Chapter 486: Let’s go to create momentum

When talking about this with his family, the senior officials thought about it almost the same as Shi Lei. They all felt that this Tuyuhun clamping this time would definitely not end simply... With the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and the wise mentality of Li Shimin, such continuous provocations are completely unforgivable. If Tuyuhun's arrogance is completely destroyed, how can he be worthy of his name as "Tian Khan".

There is another factor that will also prompt Li Shimin to make a full-scale attack on Tuyuhun. Because the boss of Tuyuhun is still Fu Yun Khan, who invaded the Central Plains a lot during the Sui Dynasty, but in the end he was beaten back by the Sui Dynasty and became a dog of a family. He even had to live under someone else's roof to survive and had to become a turtle with his head shrinking.

As a result, it is now my Tang Dynasty, and this person is starting to jump around again, trembling on Li Shimin's head. This is absolutely unbearable.

Li Shimin was determined to become a "Eternal Emperor" and wanted to make all aspects of the Tang Dynasty surpass the Sui Dynasty in an all-round way to prove the inevitable historical "nature" of the Tang Dynasty's replacement. If the defeated generals of the previous dynasty continue to act as a blessing, where would he put his face? Therefore, Li Shimin, who was slapped in the face, would definitely not make Tuyuhun have a good life.

Of course, this is not a simple battle of will. It is a matter of seeking justice for the bullied people, not to mention that it involves huge benefits.

The Turks have been defeated for a long time. After several years of digestion and absorption, the interests on the grassland have basically been put into peace. The Tang Dynasty now has this ability and military strength, and it is indeed necessary to find a new foreign enemy to prepare for war.

It can be regarded as a training for the Tang Dynasty to train a new group of people who dared to fight and could fight. After all, the group of "elite" soldiers who fought in the world during the founding period, even the generals, had already passed the heyday of "spring" and autumn, which was a bit like a hero in his twilight years.

It is time for the Tang Dynasty to cultivate more successors to continue to ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and to consolidate the stability and unity within the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, by eliminating such a powerful foreign enemy, we will further promote the Tang Dynasty's military power to the outside world, making the position of the heart of all nations even more inviolable.

Moreover, Tuyuhun is also a famous horse herd. The Qinghai Campanula they carefully cultivated is also one of the most famous horse breeds in the world. The Qinghai Campanula, which combines the advantages of a variety of horse breeds, is also the most suitable for use as war horses. The Tang Dynasty was obviously not satisfied with it and could only obtain these high-quality war horses through trade at extremely high prices.

It is obviously more in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty to turn all the tribes in Tuyuhun into their own herds and slaves, and to turn their land into their own horse farming land.

Now they even took the initiative to deliver the reasons for the war to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. If they don’t fight, they will be sorry for their wishes.

It is just that how to fight, who to fight and what level of fight are things that need to be carefully considered. In addition, you need to look at the results of the battle in advance to judge the combat power of both sides in order to better formulate a battle plan.

This also shows some clues from the employment of the first battle. The person who led the army to attack was Duan Zhixuan, the old man who followed him when Li Tang started his career, and the troops he gave were less than the level of the battle to destroy the country. It was a relatively safe way to test.

Since everyone's opinions are very certain, this Tuyuhun fight must be fought, but why should Shi Lei be sent to the scene and how to ensure that Shi Lei can catch up with this "wave" battle is something Shi Lei and the others need to consider carefully.

The last few senior officials helped me think about it, and just think about it and express my feelings first.

Although everyone has speculated before, they think that Li Shimin is likely to use Shi Lei, the first fierce general of the younger generation. Since it means training a new team for the Tang Dynasty, it would be too "wasteful" to put a powerful general like Shi Lei, if you don't need to use Shi Lei, you'll be a little too much.

And choosing this time to transfer Shi Lei back to his side should be a signal.

In addition, from Shi Lei's perspective, it is more reasonable that Li Shimin always gives Shi Lei more opportunities to make contributions. Shi Lei gave him a lot of benefits before, but Li Shimin has not given Shi Lei enough rewards.

But it was just like what the butler said, Li Shimin couldn't tell Shi Lei clearly, "Get out and take advantage of the military achievements. When I come back, I will give you a promotion and salary increase, so that you can reach the peak of your life."

Even if he really has this meaning, he should be more reserved and express it in a tactful manner. But the real opportunity still depends on Shi Lei to fight for.

If you don’t ask for orders to join the war, how can Li Shimin know whether you want to go? Maybe you don’t want to go if the front line is difficult, or you want to enjoy a happy life with your wife and children at home for a few more days.

Li Shimin is not so inhumane. If his subordinates really have such needs, he must try his best to consider it. Could it be that he can still expect him, the emperor, to come and invite him Shi Lei to fight?

The Tang Dynasty has never lacked powerful generals, but it is just that it is rare to be as powerful as Shi Lei. But his importance is definitely not as good as Li Jing, a recognized god of war who can be used as a guarantee of victory. It is not as good as the emperor who needs to be invited by the emperor.

Then Shi Lei needs to express his determination to participate in the war through various channels, and his confidence that he is not afraid of hardships and must win the battle.

But there is still a concern here. What he ran to Li Shimin directly to say is equivalent to making a military order, and he is likely to fall into a situation where he only wins but not loses, which is a bit passive.

Don’t forget that he has Changsun Wuji, a famously petty enemy, and the Dou family is reluctant to let him go. If he enters the station in such a manner, if he really makes any mistakes and is caught by these enemies who wish to shoot black arrows at him, his future will be really worrying.

Therefore, this kind of direct expression of determination is not very wise, so we can only achieve this goal through a more roundabout way. Please tell me about it.

External efforts are part of it, which is a way to confirm that he has a chance to participate in the war. On the other hand, in order to really go to the battlefield, it is also a further demonstration of his determination. He must also improve the quality of his subordinates.

After all, it was not the first time he had participated in the war to suppress the Turks. At that time, he had to take good care of himself, take the dozens of guards who gave him military merits, be his arrows, and fully demonstrate his personal courage.

Now he is the commander of the Zhechong of the Yi Mansion. If he really participates in the war, he will probably have to take the Guanzhong soldiers under his command with him. He will not be fighting alone. The performance of his subordinates will also be an important aspect of measuring his own performance. He cannot let his subordinates be dragged down.

Although he has been in office for a short time, he will not take these into consideration when calculating military achievements. Good performance is good, bad performance is bad, and no one cares why you are bad.

So the final plan has been decided. While Shi Lei is promoting and promoting himself during this period, he must also do a good job in training his subordinates and bring out a group of "eliminate" soldiers to truly add luster to himself on the battlefield.
