Regarding Li Shimin's use of his power to open up invincibility, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and others did not stop there, and dissuaded them many times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's just that Li Shimin has made up his mind, and with the support of Cheng Yanjin and his generals, the matter has been decided.

Although Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang were indispensable ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they were only courtiers after all, and they could not influence Li Shimin's thoughts. Li Shimin may or may not listen to their suggestions and opinions, or he will not listen to them, and the two of them will have no problem.

This is the feudal society, the dictatorial power of an emperor.

This matter must be that the state apparatus of the Tang Dynasty should follow suit.

Emperor travel, safety first!

Even if Li Shimin usually hunts alone to relax his spirits, it is still to go forward and back, at least to use more than 5,000 protective forces, not to mention this large-scale hunting conference, even more so.

The Zuowei Guards commanded by Du He were appointed by Li Shimin as one of the armies responsible for guarding the safety of the hunting grounds.

In the feudal society, the emperor's safety is greater than the sky, Du He accepted the order, immediately ordered 15,000 soldiers and horses, and went to the Gaoling hunting grounds.

Gaoling Hunting Ground is a plain that is wide for hundreds of miles, and the land is endless, in which the hills are undulating, the dense forests are everywhere, and the rivers are vertical and horizontal, which is a good place for hunting. When Li Shimin was young, he liked to shoot with bows and horses, and even when he became the emperor, he did not change this preference, and from time to time he used his free time to hunt for self-entertainment. In order to facilitate hunting, a hunting ground is placed in the Gaoling Circle so that you can travel from time to time.

Duhe is no stranger to this Gaoling hunting ground, and the championship of the mounted archery event in the brave competition was held in the Gaoling hunting ground. I still remember that when the competition was first held, because of an accident, he accidentally saw the picture of the princess Yao Chi of Xiangxiong playing in the water, and then killed two tigers in a row and saved Yao Chi's life. It seems that he has won the heart of the beauty.

Thinking of Princess Yaochi, Du He couldn't help but think of the scene at that time, and he was distracted by it, and said in his heart: "I don't know how she is doing now!" ”

In fact, there is still half a month before the agreed hunting day. However, although the Gaoling Hunting Ground is a nominal royal hunting ground, it also restricts the people from hunting, but the hunting ground is too large to be fully protected, and it is impossible to send troops to guard it in peacetime.

At the same time, the law of the Tang Dynasty is strict and loose, for the big ones are very strict such as adultery and murder, but for some small mistakes, it is a little loose, the hunters enter the Gaoling hunting ground to hunt, even if they are caught, they will not be punished very heavily, so there are always some bold hunters who enter the hunting ground to hunt, so the hunting ground must be isolated in advance to prevent all kinds of unnecessary accidents.

Of course, the most important thing is to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the opportunity to carry out any plans that threaten Li Shimin's safety.

The Gaoling hunting grounds are a hundred miles wide, and even if they mobilize 100,000 troops, it is not enough to do everything, they can only set up checkpoints at each key pass and fortress, and cannot surround the entire hunting ground.

According to the topography, the Zuowei Guard led by Du He was responsible for guarding the south and east of the Gaoling Hunting Grounds, while the north and west were the responsibility of other troops.

According to the terrain, Du He reasonably arranged 15,000 soldiers and horses on key roads, set up checkpoints, and shouted to the soldiers under his command: "Brothers, my eyes are brightened a little, and soon it will be the day of the field hunting conference, Your Majesty's safety is related to the sky, and no one can afford this responsibility if something happens." Keep a good watch over every suspicious person, and don't put Your Majesty in any danger because of our negligence! ”

As the emperor, Li Shimin has a high prestige in the army, and the officers and men of the whole army also shouted.

"Bereavement, Mingda, Rengui, and Jun sold your soldiers into four ways, each leading 500 men and horses to search the Gaoling hunting ground in a carpet manner, and first determine whether there are idle people in the entire hunting ground. If they are expelled from the city, if they do not comply, they will be captured and punished at the least, and they will be killed without mercy. Du He's expression was solemn, he felt that Li Shimin had ulterior motives for holding this field hunting conference, that is, this field hunting conference was not simple, and something was likely to happen. Since Li Shimin didn't say it, he could only take it step by step, do his duty, and not let this matter threaten Li Shimin's safety.

Fang Yiai, Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, and Xi Jun bought the order, and they clasped their fists together and said loudly: "The last general will take the order!" So saying, he led five hundred soldiers and scattered to search.

Du He said again: "Dezheng, you are responsible for guarding the main roads everywhere, don't be careless!" I went to the northwest to say hello to General Ashina. ”

Wang Dezheng also hugged his fists to lead his life.

Duhezema rushed to the northwest alone.

The general Ashina in his mouth is one of the famous foreign generals of the Tang Dynasty, called Ashina Sheer. He was the second son of Luo Khan of the Turkic Division, and at the age of eleven he was famous for his wisdom and bravery, and when he became an adult, he built a tooth banner in Mobei, and ruled the Tiele, Hui, Tongluo and other tribes with the son of Jieli Khan. Unlike other Turks, Ashina Sheer was not in the slightest belligerent, but followed the Tang Dynasty's relaxed policy of resuming the army to support the people, and did not collect taxes for ten years for the resident officials. But the chiefs despised him for not taking the opportunity to enrich himself, and Ashina Sheer said: "Since the tribe is abundant, it is enough for me." ”

Later, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, Ashina Sheer moved to the Western Regions, avoided the Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan for ten years, led his troops to the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the general of Zuo Xiaowei. Its tribe was settled in the north of Lingzhou.

Li Shimin saw that he was a talent, so he married his sister Nanyang Eldest Princess, and stationed troops in the royal garden, responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city.

Li Shimin was impartial to the surrendered foreign generals and did not treat them differently, so that many famous foreign generals were willing to serve him, but only Ashina Sheer was the most trusted by Li Shimin, and he had this honor and could be responsible for guarding Li Shimin's safety and guarding the gate of the imperial city for him.

In this field hunting ceremony, Li Shimin needs to transfer two armies from the Tang Army to guard. The first one he pointed out was Du He, followed by Zuo Xiaowei, the commander of Ashina Sheer.

The two armies were responsible for the security of the entire Gaoling hunting grounds, and mutual cooperation was essential.

As a junior, Du He went to say hello and discuss the situation of cooperation, which was to consider the overall situation.

Before coming to Ashina Sheer's camp, Du He asked the soldiers at the door to make a report.

After a while, a stout Turk strode out laughing, he was tall and heroic, his face was narrow, his nose and eyes were exactly the characteristics of a Turkic people, a red cloth was tied on his forehead, and a tight yellow samurai suit was inside his plain blue robe, plus a leather vest, and his cape made him look even more broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and his form was extremely powerful.

Both of them are generals in the DPRK and China, although they have no intersection, they know each other and have a decent relationship. In detail, there is still a little bit of kinship with each other.

Ashina Sheer showed great enthusiasm, and pulled him forward and invited him to speak in the tent.

The two of them sat down in the tent.

Ashina Sheer was the first to speak: "General Du came at the right time, Ashina is planning to send someone to invite you to my military camp to discuss the details of the defense of the Gaoling hunting ground, Your Majesty's safety is above all else, on this point Ashina feels that it is necessary for us to discuss in detail in case there is any unnecessary trouble." His face was solemn, obviously taking Li Shimin's safety to heart.

Du He is familiar with history, although he has not reviewed it for a long time, and only remembers some generals, but he still has some understanding of several generals who descended to the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, especially Ashina Sheer. All the famous ministers in history have a very high opinion of this general, he made great achievements to the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin died, he was at the peak of his career, and he was ready to give up all Turkic etiquette to Li Shimin to be buried to guard the mausoleum.

For this general who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Du He also replied with great affection: "The general and I are of the same mind, and I am here to discuss this matter with the general." ”

The two started a discussion on this topic.

Ashina Sheer is a Turkic people, the Turks are no strangers to field hunting conferences, in their Turks often hold similar activities, have rich experience, know those places are dangerous, those places can give the enemy an opportunity, in this regard Ashina Sheer put forward extremely valuable advice.

Du He's talent in military affairs is far better than Ashina Sheer, and he also has the true biography of Li Jing and Li Ji, and he is much more clever in handling things.

One of the two pointed out the problem, and the other solved it in a clever and concise way, and slowly formed a tacit understanding with each other.

Du He found that Ashina Sheer was more like a Han than ordinary Han people, although his appearance was that of a Turkic person, he was very polite in speech and demeanor, and had a humble character unique to Chinese people, and he got along very happily.

In view of the safety of the field hunting conference, they talked about it for two hours, sorted out the possible dangers, and then thought of a solution, so as not to let the interested people drill into control.

"Let's talk about what will happen after the field hunting tournament. The scale of this field hunting event is very large, and once it starts, it will be difficult to control the gathering of thousands of people. This increases the danger and the burden of protection. Although this is not a matter for our two armies, it is necessary to consider it in passing so as not to make mistakes. ”

They are responsible for the security of the periphery, and Li Shimin's own safety is in charge of Qianniuwei, who is in charge of guarding and serving the imperial soldiers, and will guard Li Shimin's left and right every time he goes out.

Ashina Sheer nodded and said: "This is also a problem, it is indeed not to be careless......" He was about to speak, when suddenly a guard walked outside and reported: "General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be your cousin, waiting for you outside." ”

Ashina Sheer's face stiffened, and he said, "I said that I was discussing business with General Du, and I will talk about his affairs later." ”

The guard said, "I have already told him, when he also said that there is something very important to discuss with you." ”

Du He didn't understand the situation and couldn't speak, but seeing that Ashina Sheer was a little embarrassed, he said: "General, it's still early, if you really have something, it's okay for me to wait for a while." ”

Hearing this, Ashina Sheer's face hesitated, and he sighed and walked out of the military tent.
