The atmosphere in the royal study was a little heavy. No one spoke to break the silence.
Li Chengdao swept his gaze across everyone's faces before withdrawing his gaze and speaking in a deep voice.
"Today, I have summoned you all here to discuss the Eastern Expedition.
"This eastern expedition stretches across ten thousand li, including Persia, Arabia, India, and Tubo. A fierce battle is inevitable.
Therefore, regarding the Eastern Expedition, you can speak freely. You must quickly decide on a strategy and plan.”
Today, Li Chengdao had gathered all the top civil and military officials to come up with a plan to attack the countries along the way.
Due to the lack of national strength and food,
If they wanted to go east, they had to implement the strategy of nurturing war with war. Only then could they continue.
It was easy to say that they could fight and nurture wars, but in reality, they had to conquer one country after another!
As soon as Li Chengdao finished speaking, the royal study immediately became noisy.
The voices of the generals instantly drowned out the others, and there was a clamor for battle.
"Silence!"
The veins on Li Chengdao's forehead bulged as he heard this. He could not help but shout, and his expression became a little stern.
"The Eastern Expedition is not a child's play. Let's not talk about India and Tubo for now.
The Persia Empire is the first obstacle to our Great Gan's Eastern Expedition. Tell me how to take down Persia!”
Although they had to brainstorm, these generals were too noisy.
Therefore, Li Chengdao decided to lower his standards. Let's not talk about the countries behind us first. Let's deal with the enemies in front of us first.
After glaring at the noisy generals, Li Chengdao looked at Wang Gui and said,"Teacher, please tell us first."
Wang Gui was his chief aide and had always been his advisor.
Now that they were discussing the strategy, they would definitely have to ask him first.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Gui did not decline. He walked up to the sandbox and said,"Regarding the grand strategy of the Eastern Expedition, we've already talked about it before.
They would fight to support their battles, plundering resources along the way. However, the most important thing was that they could not delay. They had to finish off the enemy as quickly as possible and carry out a lightning attack.”
However, as soon as Wang Gui finished speaking, Xue Wanche continued,""Lord Wang, we know what you're saying.
However, in the past few months, Persia has been paying close attention to the movements of our Great Qian Empire's army. They have also deployed a large number of soldiers at the border and built fortifications, fully preparing for war.
Under such circumstances, it was not realistic to engage in a blitzkrieg battle. The battle could not be resolved within a month after the battle began.”
Xue Wanche's analysis was more thorough and realistic.
The Persian Empire was not a weak country.
Their Heavy Infantry was very strong, and was not inferior to the Heavy Armored Army of Great Qian Empire.
In a head-on battle, even if they were no match, they would not be defeated in a short period of time.
As long as they maintained their undefeated state for a period of time, India and Arabia would not stand idly by.
After all, no one would be happy to see the Great Qian Dynasty destroy another country and break the balance.
If he offended three countries, even Li Chengdao would feel immense pressure.
The main reason was that the country did not allow him to do so.
"How can it be so troublesome? In my opinion, if we just send 500,000 troops to press down on the border and push them all the way, who can stop them?”
Feng Li curled his lips and said disdainfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately refuted,"Nonsense, what a boorish man!
Even if they could quickly end the battle by attacking directly, their side would suffer heavy casualties. How would they face the enemies behind them? If our Great Qian Empire consumes too much energy, wouldn't we be making it for others?”
Wei Zheng's words rendered Feng Li speechless. He could only shut his mouth gloomily.
However, no one offered any more suggestions.
If they couldn't attack forcefully or fight head-on, how could they fight?
"Ahem, actually, I have a plan to destroy Persia.”
At this moment, there was a sudden cough. Everyone looked over and realized that it was Xue Rengui.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xue Rengui tried his best to appear calm.
However, the smugness in his eyes could not be concealed. He had an expression that said,"I know, ask me quickly."
However, what greeted him was a big ear.
Li Ji slapped him on the head and said,""If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you continue to act like this, you'll go back and clean the toilet for three days!”
"Marshal, I was wrong. I'll tell you!”
Once Li Ji made his move, Xue Rengui no longer dared to put on airs. Pointing to one of the spots in the sand table, he hurriedly said,"
"The method to break through Persia is very simple.”
"I think you're really itching for a beating!"
Li Ji took a look and his face darkened. He went up and grabbed Xue Rengui to beat him up.
The reason why he was so angry was because Xue Rengui was referring to the Caucasus Mountains!
The Caucasus Mountain Range was an insurmountable natural moat that separated the territories of the Great Qian Empire and the Persian Empire.
This was a natural barrier. It was simply a fool's dream to cross the Caucasus Mountains!
The others also felt that Xue Rengui deserved a beating.
Isn't this asking for a beating?
"Maogong, listen to what he has to say.”
Li Chengdao couldn't stand it anymore and spoke, stopping Li Ji who was beating Xue Rengui.
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Li Ji finally stopped, but he still glared fiercely at Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui covered his swollen face and said aggrievedly,"I'm not lying. The Caucasus Mountains can really be crossed.”
"You motherf * cker!"
Li Ji thought that he was not convinced by the beating, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go for the second round.
Li Chengdao stretched out his hand to stop him. He frowned and asked Xue Rengui,""The Caucasus Mountain Range is extremely high and the climate is harsh. How do we cross it?”
Xue Rengui moved a little further away from Li Ji and then said,""Your Majesty, do you still remember the special forces you asked me to form?”
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows.
"I've gathered quite a few people, and one of them knows a small path that can pass through the Caucasus Mountains.
I have already sent someone to verify it. I wanted to report it to Your Majesty after getting the results."
Xue Rengui stuttered, looking at Li Ji from time to time, afraid of being beaten up again.
After he finished speaking, the royal study fell silent.
Li Ji rubbed his hands, his expression somewhat awkward.
He seems to have dialed the wrong number
