In the face of internal and external troubles, every minister in the hall seemed to hang a golden boulder on his head, which was particularly depressed.
Everyone frowned and mused.
Just then, Su dingfang walked slowly out of the crowd, bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, I don''t know what to say."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone''s eyes looked at it together.
Considering his physical condition, the king of Tang did not dispatch the veteran who suddenly fell ill during the last expedition against Turks.
At this time, Su dingfang, who was slightly haggard, stood in the hall waiting for the reply of the king of Tang.
The king of Tang, sitting on the Dragon chair, stared at Su dingfang, raised his hand slightly and said.
"Speak."
Su dingfang looked around at the crowd and said slowly.
"The current situation is actually the same as that of the last time when we recruited Turkic soldiers. We might as well follow the example of the last time and send cavalry to fight."
The ministers above the hall looked at Su dingfang, listened to his proposal and fell into meditation again.
In the previous war, the number of soldiers under Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian Prefecture, was indeed less than 30000 Turkic soldiers, and he was also at a disadvantage. But in the end, the Turkic army had to take into account the overall situation and fled North in a hurry.
The main force of the Tang army did not move a single soldier, but won a complete victory in that match.
The Turks lost more than 10000 elite soldiers, and most of the Turkic Royal garrison was killed. The Turkic Prince is still detained in the dungeon.
And all this. It was all because Tang haobing made dangerous moves, took the wrong edge with his sword, went deep into the hinterland of the grassland and raided the Yinshan Mountain.
When they first mentioned this plan, although the king of the Tang Dynasty and Li Xiaogong agreed with it, they privately left behind.
The 3000 soldiers who raided Yinshan Mountain were used as smoke chess pieces to confuse Jieli Khan''s judgment of the battlefield.
However, to everyone''s disbelief, this team, which is not optimistic about, has controlled the movement of the whole Turkic army, which not only disturbed their restlessness in the rear, but also damaged many soldiers.
In the end, this war can be described as a great shame for Turks in the past century. That is, this war made Datang win the fire easily.
The reason is not that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is strong, but that the chief General of the three thousand warriors is resourceful and calm.
At this moment, the king of Tang sat high at the head of the hall, raised his chin and considered it.
The previous raid can be called a miracle, but miracles can''t happen again and again.
With the painful experience and lessons of reward, Jieli Khan will certainly defend the western line. Even if he sends a cavalry now, he will not break the line of defense unless there is a miracle.
If you can''t break that line of defense, why go deep into Yinshan? What about the golden account court?
What''s more, even Chumo, the leading young man, almost died on the battlefield.
Now that he sent another young general to do such an adventurous thing, the king of Tang couldn''t bear it at the bottom of his heart.
After all, Tang Hao is an indispensable candidate among the successors in the Datang military camp.
Du Ruhui glanced at Su Dingshan and said in a deep voice.
"The same mistake can''t be made twice in a row? Najieli Khan is not a fool. He won''t guard against it?"
Fang Xuanling also agreed.
"Even if Tang Hao led another 3000 cavalry to the north from the western line, he would never come as last time and create miracles."
Many people in the hall began to agree with the views of the two literary ministers.
Even among the generals, many generals joined in.
Changsun Wuji wanted to recommend Tang Hao, strode forward, looked at the people coldly and said slowly.
"What if this time, it''s not 3000 Jiashi, but 20000?"
Hearing the speech, there was a slight commotion in the hearts of the people. Unexpectedly, changsun Wuji would stand up and support Tang Hao.
However, nowadays, war is imminent. It is not a time for civil and military differences and personal positions, but a state matter related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
The people also thought more and thought carefully about the words of changsun Wuji.
Thinking for a moment, Du Ruhui shook his head.
"Not to mention that the strategy of surprise attack is old, as far as Tang Xianzi himself is concerned, although he can lead 5000 troops as a general of Dingyuan, he has no experience in leading troops to participate in 10000 regiment war. Maybe he can lead 3000 troops to raid, but he may not be able to make achievements with 20000 cavalry."
Gao Shilian, who stood in the front row of the generals, said slowly.
"Not necessarily."
"Whether it''s a surprise attack on Xiangcheng, a detour to annihilate the enemy in the Turkic rear, or the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops at the place of escape, no matter which step, the commander will be doomed even if he hesitates or deviates slightly."
"However, this team can safely return in the rapid changes and complete the impossible. This alone is no worse than the veterans present."
Saying this, Gao Shilian''s eyes swept one by one from the faces of the veterans.
Those veterans, although they were not satisfied with it, had to admit it and nodded slightly.
Cheng Zhijie''s face flashed a trace of impatience. His eyebrows twisted and he not only blurted out.
"Your Majesty, when the handsome Tang Dynasty is out of youth and prime, my son luckily picked up his life, and now let Tang county take risks, which..."
Cheng Zhijie''s words are sincere, not that he is afraid of war. If so, as a Duke of his country, he doesn''t have to send his son to join the army.
However, thinking of the raid, it must be hundreds of times more dangerous than his son''s rescue. If Tang Hao really had an accident, he lost an excellent handsome talent to Datang, which is completely irreparable.
"That''s bad!"
The eldest sun Wuji raised his chest and said coldly.
"Tang Hao''s talent is obvious to all, but it is precisely this kind of war to sharpen. If you stay under the protection of veteran generals and make contributions all the time, how can you lead the army to fight in all directions in the future."
Although these words seem cruel, they are also true.
For a time, Cheng Zhijie was speechless, but the worry still lingered in his heart. Looking at Gao Shilian and changsun Wuji, he felt a burst of trouble in his heart.
