To know the history, Goguryeo dispatched more than 150,000 troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

This kind of force can be said to be rare in the vicinity of Datang, even if the Turks did not necessarily have this kind of force before.

Not to mention that the Turks are all soldiers, but Goguryeo does not, and there are many Goguryeo above the natural population.

In addition, the territory of Goguryeo is small, and there are some advantages, that is, there is not much place to defend.

On the contrary, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and there are too many places that need to be defended, on the land of Liaodong.

It is also not so easy for the Tang Dynasty's troops to defeat Goguryeo, at most by one or two.

If you want to crush the number of people, it is simply impossible, and of course Goguryeo also has obvious shortcomings.

That is, resources are scarce, and it may be able to pull up more than 100,000 soldiers and horses for a while, but after these soldiers and horses are consumed.

This means that in the next many years, Goguryeo will not recover at all.

On the contrary, if Datang loses more than 100,000 people, it will not hurt its muscles and bones.

Now the population of Datang is still tens of millions even if it is a war.

It can be said that it is not difficult to pull up a team, of course, there are still many bad effects behind this.

If it were not a last resort, it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath of so many deaths.

Just when Shu An was discussing, at this time, in the camp, Li Shimin and many generals were hesitating.

Among them, Li Shimin, who was sitting in the first place in the middle, couldn't help but show a trace of contemplation on his face.

In the past few days, the situation in Liaodong has also been the key to their discussions.

It's just that there has been no result, and the reason is simple, that is, they have no determination to win.

Now Liaodong has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on both sides.

It can be said that once a war starts, it will inevitably be an earth-shattering war.

You must know that even in the previous troubled times, there were only a few wars of this scale.

Of course, if the reason for the undecided decision is not because of this one.

This emperor naturally did not lack determination, and the main hesitation was whether to really start a war with Goguryeo.

After all, Li Shimin will not forget, the main thing is to look at the battle situation in the grassland.

As for Liaodong, it's good to hold on, even if the news of the grassland is now known to Liaodong.

But these forces in Liaodong are also destined not to have too many ideas, because now Liaodong also has some of its own difficulties.

It's already a mess, where will there be ideas to take care of the affairs of the grassland.

"I don't know what everyone here thinks of Liaodong?"

Li Shimin finally took the lead in speaking out, wanting to hear what these people thought.

If you brainstorm ideas, you might be able to come up with some better ideas.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested sending troops to Goguryeo to raise the prestige of my Tang Dynasty."

A captain from the forbidden army said with some innocence on his face.

In his opinion, Goguryeo was just a small country, and there was no need to make a big move.

Li Shimin glared at the captain and recognized this person.

is a lieutenant who entered the Praetorian Guard through a relationship, and Li Shimin naturally turned a blind eye.

I didn't expect it to look okay, but I have a lot of arrogance.

Looking at a sentence, he knew that he had not studied the situation in Liaodong, and in the face of this captain, Li Shimin had already been sentenced to death in his heart.

Such a person would never be allowed to lead the troops, but after the first person spoke, the next one spoke.

"Your Majesty, for the time being, the purpose is to stabilize Liaodong."

"Yes, although the grassland has a lot of certainty, it is better to be just in case."

........

Voices rang out in the big tent, and there was a hint of conservatism in the words.

You must know that most people still support conservatism, especially some of the captains in the forbidden army are not the stunned young people before.

They still know a lot about themselves, and they don't have any advantage over Goguryeo.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers alone, the forbidden army is definitely much worse than the Goguryeo soldiers.

The reason is that Goguryeo often fought, and if the forbidden army was forbidden, there were even many recruits.

Naturally, these people don't want to have disputes, so they can just come to Liaodong to achieve their goals.

There is also a lot of credit for returning to Chang'an in this way, and it can be said that these people naturally don't want to make extraneous branches.

"I don't know what Mao Gong thinks?"

However, in the face of these discussions, Li Shimin did not show any expression, but looked at Li Tao, who had not spoken up, and asked out loud.

Li Tao was stunned for a while, but after pondering for a while, his voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, if you don't make a move, then Goguryeo will inevitably look down on you."

"And if there is no war, then after His Majesty returns to Chang'an, maybe Goguryeo will try to provoke the Tang Dynasty."

......

After a lot of time in Liaodong, Li Tao also knew a lot about Goguryeo.

In his opinion, Goguryeo was a wolf, and it was also a wolf that could not be fed.

Among them, he once invaded the border pass of Liaodong, and Li Tao has fought many times, so he is naturally no stranger.

Hearing Li Tao's words, Li Shimin's eyes had a slight brilliance.

Obviously, Li Tao's words fell into the hands of this emperor, not that Li Shimin wanted to prove anything.

But Li Shimin knew that there must be a battle in Liaodong, and now although the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops.

But Goguryeo was also dragged down a lot by Silla, and it can be said that it was almost the same on the battlefield.

As Li Tao's words fell, the camp also fell silent.

The reason is very simple, that is, the status of this prince in the camp is also not low.

To know that the previous generals and princes were all involved in the plan of the grassland, Liaodong was an accident.

In addition, he has to stay in various places, and this is the only one who appeared this time.

Liaodong, which was originally garrisoned by Li Tao, has more right to speak.

Of course, this prince also said a lot of truth, and sooner or later there will be a war with Goguryeo.

All of a sudden, there was silence in the camp, and it was nothing if it was fought, the key was that there was no certainty of victory.

On top of the facts, how to fight is the key, and the decision has basically been decided.

Many people naturally saw the different emotions of this emperor, and it was obviously clear that this emperor had made a decision.

In fact, Li Shimin also made a decision at this time, and he had an idea before.

Now that Li Tao said it, he has strengthened Li Shimin's thoughts, as for the certainty of whether he can win.

"It depends on the Father, what means are there."

That's right, Li Shimin remembered this father again, but he knew that this father was not simple.

Even the key to victory depends on the Father, as for why he believes so.

This emperor is not clear, but there is always an inexplicable trust.
