Qin Meng concluded that Yang Yong's ideas must have been communicated with Li Gang first.
Moreover, this idea will not only be the consensus of the East Palace, but also the mainstream view of the entire Great Sui Dynasty.
If Qin Meng didn't know the history, he must have the same idea.
What's the situation in Da Sui now? Although the national strength is not at its peak, the military strength is super powerful, and it scares the Turks. Surrendering to Jiangnan was the time when he was full of self-confidence or even bursting.
In this case, Goguryeo, a barbarian state, provokes Da Sui. Without even thinking about it, it must have hit him!
Goguryeo is not as powerful as the Turks. How do you look at it, Da Sui sent troops to sweep Goguryeo, it is something that is within easy reach, and it seems that this battle will not be fought. I'm a little sorry for Da Sui's name.
Li Gang saw that Qin Meng's expression was wrong, gave Yang Yong a wink, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Qin Shaofu, do you have different opinions?"
Yang Yong knew that Li Gang had no words to let him listen to different opinions.
Qin Meng groaned: "The biggest problem with Goguryeo's barbarians is that it is far and far away, and after countless generations of accumulation and precipitation, its strategy is extremely deep and extremely desolate. One thing is certain when I conquered Goguryeo in the Great Sui Dynasty, that is, The war will win. In this way, the barbarian will retreat to deep and dangerous places, clear the wild and strong walls, and wait for work. If our army is eager to get down to the barbarian fortress and the military supply route is too long, problems will inevitably arise. . Fear. Fear... Backfire."
Yang Yong and Li Gang glanced at each other, but did not expect that Qin Meng would have extremely disagreements with them.
You know, Yang Yong and Li Gang didn't come up with this idea after a little discussion. There were also many military officials in the East Palace, who combined their opinions from various aspects to form a strategy of sending troops to crusade.
And Qin Meng directly poured a basin of cold water down.
Li Gang hesitated and asked: "Qin Shaofu, Goguryeo. His Royal Highness has transferred it to Yulan. At present, the court has not yet reached a conclusion as to whether or not to conquer Goguryeo. The result of the Donggong discussion is that it is decided to conquer. The Donggong Army has the deepest qualifications and is also the person who is most familiar with military use. As expected, it is naturally beyond other subjects. Qin Shaofu said, is it... not to fight?"
Qin Meng smiled bitterly: "It is estimated that there are hundreds of officials from the sage. There are few people who say nothing. The so-called court discussion is just a formality. Fighting must be the mainstream voice. Isn't it the same consensus among the colleagues in the East Palace?"
Yang Yong frowned and said: "Qin Shaofu, the use of soldiers is a major matter of the country. It is normal to have different opinions and voices. If there are worries and hidden worries, you can know that you are all right. After all, listening at the same time is clear."
Qin Meng thought about it and said: "His Royal Highness has not yet expressed his attitude to the Holy One. However, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State must show a clear attitude on such a major state matter. The Minister suggested that Your Highness can make suggestions, but he cannot mobilize heavy troops. Fight with the goal of destroying the country."
Yang Yong and Li Gang glanced at each other, all seeing surprise in the other's eyes.
Li Gang said, "Why did Qin Shaofu say this? Goguryeo is located far away. The Great Sui army finally assembled once, and did not aim for destruction. If there are remnants of it, it will definitely be troubled again in the future. Could it be that they will have to assemble heavy troops again? Qing Suppression? Qin Shaofu is an old man in the army. You know how difficult it is for the country to assemble a heavy army."
Qin Meng sighed and said, "It has always been a taboo for military strategists to attack far away. What's more, the Goguryeo barbarians are not the same as Turks. Although the Turks are far away, the strong ones can ride and fight. The Sui can only defeat them by riding, and then Turks. It must be broken. Goguryeo has a dangerous fortress, and the Great Sui army will attack by force. If it is difficult, it will be frustrated. After a long time, the army will have no intention to fight."
Li Gang looked at Yang Yong and found that although the prince did not refute Qin Meng, the disapproval expression in his eyes was already revealed.
"So what should Qin Shaofu mean?" Li Gang asked Qin Meng quickly, hoping that he could finish his opinion.
"Use troops. It must be used. However, it is sufficient not to carry out effective punishments and lessons for the purpose of destroying the country. Then, clear the frontiers and blockade Goguryeo for ten or twenty years. The property is weak and it is not compatible. The exchange between the Central Plains is definitely miserable, and it will be chaotic within itself. At that time, if the division draws its heart toward the Great Sui, then the troubles of Goguryeo will be resolved. At the beginning, the Sage also achieved unimaginable results by dividing the interior of the Turks. ?"
"This... This palace will carefully consider Qin Shaofu's suggestions, and then play the report to the sage." Yang Yong is not as deep as Yang Guang. Although he can hide his thoughts, he will give a glance in the eyes of discerning people. You can see through Yang Yong's true thoughts.
Qin Meng knew that Yang Yong didn't actually take his opinion seriously.
In fact, this is not Yang Yong's own problem, but the general mentality of a great power in the ups and downs of the Sui Dynasty at that time.
The fierce Turks and the vast south of the Yangtze River have all been under the feet of the Great Sui, Goguryeo, what is it? (End of this chapter)
