Chapter 122: Preparations for the Eastern Crusade (2)

Li Er shook his head and said: "It's not an urgent military situation, the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion is playing, and the Turks cross the Yellow River south and ask to live between Sheng and Xia Erzhou." ”

"This matter, the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion can't make a decision, and I hereby ask what I should do!"

"And what does Your Majesty plan to do with these Turks?" The minister asked.

"I intend to grant the Turks' request! They were allowed to reside between the states of Katsu and Natsu. For this question, Li Er didn't want to answer directly.

"Didn't my father let the Khan return to the Turks to pacify the Turks? Why did the Turks cross the Yellow River south to the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty? Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian didn't know much about this history, he only knew that Li Er asked Yuli Khan to cross the Yellow River north and return to Mobei to dominate his people.

In fact, the real purpose was to support the restoration of the Turkic Khanate by the Khan of Qili, and to contain and balance the growing Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo's True Pearl Khan naturally couldn't watch the destroyed Turkic Khanate regain its state, so he repeatedly sent troops to deal with the Turks of the Qili Khan to prevent it from recovering the country.

Although the restoration of the Khan failed later, Xue Yantuo won the victory, but the Khan still has 100,000 people of the tribe and 40,000 troops, even if it can't cause fatal damage to Xue Yantuo, there is no problem in creating a little friction.

These Turks didn't follow the Khan well, so why did they cross the Yellow River south and run to Henan?

This is where Li Chengqian is puzzled, he really doesn't understand what is going on.

"After the khan returned to Mobei, he was unable to appease the tribes that ruled him, which made all his tribesmen complain and unwilling to obey the orders of the Khan."

"Only then did I abandon the Khan of Qili, crossed the Yellow River south to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and asked to live between Sheng and Xia Prefectures, and was willing to belong to my Tang Dynasty." Li Er sighed.

He originally planned to support the Khan of Qili to balance Xue Yantuo, so that Xue Yantuo would not be too inflated and easy to float.

Although Datang is not afraid of Xue Yantuo, but now he is going to crusade against Goguryeo, and if he can do less, he will do less, and try to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

But who knows, this Qianli Khan is so incompetent, it is really a dou who can't be supported, you say what a heroic person the predecessor Qili Khan is, how did he give birth to such an heir.

"And what about the people of the Sulli Khan?" When Li Chengqian asked this sentence, he felt regretful, what else could he do if he became a lonely Khan?

In addition to running back to Datang, what else can he do, is it possible to stay in Mobei and wait for Xue Yantuo to deal with him.

Li Chengqian felt like he had asked a stupid question.

"The Xiazhou Governor's Mansion said that the Khan of Qili has come to Luoyang! Calculate the time and distance, and arrive in Luoyang tomorrow at the latest. Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty!" A minister came out of the column and saluted: "Your Majesty has just sent troops to the east to conquer Liaodong, and now you are going to settle the Turks in Henan, not far from Beijing, how can it not become a trouble." ”

"Just in case, the minister also hopes that His Majesty can guard the eastern capital Luoyang, so as to be in order."

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Another minister stepped forward.

"The minister also seconded it!" Except for several ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the other ministers all stood up to express their positions.

"If I stay in Luoyang, who can conquer Goguryeo for me, and this crusade against Goguryeo must not be abandoned." Li Er said angrily.

"Your Majesty!" The minister said: "My Tang Dynasty will be like a cloud!" Your Majesty can send a general to lead an expedition to Goguryeo, and you can solve it! ”

"Enough! What do you know? Dare to speak in front of me! "Li Er is furious!

He was very dissatisfied with the attitude of these ministers, and Li Er reprimanded everyone.

"Your Majesty is angry! The minister is guilty, please forgive your majesty! The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty!

"Yi Di is also a human being, and his favor is no different from that of the Central Plains, and the human owner is worried that he can't give them favors, so he doesn't have to be suspicious of strangers."

"If the favor is given properly, the four Yi can make the relatives like a family; If there is too much suspicion, even if it is flesh and blood, it will inevitably become an enemy. ”

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was brutal and unreasonable, and he had already lost the hearts of the people, and in the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, people cut off their siblings to escape conscription."

"Yang Xuangan led the soldiers who escorted grain and grass to rebel in Liyang, not because of the disaster caused by Rong Di, you all know this."

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, and no one dared to say a word, which angered His Majesty Li Er, who was in a state of rage.

Seeing that there was silence in the main hall, Li Er calmed down the mood of the riot and continued: "This time I crusaded against Goguryeo, all of them were people who chose to voluntarily follow me on the expedition and make meritorious contributions. ”

"Recruit ten to get hundreds, recruit hundreds to get thousands, and those who have not been conscripted into the army, who are not full of complaints, how can the resentment of the people during the Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition be compared."

"The Turks are a poor and weak people, I adopted them, they are not grateful to Dade, and they are deeply engraved in their bones, how can they make waves and cause trouble for the Tang Dynasty."

"The Turks and Xue Yantuo have roughly the same desires and hobbies, they did not go north to Xue Yantuo, but went south to submit to the Tang Dynasty, which shows their true feelings, how can I live up to their good intentions."

The ministers still have nothing to say! Originally, he planned to take advantage of the fact that the Turks were going south to drag Li Er in Luoyang, but who knew that this plan would still go bankrupt.

Chu Suiliang wanted to stop.

Li Er looked at it in his eyes and asked, "Chu Qing has any objections?" ”

"There is no objection from the minister!" Chu Suiliang saluted.

But I wondered, even if I had an opinion, would it be useful? What's the use of you not listening.

Li Er said to Chu Suiliang: "Chu Qing is in charge of my daily life record, and I will write this sentence on me, and from now on fifteen years, there will be no more hidden dangers of the Turks. ”

"No!" Chu Suiliang responded, and wrote down the sentence that Li Er just said on the court, so as not to forget it, and after he went back, he added it to the living record.

"Do you have anything else to play? If not, let's all return! I'm tired! Li Er sat back on the throne and said.

"Father, what should be done with the unfavorable pacification of the tribe by the Khan of Lili?" Just as everyone was about to bow and retreat, Li Zhi asked.

Everyone secretly said in their hearts, King Jin is still too tender, if according to the general situation, the Khan of Lili should naturally be severely punished, this is his dereliction of duty.

But the key point is that the dereliction of duty of the Qili Khan led to the submission of the Turks to the Tang Dynasty, which should be regarded as a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, this Lili Khan is also a Khan of the Turks anyway, and it is still valuable to keep him.

You don't have to guess to know that His Majesty Li Er will definitely not blame Tongli Khan, not only will he not blame, but he will also be promoted to a knighthood.

King Jin asked this sentence, it is really redundant!
