Chapter 1308: Li Jin is in trouble
"Brother An doesn't have to worry, Brother Jin is very good, he is now serving as a captain under King Jiangxia, Mr. is kind to King Jiangxia, so King Jiangxia also takes great care of Brother Jin, you don't have to worry about his safety." Seeing Ping Anlang's worried look, Wang Fangyi also hurriedly explained.
Hearing that Li Jin was fine, Ping An Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately asked again: "Since the second brother is with the King of Jiangxia, I am relieved, but why did you hesitate just now, did the second brother cause something in the army?" ”
Ping An Lang was still a little uneasy in the end, after all, Li Jin was a well-known troublemaker, he didn't have a day of peace in Chang'an before, and then he went to the military academy, so he restrained a little, but as the eldest brother, Ping An Lang knew that Li Jin's temperament had not changed at all, and the word bold to describe him was too appropriate, he used to have his father and mother at home, and now that he is in the army, no one can control him anymore, maybe it will cause some big disaster?
"Brother An, don't worry, Brother Jin is not small, and he knows the importance of doing things, and he has also done a very good job under the King of Jiangxia, and he has already made a lot of contributions in just half a year, but it's just ......" When Wang Fangyi said at the end, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression, which seemed to be a little unspeakable.
"Just what?" Ping An Lang's heart that had been relieved was also raised again, he was really afraid that something would happen to Li Jin.
"Ahem, it's just that Brother Jin is too bold......" I saw Wang Fangyi hesitate again at this time, and finally told Li Jin what he did under Li Daozong.
Xue Yantuo was defeated by the Hui Hui, Servant Gu and other tribes, but they did not completely destroy Xue Yantuo's strength, so Li Shimin sent Li Daozong and others to clear the rest of Xue Yantuo, and the result was that the battle was very smooth, after all, even Bazhuo died, and the Xue Yantuo royal family was also killed and wounded, so Xue Yantuo could not form an effective resistance at all.
However, after Li Daozong and others destroyed Xue Yantuo, they faced a problem, that is, how to deal with Xue Yantuo's homeland in Mobei, originally according to Li Shimin's plan to annex the grassland, Xue Yantuo's homeland must also be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but Xue Yantuo's homeland is too far to the north, and the conditions are very bad, if it is the Tang garrison, the gains outweigh the losses.
At this time, Hui Hui's Tumidu proposed to the Tang Dynasty that he helped the Tang Dynasty destroy Xue Yantuo, so he wanted to occupy Xue Yantuo's homeland, they and Xue Yantuo were both Tiele people, Xue Yantuo's homeland was a fertile pasture for them, and they spent so much effort to destroy Xue Yantuo, in addition to not wanting to be squeezed by Xue Yantuo, they also coveted Xue Yantuo's pasture.
Faced with this situation, Li Daozong and the others didn't know how to deal with it, and in the end they could only temporarily let Hui return to their own territory, they needed to consult Li Shimin before making a decision, as for Xue Yantuo's homeland, it was now temporarily garrisoned by Li Daozong and others.
Originally, if there was no accident, Li Shimin might have agreed to send a part of Xue Yantuo's homeland to Hui Hui, one is to give Hui Hui a reward, so that other tribes know the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty, and the other can also win over Hui Hui, of course, the most important thing is that although Datang wants to annex the grassland, it can't control such a far territory for the time being, so if it doesn't give it to Datang, Hui will also annex it here in the future, so Li Shimin is also a favor.
However, during the period of waiting for Li Shimin's decision, a big change occurred, that is, some Hui people were too anxious, and they began to encroach on Xue Yantuo's homeland controlled by the Tang Dynasty little by little, although Li Daozong knew about it, but he also turned a blind eye, after all, he had to give it sooner or later anyway, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
It was also at this time that Li Jin was sent to serve under Li Daozong, originally Li Daozong wanted Li Jin to stay by his side, so as to protect his safety, after all, if something happened to Li Jin, he would not be able to explain to Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, but he did not expect Li Jin to insist on refusing, saying that he had traveled thousands of miles to northern Xinjiang, not to pamper himself, but to really do something, and finally Li Daozong had no choice but to appoint him as a lieutenant colonel and lead a battalion of soldiers and horses alone.
As a result, what Li Daozong didn't expect was that after Li Jin led a battalion of soldiers and horses, he took turns to camp at the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui people, and just happened to encounter the Hui people encroaching on Xue Yantuo's homeland, Li Jin is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and in his opinion, the place where the Tang army is stationed is the land of the Tang Dynasty, so he also immediately launched an attack on the Hui people.
Originally, Li Jin was just a small lieutenant, with only one battalion under his command, that is, seven hundred and fifty people, even if he had a conflict with the Hui people, it was just a trivial matter, but Li Jin was sociable, and made a large number of friends when he was in the military school, and now these people are all filled into the army as middle and low-level generals, and some people are serving under Li Daozong like Li Jin, but I don't know how Li Jin instigated these people, they actually organized an army of thousands of people, and killed the Hui people, and the original encroachment of Xue Yantuo's homeland was all spit out.
What's worse is that Li Jin's counterattack against the Hui people also made the Hui people misunderstand, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was going to be an opponent against them after destroying Xue Yantuo, so they also stood up to gather a large army to confront the Tang army, and now the situation between the two sides is also very tense, fortunately, Li Daozong and Tumidu are relatively restrained, which avoids a conflict.
"That's the thing, strictly speaking, this matter is that the Hui people are unruly first, and there is nothing wrong with Brother Jin, so King Jiangxia can't punish him for this matter, but because this matter affects the relationship between our Datang and Hui Hui, so now King Jiangxia is also very embarrassed, so he can only report it to His Majesty." Wang Fangyi finally concluded, speaking of this, he also smiled bitterly, Li Jinchuang's disaster is not small, it has affected the diplomatic relations between Datang and Hui Hui, which is also what he is most worried about.
"Hehe, although King Jiangxia is very good at fighting, he doesn't know as much about His Majesty's mind as his second brother, Fang Yi, don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely not blame the second brother for this matter!" After hearing this, Heian Lang suddenly smiled and said, there was no longer a worried expression on his face.
"Why?" Wang Fangyi couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Ping Anlang's answer.
"It's very simple, Xue Yantuo was destroyed, and His Majesty wanted to annex the entire grassland, so naturally he didn't want another Xue Yantuo to rise on the grassland, and now that the Hui Hui have defeated Xue Yantuo, if it is allowed to annex Xue Yantuo's territory again, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to become another Xue Yantuo, which Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyway, so the second brother repelled the Hui people this time, but it's a good thing, you can warn the Hui and let them see their position." Ping An Lang also smiled confidently at the moment.
"How can you be so sure, then according to your meaning, Your Majesty is preparing to annex all of Xue Yantuo's homeland, and not give it to the Hui people at all?" Wang Fangyi asked even more in surprise when he heard this.
"Hehe, in fact, before my second brother and I came to Northern Xinjiang, I had a long conversation with my father, and my father also helped us analyze the situation in Northern Xinjiang, as well as His Majesty's plans for the northern grasslands, I guess the second brother also knows His Majesty's thoughts, so he will be so bold to attack the Hui people, this kid is really a ghost and a ghost, I'm afraid this time His Majesty will reprimand him at most, but there will be a reward in the future." When Ping An Lang said the end, he couldn't help laughing, and now he was completely relieved of Li Jin.
"No wonder he has such courage, it turns out that Mr. has taught you a lesson, and when I come back from Xishou City, I will definitely go to talk to you for a few days, and thoroughly understand the imperial court's plan here before going to work!" Wang Fangyi also showed a sudden expression of realization when he heard this.
"Haha~, no problem, I'll pick you up in Yunzhou City then, let's have a few drinks!" Heian Lang laughed again.
Wang Fangyi's military order was in his body, and he must rush to Xishou City before dark today, so he also quickly got up to say goodbye, and Ping An Lang also personally sent him away, and then returned to Yunzhou City, and then returned to Yunzhou City, and when it was evening, he wrote a letter to his family, telling Li Xiu that he had met Wang Fangyi, and inquired about Li Jin's news.
At the same time, the Liangyi Hall in Chang'an City was also brightly lit, and Li Shimin smiled at this time and handed a piece of the fold in his hand to Li Xiu and said: "Look, this kid Jin'er has just gone to the north, and he has caused such a big disaster to me, Hui Hui is our ally, but he was beheaded by three hundred in a battle, and he also pursued a hundred miles, almost causing a big battle." ”
Li Xiu also opened the fold at this time and read it, this fold was sent by Li Daozong, which described Li Jin's actions in detail, but Li Xiu smiled calmly after reading it: "Jin'er is sharing worries for Your Majesty, with this battle, you can also give a warning to the Hui people, and then Your Majesty will appease the Hui people, and you can save a lot of land." ”
"Hahaha~, your father and son are really smart, Jin'er, this kid is too shrewd, he probably knows that I don't want the Hui people to become the second Xue Yantuo, so he will be so bold to do this kind of thing, but his courage is too big, this kind of thing is indispensable, at least on the surface, I have to give the Hui people an explanation, so I will punish him to go to Mo Nan to be an honest garrison, and wait until the limelight is over in the future." Li Shimin also laughed at the moment.
"Your Majesty is wise, Jin'er really needs to polish it, otherwise doing this kind of thing in the future will only bring him great disaster!" Li Xiu also nodded in agreement at this time, Mo Nan is relatively peaceful, and there will be no danger, and Yunzhou, where Ping An Lang is located, belongs to Mo Nan.
Seeing that Li Xiu agreed to polish Li Jin, Li Shimin also nodded, and then he seemed to think of something, and said with a somewhat depressed expression at the moment: "By the way, are you free tomorrow, if you are free, will you accompany me out of the palace?" ”
