From the last years of the Great Cause, the Turks became the biggest enemy of the Central Plains, but wherever the Turkic cavalry passed, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as not an inch of grass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAs the Great Sui fell apart, the threat of the Turks became more obvious, and if Li Xuanba wanted the world to return to stability, he had to be wary of the Turks.

"The first emperor would rather lose Jiangshan Sheji and preserve the strength of the Xiaoguo army, his purpose is precisely to deal with the Turkic cavalry that may go south at any time!" Li Xuanba bowed his hand to the sky, and said with a solemn face: "Maybe the first emperor did a lot of wrong things during his reign, but Xuanba thinks that if the first emperor can have such an idea, he is worthy of the gratitude of the people of the world!" ”

"Grandpa Huang has a long-term vision, and he is beyond our reach!" Li Xuanba's words evoked Yang Tong's memories, and he sighed: "However, he has not lost the world, but most of the people in the world have lost him." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, about Yang Guang's merits and demerits, his descendants would evaluate it, and he really couldn't say anything more in front of Yang Tong, so he sat quietly and waited for Li Xuanba's next words.

Yang Guang has been dead for several years, and Li Xuanba said those words, of course, not to shoot Yang Guang's sycophants. After Yang Tong finished speaking, he continued: "What the first emperor was worried about was what Xuanba had always been difficult to worry about, so Xuanba would be anxious to let Brother Sutuo and Xia Guogong pacify the thieves in the land of Qilu, once the Turks went south, the army of the imperial court could rush to the border counties as quickly as possible to resist the Turkic cavalry for the people of the Central Plains." ”

"I see." The eldest grandson Wuji came to his senses: "King Zhou has been concealing the matter of General Xu's surrender to Southern Sui, presumably in order to relax Liu Wuzhou's vigilance? ”

"Although Liu Wuzhou is just a puppet supported by the Turks, the Turks' understanding of the situation in the Central Plains should be through him." After a few months, the eldest grandson Wuji was still so smart, and Li Xuanba was very pleased: "General Xu or Xia Guogong alone is powerless to stop the Turkic army, but if the Turks know that the two of them have surrendered to the imperial court, they will inevitably take precautions in the future, which will make the imperial court lose the effect of surprise." ”

"King Zhou's talent, Wuji admires." The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Now it seems that Datang's concealment of Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao's surrender may coincide with Gongzi's thoughts, and it is also intended to attack the Turks when they are heading south. ”

Yang Tong himself is extremely smart, but in front of Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji, he always feels like a newborn child, he knows that it is difficult for him to keep up with Li Xuanba's thinking, so he no longer interjects, and listens to Li Xuanba's conversation while slowly reminiscing.

"Now that the Turks are too busy to take care of themselves, Datang feels that there is no need to continue to hide it, so he took this opportunity to use them to contain Xia Guogong, but it really caught me off guard!" Perhaps angry at the imperial court's successive loss of two counties, Li Xuanba almost gritted his teeth when he spoke: "Brother Wuji, in your opinion, why did the Tang Dynasty attack General Xu?" ”

In Li Xuanba's view, no matter what the people of the world think, the Tang Dynasty attacked the cities of the Southern Sui, and the imperial court would definitely not sit idly by, and the Tang Dynasty categorically did not need to fight with the Southern Sui for the sake of the two counties.

"Mowgli thinks that we have neglected one thing." The eldest grandson Wuji replied unhurriedly: "If the Tang Dynasty didn't know that General Xu had surrendered to the Southern Sui, he would ignore him, but the Tang Dynasty knew very well that the Duke of Xia, the Duke of Donghai County and General Xu were all courtiers of the imperial court, and the land of Qi and Lu pacified by the three of them would eventually become the city of the imperial court!" ”

With the heirloom jade seal, the growth speed of the Southern Sui is too fast for some people to accept, among which the Tang Dynasty should be the most. Datang wants to dominate the world, and Nan Sui will be a huge stumbling block, and Datang doesn't want this stone to get bigger and bigger, so he tries to erase some of the angular debris of this boulder.

Moreover, although the Tang Dynasty persecuted the Northern Sui into only one Luoyang City, in the process, there were countless dead and wounded soldiers, and the Southern Sui attacked the rebels in the land of Qilu, those rebels had low combat power, and the losses of the Southern Sui court were very small, which undoubtedly made the rulers of the Tang Dynasty feel uncomfortable.

Why did our Tang Dynasty contain Wang Shichong's army, while you, Xu Shiji, made contributions to the Southern Sui court without worry?

Eldest Sun Wuji's guess was extremely bold, Li Xuanba looked at Eldest Sun Wuji dumbfounded, he wanted to say something questioning, but the words were swallowed back when they came to his mouth, because he found that the words he wanted to say could not refute Eldest Sun Wuji's point of view at all, in other words, Eldest Sun Wuji's speculation may be the truth.

"Brother Dade, I think Brother Wuji's words are very reasonable." Li Xuanba was silent for too long, Yang Tong had enough time to clear his mind, he looked at Li Xuanba, and said tentatively: "Besides, once the imperial court pacifies the land of Qilu, it can directly threaten Luoyang and Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty obviously does not want to see such a situation." ”

There is no shortage of people in Datang who are good at planning, and they can naturally realize the harm caused by the pacification of Qilu by Southern Sui.

But pacifying the land of Qilu is something that Southern Sui must do, Li Xuanba can't give up such an idea because of the obstruction of the Tang Dynasty, he has calmed down at this time, and even began to think, who decided to crusade against Xu Shiji, Li Yuan? Li Jiancheng? Or Li Shimin?

Li Xuanba now clearly knows that the commander of the Tang Army is Li Shimin, but Li Shimin is only the deputy commander of the Tang Dynasty attacking the Northern Sui, and he led the army to crusade against Xu Shiji, and he must get Li Jiancheng's approval, as for whether Li Jiancheng has consulted Li Yuan, Li Xuanba does not know.

"Brother Wuji, do you have a good plan?" Li Xuanba earnestly asked: "As I said before, it is inconvenient for the imperial army to fight with the Tang army, and Brother Sutuo can only secretly assist in defending the city, and the matter of repelling the Tang army can only be done by others. ”

"Didn't King Zhou say it very clearly?" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly and said, "Since this matter can only be done by others, and only Xia Guogong can help, the imperial court has no other choice at all." ”

"But Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao are in the river, and Xia Guogong lacks skills, how can he help General Xu?" Yang Tong didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to make such a suggestion, and reminded anxiously.

"Although it is inconvenient for the Duke of Donghai to go out of the city to meet the enemy, he can defend the city on his behalf." Eldest Sun Wuji's face was still calm and light, and he said slowly.

"That's a good idea." Li Xuanba's eyes lit up, he stood up, high-fived and praised, then faced Yang Tong, and said softly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to send someone to pass the edict, please Brother Sutuo secretly lead the army to Hejian to defend Hejian County for Xia Guogong, and at the same time let Xia Guogong lead the army to Dongping to repel the Tang army." ”

"I will draw up an edict tomorrow." There was a solution to the matter, and Yang Tong said happily: "Brother Dade has always admired Brother Wuji, Brother Wuji's talent, I can really understand it today." ”

"Your Majesty and King Zhou have overdone it." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and saluted, without the slightest smug look on his face. (To be continued.) )
