Everyone was attracted by Li Shimin's idea. At this time, Li Shentong and others expressed their support. Only Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said nothing.
I don¡¯t know if he is worried about whether the troops will be successful or something else.
At this time, Li Yuan saw the appearance of his eldest son and said, "Bishamon, what do you think of Erlang's words?"
Li Yuan was worried that his eldest son would be unhappy because his second son rejected his suggestion, so he deliberately gave him a chance to speak. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin said some kind words respectively, and then Li Yuan acted as a peacemaker and exposed the matter.
Seeing his father call his name, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to speak.
But Li Jiancheng did not say hello to me, hello to everyone, as Li Yuan hoped.
Li Jiancheng knew very well that although his identity had not changed at all after he was released from Chang'an, and he was still favored by his father as the heir apparent, in the eyes of many people, he was no longer qualified to be the heir apparent after being released from captivity. Moreover, he has lost all his cronies, and his voice has been greatly reduced. He is even inferior to his brother Li Shimin, who has won many battles.
In order to gain his own prestige, Li Jiancheng would not speak easily, but if he did speak, he could not be refuted. Especially he couldn't be refuted by his second brother Li Shimin.
So Li Jiancheng said: "I also think what Erlang said makes sense, but I have a question: How many troops does Erlang think our army should send to capture Jingxiang?"
Sending troops to occupy Jingxiang and sending troops to support Jingxiang are completely different things.
The latter only needs to send troops, and there is no need to consider logistics at all. It is completely left to Xiao Liang, and he can also take the opportunity to blackmail Xiao Mian for a large amount of money. But if we capture Jingxiang, it will be a full-scale battle, and the military supplies needed will probably be lost at sea.
When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath. Li Shimin said before that Bashu could send 300,000 troops, but that was only theoretical and meant to be reached to the limit. At this time, Li Yuan had less than 100,000 troops, and other aristocratic families also controlled more than 100,000, but the total number would not exceed 250,000. Two hundred thousand troops were sent this time, which was almost 80% of Li Tang's internal army. The small court in Chengdu alone could not afford so many troops. Even if Li Yuan could agree to send 200,000 troops, how could he convince the big families to send troops as well?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the 200,000 man and horse, more civilian men and strong men are needed. The food and expenses alone can empty the newly settled Chengdu court.
Li Jiancheng said: "Given the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, it is impossible to provide 200,000 people! Besides, the Northern Sui army in Hanzhong is eyeing the enemy. If the main force of our army leaves Jingxiang in the west, it will inevitably create an emptiness in the north. Once the Northern Sui army is If you take advantage of it, the consequences will be unpredictable.¡±
Li Shimin heard this, but he didn't take it seriously.
"There are 600,000 households in Bashu, and we can send at least 400,000 troops. It is completely feasible for our army to send half of our troops to Jingxiang and half to guard Guanzhong."
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but want to laugh. He felt that Li Shimin had taken this completely for granted, so he retorted: "Erlang, you must understand that although there are many people in Bashu, the soldiers are not just for me. Among the soldiers in Bashu, almost half of them are owned by the local government." , where can we get so many soldiers?"
"Everything in the world is bustling for profit. The world is bustling for profit. Every family is unwilling to send troops because they feel that nothing will be gained and their efforts will be wasted. Our army can use the land and wealth gained from this battle. One share will be given to each family in the place where troops are sent. Jingxiang is fertile and the land is abundant, so each family will be moved."
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin with wide eyes, thinking that the other party was crazy.
At this time, Zhang Si. The gains from war are usually divided in half, half for the soldiers, half for the country, and sometimes more for the soldiers. After all, from ancient times to the present, private possession has never been prohibited. If one-third is given to aristocratic families, the country will throw out expenses, and there will be almost nothing left, and it will even suffer losses.
¡°If we reap all the rewards, what will the country gain?¡±
Li Shimin did not look at the questioning expression on Li Shimin's face, but looked resolutely at everyone present.
¡°The country has obtained the land of Jingxiang, which is already the biggest gain.¡±
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin, and was not moved by Li Shimin's heroic words. Instead, he was speechless. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and if the expenses are not accounted for, the entire Li Tang's finances will collapse. The pacification of Jingxiang and normal tax collection will be done next year, but Li Tang will not be able to survive until that time.
However, Li Jiancheng did not accuse Li Shimin or even refute.
Li Shimin is a general, and his responsibility is to capture cities and territories. If he doesn't win the battle well, he can find someone to help him.??, but if the finances collapse, the responsibility does not lie with him, and there is no need for him to consider the matter.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Li Jiancheng asks again, it means that the soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles, regardless of life and death, but the court can't even send some food and items?
The incompetent one is Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng was difficult to speak, but his followers could step forward.
At this time, Liu Wenjing, who was on good terms with Li Jiancheng, stood up.
When Huang Mingyuan returned Li Jiancheng, he was afraid that Li Jiancheng would not be able to fight Li Shimin alone, so he specially sent back Liu Wenjing and Feng Li.
Because Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng experienced the Jinyang Uprising and the Battle of Tongguan together, their relationship is much closer than in history. In comparison, Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin have nothing in common.
Liu Wenjing is a person who dares to speak out. This does not mean that he is upright, but that he can't keep his mouth shut. No matter what the occasion, he dares to say anything.
Liu Wenjing then asked: "What will happen if the Duke of Qin insists on capturing Jingxiang and Xiangxiang? I can forgive me for asking, is it really that easy to win Jingxiang? Even if Xiaoliang's soldiers are really weak, they still have the Northern Sui army by their side. I If the Northern Sui army sends troops, the Northern Sui army will never watch our army occupy Jingxiang. If the Northern Sui army sends troops, our army will fall into a dangerous situation of fighting on two fronts.
"And no one can guarantee that if Xiao Mian was severely defeated, he would directly surrender to the Northern Sui Dynasty. If this is true, the safety of my two hundred thousand soldiers will be a problem. "
Liu Wenjing just asked you directly, can you defeat the Northern Sui Army?
Although Li Shimin defeated Liang Mo before, occupied Hechi, and opened the way to Sichuan; although Li Shimin defeated Xiao Jati and regained Badong, the gold content was not that high.

"Li Shimin may not be able to win against the elite of the Northern Sui Dynasty.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin at this time.
Of course, Li Shimin cannot promise that he will defeat the Sui Dynasty. This is pure bragging, and no one will believe it.
Li Shimin then said: "Do you know why Huang Weiyang didn't attack Jingxiang after his victory in Jiujiang?"
Control the big one and control the owl. In this era, news generally spread unfavorably, and Li Yuan and the others did not receive as much news as Li Shimin in Badong.
No one spoke at this time, and Li Shimin said again: "I have a spy who came from the south of the Yangtze River. Huang Weiyang is waging war in the south of the Yangtze River and imposing violent conquests. Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River is in danger. The governor of Liyang County in the Northern Sui Dynasty, Fu Gong'e, raised troops in Liyang. , all parts of the Jianghuai River region rose up to respond, and the entire Jiangnan area was completely in chaos."
