"We not only have to seize the right to lead the army, but more importantly, we also need the Turks to drag Li Xin, Li Xin's next target is Jiangnan, he needs to get Jiangnan's population and strategic space, and get Jiangnan, so that he can attack the Central Plains from south to north in three directions, our goal is to stop him in Guanzhong, just like we were forced by him to stay in Bingzhou. Even if we pay a price, we will let the Turks attack Guanzhong. Li Shimin snorted coldly and said.

Fighting for the world, either you advance or I advance, looking for any opportunity to get more development space, time is very important to seize the world, so Li Xin will attack Hedong at the most critical time, pull Li Shimin back from the Hebei battlefield, and let Li Yuan go to Li Shimin's military power, in order to curb Li Zhao's development.

Now Li Shimin is also ready to do this, let the Turks attack Li Xin, preferably this is a long-term war, so that Li Xin's soldiers and horses cannot attack Jiangnan, one step behind, step by step. Moreover, it can also weaken the power of the Turks when they fight each other with Li Xin.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others nodded, and their faces suddenly showed joy, even if the Turks could not support Li Zhao, as long as the Turks attacked Guanzhong, everything would be easy to say.

"As long as this thing is done well, it is not necessarily a bad thing." Fang Xuanling was still a little worried, it was not easy to control the Turks, but Fang Xuanling said again: "My subordinates are afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will oppose it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by the children of the Shandong family, and there are some powerful children of the Prefecture, and the Turks will inevitably be affected when they enter the Central Plains." ”

"He's against it, though. But my father would not object. Li Shimin said proudly: "As long as you can defeat Li Xin and seize the world, my father thinks that even if it is a little price, it is okay." As long as the country is there, everything is very easy to say. The Central Plains is so big, there are so many people, even if the Turks are very brave and good at fighting, but they are only a sharp sword in our hands, how can there be any turmoil? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and the empire was completely pointed. The biggest person in power is still His Majesty the Emperor, Li Yuan's temper is not very good during this time, in the final analysis, he was fooled by Li Xin. The original attack on Luoyang was actually because he was forced by interest, and now that Luoyang's defense has been built again, it may be difficult to raid Luoyang, so Li Yuan is thinking about developing eastward. The development direction proposed by Li Shimin at that time. It was put on the agenda again, but the troops were insufficient, and if the Turks joined now, Li Yuan might not be able to resist this temptation. At least in the official face of Jinyang, Pei Lin has said more than once that he asked the Turks to take action. Who is Pei Lian, he is Li Yuan's confidant general, since Pei Lin said so, Li Yuan may think so in his heart.

"Mobilize more people. But if the military power is not in my hands. Don't do such a thing. Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "If you want to master the Turks, this kind of ability is not something that anyone can do, Li Yuanji can't do it, and Li Xiaogong can't do it." ”

"Only the King of Qin has this ability, so that the Turks are willing to obey our command." The eldest grandson Wuji was full of confidence in Li Shimin, only Fang Xuanling frowned inadvertently, he was not doubting Li Shimin, after all, there was still a lot of pressure on public opinion to lead the Turks into the Central Plains.

"The reason why Li Xin let us go last time was because he was afraid of the Turks, if he knew that we were cooperating with the Turks this time, I don't know what he would think in his heart?" Li Shimin said proudly.

"What else, I'm afraid that we will gather soldiers and horses to appear in Hedong, be careful that we attack Hedong!" Liu Wenjing said proudly. Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

In fact, the Turkic and Li Yuan's hookup did not last long at all, and Jinyang's spies quickly sent the news to Chang'an, which made Li Xin, who was planning to attack Jiangnan, a blow to him.

"This Li Yuan is also too shameless, he actually colluded with the Turks, don't you know that the Turks are our biggest enemies in the Central Plains?" In the Wude Palace, several Wude Hall scholars and Wuyingdian scholars gathered together, and even Li Jing and Pei Renji rushed over, but they said that this was the top place in the Guanzhong Imperial Court.

"Li Yuan is in a hurry, the prime minister's surprise attack last time scared him, he lost Hedong, his territory is equal to disappearing half, Li Yuan, who doesn't have much strength in his own right, even if it is supported by the Dong family, I'm afraid it won't last long, he is desperate over there, how many soldiers and horses can he get, 100,000 troops? So how do the people under his rule live? Someone has to grow the crops! Li Yuan couldn't do anything about it. Pei Shiju touched his beard and said.

"Collusion with the Turks, this is a great sin." Li Xin said viciously, he glared at Pei Shiju with dissatisfaction, in the eyes of these veteran politicians, as long as they can succeed, even if they make a little mistake, there is nothing, what they pursue is the result, not the process, in Pei Shiju's eyes, the Turks are a group of people who use brute force, spend a little price to enter the Central Plains, help themselves fight for the world, can help themselves save a lot of soldiers and horses, the bravery of the Turks, and will soon be able to pacify Youzhou and Hebei.

"What these people want is to follow the strategy of the prime minister back then, buy the Turks with money, and help them conquer the world, and take the path of mercenaries." Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "Although the strategy is very good, you can get a large number of soldiers and horses in a very short period of time, but in fact, I don't know that the prime minister of the year is brave and brave, and the alien races in the northwest are also like a mass of scattered sand, the prime minister is brave, and the general is like a god, which will control the alien race, at that time, the prime minister has the upper hand, and all the ethnic groups in the northwest are on the verge of life and death, so they will obey the prime minister's dispatch, but in Li Zhao, it is different, in terms of strength, Li Yuan is not as good as the Turks, and even more so on martial arts, on the use of soldiers, There is only one Li Shimin, they have the upper hand, this is drinking to quench their thirst, and sooner or later there will be a big problem. ”

"You say, will Li Yuan agree to this matter?" Li Xin also hesitated, so far, Li Yuan did not give any answers, but the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin Li Shimin faintly revealed their opinions.

"Yes." Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and soon gave the same answer, then Du Ruhui said: "Prime Minister, Li Yuan obviously knows that this matter is dangerous, but he will still agree, he urgently needs to occupy Youzhou and Hebei, only in this way can he be qualified to fight with Prime Minister Cheng, even if this matter is stained on his reputation in the end, he doesn't care, as long as he can seize the world, after a few decades, if he finds a way to destroy the Turks, who will say about him?" ”

"Since this is the case, then we will deduce according to this Li Yuan's condition of accepting Li Yuan, what should we do if the Turks join the ranks of the Central Plains for hegemony." Li Xin's eyes flickered, since he couldn't change this fact, then find a way to solve the matter in front of him and how to deal with the upcoming predicament.

"Since Li Yuan wants the Turks to join in, his subordinates think that it is not just as simple as letting the Turks act as thugs, the battle for hegemony, you advance and I retreat, step by step ahead, step by step, the prime minister is now in the leading position, and the army under his command is ready to fight south, fighting for the land south of the Yangtze River, so if his subordinates are Li Yuan, he will definitely find a way to contain the prime minister and let the prime minister's soldiers and horses stay in Guanzhong temporarily, so that it may not be able to stop the use of troops by the prime minister relative to Jiangnan, but at least the time can be delayed a little, His soldiers and horses can attack Hebei, or attack Youzhou very simply, as long as he wins one of them, his living space can be much larger, so his subordinates think that the Turks will definitely attack Guanzhong before our southern expedition. As the head of the minister, Pei Shiju spoke first.

"Yes, what Master Pei said is very true, the Turks will definitely make a move, and the direction of their attack may be Liangzhou, Hedong or even Chang'an, Guanzhong." Du Ruhui nodded and said: "The subordinates think that it is very likely that the Turks will attack Guanzhong, Liangzhou is a barren land, the terrain in the east of the river is dangerous, the Turks are at least not good at attacking the city now, and Su Dingfang's army is stationed with an army of 50,000 people, which is enough to resist the attack from the north, but only Guanzhong, Guanzhong has a large population, it is a place of ointment, if you attack Guanzhong, it will not only deter the prime minister, but also obtain more gold and silver treasures." ”

"Guanzhong? You mean the Longshan Trail? Li Xin looked at the Longshan Trail in Longxi, attacking Guanzhong from the Longshan Trail, there was no strong pass fortress, although there were some cities, but for the Turks' powerful bows and arrows, it was nothing, but it was able to break through the Daodao defense line and attack Guanzhong in ten days. Once the Turks are allowed to invade Guanzhong, it will have an extremely adverse impact on the development of Guanzhong.

"Yes, it is the Longshan Trail, which can be walked by the Cheng for quite a few years, and the Turks can also walk." Du Ruhui said loudly: "Although the path from Longshan is not very easy to walk, it can still march normally, and it can avoid the troops of Shuo Fanghou and directly attack the hinterland of our Guanzhong, even if it fails in the end, but the prime minister, the biggest loss is our Guanzhong!" ”

Li Xin's face was gloomy, and he also believed that Li Yuan must have seen this, and he would definitely attack himself, delay his own attack on Jiangnan, and give himself enough time to meet him.

"So, our soldiers and horses still need to stay in Guanzhong for a while, and if the Turks don't make a move, we won't be able to attack Jiangnan?" Li Xin's face was not good-looking, and now all the materials needed for the southern expedition had been prepared, and he suddenly said that he would wait for the Turks to come to the door at home, which made Li Xin extremely uncomfortable.
