In that year, Li Ling was named the queen of the right school by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and was responsible for governing the area around Jiankun that was conquered by the Xiongnu at that time, and Jiankun happened to be the ancient name of the Huns. In addition, most of the people are red-haired and green-eyed, while the people who claim to be descendants of Li Ling are black-haired and black-eyed, which obviously has the characteristics of mixing with the yellow race. Therefore, the credibility of the chieftain of the Qiangs claiming to be a descendant of Li Ling is still very high.
The chieftain of the Gang was warmly received by Emperor Taizong. At the banquet, the chieftain who had successfully recognized his relatives drank happily and asked to belong to the Tang Dynasty. Taizong immediately agreed to set up the Jiankun Governor's Mansion in the jurisdiction of the Yanran Prefecture, which was subordinate to the Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate, and the chieftain of the Huangjia Dynasty, Tong Lifa, was appointed as the general of Zuotunwei and the governor of Jiankun.
Since then, the company has maintained friendly relations with Datang.
After hearing this, Zhang Bao'er thought for a moment and said: "Huangjiasi is in the north of the Turks, and we are in the south of the Turks, it is really not easy for them to come to the Tang Dynasty to cross the territory of the Turks!" ”
"Exactly!"
Zhang Baoer's heart moved, as if she had grasped something, lowered her head and thought deeply, speechless for a while.
Li Longji didn't know what he was doing, so he urged: "Do you want to say something, go or not?" ”
Zhang Bao'er raised her head and smiled: "Go, why don't you go, Your Majesty, we can't figure out that we are going to get rich this time!" ”
"Rich?" Li Longji asked puzzledly, "What kind of wealth?" ”
Zhang Bao'er said mysteriously: "Don't say it now, you won't know until you see the messenger at night, it's a good thing anyway!" ”
Seeing Li Longji's impatient appearance, Zhang Bao'er was afraid that he would get to the bottom of it again, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "The minister will retire first, go and see Brother Ying'er, I haven't seen him for a long time, I think it's panic!" ”
Li Longji quipped: "Bao'er, you are not too young, there are three beautiful girls in the house, and you should hurry up and give birth to a few sons, so you don't have to go to see Ying'er all the time!" ”
Zhang Bao'er blushed, forgot to give the salute, turned around and ran away.
When Li Longji saw Zhang Bao'er like this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
In the evening, Zhang Bao'er, Yao Chong and others participated in the banquet to invite the envoy of the Xuansian, Zhang Baoer, who has never liked to talk much in front of people, but he was unusual, and frequently toasted with the envoys of the Xuans.
"Come on! I'll give you another drink, the same clan as His Majesty, and it is by no means comparable to other Tibetan countries. ”
The messenger was moved again and again.
"The Turkic Khan is bent on dominating the Mobei steppe, causing great harm to the people of Huangjiasi, Your Majesty is anxious in his eyes, and he wants to clean up this scourge, please send the envoy to convey the Tang Emperor's mind to your chiefs. Come, let's have a toast together. ”
The messenger nodded hurriedly: "Certainly, definitely, come, do it." ”
If you can cooperate with the Tang Dynasty army in the future to attack the Turks in the north and south, then the end of the Turks will come."
The envoy was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly took the initiative to raise his glass: "If this is the case, it is not only the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, but also the blessing of the Qiangsi." ”
In short, Zhang Baoer became the protagonist of tonight's banquet.
No one knows why Zhang Bao'er is so interested in the Emissary of the Queath, and takes the initiative to get close to the Emissary of the Ques, which does not seem to be his character.
Yao Chong wanted to interrupt Zhang Bao'er several times, but when he saw that Li Longji was silent, he held back.
The dinner was over, and Yao Chong couldn't help complaining: "Dingguo Gong, you won't be drunk today, why did you say so many things that shouldn't be said?" ”
"What shouldn't be said?" Zhang Bao'er seemed to continue the previous excitement, he looked at Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty's imperial study has a map, and the minister will tell you about it." ”
"Is it about the border?" Li Longji became interested when he heard it.
"Exactly!"
"Okay, let's go, let's talk!" Li Longji couldn't wait to pull Zhang Bao'er away.
Looking at the figures of Li Longji and Zhang Baoer, Yao Chong shook his head and followed.
On the wall of the imperial study, Gao Lishi had already arranged for someone to hang a large map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji and Yao Chong listened to Zhang Bao'er talk endlessly for half an hour.
"Your Majesty, my thoughts are finished!" Zhang Baoer is still unfinished.
Li Longji and Yao Chong's eyes were still on the map, and they did not answer.
Zhang Baoer knew that they would have to digest for a while, so she had to wait patiently.
After a long time, Li Longji finally spoke first: "The Khitans are in the east, the Huangjiasi is in the north, the Turks are in the west, and the Tang is in the south, and the four directions are restricting the development of the Turks at the same time, which is a good idea. No wonder you're so interested in Queath, the original intention is here! ”
Zhang Bao'er said with a little regret: "This is the best opportunity to destroy the Turkic silence, but Lao Yao wants to concentrate on managing internal affairs, and it is not suitable to carry out large-scale conquests, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and limit his development." ”
Yao Chong said: "It's a good idea to deal with the Turks, I don't have any opinions, but there is one thing I don't understand, why spend so much effort to run the Western Regions?" The Tang Dynasty has the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions, and the four towns of Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule, and Xiaye are in our hands, and the countries in the Western Regions are also subservient to the Tang Dynasty, so why do they have to send people to manage the Western Regions to fight everywhere? ”
Zhang Bao'er sighed and said, "Because we have to prepare in advance to deal with Datang's biggest enemy." ”
"Isn't Datang's biggest enemy the Turks?" Yao Chong asked.
Zhang Bao'er shook his head: "If the Turks are the biggest enemy, even if your old Yao is against it, I will use this opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop." The reason why I agreed not to do anything to the Turks first, and wait until the country is strong and the people are rich, is because as long as we want to do it, we can send troops to destroy the Turks at any time. But the enemy I'm talking about is different, he can come to attack Datang at any time, but we can't do anything, even if we raise the strength of the whole Tang Dynasty, we can't destroy him. ”
Yao Chong was taken aback when he heard this: "Datang still has such an enemy? ”
Li Longji's heart moved, and he guessed on the side: "Bao'er, are you talking about Tubo?" ”
"Exactly! On the plains, the Tibetans were not very good, and they had no advantage in the face of the Tang army and the Turks. The advantage of Tibet is more reflected in the geographical advantage, and others cannot go deep into the hinterland of the plateau to attack him. Tubo occupies the advantage of the plateau, and is always in a strategic offensive with the outside world, even if it loses, as long as it shrinks to the mainland, others are helpless. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. The Tang Dynasty can arrest and destroy whom, but there is nothing they can do about Tibet. Even if he can break through the outer defense line of Tibet, he can't extinguish this trouble. Therefore, if we do not prepare in advance for Tibet, we will only be beaten everywhere. ”
"However, Tubo has always been quite friendly to Datang, and besides, Princess Jincheng only married to Tubo, how could they be enemies of Datang?" Yao Chong still didn't believe it.
