Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Xuanling, do you have any suggestions?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the Turks' march south to Shuozhou at this time is extremely stressful for the Tang Dynasty. After all, the imperial court has just completed its transition. In particular, various places need to adjust and rearrange, so I think that temporarily
It is not appropriate to start a large-scale war with the Turks. At the moment, we still need to stabilize the Turks first and focus on internal stability."
Du Ruhui said: "But if we let it go, the people in the border counties will be in great trouble. We can't just withdraw all the people in the border counties, regardless of their life or death."
Du Ruhui was worried about the people in the border counties.
He didn't want to give up on these people.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, what Du Ruhui said has a certain truth, and everyone knows it. However, one should also understand that the Tang Dynasty was just established and could not withstand the torment. Today's Tang Dynasty needs stability and time.
develop."
"There are actually many factions in the Turkic territory."
"As long as there is enough time, we can provoke internal fighting among the Turks and cause internal strife within the Turks."
"The Turks will be defeated by then."
Fang Xuanling said: "This is my plan. We will first stabilize the Turks, and then use the conflicts within the Turks to continue to divide and disintegrate, and finally reach the point of weakening the Turks. And after a year or two, the internal situation in Datang
The problem has also been solved. When the time comes, it will be easy to send troops to wipe out the Turks."
As soon as this was said, many people echoed it.
Everyone agreed with Fang Xuanling's words.
After all, today's Tang Dynasty cannot withstand the hardships, especially because there are still many people in the local area who are unwilling to obey Li Shimin's orders. These aspects also require Li Shimin to gradually change and digest.
Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with the delaying strategy. Today's Tang Dynasty needs a big victory. During the Weishui Alliance last year, although the situation was stabilized, many people have been criticizing it. If your Majesty can
Defeating the Turks will completely lay the foundation for us in the country, and there will be no more turmoil."
People in the military mainly supported Du Ruhui.
Because the generals in the army are warlike.
This is because generals in the army have to prove themselves on the battlefield.
Therefore, in this hall, two factions suddenly formed, and the two sides argued over whether to send troops or not.
This is the public saying that the public is right and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is right.
Each of them makes sense.
After Li Shimin heard this, he also frowned.
As the emperor, he is the one who ultimately makes the decision, so no matter what disputes there are between the two plans, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each, they must be decided in the end.
Li Shimin was in a dilemma, because the decision between sending troops and not sending troops was like the palm of the hand and the back of the hand. The palm and the back of the hand were both made of flesh, so it was difficult to decide.
Li Shimin's eyes turned and fell on Wang Can.
Wang Can has never expressed his stance.
Li Shimin said: "Wang Can, what do you think?"
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple. When the Turks come, they will naturally fight back. They will fight as many as they come. In a word, if you don't accept it, just do it."
Li Shimin's cheeks twitched and sighed: "Wang Can, if this matter is really that simple, it would be easy to handle. But mobilizing a large army to fight, especially a war with the Turks, must be a protracted matter. At that time, there will definitely be casualties.
Countless, and it will also cause a huge burden on the court."
Wang Can said: "In my opinion, this matter is not difficult and will not cause any burden. As long as there are eight thousand elites, we can defeat the Turks in this battle."
"What?"
At this moment, Fang Xuanling exclaimed.
He stood up in one step, walked up to Wang Can, and said: "Master Wang, you have made pumpkins and sweet potatoes, and you have done great service to the court. But these eight thousand soldiers are going to destroy the nearly 100,000 Turkic cavalry who went south to Shuozhou.
I'm afraid it won't be easy! Countless Turks have gathered at the border now, and these people are here to plunder."
Wang Can said: "I said I can, and I can do it naturally."
Fang Xuanling asked: "How to do it?"
After a pause, Fang Xuanling continued: "Even if the prince comes up with a strange plan, the Turks are not easy to deal with!"
After all, Fang Xuanling is a wise man.
He has his own judgment.
Wang Can said: "If you use ordinary methods, you will naturally not be able to achieve your goal. With less than 10,000 people, it is even more difficult to destroy nearly 100,000 Turkic soldiers, and they are all cavalry."
Fang Xuanling said: "So, Mr. Wang, are you planning to use unconventional means?"
"yes!"
Wang Can nodded and answered.
Fang Xuanling said: "What extraordinary means?"
At this time, the eyes of the civil and military officers and big shots in the court all fell on Wang Can. There was no doubt in their eyes, because these people all knew the news about Wang Can and knew that Wang Can
The means are astonishing.
It's not surprising that something strange happened to Wang Can. You see, Yuan Tiangang stays in Wang Can's house all day long. It can be seen that Wang Can has something magical about him.
Li Shimin also said: "Wang Can, what methods do you have?"
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, talking about my method is like a fantasy, and even you won't understand it, so the simplest way is to see it and believe it. Next, go outside the city and choose a location to conduct the experiment.
."
Everyone was confused after hearing these words.
Don't know how to operate it.
I don’t know what Wang Can is going to do.
After hearing this, Li Shimin also felt weird, but for Li Shimin, he was willing to believe Wang Can, so he said: "Okay, just do as Wang Can does. We go out from Beicheng. Outside Beicheng, there is an area.
A dedicated school ground for garrisoning can be used for experiments."
Immediately, Li Shimin led everyone outside.
Wang Can and Li Shimin were together, and Wang Can was very grateful for Li Shimin's trust. Because of Li Shimin's trust, things went so smoothly.
Not that many people would doubt it.
The group of people arrived outside Beicheng and came to the military camp and school grounds.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Can and said: "Wang Can, you choose the location and arrange everything. Whatever arrangements you want in the army, just give the order and everyone will obey your arrangements."
After Wang Can nodded, he walked around the military school grounds and chose a location on the edge of the school grounds. Although the edge of the school grounds was flat, there was a hillside about two miles away.
This hillside has lush vegetation.
Although it is not steep, it can be seen.
After Wang Can stopped here, he looked at Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other civil servants and generals, and asked everyone to keep a little distance, but Wang Can's mind sank into the system of the heavens.
In this system, the mall not only has food crops, but also weapons.
Wang Can chose a 60mm caliber mortar. This is an artillery piece that is easy to carry and powerful enough. On the battlefield, such a mortar can play a big role.
The mortars in this system require 50,000 universal points per gun, but will be equipped with thirty rounds of shells.
Although the 50,000 universal point is a bit expensive, it is a good deal.
Wang Can now has enough time, so he can gather the universal points. Especially in today's situation, there are countless people together. When the mortar is activated, Wang Can can expect that his universal points will increase again.
It's bound to be a bumper harvest.
Wang Can directly spent the universal points to exchange, and immediately a 60mm caliber mortar appeared out of thin air, then stood on the ground, with thirty more shells neatly packed in boxes and placed aside.
When the mortar appeared out of thin air, Li Shimin and the others were extremely curious.
What kind of weapon is this?
Everyone was very curious.
Wang Can waved, and Li Shimin came over again with everyone.
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Wang Can, how is this weapon used and what is its purpose?"
The rest of the people also looked at Wang Can.
Everyone has a thirst for knowledge in their eyes, wanting to know what kind of use this iron frame on the ground can be used for.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "This weapon is called a mortar, and it is very powerful. And this weapon is the key to defeating the Turks. I won't say more nonsense. In short, give it a try first, and you will know
It worked."
He said no more.
He directly set up the mortar, adjusted the position of the mortar, and aimed at the mountain forest about two miles away. Immediately, Wang Can opened the box containing the elixir, took out a shell, and entered directly.
A cannonball.
After doing all this, Wang Can walked aside directly and covered his ears with his hands.
Li Shimin saw this and followed suit. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also followed suit, covering their ears and staring at the mortar.
However, some other civil servants and some generals did not take it seriously and continued to watch the mortars.
"boom!!!"
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard.
When the loud noise sounded, Wang Can, Li Shimin and others covered their ears, but it had no effect, but the other generals were all frightened and looked at the mortar in shock.
The next moment, smoke was seen, and the shells were already flying out of the barrel, quickly rising into the air, drawing a parabola in the air, and quickly heading towards the forest two miles away.
In a moment, the shell hit the ground and exploded in the forest two miles away.
"boom!!!"
Another violent explosion sounded.
After the explosion, the sound waves came out, and more fires rose up. Huge smoke and dust were visible in the distance. Smoke and sound waves could be seen from such a long distance, and many trees and burning soil could even be seen.
Flying.
"hiss!!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Completely frightened.
This so-called mortar was too powerful, especially from a distance of two or three miles. It was hit easily and caused such great damage.
This is amazing.
Li Shimin was shocked at first, then recovered and said: "Wang Can, your weapon is indeed powerful. However, you must have enough weapons to reverse the situation. How much can you provide?"
