Seeing that the Inner Court meeting was at an impasse, he got up and bowed to Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, this grassland matter is really a particularly incomprehensible problem, and the ministers have nothing to offer, but I, Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an of the Tang Dynasty, are good at whimsy and resourcefulness, and the minister proposes that His Majesty issue an edict to recall the King of Yong'an to return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to offer advice, and the famine of millions of people on the grassland will temporarily transport grain and grass to help the people of the grassland according to what Master Cui said, After King Yong'an offers a good plan, he will make changes. ”

The ministers also chimed in.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin immediately issued an edict to recruit Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, to return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Twenty days later, Li Xuan returned to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, from the front line of the grassland, entered the Taiji Palace, and met the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty told Li Xuan about the extremely dangerous situation on the grassland today, and hoped that Li Xuan could offer good advice.

Li Xuan pondered for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, according to what you just said, now the grassland has become a burden for my Tang Dynasty, and the entire grassland is harassed and attacked by the old department of Jieli Khan, and it is extremely difficult to pacify; The true pearl khan of the Xue Yantuo tribe, Yi Nan, had two (er) hearts in his heart and intended to rebel; Millions of grassland people are waiting to be fed, and I, Datang, have the heart to provide for them, but I am powerless to follow them and have no strong strength. In this case, the rebellion on the grassland, the evil heart of Yi Nan, and the food of millions of grassland people will become a heavy burden for me, restraining most of my Datang's energy and strength. So can I, Datang, consider not moving forward and taking a step back? ”

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Take a step back?" How do I return the law? ”

Li Xuan remembered the war of the United States invading Iraq in the later generations, when the United States was also caught in the mudflats of Iraq, where the rebellions and attacks of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's old ministry were everywhere, and it was the attacks and cries of the Iraqi people for independence, and the Iraqi people were also hungry. In the rush to flee to other countries, the United States made a decision to withdraw US troops from Iraq, support the pro-US regime in Iraq, and build a pro-US army. Today's situation in the Turks is very similar to the situation in Iraq. Although the Tang Dynasty's crusade against the Turks was a just war, the United States overthrew Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq entirely for the benefit of the United States. For the sake of the oil on which the United States depends, but the current dilemma is very similar, and the solution can also be borrowed from the United States' solution to the Iraq problem.

Li Xuan said slowly: "Your Majesty, long before the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, my Datang had an agreement with the Turks, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan: the Quartet will join forces to get rid of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and after getting rid of the Turkic Jieli Khan, the original Han people in Yunzhong and Hetao will return to the Tang Dynasty; The vast grassland is divided into its own areas according to the respective strengths of Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan. Turki was the new khan of the Great Turkic Khanate. Nominally ruling the entire grassland, Yi Nan is the Khan of the Xue Yantuo Tribe, and Qi Bi He Li is the Khan of the Tiele Tribe, all of whom are subservient to the Tang Dynasty and enjoy the title of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "King Yong'an, what do you mean is that I, the Tang Dynasty, withdrew from the grassland, and first occupied the original homeland of our Han people, Yunzhong and Hetao, which were invaded by the Turks. The occupation was digested, and then the forces of Tuli and Qibi He Li were supported in the grassland to compete with the forces of the Tang Dynasty and the Zhenzhu Khan of the Xue Yantuo Department. Then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait for the opportunity to get rid of Yi Nan, and completely bring the entire grassland under the rule of my Datang. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if we do this, we can show the entire grassland that our Tang Dynasty is a great state that stresses faith and righteousness, even after defeating the Turkic Jieli Khan." My Datang is the strongest and most powerful, and my Datang still acts according to the covenant, so that I will win the trust of the leaders of the Turkic tribes and the people of the steppe.

And the grassland ruled by Jieli Khan was divided into three, and Qibi He Li would inevitably fully support Tuli. I, the Tang Dynasty, mediate in the middle, secretly support Tuli and Qibi He Li, and they will inevitably confront Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan in order to protect their respective interests, with Tuli's resourcefulness and Qi Bi He Li's martial bravery, so Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan is not to worry.

The territory on the grassland has been divided to the three people of Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan, and I can order them to suppress the old departments of the Jieli Khan in their respective territories, and I believe that in order to expand their respective strength and maintain the stability of their respective territories, they will definitely be very active in suppressing the old departments of the original Jieli Khan in their respective territories. And my Tang army is very unfamiliar with the grassland, dealing with those Jieli Khan's old department, it must be half the effort, but Tuli, Qibi He Li, Yi Nan they are different, they have all grown up on the grassland since childhood, very familiar with everything on the grassland, climate, terrain and tactics, dealing with those Jieli Khan's old department, will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, the effect is quite fast, and the effect is quite large.

In this way, the war on the grassland, the Yinan with a heart will be satisfactorily resolved, as for the famine of millions of people on the grassland? ”

Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "King Yong'an said quickly, how to solve the problem of famine among millions of people on the grassland?" ”

Li Xuan stood up, paced slowly and said: "Millions of hungry people on the grassland, almost all of them think that it is a huge burden, but the minister thinks that as long as they use it well, they are a priceless wealth.

Now on the grassland, no matter who is close to my Datang, Tuli, Qibi He Li, or Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan, who has a heart for my Datang, they don't have too much food in their hands, they can save so much, millions of grassland people, only I, Datang, have the food in my hands that can save so many people and need the most. Then my Datang can use these grains as a weapon to manipulate the situation of the entire grassland and do what is most beneficial to my Datang. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and wondered: "Food as a weapon? Can food still be used as a weapon? ”

Li Xuan replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is to use grain as a weapon. People tend to be profitable, and now I Datang has food in my hands that can save millions of people in the entire grassland, if the people on the grassland want to live, they must turn to my Datang. We can secretly fund some grain to Tuli and Qibi He Li, who are close to my Datang, so that they can use food as capital to attract all tribes in the grassland to join them and be loyal to our Datang, and Yi Nan buys the leaders of the tribes in the grassland, relying on nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry, but now on the grassland, what is most lacking is not gold, silver and jewelry, but what is most lacking is food that can survive. Therefore, as long as we support Tuli and Qibi He Li and send food to their tribes, there will immediately be many grassland tribes vying to join them and pay allegiance to our Datang. (To be continued.) )
