Li Xiu and his entourage left in the sound of everyone's thanks, and then hurried to Chang'an, because Li Xiu wanted to know the purpose of Tuli's sudden coming to Chang'an, and he thought it should be related to the Turks, after all, after Tuli took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, he was placed in the grassland close to the Tang Dynasty to live, becoming a buffer between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

"Donny Ma, this Tuli is still so arrogant as a general, you must not let him go after returning to Chang'an, you must join him in front of His Majesty!" On the way back, Yang Dui was still a little annoyed, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally couldn't sit idly by when he saw the alien race oppressing the people on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm afraid that even if the horse personally participates in the Turkic book, it will be difficult to have any big impact on the Turks, after all, our Datang still needs the Turks to block the Turks from going south!" As soon as Yang Dui's words fell, Shangguan Yi suddenly shook his head and sighed, he saw the pattern between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks very clearly.

"Even if you can't take Tuli, you must punish him, lest he oppress the people like this again!" Although Yang Dui knew that what Shangguan Yi said made sense, he still said hard-mouthed.

"Things definitely can't be left like this, I will also go to Your Majesty in person, but just like You Shao said, our Datang still needs Tuli for the time being, so Your Majesty will not punish him too much, but I'm very curious now, why did Tuli suddenly come to Chang'an?" Li Xiu finally spoke at this time, and when he said the end, his face once again showed a thoughtful look.

Hearing Li Xiu ask about the reason why Tuli suddenly came to Chang'an, Yang Dui and the others also showed contemplative expressions, but after all, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Turkic side did not have much to do with it, so Yang Dui and they couldn't come up with any results after thinking for a long time, but finally Shangguan Yi suddenly spoke: "Don Ma, Xiaguan has heard a news related to the Turks, maybe it has something to do with the Turks' entry into Chang'an?" ”

"Oh? What's the news? When Li Xiu heard this, he immediately looked up at Shangguan Yi and said, he also valued this young man a few years younger than himself, no wonder he could become the prime minister of Datang in the future.

"Actually, the lower officials don't know if this news is accurate, but when the locust plague was raging, the lower officials heard that the northern grasslands also suffered from locust plagues, the pasture was devoured, and countless cattle and sheep starved to death due to lack of food......

"Yes, yes, yes~, I also heard this news, it is said that the locust plague on the grassland still flew from us, they don't have life-saving sweet potatoes, as soon as the cattle and sheep die, the grassland people have nothing to eat, and many people should starve to death!" Before Shangguan Yi finished speaking, another official from the Ministry of Agriculture confirmed it, and as soon as his words fell, several people immediately echoed it, and it seemed that they had also heard about it.

"The grassland has also suffered from the locust plague, according to the habits of those grassland people, if there is no food, they will definitely go south to loot, and now it is the autumn festival again, it is a good time for the grassland people to go south, is it said that Jieli is ready to go south again?" Li Xiu immediately analyzed when he heard the news, and at the same time, his brows were tightly locked.

"It's very likely, after all, the grassland people have always regarded my Central Plains as a granary, and if they don't eat, they will go south to loot, and Tuli is not Jieli's opponent, he may have gotten the news in advance, so he came to ask His Majesty for help, after all, if Jieli wants to go south, he must pass through his territory!" Shangguan Yi said again at this time.

"By the way, last time His Majesty suddenly sent troops to destroy Liang Shidu, Liang Shidu has always been Jieli's minions, and Jieli is likely to take this opportunity to take revenge on our Datang!" Yang Dui also said at this time, the last time the Tang Dynasty destroyed Liang Shidu, Jieli has not moved, which is also very abnormal.

"If that's the case, that's bad!" Li Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, after locust plagues and droughts, the Datang Guanzhong region was already extremely exhausted, if there was a war with the Turks at this time, no matter whether he won or lost, it would make Datang even worse.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but be more anxious, and immediately sped up to Chang'an, Yang Dui and Shangguan Yi and others also knew the eagerness in Li Xiu's heart, so they all took the initiative to speed up, and the three-day journey took only one and a half days to go away, and when he came to Chang'an City, Li Xiu asked Yang Dui to take people back, but he didn't care about resting, and rushed directly to the palace to see Li Shimin.

"You're late, Tuli is the wicked person who sued first, saying that you intercepted him on the road and almost delayed the military plane!" As soon as Li Xiu came to the Liangyi Palace, he saw Li Shimin saying to him with a smile.

"Your Majesty must have made a clear judgment on this kind of trivial matter, but why did Tuli suddenly come to Chang'an, could it be that Jieli is going south again?" Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin was still in the mood to joke, and he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, and even wondered if he had guessed wrong, after all, if Jieli went south, Li Shimin should be anxious?

"I knew you should be able to guess that this locust plague and drought are not only affected by our Guanzhong, but also by the grassland, and the grassland people do not have the habit of storing food, which makes their disaster situation even more serious. Li Shimin smiled again, but he was not in a hurry at all in the face of such a critical situation.

"Your Majesty is so calm, does it already have a way to deal with it?" In the face of Li Shimin's abnormal performance, Li Xiu was puzzled at first, and then his eyes lit up and said, we must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially a generation of heroes like Li Shimin, in fact, if Li Xiu does not rely on his familiarity with history and mastery of knowledge beyond this era, he cannot be compared with a person like Li Shimin in other aspects.

"Haha~, you can take a look at this and understand!" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu's appearance, he couldn't help laughing again, and as he spoke, he picked up a document from the table and handed it to Li Xiu.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance in his chest, Li Xiu couldn't help but take the document with great curiosity, and then opened it gently, but when he saw the content on it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then showed a happy expression.

This is a canonization document, and the object of canonization is Xue Yantuo's Khan Yinan, in recent years, Xue Yantuo's strength has become stronger and stronger, many tribes that were originally dependent on the Turks have taken refuge in Xue Yantuo, making the current Xue Yantuo has become a powerful force in the east to the Yan, west to the West Turks, and south to the desert, which is a strong threat to Jieli.

"I see, Your Majesty is really a clever plan, Yi Nan can be canonized by His Majesty, and he can justifiably compete with Jieli Division, in this way, I am afraid that Jieli will not only dare not go south, but will try his best to have a good relationship with my Datang!" After Li Xiu read this document, he immediately slapped his thigh and applauded, this is the charm of diplomacy, who would have thought that a small document could actually stop the Turkic army from going south?

"Yes, Xue Yantuo has become Jieli's henchman, Jieli's biggest worry now is that we and Xue Yantuo are sandwiched between him from the north and south, plus he has also suffered a disaster, and his strength has been greatly affected, so as long as this news comes out, he will probably only try his best to protect himself, where do he dare to raise troops to the south?" When Li Shimin said the end, he couldn't help but laugh heartily again, he had worked the grassland for several years, and finally reached the situation he needed now.

"Your Majesty is wise, this document is worth 100,000 troops!" Li Xiu immediately praised that Li Shimin's hand was far beyond his imagination, in fact, on the way here, he never came up with any way to resist the Turks going south.

"Haha, this is not something I came up with alone, in fact, after Tuli reported the news that Jieli may go south yesterday, I discussed with Wuji and them overnight, and finally discussed such a feasible strategy, of course, the northern Xinjiang side can not relax, and even take the initiative to attack if necessary, so as to make Jieli more honest!" It was rare to be so praised by Li Xiu, and Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, I heard that you have been inspecting the situation of sweet potatoes in Xianyang and other places in the past few days, how about it, can this year's sweet potatoes allow the people to survive this winter?" After laughing, Li Shimin also cared about the purpose of Li Xiu's trip, compared with the Turks, he was more concerned about this year's disaster, after all, Guanzhong is the heart of Datang, as long as there is food in Guanzhong and the people are not chaotic, then Datang will not be in danger.

"Your Majesty, the minister inspected the three counties of Xianyang, Jingyang and Sanyuan, and found that the growth of sweet potatoes is not bad, especially the previous rainfall, which has alleviated the drought, and it is estimated that this year's sweet potato harvest is also good, but I also found that the food of the people around the country has been exhausted, and many people are hungry with wild vegetables and sweet potato vines, and some people are really hungry, so they will dig a few sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger, so this year can only say that they are hungry and do not die, but it is still a little difficult to eat with sweet potatoes." Li Xiu told what he had seen and heard at the moment.

"Yes, the people of Guanzhong are having a hard time this year, but fortunately there are sweet potatoes, otherwise I don't know how many people died under these two natural disasters!" According to the scale of this year's locust plague and drought, I am afraid that there will be starvation everywhere now, and the imperial court will not be able to raise enough food for disaster relief, and the number of people who will die by that time will definitely be tens of thousands, and Guanzhong will also be greatly turbulent, and the pressure on him will be even greater.

Thinking of the above, Li Shimin couldn't help but be even more grateful to Li Xiu and the bearded guest, especially Li Xiu, if he hadn't let the bearded guest bring back the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and corn, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the wicked person sued before Tuli, presumably Your Majesty already knows what happened, this person is arrogant and domineering, hurting people on the official road and not repenting, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will ruin Your Majesty's reputation, so please make plans as soon as possible!" Li Xiu suddenly said at this time, the matter of the Turks going south has been solved, so let's talk about the Turks, to be precise, it should be the arrangements for the Turks in the future!
