In the side hall of the palace.

"See the emperor!"

Merton cautiously entered it, looking at Li Shimin's dark face, Merton's heart couldn't help but burst.

"Wasn't you quite impassioned just now, why did you overuse your energy?" Li Shimin suddenly came out of anger when he saw the dodging Morton, this kid was above the entire court, and the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were almost unable to step down, and he criticized the peace policy for many years.

"Weichen knows his mistake!" Merton hurriedly confessed and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Are you wrong, how can you be wrong, you are a dignified and iron-blooded man, arrogant, how can you hide behind a woman and refuse to let a woman shed blood and tears for you! Do you think that you alone know the humiliation of harmony, not harmony, no tribute, your slogan is loud, but do you know how much blood the Tang soldiers have to shed for this slogan? Li Shimin roared.

Although the Tang Dynasty was established, but the background is still shallow, and Li Shimin personally experienced the war, naturally knows the cruelty of the war, every time the war has to be fought with the strength of the country, once it fails, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is suddenly in danger of overturning, when the Turkic iron cavalry directly hit Guanzhong, the Tang Dynasty will almost be destroyed.

Merton raised his neck and retorted: "It is precisely because of this that Datang should be in order to obtain the land of Qinghai, only when Datang has its own horse breeding land, can it not fall behind in the face of all the departments of the grassland." ”

"What about Tibet? Could it be that Datang is already struggling to deal with one, and you just want to stimulate Tubo. Li Shimin said angrily, the ink skills are strong, and it doesn't matter if Modon doesn't give the ink skills, he even verbally stimulates the Tibetan envoys.

"According to Weichen's view, compared to Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty should occupy Tubo more." Merton Road.

Li Shimin suddenly turned his head, looking at the Mo family's appearance in disbelief, he didn't expect that Mo Dun would be so manic today, ready to destroy a Tuyuhun Not to mention, even Tubo wanted to start, it was too murderous.

"You kid won't be crazy!" Li Shimin looked at Merton suspiciously, I am afraid that only in this way can it be possible to explain Merton's abnormality today.

"The Tubo Plateau, the terrain is treacherous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a natural danger. If he can be the natural danger of the Tang Dynasty, he can naturally become the natural danger of other countries, once the Tang Dynasty gets the Tubo Plateau and connects it to the eight hundred miles of Hanhai west of Tuyuhun, the entire western territory of the Tang Dynasty will have no boundless trouble.

On the contrary, we can also use the Tibetan Plateau as the commanding heights to deter Nanzhao and other countries, and the southern border troubles can also be alleviated. In this way, there is no boundless trouble in the southwest of Datang.

"No more trouble in the southwest?" Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, this will be a great temptation.

"Datang is bordered by the sea in the east, blessed by thousands of miles of sea frontiers, Datang only needs to defend the north wholeheartedly, so Weichen believes that Tubo is a place that Datang must not lose, even if His Majesty does not take it now, it will inevitably be included in the territory of Datang in the future, because the Tubo Plateau is too important, and the sooner you get it, the more Datang will benefit." Merton affirmed.

"Having said that, but Tubo has always been obedient, and my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can I be a nameless teacher and how can I conquer other countries at will." Although Li Shimin was moved, he still made a show on the surface.

Li Shimin is also a military master, naturally a little thorough, Tuyuhun grassland and Qinghai Lake salt are practical interests, and the Tubo Plateau is strategic interests, which is enough to make Li Shimin's heart moved, especially for Tubo will inevitably be included in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Merton said: "From the topography point of view, Tubo and Tuguhun are one. The two major rivers in the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, both originate from Tibet, and Tubo is surrounded by high mountains and dangerous obstacles, only the north and Qinghai are the most gentle, which is the best passage for Tubo to enter and exit. ”

Among the many highways into Tibet in later generations, only the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the shortest and the safest, from the perspective of ethnic exchanges, the Tang Dynasty is the best choice for Tibet, and it also lays the foundation for the future rule of Tibet.

And from the perspective of race, according to Chinese historical records, Tubo is a branch of the Qiang people. In essence, it is still the people of China, and Tubo is returned to the Tang Dynasty, and China is unified, which is also the right way. Merton quoted from the scriptures.

"I think so, but Tubo doesn't think so, the war is together, the outcome is unpredictable, and this matter must be cautious." Although Li Shimin was moved, he still maintained his sanity.

"Mo has a skill, which can refine a large number of refined steel, if my Tang Dynasty soldiers have a hundred refining treasure swords, and a group of famous generals such as Li Jing, plus the war horses in Qinghai, who is the opponent in the world." Merton said proudly.

Of course, Li Shimin knows the steelmaking method of the Mo family, and most of the steel in the world of Chang'an City now comes from Mojia Village.

"All the people in all parts of the grassland are soldiers, men are soldiers in wartime, and they are people in peacetime, even if they win, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, the method of suturing wounds in the Mo Hospital has been successfully developed, and I believe that the military has taken control of it, so that the wounded soldiers will be treated in time, and the number of battle-damaged personnel will be greatly reduced." Merton said again.

Li Shimin was stunned, and after careful calculation, he didn't expect that the Mo family would unknowingly make such a great contribution to the military, "You kid has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, in my opinion, you are like a vertical and horizontal faction." Li Shimin said angrily, after Merton's analysis, Li Shimin actually had the urge to kill Tubo, but Li Shimin didn't want Merton to continue to be arrogant.

"The terrain in Tubo and other places is dangerous, and there are many passes built in dangerous places, and one man should not open it, don't tell me that the Mo family also has ink skills to break it!" Li Shimin shouted.

Morton groaned, shook his head, and said, "The Mo family doesn't have it. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Morton deeply, and said: "No, you just be honest and rot today's things in your stomach, the matter of Tubo is not in a hurry for the time being, the most important thing in Datang at present is the Tuyuhun matter, only when Datang obtains the land of horse breeding, can it be invincible." ”

"Yes!" Merton hurriedly said, but what Weichen said was not selfish, but for the sake of Datang. ”

"It's best not to be selfish, otherwise your kid's small body probably won't be able to bear it." Li Shimin's eyes narrowed and threatened.

Merton secretly complained in his heart, and immediately knew that this must be because of Princess Changle's dissatisfaction with him, he originally thought that he had thrown out an amazing topic to divert Li Shimin's attention, but he didn't expect that he still didn't hide from it.

"Wechen remember!" Merton hurriedly complied.

Fortunately, Merton's words still played a certain role, and Li Shimin's mind was all attracted by the importance of Tubo thrown by Merton, and the board was raised high, but it was put down lightly.
