Bai Fan smiled bitterly, how can there be a perfect strategy in the world? The Great Dao is fifty days and forty-nine, and the Heavenly Dao is still lacking one of them, I don't know where you get your self-confidence?

"According to this battle of the heart, there is no need to mobilize troops, just after the autumn harvest, on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, pile up a mountain of grain, and then our people eat and drink every day, as long as there are people in Goguryeo who are greedy, and finally can't stand the hunger, it is a steady stream of Goguryeo people to return to Tang.

However, in this way, our 200,000 troops on the border may no longer be able to obtain military exploits, and without military exploits, they will not be promoted, and they will not be rewarded with wealth and wealth. ”

As soon as Bai Fan reminded him, Li Er instantly understood, the Tang Dynasty is heavily armed, and the common people want to come out, joining the army is often the fastest way, although a big battle has countless casualties and is extremely dangerous, but there are countless people looking forward to it.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, who is not greedy for wealth? Once the general succeeds and the bones are dry, the general wants to leave a name in history, but doesn't he rely on one war after another? Now that there is no big war, it is estimated that the generals will no longer be useful, and if they don't handle this well, they will cause chaos.

Even if you don't talk about generals, those ordinary soldiers who want to get ahead with their martial arts are also looking forward to war, Datang is basically no shortage of food and drink now, so after food and clothing, the people will have something to pursue, from the army to defend the country, high-ranking officials are generous, but they are all major events of glory and glory, if there is no war, what is the glory of ancestors?

At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Jian Zhi's words are wrong.

Datang has prepared 300,000 troops to destroy the country this time, but how many of them intend to get rich through war? I'm afraid it's less than 12 out of 10.

Since ancient times, every time the conscription in the big war is the suffering of the people, they are the people who have experienced the troubled times, no one likes war, because war means casualties, even if the last time Gaochang used 30,000 thunderbolts to break 100,000, we also suffered thousands of casualties.

Maybe 30,000 people is insignificant, but in the Tang Dynasty, that is thousands of families, I'm afraid none of them are rich, if it weren't for the poverty of the family, who would want to be a soldier and eat that desperate military ration?

Therefore, if we can really win without a fight, then there will be no more casualties among the 300,000 troops, and the country will not have more tragedies because of the war, which is a great thing.

Whether it is from the perspective of the development of the imperial court or from the perspective of the common people's families, if there is a good policy, why take care of the ambitions of a few people? ”

Fang Xuanling's words made many civil officials nod their heads and praise, in the end, it is the appearance of a country, and his vision is so old that he can say it.

If there are casualties in the war, the large amount of pension alone is a lot of expenses, and now the welfare of the Tang Dynasty soldiers has been greatly improved, a family has fallen in battle, the elderly in the family are supported by the court, and the young heirs in the family are also raised and educated by the court, so to speak, this is the heavy burden on the shoulders of the court.

To be able to win without a fight, not only to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, but also to reduce the burden of court expenses, the people's families can also be satisfied, everyone is happy, try to ask which country does not want to see?

Li Jiancheng said: "That's right, the cost of the war is huge, and the loss of soldiers will cost additional expenses, and the account of one in and one out is not small, not cost-effective, too cost-effective."

If there is a way to win without a fight, this king is the first to support it.

As for the fighting spirit of our front-line soldiers, the household department funded and gave everyone an additional 30% of the military salary as a reward for their hard work along the way. ”

Li Er glanced at his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and gave the other party a roll of the eyes in his heart, the eldest brother was generous at this time, in the past, when it came to the issue of war and military expenses, the eldest brother immediately turned into an iron rooster, which was simply a dime, more shrewd than Bai Fan, the richest man in the world, every time the two brothers talked about the grain and grass of the military department, it was a vicious battle of wits and courage.

Du Ruhui looked at the emperor who didn't speak for a while, in fact, he knew in his heart that His Majesty Li Er was reluctant, although there were many benefits in this way, but there were not no disadvantages, in the eyes of everyone in the art of war in the world, they could see through it at a glance.

And when it comes to the art of war in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the god of war Li Jing, I am afraid that he has to say a word of admiration to Li Er, the general of Tiance, who was the king of Qin, and the sentence that the king of Qin defeated half of the Tang Dynasty is not boastful.

Winning without a fight is indeed a high theory for the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo, and it is a good strategy to win with one blow, but it is not necessarily for the Tang Dynasty, of course, it refers to long-term development, because His Majesty Li Er's vision is very far-reaching.

After destroying Goguryeo, he also had to destroy the Western Turks, Tibet, the Western Regions, and so on, and it is even estimated that he still wanted to move troops to the west to occupy it during his lifetime.

There are countless wars in the future, but there are not so many that can be won without a fight, so in Li Er's eyes, the Tang Dynasty is a must-win battle against Goguryeo, this is an excellent time to train the soldiers, not only to train the murderous spirit of the recruits under the condition of controlling casualties, so that they can become qualified veterans, but also to enhance the confidence of the Tang army to win, and win morale for the later wars.

Therefore, as an emperor, Li Er will not think about becoming famous like a military general, nor will he think about internal revenue and expenditure like a civil servant, the emperor's first thought is the role of the future hegemony.

Du Ruhui was sure that Lantian Hou Baifan must have thought of this a long time ago, maybe this was the reason why he was just pondering and didn't want to point it out.

There are civil and military forces in the council hall, and now it is pointed out that in the face of the civil and military ministers, if the emperor chooses the beginning of the war, although he is domineering, he will be obstructed by the ministers, scholars, etc., and even affect the morale of the army. Don't you care about my life?

So this matter has been broken, and I'm afraid the emperor has already had to nod and agree.

Du Ruhui, who wanted to do something about it, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to reconcile the contradictions. ”

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged: "Aiqing speak quickly." ”

"Since Jian Zhi's plan is to show off our wealth at the border after the autumn harvest, so as to win over the people of Goguryeo to the Tang Dynasty.

Then it doesn't have to be deliberately done by ordinary people, just use our 200,000 troops to eat and drink every day, the soldiers are also ordinary people, and our marching food is full of meat, which shows the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the soldiers also have the advantage of preventing the red-eyed Goguryeo army from sneaking up on the attack, and they can also snub the opponent's military morale.

In this way, although our army did not fight and fight, but there were many war achievements, who said that eating and drinking to lure the people is not a war achievement? As long as the established strategy of destroying the country is completed, it will be a great achievement to destroy the country.

Divide the army, which army attracts more people, that army has more achievements, so that it is the best of both worlds, and there is no need to worry about the ideological problems of the front-line soldiers. ”
