903, false road felling, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge
"You Xi people want to return their territory, this is reasonable and legal. The Goguryeo people were aggressive, not only invading our Central Plains, but also constantly invading the Xi and Tatar tribes in the north, which was simply an invasion of the territory of various countries. And they stole the territory of our Datang, as well as the Xi and the Tatar people, and it is a very righteous act for us to recover the territory. Therefore, we Datang will definitely support it! Jingwen first said righteously.
And when Li Shimin heard Jingwen's words, he immediately wanted to be angry, after all, Jingwen was too "generous" when he said this. Because the land of the Xi and the Taya people is also within the target range of this Datang. If these lands are given to the Xi and Tatar people, then the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be much less. And Li Shimin has universal geographical knowledge of Guò Jingwen, but he knows that this is the Sanjiang Plain in the northeast, if it is given to the people of the Xi and Jing tribes, then the Tang Dynasty will not have a lot of fertile arable land? The Northeast Plain can become one of the granaries of the Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible for Li Shimin to give it to others.
But Jingwen actually said what he was saying now to support the Xi people to claim back their land, which is simply cutting meat on Datang's body, which completely makes Datang lose a granary. So Li Shimin was almost angry, after all, Jingwen allocated it to others so generously, but without the consent of Li Shimin, the emperor and the commander.
And the Xi people immediately said excitedly: "Long live Datang, Datang is really worthy of being the teacher of benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains, and it is really benevolent and righteous enough!" ”
Li Shimin listened to the words of the leader of the Xi clan, and the corners of his mouth twitched, how do you look at this, how does this look like Li Shimin is Yang Bailao? So Li Shimin immediately stood up and wanted to take back Jingwen's words.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, listen to the ministers continue!" Jingwen said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin listened to Jingwen's words and finally sat down, but he looked at Jingwen very unkindly, obviously very dissatisfied with Jingwen's "generosity".
"This chief. Since you are asking for the return of the habitat, it is very just. But then our Datang asks to go back to their own land, that is also very just, right? Jingwen asked.
And the leader of the Xi clan immediately said: "Yes, it is also very righteous for the Tang Dynasty to claim back his own land!" ”
This Xi clan didn't want to answer without thinking about it, after all, Datang asked for his homeland, which was of course just. If he denies the justice of the Tang Dynasty's claim for the territory, it is also a denial of the justice of his own territory, so the leader of the Xi clan can only recognize the justice of the claimed territory. And the leader of the Xi tribe didn't realize that there was a huge pit in it, so they were probably going to be unlucky.
And Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.
"The leader of the Xi clan. We don't want any of your territory, we just want to take back our land during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Jingwen said casually.
"No problem!" The leader of the Xi clan agreed without thinking about it.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Gao Kan next to Li Shimin suddenly coughed for a while.
Gao Kan really didn't expect that Jingwen would send this leader of the Xi clan so easily. Because what Jingwen said was the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty set up three counties in Liaodong in China. The three counties of Liaodong are also Liaodong County, Xuansu County, and Lelang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. And this is the land range of the three counties, if in the words of later generations, it is the current territory of Goguryeo, and then most of the territory of the Korean Peninsula is included in the three counties of Liaodong. The northern border of the three counties of Liaodong is the Fushun generation of Shenyang in later generations, which can be said to be a very fertile generation.
And if Jingwen really wants to use the topic to play, then I am afraid that some domestic "literati" can completely make some evidence at that time. Then it shows that the entire Northeast Plain is the land of these three counties, so that the most elite land in the Northeast is occupied. The plain generation can not only grow grain but also graze, so it is very helpful for the Han people and these Xi and Ya people. So what they're fighting for is this core. Northeast Plains.
However, Jingwen can completely use the name of the three counties of Liaodong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then draw these Northeast Plains into his own hands, so that the Xi and Yan tribes can only go to the mountains and forests in the Great Xing'an Mountains. Therefore, Jingwen's words are definitely uneasy and kind. Therefore, the Xi and the Ta tribe are going to suffer a big loss.
As for the Xi and the Yan tribes, they couldn't discover Jingwen's conspiracy at all, because they didn't even have their own writing, and they couldn't have any cultural inheritance at all. Plus the Northeast area. As early as hundreds of years ago, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, neither the Xi nor the Ta people were able to rise, and other ethnic groups began to occupy the northeast in that era. Therefore, they could not obtain information from word of mouth, and they did not know where the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty was mentioned by the Tang Dynasty. So they agreed very happily, thinking that they could agree to Datang's request. After all, they still need the Tang Dynasty to support them now, otherwise they wouldn't dare to go to Goguryeo's bad luck.
The leader of the Xi tribe went back satisfied, and then Li Shimin laughed and said: "This Xi tribe has also sent 30,000 soldiers, and we can have someone for us to consume!" ”
Li Shimin is definitely not a benevolent person, since someone can take the initiative to send cannon fodder, then Li Shimin has no reason to refuse. As for the agreement now, when the time comes, Datang can claim the land of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as it is a little exaggerated, then the entire Northeast Plain can be eaten into the stomach, and of course, the most elite generation in the Northeast has also entered the belly of the Tang Dynasty.
"However, what if the people of the Xi tribe and the Yan tribe don't agree at that time?" Gao Kan still asked.
And Jingwen immediately said: "Gao Kan, are you a fool for us?" Don't you know what a false road is, crossing a river and tearing down a bridge? ”
"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed out loud.
Everyone is a smart person, so they naturally know what Jingwen means. Jingwen's meaning is that if the Xi tribe and the Yan tribe don't do it, it will take the opportunity to destroy them. And Jingwen still wished that they would oppose it, so that Datang would have a reason to destroy them. Because although the Northeast Plain is good and can produce a lot of grain, there are still a lot of good things in the north. There is also a large oil field further north, that is, the Daqing oil field. Jingwen couldn't wait for the Xi and Tatar people to oppose it, and then the Tang Dynasty could drive them to Siberia, so that the large and small Xing'an Mountains, as well as the oil in Daqing, belonged to China. Therefore, Jingwen can't wait for them to oppose it, so that there is an excuse! (To be continued......)
