As long as you think about it and dare to do it, you can achieve your goal.
Totally unreasonable.
Really, as long as you are brave, the Huns will line up to have the Qingming Festival holiday.
What a one-shoe or two-shoe, it seems like he was the one who chopped it off from birth.
Although Li Jing is different from Wang Jian and Han Xin, and is not as unreasonable as Huo Qubing, he dares to say this. As long as the court can meet his conditions, he will win 99% of the time.
The remaining one percent is God's will.
If God doesn't let you win, you'll be really ungrateful.
No matter how many soldiers you have, how vast your generals are, how embarrassed your enemy is, and if they blow strong winds, rain heavily, and throw some meteorites at you, you can't win at all.
However, God's will now lies in Datang.
So this one percent can be ignored.
"Only one hundred thousand?"
Chen Shuda looked surprised.
He originally thought that Li Jing would ask for 200,000 or 300,000 yuan when he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that it would only be 100,000 yuan.
After all, when the Turks went south, they often had 200,000 or 300,000 people. Suddenly, one hundred thousand people came, and they were not evenly matched at all. Not only was he not used to it, but he also felt that there were too few people, and he would not be able to compete with them.
.
Li Jing didn't know what Chen Shuda was thinking. He thought Chen Shuda thought he wanted too much, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Eighty thousand is fine, but you have to give me five thousand fine cavalry!"
Anyway, the infantry are all auxiliary, the archers and crossbowmen are all guarding the basics, and the rangers serve as sentries. There is no difference between 90,000 and 70,000.
As long as all the situation of the Turks is understood clearly, they can just watch the show. I will take five thousand people to go up.
Chen Shuda went from shock to shock. Why are there fewer and fewer? I feel so panicked when you say that.
I originally wanted to agree, but now I don’t dare to.
"It really doesn't work... 70,000 is fine!"
Li Jing saw Chen Shuda staring at him in astonishment without saying a word, so he gritted his teeth and started to lower the price again.
Then he gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind: "One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. As long as you can defeat Jie Li and save those people, I will support you!"
Chen Shuda didn't dare to let Li Jing talk anymore. He was afraid that Li Jing would give him ten thousand yuan.
Then he would really panic.
As for asking Li Jing to defeat Jie Li, he did not say that he asked Li Jing to destroy Jie Li, and he did not have much hope that Li Jing could defeat the Turks in one fell swoop.
After all, no matter how much you say, the Turks were once a powerful overlord. Even if they are now in decline, they still have a lot of meat and are not so easy to bully.
Moreover, the Turkic terrain was flat, vast, and there were many horses. Jieli did not fight with Li Jing, but just kept playing with Li Jing on the grassland. Li Jing also lost his temper for a while.
Therefore, he did not expect Li Jing to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop. He only hoped that Li Jing could save the 300,000 people.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is almost madly short of people. Even though the population has soared to three million households, and many captives have been purchased from the Turks, there is still a shortage of people.
And the gap is very large.
If there is an opportunity to add 300,000 people to the Tang Dynasty in one breath, then you can definitely give it a try.
The reason why he agreed to support Li Jing in conquering the Turks was because he was thinking about the 300,000 people Li Jing mentioned, rather than really wanting to support Li Jing in destroying the Turks.
However, all he can do is support.
He can't make a decision.
Others in the three provinces, and even the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty, could not make it. Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, was just a little short of it. This decision could only be made by Li Yuanji.
The reason why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, is still a little bit behind is because Li Yuan now stands up and plans to launch a war with a scale of 100,000 people. It may not work, because the troops of the Twelve Guards and even the various general administrations in the world may not be able to do so.
Listen to him.
After all, although Li Yuanji did not replace the generals of the Twelve Guards he appointed on a large scale, he did replace all the basic officers in the Twelve Guards with his own people.
The general managers of all the general offices in the world were also appointed by Li Yuanji, and most of them were also Li Yuanji's confidants. The general governors and governors he appointed now only have the nominal power to command the army, but in fact they cannot command a single soldier.
So his words may not be effective, but Li Yuanji's words are definitely effective.
Li Yuanji got an advantage, not only did he not show his true colors, but he acted like a good boy, "I said Chen Aiqing, I asked you to persuade Li Jing, not to encourage Li Jing!"
Chen Shuda also realized that his butt seemed to be sitting a little crooked, but he did not panic at all, but said calmly: "Your Highness, there are still 300,000 people in the Tang Dynasty who are suffering in the Turks, and I cannot turn a blind eye.
If we can save those people, not to mention sending 100,000 troops, even 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 are still worth it!"
Chen Shuda said this with great righteousness and in a very loud tone.
Three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand, and five hundred thousand came out of nowhere, as if they were sending troops for free.
The Tang Dynasty has now mobilized these troops, but the question is whether they can afford them and whether they can supply such a large army to fight outside.
After all, they are all living people, not wooden cows and stray horses created by Zhuge Liang. They need to eat food, consume soldiers and armor, and need to be equipped with cattle, horses, mules and donkeys.
A huge number of people eat horse chews in a day.
The food needs to be at least 10,000 shi, and the fodder needs to be tens of thousands of dans. The larger the number, the slower the marching speed. For a thousand people, it may take half a month to travel from Chang'an to the Turks, and for tens of thousands, it may take two months.
One hundred thousand people will naturally be longer and consume more food.
Although the Tang Dynasty currently has a lot of grain reserves, it cannot afford such a waste.
They were just fighting a half-disabled Turk. Li Jing and Li Shiji were on the move, followed by Xie Shufang, Li Junxian, Hou Junji and others. Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Kan Leng and others were still preparing, not to mention Liu Hongji, Huang Junhan, Qu
These veterans are gearing up to break through.
Why use so many soldiers and horses?
Li Jing said one hundred thousand, then one hundred thousand is enough.
"One hundred thousand people go on an expedition, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of civilians, and tens of thousands of mules and horses. Every day, people eat and chew horses and chew a lot of grain and fodder. How can you bear to do that?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yuanji stared at Chen Shuda with a hint of teasing and asked.
Chen Shuda felt that Li Yuanji had misunderstood him and felt that he was offended. He wanted to say, "Even if I go to beg for food, I will supply the food and grass needed by the army in time." However, when the words came to his lips, he did not dare to say them out.
Neng said depressedly: "It's just the food and grass needed by two to three hundred thousand people, and only one granary in Chang'an is enough.
There is no need to touch the food in Luoyang, Dizhou and Yangzhou."
Li Yuanji said quietly: "Xiao Aiqing and Ren Aiqing probably don't think so, especially Ren Aiqing. He is keeping an eye on these grains very closely now."
Among the three of Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and Ren Gui, the one who is most jealous now is not Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, but Ren Gui.
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda were from wealthy families, and now their horizons are high. They really don't care about food.
Ren Gui also had a high background and a high level of vision, but she became more and more stingy.
If more than 5,000 shi of grain came in or out, he would personally go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and inquire about the reason.
If someone said that he had privately approved more than 5,000 shi of grain for the local government or a certain yamen without even saying hello to him, he could chase them in person and point at their noses to question them.
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda had high prestige and high status among civil servants, but they were just like that among military officials.
Ren Gui is different. He has truly led troops and fought and won battles. He has also participated in many unification wars in the Tang Dynasty. He was selected by the Tang Dynasty, recommended many civil servants and generals, and also trained
There were four famous generals who left their names in history.
Therefore, even literary people dare to scold others, and even martial arts people dare to scold them. There are not many people who dare to provoke others or talk back to them.
After all, the literati family has reached the pinnacle of civil servants. Except for Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, the civil servants in the court are not as good as them. They are qualified to criticize all civil servants.
The Wu family seized the title of Duke by virtue of their military exploits. Their military exploits were no less than those of many military ministers. They were also close associates of those in power and confidants of Prince Yong's palace.
Now the lineage of Prince Yong's Mansion is upright and majestic.
Few of the military officials dared to touch others' brows.
So when people become fierce, few civil and military officials dare to talk back.
The reason why Ren Gui cares so much about food is not that he has any selfish motives or is really stingy, but that he is always thinking about promoting rice.
Although rice has been fully rolled out in Yuezhou and there is output, the output is not enough to support the imperial court's promotion of rice throughout Jiangnan.
Nowadays, the promotion of rice throughout Jiangnan has been put on the agenda because of Pei Ju, Ma Zhou, Wang Gui and others, and a lot of grain needs to be used to subsidize it.
That's why he took the imperial court's existing food so seriously.
The purpose is to use all the grain wisely and use the remaining grain to promote rice.
In his own words, it doesn't matter if you pick it now, whether it's bitter or bitter. As long as you can complete the task of promoting rice in the entire Jiangnan, then the rest of the Tang Dynasty will be sweet, so sweet that you can forget what it is to be hungry.
The taste is so sweet.
Although Li Yuanji wanted to tell him that as food increased rapidly, the population would also increase dramatically, and there would never be enough food.
But seeing that he looked very serious and vowed not to give up until he accomplished this, there was no way he could say these words.
"I'll go talk to Mr. Ren!"
Chen Shuda gritted his teeth and took it on to convince Ren Gui
task.
Li Yuanji didn't stumble and said cheerfully: "Then it's up to you. If you can convince Xiao Aiqing and Ren Aiqing, I will agree to Li Jing's request to send troops."
Chen Shuda nodded and left the Tai Chi Hall resolutely.
After Chen Shuda left, Li Jing stood there to calm down for a while, then said helplessly: "Your Highness, you..."
Is it appropriate for you to act like one person at a time and another at another time, without trying to avoid the person involved?
But before Li Jing could say the next words, Li Yuanji decisively said: "Isn't it all for you? If it weren't for you to lead the army smoothly, would I do this?"
Li Jing was convinced immediately.
makes sense.
However, Li Jing suddenly thought of another question, "Is Mr. Chen unable to convince Mr. Ren?"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Why do you think so?"
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "You are so happy to promise Mr. Chen..."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows.
This has been seen, it seems I can’t keep you by my side in the future.
Emperor... Bah, can you guess the thoughts of those in power?!
