Li Shimin naturally understood what Zhang Feng meant.
However, this was an opportunity that couldn't be missed. If he missed this opportunity and gave Tubo a chance to struggle at death's door, he would still be an uncertain factor.
There might even be some friction between the two sides.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked, "Although the outside world knows this, you don't know about the problem at the border. If we can take it down in one fell swoop, although it's a bit shabby, at least we have a good reason to send troops now. But in the future, then …"
"Don't worry about this. If the Emperor doesn't have a problem here, he won't start a war now!"
Zhang Feng pointed to his head.
Li Shimin was speechless, but he still asked, "Why do you think the Emperor won't start a war?"
"Because the Emperor isn't stupid. You know the current situation of Tubo. It's so shabby. If we take over Tubo now, we'll have the right time, place, and people. But the most important thing is that you have to feed them with food from your own pocket!"
"Now, do you think the Tang Dynasty has the ability to share the food in its mouth and feed the people in that large piece of land? Definitely not! "
"And there's another important problem that you haven't thought of! I know what Lao Li is thinking. After all, your main business now is Tubo. You'll profit the most if you take over Tubo. But have you ever thought about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty? "
Li Shimin didn't even think about it.
"There's a shortage of food!"
Zhang Feng patted Li Shimin on the shoulder. "Yes! There's a shortage of food! Think about it. Now, there's a shortage of food everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, let alone in the army. The army is basically stationed at the border of the barren land. Now, Chang 'an City has just solved the problem of food and clothing. Do you think the barren land at the border will be better? "
Li Shimin couldn't help but understand.
Why would Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the others, who had always been warlike, retreat at this time? It turned out that they lacked food!
However, Li Shimin still couldn't figure it out. He asked, "If we miss this opportunity, won't it be difficult for Tubo to fight again? After all, I heard that Tubo is here to pledge allegiance."
What is this?
Zhang Feng didn't even think about it.
After all, there wasn't much in the future except for television.
The more he saw, the more he understood.
Although Zhang Feng didn't remember much about this kind of military novels, he could still vaguely remember some things about it.
Zhang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this thing is very simple! If you really want to take it down, you can do it at any time! "
Li Shimin pursed his lips and looked at Zhang Feng rolling up his sleeves and putting his feet on the stool. It was obvious that this guy was about to start showing off.
However, Li Shimin also wanted to know what this kid was capable of. Li Shimin took the opportunity to ask, "Then tell me, if this thing is over, how should we deal with it?"
Zhang Feng heard this and patted Li Shimin's shoulder. "Lao Li! You don't understand this, right? Let me explain it to you! First of all, it's definitely not possible now. I said it last time, and I'll say it again this time. When that piece of junk comes back, you'll have to mend it. Also, this piece of junk might not follow you wholeheartedly. It's like a dog that can't be fed well. What do you want it for? "
"Then how do we deal with it? According to your method, won't it be even more difficult after this famine? "Li Shiming asked in surprise." Yes. Yes. Yes.
Zhang Feng smiled slyly.
"If I say you don't understand this stuff, then you really don't. If you say you don't understand, then why are you still talking here? Isn't it good to do your business properly? "
Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
"Isn't it because I don't understand that I have to ask? Otherwise, if there's a big change, won't my business be the first to be affected? When that time comes, I'll be easily affected, and you'll also get less money, right? Also, you need money everywhere now! "
Li Shimin's words poked Zhang Feng's sore spot.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"Aiya! Look at you, why are you talking about this stuff out of the blue? "
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first. As long as I'm here, you'll be like the turtle in the pot, eating a weight, and you'll be safe."
Li Shimin suspected that Zhang Feng was scolding him again, but he still couldn't find any evidence. At this time, Zhang Feng continued, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just that the Tang Dynasty isn't strong enough!"
"Look, from the current situation around the Tang Dynasty, you can see this point. The Goguryeo in the north, the Shiwei in the east, the Japanese pirates, the Turks, and so on are all hidden dangers. Now, there's also India. But these are all small problems, and the most important thing is still that Dashi!"
"Dashi?"
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
"What does this have to do with Dashi?"
Zhang Feng stared and said with a faint smile, "It doesn't have anything to do with it, but this is only temporary. After the meridians of the Western Regions are opened, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty will spread far and wide. This Dashi, which is on par with the Tang Dynasty, will come to touch the Tang Dynasty!"
