Chapter 688: Conquering the Turks with the Turks

Li Xiu talked with Gao Biaoren for a long time, and finally said goodbye and left, and Gao Biaoren personally sent him to the carriage, and the smile on his face was also very bright, until Li Xiu's carriage was gone, Gao Biaoren laughed excitedly, and then entered the restaurant again to ask for two jars of good wine, and poured himself drunk, but this time he celebrated himself in advance, after all, with Li Xiu behind his back, he was just around the corner, of course, the premise is that he must do a good job of Li Xiu's explanation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, Li Xiu on the carriage was also thinking about today's events, in fact, the reason why he went to find Gopyeongin was only one real purpose, that is, to completely disrupt the relationship between Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje.

Don't look at Li Xiu asked Gao Biaoren to contact Baekje as much as possible, but he didn't trust these three small countries in his bones, and now Goguryeo is powerful, so he asked Gao Biaoren to win over the weak Silla and Baekje, and when Goguryeo is destroyed, he will pull the weaker Baekje to suppress Silla, anyway, it is not to make a few small countries on the Korean Peninsula feel better.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another New Year is coming, and in the second half of the month, Zhao Deyan finally rushed back to Chang'an from Dingxiang, although he made a small mistake when he moved the Turks before, causing some Turks to rebel, but then he also corrected it in time, so that no similar thing happened in this year, and nearly 100,000 Turks have moved to the south.

The migration of the Turks is not a thing that can be completed in a short period of time, Li Xiu estimates that it will take at least three or four years to move the remaining Turks on the steppe to the south, after all, the more to the end, the more difficult it is to gather the remaining Turks together, but it doesn't matter, after most of the Turks move away, even if there are still some Turks left in the steppe, they will be quickly annexed by other tribes, and there will be no Turks on the steppe in the future.

As soon as Zhao Deyan arrived in Chang'an, he was immediately summoned into the palace by Li Shimin, it is said that he stayed in the palace for a whole day before he came out, and then Zhao Deyan immediately came to visit Li Xiu, Li Xiu was not surprised at all, in fact, even if Zhao Deyan did not come, Li Xiu had to ask him about the purpose of his return.

"Thank you for the reminder last time, and thanks to the good things that the horse said for me in front of Your Majesty, you didn't let Your Majesty punish me for the Turkic rebellion!" As soon as Zhao Deyan saw Li Xiu, he immediately bowed and thanked him.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of effort, and you've done quite well, since then, there has been no rebellion of the Turks, and in a year you have moved 100,000 Turks to the south, and it seems that in a few years, the Turks will never be seen in the steppe again." Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and at the same time asked Zhao Deyan to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Donkey, you must be very curious why I suddenly returned to Chang'an, right?" I saw Zhao Deyan take a sip of tea, and then said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"Yes, although you have migrated 100,000 Turks in a year, but even so, there are still hundreds of thousands of Turks waiting to be relocated on the steppe, so it can be said that your future task is also a long way to go, so when I heard that you returned to Chang'an, I also couldn't figure it out." Li Xiu said without concealing it at this time, he was indeed surprised by Zhao Deyan's sudden return, and even wondered if something had happened to Dingxiang?

"Actually, I came back this time to personally ask His Majesty to go to the south in advance to preside over the management of the Turks, as for the migration of the Turks from Dingxiang, it is already on the right track, so there is no need for me to personally sit in charge anymore!" Zhao Deyan finally told the reason for his return at this time.

"I see, you went to see Your Majesty yesterday and talked about this matter, right?" Li Xiu nodded silently when he heard Zhao Deyan's words, he was not surprised by Zhao Deyan's request, after all, Zhao Deyan hated the Turks to the core, as long as he went to the south, he could change the law to toss those Turks.

"Yes, at the beginning, His Majesty did not agree to my request, which is also normal, after all, the matter of relocating the Turks has just been on the right track, and if I leave, he is worried that something will happen, but I finally persuaded His Majesty that after the New Year, I will go to the south!" Zhao Deyan smiled and nodded at this time.

"Huh? The relocation of the Turks was such an important matter, and His Majesty agreed to let you leave so easily? Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Zhao Deyan's words, he thought that Li Shimin should not agree to Zhao Deyan's request, and even when Zhao Deyan came to see him today, it was likely to ask him to help persuade Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to agree.

"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing strange, I explained the situation in Dingxiang to Your Majesty in detail, Your Majesty thinks that my migration plan for the Turks is very safe, and I don't need to stay there anymore, so I agreed." Zhao Deyan also smiled proudly at this time, it seems that he is also very satisfied with his efforts in the past year.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear about your situation in Dingxiang? Li Xiu also showed a curious expression at this time and said, although Zhao Deyan has occasionally sent the situation from Dingxiang to Chang'an over the past year, but after all, the distance between the two places is too far, and the transportation is not convenient, plus Li Xiu is also very relieved of Zhao Deyan's ability, so he doesn't know much about the situation in Dingxiang, after all, he only needs to know that the Turks are constantly being transported to the south.

"You also know that the first batch of Turks who left for the south rebelled on the road, and later you also reminded me that in order to completely solve the Turkic rebellion, I also spent a lot of thought, in addition to improving the treatment of the Turks on the road, but also strengthened the control of the Turks, such as you suggested tying hands when the Turks migrated, etc., but then I thought of a more ingenious way......"

Zhao Deyan did not start from the big picture, but talked about a new method he implemented for the migration of the Turks, which is also simple to say, that is, to manage the Turks with the Turks.

When he found Zhao Deyan and expressed his willingness to migrate to the Tang Dynasty, it was also when Zhao Deyan received the news that the first batch of migrating Turks rebelled, and he was also very angry at that time, but after calming down, he thought of a good way, that is, to manage the Turks with Turks, but it is easy to have problems with Turkic people, and the most difficult thing is to make those Turks who are managers obey his orders.

The above question did not stump Zhao Deyan, at that time Zhizhi Sili was preparing to relocate, but Zhao Deyan put forward a condition to him, that is, if Zhiqi Sili gathered the middle-aged men of the Zhizhi Department to help him manage the Turks, then after they arrived in the Tang Dynasty in the future, they would receive special care from the Tang Dynasty, such as being allocated to more fertile land, getting more material support, and so on.

After the defeat of the Zhizhi Ministry, there was almost nothing, so the Zhifu Sili quickly agreed to Zhao Deyan's conditions, and Zhao Deyan in order to make the Zhifu Department more obedient, first moved the old and weak women of their tribe to the south in advance, in other words, the family members of the Zhifu Department were completely in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and they did not dare to refuse the order of the Tang Dynasty at all, and honestly cooperated with Zhao Deyan to move the Turkic court.

However, the families of the Ministry of Execution have moved to the south, and it is impossible for them to be stationed in Dingxiang for a long time, after all, after a long time, these middle-aged men left by the Ministry of Execution will definitely be fluctuating, so Zhao Deyan and the Ministry of Corruption agreed that they only need to stay in Dingxiang for a year, and then they can go to Dingxiang to reunite with their families, in fact, when he came to Chang'an, the Ministry of Corruption was already ready to leave for the south.

The Ministry of Perseverance is leaving, but Dingxiang is not short of people, because there are Turkic people on the grassland, especially some relatively strong Turkic tribes, as long as the leaders and nobles of these tribes are convinced, it is easy to get a batch of free manpower, and they will help the Tang Dynasty to urge the remaining Turks to gather in Dingxiang, if the Turks dare to resist, they will even use force to completely eliminate these Turks.

"Sure enough, it's a good idea!" After listening to Zhao Deyan's narration, Li Xiu couldn't help but say with great admiration, first tempting the Turks with benefits, and then sending the families of these Turks away, in this way, this soft and hard will firmly control these Turks in their hands, even if they are famous generals in history like Zhi Zhi Li, they have to obey Zhao Deyan's orders.

"Since the implementation of this method, the relocation of Dingxiang has been much safer and more stable, plus the assistants sent to me by His Majesty before are also very effective, with them in Dingxiang, I naturally don't have to stay in Dingxiang every day, of course, the reason why Your Majesty promised me to go to the south in advance is that in addition to this reason, there is another reason." Zhao Deyan smiled again at this time.

"Oh? Another reason? Li Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said in surprise at the moment, "Could it be that there is something wrong in the south?" ”

"Haha~, I really can't hide it, 100,000 Turks have moved to the south, and now there is indeed a small problem!" Zhao Deyan saw that Li Xiu guessed the reason at once, and he also laughed out loud and said with great admiration.

"What's wrong in the south, is it because the Turks are making trouble after they find out that they have been deceived?" Li Xiu also immediately asked with concern when he heard this, although he knew that the Turks went to the south, even if they knew that they had been deceived, they would not make any big trouble, but after all, it was not a big trouble.
