Chapter 997 Meeting to discuss
"Wuji, what do you think about this?" Li Shimin asked.
Changsun Wuji kept thinking after hearing the news. His real idea was that he did not want Wagang to participate in this battle.
You know, it cost 2 million not long ago, but now the bicycle factory has just started to build the cost, but it has been invested. If Youzhou turns against each other, they will lose all their money.
Besides, when Wagang joined the Central Plains war, he offended Youzhou first, and secondly, various forces. It is unknown how much results can be achieved even if the troops they can mobilize now can be achieved even if they cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom.
The most important thing is that fighting is money, and the troops consumed are all that they are in short supply now, otherwise they would not have invested 2 million chunks to open a workshop. Isn’t the purpose of giving Wagang a way to accumulate wealth?
But he also knew that they could not escape the affairs of Tang State, so it was really difficult for him to make a choice.
"The business in Wagang City has just begun. If you enter the conquest now, it may affect your highness's foundation." Changsun Wuji said.
Changsun Wuji would not tell lies to Li Shimin in terms of interests, and it would be huge if there was any loss.
Besides, the Tang Kingdom sent Li Jiancheng. Can the two sides really cooperate together? The thing that is most afraid of is to let Tang Kingdom fall into the quagmire of war. That will not only not have any development but will restrict it.
Can Li Shimin not know, but for them, they know what Wagang City needs, and is it really so easy for the forces in the Central Plains to occupy it?
"This time Li Jiancheng will bring 200,000 troops. Since we cannot avoid it, we must take the initiative as for Youzhou matters and work hard to find out the slogan first."
Li Shimin has an understanding of Li De. This situation of expansion of power may affect the situation, but it does not seem to affect it from the perspective of business cooperation.
At least Li Shimin believed in Li De's credibility, and the bicycle equipment he invested should not be owed. His trump card is definitely not Li De's credibility, but his sister Li Xiuning.
After all, with this kind of family affection, I believe there is still room for ease as long as I speak at critical moments.
Li Shimin didn't want to participate in the war, at least he didn't want to participate now. Wagang City has just begun to develop well, and if it can develop well within a few years, he will definitely rise.
While Li Shimin was watching, Li Jiancheng had already set off with 200,000 troops, and no force was left wherever he passed.
Li Jiancheng's strong expansion attracted the attention of various forces.
"Has Tang State started to take action? If it could integrate all the scattered forces and deal with them, it would be more convenient, and it would be a pity for the people."
"From now on the notice, the Youzhou forces can accept the people of the Central Plains."
Li De's idea was very simple. All the displaced people caused by the war were absorbed into the Youzhou forces. As long as they could increase the number of foreigners when the Tang Kingdom took action, they would make money in this battle.
What is the purpose of expanding the power? It is not just to grab people and territory. What can you do if you occupy such a large place? In the final analysis, people still need to be there.
The new urban area of Youzhou still needs many farmers, and they will take the opportunity to recruit more people and their grain production will double in the future.
When Li Jiancheng led his troops to attack the territory, Li De was also planning to get benefits from it.
There is no reason why Tang State can develop to this day. Including Li Shimin's troops and horses gathering up a million troops is also a powerful enemy for Youzhou.
But the difference is that Youzhou has sufficient supplies. If he wants to destroy the Tang Kingdom and take action against the Central Plains, he can directly declare war.
Li De still wants to hear the opinions of the think tank for such a big thing.
So in the meeting hall of the Youzhou City Shoufu, Li De brought his father, Gong Pei, Wang Kuangshan and others to discuss the matter.
The Central Plains is very important to Youzhou. Tang State made up his mind to take action at this time. How to deal with it? Whether to fight or drag or use other methods needs to be discussed.
The chief lieutenant was not present at this meeting, because they were all sent to Lingnan, so the people who appeared were very important leaders of the think tank and the city guard office.
When fighting, it is not enough to have troops, horses, food and wages. This is possible for bandits and bandits, and they cannot easily make judgments about war.
Every decision has great significance and effect, and it will affect many things.
"The Central Plains forces seem to be scattered, but we cannot underestimate the power of the anti-king. Although the Tang State has sent troops, under the current situation, the powerful forces will never choose to go directly to war, so that we can also offer corresponding conditions when the Tang State has issued conditions."
Li De's father spoke very directly. His idea was to win over those forces, but it was still very attractive according to Youzhou's inclusion process.
"Mr. Li's idea is inappropriate. Those who are determined to occupy one side are those who have any interests to talk to them. It is better to just mobilize the vanguard troops to take action first," Pei Gongdao.
Li De is still optimistic about Mr. Pei’s statement.
The King of Kuangshan has been listening, and many people have already expressed their opinions.
"Have you ever thought that once Youzhou joins the war, it will have to confront the Tang State. Those forces may have a great chance of directly turning to the Tang State."
Everyone understands the meaning of the King of Builders, especially those who are against the King of Bullshi, and Youzhou will not accept the support of the forces carrying private soldiers, so they are destined to have no possibility of a peaceful solution.
The most important thing is that as King Kuangshan said, if the war in Youzhou begins, their enemies will no longer be the forces in the Central Plains but will face the Tang Kingdom.
Once a war begins, it is very likely to develop directly into a battle for the world.
"Li De, are you ready? Is it best for Youzhou?" asked the King of Kuangshan.
Li De had to think deeply. As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and porcelain does not touch clay pots, Youzhou is porcelain.
Fundamentally speaking, what benefits does the war in the Central Plains have for Youzhou and how much benefits can it have after occupation are the key.
Similarly, once the war starts, the Youzhou business will suffer a lot of losses, and what is lost is people, money and accumulation.
Is Li De confident of defeating his opponent? He can directly answer that he has all kinds of new weapons in the Blacksmith Workshop. The same war consumes much greater investment in Youzhou than the various forces in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.
Those new weapons are really a money-burning model every minute.
"Youzhou will not give up on the Central Plains, but the timing is wrong. Even so, it is impossible to get a good Tang Kingdom to get a little bit of a bargain."
Li De's attitude was very clear. People were thinking about how to tolerate it if they blocked the trade routes between the north and the south.
