Chapter 977: Destination

How did Xue Yantuo fall in history?

Li Mu tried hard to recall that although he learned history well when he was in school, the knowledge about Xue Yantuo was basically only one sentence or two, and it was not the point, and his memory was not very clear.

I searched in my memory, and it was still the plot of the TV series, and the memory was more profound.

The fragment in my impression is like this, Xue Yantuo kept harassing the border, Li Shimin was so annoyed that he convened hundreds of officials to discuss, and the ministers discussed two solutions, the first plan is to gather 100,000 troops to destroy Xue Yantuo, which can ensure the stability of the border for a hundred years, and the second is to allow peace and take restraints, which is enough to ensure the peace of the border for 30 years.

One is a hundred years, the other is thirty years, it is said that it is a good choice, but in the end the second set of plans was chosen, and the civil officials headed by Fang Xuanling all supported the second set of plans. Because if the first plan is adopted, too much money and food will be consumed, too much loss will be great, and the people will be wasted. And the second plan is just to pay a princess.

It happened that when the general Qibi He Li was returning to his tribe to visit his mother, he was detained by Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan knew his courage and wanted to persuade him to join Xue Yantuo, but Qibi He Li refused with words, and even cut off his left ear. After Li Shimin found out, he was moved and worried about his safety, and finally chose to agree to make peace, promising Yi Nan to marry the new princess to him after he was released.

After He Li was released, he felt deeply humiliated by being captured, and strongly advised Li Shimin not to agree to make peace. Li Shimin was unwilling to be untrustworthy, but he couldn't stand the persuasion again and again, and he said that if the princess married Yi Nan, Yi Nan's position as Khan would have greater legitimacy in Eile, and it would be more difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control Xue Yantuo. Li Shimin was moved, and he was also thinking about giving up his family, but he was afraid that his teacher would be unknown, so he thought of a way, he asked Yi Nan to go to Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty to marry the emerging princess, if Yi Nan didn't dare to come, so he would have a reason to refuse. But he obviously underestimated Yi Nan and his relatives' determination, and he agreed without saying a word.

This plan failed, Li Shimin thought of another plan, he asked for 100,000 livestock as a dowry, and collected 100,000 livestock in a short time, even if it was Xue Yantuo, it was an impossible task, and when it caught up with the cold and the ground was freezing, most of the livestock died on the road, and it could not be completed. Because of the dowry, the harmony was finally revoked.

Later, Yi Nan died of illness, and Li Shimin sent people to make his two sons khans, successfully dividing Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo was finally defeated.

……

If the trajectory of history goes according to the past, this is also a good outcome. But since he came to this era, Li Mu thought about whether he could change, at least in this matter, Li Shimin's actions were a little sorry for the words 'Tian Khan'.

Li Mu wants to maintain Li Shimin's reputation, but it is not hypocritical, it is completely sincere. Even if he knew that Li Shimin was jealous of him, he was equally grateful to Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's grace and grace allowed him to continue to do some things for the people of this era, and if he was replaced by other emperors, he would have died countless times by now.

Li Mu has never thought of rebelling. Because he always feels that he is a person outside this era, for example, the world is Li Shimin's, if there is no himself, the wheel of history will still roll according to the original tricks, and people outside his own era, why should he 'rob' other people's things? What is the ripple effect of changing history? It was all unforeseeable, and he wasn't curious about what it was like.

Lucky to come to this era, he just wants to do more for the people of this era. And Li Shimin is the person who really dominates this era, and the role he can play is to assist him as much as possible.

Li Mu thought for a while, and wrote a note.

“…… Today, Xue Yantuo's troubles have a shallow view. Although Xue Yantuo's momentum is great, his hearts are not aligned. The hearts of the people are not aligned, and so are the rabble. We should adopt a divisive strategy, on the one hand, to stir up the resentment of the people, and on the other hand, to canonize the nine surnamed Tiele, so that they can fight against the court......"

Thousands of words were sprinkled, and after writing, he ordered Pegasus to send them to Chang'an. This is a formal decree, not a private dove-by-bird message. Li Mu chose to do this because he wanted the officials of the court to see his remarks, because he was not sure whether his method would work, or whether it would be safe to check and fill in the gaps after the discussion of the court. If your suggestion is rejected, that's okay, at least it provides an idea. Anyway, no matter what method is used, Xue Yantuo does not have the ability to shake the Tang Dynasty, but the length of time, whether it is decent or not, the result is the same.

After reading Xue Yantuo, Li Mu's gaze continued clockwise, in the northeast of the later generations, it was still a 'barren land' at this time, it was said to be a barren land, but it was not uninhabited. Khitan, Murowei, and Ya, many small tribes and ethnic groups live in this place. Because of the climate, these tribes have no way to grow, and they have to be enslaved and oppressed by neighboring countries, such as Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, etc., and their living conditions are very unoptimistic.

Of course, they are not a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and because of their weak strength, they are not even qualified to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. But Li Mu attaches great importance to these nationalities, in addition to having Li Chongyi's relationship, he knows the glory of these nationalities after the Tang Dynasty.

Khitan and Jin peoples, these ethnic groups, are the ancestors of Liao and Jin in later generations. They only limit the development of the tribe because of the place where they live, but in fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are not weaker than any nomadic people at all.

Li Mu stared at the area for a long time, and finally picked up the pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.

He uses English, which has not yet been born in this era, so he doesn't know anyone, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone being able to understand it.

Further east, there are Goguryeo and Baekje. As a thorn in Li Shimin's side, I am afraid that many strategies for it have been formulated a long time ago, and Li Mu feels that he can't waste any more brain cells.

That's basically the case with the surrounding countries. Li Mu set his eyes on the vast sea, and the news came back from the Wa Kingdom that the eldest brother of the mountain, with the help of Yixiu and Li Chongyi, had taken two of the four islands of Japan, and they were on an equal footing with the Suga clan, which was basically a confrontation situation, and no one could help anyone. Of course, if Li Mu wanted to take the Wa Kingdom, it would be very easy, Hou Junji's 20,000 troops were here, as long as 5,000 people were transported by ship, the balance would be broken.

You must know that Hou Junji's subordinates are the most elite 20,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. With the best configuration of the Tang army, they are facing the short warriors of the Wa Kingdom who lack copper and iron, basically have no metal armor, and the forging technology has not yet developed, and 5,000 people have landed in the Wa Kingdom, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are invincible, unless they are ambushed, there is no possibility of losing. But Li Mu didn't want to do this, what good would it do him to take the Wa Kingdom? It is impossible for him to live there, so he should maintain the current situation, so that the eldest brother king of Shanbei will always need him, so that he can continue to squeeze the resources of the Wa Kingdom. Otherwise, once the Japanese country is 'unified' again, it is difficult to guarantee that this group of ungrateful Japanese people will not have any other thoughts.

Further down, the corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly.

The largest island in China in later generations, there are hardly many people on it now. Most of the time, it is used as a port of call between Guangzhou and Yangzhou, to replenish fresh water, or to shelter from wind and waves. The ground froze, and most of the livestock died on the road, and it was impossible to finish. Because of the dowry, the harmony was finally revoked.

Later, Yi Nan died of illness, and Li Shimin sent people to make his two sons khans, successfully dividing Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo was finally defeated.
