It is a great thing to develop thousands of cavalry into ten thousand cavalry. Li Longji was particularly pleased with this.

"Crown Prince, do you have anything to say?" Li Dan looked at Li Longji very much.

"Father, my son, I think the battle against Tubo should be carried out as soon as possible." Li Longji said again.

"What? Fight Tubo?" The ministers were shocked.

Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies. Although Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Tubo would attack the Tang Dynasty from time to time, which made the Tang Dynasty very angry. The attack on Tubo was indeed a good thing, but it was too anxious, so everyone could not be surprised.

"Crown Prince, the attack on Tubo must be done. Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are irreconcilable. Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan is avenged, but he cannot be too anxious." Li Dan shook his head and said, "I have just ascended the throne and have many state affairs to deal with. This battle cannot be easily started. I have to let me stabilize domestic affairs before talking about it."

"Yes." Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi agreed with this.

When Li Danxin ascended the throne, his foundation was not stable enough. He first stabilized the country and then attacked Tubo. This is a safe plan.

"What the father said is reasonable, but time does not wait for anyone." Li Longji disagreed and said, "If I had no mistakes, Dashi would soon advance eastward. If we cannot defeat Tubo quickly, take down Dafeichuan, and ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor, then we will suffer a great loss in the battle with Dashi."

"Dashi? Dashi despises China and supports the Turks. But it will take a long time to go." Di Renjie took over the conversation and said, "There are still a lot of land between the two countries, which is very far apart. This battle cannot be fought in one or two years."

"Yes. What the Grand Master said was very true." Li Dan and Zhang Jianzhi agreed in unison.

They didn't really believe that the Arab Empire wanted to conquer China. This was verified when Muragu went on a mission.

"Yousuf is ambitious. He is determined to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enslave China. He originally hoped that the Turks could hold the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Turks are destroyed, his hope is shattered. Then, he will find another way and he will definitely send a large army to advance east." Li Longji was very confident. He said: "Although the journey between the two countries is long, as long as the Dashi advances eastward, the three or two thousand miles is not the same, and he will soon be occupied by the Dashi."

The Arab Empire is strong, and it is impossible for the small countries in Central Asia to stop the Arab Empire from advancing eastward. As long as Yousuf makes up his mind, these small countries will be destroyed soon.

"This..." Li Longji's words were very reasonable. Li Dan, Di Renjie, and Zhang Jianzhi were stunned.

"Crown Prince, you are said to be reasonable. However, the two countries are too far apart and cannot be replenished. This is a major event and will stump Yousuf." Zhang Jianzhi thought for a while and said, "At that time, Persia asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong thought about it repeatedly and thought that the road was too far and could not be replenished, so he refused to send troops."

Emperor Taizong of Tang refused to send troops to aid the Persian Empire, mainly because the Western Turks were not destroyed and blocked the only way for the Tang army to advance westward. Of course, the distance was long and the supply was not available, which was also a reason.

"Yes, this is a big deal. Without food and grass, how can we fight for big food?" Li Dan emphasized and agreed with this.

"Your Majesty, this matter is actually easy to solve." Zhang Shuo took over the conversation and said, "As long as Yousufu makes up his mind to conquer the Tang Dynasty, he can send a large army to advance eastward first, and take down these two places to raise food and grass."

Zhang Shuo stood up, walked to the giant map, pointed at Afghanistan and Pakistan, and said, "These two places are very close to the Tang Dynasty and are rich, so they can raise enough food and grass."

"Okay! Zhang said it!" Li Longji thought so too. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuo thought of this, and Li Longji greatly appreciated it.

"..." Li Dan, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi opened their mouths so hard that they couldn't close together for a long time.

They knew about these two places, and knew that they were rich, had a lot of food and grass. Moreover, these two places were very close to the Western Regions. If they were defeated by Dashi, they would become the strategic base of the Arab Empire, and the consequences were too serious.

At this moment, Jia Ming came in and greeted Li Dan and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Master Ni Nie is asking for a visit."

"Ni Ni Nie? What did he come to do? Let him come in." Although Li Longji didn't know what important things were about Ni Nie Nie's request for a visit, he decided to summon him.

Jia Ming went to take the Ni Nirvana Master and quickly turned around.

The Ni Nie Master is no longer the little old man he used to be. His face is full of red and his spirit is so bright that he is much younger.

It is no wonder that Ni Nirvana was ill in the past and wanted to return to his hometown, but he had no chance. Now, the opportunity is right, and the possibility of returning to his hometown has increased greatly, because the Tang Dynasty solved the Turks and could concentrate its troops against the Arab Empire, and he had hope of restoring the country.

"I've seen Your Majesty." The Ni Nishi Master hurriedly saluted Li Dan.

"Forgive." Li Dan waved his hand and asked, "Master Ni Nie, what's the point of seeing me?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I bring the news about Khorasan." The Ni Nishima answered quickly, "Yousuf is about to quell the rebellion of Khorasan. He has sent Gu Taibai and Muhammad to lead a 50,000 army eastward. Gu Taibai attacked both places here and here. Muhammad attacked Samarkand, and his troops were aimed at Saiye City."

While speaking, he walked to the map and pointed at Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"..." Li Dan opened his mouth wide and didn't say anything for a long time.

He didn't quite believe Li Longji's judgment just now. After a while, Ni Nie brought news about Khorasan and learned that Yousuf had advanced eastward, he could not help but be surprised.

Not only Li Dan was surprised, but who is not here?

"So fast!" Even Li Longji, who had expected it, was also surprised, because Dashi entered the East faster than he expected.

"What you said is true?" Li Dan finally realized for a long time and felt a little disbelief.

"It's true!" Ni Nishima said very confidently, "Since I became the governor of Persia, I have been sending people to return to my hometown to develop my power. Now it has been very effective. With the support of Manichaeists, it is not difficult to find out the news."

The value of Ni Nirvana is not only because he is a Persian prince, but also because he is able to find out the news, which has now been confirmed.

"Yousuf is so determined." Li Longji stood up and came to the map. He looked at the map and said, "He is divided into two groups. He raised food and grass all the way, and fought the passageways all the way. As long as these two people succeed, Yousuf can lead the army to advance eastward. By then, it will be a life-and-death battle."

"The prince said very well." Everyone was worried.

"What should I do?" Li Dan asked.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, our most urgent task is to defeat Tubo and regain Dafeichuan. Ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor." Di Renjie's eyes shining brightly, and he said, "It should be better to be sooner than later."

Dafeichuan is now in the Qinghai Lake area. After Xue Rengui was defeated, he was obtained by Tubo. After obtaining this place, Tubo's strength increased greatly. At the same time, it also became a strategic base for Tubo. Starting from Dafeichuan, it can threaten the Hexi Corridor.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight the Arab Empire, its primary task was to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor and not be threatened. To achieve this goal, it would have to defeat Tubo and seize Dafeichuan, otherwise it would be delusions.

"What the Grand Master said is very true, this battle should be carried out as soon as possible." Zhang Jianzhi also changed his mind.

"Okay!" Li Dan nodded and said, "Didn't Dashi want to conquer the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty fought to the death with Dashi! Well, the prince first advocated this battle and attacked Tubo, so he would leave it to the prince to deal with it with full authority."

Li Dan absolutely trusts Li Longji, and this gives Li Longji full authority.

"Thank you for your father." Li Longji received the order.

"Crown Prince, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Li Dan asked.

"Father, my son thinks that if you don't fight, you will be fine. Since you want to fight, you will defeat Tubo, making it difficult for Tubo to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty for 30 or 20 years." Li Longji raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "If you have the chance, you will destroy Tubo."

"Destroy Tubo? It's so difficult." Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Tubo turtles are hiding in the mountains and forests, and they can move forward and retreat freely. It's as difficult as climbing to heaven to destroy Tubo. It's a thousand times more difficult than destroying the Turks."

The national strength of the Turks was much stronger than that of Tubo, but because the desert was empty, it facilitated the large army to fight, and was eventually destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Tubo was different. Tubo was located in high mountains and dense forests, and it was easy to advance and retreat. No matter how many troops the Tang Dynasty sent, it was useless. To destroy Tubo, it was tantamount to dreaming.

"Yes, don't let it go if you have the chance." Li Longji knew this well.

"Then, as the prince said, fight a big battle." Li Dan finally made up his mind.

After discussing for a while, then it dispersed.

When he returned to the Eastern Palace, Li Longji summoned Yang Sixu and asked Yang Sixu to follow suit.

Although Yang Sixu was a eunuch, he was extremely smart, strong and resolute, and had great military talent. Li Dan had long wanted to keep him by his side, but because he wanted to ask him to find out the news in the palace, he did not keep him by his side. Now that Li Dan has ascended the throne, Yang Sixu no longer needs to stay in the palace. Naturally, if Li Longji would keep him by his side.

"Prince, this will be a big battle. We need a lot of money and food, and planning will be a big event." Yang Sixu reminded.

"Yeah." Li Longji agreed with this statement and said, "If Zhang said he was there, it's no problem."

Zhang said that Dacai Panpan Panpan, and letting him deal with the money and food matters naturally would not have any problems, which would make people feel at ease.

"Mr. Zhang is certainly awesome, but Mr. Zhang has great things, so he should plan the overall situation rather than manage money and food." Yang Sixu disagreed.

Zhang Shuoce is the best in the world, with great talent and a view of the overall situation. It would be better if he asked him to plan. However, Li Longji has no one to manage food and grass at the moment, so Zhang Shuo has to say.

"Do you have someone?" Li Longji was a little suspicious.

"The prince is right. I really know that there is only one person who can take on this important task." Yang Sixu nodded.

"Who?" If someone could handle the money and food matters and free Zhang Shuo, it would be a great thing, Li Longji asked hurriedly.

"Wang Maozhong." Yang Sixu recommended, saying, "This person was originally a Korean. Because his father violated the law, he was punished as a palace slave. He was good at managing and managed many things in the palace, in an orderly manner, and everyone praised him. If he was the one who managed money and food, there would definitely be no problem."

"Wang Maozhong?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and remembered the information about this person.
