Li Shimin

"Exactly, if His Royal Highness King Jin wants to eat beef, my old Cheng heard that in Tubo, those Tubo raise a lot of long-haired cattle. When I destroy Tubo, I will drive those cows back to Chang'an , Your Highness, please enjoy yourself!"

"Tuban, yak?"

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was filled with interest.

"I don't know if Su Guogong is sure, when will Tubo be destroyed?"

Forehead!

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's face was filled with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help laughing.

A general who has been in the army for a long time is used to bragging and talking big when eating.

This time, fortunately, I didn't drink alcohol, otherwise I'm afraid Cheng Laohua would dare to say that Tubo would be wiped out tomorrow!

"Xuanba, Tubo is located on a high mountain, and the weather is very cold all year round. Most importantly, as long as our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go up, they will have difficulty breathing and suffer from Qi disease. It is not easy to attack Tubo!"

Li Shimin sighed, picked up a large skewer of meat, and tore it off.

The mouth is full of force, as if the meat skewer in the mouth is regarded as the Tubo in the western part of the Tang Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to get yak meat!"

Although there was no good wine to promote the atmosphere, but out of habit, once sitting in this environment, the desire to speak appeared in Li Xuan's mouth.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others all looked at Li Xuan with interest.

"Xuanba, what kind of trick do you have?"

"Your Majesty, if my Tang soldiers can't attack Tubo, then Tubo can send all those yaks down!"

Li Xuan thought for a moment, then said again: "Tubo is a tribe, we can exchange some supplies that Tubo doesn't have in exchange for their yaks."

"Material?"

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, "Xuanba, salt and steel are absolutely unacceptable!"

"Your Majesty thinks too much!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not that stupid!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Li Xuan continued: "In Tubo, there will also be nobles. And these nobles, they must be like the dignitaries in my Tang Dynasty, who like to enjoy themselves. Then, they must need silk, glass mirrors, ceramics, and even beautiful woolen clothes Those ones!"

"Your Majesty, there is no lower limit for nobles and businessmen to pursue making money. They will take risks only if they can make a profit. If the profit can be doubled, they will dare to defy the laws of the Tubo king. If the profit is quadruple, Your Majesty , Do you think they will risk beheading and do some crazy things?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help but change their expressions, looking at Li Xuan's chuckling eyes, they were startled.

However, they agree with what Li Xuan said.

In the Tang Dynasty, those dignitaries and businessmen were all like this, not to mention those barbarian nobles with great power.

Even, they want to support those rich and powerful to seize power, those barbarian nobles dare to do it!

"Furthermore, those yaks that are full of hair and not of much use should be exchanged for the precious objects of my Tang Dynasty. Those dignitaries in Tubo should be very happy!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, if we increase the price of Tibetan yaks in order to eat some yak meat, will those nobles in Tubo start fighting themselves for the sake of profit? Start robbing pastures and grazing yaks? Even, there will be a big commotion , start fighting directly?"

"Even if my Datang buys more yaks, the countries in Tuyuhun will start to envy them, will they compete with the rich and powerful in Tubo for the chassis and raise yaks?"

"Then, when they raise all those pastures with yaks and stop raising horses and other animals, I, Tang Dynasty, will directly reduce the price, or stop buying yaks? Will the economies of Tubo and Tuyuhun countries collapse, causing chaos? ?”

"If my Tang Dynasty adds another fire, will those barbarian countries lose a few..."

The more he said, the more Li Xuan felt it was possible, and a gleam of light involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

On the other side, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were dumbfounded.

How do you say that if you eat a good meal of yak meat, if you talk about messing up Tubo, how many barbarian countries can be wiped out in the end?

It's just that Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others just listened in suspense.

But Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others were thoughtful, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was feasible.

At the same time, he looked at Li Xuan with some horror.

This Highness is inhuman!

Eating a meal of yak meat can lead to a strategy that can destroy the country silently!

However, this strategy is really delicious!

Thinking about it, several people couldn't help eating a few skewers of fragrant meat, and then put a few skewers on the grill.

On the other side, after seeing the eyes of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel strange.

He knows the few ministers under him best!

Unexpectedly, Xuan Ba's idea of ​​eating yaks would actually work!

Immediately, thinking of something, he turned his head again and said to Li Xuan.

"Xuanba, do you think the Turks can attack at this time?"

"Turkey?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, "Your Majesty, do you know that there is enough food and grass? Is there enough armor?"

"Xuanba don't worry, I have already prepared enough military supplies for a hundred thousand troops!"

Li Shimin looked proud.

"So, Your Majesty can send troops as much as he wants!"

Li Xuan said!

"I also think so. Jieli is extravagant and brutal. He punishes Zhongliang, befriends traitors, and provokes Xue Yantuo and other tribes to rebel; he also alienates his tribe and treats foreigners! He makes Tuli, Tuoshe, and Yugushe all offend him. There is no room for it.

Moreover, now that northern Saibei is also suffering from drought, food must be expensive and scarce.In addition, inside the Turks, there are also Han people gathering armed forces. As long as our army goes out of the fortress, those Han people who have taken refuge in the Turks will definitely respond. Xieli Xiaoer has absolutely no power to resist! "

Li Shimin was full of confidence.

"Since Your Majesty has the right time, place and people, you can send troops!" Li Xuan nodded in response.

"Will Xuanba be able to go out at that time?"

Li Shimin carefully glanced at Li Yuan who was concentrating on eating, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I still want to get married!"

Li Xuan was shocked and quickly refused.

In another month, it will be his wedding day.

Furthermore, let him go to the expedition, how is this possible?

On the other side, Li Yuan also raised his head quickly.

Anger flashed in his eyes.

"What are you talking about at the dinner table?"

"Yes, Ayer!"

Li Shimin hastily smiled apologetically.

Li Xuan was a little worried, and said again: "Your Majesty has so many powerful generals, why should I go to the battle! Moreover, many generals must want to capture Jieli himself, and to avenge their shame!"

……

Chapter 302 Fighting without Soldiers!

Li Xuan painstakingly explained that Li Shimin was also surprised.

Originally, they all thought that the steelmaking technique invented by Li Xuan, the four-wheeled carriage that could carry more food, grass and baggage, the concrete cement that could be used to cast troops in frontier fortresses, the unimpeded concrete roads, and the warm and comfortable wool gloves And clothes, and even the painkillers and hemostatic medicine kits you need after the war!

All these war weapons are prepared from all aspects for his own expedition.

Unexpectedly, it is not!

The former overlord is unwilling to lead the army!

Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan seriously for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If Xuanba doesn't have the heart to fight, then let it go!"

With the art of fine steel, Li Shimin has allowed the Shaofu Supervisor and Military Weapons Supervisor to accumulate a rich family fortune in the past half a year.

Unless the individual himself suffers from bad luck, the general will never be in any danger when going out for an expedition.

That's why he thought about letting Li Xuan take charge of the battle!

Unfortunately, Li Xuan didn't think so!

It's not easy for me to be able to live a new life, and my status is so respected, basically the emperor's boss, his second child!

Moreover, he also found a beautiful wife for himself, built a luxurious big courtyard, and had hundreds of servants around him to serve him, unless he got tired of this kind of life.

Otherwise, he would never have led troops to fight.

Although, with the protection of personal guards, coupled with his own strange strength, he is not afraid of anyone at all.

However, there are surprises in everything.

Anyway, in the final analysis, Li Xuan thought that he hadn't enjoyed enough of the current lazy life, and he didn't have any intention of leading troops to fight.

Moreover, this year, he has given Li Shimin, or the generals of the Tang Dynasty, the creation of fine steel and medical kits for fighting. These credits are enough to offset his title of King Jin.

As for leading troops to fight, expanding territory, making contributions, and glorifying his ancestors, he doesn't need to fight with those generals!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!

And if you cut off people from being promoted and getting rich, and worshiping generals and marquises, I'm afraid they will be cursed for generations to come!

He would never do such a disgusting thing!

"Come on, Your Majesty, this big pig leg is already cooked, you can eat it!"

With a chuckle, Li Xuan took down the big hind leg that was first put on the side, and took out two small daggers from the side, put one on the table, held the other in his own hand, and started cutting the flesh.

Although the pieces of meat skewered on the iron skewers are also the kind of big pieces of meat as big as walnuts, each iron skewer is full of skewers, but there is still a gap between eating a big hog leg.

"eat!"

At this, Li Shimin also laughed, took the dagger, and began to eat meat.

No more solicitations!

"Xuanba, I have already built two cities with concrete in Shuofang and other frontier fortresses, which can accommodate tens of thousands of troops! Let that Turkic Jieli boy be in a state of anxiety all day long!"

"As for the drought-stricken states in Guannei, thousands of ditches have been built along the waters of the Yellow River! Even in Hedong, Henan and other places, more than 400 ditches have been built! Those common people, at least With a lot of money, I won’t be too hungry this year!”

While eating, Li Shimin started talking about other things again!

"Your Majesty is wise, hiding wealth among the people is the foundation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and looked up, those farmers and servants who were eating their mouths full of oil.

"The people in the Tang Dynasty are very miserable. They not only have to work hard to cultivate, but also spare time on weekdays to hunt in the mountains, dig wild vegetables, and gather all kinds of edible things, but even so, there are only a small number of them who can eat every day. full."

"Most people often don't have enough to eat, and even encounter natural disasters. If they can't handle it, their families will be ruined, and even the whole family will starve to death!"

"Usually, unless we are plowing and fiddling with the farmland, I should find a way to survive for these farmers. Even if we can't save much money, when natural disasters occur and the fields fail. They will also With all my strength, I can earn food for my mother-in-law and children, and feed the whole family!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but stop.

Looking up, looking at the excited people eating around, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Xuanba's words are very reasonable!"

"It is a great blessing for these households to meet such a proprietor as Your Highness!"

"Having them is also my king's blessing!"

Li Xuan sighed.

Immediately, under the astonished expressions of Li Shimin and others, they picked up a bowl of cold water and drank it.

"Everyone, you must have a good meal today!"
