After listening to what his subordinates said for a long time, Li Xiang finally figured it out. If he didn't launch a strong attack or use a surprise attack, he might not be able to complete this matter.
"I thought it was easy to deal with them, but now it turns out it's really a difficult problem."
After listening to everyone's reports, Li Xiang had to admit that these toasts were difficult, even more difficult than Tubo toasts.
There are no other reasons. Firstly, it is because their terrain is dangerous, and secondly, there are many Han people in the mountains. If they are really forced to kill people, even if Li Xiang takes over the territory of these chieftains, there will be bloodshed at that time.
Chenghe, I don’t know how to describe it in the history books.
Although it is impossible for a war not to kill people, if too many people die, for example, even though Bai Qi fought for unification, he later received mixed reviews.
"Actually, I think the chieftain's territory is not without its weaknesses. Although we haven't trained in the mountains for a long time, our soldiers have also mastered some mountain combat skills. Coupled with our advanced weapons and equipment, if we really attack by force,
, it will definitely be much stronger than the previous Tang army, and our losses will not be that serious."
Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment and finally said this. Under the influence of Li Xiang in recent years, he also valued the lives of soldiers very seriously.
At the beginning, he felt that Li Xiang was making a fuss. There is no war without casualties. If we pursue zero casualties every day, we should simply stop pursuing many strategic goals. Only by staying in the army can we achieve zero casualties.
But later he discovered that it was not the case. If there were a large number of veterans left in each war, even if we fought continuously, the army would be able to survive. These veterans are the greatest wealth in the army.
, no matter what kind of location they change or what kind of enemy they face, these veterans are able to stay calm in the face of danger, which is something that 70% of the army cannot do.
"Go and call Zhang Jiuli. This matter has to be dealt with by this old boy. I will treat him to dinner tonight and ask Mr. Xiao to accompany me."
Li Xiang waved his hand and did not agree to Su Dingfang's proposal. This is the last resort. We have to find other ways now. Maybe we waste more time and maybe spend more money in the process, but none of them are as good as soldiers.
life is more important.
Zhang Jiuli came with a large number of accounts. He found everything Li Xiang asked him to find. At this moment, this guy saw that too many people had died in the city. There was a smell of blood when he walked on the street, so
He always felt that half of his feet had already entered the Palace of Hell.
In his opinion, although he is the highest local official, many people have more backing than him and have deeper connections in Chang'an City, but what is the use of this? In Li Xiang's eyes, no matter what the people in Chang'an City say,
Whatever needs to be killed, you must kill it.
Zhang Jiuli also got the news that the officials of Chang'an City were participating in Li Xiang's memorial. It is said that the memorial was like snowflakes, but what's the use? Do you think there is a decree coming from Chang'an City?
Many people are preparing for a larger-scale memorial, but the attitude of the emperor is there. Only those newcomers in the officialdom feel that more people can threaten the emperor, and more people can make the emperor bow his head.
Zhang Jiuli is no longer a newcomer to the officialdom. Even though he is an official in this inhospitable place, he can see some things in the court very clearly, especially Li Shimin. When two officials are fighting, he is very clear.
One person may favor one person, but if two hundred people fight against one person, even if he favors the other person, he is still the one who favors the person.
What the emperor is most afraid of is forming cliques for personal gain. When an official stirs up a hornet's nest, no matter whether the official is right or wrong, the emperor must first protect this person, and then see how big the entire clique is, and then make a judgment.
What happens next.
There are many reasons why many officials participated in Li Xiang's fight, but one thing Li Shimin can see is that what you people say are empty words, and no plan is beneficial to Sichuan and Shu. Although Li Xiang killed someone, the people's plans
We have come up with a plan that will not require a penny from the court in a few years and will also be able to feed the court back. Do you have the ability to do this?
Otherwise, Li Xiang has figured out Li Shimin's heart. As long as the people can live a good life without spending money, then Li Shimin will definitely be willing to do such a thing. He also wants to leave his name through the ages. What Li Xiang did
Everything about it tickled his heart.
"Greetings to Your Highness, these are all the transaction records in recent years. They are all here. There are also a few teachers outside who are specifically responsible for this matter. I called them all here."
Zhang Jiuli pointed to several people outside and said, these people are also trembling at the moment. Although they are not officials, they all work for officials. I am afraid only these people themselves have benefited from how many benefits they have received over the years.
I know that Li Xiang has no time to cause trouble for them now, but after dealing with the officials, he may not cause trouble for them.
"You should sort out the accounts first, and then go to the west wing for dinner. Someone will hand over these matters to you. Just stay here for now. The court needs you."
When Li Xiang spoke, these people didn't even dare to open their heads. They were all minor officials among the officials, not even the smallest official. They were nothing in the court. Of course, this was just for Li Xiang. If you were facing
For ordinary people, these people are different. They are even more glorious than some officials.
Li Xiang was afraid that these people would abscond in fear of crime, so he would control them first. After all, they would really be needed after a while.
"Thank you, Your Highness Taisun."
Naturally, these people did not dare to refute and followed the guards to the west wing obediently. They would be here for a long time in the future.
"Master Zhang, please come in. I have prepared a banquet today, and we also want to have a few drinks. We haven't had a good drink since we came here. This is the Tang Dynasty Tianjiang brought from Chang'an City. I forgot
, there is no shortage of this in Chengdu, Mr. Zhang must have drank a lot in the past."
When Li Xiang said this, Mr. Zhang felt bad all over. Tang Tianjiang was not cheap. Even in Chang'an City, only a few people could afford it, but in Chengdu City
, Li Xiang has found a lot during the search process, plus the freight from Chang'an to here, one can imagine how luxurious a life these bastards usually live.
