"Yes, I do have that idea!" Regarding Li Xiu's inquiry, Li Shimin nodded and admitted without any hesitation that the reason why he left Tuli was to continue to divide the Turkic forces, and secondly, he also thought that he could support Tuli in the future, and even replace Jieli's current position, after all, compared to Jieli, Turki is much easier to control.

"Your Majesty, Tuli is indeed much easier to deal with than Jieli, but Your Majesty has not thought about it, if he takes Jieli's place in the future, will he still be willing to be controlled by my Datang, if he is not controlled, then what will Your Majesty do?" Li Xiu asked Li Shimin with a calm face.

Li Xiu is not alarmist, but from a historical point of view, Li Shimin has always implemented a policy of restraint on the grassland, especially after the destruction of the Turks, he has also been playing balance on the grassland, pulling a group to fight a group, which seems to be able to control the vast grassland without too much force, and at the same time won him the title of "Heavenly Khan".

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, Li Shimin balances on the grassland, and seems to use the least number of troops to achieve the effect he wants, but it is equivalent to a person walking a tightrope, Li Shimin's skills are good, so he will not fall off the tightrope, but his successors do not necessarily have his ability.

In addition, when playing balance on the grassland, Datang does not invest much in the grassland, which also makes Datang's control over the grassland also very weak, and there are many tribes in the grassland, wars and mergers have not stopped, whenever a grassland overlord falls, another overlord will stand up, such as Xue Yantuo, such as Hui Hui, etc., Datang is good when it is strong, but when Datang is weak, the grassland will become a nightmare for Datang, which is why many people in later generations said that Datang died at the hands of the Hu people.

"Li Xiu, what you said is not unreasonable, if Tuli replaces Jieli, it is likely that he will have other ambitions in the future, but this is nothing, I will definitely make some arrangements for Tuli in secret, if he dares to rebel, then he will have to bear the corresponding consequences!" Li Shimin nodded first, then said with a light smile, and when he said the end, his tone was also a little murderous.

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he remembered that in the original history, after Li Shimin destroyed the Turks, he did support Tuli to replace Jieli's position, but within a few years, Tuli died of illness for no reason, he seemed to be less than thirty years old at the time, although he can't be sure, but judging from the current situation, it is likely that Tuli had ambitions, and was secretly killed by Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, one Turk is indeed nothing, you can support another one if you die, but the weak eat the strong on the grassland, if a tribe seizes the opportunity, it is likely to become the overlord of the grassland in a short time, I was nothing when the Tang Dynasty was strong, but in case of weakness, it will definitely repeat the previous Turkic disaster!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time.

The Central Plains Dynasty has almost always been trapped in such a strange circle, when it was strong, it fled from the grassland, and when it was weak, it was disturbed by the grassland barbarians, and even in danger of destroying the country, even if it was as strong as the Tang Dynasty, it has not been able to jump out of this strange circle, which Li Xiu does not want to see anyway.

"The horse can't help but think too much, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and my Tang Dynasty is also getting stronger and stronger, Your Majesty will have enough time to slowly solve the problem of the grassland in the future, and it is too early to think about these now!" At this moment, I saw Du Ruhui, who was thin next to him, suddenly said, his age is about the same as Fang Xuanling, and the two are still close friends, and Fang Mou Du Duan is rumored to be a beautiful talk.

"Du Xiang's words are also reasonable, but I just want to remind Your Majesty that for those barbarians in the northern grassland, we must make some long-term plans, otherwise even if we can solve the problem for a while, it will leave endless hidden dangers for future generations!" Li Xiu said earnestly again at this time.

Du Ruhui's words are actually correct, after all, compared to others, Li Xiu's eyes are no longer limited to the replacement of an emperor, but the replacement of a dynasty, and he is also familiar with the history of this dynasty, which is incomparable to anyone, but sometimes if the vision is too advanced, it will be unacceptable.

"Li Xiu, your words are not unreasonable, but apart from balancing on the grassland, do you have any better way?" At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Shimin, who had not spoken, asking Li Xiu, he had been thinking about Li Xiu's words just now, but he thought about it, but he didn't think of a better way.

"Nope!" Li Xiu shook his head very dryly, he could only use the original history to see the problem of the Tang Dynasty's policy on the grassland, but he was not a politician, and even his understanding of politics was not as good as that of an ordinary official, and in several dynasties in later generations, there seemed to be no way to completely solve the problem of the grassland, so he naturally couldn't think of any good way, so he could only give Li Shimin a wake-up call, hoping to solve this problem with the help of his wisdom.

Seeing Li Xiu's answer so simply, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a helpless expression, according to previous experience, since Li Xiu dared to put it forward, there should be a solution, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to have no way, and he answered so simply, which made him feel deceived.

"Your Majesty, the meaning of the concubine is that the northern grassland has always been the henchman of my Central Plains Dynasty, and for us now, it is indeed a little impossible to completely solve the threat of the northern grassland, so the minister feels that it can be divided into three steps!" At this moment, I suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been smiling and listening, spoke.

"Oh? Mowgli, tell me what are the three steps? Li Shimin also asked with great interest when he heard this, and at the same time attracted the attention of Li Xiu and Du Ruhui.

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Xiu were both looking at him, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled calmly, and then replied: "Your Majesty, for now, the threat of the northern grassland mainly comes from the Turks, so for our Datang, the first step is to destroy the Turks, as long as the Turks are destroyed, we can temporarily solve the threat of the grassland to us, and within ten years, there should be no more forces in the grassland to threaten our Datang!" ”

"The second step is to take advantage of the time of the past ten years to completely divide and disintegrate the forces on the grassland, and if necessary, it can even trigger their internal fighting, so that the entire grassland will become a plate of scattered sand, and it will no longer be able to form a cohesive force, so that it can buy a longer period of stability for my Datang."

"As for the third step, it is to solve the problem raised by the horse, that is, to find a way to completely eliminate the threat of the northern grassland to my Datang, but now we can't find any solution, but the minister thinks that the situation has been changing, and if he can't find a way now, it doesn't mean that he can't find a way in the future, so he thinks that this step can be put on hold for the time being, and it's not too late to think of a way to discuss it later!"

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished his three-step strategy, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui couldn't help but be amazed, Li Xiu also looked at each other in surprise, thinking that he was worthy of being the first minister in Lingyan Pavilion, and the eldest grandson Wuji was able to get to this day, not only by his special relationship with Li Shimin, but also because of his own talent, no matter what complicated issues he had, he would become orderly in his hands, and his three-step strategy really made people unable to think of a reason to refute.

"This three-step strategy is indeed very clear, but if you want to complete these three steps, I'm afraid it will take ten or even decades, Your Majesty had better be mentally prepared!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment, and finally spoke to Li Shimin again, because in the original history, Li Shimin couldn't even do the second step completely, so Li Xiu had to remind him again.

"Haha, Li Xiu, don't worry, even if I can't finish it, my son will help me finish it!" Li Shimin was full of confidence at this time, he was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and thought that with his own vision, he would definitely be able to select an excellent successor.

However, Li Xiu thought of the bad things between Li Shimin's sons in history, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that Li Shimin could maintain such an optimistic attitude in the future.
