What is the chance of winning?

Of course the chance of victory is very high!

Although Li Shimin, with more than 100,000 troops in history, failed to destroy Goguryeo, he also beat Goguryeo very badly.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty now has sharp firearms that can attack cities and villages, and cotton coats that can keep warm.

If Li Shimin was in charge of the army, would he be worse than before?

If there is a chance of winning, of course there is a great deal.

So Su Cheng actually wanted to tell the civil and military ministers, "Old people, the times have changed, now it is the Tang Dynasty, not the former Sui Dynasty."

However, the person in front of me was Wei's big troll. Su Cheng didn't want to be washed by Wei Zheng's spit. He smiled and said, "What's the chance of winning? It's hard to say. After all, I'm young and have little experience, so I have to make a long-term plan for this matter."

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and pondered: "What you said is true!"

Su Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he sent Wei Zheng out of the mansion. It was rare that Wei Zheng did not even squirt.

After leaving Sujiazhuang, Wei Zheng's brows were frowning tightly.

He had to admit that what Su Cheng said made sense. When everyone heard that the Eastern Expedition was like being bitten by a snake for ten years, they were afraid of a well rope, but they thought about the chances of winning if the Eastern Expedition were.

Therefore, Wei Zheng couldn't help thinking carefully. What if the Eastern Expedition was the same?

Just as the whole of Chang'an was hotly discussed, the emperor summoned a group of important officials in the court to meet with Liangyi Hall.

As Duke Rong and General of Shenji Camp, Su Cheng was naturally summoned.

This summoning attracted attention from the government and the public because even the children in the city knew what the emperor's summoning was.

If you still don’t send troops, maybe you will get a result today!

Liangyi Hall was still as quiet as usual, but when they walked into the hall, everyone felt the atmosphere was unprecedentedly stagnant.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin said solemnly: "Good all the officials, please calm down. Today I summon all the officials to come here, and I will ask for help from the envoys of Silla for nothing else. I think whether the court should send troops?"

"Your Majesty, I feel it is time to send troops. Goguryeo really doesn't take Your Majesty seriously if you don't talk about the Tang Dynasty!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to jump out and said.

Originally, Su Cheng told him that the emperor was interested in sending troops. Yesterday he heard the news that the emperor had not read the memorial but had been looking at the map, so he became more and more convinced of Su Cheng's words.

The emperor really intends to send troops, so why are hesitating?

Yuchi Gong was not behind, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is time to send troops to save Silla. If Goguryeo annexes Silla, its strength will definitely increase greatly. Goguryeo has a wolfish ambition. If its strength increases greatly, it will definitely become a disaster!"

Chu Suiliang immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am against sending troops. After all, Goguryeo did not launch troops against our Tang Dynasty. Besides, the former Sui army was still unable to conquer Goguryeo, so I think it is not appropriate to start the war easily, so I might as well send someone to Goguryeo to reprimand!"

The ministers in the court quarreled endlessly, and today they were just a repeat of the scene in Liangyi Hall.

Li Shimin's face was still calm. The civil officials quoted the scriptures and the military generals shouted loudly to refute. However, what made him a little confused was why Wei Zheng's firepower seemed to be not very strong today.

After looking around, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but fall on Su Cheng and asked, "Su Cheng, why haven't you ever seen you speak?"

When the emperor finally spoke, the ministers suddenly calmed down and their eyes fell on Su Cheng.

Su Cheng bowed his hands slightly and smiled, "Your Majesty, I have been listening, and I think what everyone said makes sense."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It was already this time, and Su Cheng actually wanted to mix with Xixi? What did he think?

Cheng Yaojin and others kept winking Su Cheng. They thought Su Cheng was stupid today. They knew that His Majesty wanted to send troops to the war, but they still wanted to mix with him?

Li Shimin's expression did not change much, and he seemed to listen carefully.

Su Cheng seemed to have no idea of ​​the eyes of the people and continued: "The three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty conquered millions, returned in vain, wasted the people and the money, and laid the disaster of the country's destruction, which was indeed a lesson from the past!"

"If we don't go to war, we will sit and watch the destruction of the vassal state, which will be a great blow to our Tang Dynasty's prestige. Moreover, Goguryeo annexed Silla and Baekje, and its strength will greatly increase, and it will be full of dangers!"

Everyone knows what Su Cheng said. I have heard it many times, and my ears are almost calloused.

Su Cheng continued: "I haven't spoken because I have been thinking about a question. If I learn from the lessons of the former Sui Dynasty and only send more than 100,000 troops, what is the chance of winning?"

If you only send more than 100,000 troops, it won’t be a waste of money!

Then the question arises. If you only send more than 100,000 troops, how likely will you win?

You must know that all the former Sui Zhengfu returned in vain.

Li Shimin pondered: "Su Cheng's words have come to the point. If only one sends more than 100,000 troops, what is the chance of winning? Everyone may wish to discuss it!"

For a moment, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were musing, obviously thinking.

Li Shimin turned to look at Su Cheng and asked, "Su Cheng, since you have been thinking about it all the time, then you can talk about it first!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I have indeed thought a lot in the past two days, but because I have not led the troops, I do not understand the combat power of each army, so I can only briefly talk about it."

"First, our military advisor is famous! It was Goguryeo who took the lead in provoking the war. Our army was to help the vassal states resist the attack and conquer the brutal country, and was a righteous army!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This is indeed a master who is famous.

Su Cheng continued: "This is the second, Your Majesty is wise! This is not a flattery. Compared with the king of Emperor Yang of Sui, His Majesty led his troops to sweep the world with great martial arts. Since he ascended the throne, he has known people and used them well, and his country has been strong."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded again after hearing this. His Majesty is of course incomparable to Emperor Yang of Sui, and the emperor's saint is of course very important.

Su Cheng continued to smile and said, "This third point is harmony. Although the former Sui Dynasty conquered millions, but the people's hearts were disintegrated, what's the use? On the contrary, our dynasty is united and the top and bottom are united, and the gold is cut off!"

Everyone pondered for a moment and nodded again. Compared with the chaos in the former Sui Dynasty, the current Tang Dynasty's political harmony can indeed be regarded as the word "human harmony".

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but nod. Su Cheng said all three points well and saw them clearly.

Su Cheng continued: "This fourth point is a bit boasting. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Liaodong is hard and cold. The most difficult thing to send troops to Liaodong is the severe cold. When the Sui Dynasty conquered Liaodong, it was frozen to death and frostbite. It not only reduced the number of people, but also greatly damaged morale. But we can be afraid of the severe cold with cotton coats!"

"There are also muskets and artillery, especially artillery, which are really powerful tools for siege and deciding villages!"
