"My opinion is very simple. Our Great Tang is not afraid of small-scale wars, so we can fight them. But large-scale conflicts should not be fought for the time being, because we can't hold on!”
No one was there. It would take time for the troops to arrive, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be disloyalty. This was what Li Shiming was most worried about. Once these disloyal soldiers entered Chang 'an, Chang' an, which had been controlled with great difficulty, would be in chaos again. Some of Li Jiancheng's men might have disloyalty again.
More importantly, Li Yuan was still alive!
The one they were afraid of was Li Yuan!
That was why Li Shiming did not dare to let these troops enter Chang 'an!
To put it bluntly, he was afraid that his father would contact the army and kill him. Li Yuan was very unstable now. After all, Li Shiming had killed his brothers, which was a huge blow to Li Yuan!
Therefore, to prevent Li Yuan from reviving, Li Shimin was not willing to have any unstable factors. Among the 12 armies in Guanzhong, there were several unstable factors!
"Thus, we will fight a small war to tell the Turks that we are not afraid of war. At the same time, we will have the twelve royal armies march out with great momentum, but at a slow pace!”
"Then, give some money to the Turks and have them retreat. I hope they can buy some time to recover!”
The Great Tang had to slow down!
Years of war had already left the Great Tang covered in wounds!
He needed time to rest!
"But to make the Turks retreat, just how many things will we have to take out?”
Some people felt their hearts ache, and they had to feel their hearts ache. The population of the Great Tang continued to decrease, which meant that taxes were also decreasing. Fortunately, the aristocratic families had to pay taxes now. If all the fields were under the aristocratic families 'names and there was no need to pay taxes, the country's taxes would plummet!
"So, I gave you salt!"
Li Yi laughed!
"Salt?"
Zhangsun Wuji stood up and looked at Li Yi in shock. He seemed to have thought of something!
"Yes, if we don't fight wars, we have to fight small wars. First of all, people die in wars. From the end of the Sui Dynasty until now, how many people are left in Guanzhong? "If we continue fighting, it'll be heartbreaking to lose another few thousand households. In my opinion, we can use a small war to scare the Turks, then use money to coax them away. Then, we'll play dirty!”
When Li Yi said that he was playing dirty, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji. This guy who was regarded as the " number one dirty person in history " was like a fish in water when he played dirty tricks!
"Oh?"
Everyone turned to look at Li Yi. To be honest, the people of the Great Tang still preferred the 'you stab me, I'll stab you' style of fighting. Don't think that the Turks were very valiant. In fact, the people of Guanzhong were even more valiant. It was just that the constant wars and the lack of a series of conditions made it difficult for the people of Guanzhong to be valiant.
If the people of Guanzhong were given horses and rations, you would discover that these people were even more Turkic than the Turks!
"What do you mean by fairy child?"
" Don't call me fairy child. My name is Li Yi. I didn't take my name…"
"That's not right. From the looks of it, Xian…Yi's age has already been crowned.”
" I've been following my master since I was young. In the Upper Realm, culture is open, and it's not necessary to have a surname. In the Immortal Realm, my master has long forgotten his age. I've been following my master since I was three years old, but he didn't even remember to crown me…"
Men were crowned at the age of 20. After that, they would become adults and would be given a beautiful " character ". However, they would usually have a character since they were young. It was only when they reached adulthood that people would really call them that.
To the ancients, calling out the name was actually more intimate!
"Alright, let's not bother about my name for now. Let's talk about my opinion first. If possible, the Turks will not let go of this opportunity to take down the Great Tang. Thus, we must give them a state of 'defending the country to the death' and let them know that if they really fight, they won't be able to gain an advantage!”
"Then, the wronged Sage will go and ask for peace. Although he says that he wants to empty the treasury, in reality, we can use a very small price to exchange for this peace. Thus, my plan is very simple. We will use salt to exchange for the withdrawal of the Turks!”
"No!"
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to object. The group of generals also shook their heads."With salt, the Turks will have strength. If they come to plunder next year, do you know how many innocent people will die to the Turks 'weapons? Do you know that with salt, the strength of the Turks will increase by at least thirty percent?”
Li Yi shook his head.”
"Don't take the Turks for fools. They'll definitely notice if there's poison!”
"But what if it's a chronic poison?"
Li Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, he looked at everyone and said,""The Upper Realm isn't peaceful everywhere, so there are all kinds of schemes and plots. Although I'm from the Upper Realm, I'm a member of the Han family, just like everyone else. Whether the Turks live or die has nothing to do with me. If there's divine retribution, my master will block it for me, so I don't need to be afraid!”
"The Turks won't leave without giving us some money. I can use the method I gave you to make a batch of exquisite snow salt!”
"Then, we'll add a slow-acting poison. Even if the Turks want us to test it, it doesn't matter. As long as we don't use it for a long period of time, it doesn't matter!”
"And since the Turks have salt, they will naturally retreat. Afterwards, we will use all sorts of excuses and even trade with the Turks to continuously send poisonous salt to them. For example, we can exchange salt for horses, cattle, sheep, or even wool.”
Li Yi's words made everyone's hair stand on end. They looked at Li Yi in horror. This was a vicious plan to end their descendants!
"This…is against the heavens!"
"I came down from the sky, so what harmony? Remember this, the heavens don't care about outsiders!”
Li Shi Min's eyes widened, because this sentence was in line with his interests. Since the heavens didn't care about the outsiders, he could use any kind of scheme.
The Han people had always followed Confucianism, causing them to be very cautious in foreign wars. Sometimes, even if they won a battle, they would not gain any benefits. However, Li Yi's words directly stood from the perspective of an " immortal " and determined the nature of foreign wars.
In a war against the outside world, only Li Yi did not care about the laws of nature!
