Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji's words were very pertinent, and Li Shimin couldn't help but start pondering. @樂@文@小@说|

How to deal with the Turks is a very important matter and must be handled with caution.

At that time, when he was in Jiucheng Palace, when he learned of the Turkic assassination for the first time, Li Shimin really had the urge to take the opportunity to purge the Turks.

But at this time, calm down and think about it, no!

Sending Tuli's son to Lingnan, if Ashina's association rate is caught, it must be a dead end, which can be regarded as Liwei and suppression.

So what about grace?

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said: "Xue Yantuo has grown too fast over the years, and he has to guard against his ambitions. In this way, give Ashnasimo the surname Li, and let him lead his troops to camp on both sides of the river for grazing. ”

"Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and others echoed in unison, in addition to patting sycophants, this trick is indeed clever.

After re-dealing with the Turkic people, and then using Ashina Simo, the overall rejection and nervousness of the Turkic people can be alleviated, and there will be no rabbits and dead dogs cooking and rebelling against the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Ashina Simo was also regarded as a famous Turkic general in the past, and let him lead his troops to garrison both sides of the river, that is, the overhead area of the Yellow River.

If a barrier is set up between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo, if Xue Yantuo wants to go south, he must pass through this area. Let the Turks become the barrier of the Tang Dynasty's border defense, this account is worth it.

Of course, we must guard against the possibility of the Turkic rebellion and collusion with Xue Yantuo, so we also need to be vigilant.

Ashina Simo gave the surname Li is an honor, but it is also a kind of moral "kidnapping", so that he does not dare to have two hearts easily; At the same time, his tribe was divided on both sides of the river, and except when it froze in the middle of winter, it was impossible to unite as one, and the strength and threat were naturally greatly reduced.

Meanwhile. There are also tens of thousands of Li Ji's troops stationed in Bingzhou, and they are always on guard against the Heshuo area. It must be weighed and weighed.

"But that's just it, I'm afraid it won't work...... Li Shimin sighed: "Ashina Association led out of Xiao Pass." It is likely to go to Xueyanta, or the Western Turks.

I received a secret report that Qiuzi and Gaochang in the west are not very stable, and if there is chaos on Xue Yantuo's side, I am afraid that it will ......."

This is indeed a problem, Xue Yantuo was originally a confidant, and it was usually fine, but this time the palace changed. The Turkic homeland is unstable.

If Ashina escapes and is stimulated by nonsense, God knows what Yi Nan will think, and what kind of actions will he have next?

After all, there is still the support and instigation of the Western Turks behind Xue Yantuo, which really has to be guarded against.

"Your Majesty's concerns are indeed a problem, I'm afraid Xue Yantuo's side does need some strategies, if it can't weaken its strength, it must be suppressed by sword soldiers, and they can't become the second Turk." The eldest grandson Wuji thought deeply about this.

"Weakened? How to weaken? Li Shimin sighed leisurely: "I really hope that there will be civil strife in Xue Yantuo, just like Tuli and Jieli did back then. Or a widespread plague on the steppe......"

Everyone at the bottom of the stairs couldn't help but be moved, and they all thought of the smallpox that raged in Tongzhou a few days ago, if the epidemic spread to the grassland area. So......

However, this move is too unreasonable, and the grassland tribes are scattered, except when the army is gathered, it is not easy for the plague to spread on a large scale.

"Your Majesty, in a few days it will be Yi Nan's birthday, and it stands to reason that the imperial court needs to send someone to congratulate Zhenzhu Khan on his birthday; When the time comes, the nearby tribes and states will send people there, and the Western Turks will be no exception, and they will inevitably instigate Yi Nan ...... when the time comes."

Fang Xuanling said: "We Datang can't let go of this opportunity, at least we can't sit idly by." ”

"What? What do you mean...... Take the opportunity to win over Xue Yantuo? Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty." It is not necessarily a co-optation, but it can also be a differentiation. The main thing is to explore its reality and reality, and the northwestern states gathered in the Xue Yantuo Khan tent. There must be a plan, and Datang should explore the inside situation and deal with it. ”

Li Shimin asked, "If you say that, send someone to envoy Xue Yantuo?" ”

"Your Majesty, anyway, when the time comes, you need to give a birthday gift to the True Pearl Khan, why don't you send someone who has the ability to go there and find out, maybe there will be a side harvest?" Fang Xuanling was very much in favor of this opinion.

"The auxiliary machine thinks so, too?"

The eldest grandson Wuji echoed: "What Fang Xiang said is very reasonable, Xue Yantuo will be a confidant sooner or later, and it is indeed necessary to investigate and guard against it as soon as possible." ”

"Who's going to send there?" Li Shimin immediately asked about the candidate.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "This ...... There is no suitable candidate in the minister's heart? ”

"Where's Xuan Ling?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to say who is suitable for this trip, the minister can't say; But at least a few conditions must be met, the person must be courageous, resourceful, courageous, preferably clever and able to adapt to changes. ”

"Well, there really has to be such a person, as for who to send, Rong Zhen will consider it again." Li Shimin nodded lightly when he heard this.

……

In the next few days, rumors were heard in the court.

The imperial court needed to send someone to Xue Yantuo to congratulate the true pearl Khan on his birthday. However, outsiders don't know the real inside story, and the conversation in the Chengqing Hall is the top secret of the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary people naturally won't know about it.

When the news came out, most people didn't care, usually speaking, this kind of thing was mainly presided over by Honglu Temple, and at most it was handled by the Ministry of Rites, and it had nothing to do with others.

What's more, it's just a birthday celebration, and it's just a trip to Xue Yantuo, nothing special. In the wilderness of Saibei, although the scenery is good in autumn, but the road of thousands of miles, the carriage and horses are tired, who is willing to suffer from that?

So no one cares about it, as for who will send the envoy, it's better to wait for the imperial court to appoint it, right? When the time comes, let's see which unlucky guy is lucky.

Xie Yi never thought that he would be this unlucky bastard, he was a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, the chief of the Jin Prince's Mansion, and a gentleman who taught and educated people, not a diplomat.

Therefore, the envoy Xue Yantuo will definitely not be able to give such a thankless task as the Khan birthday congratulations.

Seeing that the weather was gradually getting cooler, he was thinking about when to take Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan on an outing to see the beautiful scenery of Chang'an.

But I never expected that one day, after the court meeting that "focused on participation", the chamberlain suddenly found himself and claimed that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him alone.

Well, what did His Majesty Li Er summon himself alone for?

Xie Yi couldn't help but be confused, and walked into the Chengqing Hall with some trepidation, and then saw the face of His Majesty Li Er who was not angry and arrogant, but with a slight smile.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er said leisurely: "Xie Yi, I plan to send you an errand ......" (to be continued) >
