"Does the teacher mean to declare war while Youzhou is splitting troops?"

Li Jiancheng is not stupid. With the current situation of the Tang Kingdom, he would not have the power to fight against Youzhou.

Even if the Tang Dynasty was dispatched, less than 500,000 troops were dispatched, even if Li Shimin's 500,000 troops were added, it would not work.

It is not only a problem of insufficient military strength, but more importantly, the national strength of the Tang State is very different from Youzhou, so logistics supplies cannot support the war that has been too long.

He had a great chance of using the battle to obtain the position of crown prince, but he was not sure of defeating Youzhou.

"Your Highness is only half right. Youzhou is now divided into troops, but its strength cannot be underestimated. The south is weak but the distance is too far. I mean I can take advantage of this time to expand the power of the Tang Kingdom." Xue Wanche said.

"What plan does the teacher have? Please tell me." Li Jiancheng really couldn't think of it. He has always been a long-term teacher, and he wanted to know how to do it at this time.

He is very persistent in the position of prince in Tang State. He should have been his own son and son, and he can only blame his second brother for being too greedy.

When he thinks of Li Shimin, he really hates him so much that he is tiring.

"I heard that Youzhou has recruited 300,000 new troops. These people are to prevent Youzhou from being empty after the division of troops. Even if you declare war on Youzhou now, there is no benefit to the Tang State."

"But it is precisely because Youzhou's expansion behavior has proved that the Tang State must expand its power, otherwise the Tang State will not have the power to fight when the power of Youzhou develops."

"The opportunity for Your Highness to win the position of Prince is to expand the power of Tang. It is better to occupy those small forces directly than to win over them, so that they can become part of Tang. With these military achievements, the position of Prince can be obtained."

Li Jiancheng understood that it turned out that he was just asking him to fight in all directions. It makes sense to think about Xue Wanche's idea.

"Will those forces surrender to Youzhou once the war starts? Getting support from Youzhou at that time is equivalent to going directly with Youzhou. Will the father agree?"

Xue Wanche sighed in his heart. Doesn’t the Highness in front of him understand that as long as there is enough profit, he will definitely fight for it.

"Those forces will not depend on Youzhou." Xue Wanche said affirmatively.

Youzhou has never accepted the form of dependence, unless the leaders give up their power and change careers to become businessmen, there will be no room for negotiation.

If the leaders of those forces wanted to change careers, they might have surrendered to Youzhou a few years ago, so there is no need to worry about such a thing happening.

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Li Yuan had a plan to expand his power at this time, and he could see the long term than anyone else.

The expansion of Youzhou's power has brought huge pressure on various forces. If they can occupy Lingnan so quickly, they may take their power for themselves at any time.

All forces in Youzhou are afraid of them. They can win over the Tang Dynasty as long as they send out an olive branch, but not all forces have the capital to win over.

The Tang Kingdom must take advantage of this opportunity to develop, otherwise it will still be suppressed by Youzhou in the future. At this time, the situation in the world is no longer the existence of various forces to balance the relationship.

Because the momentum of Youzhou has made them look up to it, Youzhou will likely unify the world in a few years, provided that no one intervenes.

The Tang Kingdom would not just watch this way. After all, if the Tang Kingdom is at a disadvantage, it must seize the time to expand its power and replenish its troops to occupy more areas.

Li De didn't know that because the Lingnan strategy put such great pressure on Li Yuan, the court officials of the Tang Kingdom were paying attention, and they were more helpless about Youzhou and others.

When Li Yuan held a court meeting, many ministers proposed to take advantage of the power of Wagang City. If one could gather millions of troops, it would have a huge impact on the Tang State.

"Father, my son is willing to lead troops to the Central Plains. Now, if Youzhou sends troops to Lingnan, if Youzhou develops its strength and increases greatly, it will be a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty. It is better to send troops to the Central Plains, so that the power of Youzhou cannot be together, which will inevitably cause the greatest obstacle to it."

The court officials were very supportive of Li Jiancheng's request for battle. As long as they occupy the Central Plains, they are still not afraid. Once the forces are subdued, the strength of the Tang Kingdom will be enhanced, and they will have more advantages when facing Youzhou in the future.

Li Yuan was thinking that the court officials all supported the main war, so they might not be able to make good use of this momentum.

"Okay, we will send you 200,000 troops to Central Plains."

Next, Li Yuan did not forget Li Shimin of Wagang City. What the court officials said was right. Wagang City was indispensable to strengthening the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

So Li Yuan issued an order to let Li Shimin participate in the Central Plains war. The result of this was that Li Shimin had to compare with Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan had no intention at that time, but wanted to gather the power of the Tang Kingdom to deal with this matter, but he ignored the extent to which the two cared about the position of the prince.

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed after being informed. He had just started a commercial cooperation with Youzhou not long ago. At this time, Tang State sent troops to the Central Plains. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was leaving to curb the development of Youzhou.

If you agree at this time, it will likely affect your business dealings with Youzhou. What's more, the bicycle business may be excluded. Without Youzhou's market, you will not be able to accumulate wealth quickly, and the development of Wagang City will enter a period of slow development.

What awaits him is to continue to endure it with sluggishness, which is not beneficial to Wagang.

He also knew that Li Yuan was able to make such a decision carefully, and Youzhou's development was too fast and could be said to be too powerful.

Now, taking advantage of Youzhou to divide troops to Lingnan to expand the power of Tang State, Li Shimin already knew what his father was going to do.

The Central Plains were obviously trying to separate the north and south forces of Youzhou. Once the Tang Kingdom occupied the Central Plains, it could effectively play a restrictive role, but they seemed to forget that Youzhou connected the north and south by sea.

If the seas do not occupy the Central Plains, it will only play a certain role in restraining Youzhou, but it will have a huge impact on the caravan.

Li Shimin thought that it seemed that it was impossible to do this. If Wagang could occupy the trade routes between the north and the south in the Central Plains, the benefits that Youzhou would bring to him would be too great.

Youzhou will inevitably pay the corresponding price in order to open the North-South Commercial Road. In fact, in Li Shimin's opinion, Youzhou will not compromise, but those businessmen will.

Moreover, even if Youzhou knows about the Central Plains unless they intervene, it means that Youzhou will go to war with the Tang Kingdom.

Although he had a deep conflict with Li Jiancheng, he would also stand on the side of the Tang Kingdom after the declaration of war in Youzhou. He didn't want to believe that Li De would make such a decision after the confrontation between millions of soldiers.

He knew very well that that would not be of much benefit to Youzhou. Perhaps Youzhou would win, but in the end, both sides might suffer losses.
