Chapter 381 Trial(2/2)
Although Harlan's wishful thinking was so loud, he committed a taboo among military strategists. He did not know that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. If he had seen Du Le and recognized that the young man who had just contradicted him in court was Du
Le, the leader of the Han Kingdom, probably would not be so ignorant of the heaven and the earth, and would have a grudge against the Han Kingdom again.
After Du Le returned to the palace, he immediately summoned the administrator and ordered him to summon all the officials to hold a court meeting.
All Han officials have become accustomed to the fact that due to the unpredictable whereabouts of the country's leader, the Han Dynasty official court meetings are held irregularly. The handling of regular state affairs is mainly reviewed and approved by the state minister and the government orders are issued.
However, whenever there is a meeting of hundreds of officials, it almost always means that something big is about to happen in the Han Kingdom.
Therefore, none of the officials who received the summoning order dared to neglect, and they all hurried to the palace hall in various ways.
Sure enough, when all the officials gathered in the palace hall of the Han Dynasty, they received an order that shocked them.
The king of the country issued an order to declare war on the Tubo Kingdom! Suddenly, thousands of waves erupted in the main hall.
However, many officials immediately stood up to express their opposition. The reason for their opposition was simply that the Han Dynasty had just been established at this time and its foundation was unstable.
The war has just ended and the people feel at ease. If war breaks out again at this time, they may lose the people's support and be detrimental to the country, etc.
These Han officials wanted to explain to Du Le the disadvantages of war with Tubo from various aspects of population, food, and economy. Not only that, some Han generals were also worried that war with Tubo might cause clouds.
The state is unstable. The Ming Dynasty may take the opportunity to invade.
Du Le understood the concerns of the officials. The Tubo Kingdom and the southern part of the Han Kingdom were separated by snowy mountains and natural barriers. However, the north was different and might have to directly face the attack of the Tibetan army. If the Ming army took the opportunity to unite with the Tubo Kingdom,
With two fronts attacking, the crisis that Han will face will be much greater than it is now. The military power that Han will have to expend by then will be even more immeasurable.
These officials sitting firmly in the court did not know what was going on today, but Du Le knew that the Tubo Kingdom would definitely not give up this time. Instead of being in a passive defense, it was better to strike first, gain an advantage, and surrender to Tubo, which would not be enough to fear the Ming Dynasty.
Maybe he was in trouble with Tubo.
Moreover, in Du Le's view, the worries displayed by these officials were not enough to constitute a threat. The reason why the officials were worried was because they did not understand the strength of the Han State and did not understand Du Le's confidence.
In addition, Du Le wanted to establish a base in Tubo. The conquest was just a matter of time. Since there was a trigger today, this decision could not be changed. However, in order to convince the public, Du Le bypassed the plan to establish a base.
, roughly told these officials what happened today:
"Today, the third prince of Tubo officially declared war on me, and I agreed to his declaration of war. Therefore, a war between the two countries is inevitable. Instead of worrying about the adverse effects of a war, you might as well find a way to solve the annexation of Han
The administrative problems faced by the Tubo Kingdom." Du Le put down the arguments of the officials and said calmly.
"I don't need too many Han troops to go on the expedition, but I need brave men to help me capture the city. In addition, I also need some officials to be responsible for managing the new city after our Han Kingdom captures the Tubo Kingdom." Du Le continued.
said.
The leader of the country had made up his mind, and the officials of the Han Dynasty did not dare to disobey any more. They could only stop dissuading and start thinking about how to mobilize grassroots officials. The brave and capable generals were thinking about whether they could get the opportunity to go on an expedition.
Du Le thought differently. He had secretly decided that this time the expedition would be dominated by spider machines and supplemented by Han troops, to deal with the Tubo Kingdom as quickly as possible. The advice of hundreds of officials was not entirely worthwhile, and a long war was bound to be a disaster.
Disadvantages that affected the stability of the Han Dynasty.
The resolutions and details of this court meeting were quickly communicated to all parts of the Han Dynasty through officials at all levels. Of course, in the announcement, the Han Dynasty court emphasized that it was the arrogance and domineering third prince of Tubo who took the initiative to declare war on the Han Dynasty.
, this war was triggered. In order to defend the country, Han officially challenged the Tubo Kingdom.
Suddenly, people all over the Han Kingdom were gnashing their teeth at the Tubo Kingdom. The Tubo people became the target of insults by everyone in the Han Kingdom.
When the third prince of Tubo got the news, he was planning to blackmail Han and was completely stunned.
The Tibetan envoys' visit to the Han Kingdom was not intended to cause trouble. They wanted to stabilize the Han Kingdom before occupying the Gaochang Kingdom and prevent the Han Kingdom from sending troops to support the Gaochang Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the third prince of Tubo, Harlan, shot himself in the foot.rs!.
