In Chang'an City, Li Shimin was pacing in the courtyard alone, and now only plum blossoms are left in full bloom in the winter snow, proudly blooming, which makes Li Shimin feel very gratified.

For him, isn't he in the middle of a harsh winter now? Every step you take must be considered, and the footsteps you step on will leave a mark in the snow. Every word and deed may affect the national situation, and Datang may become rich and strong because of itself, or it may decline because of itself. The Sui Dynasty's way of facing the Hu people is still very direct, Li Shimin always believes that the Sui Dynasty is not useless, at that time his father Li Yuan was seized by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to build a large number of buildings, the treasury was empty, and the people were widely requisitioned to make the people miserable, the most important thing is not these superficial factors, the core is to make the spring ploughing and autumn harvest farmers can not complete the task on time, agriculture is the foundation of the country, no food, let alone any strong army. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin took a fancy to this opportunity and changed the master of the world.

Therefore, Li Shimin will pick an auspicious day and go to the field to farm with the peasants, showing that the country attaches importance to agriculture and must develop agriculture, and it is also a confidence to the people of the world that peace is just around the corner.

Internal affairs are the strength that grows on oneself, and external relations are more headaches for Li Shimin, especially how to deal with the relationship with the Hu people, which is the top priority of Li Shimin's national diplomacy after he ascended the throne.

But how beneficial it is for Datang, it is a disadvantage for Hu Ren, there is only one in the world, and it is a game of life and death. The people of the tribe are still disgusted with the Tang Dynasty, and always think that conquest is the only way, and this problem has to be traced back to the current political background.

The Han people and the Turks have been at war for a long time, although the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty have formed the so-called "Weishui Alliance", but it is always just that Tang Taizong has a little courage, and he killed a white horse and made the Turkic army retreat.

Although Jieli Khan himself was satisfied, the brothers of the tribes below were not so happy, Xue Yantuo, Hui Dubo, Gu Ligan and other fifteen tribes each had a ghost, coinciding with the Western Turkic Hosana Khan's power gradually becoming stronger, and the tribes elected Xue Yantuo's Yishi bowl as Xiao Ke. Thanks to Zhao Deyan's forcible promotion of Han customs and government decrees, the Jieli Khan was politically chaotic from top to bottom, not only Xue Yantuo, but also the Hui and Bayegu tribes rebelled one after another, drawing swords against each other.

Jieli Khan is very anxious now, and the brothers below are not convinced by themselves, and even the flag has to be changed, what should I do? Nomads don't rely on diplomacy to consolidate their power, they can attack, and they don't need to talk about it, so the matter is very simple and rude. Therefore, the Eastern Turk Jieli Khan chose a circle among his own people, thinking about it, his brother's son seems to be very talented in military affairs, and his name is also very good, called Desire Valley, leading a full 100,000 cavalry to return to the army in a battle, it is not important to destroy them, the important thing is to kill chickens and monkeys, so that people from other tribes can see their supreme strength.

But as the so-called beginning of the story was written, I didn't guess the end of the story. The name of the leader of the Hui on the opposite side is also very popular, and he is directly called the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva only brought 5,000 cavalry to teach the Valley of Desire to be a man. It was indeed the Eastern Turks who were defeated and returned to the enemy, and most of the 100,000 cavalry they brought fell into the hands of the enemy, and they made wedding dresses.

Xue Yantuo was moved when he heard the wind, and knew that the big brother in the past was no longer good, and the Hu people had any courtesy, righteousness and shame, which were all the moral concepts of the Han people since ancient times, including Confucianism. Hu Ren knows one thing very well, in this world is nothing more than the law of the jungle, I will follow you when you can, and I can't let go of the nutrition on your body if you can't do it. At this critical time, Xue Yantuo chose to follow his heart, listen to his call of duty, and then also began to attack Jieli Khan.

Li Shimin is so heroic that he naturally understands the situation, and now many ministers have suggested that Datang is bound to attack and get a piece of the pie, which can give the future a good opportunity to sweep away the surrounding powers. However, the eldest grandson Wuji said that the biggest worry in Li Shimin's heart is the posture of a great country.

In the short term, it is true that sending troops can take some advantage, but tribes such as Hui and Xue Yantuo also have eyes, and they can see that my Tang Dynasty is also a country that does not believe in words, and the Han people are barbaric and untrustworthy and no different from the Hu people, so how can they establish faith in foreign countries? If Datang suffers another national disaster, is there still good luck like the "Weishui Alliance"?

Because of this, Li Shimin still gave up the idea of attacking at this time, but just holding his troops does not mean that he will not crusade in the future, it is nothing more than finding a suitable time and reason to win with one more blow. At present, when Jieli Khan is in danger, it is natural to listen to the advice of the eldest grandson Wuji and send an envoy to the past, firstly, to make clear his position, and secondly, to probe the truth.

Li Shimin looked back at the people in the palace who were busy, and what was piled up on the desk was advice from all directions. I was still worried about whether Tang Jian would be able to bring back any news this time, after all, the Eastern Turks were a place of right and wrong, and only experienced and wise and brave people could overcome it.

The leader of the Hu people naturally couldn't trust Tang Jian and the others, and he couldn't understand Tang Jian's nonsense. In fact, where does he care about this person's origin, anyway, what kind of name does he want for robbery, right?

Hu Leader: "Don't talk nonsense, how many do you have?" ”

After saying that, the two fingers rubbed together, which was to signal that Tang Jian wanted to see people cook, if people wanted to leave, they had to leave some money to buy their lives, Tang Jian was very knowledgeable, after all, this time, the envoy was the most important thing, but the things that the Tang Dynasty gave to Jieli Khan could not be damaged, and the others were fine.

Tang Jian: "We brought some property from Datang, which is considered some hard work for you." ”

Ash muttered, "What's the hard work...... Hard-working robbery of our fees? ”

Yanshan patted Ash and told him to shut up quickly.

The leader of the Hu people waved his hand, and the people below hurriedly presented some treasures from the transported goods, such as some rare gold, silk, silk cloth and other items. The Hu people don't think much about silk, flashy things, and can't come to war, just use orchids as dance dresses or babies as diapers, and the most important thing is gold, which is very exquisite on knives, and can show off their might.

Luo Gan is keenly aware that once his value is used up, the Hu people will not share the sky with the Han people, unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and take the treasure to leave it behind, it will be more than worth the loss.

Tang Jian: "Dare to ask what tribe Your Excellency belongs to?" ”

The leader of the Hu people: "Hmph, don't ask us where we come from!" You don't deserve to know. ”

Tang Jian: "That's my mouth, these treasures are to be given to Jieli Khan." ”

Hu Ren slapped his thigh and made a muffled sound.

"That stupid thing! He doesn't deserve it. ”

This sentence clearly indicated the position of the leader of the Hu people, and Tang Jian had a countermeasure in an instant.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are for the friendship between the two countries, but we have mountains of gold and silver behind us, don't you want to get it?"
