Although the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand in terms of armament, adequate preparations, national strength, and popular people, it was feasible to defeat Dashi. . . Read the latest and most complete novels. However, if you want to defeat the Great Eclipse, you will inevitably face fierce battles one after another. There are many tough battles to fight, because the Arab Empire is a rare and powerful enemy. In a word, it is not that easy to defeat the Arab Empire. This requires a good general who is good at fighting, has an overall view, and can plan the overall situation. The first thing the ministers thought of was Li Longji. Because Li Longji has never failed since he went to the battlefield until now. And he established a series of brilliant victories. The massacre of millions of Turkic people was achieved because of him. The destruction of Tubo, the pacification of Tianzhu, the conquest of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the intimidation of the Western Regions were all done by his hands. Li Longji showed extraordinary military talents. If he commanded the army, defeating the Dashi would be inevitable. "I want to take charge of Chang'an! Take charge of the country!" Li Longji said slowly. As the emperor, Li Longji can no longer fight as before. He wants to sit in Chang'an and control the country. "Hey." The generals were greatly disappointed and sighed. They followed Li Longji in the war, and they were always unfavorable, and they had absolute confidence in Li Longji. It was a pity for them that Li Longji did not go out to fight. brush! The eyes of the officials fell on Zhang Shuo. Li Longji is the first choice to lead the army on the expedition. If he does not go on the expedition, then Zhang Shuo will become the inevitable choice. If we only talk about military strategy, Chen Xuanli may not be as good as Zhang. However, when it comes to grasping the overall situation, controlling the overall situation. Chen Xuanli is not as good as Zhang Shuo. After all, Zhang Lun is known as ¡°the best in policy theory in the world.¡± This is not covered. This is recognized. His control of the overall situation and his grasp of the overall situation are convincing. It would be very suitable for him to lead the army on an expedition. Then, the eyes of the ministers fell on Chen Xuanli. This was also a candidate, second only to Zhang Shuo. Chen Xuanli is a famous general. He has extremely high military talents, can grasp the overall situation, and can make strategic plans, which are indispensable conditions for a commander-in-chief. However, these are slightly inferior to Zhang Shuo, so they can only be the third choice. "It seems that you already have someone to lead the army." Li Longji said with a smile on his face: "Yao Chong, who do you think is better to lead the army?" "Your Majesty, I think you can do it." Yao Chong Head raised. He puffed up his chest, glanced at Zhang and said. "Ah." The ministers exclaimed. With a look of disbelief on his face, Yao Chong's words were too unexpected. Yao Chong's political talent is very impressive and impressive, but I haven't heard much about him fighting in a war. He had fought wars, but they were small ones, not big ones. Wu Zetian looked at Yao Chong, then looked at Zhang Shuo, and almost laughed out loud. She knew that Yao Chong and Zhang said that these two guys would always fight, and this time would definitely be no exception. "But I have to manage politics and have no time to fight. Let the Minister of War try to do this. If he can't do it, I can give him some advice on the art of war." As Wu Zetian expected, Yao Chong changed the subject and actually recommended it. Zhang said. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t like Zhang Shuo, and his recommendation was a little different. "These two guys don't deal with each other. They obviously want to recommend each other, but they want to disparage each other. Li Longji has seen this a lot and doesn't find it strange at all. "Pfft." The ministers almost laughed out loud. They all know that the generals and generals are not "harmony", and when they saw this today, they just found it funny. "Hmph!" Zhang Shuo snorted and said coldly: "You should worry about your political conduct. If you make a mistake, I will give you some pointers on how to conduct politics." One advantage of generals not being "harmony" is that These two people will try their best to do things perfectly, so that no one can find fault. Otherwise, once the other party catches the flaw, they will be laughed at. For these two guys, this is more powerful than the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji had seen too much and was too lazy to point it out. He said, "Yes. When it comes to commanding the troops to go into battle, Zhang Shuo will take charge. Do you have any objections?" "No." The ministers admired Zhang Shuo's military talent very much. Of course there will be no objections. "Zhang said, are you willing to lead troops into battle?" Li Longji asked loudly. Oops! Zhang said, as if he had a spring on his head, he stood up, held his head high, and said excitedly, "I obey the order." What a beautiful thing it is to defeat Dashi. He actually leads the troops into battle. Even with Zhang Shu's character, he was so excited that his body was trembling. Think about it, Han Wu defeated the Xiongnu, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing died thousands of times?Liu Fang. If he defeated Dashi, he would be on par with famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who were praised by others. Who could not be excited? "Remember, when you get to the Western Regions, you just have to let go and fight." Li Longji's eyes flashed and he said: "You can fight how you think is best. You don't need to repay me, I won't interfere." "Thank you. Your Majesty!" Zhang said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Li Longji, very excited. Li Longji is completely delegating power and allowing Zhang Shuo to perform. This is a great trust. "Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers also praised him with excitement on their faces. This battle will be fought thousands of miles away. If Li Longji intervenes, the military aircraft may be delayed. Li Longji delegated power and let Zhang Shuo make decisions on the fly, which was of great benefit to this battle. Thinking about it, there are many reasons why the Song Dynasty¡¯s martial arts were so miserable. One of the reasons was that the emperor intervened and did not let the frontline generals fight. Often, military aircraft were delayed in order to wait for the emperor's will. The reason for the failure lay with the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor to take responsibility, so the frontline generals took the blame. Over time, who wants to go to war? Li Longji completely let go. This magnanimity and foresight are indeed convincing. "Yeah." Even Wu Zetian was full of praise. "Take my sword." Li Longji said to Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi responded and hurriedly went to get Shang Fang's sword. Li Longji took it in his hand, handed it to Zhang and said, "This is my sword. The first time I went to the battlefield, I took this sword with me. Then, with this sword, I destroyed Tubo, pacified Tianzhu, and conquered Pakistan. and Afghanistan. This is my first war sword. Now, I give it to you." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang said, holding it in his hand. Li Longji¡¯s first battle sword, how important it is, its significance is extraordinary. "You all listen: seeing this sword is like seeing me! If anyone disobeys Zhang Shuo's orders, Zhang Shuo can kill him with this sword! There is no need to retaliate against me!" Li Longji's eyes flashed with murderous intent. With Zhang Shuo¡¯s qualifications and talent, I believe all generals will obey his orders. Be willing to obey. However, we have to be careful, what if someone is unconvinced and does not obey orders? If Zhang Suo is not given full authority and the power of life and death is not given, something will happen. Think about it, the reason why Xue Rengui was defeated in the Battle of Dafeichuan was that Guo Daifeng did not obey orders. If Xue Rengui had had Shang Fang's sword in hand at that time, there would not have been that defeat. "Your Majesty is wise!" Li Longji always anticipates everything. The ministers were greatly convinced and praised him in unison. "Chen Xuanli. You are the deputy general, assisting Zhang. Do you have any questions?" Li Longji looked solemn. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best." Chen Xuanli said hurriedly. "Remember, you have been following me longer than Zhang Shuo. But you can't be arrogant because of this and disobey orders." Li Longji's face became even colder, and he said coldly: "I can allow you to work together but not to conspire. But you can't stand being accomplices and disagreeing with each other. You can argue, you can quarrel, and you may have differences, but you must be of the same mind! "Everyone has their own opinions and opinions. It is impossible to have the same opinions." possible. Disagreement and dissent are inevitable. However, it must be of one mind, and if so, it is acceptable. If you can¡¯t be of the same mind, you will never accept it. Especially when it comes to something as important as defeating Dashi, we cannot tolerate it. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have sworn here, and I will never conspire with someone else! If you violate this oath, you will die among the arrows." Chen Xuanli held his head high and swore loudly. He is a general, and if he has to charge into battle, the oath to die from random arrows is a very heavy oath. "Yes." Li Longji's face softened slightly, and then he shouted to the generals: "You must strictly obey Zhang's orders!" "Follow the order." The generals accepted the order in unison. "This battle requires a lot of food and grass, and it must be raised by someone capable." Li Longji's eyes fell on Wang Maozhong and said: "Wang Maozhong, you will go out with the army to raise food and grass for the army." "I obey the order." Wang Maozhong was excited. Abnormal, loudly received the order. "You have to remember: if a person or a horse starves to death, you are the only one I have to ask!" Li Longji's eyes sparkled. "Your Majesty, please rest assured: if a person or a horse is starved to death, Wang Maozhong should kill himself to apologize." Wang Maozhong held his head high and his chest high. "Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang said thanking Li Longji. Wang Maozhong is a management wizard, especially good at management. Historically, Li Longji assigned him to manage horse breeding. The Tang Dynasty actually had as many as 700,000 horses. In the past few years, he has been working hard for food and grass, raising money from TianzhuA large amount of grain and grass were transported to the Western Regions. Now, the grain and grass stored in the Western Regions are enough to support a million-strong army for two years. How powerful is Wang Maozhong! Li Longji sent Wang Maozhong to take charge of logistics, which was a great thing for Zhang Shuo. With Wang Maozhong here, he can lighten a lot of burdens. "Opening up frontiers and expanding territory is not the end, but just the beginning." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said: "After defeating the enemy, we still have to manage it! Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty become stronger as it fights. Instead of being like the Great Eclipse, Although we have occupied a large area of ??land, we are in a precarious situation and surrounded by enemies." At this point, his voice turned higher and he said, "Therefore, governance is the top priority, which requires a lot of talents that I have reserved over the past five years. One hundred thousand talents.¡± ¡°One hundred thousand?¡± the officials exclaimed. Li Longji is right. Once conquered, it must be governed. Only by governing well can the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger, unlike the Arab Empire, which is like sitting on a powder keg and will be blown to pieces at any time. To achieve this goal, a large number of talents are needed. Li Longji has reserved 100,000 talents, which is really amazing. "This governance needs one person to take the lead." Li Longji's eyes fell on Song Jing and said, "Song Jing will take care of this matter." Song Jing's talents are outstanding and extraordinary. At present, in the country, the eradication of long-standing evils has come to an end. Song Jing can leave, and it is very suitable to send him to manage these conquered places. "Song Jing, remember: when Zhang says to conquer a land, you take over and govern it!" Li Longji said. "I obey the decree." Song Jing proudly accepted the decree.
