Opportunity never comes again.
The occurrence of locust plague is just a possibility.
The king of Tang said with a flash of determination in his eyes.
"Fight! I must fight!"
"It just depends on how long this war can be fought."
Indeed, that''s the real point.
Once the war machine of the army starts, the consumption of grain and grass dissipates at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this era of low productivity and relying on heaven to harvest, especially the food is very scarce.
Even if the granary is full, it can''t withstand the consumption of a long war.
But for the question of how long the war can last, both the king of Tang Dynasty and every famous general present have no bottom in their hearts.
After all, the war is unpredictable, and the corresponding way will be changed accordingly.
The vast grassland can not be searched in one or two days.
What''s more, this grassland is a strange environment for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. How can we detect the residual hiding place of Turks so accurately.
All the generals turned their eyes to Li Jing, hoping that he could give an accurate answer.
In fact, everyone already knows that this is impossible.
In full view of the public, the gray haired army God of the Tang Dynasty smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the drooping faces of the generals. Fang Xuanling slowly arched his hands to the king of Tang and said in a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, if the war can be ended within two months, the army does not need to borrow spare food and grass for disaster relief."
"Minister, I feel no objection to the war."
These words, it seems that Fang Xuanling has given in, but in fact, he is advising the king of Tang.
At the same time, it is also for those generals.
Fang Xuanling also knew that the king of Tang would be the main battle.
But in this war, if you can''t gamble well, Datang will suffer from internal and external troubles and lose his vitality.
Even the whole Tang Dynasty will fall down from the altar, and the national strength will fall behind the countries.
Yuchi Jingde suddenly stepped out of the crowd, pointed to Fang Xuanling and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Lord Liang, how can you talk like this!"
"Two months? It''s hard even if the gods come down to earth!"
It''s not about the strength of the remaining East Turks, but on the whole, it''s a war to destroy the country.
How can these tough grassland people sit and wait to die?
If the whole people are really fighting hard, I''m afraid the force will surge to about 80000.
The vast grassland, to exterminate these 80000 Turks, not to mention two months, even half a year may not be cleaned up!
Although the Jieli Khan is dead, his ASHNA sheer and Ge Shuhan are all tigers and wolves.
In terms of intelligence and strategy, marching and fighting is not much worse than Jieli Khan.
Cheng Zhijie snorted angrily and said.
"If Liang Guogong wants to end this battle in two months, he will be alive after the champion. I''m afraid it''s hard to do it!"
After some words, the whole hall fell into silence again.
What the generals consider is often to expand the territory for the opening up of the Tang Dynasty, to levy and kill.
What the literary ministers should consider is how to make the Tang Empire prosperous and powerful, rich and powerful.
This is the contradiction between civil and military affairs.
At this time, what Fang Xuanling said seems to be a bit difficult. In fact, it is also to ensure the smooth operation of the Empire of the Tang Dynasty.
At present, the National Treasury itself is a little tight after two northern expeditions and one South expedition.
If we fall into the quagmire of this war, Tang history will not be able to support a protracted war.
If the war falls into passivity outside, Datang will encounter a disaster year inside.
At that time, the whole Tang Dynasty will have an unstable foundation.
The king of Tang sat quietly on the dragon. Now all he had to do was weigh the pros and cons and consider the gains and losses.
Seeing that the king of Tang still failed to put down the idea of the northern expedition, Du Ruhui said slowly.
"The Treasury of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not have a protracted war. If the battle cannot be ended in two months, I will definitely oppose it."
Hearing the calm and determined tone and the appearance of the old God, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde immediately became angry.
"You... You!"
They stared at the tiger''s eyes and stared at the calm and calm two people. They wanted to beat them up!
However, the two old ministers seemed to turn a blind eye and stood in the hall with their hands down, looking the same.
Seeing this scene only gave the king of Tang a headache.
One year later, I was one year old. The eastern Turks had not yet eliminated LISO, and there were still Western Turks, Koguryo and other places behind.
If we delay further, we are afraid that the dream of unifying the north will be out of reach.
It is imperative for the king of Tang Dynasty to exterminate the East Turks!
However, the problems mentioned by Wen Chen are indeed a huge hidden danger.
As the head of a country, he can''t bet on the fate of the Empire.
Tang Wang slowly leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. This problem always came to mind.
Is it really possible to end the war in two months?
Recalling Li Jing''s shaking his head just now, the king of Tang also realized that it was almost impossible.
The king of Tang slowly waved his hand and said.
"Let''s talk about it here first."
"Let me think again about how to make a decision."
Then, a cadre of civil and military ministers went out of the hall one after another.
