Gao Shilian is eloquent, talented, quite a Jin and Wei celebrities, coupled with high emotional intelligence, very good at being a man, in the Sui Dynasty, although the official position is not high, but the fame is not small.

Especially among the literati, the prestige is extremely high, and even a great Confucian like Wang Tong is his guest.

It is precisely because of the presence of such an uncle as Gao Shilian, when the eldest grandson Sheng died, the eldest grandson princess's mother and son were driven out of the house by the elder brother, the Tang Guogong of the year, and now the ancestor of Gao, can listen to his wife's opinion and does not insist on withdrawing from the marriage between the Li family and the eldest grandson family.

Ten years after the great cause, Gao Shilian was implicated by Yang Xuangan and Hu Sizheng and was demoted to Zhuyuan County to be the master of the nine products.

When he arrived in that poor and remote place, not only did he not abandon himself and pity himself, but he made a lot of achievements in that poor mountain and bad water.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Ning Changzhen, the slang marshal of Qinzhou, led the army to attack Lingnan Jiaozhi, and Gao Shilian was ordered to serve as a marching Sima as a scholar, and defeated Ning Changzhen.

After Li Tang raised his army, he secretly helped Li Tang do a lot of things, Li Xiaogong was able to easily defeat Xiao Miao, he had a great contribution, and in the face of such a person, Gaozu also admired it very much.

Soon after Gao Shilian returned, he was appointed by Gaozu as the governor of Yongzhou, and at the same time took pity on him for not reuniting with his family and mother for a long time, and specially ordered him to go to his post again in the next year.

And Li Shimin happened to hang up the position of Yongzhou pastor at this time, which shows that Gaozu wanted to make up for the second son, knowing that the second son had a deep relationship with his princess, and also took care of his wife, so he put Gao Shilian, who was high in the Tang Dynasty, to work under the second son.

Gao Shilian still had a few months to do in Beijing, so he took this opportunity to tell his second son about a family affair, and spent the rest of the time at home with his old mother, wife and children, and his life was very peaceful.

If Gao Zu only admired Gao Shilian, Li Shimin's attitude towards him was from the bottom of his heart.

Because his marriage with his eldest grandson was set at an early age, after the eldest granddaughter lived in Gao's house, he dealt with Gao Shilian a lot.

In Li Shimin's view, Gao Shilian is the kind of virtuous person who has the ability to stabilize the country and the country, he hunts the past and the present, has a clear mind, vision, open-mindedness, and strategic ethics are absolutely comparable to ordinary people, and can communicate with him more, and take him as a teacher, which is a great creation.

For this reason, after Gao Shilian came back, Li Shimin ran to Gaofu whenever he had time, and asked him about some problems about the general trend of the country and the problems he felt a little confused, such as the Turks, Liu Heimin, and the internal problems of Li Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of this, after Liu Heimin was defeated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in Luoshui in March this year and fled to the Turks, he was full of resentment and wanted to take revenge.

He hit it off with Liu Heimin and lent troops to Liu Heimin, and since the beginning of June, Liu Heimin has led a small number of Turkic soldiers to rob along the Shandong border, frequently provoking.

At this time, Li Tang still had a lot of small and medium-sized forces outside that needed to be swept away, and he would not have the energy or spare his hands to deal with him for a while, so he only sent Yuan Shao, a chariot general, as the head of the border march to prevent the Turkic soldiers from attacking.

Seeing that the Tang army ignored him for the time being, Liu Heimin became more and more presumptuous, and the looting actions became more frequent and rampant, and he did a lot of things from June to August.

"Uncle, I don't know what you think about this Liu Heimin and the Turks?" After August 15, Li Min came to Gaofu to find Gao Shilian, and when the two were drinking tea together, Li Shimin asked him about Liu Heimin and the Turks.

"Liu Heimin is indeed a rare warrior, but in the big battle with the prince in Dingzhou this year, he wiped out his family and injured Keigan, and it will be difficult to become a climate again for a while."

"He can fight and is good at fighting, in addition to his own bravery and good command, it is also related to the group of brave and warlike generals under his command."

"The prince himself is a handsome talent that is rare to see in a hundred years, and he naturally knows that only when a good soldier meets a good general can he be invincible."

"Liu Heimin's previous family was almost exhausted in the Battle of Luoshui, and the remnants of the Turks who fled with him were less than 2,000 people, although the Turks now strongly support him, but the Turks are Turks after all."

"No matter how good the Turks are, they are not his Liu Heimin's soldiers and horses, the Turks have a natural rejection of foreigners, no matter how capable he is, it is unlikely that he will be as easy as commanding his original team."

"Therefore, even if this person can make some trouble, it is impossible to threaten the overall situation of my Li Tang, the prince's current labor is high enough, and when His Majesty wants to send someone to levy Liu Heimin again, the prince can push it."

"Of course, even if the prince doesn't want to push, I estimate that in the near future, there are not many people in the court who want the prince to go to Liu Heimin again."

"As for the Turks, to speak a word of conscience, the Turks are indeed our Li Tang's biggest enemy, and they are also the only ones among the surrounding countries that can threaten our Li Tang's existence, especially Jieli Khan, who is ambitious and always wants to seize our Central Plains."

"But he has not long taken over the throne of the Khan of the steppe, and the leaders of the tribes are not so convinced by him, if he can't command the entire grassland, with the strength of his Ashina clan alone, he obviously does not have the ability to formally prepare to attack my Central Plains."

"For this reason, I dare to conclude that small-scale harassment and tentative attacks on the border will often occur, but a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains, as long as there is no major chaos within Li Tang, it will not happen for a while."

"After all, our Li Tang has unified the Central Plains, and there are many generals in the country who can fight well, and the prince and the prince are both rare generals for decades.

"Of course, it is unlikely that he will launch a full-scale attack on our Datang in the near future, but with the current medium of Liu Heimin, he can try to use Liu Heimin's influence on both sides of Hebei to stir up trouble."

"The prince should pay attention to it, don't let the Turks and Liu Heimin form an internal and external alliance." Gao Shilian took a sip of tea and said without hesitation.

"Thank you Uncle for your advice." After Li Shimin listened, he pondered for a long time, then got up and respectfully bowed to him.

Sure enough, when Liu Heimin's movement became bigger and bigger, although Gaozu and the courtiers sent people to conquest, no one mentioned the name of the king of Qin, and Gaozu sent Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang County, as the head of the Hebei march to conquer Liu Heimin.

But he underestimated the influence of Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin in Hebei, and the newly appointed Dingzhou Sima Dong should have heard the news of Liu Heimin's comeback, so he designed to kill the assassin Shi, took Dingzhou to Liu Heimin, and confronted Li Daoxuan.

After Dong Gai's rebellion, before Gaozu could make the next step to deal with Liu Heimin, the Turks suddenly launched a large-scale attack by Li Tang on several borders, and the border soldiers could not resist and were quickly defeated.

The Turks are currently the biggest threat to Li Tang, and Gaozu can't care about dealing with Liu Heimin anymore, so he immediately sent the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, to each lead a team of soldiers and horses, and go to the border to resist the Turks in two ways.
