In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin discussed Turkic affairs with Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Li Ji, and Hou Junji. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The rise and fall of the Turks is inextricably linked to the Tang Dynasty, a unified Turk is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and a Turk that has been at war for many years is also in the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, the resumption of the Silk Road was an established national policy.

In today's world, we should open the door to foreign lands, conduct business with other countries, and promote our own development. For the future of the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road must be opened. Although the Silk Road did not pass through the Turks, it was difficult to ensure that the Turks would not destroy the narrow strip of land from Liangzhou to Ganzhou. The Turks have extraordinary influence in East Asia and Central Asia, and have an unforgettable hatred with the Tang Dynasty, so it is necessary to defeat the Turkic Jieli and support the new lord loyal to the Tang Dynasty. At present, Tuli and Yinan, who are friendly to the Tang Dynasty, were stabbed in the back by the little Xi clan, which made the war situation develop in a direction favorable to Jieli, which could not be ignored by Li Shimin.

This Xi clan and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty are like two nails, one of the east and one firmly nailed to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if Jieli wins, he must use these two places as horns, and he can easily threaten the entire Shandong region. Now the Xi clan and Jieli are in cahoots and have threatened the safety of the Tang Empire. Whether it is for the sake of helping Tuli Yinan or the interests of Datang itself, this nail must be pulled out and its territory must be included in the territory of Datang, besides, the Xi people still have a lot of festivals like Datang.

In the third year of Wude, Gao Kaidao, who claimed to be the king of Yan, accepted the title of king of Beiping County in the Tang Dynasty and served as the governor of Ulzhou. The following year, Fu proclaimed himself King of Yan and raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. In the sixth year of Wude, he led the Turkic troops to attack Youzhou for the first time, and the Turkic soldiers repelled them. Unwilling to fail after Gao Kaidao and the Xi people colluded with the army to attack Youzhou, although the state soldiers repelled it, but the border Yizhou suffered heavy losses, the people were killed and wounded, after that, Dingzhou was also attacked by the Xi people many times, and the people were miserable.

"Your Majesty, the Xi clan has done a lot of evil! Now that they are in the middle of a war with the Tuliyi man, why don't we learn from him and serve his old nest in one pot. ”

"Your Majesty, since the three thieves of Yuyang Gao Kaidao, Shuofang Liang Shidu, and Ma Yiyuan Junzhang have been destroyed one after another, the territory of the Xi clan and the remnants of the previous dynasty has become the only flaw in my Tang Dynasty, just like the thorns in my Tang Dynasty's vest, full of dangers and hidden dangers, and the minister also thinks that it is better to remove it as soon as possible." Li Shimin's right-hand man, Fang Mou Du Du, took the lead in expressing his position.

At this moment, Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Father, the son has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise and said, "If the prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly!" ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said with his head held high: "Erchen thinks that the Xi people, ringworm, scabies, and local chickens and dogs can be broken with a snap of their fingers. Although its territory is embedded in the territory of my Datang, why is it not surrounded by my Datang on three sides? Therefore, Erchen thought that instead of taking down the Xi clan at his fingertips, it was better to stay in exchange for more benefits. Tuli, Yi Nan and Jieli Chen Bing confronted each other, and did not dare to have the slightest distraction, however, if the Xi tribe did not get rid of the big or small for a day, the two would suffer heavy losses, if the two of them did not care about it, how could they give an account to the tribe loyal to them? Tuli and Yi Nan are not fighting, and they are not fighting! Before winning a decisive battle with Jieli, begging my Datang to help him contain and destroy the Xi clan is undoubtedly the only way out. To sum up, Erchen thinks that it is better to raise it than to destroy it. ”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and found that Li Chengqian's plan was completely feasible, and the effect was much greater than directly exterminating the Xi clan.

Li Shimin was surprised and delighted, surprised that Li Chengqian actually came up with such a clever plan on the spot, and the analysis was reasonable, and he was happy that Li Chengqian was able to get rid of the pressure he brought to him, and was able to let his mind think about the problem, which was exactly the phenomenon he had been looking forward to!

Just as Qin Feng analyzed to Li Chengqian that day, Li Shimin hopes that his heir will have his own ideas and opinions, rather than a submissive echo worm, only in this way can his heir make the Tang Dynasty go further and more brilliantly. Now, regardless of whether Li Chengqian's strategy is feasible or not, the growth in his state of mind alone is enough to make him overjoyed.

Li Shimin smiled a little ostentatiously and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, is the prince's strategy feasible?" ”

Du Ruhui thought about Li Chengqian's plan, and also thought that this was the best choice at present, so he said: "The prince's strategy is wonderful!" Minister, I'm a little anxious! ”

Fang Xuanling also agreed!

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and then at his right-hand man, and said proudly: "As the prince said, the matter of the Xi clan will be put aside for the time being, let's sit back and wait for the envoys of Tuli and Yi Nan to come and ask for help!" ”

"Father, the sons think that Tuli and Yinan should already have a way, we can secretly prepare for the Xi people in advance, and when the people of Tuli Yinan arrive, after their promise is fulfilled, we can use the power of destruction to get rid of this disease of ringworm."

"Well said!" Li Shimin's shooting was amazing. Concrete arrangements are about to be issued. Suddenly, the news came that Qin Feng wanted to see him.

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "This kid has sent some good news!" He wasn't sure that Qin Feng was here for this matter, but he knew that Qin Feng would not come to him for no reason at this critical point where he was about to get married, and it was likely that he was here for Turkic affairs.

Qin Feng was informed and strode towards the Manna Palace.

Since he promised to introduce Li Shimin to He Luohu and Ashina's association, his date with Zheng Liwan could only be terminated, seeing Zheng Liwan's face flashing a trace of reluctance, he also knew what the other party was thinking, and felt guilty, and said that he would make up for it in a few days.

Zheng Liwan got the promise, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

A group of four people returned to Chang'an with the Jieli killer who had lived for the rest of their lives, Zheng Liwan knew that Qin Feng was in trouble, so he went home on his own, Qin Feng could only leave halfway with great apologies, and then led He Luohu and Ashina to the palace.

After coming to the palace and handing over Jieli's killer to the guards, except for Qin Feng, who had the entrance and exit cards, could not enter unimpeded, so they could only leave them outside the palace, wait for the call, and go to face the saint alone.

Qin Feng walked into the Ganlu Palace, but saw that the key figures in the hall, such as Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji, were all in the hall.

Look at the seven people in the Hall of Manna. Qin Feng thought to himself: "Presumably, he is also plotting against the Turks!" Thinking like this, he stepped forward and said, "Qin Feng has met Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and all your lords!" ”

"Excuse me!" Li Shimin smiled, Li Chengqian also hung a happy smile, after his own strategy was adopted by Li Shimin, he also felt Li Shimin's joy of showing off, so he was very grateful to Qin Feng who reminded him.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji had a good impression of Qin Feng, and they all nodded one after another.

"The virtuous nephew is here for the Turks? I am deliberating with the ministers at a critical point, so you might as well sit in and give your opinion! Li Shimin knew that he might come for the Turks, which were the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty and the most critical first step for the Tang Dynasty to march into the Western Regions.

Listening to suggestions and gathering the wisdom of all people is the only way to defeat the enemy. Li Shimin privately called Qin Feng a virtuous son-in-law, and when he was in front of a large number of people and had not yet finished his marriage, it was naturally not easy to call him at will.

Qin Feng said: "Your Majesty, the little nephew is here for the matter of Gaochang in the Western Regions, and the situation is urgent!" At the moment, he also told the matter of saving He Luohu and Ashina's association rate one by one, of course, he still kept an eye on the details, and hid Zheng Liwan, just saying that he was in a panic when he saw the punishment of the sky, and went out to walk the horse in order to maintain its wild nature.

Hearing this news, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji and others all smiled one by one. Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to come up with his plans one by one.

Qin Feng sighed with emotion in his heart, if he is really a hero of Lao Tzu, this calculation is not weaker than others! It's no wonder that there is a kind of rebellion against his own Lao Tzu.

Li Chengqian's strategy is indeed good, and it can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.

The Xi people are not qualified to become Datang's henchmen, but they exist in the strategic arteries of Northeast China, and they are always a time bomb for the security of Datang Northeast. In the case of the unification of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi people have only two choices, either surrender and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, or wait for the Tang Dynasty to clean up. However, for the Tang Dynasty, the former is better, because the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Goguryeo, and it is always bad to leave the back road to others. The Xi people did not submit to the Tang Dynasty like history, and chose to take refuge in Jieli, which just gave the Tang an excuse to annihilate them.

The Xi people participated in the Turkic civil war, and the troops in the territory were empty, which was the best time for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and the territory could be connected at the lowest cost.

The arrival of He Luohu can be regarded as an additional harvest for Datang. With the insidiousness of the old foxes of Datang, it would be really strange not to blow up a few catties of oil from the Tuli Yi man.

"Do you know the purpose of He Luohu?" Li Shimin asked, only when he understood the other party's purpose and hole cards, he could bet. So, everyone also looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had already prepared, on the way back to the city this time, he had already set the association rate of He Luohu and Na Shi Na almost, although He Luohu said that he was old, but in terms of scheming, which was Qin Feng's opponent, that Shi Na association rate was a rough person, and he was eager to tell the great achievements of his ancestors for the eighteen generations.
