Chapter III: Pre-War Seminars
Jieli united the sixteen tribes, leading tens of thousands of hungry cavalry with gold stars around the Shuozhou border, constantly wandering.
This move made Shuozhou's Sima and Thorn Shishi as valuable as if they were facing a great enemy, and they rushed into Chang'an with two six-hundred-mile letters.
When the urgent letter entered the palace, Li Er was enjoying a warm foot massage in the hibiscus tent, and the new skills that Empress Changsun learned from the Chang'an Business Club saw that Li Er liked it, so he was out of control since the first time, and he had to give Li Er a foot bath once or twice a day.
"Your Majesty, Shuozhou Urgent!" Bai Mei hurriedly entered the house, lowered his head, and held the letter, for fear of disturbing Li Er's Yaxing.
"Oh?" Li Er half-sat up from the recliner, took the letter, glanced at the fire paint intact, opened the envelope casually, stared at the envelope, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling.
Jieli became more and more stupid, and the sixteen departments were surrounded by the border of Shuozhou, and the ghosts could see his thoughts, but he actually announced that he was here to hunt.
The first battle of the Turks had already been heard, and he had been fighting for nearly twenty years at the age of thirty, and Jieli's mentally handicapped method and face were embarrassing in front of his eyes. Li Erle is happy, he has to wait patiently, fight with wolves, and be more cunning and forbearant than wolves.
I have to say that Jieli's move is really stupid, there is a natural disaster in the Turks, the first thing he thought of was not to appease and do a good job of internal work, but to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty to train troops, and fools can see that he is guarding against the Tang Dynasty, why should the powerful Turks guard against the weak Datang?
There is only one explanation, and that is because there is a huge crisis within it.
Taking advantage of the decline of the Turks, there was a wave in the court, and the ministers took turns to write to Li Er asking for troops to attack the Turks. Li Er was not in a hurry, and ordered a team of luxury cars to drive to Xujiazhuang to pick up Xu Yang into the court.
When the angel of the decree arrived in Xujiazhuang, Xu Yang was taking his three wives to pick persimmons happily, and the round persimmons falling into the net pocket can always bring boundless joy to people, even the always taciturn princess couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
I heard His Majesty summoning me. Xu Yang washed his hands unhurriedly, the Turkic snow really happened, and the ancients did not deceive me.
The angel who announced the decree saw that Xu Yang was so leisurely, and he didn't have a temper at all, if he couldn't see why His Majesty used the highest standard to take over, he would be considered to be the head of the five-grade Ministry of Rites.
The convoy that greeted Xu Yang was not luxurious. Four horses together, only one less than the emperor, this is the highest etiquette for ministers.
Four horsepower is much faster than two horsepower, from Xujiazhuang to the imperial city all the way through, only half an hour to the palace.
Wait until the eunuch who pronounced the decree is summoned. was taken to the imperial study, which was already full of people, all of whom were prime ministers of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong, Wei Zheng, etc., and the generals included Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and others.
"Boy, you're here." Cheng Yanjin walked up first, and a big hand bigger than Xu Yang's face slapped Xu Yang's shoulder, almost giving him a stumbling slap.
"Hello Uncle Cheng." With a wry smile, Xu Yang raised his head and had to say hello to Lao Cheng.
"Hmm." Lao Cheng exhaled into his nose. "Come and discuss it, just wait for you, a disciple of the Ghost Valley."
In fact, with Xu Yang's qualifications, it would take two thousand years to speak among these many bigwigs, but with a diploma from Guigu, he has always been very valued by these people. So most of the words are made by letting him speak first.
"See your uncles, meet Your Majesty." Xu Yang still feels a sore shoulder, and sure enough, these generals pinching themselves are no different from pinching chickens.
Li Er sat on the front seat of the imperial study, this time there was no high throne, and it seemed more real and approachable.
"No courtesy." Li Er waved his hand lightly, "This time, the elite of the Tang Dynasty is here to discuss the current Turks." Do I want to send troops in Datang? ”
Although Du Ruhui's body was not as good as before, he still stood up and said, "Rong Di has no faith. In the end, if you do not take advantage of its confusion and attack. I will regret it later. Those who seek chaos, invade the dying army, and the ancient way is also"
Li Er's narrow Danfeng eyes did not show the slightest denial or affirmation, at this time Wei Zheng also stood up, "The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time, Datang and Jieli are brothers to each other, and it is unrighteous to send troops first, and I Datang can't send troops with unrighteous reason." ”
Wei Zheng deserved to be pulled up by Li Er, almost exactly the same as Li Er thought.
According to Li Er's previous practice, when the enemy is hungry, it is almost the moment of surprise victory. However, this time, in the face of the Eastern Turks' starving soldiers and horses, Li Er shook his head.
"I, the Tang Dynasty, formed an alliance with the Turks not long ago, and now I continue to betray him because I don't believe it; It is unkind to regard the calamity of others as one's own happiness; To take advantage of the danger of others to achieve victory is not to be martial. Even though all of Jieli's subordinates betrayed him and all six animals died, I still couldn't beat him, and I had to wait until he was guilty before attacking. After Wei Zheng spoke, Li Er expressed his opinion without waiting for others to speak.
Some people in history say that Li Shimin is really hypocritical, if he wants to fight, he will fight, what is he pretending?
People who think like this only know about military affairs, not political affairs, and even less about people's hearts. If Li Er didn't say that, many people would surely understand his hard work. Li Er's original intention should be as follows:
has just formed an alliance with others, and now it is betrayed, which is very detrimental to the credibility of Datang in the future; Attacking while others are in danger of disaster will wipe out all the centaurs, and we want people's hearts, not the earth; The betrayal of other tribes may not be a good thing for Datang, and it may not be a good thing for Jieli to be not arrogant, I have to wait until Jieli makes a mistake and then attack in one fell swoop, which is good for reputation, people's hearts, and morality.
If he is wise and foolish, Li Er, who is more than thirty years old, has already become a real wise man.
There was silence in the court, because most of the people were the main battle faction, no one thought that the idea of the emperor's majesty turned out to be like this, everyone is a smart person, a piece of land that will be lost at any time and the credibility of the Tang Dynasty must be clear, everyone knows which is more important, so after Li Er finished speaking, no one came in to attack Jieli.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, Li Er was also a little uncomfortable, and waved his hand, "This is just my idea for a while, I want to listen to the opinions of the audience Aiqing, and everyone can speak freely." ”
None of the people came out to speak, and it seemed that this matter had already been decided, so now not to attack Jieli, and then send troops to attack him in one fell swoop when he showed his flaws.
Li Er doesn't like to be arbitrary, he likes to admonish, so he will set up the reward of Nadona, and he can also see Li Er's political tendencies by pulling Wei Zheng with one hand, so the current dull hall makes Li Er feel very uncomfortable.
"Xu Guigu, you come and talk to me about what you think." Li Er named.
Xu Yang originally wanted to sit in the back row and get by, but he didn't expect that this time Li Er actually named himself, and suddenly felt embarrassed that he was caught by the counselor when he returned to college to play with his mobile phone in class.
"The minister thinks that His Majesty's words are reasonable and should be done." Xu Yang didn't know what to say.
Li Er waved his hand irritably and said, "I don't want to hear you say praise or disapproval, I want to hear your views on attacking the Turks." ”
Xu Yang's forehead was sweating, and he had any opinions, but with a flash of inspiration in his head, Xu Yang suddenly remembered a post he had seen some time ago about Li Erzheng's Turkic.
He bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Jieli is unkind and unjust, the minister has already heard of it, such as the matter of blocking Tongye from coming to my Tang Dynasty marriage a while ago, and the matter of not being in harmony with Xue Yantuo, so the minister listed the six Western Turkic crimes for His Majesty." ”
Li Er's eyes really flashed, this is what he wanted to hear. "Xu Aiqing, come quickly."
"Returning to His Majesty, Jieli indulges in violence, punishes loyalty, and rapes, one also.
Xue Yantuo and other tribes all rebelled, and the second also.
Tuli, Tuo, and Desire Valley are all offended, and there is nothing to be ashamed of, and the three are also.
The frost in the north is early, the grain is scarce, and the four are also.
Jieli sparses his race, pro-commission Zhuhu, Hu people repeatedly, as soon as the army comes, there will be internal changes, five also.
The Chinese entered the north, and there were many of them, and they gathered together in the small hall where they heard, and they were protected from the mountain danger, and the army went out of the fortress, and they naturally responded, and they were also six. These six sins should be punished, and the minister hopes to go out to the Turks this winter. (To be continued) R655
