    When Wu Zetian wanted to take over the Tang Dynasty, she had to deal with the Li Tang clan first. She went on a killing spree against the Li Tang clan and killed many of their descendants.  () Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were even more ruthless. They even wanted to kill all the Li Tang clan. Under their management, the Li Tang clan suffered heavy casualties. Today, not many people can survive.  .  The reason why Li Dan and Li Xian survived was not because of anything else, but because they were Wu Zetian's biological sons.  Otherwise, no one can say whether they will survive.  Even so, the two of them have gone through untold hardships, been tortured, and passed death many times.  Li Dan, in particular, was a thorn in the side of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, a thorn in their flesh, and was in danger many times. It can be said that he had a narrow escape from death.  There are many people who want to restore the honorary title of Li Tang clan and give him a grand burial, but they dare not mention it.  Li Dan had a look of surprise on his face, but he opened and closed his mouth and looked at Wu Zetian.  It¡¯s not that he hasn¡¯t thought about this, he really wants to do it, but he doesn¡¯t dare to do it.  Because although Wu Zetian abdicated, Li Dan was still afraid of this mother.     brush!  The eyes of the ministers all fell on Li Xian. Although there was no lack of appreciation, they were more worried.  Although there were so many deaths in the Li Tang clan, they were all caused by Wu Zetian. To restore their honorary titles and give them generous burials is to be against Wu Zetian.  Sure enough, Wu Zetian stared at Li Xian with bright eyes, looking rather unkind.  Li Xian shrank his neck and did not dare to express his anger.  Like Li Xian, he was still afraid of Wu Zetian as his mother.  When he saw Wu Zetian, he became angry.  He cannot help but be afraid.  "Seventh Uncle. What you said is a big deal. We have to do it." Li Longji spoke at the right time and said: "When I restore Li Tang, I naturally want to restore the honorary titles to those clan members who died unjustly and give them a generous burial.  "Actually, these descendants of the Li Tang Dynasty clan have little to do with Li Longji, because he is a modern person.  However, it is politically necessary to do this so that Li Longji can better unite people's hearts.  ?Just think about it.  Li Longji restored the Li Tang Dynasty, but he did not even dare to restore the honorary titles of the murdered members of the Li Tang clan. This is unreasonable.  "You" Wu Zetian stared at Li Longji, shook his head, sighed silently, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.  The anxious hearts of the ministers were finally relieved.  Immediately afterwards, the ministers wanted to laugh again.  Li Longji was able to dethrone Wu Zetian from the throne. How much did Wu Zetian¡¯s mere dissatisfaction count?  If Li Longji was worried about Wu Zetian's dissatisfaction, could he still kill Wu and Princess Taiping?  Can Wu Zetian be dethroned from the throne?  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xian and Li Dan were overjoyed.  About this matter.  The two brothers have wanted to do it for a long time, but they just didn't dare to do it.  now.  When Li Longji finished it, they were naturally filled with joy.  You must know that some of the murdered children of the Li Tang clan were their brothers and sons of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, and were very close to them.  Next, we discussed national policies for a while.  "In terms of internal affairs, we have almost finished the discussion. The remaining issues will be left to the court meeting and discussed with the ministers." Li Longji was very satisfied with the internal affairs. He changed the subject and said: "Let's discuss how to destroy the internal affairs.  "Dashi." "Destroy Dashi?" The officials were refreshed.  ??Especially Master Ni Nirvana, he is even more energetic.  He, the prince of a subjugated country, thought about returning to his homeland all the time. Now he finally got it. He was looking forward to the Tang Dynasty taking action against the Arab Empire. He could not help but be excited about the prospect of his return.  Wu Zetian¡¯s eyes sparkled and she was refreshed.  How exciting it was to destroy the Arab Empire. Even if Wu Zetian was mentally exhausted, she was still excited.  "Zhang said, tell them carefully about our battle with Dashi." Li Longji said to Zhang.  Zhang said that he commanded that battle, which was very good for him.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]  "That battle was like this" Zhang Shuo pondered for a moment and began to explain the process.  He has clear thinking and quick thinking, and his explanations are very clear and analytical.  "Although I have heard you talk about this battle, hearing it now is still exciting." Wu Zetian was quite emotional.  "Yes." All the ministers nodded in agreement.  "Although we won the battle against Dashi, it was extremely difficult." Li Longji's eyes flashed and he said: "Because Dashi is the powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty! You can tell us freely how to destroy Dashi." "Your Majesty, I am here to serve you.  In my opinion, this military strategy should be laid out by someone who thinks he has extraordinary strategies  Yao Chong suggested, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Shuo. His meaning was obvious. Zhang Shuo was known as the best in policy theory in the world. He had far-reaching vision and extraordinary intelligence. He even followed Li Longji in his three-year campaign and conquered the Arab Empire.  He had a deeper understanding than others, so it was best to let Zhang Shuo plan the military strategy. However, he said he couldn't deal with it, and said with some disdain: "Humph!  Zhang Shuo snorted disdainfully and said, "Just say it."  Don¡¯t think that I can tell you whether your ten things are better or worse.  I will let you have a good experience, which can be called real military strategy.  " "Don't talk big words and let your tongue slip. In the end, you want me to teach you the art of war.  "Yao Chong responded with a sneer. There is no grudge between these two people, but they are in conflict. Ever since they first met, they have disliked each other and started to fight each other whenever they had the chance. "Hmph!  "Li Longji snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "This is a discussion, not for your pity.  If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be punished by law.  "The two of them shivered, their necks shrank, and they didn't dare to fight anymore. "Zhang said, you go ahead.  "Li Longji said to Zhang. "I obey the order.  Zhang Shuo said hurriedly: "Dashi has a vast territory, a large population, and abundant products. It is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty."  Their army dared to fight, fight and die, and was brave and fearless. They were the powerful enemies of the Tang Dynasty!  Never take it lightly.  " Everyone nodded heavily and greatly agreed with this. Although they only fought one battle with the Arab Empire, they also saw that the Arab Empire was very good. If you underestimate the Arab Empire, you will be ruining yourself. "The Tang Dynasty wants to destroy the Arab Empire.  To provide food, the whole country must devote its efforts.  Only then can we do it.  "Zhang Shuo continued: "Datang has a lot of preparations to do.  The main ones are: First, we need to conduct large-scale military training.  In my estimation.  If Datang wanted to destroy Dashi, it would need at least 300,000 troops, preferably 500,000 or even more.  ¡± The Arab Empire had a vast territory, a large population, rich products, and strong economic strength. In addition, its army dared to fight, fight, and die, and was brave and fearless. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy such an opponent, it needed a large army. Its number,  It will not be less than 300,000. It is best to have more than 500,000 to have a better chance of winning. The largest army in the Tang Dynasty was only 540,000.  There are not so many. Just to station in the territory of thousands of miles requires 200,000 troops. This is the minimum number. To set aside enough mobile troops, more troops are needed to fight the Arab Empire. More than 500,000 troops are needed.  The Tang Dynasty had a huge shortage of troops, so training was the top priority.  I thought that we should replace it with sudden troops.  "Zhang said the proposal. "If you want to conduct large-scale military training, you must have enough soldiers. If you don't even have soldiers, there is no need to talk about military training. And the government soldiers have long been unable to meet the needs. When fighting the Turks, Wu Zetian couldn't even bring out 400,000 troops.  This shows how corrupt Fu Bing is. Therefore, it became inevitable to replace Fu Bing with Su Bing. Although Chen Xuanli was the first to discover that Fu Bing was corrupt, he did not find a way to replace Su Bing.  What Zhang said has been implemented, but the implementation is limited. Now, if we want to fight the Arab Empire, we must fully implement the sudden military system. "I agree.  "Di Renjie and the others expressed their deep agreement. Even Yao Chong, who had said no to Zhang, nodded in approval. "The second thing is to remake the ordnance.  "Zhang Shuo continued: "Dashi's trebuchet has a longer range than our crossbows. If used well, it can completely suppress our crossbow array, and then we will be in big trouble.  Therefore, it is inevitable to remake the ordnance and invest in a large number of trebuchets with a longer range, which can be used to suppress the food.  " In the battle with Gu Taibai, the Tang army fully realized the terror of the Arab Empire's trebuchets. The reason why Gu Taibai lost so quickly was because he was not familiar with the Tang army's fighting style and failed to protect the trebuchet. Otherwise, the Tang army would have paid a lot of effort.  A small price to pay. ¡°Not only do you have to invest in a lot of trebuchets, but you also have to work hard on the armor.  Zhang said and added: "Dashi's armor is far inferior to ours. This is our biggest advantage."  However, after this battle, I believe Yusuf will find a way to make up for it.  If we can't maintain this advantage in armor, we'll be in big trouble.  " Armor is the greatest advantage of the Tang Army, because the Tang Dynasty's steel output is many times that of the Arab Empire. The Tang Dynasty can equip the Tang Army with a large number of armors with amazing defensive capabilities. However, the Arab Empire cannot reach the level of the Tang Dynasty due to its limited steel output.  However, with Yusuf's shrewdness, he will not find ways to make up for this shortcoming. Therefore, if the Tang Dynasty wants to maintain this advantage, it needs to invest in something new.In order to obtain weapons, we need to study new tactics and tactics and conduct training for food.  "Zhang said that he proposed a third strategy. "The emergence of new weapons requires new tactics and methods to adapt to them. This is obvious. Having good weapons alone does not necessarily lead to victory, because this also requires new tactics.  Tactics. Bifa said that the Iran-Iraq war was known as the "Exhibition Hall of Modern Weapons". All the advanced weapons from around the world were displayed, but the fight was a mess. Why did this happen because they couldn't use it well?  ! The reason why it is not used well is that there are no advanced tactics and tactics, and using them to train the army is the most important thing. Only in this way can the Tang army gain strength.  Only when they are strong enough can they defeat the Arab Empire. Of course, training can be carried out specifically for the Arab Empire¡¯s troops. ¡°The fourth thing is that the military system and rewards and punishments should be reformulated.  Zhang said with a raised brow and a somewhat high-pitched tone, he said: "The battle against Dashi is a battle thousands of miles away. It will be very hard."  The minister believes that the lack of huge profits is not enough to tempt people to go, and the court should allow those who go to get huge profits.  " Zhang said that he has a unique vision and is very pragmatic, and his words hit the point.
