"I saw that Jin Yuxin's face was white, and when he went down to the city, he almost fell."
Su Qingjie walked up to the city and laughed at Su Dawei."
I didn't embarrass him, you can discuss if you have a problem, but it's a pity that he didn't use it when he was given the opportunity.""
What conditions did you make with him?""
10,000 elite soldiers, borrowing the Governor's Mansion for one year, with full authority under our control, grain and grass from Silla, in addition, Silla will provide another 15,000 people with a year's grain and grass, which must be sent to Sihyun City in time."
When Su Qingjie heard this, the whole person was stunned.Fifteen thousand, a year's worth of food and grass.Ami's bamboo pole knocked hard.The Xiongjin Governor's Mansion now adds Liu Renliang's garrison, and it is only a little over 10,000 in total, which is to let the Silla people support the Tang army for a year?
Earn big!
For a while, Su Qingjie looked at Su Dawei's eyes like a god."
Why do you think of me like that?"
Su Qingjie licked his lips and said with some excitement: "You don't know, last year, when I Aye was besieging Pyongyang, I asked the Silla people to provide grain and grass, and they first said that the grain and grass were robbed, and then said that the road was blocked, and it dragged on for more than four months.When I'm going to withdraw my troops, the grain and grass haven't arrived yet.The people of Silla are simply a hairless iron rooster, but you ......
""The iron rooster has to be plucked bald by me." ”Su Dawei sneered: "I used to be too good to the Silla people, if I didn't give them a good look, these people would not be honest." ”Su Qingzhi nodded, glanced left and right, and said mysteriously: "I heard an ear just now, you said that you want to push Kim In-tae's son out to be the king of Silla, is it true?"
Kim In-tae still has a posthumous child?
”Su Dawei spread his hands: "How do I know this." ”"Then you ...... just now" "The grass on Kim In-tae's grave is half a foot high, I know a fart, scare him, besides, it's really necessary, just find a child, just say it's Kim In-tae's seed, what can Kim Fa-min do?"
Su Qingjie thought about it, and it was really so.There is no proof of this kind of thing, is it possible that Kim In-tae can still get up and testify to his "romantic debt"?
Similarly, Kim Famin and Kim Yushin could not prove it.And as long as Su Dawei is determined, this fake thing can also be true.Thinking of this, Su Qingjie couldn't help laughing, and tears came out of his eyes."
Ami, sometimes I'm really unconvinced, your shameless appearance is simply ......"
"It's just an example for you to learn, isn't it?"
Praise me more, and I can bear it. ”"Thief!
What is the cheek made of. ”Su Qingjie scolded with a smile, remembered something, and said: "By the way, the British government just sent someone to come, saying that he asked you to come over to discuss the matter." ”"Oh?"
Su Dawei put away his smile, patted the cold city, and said suspiciously: "Li Tao is looking for me, could it be that there is movement over there in Shangguli." ”…… As night falls, the sea of Kumazu Port gradually becomes quiet.In the starry sky, the ships of the Tang Army were coming in and out, endlessly, and they seemed very busy.Most of these ships are used to transport all kinds of logistical baggage, and a small number are to transport troops.A new war is about to begin, and the Tang Dynasty will not be willing to defeat Goguryeo, an old enemy.This is from the will of His Majesty the Emperor.Su Dawei was in a building ship and met the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty and the general manager of the Liaodong Road March.Out of the need for military secrecy, only a few high-ranking people in the Tang Army knew about Li Tao's visit to Baekje, and it was kept secret to the outside world.Now presiding over the work of transporting troops and grain is Liu Renliang.Even Xiongjin Port, after the battle with the Wa State at the mouth of the Baijiang River, had completely fallen into the hands of the Tang Army, and there were no idle people within a radius of dozens of miles, and all military operations were carried out in a very secret state."
Boss."
Su Dawei walked into the cabin and saw Li Tao wearing a home suit, a wide robe and a belt, with his back to the door, standing at the window looking at the moonlight.He saluted first, and only stepped into it after Li Tao turned around and said come in.There was already a personal guard outside the door, bringing the door and not allowing anyone to disturb it.Su Dawei swept his eyes and determined that there was only Li Tao in the room."
Boss, are you looking for me?""
Well, sit."
Li Tao nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed to the stool in front of the table.Su Dawei glanced at him, but he was not in a hurry to sit down.After Li Tao sat down, he sat down in the opposite position.didn't rush to speak, but looked at Li Tao with a calm expression.Li Tao stroked his long beard, squinted his eyes and looked up and down, nodded and said: "Calm and relaxed, it is a must for generals, and you have done a good job of this." ”Su Dawei smiled slightly and didn't answer his words.Fortunately, Li Tao didn't care, picked up the teapot on the table, picked up a cup for himself, and poured a cup of herbal tea."
Where's mine, Boss?""
If you have your own hands, pour your own tea."
Li Tao glared at him angrily.Su Dawei laughed, and sure enough, he reached out and picked up the plate in the teacup, took the teapot, and poured himself a cup."
You're a familiar man."
Li Tao shook his head: "I came to you today, first, to reminisce about the past, and secondly, to ask you about Goguryeo's opinion, as well as intelligence, and how our army is prepared." ”"Boss, the affairs are busy, so you don't have to talk about the old days, let's get straight to the point."
Su Dawei raised his glass, replaced the wine with tea, and saluted Li Tao."
Well, the old man won't go around the bush anymore."
Li Tao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "You also saw it when you came, and this side is preparing for battle."
Regardless of whether Quangai Suwen is really dead or not, this battle is also like an arrow on the string, and we have to fight. ”"Have to fight?"
Su Dawei sensitively captured the key.Li Tao nodded, stroked the long gray beard on his chest, and his eyes flickered slightly: "What do you think, what does my Datang rely on to dominate the world, and why is Your Majesty a 'Heavenly Khan'?"
”This is a thoughtless statement, and it seems to have the meaning of teaching in it.Su Dawei groaned slightly: "That is naturally my Tang Dynasty is strong, and Siyi is obedient." ”"What is our strength based on?""
The government military system, invincible, invincible martial arts."
Li Tao nodded, and shook his head again: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." ”His fingers rested on his beard, his gaze was a little far-reaching, as if he was stuck in memory, and he paused for a moment before saying: "The strength of the Tang Dynasty is because we have conquered the largest territory with the smallest population. ”"Huh?""
Su Dawei, do you read history?"
Li Tao asked casually, but without waiting for Su Dawei's answer, he continued to say to himself: "In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the population was more than 13 million, and in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population was more than 21 million.At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with 6.9 million households and a population of more than 30 million.Wait for my Datang to accept Sui's mess, guess how many belongings you have?
”"I ......
Ignorance. ”"The Great Sui left us more than 2 million households.""
That's so bad!"
Su Dawei was taken aback, knowing this situation for the first time.From 6.9 million households in the early Sui Dynasty to more than 2 million households in the early Tang Dynasty, about two-thirds of the population was reduced."
Yes, so the founding of the Tang Dynasty is so much belonging, more than 10 million people, not as good as in the early Han Dynasty."

Li Tao sighed lightly, and his face showed a strange expression that was half sentimental and half melancholy."
Starting from Chang'an, go to the Western Regions to protect Anxi, with a territory of thousands of miles.To the east, to the extreme of the sea, to the west, to the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, the end of manpower.To the north, the reckless snowfields.To the south, the islands of the ocean, off the beaten track.An order was issued from Chang'an, and it could take a year or two to reach the farthest borders of the empire.You say, what did we rely on to build such a large territory with such a small population?
”"Relying on the abundance of martial arts."
Su Dawei subconsciously said: "Isn't it that our army's strong combat power, strong national strength, coupled with the organizational ability of the government and military system, made Siyi surrender?"
”"You're just scratching the surface."
Li Tao shook his head and said: "The military system of the founding of the Tang Dynasty is inherited from the Great Sui Dynasty.The system can only guarantee the lower limit of an organization, but it cannot guarantee that it will be strong. ”Led by Li Tao's words, Su Dawei had long forgotten the original question, but became interested in what he proposed."
Isn't it a system?""
It's not that the government military system is denied, it's just that a complete system is a lower limit, as long as the system is not chaotic, it can always maintain a minimum level, but it is actually people who determine the upper limit.""
People?""
Of course."
Li Tao stroked his beard and said: "Hundreds of generations have practiced the Qin law, why did Qin die II, but the Han who inherited the Qin law can enjoy the country for three hundred years?"
”Su Dawei groaned for a while: "Is it because of the difference between people?"
”"People are different, but he is the same."
Li Tao stroked his beard and said: "But you say the same, everyone's talent is different." ”"British duke, can you speak human words.""
Ahem, it's the ability of the founding monarch that determines the upper limit.""
I want to hear about it.""
Isn't this obvious, no matter how good the system is, it depends on the people who use it, and the reason why we are strong is because Taizong was too strong back then.""
British Duke, Taizong is ......"
No one is there, what do you mean by slapping Li Shimin's ass in front of me?"
I'm telling the truth."
Li Tao Zhengse said: "The same founding of the country, the population of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasty, why did it take only seven years to unify the country, and the territory is so large that it has never been seen in ancient times?"
If it weren't for Taizong's strong personal ability, how could he achieve this goal with a smaller population?
”"I'm a little confused, English duke, what did you say at the beginning?""
That's the question, why do we have to fight Goguryeo.""
Why?""
Because we have conquered the largest territory with the smallest population, and in most areas, the population of our Tang Army is far from enough, and we cannot achieve absolute numerical superiority, so we can only garrison with very few troops."
Li Tao crossed his fingers and calculated: "Anxi is the capital of the palace, there are thousands of soldiers, and the four towns of Anxi only have the responsibility of patrolling and mediating and early warning, and there are almost no soldiers stationed.As a newly conquered land, Baekje had only 10,000 soldiers here.Not counting other places, many places even only planted a flag of my Datang, and only sent a few people to guard it.This is the dilemma of my Datang. ”After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "What did my Datang rely on to subdue Siyi?
Does it depend on the large population?
No.Does it depend on the strength of the country?
No matter how strong the national strength is, it can't stop so many places and so many holes in spending money.Is it relying on the invincibility of the Tang army?
Yes and no. ”Li Tao rarely said so many words in one breath, coughed a few times, adjusted his breathing, and then said under Su Dawei's concerned attention: "We rely on the 'myth' laid down from the Taizong period.With the fewest people, the greatest battle can be won.Even if there are occasional small setbacks, they will win the final victory in an instant.This is the undefeated myth that Taizong laid down for us.This is also the biggest deterrent of my Datang. ”Su Dawei nodded thoughtfully, this is the same as brand building.Since the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty has destroyed countless countries.In each battle, less often wins, and the efficiency of destroying the country is extremely high.The overlords of the past have fallen one by one.Datang is an undefeated myth forged with blood and fire.This is the root of the fear and obedience of the four yi."
If we want to continue such a myth, we cannot fail."
Li Tao's words brought Su Dawei back to reality.()
