Chapter 380 Stratagem (2)
Dugu Huaien, who was resentful, left Chang'an depressed.
took Li Yuan's impromptu instructions as a deaf ear.
In fact, Li Yuan had high hopes for Dugu Huaien's trip.
led the Turks south and attacked Daizhou, so even if he was subordinate to the Turks, Li Yuan also admitted it.
Because of Li Po, who captured Jinyang, in Li Yuan's opinion, the threat increased greatly.
Without the Jinyang barrier, there is also the possibility of the Daizhou army going south to drive directly to the hinterland of Chang'an.
Xiao Mo was attacking Kuizhou, and Xue Ju was holding the Tang army in Gaoshu.
If there was another Li Po raiding the land at this time, Li Yuan felt that his scalp was numb, and this time, he did not spare Li Yuanji.
Only one title of King of Qi was left for Li Yuanji, and everything else was taken clean, so that he could think about it behind closed doors in the Chang'an Mansion.
If it weren't for the fear that this son would cause trouble to others again, he would hate to send him to the front of the battle, and if he couldn't get the experience, he would just give it to others and cut it down.
Therefore, on the one hand, he was preparing to send troops to recapture Jinyang, and on the other hand, he sent Dugu Huaien to envoy the Turks to prepare for an alliance with the Turks.
Li Yuan has not used this kind of scheming method once or twice.
For example, if he holds on to Xue Ju, he will marry Li Rail behind Xue Ju.
and Liang Shi didn't deal with it, so he recruited Guo Zihe behind Liang Shidu.
Xiao Mo was attacking Kuizhou, and he sent people to recruit Zhu Cang and Du Fuwei who surrendered Lianghuai.
This is not some conspiracy, the so-called military invasion of the country, this kind of diplomatic victory is the strategic vision that an emperor should have.
Now that Li Po has risen in Daizhou, Ke Jinyang, and given Li Tang a knife, Li Yuan's first thought was not to send troops to fight Li Po, but to think of the Turks.
Therefore, Li Yuan did not adopt the strategy proposed by Li Shimin to let the Daizhou army go south, let it disperse, and slow down its front.
Instead, he adopted Li Jiancheng's proposal, taking advantage of Li Po's unstable foothold in Jinyang, attacking him in the north, and at the same time befriending the Turks, so that they could not take into account the enemy's back.
In fact, it is impossible to talk about which strategy is better.
What Li Shimin saw was the weakness of the Daizhou army, the strength was insufficient, the food and grass were insufficient, and it would not be able to fight the big with a small fight, and it would not be able to fight for a long time.
What Li Jiancheng saw was the importance of Jinyang, if Jinyang was lost, if it could not be recaptured as soon as possible, then Jindi would be chaotic and no longer owned by his own family.
Yes, in this kind of strategic vision, although I can't see the advantages and disadvantages of the two, it even looks like Li Shimin is slightly inferior.
But the difference in the personalities of the two has been shown in a rough way.
Li Shimin was even more bold and unscrupulous in order to defeat the enemy.
Li Jiancheng, on the other hand, is conservative and has the heart to fight for every inch of land.
In fact, if these two people meet on the battlefield, there is almost no need to think about it, it must be Li Jiancheng who will be the one who will be the disadvantage.
No matter how big the difference between these two is, anyway, this mission to the Turks is not a joke, and it is almost tied to the fate of Jindi.
The reason why I chose Dugu Huaien is to see Dugu Huaien's family background.
He and Princess Yicheng are cousins, the Qimin Khan of the Ashina clan, and also received the heavy favor of the Dugu clan, when the Qimin Khan was able to return to the Turks to seize the Khan throne, the Dugu clan did not make a small contribution.
And Dugu Huai'en still has a heavy task, because he still has to convince the Turks, and he also has to cut off Xue Ju's contacts with the Turks.
Dugu Huaien and the others traveled all the way north, bypassing Liang Shidu's sphere of influence in shock, and only then entered Yulin under Guo Zihe's response.
Then cross the Yellow River and come to the city of Dali.
Fortunately, the Turkic Tooth Tent moved south, otherwise, when they went to the Turkic Tooth Tent, they would not know that it was the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Horse.
Of course, such a heavy task cannot be handed over to Dugu Huaien, and he was accompanied by Chen Shuda, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.
This person is a descendant of Nan Chen, Sui destroyed Nan Chen, and Chen Shuda returned to Sui.
Li Yuan raised troops to the south, Chen Shuda was the general guard of Jiangjun at that time, dedicated the city to Li, was the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was relied on by Li Yuan as a confidant, and Li Yuan was called the emperor, and awarded him the prince of Handong County and the squire of the Yellow Gate.
He and Dugu Huaien are about the same age, and their family backgrounds are actually similar, after all, their ancestors were emperors.
And this person was born in Jiangnan, he is well-versed in literature, he is eloquent, and he does not let Dugu Huaien in his appearance, the most important thing is that he has real talent and real learning, and he has served as a prominent official, and his reputation is very good.
During the great cause of the Inner History of the people, because of the collapse of the Empress Chen, the Sui Emperor Yang Guangzhi was Yang, so evil, so that the Chen clan was greatly indignant, Chen Shuda wrote a letter to defend, so he was to blame, and he was released to Jiangjun to guard.
More than ten years later, he can be regarded as avenging with one arrow.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui hanged Jiangdu, and then Li Yuan called himself emperor, counting Yang Guang's mistakes, pondering again and again on the name, it was Chen Shuda who proposed, and everyone knew that this was obviously Chen's personal vendetta, but they all felt justified.
As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui's evil words were also put on Yang Guang's head.
This ironic cycle of cause and effect is also a unique and strange thing in history.
And this time the Turkic envoy was headed by the two of them.
At this time, Shibi Khan died of illness and had not yet mourned, but the small alliance was in preparation, and the chaos in Dali City was really indescribable.
The two of them are not headless flies, because at the beginning, Li Shimin led people north to the Turks, and once intersected with the son of Shibi Khan, Ashinash Bowl Core, and became brothers.
The two of them carried Li Shimin's letter on them, and they directly asked to visit Ashinash Bowl Core.
What is even more gratifying is that Ashnashi is one of the strong contenders for the position of Turkic Khan.
The alliance meeting is imminent, and Ashinash Bowl Core is also running, and he has no intention of entertaining these distant visitors, but he heard that the two of them are coming.
Ashinash was overjoyed, not to mention anything else, only that the cunning enemy, who was getting stronger and stronger, if he could propose a way to kill the guy whose hands were stained with the blood of the steppe warriors at the alliance meeting, and without the nobles spending too much effort, he thought he would get the support of the nobles.
As a result, Dugu Huaien and Chen Shuda also became the guests of Ashinash's bowl core.
For the Dugu clan and the Chen clan, this Turkic prince really didn't care, when he met Li Shimin in the slave market, he had a serious fight.
In fact, in his opinion, the only obstacle to his succession to the throne of the Khan is his age, he is too young, it is one thing to not have enough qualifications, and it is also inconvenient to make friends with nobles.
Of course, the most important point is that these things need to be accumulated over the years, and it takes time to manage them painstakingly.
This is the reason why he can't compete with his two uncles.
But now, the opportunity has come, Ashina has become a toothless tiger, and Ashina Eliver has been knocked out of the bone, so who else can compete with him for the throne?
Ashina Tyra? Hmph, that wild seed is as lowly as his mother, if he is made the master of the Turks, it will be a big joke, and the gods will not let such a thing happen.
He warmly entertained the two envoys of the Tang Kingdom, and told them about the current situation in the Turkic royal court, so that they should not act rashly at this time.
In fact, he doesn't like the arrogant Dugu Huai'en very much, but he is full of affection for Chen Shuda, because this Han man, who knows at a glance that he is not a warrior, always speaks so beautifully and philosophically.
He secretly made up his mind that if he ascended to the throne, he would keep this man by his side, for he seemed to him a man full of wisdom who could guide him in the direction of his journey at some important moments.
………………………………
The Guild has arrived in the cold wind.
One by one, the richly dressed nobles walked out of the palace gate with a serious face, and rushed to the sweat tent, that is, the palace in the city of Dali, surrounded by the guards and servants.
This time, there will be no more hunting, no more bonfires, no more barbecue of prey, no more singing and dancing, it will decide who the Turkic khans will choose.
Every nobleman was nervous, because many years had passed, and there had never been such an alliance, and the succession to the Turkic khanate had never been decided by the alliance, whether it was a large alliance or a small alliance, there was no power to decide the ownership of the khan.
It was customary to announce the choice of the khan at the council.
The leader of the brave and strong ions, Shi Polo.
The majestic and powerful figure of the royal court, Da Luobian.
The Goridan officer with wisdom in his head.
Suni with a fierce aura.
And so on, the best of the Ashina descendants rushed to the place of the alliance, ready to exercise their power and fight for power and interests for themselves or their families.
The guild was held in one of the most spacious rooms, and the royal court remembers the nobles' credentials, guided the visitors, and sent them into the palace.
Every nobleman walked by, and their names would be sounded at the door of the hall, so that everyone in the hall would know who had come to the main hall again, which brought a very solemn feeling to this alliance.
I don't know how much time passed, but the people at the gate of the temple shouted, "The noble Jieli Khan, the lion among the descendants of Ashina, Lord Ashina has arrived." ”
The nobles stopped whispering at once, and regardless of what they thought of Ashina, they all got up and saluted the honorable man.
Ashina strode into the hall, like a real king, looking around to the left and right, and walked to the middle position without saying a word.
The nobles in the hall all looked at him stunned, but no one dared to stop him.
Thankfully, nothing happened that was enough to shed blood, and the lion-like man, quietly, and carefully looked at the throne in the middle, turned and walked to the most honorable right place under the throne.
This kind of action, which was equivalent to a declaration of contention, made all the Turkic nobles in the palace feel frightened, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavier, and they all seemed to feel the breath of the coming storm.
I don't know how much blood will be shed by the descendants of Ashina this time.
