Chapter 265: Li Shimin's Calculations
Subsequently, Li Shimin and Longyan Dayue used the jade seal of the country for the first time, and the holy decree that was fortunate to be stamped with this seal was read out by Tang Jian to Jieli Khan's reprimand and comforting will. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Stubbornly lost his strength and consciously completed the important task assigned to him by the Khan, so he happily followed Hongluqing Tang Jian and General An Xiuren back.
In order to show his attention, Li Shimin specially sent people in advance to inform Li Jing to lead troops to respond.
However, the ministers of the court, except for those who had bitten their ears with Li Shimin in the back hall, the rest of them inexplicably felt that something was not quite right in this matter.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the emperor just sent Tang Jian to comfort him, and also ordered Li Jing to lead his troops to respond, but the most critical point was that Li Jing's order to stop the war was not issued.
What does this mean, since you accept Jieli's surrender, you should immediately order Li Jing and the rest of the army to cease fighting, otherwise why send Tang Jian over, this is completely unreasonable.
Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten it?
These people couldn't figure it out, and when Li Jing received the order at the moraine, he didn't understand it at once, and it seemed that Jieli had been wiped out, how could people soften their hearts as soon as they begged for mercy and surrendered to the emperor, and they also specially sent Tang Jian to comfort them, is it necessary to do it directly, and it will be done once and for all.
Has the emperor forgotten how the Turks have invaded the Tang Dynasty over the years?
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have invaded from time to time, in the first year of Wude, the Turkic invasion was six times, in the second year of Wude, the Turkic invasion was twenty-four times, the Wude was three years, the Turkic invasion was twelve times, the Wude was four years, and the Turkic invasion was sixteen times. In the fifth year of Wude, the Turkic invasion was fourteen times, and the largest entry occurred in the fifth year of Wude, in August of the same year, the Turkic army captured the important town of Dazhenguan, from more than half of the east of the river, hundreds of miles of valleys were full of Turkic people rushing south. The entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty was shaken. Six years of martial arts.....
Year after year, day by day of humiliation and pain, the Tang Dynasty recuperated from top to bottom, and the soldiers finally waited for a great opportunity, is it just to beat the Turks and surrender to the end?
It shouldn't be like this, Your Majesty will definitely not forget it like this, but why is there such a thing as Tang Jian envoying the Turks?
Compared with those ignorant ministers in the court, Li Jing is undoubtedly a smart man and an old fox, and he soon understood the deep meaning of the emperor's order.
So when Tang Jian and his party arrived in Xiangcheng, Li Jing led his troops to respond, the performance was called a kind spirit, and the attitude was so good, not to mention the Turkic man who lost his thinking power, even Tang Jian felt inexplicable, this Li Jing and Li Daguan have always been known for their deep thoughts and mood, and their joy and anger are invisible, now what's the matter, did you take the wrong medicine?
However, Li Jing's performance made Zhi Zhi Sili stunned for a while and then became happy, because he felt that Li Jing's performance showed that the Tang Emperor attached great importance to the surrender of the Turks, and this kind of performance must be because the Tang Emperor gave an order.
The commander of the Tang Army expressed his goodwill in this way, doesn't this mean that the Turks will turn the crisis into peace and will successfully complete their tasks?
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the more excited I became, the more I drank happily at the banquet at which I was entertained.
As a result, after Li Jing used his superb acting skills to flicker his stubborn thinking power and was convinced of the fact that the Tang Dynasty had ceased to accept the Turkic surrender, he immediately sent Tang Jian and his party to Yinshan Jieli Khan.
Turning his head, Li Jing led his troops to Baidao and Li Ji, and Wei Chigong went to converge.
"Yuanqing, do you think this battle is really going to stop like this?" Cheng Chumo and Wu Yuanqingzuan were eating simple hot pot in the tent, sweating profusely while asking.
"What do you say," Wu Yuanqing asked rhetorically after swallowing the mutton in his mouth.
"Hey, what else to say, Your Majesty has sent Tang Jian here, the battle must not be fought, the poor master originally wanted to make a difference this time, relying on the skills he has practiced since childhood to make a contribution, but he just came to send food and went back. Pitiful, pitiful, this time I will be ridiculed by that guy from Baolin, I heard that he has made several achievements with Li Jida, and the small tribe has personally led the team to destroy three. Cheng Chu said silently and pitifully, looking like he had nothing to love.
"You're wrong to think so," Wu Yuanqing shook his head with a smile.
"What's wrong, can you continue to fight?" Cheng Chumo hurriedly asked.
"Of course we can fight, not only can we fight, but we also have to fight" Wu Yuanqing took a good time to eat the meat before he continued under Cheng Chumo's urging eyes: "First of all, we must know that Your Majesty has endured this war for a long time, and the Weishui Alliance has always been the biggest shame in Your Majesty's heart. There is a chance to take revenge, how can Your Majesty give up halfway. Again, we need to know what kind of people the Turks are, people who are untrustworthy and unrighteous, who speak like farts, and how they say that the surrender of the whole country can be taken seriously, and I think His Majesty is also very clear about this. Jieli said that he would surrender when he was defeated by us, this was only a temporary show of weakness, and he was actually trying to wait for the grass to grow fat, and then move to Mobei, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. ā
"Go on, why did Your Majesty agree to Jieli's request to surrender?" Cheng Chumo asked.
"I think the reason why Your Majesty agreed to this request is, firstly, to show other surrounding countries, especially other tribes on the grassland, to let them know that Datang is not the kind of country that likes war, let alone destroy its country at every turn, so that these surrounding forces can rest assured, and secondly, it is also to paralyze Jieli and paralyze the Turkic people." Wu Yuanqing said.
"Paralyze the Turks, why, they are all beaten like this, we can defeat them without paralyzing" Cheng Chumo was very puzzled, obviously it was a war that was successfully won, why was it so troublesome.
Can't you use your brains more" Wu Yuanqing scolded with hatred before explaining: "You also said that we can defeat the Turks, but only defeat, but we can't completely eliminate them." This is because the geographical factors of the grassland are also determined by the living habits of these ethnic groups. Whether it was the Qin and Han dynasties against the Xiongnu or the Sui and Tang dynasties against the Turks, the complete defeat of the northern nomads by our Central Plains dynasties was actually a very arduous matter, and it was basically an impossible task. ā
Wu Yuanqing organized the words and continued: "The environment they are in is either a vast grassland or a desert Gobi, all of which are flat to endless terrain, plus these ethnic groups have few people, and they all live on horseback all year round, chasing water and grass to live, and have no fixed residence. So when they fail, they scatter and flee casually, or migrate to farther places, such as Mobei to continue nomadism, and only need a period of recuperation before they can become strong again and then make a comeback. And this is something Your Majesty never wants to see, and it is also one of the reasons why Your Majesty wants to paralyze Jieli. ā
"This is only one of the reasons, is there any bigger reason?" Cheng asked silently.
"Of course"
