Chapter 190: Raising Troops

The people in Chang'an City didn't seem to expect constant foreign commotion, but they also expected their own internal consumption. Since Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, there has been an endless stream of people sent to the Turks, including ambassadors to negotiate peace, spies who caused riots, and finally merchants who raised the price of daily necessities, in order to disturb the existing national conditions of the Turks, reshape their state, and wait for an opportunity to break them in one fell swoop.

On the side of Li Shimin's bed are all kinds of deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as well as "Historical Records", which are all books that he must read before going to bed. Obviously, in Li Shimin's view, looking at the history of China, in order to achieve the "great unification" that has been achieved, it is necessary to consolidate the national strength and sweep away the Liuhe and the Yi people, and the military strength must be strong to a certain extent before it can compete with the Yi people.

Although he also has Xianbei blood in his body, Li Shimin sighed at this, and his attitude towards the Yi people did not dare to be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or other emperors, he did not hesitate to attack when he said that he wanted to do things. Li Shimin will also think that if he can reach harmony with the Yi people in the border in a way that recruits peace, everyone will maintain a peaceful attitude and develop together. To this end, he also privately summoned some ministers to discuss whether this approach was feasible.

Li Shimin: "As the widow just said, do you have any ideas?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended that his ears were not very good, and when he got closer, he heard it: "What the saint said is to reach peace with the frontier and develop together in the future?" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then carefully observed the minister's reaction, which was not much different from what he imagined, and the ministers exchanged heads and looked at each other.

Du Ruhui: "Never! Talking about peace with the Yi people is simply a wolf's mouth! The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Fang Xuanling stepped forward to advise: "The minister has the same concern, the Yi people in the frontier have been the main scourge of invading China for many years, let's talk about cooperation with him?" It's just a fight for food with a tiger, think about the fate of the Jin Dynasty! It is not feasible to bring foreigners to settle the civil strife! Now that Datang has gradually moved towards reunification, we must not think of talking about peace with them! ”

Tang Jian heard that the civil official and his ideas had reached an agreement, so he stepped forward and added fuel and vinegar.

Li Shimin: "Tang Aiqing is also this kind of high opinion? ”

Tang Jian: "The ministers are open-minded, if there is an idea in the saint, our courtiers will naturally support it." But I still have to say what I think, since we formed the Weishui Alliance, it is true that the Turks have withdrawn their troops, but the last time the minister sent an envoy to the Turks, he found that the Turks did not sincerely want to make friends with our Datang. In fact, it is not unreasonable to think about it, the Eastern Turks are now in civil strife, and it is the Western Turks that can pose a threat. Even if we formed an alliance, we still wanted to consolidate the alliance with the Yi clan through marriage last year, but as a result, there was a vicious struggle between them, resulting in our princess not being sent out, what does the Holy Lord think about this matter? ”

Li Shimin pondered, and what he was worried about was indeed what Tang Jian said, and the Turks themselves couldn't figure out their own affairs, so it was not reliable to do anything to them.

Li Shimin: "From the point of view of the widow, the Turks are consumed internally, and the two families are losing their strengths, is this the time for us to get married?" ”

Tang Jian: "Actually, otherwise, if we are both pleasing on both sides, we are not pleasing on both sides." What should we do when any side asks us for help? Either side will offend the other, and if you help the weak, the strong will think that our alliance is unreliable; If you help the strong and annex the weak, you will give the impression that you are bullying the weak and betraying the alliance, and even sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight will leave a bad reputation for treachery, and you will eventually come to attack our Datang. ”

The worries of the ministers were basically taken into account by Tang Jian, and Li Shimin was not good at continuing to say anything. In fact, talking about peace is definitely a helpless move, and now the national strength has not been fully restored, but the Turks still have a tendency to turmoil, which makes Li Shimin very anxious.

Li Shimin shouted in a hurry: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" So what should I do with Datang? ”

Seeing the situation, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward to block some anger for Tang Jian.

Eldest Sun Wuji: "What General Tang said is still reasonable, all the ministers hope that the saint will have a clear decision, and the best way at this time should be to fight to support the war, rather than sit back and wait for death." The ancients had a saying that they attacked from afar, since the Turks could not be broken in one fell swoop, then we should first consider some small places around, whether they can be recovered first, and then gradually plan to compete with the Turks! ”

Li Shimin: "Then what place can we capture first?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji: "First conquer the Liang division, then destroy the Eastern Turks, contain the Western Turks, and try to secure the Quartet!" ”

Li Shimin: "Liang Shidu? This monkey has not been extinguished, he is making trouble next to us, and many persuasions to surrender have no effect, and he actually took the initiative to take refuge in the Turks, shamelessly! Song Guogong, how have you completed the things that were handed to you before? ”

Song Guogong: "All the merchants sent into Shuofang City, just wait for a few days, and there should be results." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and looked at the ministers below again.

Li Shimin: "This is very good, I hope that all of you Aiqing will be the same as today, and you will have the same hatred for the enemy!" It is bound to drive the Turks out of sight, to ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the century-old plan is all in one fell swoop! ”

A lot of people came in one after another in the Wanshi House, and they were all gathered together by the shops from the previous shopping street. Liu Buwen hurriedly rushed to the hall, and Yanshan had already presided over the work in front.

Yanshan: "Don't panic, at present, Ah Zhen is indeed the one who went out of our Wanshi House, but what he does now has nothing to do with us." ”

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store: "What doesn't matter?" He told the secret of one of my shops, and if it was a big deal, one person would collapse, and everyone would support each other, and now it's okay, this kid has offended our entire street! Bringing the damned Hu people to Dongshi, isn't this an ominous omen for my Tang Dynasty? ”

Yun Niang really wanted to stand on the side of Yanshan and speak for him, but now that the people in the store are almost unable to survive, they must unite again to ask Wanshiwu for an explanation, and the matter must have an ending.

Yun Niang: "Yanshan, I know you're not in charge of things, how long has Luo Gan been out?" Haven't you come back yet? ”

Yanshan: "How many more days...... It's going to be a few days ......."

Yun Niang: "This last time I can say that I will come back next week, shouldn't Luo Gan be killed?" ”

Liu Buwen rushed out and loudly reprimanded Yanshan for his ambiguous attitude.

Liu Buwen: "I said a long time ago, paper can't contain fire!" There's no way to delay like this, I'll tell you! We, President Rogan, have been reused by the Imperial Court, and now we are being sent out to complete an important mission, we must be innocent, otherwise how could the Imperial Court give us the task of Wanshiwu? ”

The jeweler's shopkeeper: "Tell the truth! You are all outsiders, how can you be reused by the imperial court, foolish dreams! ”

Yun Niang: "This ...... It's a bit exaggerated, right? ”

Liu Buwen: "I don't believe it, and Ah Zhen was here before, but he cut off contact with us not long ago, saying that there was an opportunity outside, and we didn't know what was going on, after all, such a big person, it is impossible for us to ask about everything."
