Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2029 Conspiracy
The brief meeting in the Yamen of Mayi City Mansion did not reach any conclusions. Individuals dispersed one after another to prepare the army and prepare for the battle. After waiting for the exact news from the front again, decide whether to send troops and how many troops to send... …

After a while, Fang Jun sent someone to call Li Siwen, Zhang Daxiang and Qu Tuquan over.

Xue Wanche is an idiot, commanding him to go into battle to kill the enemy is a good hand, but his mind is simple and unpredictable, he is easy to be tricked by others, and some secret things cannot be shared with him.

In contrast, he trusts his friends more...

Zhang Daxiang sat down and asked: "Erlang just said half of what he said, what is his intention?"

Among all the people, only this person is thoughtful and considerate.

It's just that his personality is a bit Buddha-like, he doesn't fight, grab, be greedy, or take possession. Anyway, his father Zhang Gongjin's meritorious deeds are there, which is enough to benefit generations. He usually just enjoys himself and never fights too much with others. Put it in your eyes...

In history, Zou Guogong, the official of the household department, has a clean and honest official voice and is kind to others. His family has been prosperous for generations, and there are many outstanding descendants. Although he has never been famous, he has long-lasting blessings.

This is a very smart man...

Fang Jun deliberated, organized his words, looked at several people and said slowly: "The one in front of us will be an excellent opportunity to go down in history, should we take it or discard it?"

Li Siwen has an impulsive personality, while Qu Tuquan is brave and unparalleled, neither of them quite understand what Fang Jun means.

Even if he won a complete victory in the war with Xue Yantuo, how can such a little meritorious service be called a name and go down in history?
What's more, if you go to war without His Majesty's will, which affects the situation in Liaodong, and misses His Majesty's plan to conquer Goguryeo, it will be a great fortune not to be beheaded by the furious emperor...

Zhang Daxiang thought about it carefully, then changed his color and said, "Erlang, you are... planning to block Bai Daochuan, right?"

Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "Either you don't fight, if you fight, it's just to block Bai Daochuan, it's just to eat Dadu She's team, what's the use of doing nothing? Why don't you do nothing and go straight through Bai Daochuan, plunge into Mobei, and go straight to Dujun Yu Mountain!"

"hiss……"

"Mother!"

Several people and friends were stunned...

This is too crazy, right?
Right now, the Tang army in Shuozhou, apart from the frontier army in Mayi City, only has Youwuwei and Youtunwei. The two guards and horses together only have more than [-] people. It is impossible to wipe out Dadu's headquarters. The people of Xue Yantuo had no choice but to retreat and flee across the vast Chile River. If they really went straight to the Yudujun Mountain as Fang Jun said, they would have to separate a part to guard Mayi City and Dingxiang City to prevent the Turks. After being blocked by Bai Daochuan, the people retreated without a way, and crazily destroyed.

Then the number of people who can be mobilized into Mobei can only be a mere [-].

With a force of [-], they raided Dujun Yu Mountain in the midst of severe winter... Do you think you are Huo Qubing or Li Jing?
Zhang Daxiang shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again: "No, no, this move is too risky, and the entire army will be wiped out at any time, it is absolutely not advisable! Xue Yantuo led the army into Monan because of his magnanimity. It will definitely lead to the emptiness of Mobei , but Yu Dujun Mountain is where Yinan Khan Yazhang is located, and his eldest son Ba Zhuo must lead an army to guard against the ambitious tribes in his country. Tens of thousands of horses, how can they defeat Ba Zhuo on Yu Dujun Mountain There are more than [-] iron cavalry? If we can't capture the tooth tent of Yinan Khan, even if we stretch across the entire Mobei Daqi, it will be of no help, and it will be like scratching an itch. If the more than [-] Xue Yantuo cavalry guarding How is Dujun Yu Mountain... different from hitting a rock with an egg?"

Resolutely refuted Fang Jun's delusion.

That's right, in his opinion, this is simply an opportunity to go down in history, but an idea that couldn't be worse...

Qu Tuquan also said: "Let's not talk about whether we can go directly to Dujun Mountain, it is only a few days before the beginning of spring, and the Eastern Expedition has already started. There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the border of Liaodong, and the food and fodder are like mountains and iron cavalry. If we Brazenly invading Mobei will inevitably cause Xue Yantuo and Datang to completely tear their skins apart, and the superficial harmony will disappear. Xue Yantuo's eastern border borders Liaodong. If you obstruct it, His Majesty will crush all our eggs..."

The words are rough, but the reasoning is not rough.

Right now, His Majesty Li Er's heart is to flatten Goguryeo, bring it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, achieve unprecedented feats through the ages, and lay the most solid foundation for his ambitious hegemony.

Whoever dares to destroy it is the life and death enemy of His Majesty Li Er!
It's easy to squeeze and explode the eggs. If you change to other generals, you can simply give you the Yi tribe...

Fang Jun was a little annoyed, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty is confused by the obsession of 'one emperor through the ages', and all he wants is to conquer Goguryeo. What's so rare about that ruined place? Grasslands and deserts, that's what the empire should persevere and let go forever." A threat to primacy!"

In fact, except for His Majesty Li Er and other emperors who had ulterior motives for capturing Goguryeo, many dynasties in history have dismissed this piece of land.

First of all, it is too far away from the center of the dynasty, so it is difficult to control.

Most of the Central Plains dynasties were located in Guanzhong or Jiangnan, all in the hinterland of China. They were separated from Goguryeo by either the vast sea or the mountains of Liaodong. The geographical isolation made it difficult to control and manage the entire territory of Goguryeo. If you can't keep it, why fight?

Furthermore, Goguryeo is poor...

Goguryeo is sparsely populated and the climate is bitter and cold. If it is occupied, a large army must be stationed and patrolled along the long border and coastline. The military expenditure is enough to bring down any empire.

As for collecting taxes?

Sorry, Goguryeo's poor jingle rings, and there is no tax to collect at all.

The nobles of Goguryeo could unscrupulously exploit and rule the people, scraping the ground and sucking the bones, but if the foreign empire wanted to do this, the result would only be a mess of wars everywhere, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

Although the Western Regions are far away from the Central Plains, at least there is an oily Silk Road and the most scarce resources of war horses in the Central Plains. This is also the reason why many dynasties in history would rather spend their military resources to conquer the Western Regions, but dismiss Goguryeo. where.

Goguryeo's geographical environment is very poor. It is surrounded by sea on three sides and has a long and narrow area. It has no strategic depth at all. Once it has the ambition to covet the territory of the Central Plains, the Central Plains dynasty will be wiped out in minutes. Why bother to include it? Territory, strengthen the rule?
As long as he nominally submits to the Central Plains Dynasty and does not add chaos to it, he will be allowed to settle down and dominate...

Moreover, Fang Jun, who came from later generations, knows well that the residents on this peninsula are ignorant, narrow-minded, arrogant and inferior. They are eroded and conquered by the Han culture, but at the same time they clamor for "the first class on the earth", with superficial and wretched personalities. Hypocrisy and lack of ambition will never be the confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's not that such a nation is not worth conquering, but it's not that they don't need to be taken seriously. They can free up their hands in their spare time and cannibalize them bit by bit every minute, instead of galloping around with great fanfare, forcing them to fight with their backs , resist to the death.

Compared with Goguryeo, the nomadic peoples rising and falling on the grassland are the confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Dog Rong, Huns, Turks, Huihe, Mongolia, Manchuria... These barbaric nations that pop up one after another are the existence that can endanger the lifeline of China's foundation!
In history, Xue Yantuo did not cause too much threat or harm to the Tang Dynasty, but Huihe, who was sheltered under Xue Yantuo's wings, finally sucked flesh and blood on Xue Yantuo's torso and gradually became stronger, unified the tribes of Tie Le, dominated the desert grassland, and the territory Covering thousands of miles, even once invaded the Central Plains, burned, killed and looted, bringing endless trauma to Datang!

Three times in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's daughter, that is, the true princess, married a foreign family and relatives, all of which happened after the rise of Huihe, and they all married Huihe Khan...

The Turks fell, and now Huihe, Khitan, Shiwei, and Heishui Mohe, who are growing on the grasslands, are the natural enemies of China!
A mere Goguryeo, why bother with him?

Just like Emperor Sui Yang did for Goguryeo's loss of soldiers and generals to shake the foundation of the country, the loss outweighs the gain...

Several people were a little silent.

How to refute this?

They are all courtiers, talking about the right and wrong of the emperor behind their backs, that is what the most stupid people would do, Fang Jun said with emotion, it was already too much, so naturally everyone would not continue talking.

Zhang Daxiang shook his head to dissuade him: "Erlang, don't be greedy for meritorious deeds, even if His Majesty won't punish us, is it enough to attack Dujun Yu Mountain with a mere [-] to [-] troops? It's too dangerous to take."

Fang Jun was speechless.

What can he say?
Said he was convinced that his troops armed with firearms had a natural advantage over cavalry?

Of course, the muskets are still a bit short, but the right guard cavalry with Zhentianlei is enough to tear up all the cavalry in front of them?

Even if it's just annihilating Dadu Set's part, that would be a magnificent feat!
