readx; 'Habit' is a strength. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Wei Hong has been idle at home for so long, and he has begun to gradually get used to this relaxed life. At this time, a holy decree from Comrade Lao Li summoned Wei Hong into the palace, and Wei Hong's good words came to an end.

Comrade Lao Li has been busy with various things in the western border recently, and this time he summoned Wei Hong to the palace for this reason. From the former Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun outside the western border on the one hand continued to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and traded with each other in Chengfengxu and other places, ostensibly befriending the Tang Dynasty; However, on the other hand, Tuyuhun took advantage of the early establishment of the Tang Dynasty regime to frequently disturb the western border, and the eleven prefectures of Yanbian all suffered from it. Some time ago, due to the battle of Horsehair Mountain, Comrade Lao Li had no time to take care of Tuyuhun. Now, the Hui have settled down, and with the Hui containment, the Eastern Turks cannot make much move, and the northwest border is not too worried for the time being. At this point, Comrade Li was no longer willing to sit idly by and ignore Tuyuhun's evil deeds, and at the same time, in order to manage the obstruction of Sino-Western communications, he must teach Tuyuhun a lesson as soon as possible. Let it be in awe of the Tang Dynasty, or simply conquer it.

This kind of big thing, logically speaking, should not look for Wei Hong, after all, Wei Hong is a county uncle, famous and has no power, and he is not qualified to meddle at all. However, Comrade Lao Li discussed with Li Jing, Wei Zheng and others for a long time, but did not come up with a foolproof plan, so at Li Jing's suggestion, Wei Hong came over to help make suggestions.

When Wei Hong entered the Zichen Palace, Comrade Lao Li didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Tuyuhun in the west frequently violates the border, and he must be punished." But I can't find a solution, so I want to hear what you mean. ”

In the face of such a major national event, Wei Hong did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly brainstormed. Based on Wei Hong's understanding of Tuyuhun, in the past 30 years, the throne of Tuyuhun Khan has changed frequently, the country has been turbulent, and even under the attack of Emperor Yang of the former Sui, the regime has temporarily died. Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in the former Sui, he restored his homeland and expressed nominal vassality to the Turks. Although Tuyuhun cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty in any aspect, because of the support of the Turks, he has repeatedly violated the Yang of the Tang Dynasty, and in recent years, it has intensified and repeatedly attacked the western border of the Tang Dynasty. In dealing with such a country, we cannot reason with it, and force is the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Hong bowed his head and said: "Holy Lord, according to the minister's opinion, if you want to let Tugu Hun defend himself, there is only one way, and that is to strike at him militarily. Tuyuhun is not a strong enemy, and he uses thunder to attack him. Let Tuyuhun suffer some hardships, and he will naturally keep to himself and dare not make another mistake. ”

"How should you interpret the thunder method you are talking about?" Comrade Lao Li knew that Wei Hong would have a way, so he immediately asked.

Wei Hongyan said: "Send a team and station it in the west. When Tuyuhun attacks again next time, he will march in three ways, not only to drive Tuyuhun's army back, but also to go straight to the heart and hit its sharpness! Of course, the army that enters the territory of Tuyuhun should not be able to use elite troops and strong generals, but can be used for second- and third-rate troops. After all, Tuyuhun and the Turks are in a period of passionate love, and once we attack Tuyuhun, the Turks will not sit idly by! At that time, if we are unable to retreat in time, we will be besieged by the Turks who have rushed to support, and we may be in danger of being annihilated. The elite soldiers will never be able to lose, and the second- and third-rate armies will lose some, and Datang can afford it. ”

Hearing this, Comrade Lao Li frowned slightly: "It is a second- or third-rate army, and it is also a force." At the risk of annihilation, is it too costly to attack the hinterland of Tuyuhun? ”

Wei Hong shook his head and said bluntly: "No, this kind of investment and return is absolutely cost-effective!" The saint must know that the relationship between Tuyuhun and the Turks is ambiguous, and if Tuyuhun is conquered, the Turks will lose a lot of help, and the threat to the Tang Dynasty will be smaller. In addition, Tibet should not be underestimated. He said that once Tubo rises, it will be a big threat to my Tang Dynasty! The southern border of Tuyuhun is directly adjacent to Tubo, whether it is Tubo to open up territory in the future, or my Tang Anbian, Tuyuhun can be described as a battleground! Once Tuyuhun is conquered now, even if Tubo rises in the future, we will also grasp the opportunity! With a mere second- or third-rate army, to win the macro strategic opportunity, this is a rare deal, after this village will not have this shop! ”

In advance, Comrade Lao Li focused all his energy on Tuyuhun and the Turks, but did not take Tubo to heart. At this time, after hearing Wei Hong's words, Comrade Lao Li knew the important surname of Tuyuhun, and he also became wary of Tubo. After a short period of contemplation, Comrade Li nodded: "Okay, I already know what you mean, and I still need to discuss with Wei Zheng and Li Jing about how to act, so you can step back first." ”

Well, Wei Hong remembered the sentence 'come and go when it lingers', and he was depressed for a while. Leaving the palace, Wei Hong walked down the street, thinking about Tuyuhun in his mind. For Datang, the real threat is not Tuyuhun, but Tubo, a rising rookie. In a few years, Tubo will rise under the rule of Songtsen Gampo, and at that time, Tubo will become another strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty after the Turks. Although in history, the Tang Dynasty successfully conquered Tuyuhun and made friends with Tubo. But because of Wei Hong's arrival, the wheel of history has undergone subtle changes, and Wei Hong will become a sinner through the ages if he is not careful, so that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will evolve into another result.

Just when Wei Hong was thinking about how to act in the future, he was suddenly hit with a small stone on his head. Wei Hong turned his head and saw a figure standing at the mouth of an alley not far from him, hooking his finger at Wei Hong. Wei Hong recognized that person was Yan Ruyu at a glance.

It's not far from the palace, and it's heavily guarded, so what if you find out? Wei Hong's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly sent the guards around him away and walked into the alley. After making sure that no one around was paying attention to this side, Wei Hong's face was slightly unhappy and said, "Yan Ruyu, what's the matter with you?" When I got married, I just went to my house, after all, it was easy to look at, and ordinary people couldn't find out. But how do you say that you are here with your true face? What if it is discovered by patrolling soldiers? ”

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu shrugged her shoulders and said disapprerovingly: "If you find it, you will find it, can't I run if I can't beat me?" ”

"You ran away, so what about me? Didn't I and Hongyuan Commercial Bank suffer with you? Wei Hong said angrily, thinking to himself that Yan Ruyu, who was very shrewd, why was he so reckless today? (To be continued.) )
