Chapter 861 Contradictions

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. They no longer doubted the truth of this matter, so they immediately thought about the impact of this matter.

Although the Tang Dynasty rose strongly in recent years, destroyed the Eastern Turks and Gaochang Kingdoms and shocked the Western Regions, the thought of Goguryeo still makes people feel nervous.

Goguryeo is like a mountain pressing on people's hearts.

Because Emperor Yang of Sui once conquered Goguryeo three times, he sent millions of troops to return without success, which eventually led to severe damage to the Sui Dynasty and eventually defeat.

As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of a well rope, and everyone is afraid that the Tang Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the former Sui Dynasty.

However, if Goguryeo took the initiative to provoke a war, how could it not return it?

Therefore, if Goguryeo wanted to cause trouble, then the Tang Dynasty would not be afraid no matter what. Otherwise, wouldn’t the reputation that was hard-working to build will disappear?

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Goguryeo to be so bold! Do you really think that our Tang Dynasty dare not launch troops against Liaodong?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said without a smile: "The former Sui Dynasty won the three campaigns of Goguryeo and returned without success. Gao Jianwu made up his mind that we will take it as a warning and dare not move troops easily!"

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Our dynasty is intimidating the world. If Goguryeo dares to provoke the enemy, how could our dynasty not fight back?"

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling all thought that Goguryeo was going to fight against the Tang Dynasty. After all, if Goguryeo was going to fight against Silla or Baekje, Su Cheng would not need to be so nervous.

Li Shimin didn't explain after hearing this. He shook his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "This is the news received by Su Cheng, and there will definitely be no false, so I must prepare early!"

"If he dares to move troops, I will never sit idly by!"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji nodded slightly after hearing this. Of course, they couldn't sit idly by. How could anyone come to the door and even act like a turtle with a head-rettened person?

Besides, the Tang Dynasty is now in a strong state.

Since there is a change in Liaodong, it is natural to mobilize food and grass.

If Goguryeo really wants to have abnormal movements, you not only have to mobilize food and grass, but also to mobilize troops.

Changsun Wuji immediately raised the question of dispatching troops, but Li Shimin shook his head slightly after hearing this.

It's cold now, so it's too troublesome to transfer troops. Goguryeo is going to fight Silla anyway, so it's just a waste of food and supplies to mobilize troops at this time.

Moreover, he made up his mind to command the army in person, so it would be better to just send troops to the army when they send troops.

"Look at the situation when it comes to the dispatch of troops, let's talk about it clearly first!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Mobilizing food and grass is a meticulous and complicated job, which is quite troublesome, so there is a saying that the army will take the lead before it moves.

The three of them discussed it, and Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling left and hurriedly went to prepare for it.

Empress Changsun walked into the hall, with a smile on her lips and a very calm face.

Li Shimin stared at the queen with his eyes fixed on her face.

Empress Changsun said in surprise: "Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this? Can I have flowers on my face?"

"There is no flowers on the queen's face, but the queen's pretty face is better than any flower in the world!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Empress Changsun charmingly turned Li Shimin into white charmingly, and said as if she was angry and happy: "No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I'm tired of seeing them after seeing them too much!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I am a person who is always in love, but I won't get tired of it for how long!"

Although he was already an old husband and wife, Empress Changsun's face still felt a hint of shyness when she heard this.

Li Shimin carefully looked at Empress Changsun's face and smiled, "I thought you would be worried, but I didn't expect you to be worried at all!"

In fact, when the queen took her leave, he clearly saw a worried look on the queen's face. What's strange is that it's not long since, why is there no worried look on the queen's face?

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was a little worried. I just asked Su Cheng how sure Your Majesty is in the east, but he was actually 100% sure, so my worries disappeared!"

"Oh? Su Cheng actually said that I was 100% sure of the Eastern Expedition?" Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He was always full of confidence, but the queen was still worried. Why did the queen not worry when Su Cheng said that he was 100% sure?

Emperor Changsun explained with a smile: "Su Cheng said that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was better than that of the former Sui Dynasty, and artillery and muskets were all powerful weapons for siege. Putting aside these, there is one biggest difference between Emperor Yang of Sui and His Majesty's Eastern Expedition! "

After hearing this, Li Shimin's appetite was also suffocated and asked curiously: "Oh? The biggest difference? What is it?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "It's Your Majesty, you! In terms of military strategy, Emperor Yang of Sui could not catch up with Your Majesty even if he beats his horse!"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this: "Oh? So Su Cheng really said that?"

Empress Changsun smiled and nodded, "Of course I said that, no word is wrong!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. Ordinary ministers flattered Li Shimin without feeling anything, but a person like Su Cheng who is talented but not very flattered suddenly starts to flatter, which is unbearable.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "He also said it specifically. He is not flattering, he is telling the truth!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said, "Su Cheng is right. In terms of military strategy, Yang Guang really can't catch up with me even if he beats up!"

This is very proud, and Li Shimin does have such confidence.

"What else did Su Cheng say?" Li Shimin asked with a smile. Could it be that Su Cheng flattered him? He was a little unsatisfied with it.

No, Su Cheng is not flattering, this is to tell the truth.

Empress Changsun was waiting for the emperor's words and laughed: "Su Cheng also said that Emperor Yang of Sui had sent millions of troops in three eastern expeditions, and countless soldiers were conquered, but in vain, which shakes the foundation of the country."

"Su Cheng felt that there was no need to use so many large troops in the east to expedition to Goguryeo, and more than 100,000 was enough. Even if Goguryeo could not be destroyed, he could still win and return! So Su Cheng felt that he was sure."

There is another saying that Queen Changsun didn't say, that is, if it is futile, it will not shake the foundation of the country.

The reason why Empress Changsun said so much was to find out the emperor's tone.

Su Cheng said that more than 100,000 troops were enough, which made her hesitate.

After all, Emperor Yang of Sui was futile to send millions of troops. Can it really work if only a hundred thousand troops are allowed?

Therefore, Empress Changsun felt a little conflicted. On the one hand, she did not want to drive too many soldiers and was afraid of shaking the foundation of the country. On the other hand, she was afraid that she would drive too few soldiers and failed in the war.

In fact, the best way in her mind is to choose a general to lead an army of more than 100,000 to go to Goguryeo!

Of course, it is good to win like this, even if you lose, it will not have much impact on the Tang Dynasty.
