Li Tao said: "If there is no secret agreement between His Highness and Zhu Shekler, it may not be easy to defeat the Turkic coalition army, and the old minister will not dare to take credit."
"The British Duke is humble, come, come, I also want to talk to the British Duke about the next battle plan."
Li Tao was taken aback, dragged by Li Mu, and asked as he walked: "Hasn't His Highness already agreed with Zhu Xie Ke that the three states of Yiyi, Xi, and Ting can be passed down with Qiuzi as the boundary, how can you say that you can fight?"
After entering the room, Li Tao found that Li Yi, Han Wei and the generals under his command were all standing and waiting.
"The last general and others will see His Royal Highness King Wu and the British Duke."
Li Tao had a faint realization in his heart.
Li Mu dragged Li Tao's hand and came to the map.
Pointing to the line of Qiuzi, Issyk-Kul Lake, and Broken Leaves, he said: "British Princess, please see, if the Tang Dynasty occupies Broken Leaves and builds huge cities in Broken Leaves and Qiuci, then these two cities will become a fortress for the Tang Dynasty to resist the eastward advance of the Hu people in decades or even hundreds of years."
In other words, there is hope for a hundred years of peace between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty no longer have to suffer from war. ” Li Tao was secretly frightened, and said: "Your Highness's intentions, the old minister can understand, but now that the war is over, peace is not easy to come by."
If you start a war without authorization, I am afraid that the court will condemn you.
Your Highness has already taken over the task of pacifying the Western Regions, so why bother adding to the troubles?"
To be honest, Li Tao also agreed with Li Mu's plan very much in his heart.
In this battle, the Tang army won a big victory, and it could be taken by surprise.
With an army of 160,000 plus 40,000 gods and 20,000 gods.
There is a lot to be done.
But Li Tao knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
With his decades of experience in the court, he clearly knew that the emperor would not agree to Li Mu's battle.
This is not a question of whether to fight or not, the real reason is nothing more than the four words of high merit.
No emperor who thinks highly of himself can tolerate the military exploits of his courtiers more than himself.
Conquering Qiuzi and Broken Leaves, that's the real expansion of territory.
Of course, if there is another person, even if it is Li Tao himself, who leads this battle, it will be more acceptable to the emperor than Li Mu.
But the problem is that Li Tao knows that there are no two tigers, the Divine Guardian and the Divine Guard.
It is almost impossible to capture Broken Leaf with an army of 160,000 under his command.
First, the combat power of the government soldiers cannot be compared with the two guards.
Second, the army under his command did not have the ability to attack fortifications like artillery.
If Jushekle held the city to the death, it would be impossible to capture the city with the same number of troops.
After listening to Li Tao's words, Li Mu stared at Li Tao and said, "I know what the British Duke is worried about.
It's just that the handsome person should judge the situation, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the monarch outside.
Only by seizing the fighter plane and completing its work in one battle can he be called a famous general. ” Li Tao was silent.
Li Mu knew that without convincing Li Tao, it would be impossible for Shen Cewei and Shen Jiwei to complete this battle alone.
It's not that the combat strength of the two guards is insufficient, but that the number of people is too small to deploy on such a long front.
Moreover, without the support of Li Tao, the two guards will lose their support.
In case the grain route is cut off, the two guards will become a lone army suspended in the north of the Tianshan Mountains.
Li Mu could only continue to persuade Li Tao.
"It is the duty of a soldier to protect the territory and the people, and now such a good opportunity is in front of him, the people of the Tang Dynasty can obviously not be harassed by the Hu clan for decades, but they give up for some bullshit reasons, dare to ask the British public, do you not regret it in the dead of night In my opinion, if this battle can" Li Mu still refused to see Li Tao, "In my opinion, if this war can bring peace for the people for decades, no matter what the price is, it will be worth it."
Whether it is merit or demerit, it is commented on by history, and it is commented by tens of thousands of people.
I do not force the Duke of England, but if the Duke of England does not obey the orders of the king, then please surrender your military power. ” Speaking of this, Li Mu was already full of voice.
Back then, as soon as Buyi was introduced, Li Mu dared to ask Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, for military power.
Now that you are the king of Wu and the governor of Jiangnan Dongdao, Li Mu never wants to miss the opportunity.
Li Tao's dead-like face finally reacted at this time.
He said coldly: "With His Highness's ability, he wants to seize the military power in a certain hand, even if he takes it away, but he can't obey his orders." ” In the barracks, military power is the most feared by generals.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.
The right hands of more than a dozen generals who came in with Li Tao immediately pressed the hilt of the knife at their waists.
And the generals on Li Mu's side are also divided.
Li Yi and the generals of the Shen Cewei under his command immediately stood on Li Mu's side, but the generals of the forbidden army who came with Li Mu and Han Wei obviously turned into two camps.

Han Wei and his cronies and generals sided with Li Mu.
The rest of the generals left their places and walked to Li Tao's side.
Li Mu was very calm at this time, he glanced at the generals, and then said to Li Tao: "The British Duke wants to cause a fight here, but you can't know it, this is a matter of relatives and enemies." ” Li Tao replied: "There is no will, and the war is carried out without permission."
If a certain person follows His Royal Highness, and the court investigates it afterwards, His Royal Highness can guard Jiangnan, and the court can't do anything to His Highness, but His Royal Highness looks at these generals, they fought for the country and made great achievements, but in the end, they will be convicted for disobeying the order, and even implicate their families, dare to ask His Highness how he is safe" Li Tao's words obviously spoke the voice of the general, not that he did not dare to fight, but that he could not fight.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Li Mu.
Li Mu was speechless for a while, and fell silent.
Li Tao is right, the generals fought on the battlefield, and in the end, they were not rewarded, but they were held accountable, so it was not a tragic word to summarize.
Resisting the decree is a great crime, and even if it is coerced, it is at least dismissal.
Who would want to do such a thankless job Comparing hearts to hearts, Li Mu sighed, waved his hand at Li Yi and the others, and signaled to give up the confrontation.
Then he said to Li Tao: "Presumably, the British Duke should know that this king insists on fighting, and what he wants is by no means fame and fortune, and when I am in my current position, I want to come to the court without reward."
What I have done is also that the people of the Tang Dynasty and the world will no longer be harassed by the Hu people. ” "What the British Duke said is indeed reasonable, which is why this king has seized your military power, and his intention is nothing more than to isolate the British Duke and the generals from this matter, so that you will be removed from your involvement.
All the blame lies with the king. ” "Besides, this king doesn't want to control the army under your command, the British Duke can rest assured, as long as he captures Broken Leaf City, this king will return the military power to the British Duke."
Li Tao also sighed: "Your Highness thinks simply, unless Your Highness kills the old minister today, how can the imperial court pardon my crime because of a simple sentence that military power was taken away":
