Historically, after Li Shimin's death, Li Ji was basically the top leader in the army, assisting Li Zhi to achieve considerable achievements.

Although everyone knows a lot about Li Shimin's contributions in history books, in fact, when Li Zhi was in power, the Tang Dynasty also did a lot of things.

But because Wu Meiniang was too dazzling, everyone's first reaction was that they thought of this female emperor.

"In my opinion, there were not many people from the vassal states of the Western Regions before.

This time, it would be better to let the people of the Dashi Empire clean up them first, and then we will continue this opportunity to pacify the Western Regions and destroy all those countries.

In this way, we can set up a new road in the Western Regions for management.

Or, in conjunction with the plan to abolish roads and change provinces proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will directly establish one or two provinces in the Western Regions for management."

Yuchi Gong's views are different from those of others.

But I have to say that his idea is really in line with Li Kuan's meaning.

"Everyone knows that the Western Regions are far away from Chang'an City. The news we are receiving now is actually the content of the content that is almost a month ago.

When the army really appears in the Western Regions, it will happen at least more than a month later.

At that time, the Great Food Empire should have almost dealt with the people in the Western Regions.

Once winter comes, the Western Regions is actually not suitable for marching and fighting.

The cannibal should also have some understanding of this.

At this time, they will definitely take advantage of the current climate and directly increase their efforts to mobilize countries in the Western Regions.

So the plan mentioned by General Yuchi actually does not conflict with what was just discussed."

Xue Rengui obviously also supported sending troops immediately.

The Tang Dynasty finally had another chance of fighting, but if it missed, I don’t know when it would be time to wait.

He has been in the Liaodong Road Production and Construction Corps for several years, and is now assigned to an important position in the army. Some people actually dissatisfied with him.

Xue Rengui also urgently needed a contribution to make everyone recognize his position in the army.

"I think sending troops to the Western Regions to deal with the Dashi Empire should not be just a simple military act.

If the various departments of the court can act at the same time and link this behavior with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's territory, many things will actually be obvious.

For example, the construction of cement roads has now been built to Suzhou.

However, there is still a long way from Suzhou to the Western Regions. Can you start to consider building the cement roads on this section?

Then the railway from Chang'an City to Liangzhou has begun to be built. Can we speed up the speed and consider the section from Liangzhou to Suzhou?

In this way, the journey between Suzhou and Chang'an City is basically negligible, and Suzhou becomes the bridgehead for our Tang Dynasty to directly march into the Western Regions.

This is actually very beneficial for the development of Suzhou and to attract the surrounding nomadic tribes.

In addition, there are countless small countries in the Western Regions. If we directly destroy them, it may lead to a lot of criticism.

At this time, how can we use our business power to completely confuse the economic situation of these small countries?

Let the people within themselves live in dire straits.

Then we slowly sanction and slow down the time of germination for a few years. Will it be safer?

In addition, there should be many slave capturing teams in Liangzhou. I think we can let them work hard in the Western Regions?

Furthermore, the Tubo Kingdom also has a considerable influence in the Western Regions. When we fight against the Dashi Empire, will we let the Tubo Kingdom get a bargain?

This matter obviously needs to be considered together.

With all this, I think this action can make the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Work and other departments work together.

The one-time solution to the Western Regions problem allows our Tang Dynasty to penetrate into Central Asia and form a comprehensive strategic advantage over the Tubo Kingdom and the Dashi Empire."

Li Jing, who is already in the old age, usually rarely goes to court again.

However, for such an important meeting today, he must give Li Kuan face.

So he also participated in it himself.

Now that he has listened to everyone's opinions, he must not be an ostrich all the time.

I have to say that as soon as his speech came out, it attracted everyone's attention.

"What the pharmacist said makes sense, but this does not prevent us from sending troops to cut off the tentacles of the Great Food Empire now.

Then slowly manage the territory of the Western Regions?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't want to delay the conflict for too long, and everyone would lose their temper by then.

"The Western Regions must be managed slowly to achieve complete results.

It is best to move the local Hu people to other places just like when dealing with the former land of the Eastern Turks.

Then try to encourage the Tang people to develop in these places, so that ordinary Tang people can achieve a leap in life and become a small landlord after they go to these places.

Only in this way can the Western Regions become a stable land for the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no repeated scenes in more than ten years or decades later.

But to complete this thing, it is obviously not possible to complete it with the quick knife and temporary mess."

Li Jing was not targeting Cheng Yaojin.

However, when discussing the issue, it is normal for everyone to have different opinions.

"Your Highness, I wonder what your opinion is?"

Xiao Yu saw that everyone was constantly expressing their opinions on the scene, and it seemed difficult to unify them in a short period of time.

So I simply pulled Li Kuan, who could make a decision, into the water.

"If the great cannibals dare to take the initiative to tease us in the Western Regions, then we must fight back hard. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.

Just as everyone discussed just now, the Great Food Empire is actually an extraordinary country, and we cannot underestimate them.

Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were very brave in fighting, they now have no rivals in the world.

But everyone should know that the scope of the world is getting bigger and bigger now.

We cannot suffer losses in the hands of the cannibals because of our pride and arrogance.

Since its establishment, this Great Food Empire has been in constant expansion.

It can be said that they are fighting against different countries and tribes every moment, expanding every moment.

One victory after another made the soldiers of the Dashi Empire very brave in fighting. Compared with our Tang Dynasty, it may not be far from that.

Everyone must prepare for this.

Of course, we definitely don't have to be afraid of them.

If they dare to take the initiative to attack us in the Western Regions, we must fight back.

Not only that, we also have a unique advantage, which can arrange for the Tang Dynasty Navy to set off from Qi Wanggang to directly attack the coastal cities of the Dashi Empire, and act together on land and water.

Let the Dashi Empire know that our Tang Dynasty is not something they can afford to provoke."

Li Kuan did not yell at the time of destroying the Great Food Empire.

It is obviously not that easy for you to destroy such a country that is in an upward period and is very far away from the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, if they were destroyed, it would be unlikely that the Tang Dynasty would achieve the rule of this area.

On the contrary, it is better to suppress the Dashi Empire through various methods and let the Dashi Empire get along with the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty could make more profits from them, and also to plunder the countries around the Dashi Empire through their hands and feet.

On the other hand, once a country like the Dashi Empire encounters troubles in its external expansion, the internal conflicts will definitely accumulate.

The Tang Dynasty could make good use of this contradiction and make the Dashi Empire itself chaotic first.

At that time, with this kind of civil strife, the Tang Dynasty could make another good fortune.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. We can attack the Dashi Empire with water and land, and give them a harsh lesson.

The best way is to make them never dare to be in trouble with our Tang Dynasty in the future and be able to sign some treaties that bind them.

With this opportunity, we can expand our business influence to Africa and Europe.”

Xue Rengui is very familiar with Li Kuan.

At this time, he naturally knew how to act.

The overseas development of Datang is often serving commercial development.

Business development is obviously closely related to the economic development of the Tang Dynasty.

"I agree with Rengui's statement that we must find a way to suppress this Great Food Empire, but we can consider it flexibly in terms of methods.

Now is the critical moment for the economic development of our Tang Dynasty. We don’t have to think about destroying the Dashi Empire at one time.

This may not be realistic, after all, it is also a regional power with hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry.

And the things that people in that place believe in are very special. If we build this land down, it will be troublesome to manage it.

It would be of great significance to allow the Great Food Empire to compromise with us through this battle of water and land and sea, and let our caravans enter Africa and Europe freely."

Su Dingfang immediately expressed his agreement with Xue Rengui's statement.
