Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1378: Fixed plan, expand the army!
After the early dynasty was over, Baiguan withdrew from the Taiji Hall.
The core officials such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Li Zexuan came to the Ganlu Temple and discussed with Li Er about sending troops to attack Liangshidu.
After all, it involves specific combat deployments. If it is made public directly in the courtroom, what if someone accidentally leaks it out?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Li Erhui will only call his confidantes to participate in such "meetings" involving specific military deployments. This will not only ensure that the plan is not leaked, but also improve the efficiency of the proceedings!
"Since I have determined to attack Liang Shidu, all Aiqing think, how should we fight?"
In the Temple of Ganlu.
Li Er looked at these confidantes in the palace and asked aloud.
When the voice of is over, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, during the Wude period, Master Liang had invaded my Datang many times, and they were all defeated by our army. Many of his subordinates have already returned to my Datang, not to mention that all the 18th Route Anti-Kings back then After being annihilated, now, Liang Shi is all external, unable to join forces with the anti-king, and is weak; internally, Turkic has political problems and it is difficult to get out. Therefore, the old minister thinks that the current Liang Shi is not enough to be afraid, and it is better to send someone to surrender. For him, if he refuses, let us send troops again~!"
Xiao Yu nodded, and echoed: "What Zhao Guogong said is extremely true. Now that Teacher Liang is exhausted, he can't make any waves. If he can win it without a single soldier, it should be the best Not bad!"
Li Er nodded, but did not speak.
Li Ji said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a bit wrong! Just before the court, according to Yonganhou's plan, the best result is to force Master Liang to ask for help from Jie Li Make Jieli break the covenant of the year! If, as Zhao Guogong said, send an envoy to Shuofang to persuade the surrender of Liang Shidu, if the villain really returns, wouldn’t it be too late for Jieli to react?"
Du Ruhui said: "General Li is right, but this is only one of them. The most important thing is that Master Liang is a fierce man. Since the Sui Dynasty, Yu County has divided it up. The small rat steals the dog. The whale swallows the tiger, backed by the East Turks, and has been against my Datang for more than ten years. If he really wants to surrender, he will not wait until now! So sending envoys to persuade him to surrender is a waste of time and tongue!"
Li Er nodded, and suddenly noticed Li Zexuan, who was "counting ants" with his head down. He moved in his heart and asked, "Hou Yongan, this strategy was proposed by you. What do you think about attacking Liang Shidu? ?"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but say something mmp in his heart. The two big guys are arguing so fiercely, why are you calling Xiaoye at this time? What do you ask me to say? If you agree with this party, it is bound to cause the other party to be unhappy!
Tucao is back to Tucao, but now that Li Er called the name, Li Zexuan had no choice but to say seriously:
"His Majesty, the ministers have no high opinion, only humble opinion, in the opinion of the ministers, Zhao Guogong, General Li, Du Xianggong and their opinions do not conflict! We can take the army to persuade the surrender, and send envoys into the city before the army besieged Persuading to surrender, of course, Du Xianggong also said, because of the qualities of the Liangshidu, he will definitely not surrender. When the envoy comes out, the army will directly surround Shuofang and force Liangshi to ask for help. This is called courtesy first and soldiers!"
In this way, neither side is guilty!
Li Zexuan added silently in his heart.
In the court, only the old oil who can't sinner can live longer!
Having been an official for such a long time, Li Zexuan felt that his emotional intelligence seemed to have increased.
"Okay! A good one before the pawn! But according to the old man, this is not as good as killing the heart?"
Grandson Wuji said with a smile.
"Hey! This is good! To treat the old **** of Liang Shidu, you should kill the heart!"
Cheng Yaojin also smiled and agreed.
Li Er nodded, and finally said: "Okay! Just do what Yonganhou said! Ling, Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun led fifty thousand right guards and cooperated with thirty thousand Xiazhou mansion soldiers to jointly attack Liangshidu. Be sure to take down the Shuo Fang! I will send two Taichang Temple officials to march with the army. Before the army sieges the city, let them enter the city and surrender. After they return without success, they will attack again~!"
Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun stepped forward one after another, clasping their fists and saying: "The ministers lead the orders!"
These two men are hunks!
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Chai Shao fought many battles with East Turks, Tuyuhun, etc., and they fought very beautifully. In the first year of Zhenguan, Chai Shao, who has repeatedly made military exploits, has become an official general of Youwei. And this guy also married Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Pingyang, who is also Li Er's brother-in-law!
Now that Old Li has Chai Shao as his general, it is very likely that he wants to give his brother-in-law some more military merits. After all, the battle to eliminate the Liangshi Capital is a war with a relatively small "difficulty coefficient"!
Xue Wanjun is Xue Wanche’s elder brother. The two brothers were very much used by Luo Yi back then, and they gave Dou Jiande a problem. Later, Liu Heikuo shaved his head, but that could only blame Li Shentong for being too incompetent.
When I saw Li Er, I assigned Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were impatient. Old Cheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, the old ministers please fight!"
Yuchi Jingde was unwilling to be left behind, and clasped his fist: "Your Majesty, the old ministers please fight! Last time the old ministers missed the battle of Guancheng, this time the old ministers must not miss it anyway!"
Li Er thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, let Jingde be the general manager of Mieliang, Chai Shao as the general on the left, and Xue Wanjun as the general on the right. Within three days, clean up the good soldiers and horses. , Go to Shuofang!"
Wei Chi Jingde was overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, my lord!"
Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun somehow got an extra boss, but the qualifications of Yuchi Jingde are displayed there. They don’t have much to say, so they can only bow and say: "The minister waits for the order!"
It’s just that, Cheng Yaojin was completely upset. Old Cheng was unwilling to say: "Your Majesty, there are veterans!"
Li Er didn't have a good air: "Master Liang is exhausted, and Jingde, Chai Shao, and Xue Wanjun are enough to kill chickens with a sledgehammer? Is it possible that you still want me to send all the generals of Tang Dynasty? Retire? Next!"
tell the truth, now Li Er really didn’t pay attention to Master Liang. According to his original idea, he only wanted to send two generals, Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun, with Yuchi Jingde behind. It's already the limit. If Cheng Yaojin is added, then Lao Li can only say "You are not worthy" to Master Liang!
Cheng Biaojin was stunned, did not dare to resist, and withdrew his muffled voice.
Li Er continued: "The Ministry of Households quickly mobilized the army's food and grass, and the Ministry of Industry needs to prepare weapons and armor for the army. Xiao Aiqing and Yan Aiqing, you have worked hard in the past two days~!"
Xiao Yu and Yan Lide hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of the ministers~!"
Li Er nodded and said: "In that case, all the Aiqings will go back and prepare immediately~!"
Everyone bowed and said: "The ministers will leave~!"
"Yonganhou, you stay~!"
Lao Li suddenly added that Li Zexuan, who had already stepped out of his feet, had no choice but to withdraw his feet.
"...Yes! Your Majesty~!"
Cheng Biaojin patted Li Zexuan on the shoulder, then cast a sympathetic look, and left in front of Li Zexuan.
"You kid, do you know why I left you alone?"
After all the important officials left, Li Er stood up, walked down to the hall, looked at Li Zexuan and asked with a smile.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty wants to send students with telegraphs, fairy lights, and binoculars to the army like the last time they attacked Guancheng?"
Li Er shook his head, and said, "Of course not! Master Liang is just a grasshopper after autumn. Why do you need to use a magical tool to kill him? Besides, telegraph, fairy lights, telescopes, etc., I don’t want to let them. The Turks knew it so early that it would be nice to give Jieli a surprise when it comes to the decisive battle in the future~!"
Li Zexuan instantly understood that he dare to love Lao Li because he looks down on Liang Shidu, and he wants to give Jie Lizang a killer move!
"The saint left the minister, what is the point?"
Li Zexuan really couldn't guess, so he asked.
Li Er stared into his eyes and said: "I ask you, how much iron can you make in a day in your iron factory? And how much steel can you make in a day in the steel factory~?"
Li Zexuan moved in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My Majesty, Chenna Iron Factory, if it is fully produced, it can make more than two thousand catties of iron a day. As for the steel plant, it can also make two thousand per day. Yu Jin Gang~!"
It is said that his daily output of two thousand catties is not too high, only a few hundred tons a year! You must know that according to the original history, the annual output of steel in the middle of the Tang Dynasty could reach 5,000 tons, and the Song Dynasty was even more ruthless. The annual output of steel could reach more than 70,000 tons, so his annual output of several hundred tons is not high. The main reason is that the scale of iron and steel plants is a bit small!
But then again, he is already the iron and steel plant with the highest output at Datang!
"Two thousand catties per day?"
Li Er's face moved slightly, and he sighed lightly. He said to Li Zexuan: "You must have seen the situation in the court today~ IndoMTL.com~ The war between Datang and Turks is not far away! Judging by the fact that the Turkic people have made judgments, but their strength is still not underestimated! It is said that Jie Li has millions of people who control the strings, and all the people in the Turks are soldiers, and they live in the grasslands all the year round. Most of them are brave and good at fighting!
Therefore, this war with Turks is definitely not easy to fight! As the saying goes, if you want to do good things, you must first sharpen your tools. Before the war, I plan to deploy elite soldiers from the Hundred Cavaliers, expand the Xuanjia Army, and update a batch of armor and equipment for the Xuanjia Army. The steel used in this , How about your workshop? "
Li Zexuan heard this, without any hesitation, he bowed and said: "The minister is incumbent~!"
Seeing that Li Zexuan promised so simply, Li Er was quite surprised, and said: "Heh! Your kid has always been a master who has no advantage to walk, and I haven't promised you any benefits today. Why is your kid like that? I simply agreed?"
Li Zexuan said sternly: "Your Majesty is joking! At present, the enemy of the country, don't say let the minister dedicate some steel, as long as the foreign enemy can be slaughtered, even if the minister dedicate all his net worth, the minister will be willing! , But in front of this kind of big right and wrong, it can still be distinguished~!"
Li Zexuan is not stupid. He knows better than anyone that he can live without worry in Datang until the country is stable.
Li Er's eyes showed appreciation, and he smiled slightly and said: "Okay! Good boy! I did not misunderstand you! The vanadium mine in Shu area, I guess you can mine soon! At that time, I hope you will refine Made a batch of vanadium steel to make armors and swords for the Xuanjia Army! I want the Xuanjia Army, the Great Tang sword, to be sharper and pierce the heart of Jieli~!"
