    After seeing the astonishing achievements made in the country, the generals were very excited and energetic. They wanted to immediately discuss the strategy to defeat the big food. After hearing this, they all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.  "Chen Xuanli, please tell me about the Western Regions first." Li Longji said to Chen Xuanli.  It is also necessary to report on the situation in the Western Regions so that the ministers can make a comprehensive and accurate judgment.  "According to the order." Chen Xuanli responded and said: "We have done a lot of things in the Western Regions in the past five years. The main ones are: first, accumulating armaments and food. After several years of hard work, we have accumulated enough food and grass in the Western Regions to be worth millions.  The army lasted two years. ""So many?" There were exclamations, and the officials looked in disbelief.  "Seriously?" Even Wu Zetian looked surprised and disbelieving, her eyes widening.  When the Tang Dynasty stationed troops in the Western Regions, the biggest limitation was the difficulty in raising food and grass.  It is precisely because of this restriction that the Tang Dynasty could only station a small number of troops in the Western Regions.  Even when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the number of Tang troops actually stationed in the Western Regions was only over 20,000, not even 30,000.  This was also an important reason for Gao Xianzhi's defeat in Talos.  ¡°In just a few years, the Western Regions have accumulated enough food and grass for a million-strong army to use for two years. This is amazing.  It can be said that this is a step to the sky.  "This is all your Majesty's wisdom." Chen Xuanli said with admiration on his face: "If the Tang Dynasty had not conquered Tianzhu, there would not be so much grain and grass. Since Tianzhu was governed, Tianzhu's grain and grass have been flowing in an endless stream.  For transportation in the Western Regions, we only need to build granaries. "Li Longji insisted on conquering Tianzhu despite everyone's opinions, which was definitely a clever move.  Conquer Tianzhu.  The biggest advantage is that it can solve the food and grass problem of the troops stationed in the Western Regions.  Now.  The effects are already showing.  "Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers were greatly impressed.  "Sanlang. Conquering Tianzhu is really a stroke of genius!" Wu Zetian was also impressed.  "It was a bit of a fluke. If Tubo had not been destroyed, there would have been no chance." Li Longji smiled and said: "This also shows that God bless China." "God bless China!" The ministers greatly agreed with this statement.  If it weren¡¯t for God¡¯s blessing on China, why would Li Longji be allowed to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?  "The second is that we have collected nearly 300,000 war horses." This point has been mentioned just now, and Chen Xuanli mentioned it in one sentence.  Said: "Third, we support and train the Persian people and create trouble for Yusuf. Today's hometown of Persia is in chaos, and Yusuf is in a state of distress." "Okay! Okay! Okay!" The ministers cheered in unison, greatly approving.  This matter.  Disturbing the homeland of Persia made Yusuf anxious and unable to fight the Tang Dynasty. This was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. Who can not praise it?  "Fourth, we will send troops from time to time to fight against Dashi. This is to train the army." Chen Xuanli continued: "After these five years of training, the armies in the Western Regions are all familiar with Dashi's fighting style."  Let Tang Jun become familiar with the Arab Empire's fighting style.  Very important.  "Fifth, we are intimidating the countries in the Western Regions. They have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. As long as your majesty orders it, we can invade the territory of Dashi." Chen Xuanli said again.  It is very important to overwhelm the countries in the Western Regions and allow the Tang Dynasty to border the Arab Empire.  As soon as the war started, the Tang Dynasty could quickly invade the Arab Empire.  If this is not done in advance, after the war begins, the Tang army will have to go through a lot of tricks to actually fight the Arab Empire.  "Your Majesty, this is the main thing we have done in the past five years." Chen Xuanli finally said.  "Not bad! Not bad!" Wu Zetian looked at Chen Xuanli with a smile and praised: "You have a great talent and can understand the overall situation, which is good. When Saburo bought you with 1,500 kilograms of royal wine, it was worth it!" "Haha!  "Li Longji bought Chen Xuanli with 1,500 kilograms of royal wine. This was a good story, and all the officials laughed in unison.  "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Chen Xuanli has always been grateful for this matter.  "It's all in the past, you don't need to keep it in mind." Li Longji smiled and said: "You have done really well in the past few years. Well, then you can tell me what Datang will do once this battle begins.  Fight? " Chen Xuanli has extraordinary intelligence and military skills, and he is familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions. It is very correct for him to explain it, and the eyes of the officials are all focused on him.  "Your Majesty, I believe that at the beginning of the war, our most important thing is to invade Samarkand." Chen Xuanli raised his thick eyebrows and said: "Samarkand is a fertile land and an important place along the Silk Road. There are many  With a large population and rich products, the earlier we capture it, the less trouble we will have on our logistics. "The troops and horses are not yet moved, but the food and grass go first.  Food and grass, for the warIt is said that it is extremely important and is the lifeblood.  Although the Tang Dynasty had accumulated a large amount of grain and grass in the Western Regions, it was still difficult to transport grain and grass after long distances.  In such a war, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern society, the supply of food and grass is also a big problem.  Therefore, reducing the pressure caused by food and grass has become the top priority.  To resolve this matter, the Tang Dynasty must first capture Samarkand.  Because Samarkand is a fertile place where food and grass can be raised.  How rich is Samarkand?  When Alexander the Great arrived here, he lamented that the prosperity and wealth here far exceeded his imagination.  If Samarkand is obtained, the Tang Dynasty¡¯s grain and grass will no longer need to be transported from the Western Regions, nor from Tianzhu, but will only need to be collected in Samarkand.  "There is another advantage to taking Samarkand, that is, the troops will be at Khorasan." Chen Xuanli continued: "Starting from Samarkand, we can quickly take over the Persian homeland. The Persian homeland is also rich, and the  The people have been waiting for the Tang Dynasty's army to arrive and save them from the fire. They will definitely rise up to welcome us. " At this point, Chen Xuanli's voice was a little high and full of excitement, and he said: "The Ni Nirvana Master can be restored.  Once Persia is restored, the benefits to us will be unimaginable. "Persia will only follow the leadership of the Tang Dynasty." Ni Ni stood up and shouted, his face glowing.  He is the Prince of Persia.  I think about returning to my motherland all the time.  I think about restoring my homeland all the time.  Now, he was about to realize this long-cherished wish, and he was trembling with excitement.  By then, even if you want to get rid of the control of the Tang Dynasty, it will be impossible.  If Persia is restored, it will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. First, the Tang army will no longer have to worry about food and grass, and can completely obtain supplies from its homeland in Persia.  Second, the manpower here can be requisitioned.  The Persian people can be asked to do some auxiliary tasks, which will reduce the burden on the Tang army a lot.  Third, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was greatly enhanced, which could have a very good deterrent effect, frightening all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.  Fourth, a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Arab Empire will make the movement against the Arab Empire intensify.  "Haha." It goes without saying that these four major benefits can be thought of by everyone, and the officials laughed loudly.  "Chen Xuanli, you said it very well." Li Longji changed the topic.  Said: "We can think of this, and Youfusu will also think of it. What do you think Yusuf would do?" "Here, Talos!" Chen Xuanli stood up, walked to the giant military map, and pointed at Talos.  He said: "I think Yusuf wants to block our advance here. He will not fight with us, but will defend the city and use the dangers of Talas to drag us down in Talas and drag us down.  "This is indeed a big problem." Yang Sixu took over and said, "We have hundreds of thousands of troops marching westward with great momentum. If we station our troops under the strong city, there will be nothing to do.  If so, it will have a serious impact on the morale of the army. " Chen Xuanli and Yang Sixu are worthy of being famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and they got all of Yusuf's ideas right.  "You don't have to worry about this." Zhang Shuo took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty has expected this a long time ago. Our trebuchet can throw stones as far as six miles, and it can throw strong fire oil even further, seven miles.  Eight miles, ** is not a problem. As long as we prepare enough fierce fire oil, we can turn Talas into a sea of ??fire. "The trebuchet re-developed in the Tang Dynasty has an amazing range, and it can even shoot stones the size of millstones.  Shoot six miles away.  If you use fierce fire oil, it is normal to go farther.  Think about it, as long as there are enough fire oil and enough trebuchets to attack Talos, Talos will become a sea of ??fire.  "Of course, you can attack with a chariot crossbow first. If the chariot crossbow attack cannot be effective, you can use fierce fire oil to destroy Talos." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said: "I think Yusuf wants to use Talas to stop it.  If we move forward, he will strengthen the city gate, and chariots and crossbows may not be useful." Li Longji was extremely shrewd and guessed Yusuf's idea correctly.  "Haha." The ministers had no objection to Li Longji's judgment.  Because Yusuf is extremely shrewd and proficient in military art, if he doesn't do this, people will not understand him.  "As for Talas, we must be quick and strike at once." Chen Xuanli's eyes flashed as he said, "In this way, Yusuf's overall plan will be disrupted and he will not have time to find another plan. We will  We can take advantage of the situation to invade Samarkand, and then march to the homeland of Persia." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.  "That's right!" All the ministers agreed in unison.  For Leros, the ministers have ears.?, knowing that this is a strong city, easy to defend but difficult to attack.  If Yusuf wanted to use Talas to block the Tang army's advance, he would definitely think that even if the Tang army wanted to capture it, it would take a lot of effort. He would not think about it for a year and a half.  "If the Tang army captured it in one go, they could advance quickly and invade Samarkand, which would completely disrupt Yusuf's deployment and leave Yusuf with no time to react.  In this way, the Tang Dynasty would be "disrupted with speed", and Yusuf would be left with nothing to eat.  This benefit goes without saying, everyone understands it.  Then, with a word from you, a word from me, and everyone coming up with their own plans, a war plan against the Arab Empire was basically completed.  The reason why it is said to be basically is that it is the general situation.  As for the specific use of troops, this needs to be decided on an ad hoc basis.  "You have said so much, but there is one thing you have not said yet. That is, we need a good general who can lead the overall situation, have an overall view, and be able to plan the situation." Wu Zetian finally said.     brush!  The eyes of the ministers all fell on Li Longji.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
