Chapter 249: If there is a war, it will be recalled

Zhang Nan's voice stopped Li Er.

"Qingquan, what's the matter with you?" Li Er put down the pen and asked.

"Your Majesty, can you allow your ministers to say a few words?" Zhang Nan asked.

"Naturally, you can say whatever you want." Li Erdao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he turned his head to Li Jing and said: "General, if you dare to ask the general, you will take the conquest of the Turks as the general's last battle, is the general satisfied?" ”

"The old man is naturally ......" Li Jingzheng wanted to say that he was satisfied, but he couldn't say it, after all, this expedition to the Turks, the army did not come in any big use at all, it was completely dependent on the strange soldiers to chase the Jieli grassland, and when he finally caught Jieli, he was not at the scene at all, if he wanted to say that he was satisfied, it must be fake.

"The general can't say it. Your Majesty, borrow a globe for use. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he picked up the globe on Li Er's table and held it up in front of Li Jing's eyes.

"The general looks at this great food country, the people there now believe in Islam, holding the Quran with a sword in one hand and the Quran in the other, all those who do not believe in their religion are aliens, they are all to be put to death, they are in the period of the four major caliphs, its territory extends from the Indus River in the east and the western border of China, to the Atlantic coast in the west, to the south of the Caspian Sea in the north, and to the Arabian Sea in the south, which is not comparable to a small Turk."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he turned the globe and continued: "The general is looking at the Byzantine Empire, which is what our Tang Dynasty calls the Roman State, which is a country that believes in Orthodox Christianity, and its territory once included western Asia and northern Africa, and at its peak, its territory also included Italy, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. They are very strong and advocate force, even with our current kamikaze crossbows, thunder and other things, I estimate that the winning rate is only three or seven at most. ”

"If the general does not dare to do anything against these countries that block my Tang Dynasty's conquest of the world, it can only prove that I have mistaken the general. It turned out that the general was so old that he didn't even have the courage to defeat the enemy. Zhang Nan's method of agitating the generals is very clumsy, but Li Jing is still provoked, a general, he can suffer defeat, he can also kill himself, but to say that a general is afraid of death and has no heart to conquer, it is a great insult to this general.

"Why doesn't the old man have the courage, if the emperor gives me enough soldiers, horses, grain and grass now, the old man can level these places for the emperor now." Li Jing said loudly.

"In that case, why should the general beg for bones? The general is the pillar of the country, so he retired, don't you feel a loss? Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Retirement?" Li Er and Li Jing said in unison.

"Oh, that is, a person who works quits his job because of old age or disability due to work or illness, and is completely or partially incapacitated to work. To put it simply, retirement due to disability and inability to work or old age and inability to move, and other retirement is four words, eating and waiting for death. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"The old man will not eat and wait for death, the old man will go to the Tang Military Academy to teach, and pass on the skills of this body without reservation." Li Jing stroked his beard and said.

"If there is another war, the emperor needs a part of the general's strength, what should the general do?" Zhang Nan asked.

"That old man is naturally obliged, even if he gives up this old bone, as long as the emperor needs it, the old man will naturally continue to fight for the emperor." Li Jing said firmly.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he turned to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, what else is the emperor not worried about?" General Li Jing is all if there is a war, he will be recalled, and the emperor will not fulfill General Li Jing? ”

Li Er nodded and said, "With the words of the pharmacist, I am relieved, it seems that I want the pharmacist to fight for me, so I have to prepare for the next battle as soon as possible." Li Er said with a smile.

After Li Er finished speaking, he waved his pen and agreed to Li Jing's "retirement application".

"By the way, in the afternoon, I want to give credit to the pharmacist, you generals who went out on the expedition, and the pharmacist should prepare well." Li Erdao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Li Er agreed to retire.

Li Er also smiled and waved his hand, after all, Li Jing said everything about this, Li Er couldn't say it if he didn't agree, what did Li Jing think in his heart, Li Er's heart was as bright as a mirror, but everyone still understood this kind of thing in their hearts.

Li Jing left, and Li Er asked Zhang Nan: "Qingquan, what do you think of the pharmacist's beggar bones." ”

"Then how else can you look at it, this General Li Jing is indeed old, it is not surprising that he has this request." Zhang Nan said.

Hearing Zhang Nan's answer, Li Er didn't continue to ask, but said, "By the way, what are you going to do with these 100,000 Turkic slaves." ”

"Repair the Datang Medical College first, after all, the emperor promised Sun Daochang, and Sun Daochang also helped the military academy do a lot of things, and also trained the cadets of the military academy to give first aid on the battlefield, I think the emperor has to do what he promised Sun Daochang." Zhang Nan thought about it and said.

"Well, it's the same as I thought, but it won't take as many people as 100,000 people to build a Datang Medical College, what about the rest." Li Erdao.

"The rest of the people will be sent to the border to repair the city wall, if it is not used up, then where there is a disaster for them to go, after all, this is free labor, no need to use it in vain, and the more the emperor uses these Turks, the higher the emperor's prestige in the hearts of the people, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"You're right, I also have this plan, if only I could be exempted from the world's conscription, this is a feat that has never been done, if I do it, I must go to Mount Tai to seal Zen." Li Er showed a look of fascination.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry, as long as this labor reform is used properly, it is certain that he will be exempted from forced labor, but it is only a matter of time." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"I understand, but these 100,000 Turkic slaves seem to be a lot, but my territory in the Tang Dynasty is vast, and if I really want to scatter these 100,000 Turkic slaves carefully, it will undoubtedly be that the mud cow will never return to the sea, and it will not be enough at all. I'm going to plan my next battle from now on. After Li Er finished speaking, he focused his eyes on the map and began to choose the opponent for the next time.

"Qingquan, tell me how long it will take me to fight this Goguryeo." Li Er suddenly saw a place and asked.

"This ...... I really don't know. This Zhang Nan didn't lie, because the first time Comrade Li Er started with Goguryeo was in Zhenguan for 19 years, and there are still 15 years to go, who knows what the Tang Dynasty can develop into in 15 years, if more thermal weapons can be created, then it is estimated that it will take a few months to destroy Goguryeo.
