forward and kick him to death."

"It's reasonable!" Han Yi nodded with a smile and said to herself, "No wonder she is so amazing in her work. It turns out that she is deeply influenced by Li Jing. It's a pity that she often uses the wrong place."

Xiao Wuyi is such a person. Not to mention that she directly pressed the urine bucket on Pei Qingfeng's head, she said that she had a bruised nose and a swollen face that she had never shown any mercy, and she was as if she was a pig's head. Because in Xiao Wuyi's opinion, if I slap you by you, you will also take revenge on you, so why don't I slap you ten times? Maybe I can slap you so much that I will scare you and I will not dare to come to trouble me in the future.

After thinking about it, Han Yi felt that this was not what he was good at. He didn't know whether this battle could be won. The only thing he could do was to prepare for logistics. Therefore, he went to the Ministry of Revenue the next day to check the food situation north of the Yellow River. The war was logistical.

Daxingshan Temple.

"Father-in-law, what do you think?"

Dugu Wuyue looked at Cui Pingzhong with a little nervousness.

Cui Pingzhong put down the white paper with words in his hand, glanced at Cui Hongling next to him, shook his head and said, "This marching and war is not my main point. I don't want to comment on your strategy to pacify Goguryeo."

Dugu Wuyue said: "The father-in-law is always resourceful. The son-in-law hopes that the father-in-law can think of a way for the son-in-law to send his son-in-law to conquer Goguryeo. For a long time, the son-in-law has exhausted his family's wealth and sent people to sneak into Goguryeo and pay attention to Goguryeo's every move, just for today, I hope that the father-in-law can fulfill his son-in-law."

Cui Pingzhong sighed: "Wuyue, why are you doing this again?"

Dugu Wuyue said: "The ancestor died in Goguryeo, and his bones have not yet been cold. If he does not avenge this, his son-in-law will be a son in vain."

Cui Pingzhong said: "But hatred is insignificant compared to national security. Do you think it is very selfish when you fight for hatred?"

Dugu Wuyue said: "The son-in-law believes that this is a country's hatred and family hatred. Even the Emperor Taizong once said that he must avenge the Chinese children."

Cui Hongling suddenly spoke, "Dad, if you have a solution, please help Wuyue."

Cui Pingzhong glanced at Cui Hongling, and there was a very conflict between his eyebrows. Of course, he didn't want Dugu Wuyue to go to war. After all, Dugu's family was very sad, and most of them died on the battlefield. But at the same time, he also knew Dugu Wuyue's ambitions and would never be willing to be a hermit like his father. After thinking about it, he slowly said: "This court is different from war. There is only victory or defeat on the battlefield, but there is no right or wrong in the court. If you want to get the attention of Your Majesty, you must first cater to Your Majesty's wishes."

Dugu Wuyue was overjoyed when she heard this, but she couldn't figure out what Cui Pingzhong said, and said, "Young son-in-law is stupid, I don't know what her father-in-law means?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty also wants to eliminate Goguryeo and complete the unfinished great achievements of Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong. This is a common sense for human beings. But then again, even Emperor Taizong did not eliminate Goguryeo, so Your Majesty naturally felt worried. Moreover, His Majesty also dismissed the Liaodong battle and adopted a strategy of rest and recuperation, which greatly increased the national strength. Whether it is appropriate to attack Goguryeo at this time is still questionable. I believe this is why Your Majesty has rarely mentioned Goguryeo.

And this war was all caused by Silla, not the Tang Dynasty. If you send troops, you will be sending troops rashly. This is something that Your Majesty is even more unwilling to see. If Your Majesty decides to send troops to eliminate Goguryeo, then Your Majesty will definitely prepare for sure. However, Silla is crucial to our Tang Dynasty. Rescuing Silla is inevitable. It depends on how to save it. I believe this makes Your Majesty very embarrassed. If you can think of a way that can not only alleviate the danger of Silla and avoid big wars, then Your Majesty will definitely adopt your suggestions, and you will also receive the attention of Your Majesty. When Your Majesty decides to send troops to Goguryeo in the future, you will naturally think of you."

Dugu Wuyue frowned slightly, lowered her eyebrows and began to ponder.

Cui Pingzhong smiled faintly and said, "This is based on history as a mirror, which shows victory or defeat."

"Use history as a mirror?"

Dugu Wuyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I understand, thank you for your advice."

"I don't know if this is right or wrong."

Cui Pingzhong sighed softly and said, "But Wuyue, you have to remember one thing. Everything should be gradually gradually, and you should also know how to advance and retreat. If I command the commander, I will never use a person who is eager to take revenge. If you want to get your Majesty's favor, first of all, you have to let Your Majesty see your patience, not your urgency, because Your Majesty is not an impulsive king now, so you must also know how to make far-sighted. You can learn from Han Yi."

Dugu Wuyue said in a little puzzled manner: "Han Yi seems to be more impulsive than me, so she said that the last time the financial reform aroused opposition from all the civil and military officials of the court."

He had a lot of contact with Han Yi. He often felt that Han Yi was too arrogant and seemed to be completely unconsidered in his work. He was a little scared.
