Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"Prestige is naturally prestige, but what is the fun of fighting? Afterwards, it may be very powerful, breaking the city and killing the enemy or something, but in fact, in that process, it can be said to be walking on thin ice. After all, one step at a time is wrong. Wrong, no one dares to mess around!"

Li Yuan didn't know if he had reached the age of menopause, but after hearing Zhang Nuo's words, he immediately opened up like a reflex,

"Fuck, who hasn't led the army to fight? It's right to be cautious, but a man has to go to the battlefield and expand the territory. A good man should do things!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan suddenly frowned, and asked seriously,

"Boy Zhang, you've almost finished your military training now. Didn't that businessman from the Western Regions say he would get you a war horse? At that time, the old man will go to your army and become a general incognito. Let's get rid of the Turkic gang first." What if the beasts are exterminated?"

Zhang Nuo looked at Li Yuan dumbfounded. Nima, this old man is a warmonger, why is he so ambitious and wants to fight?

But before he could open his mouth to object, Li Shimin on the side spoke up,

"Brother, tell me, can we give Turkic a guy to be cruel this year? Last year, my brother was humiliated by Turkic, you can't just watch!"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li, Nima, he hadn't come to Datang at that time last year, even if he came, what else could he do, a restaurant owner to interfere in the war between the two countries?

But since Li Shimin asked this question, he had to say what he should say, after all, it was still related to his own mission.

"Old Li, you have to understand that if you're fighting Luo Yi, you don't have to think too much about it. Prepare food and mobilize troops to fight. After all, the impact will not be great!"

"But Turkic is different. It's a war between countries. It's an all-round competition. In the end, it's even a competition of national power. Are you really ready?"

"Or have you already figured out the pros and cons?"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Yuan spoke first.

"Pros and cons? How do you count the pros and cons?"

Li Yuan is a full-fledged warmonger, especially now that the throne is gone, his health is better, and the relationship between father and son is much more harmonious than before. Now he has some ideas. Although he can't be the emperor, he still You can lead troops to fight and open up territories.

As a supreme emperor, a founding emperor, even if he abdicates, he can still conquer the barbarians and expand the territory. How will it be recorded in the history books in the future?It's exciting to think about it, so when it comes to war, he is more nervous than Li Shimin.

Zhang Nuo organized the words in his mind a little, and then said seriously,

"Look, there is a lot of information about the other party. In fact, we all know the strength of the army, the number of cavalry, and the number of horses. After understanding these things, the rest is rigorous calculation work."

"On the one hand, we can calculate how many troops are needed to fight a war of subjugation and extinction. At the same time, how long will it take to mobilize so many troops? How much food and grass will be consumed in total? How many auxiliary troops will be needed to cooperate?"

"Then after deploying so many troops and manpower, how much impact will it have on domestic production? How much will it cause a reduction in food production? Adding in the food and grass needed for the war, how long can we sustain the war?"

"Also, how much benefit can we gain after defeating the Turks? Can these benefits make up for the shortfall of the war?"

"In fact, these things need to be calculated before the war. Only in this way can we not fight unprepared battles. The kind of people who take it for granted that they have money and go to war are what Emperor Sui Yang did. Son!"

Speaking of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, everyone was taken aback. In fact, Lao Li's family was still relatives with Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, not that kind of relationship, but serious relatives.

The Sui Dynasty was originally full of flowers and flourishing, but it went into decline in such a short period of time. A large part of the reason was the impact of the three expeditions to Goryeo.

A war, especially this kind of war of extermination of the country, the manpower and material resources used are simply unimaginable. It hurts every time, let alone three times in a row?

Not only Zhang Nuo understood this kind of thing, but Li Shimin's family of four also understood it very well, especially the two emperors, who knew exactly how much a protracted and large-scale battle would burden the country.

At this time, Li Yuan didn't have the previous jokes anymore. After pondering for a while, he said seriously,

"Boy Zhang, what do you think is the right time for the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to go to war?"

Zhang Nuo thought about the original history carefully, and combined with his own changes to Datang in the future, he said slowly,

"Actually, you can try it this winter. After all, every winter is a life-and-death crisis for those grassland nomads. They are predatory and don't do production. You said that the Turks who just made a fortune in Datang last winter, Do you think this year is another good opportunity?"

When mentioning the Weishui alliance last year, Li Shimin felt his teeth itch, and immediately said,

"Absolutely! Those dog thieves from the Turks are the white-eyed wolves who don't know how to raise them, and so is Gao Li. As long as there is a chance, they will never let go of any chance to bite my Tang!"

Apparently this was talking about Li Shimin's sad incident. Now the veins on his neck are popping out, Zhang Nuo sighed and said,

"Old Li, you'd better not be so excited. This kind of thing is actually very simple. As long as you are sure that the other party intends to offend, then prepare in advance and beat him to death at once!"

"If you have time, you can invite Lao Du and the others to have a good discussion and see if you can arrange it. Don't do everything yourself. If you have that kind of thought, you might as well think about how to develop the national power!"

"To put it bluntly, as long as the national strength reaches a certain level, other people will feel weak when they see the banner of Datang, let alone pounce on it and take a bite!"

Li Shimin was taken aback by Zhang Nuo's words, but he couldn't help thinking of the scene Zhang Nuo mentioned just now. Thinking about it, it's really beautiful, but he doesn't know when it will come true.

Chapter 383 The Mysterious Yard

Li Shimin's visit to Zhang Nuo's house this time is really because he hasn't seen him for a while. He just came here to meet and chat. Of course, eating dinner is also one of the intended goals. With such a skilled cook at the side, it's almost impossible not to eat dinner. I can't help my mouth.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat on the sofa. Li Shimin will leave later, and now he is just killing time, so he said casually,

"Brother, after Chengqian, let's stay with you for a few days every month and learn from you. After all, I'm so busy here that I don't have time to teach him, so I can rest assured that I'm here with you!"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked at Zhang Nuo with bright eyes. He admired this uncle very much. Not only is he talented, but he is also truly invincible in force. May I ask which child is not a swordsman? Dreaming?

If it was just a dream before, after Zhang Nuo appeared, it can be said to have perfectly made up for the heroic dream in his heart!

To put it bluntly, in Li Chengqian's heart, the admiration for Zhang Nuo is sometimes higher than that of his father.

After all, Zhang Nuo is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but the key is his good looks. Even children like to look good!

Lao Li's domineering is domineering, but no matter how you say it, he is almost [-] with a lot of wine and meat. When he was on the battlefield in the early years, it was okay to say. After focusing on political affairs for the past few years, coupled with his age, his stomach suddenly bulged. .

Therefore, when compared with the handsome and suave Zhang Nuo, it is not enough.

Zhang Nuo didn't expect Li Shimin to mention this right now, but he doesn't care, it's a good opportunity to get along well with the heir of the empire, and, under his subtle influence, he is influenced by all kinds of things. Will Li Chengqian, who is "polluted" by the knowledge of later generations, still be a fool in history?
