Chapter 113 This battle is bound to be lost!
Chapter 113 This battle is bound to be lost!
The climatic data of the first year of Zhenguan, obtained by signing in before, seems to contain unfavorable news.
Li Hao immediately flipped through it in his mind.
During this period of time, the mountains in the Turkic region were blocked by heavy snow!
In the near future, there will be severe drought in the Hedong Road area!
Li Hao frowned rarely.
It is necessary to write a letter to Cao Chun, and pay attention to the matter of the heavy snow closing the mountain, so as to avoid losing troops and generals.
Then Li Hao said to Changsun Wuji:
"Uncle Changsun, for the sake of entertaining me today, I can tell you my opinion."
"In my opinion, if you fight this battle, you will lose!"
Although Li Hao's tone was not intense.
But in Changsun Wuji's mind, it was like a thunder!
All the important officials in the court knew Li Hao's ability to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
Changsun Wuji immediately asked:
"Mr. Li Hao, why is this? Although I don't think this battle will be so easy, with our troops from the Tang Dynasty, we can always achieve a miserable victory against the declining Turks."
"I don't know how you came to such a conclusion?"
Li Hao smiled and said:
"The comparison of combat power on the surface is indeed the case. The Turks declined, and the Tang Dynasty's military strength became stronger. The two sides fought recklessly, and the Great Tang defeated the Turks."
"But fighting does not only depend on the comparison of combat power on the surface, but also depends on the right time, place and people. In this battle, at least the Tang Dynasty will not occupy the time!"
"Do you know why the Turkic Turk Khan wrote to His Majesty?"
Changsun Wuji said he didn't know.
"Isn't it because Tuli Khan wants to take the opportunity to become a Khan?"
Li Hao shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. Turkic Khan's desire to become a khan is certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, the Turkic region is freezing cold now, and the mountains have been covered by heavy snow! All the tribes have reached the verge of life and death. At this time, the Turkic Khan Still exploiting and squeezing, how can the people below have no reason to do the same?"
"But the problem is, since the heavy snow has closed the mountain, how can the Tang army attack? In such severe cold weather, it would be good if the soldiers don't freeze to death. Do you expect them to fight?"
The more Changsun Wuji heard it, the more frightened he became!
It turns out that the Turkic Khan had to seek an opportunity to unite with His Majesty because of the severe cold in the Turkic region.
If His Majesty does go out, if the severe cold weather is not expected, the Tang army may not be able to move even an inch in the Turkic region!
It's really hard to say how many people will come back by then!
Changsun Wuji immediately said:
"Mr. Li Hao, I must tell His Majesty the news as soon as possible!"
"At least let His Majesty prepare for the severe cold in the Turkic region!"
Li Hao smiled and said:
"It's actually more than that."
"If it's just heavy snow blocking the mountains, as long as there are enough cotton coats, even if you can't win, you can retreat back safely."
"However, the route to attack the Turks is too long, and the logistics pressure is enormous. If the food supply is not available, even if you don't freeze to death, you will starve to death!"
"Soldiers have no food, so how can they have combat effectiveness? When the Turks organize a little counterattack, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will suffer heavy casualties!"
"But the Hedong Road area will soon be severely drought!"
"If you send troops to attack the Turks at this time, how will you spend enough money and food to relieve the disaster?"
Changsun Wuji was shocked!
"Hedong Road is going to be severely drought?"
"Mr. Li Hao, how did you know this news?"
Li Hao smiled slightly.
"I have my own news channel, Uncle Changsun, you can choose whether you believe it or not."
Changsun Wuji knew that Li Hao never missed what he said, no matter how outrageous what he said, it was finally realized.
What's more, Hedong Road is indeed prone to severe drought, and there have been signs before. As the prime minister, Changsun Wuji still knows the basic situation of various regions in the country.
If there is really a severe drought in Hedong Road, then if you send troops at this time, your majesty will be in a dilemma.
If there is disaster relief, the soldiers on the expedition will have nothing to eat.
If there is no disaster relief, the displaced refugees don't know what they will do!
Changsun Wuji thought about it carefully, goosebumps all over his back!
Your Majesty must be persuaded!
There is very little hope of success in this battle. Under the snow-covered mountains, the roads are extremely difficult to pass, and it is almost impossible to occupy the territory.
It is also easy to cause civil unrest.
This fight will definitely hurt Datang, and even damage his vitality!
Changsun Wuji couldn't sit still any longer.
"Mr. Li Hao, this matter is really urgent, I must go to the palace to report to His Majesty as soon as possible!"
"Excuse me!"
After all, Changsun Wuji hurriedly left and rushed to Taiji Palace.
Li Hao couldn't help smiling when he saw his eldest grandson Wuji leave so anxiously, this eldest grandson Wuji was also a loyal and patriotic person.
After drinking the glass of wine in his hand, Li Hao also went back to the mansion.
He wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Cao Chun.
The letter explained the climate of the Turks, and Cao Chun was asked to be careful.
……
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin's study.
Li Shimin was circling dots on the map, thinking about the method of advancing troops.
He was ready to order Li Jing to lead troops to attack the Turks.
At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly broke in.
Changsun Wuji has the right to meet Li Shimin at any time, so the guards did not stop Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin saw Changsun Wuji's agitated appearance, and said with a smile:
"Auxiliary machine, why come here in such a hurry, what's the matter with you?"
Changsun Wuji said seriously:
"His Majesty!"
"I just discussed with Mr. Li Hao about attacking the Turks, and got extremely important news, which I must report to you!"
Hearing the word Li Hao, Li Shimin's smile slightly restrained.
asked:
"Auxiliary machine, speak slowly, don't worry."
Changsun Wuji hastily said:
"Your Majesty, do you know why Tuli Khan wrote you this letter to join forces with you? You must know that Turkic people never like to join forces with foreigners, and they will be considered as colluding with foreigners."
"That's because the Turks are now covered by heavy snow, and there is almost nothing to eat, but the Turkic Khan is still expropriating food, and the Turkic Khan is forced to join forces with you."
"Turkic weather is so cold, if you rush into the army rashly, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"
Li Shimin's expression immediately became serious!
"Auxiliary machine, is this true?"
Changsun Wuji said word by word:
"Mr. Li Hao told me personally that if His Majesty doesn't believe you, you can send someone to investigate. It's hard to hide the climate matter, as long as you investigate, there will be results!"
Li Shimin already believed [-]% to [-]% in his heart.
What Li Hao said is probably true.
Unexpectedly, this Li Hao is so powerful, thousands of miles away, he actually has such a clear understanding of the Turkic climate, which is much more powerful than Li Shimin's intelligence network.
This heavy snow blocking the mountain is naturally a great disadvantage to the march.
If you are not careful, the whole army may be wiped out.
Changsun Wuji looked eagerly at Li Shimin, hoping that Li Shimin would withdraw his order to march.
But Li Shimin only hesitated for a moment, but his face was still very determined.
"Although it is snowing heavily, as long as we wear cotton clothes, we can still fight. If we are cold, don't Turkic soldiers not be cold? The result of fighting is the same!"
"Auxiliary machine, I know you are patriotic, but this opportunity is too rare. How many difficult battles have we fought in the past, are we going to be cowardly now?"
