Just like Du Ruhui said, the existence of the Han Dynasty, from the overall situation, has a very great impact on the Tang Dynasty, especially if this kind of peace can be maintained between the two sides for a long time, it will be of great help to the stability of the border passes of the Tang Dynasty and the elimination of Jieli.

As for what happens after the elimination of Jieli, let's talk about it after the goal is achieved, at least for now, Li Shimin can't think about it so much.

And just like Du Ruhui said, if you want to maintain peace with Huo Gang for a long time, An Xinggui is definitely the biggest contradiction between the two sides, so there are some things, and now Li Shimin has to start deploying in advance.

Li Shimin has no psychological pressure for such a thing, An Xinggui has indeed made a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, but as the soil emperor of Liangzhou, if An Xinggui did not do anything that violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin would not believe it at all.

There are even some things that Li Shimin knows, but he doesn't do anything to him because he needs to settle down and stabilize the entire Liangzhou and Guazhou.

"Keming, Shilian." Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said.

"The minister is here." Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian immediately bent down and saluted.

"When I arrived in Dunhuang County, it was the time to officially attack Tuyuhun, I was relieved that the pharmacist was in charge of this matter, but I was a little worried about the logistics in the rear and the communication between the five surnames and Qiwang, this matter must have one of you two go to the town, at least in terms of making excuses, you are more professional than the pharmacist." Li Shimin said directly.

"In that case, go ahead." Gao Shilian thought for a while, and then said seriously, "The minister has some contact with several major valve families in this regard, this old face is still a little useful, the minister stays here to sit in the rear, and the main minister is also old, so I can't move your majesty." ”

"Gao Gong said with a smile, although you are old, ten years older than me, your body is much better than mine." Du Ruhui smiled and said.

"Hahaha, Du Gong's words are wrong, he is always old." Gao Shilian laughed twice and said. The three people in the room didn't care, but if Huo Gang was here, Huo Gang would tell them that Du Ruhui was really not wrong.

Gao Shilian was born in 575, but he did not die until 672 at the age of 72, but Du Ruhui died three years later, and he was ten years younger than Gao Shilian, born in 585, and only lived to be 45 years old.

Therefore, this person really can't live longer than the lifespan.

But now Du Ruhui's body naturally looks much better than Gao Shilian.

"Haha, you two, okay, then Shilian stays in Longxi." Li Shimin made a decision directly.

"Yes!" The two of them naturally did not argue, and at this moment Li Shimin was located in Longxi County, which was near Lanzhou in later generations.

The main route of Li Jing's march will follow the Yellow River into the territory of Tuyuhun, and the other route is the route from Lanzhou into Xining in the later world to cross the Qilian Mountains, in fact, there is also a river here, and only by following these rivers can you find a way to cross the Qilian Mountains.

Tuyuhun's troops are actually very small, and the reason why Datang did not take them before was because it would cost more troops to garrison this place, which was much more expensive than mainly intercepting several main passages from Qilian Snow Mountain into Liangzhou.

Therefore, Datang has always been in a defensive posture, of course, another reason is because Datang's current strength is indeed dwarfed.

After explaining, Li Shimin began to continue his own route, and Li Jing estimated that it would take about ten or twenty days to attack Tuyuhun.

It was mainly to hoard grain and grass, and at that time, Li Shimin had almost arrived near Dunhuang County.

In the rest of the trip, Li Shimin will speed up his own route, most of the victims in Liangzhou are concentrated in areas close to Guazhou, such as Wuwei, Li Shimin will not stop.

However, through this incident, Li Shimin felt an indescribable emotion for the first time, that is, how powerful the five surnames and Qiwang were, they sold Huo Gang so much grain, but now that they have released enough benefits, the grain they took out can easily satisfy the Tang Dynasty to launch a war to destroy the country!

Li Shimin pressed these emotions deeply in his heart, this is just the grain and grass stored by the other party, so how much money does these five surnames and seven hopes have? How much land? In this regard, Li Shimin knows that it is undoubtedly an astronomical amount.

At least he, the emperor, is much worse than the five surnames and seven hopes.

But he won't say these things, and even in the next two or three years, he even needs to be false and wronged with the other party.

How can you wait for the power in your hands to accept the mess left by the five surnames and Qiwang.

To be honest, what Du Ruhui said today actually reminded Li Shimin that Huo Gang's existence, not to mention the role of those books, just say that Huo Gang's role in stabilizing the Western Regions is greater than An Xinggui's.

An Xinggui can only stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, because An Xinggui's An family's power in the entire Liangzhou is not weaker than that of the Li family in Longxi, and many officials are inextricably linked to the An family, but An Xinggui can only stabilize the Tang Dynasty, but he can't stabilize the Western Regions.

He can't control Tuyuhun, and he can't control the Turks, but Huo Gang is different.

Once Xue Yantuo surrenders to Huo Gang, and they take Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty, it means that there will be no enemies around Liangzhou and Tuyuhun's territory, to put it bluntly, as long as Huo Gang is stabilized, then without external pressure, it doesn't matter whether Liangzhou is An Xinggui or not!

And the main threat to the entire Tang Dynasty is Jieli in the north, and if there is only one Jieli, Li Shimin has enough time to clean him up.

So after the Western Regions are stabilized, how many troops can the entire Datang draw from the Western Regions? You must know that it is difficult to defend the Western Regions, not only because of the large number of troops that need to be garrisoned, but also because there is another reason, that is, the food produced locally in the Western Regions is not enough for the soldiers stationed in the Western Regions.

Every year, a large amount of grain needs to be transported from the customs to the Western Regions, and because of the long journey, almost one-third of this grain is consumed on the road. However, if the Western Regions are stable and a small number of soldiers are stationed in the Western Regions, the local food can be satisfied, and there is no need to transfer grain to the Western Regions. Then these manpower can be used in the north.

The difference between the north and the Western Regions is that the Wuyuan and other places where the northern Jieli is located are places where grain can be grown! You can raise enough food locally! As long as enough people migrate there to collect food from the local area, the logistical pressure is naturally different from that of long-distance transportation!

But there is a problem, how can Huo Gang be stabilized so that he can rest assured that the soldiers from the Western Regions will be transferred away?

This is what he needs to think about now, if possible, an ally like Huo Gang is naturally much stronger than An Xinggui, I heard that ...... Huo Gang has not yet reached the crown, and he is only seventeen years old this year.

If this is the case, Li Shimin has already thought of marriage, but if it is a marriage, Li Shimin has thought of another problem, Huo Gang is a Han Chinese, he is different from the Turks, if it is really a princess marriage who married the Tang Dynasty...... Li Shimin thought of his younger sisters.

At least Huo Gang here is absolutely impossible to just reward a palace maid to become a princess, let alone ...... A beautiful and well-behaved face appeared in Li Shimin's mind, although she is only 7 years old this year, but she will reach the age of marriage in five or six years, and at that time, Huo Gang was only twenty-two or three years old.

It's just that...... That's his own biological daughter, of course Li Shimin can't bear it, and it's also his eldest daughter, the first child he has with Guanyin, if he sends it out, he won't see it again.

Li Shimin's gaze gradually became deeper, these are all later words, and now everything depends on how he and Huo Gang meet, and whether he Huo Gang has the ability to make Li Shimin pay attention!

Time flies, but on the whole, the famine in the first year of Zhenguan is gradually stabilizing, and in the past, it did not cause too many waves, and some of the places where the locust plague occurred were also extinguished, and there was no big locust plague.

In such a state, Li Shimin's footsteps finally arrived step by step at one of the westernmost points of the Tang border, Suoyang City in Guazhou. And in addition to the 1,000 Royal Forest Army, there were no other soldiers who followed Li Shimin.

In Suoyang City, Li Shimin also stayed in a set of houses prepared in advance here, which was also a house of the Li family in Suoyang City in Longxi, and all of them were vacated and replaced by Li Shimin's own people.

After meeting Li Yi and others, Li Shimin announced that he was tired from traveling all the way and was going to rest today, and would no longer see outsiders.

Longxi Li and the others naturally didn't think much about it, because Li Shimin came all the way, and it was true that he didn't stay in every place for too long, and in this more than a month, Li Shimin was not tired enough to be considered very healthy, so naturally no one would dare to disturb Li Shimin.

As for An Xinggui and others, they did not come to Guazhou, Li Shimin did not let any officials follow him along the way, An Xinggui, as the Duke of Liangguo, naturally had to stay in Wuwei, but he just went to meet Li Shimin when he passed by Wuwei.

In Suoyang City, after Li Shimin met the local officials, he directly wanted to rest and not see the guests.

Hundreds of miles away, in fact, two days before Li Shimin arrived in Suoyang City, Li Shimin issued a holy decree to the outside world, "Tuyuhun has repeatedly invaded Liangzhou and slaughtered many villages, which is to violate the might of my Tang Dynasty......."

All in all, Tuyuhun killed my people, and I want to avenge these people! In fact, when Li Shimin promulgated this holy decree, Li Jing had already directly marched westward, and 20,000 elite cavalry went straight to the place where several important tribes of Tuyuhun were located.

And when Li Shimin entered Suoyang City, Li Jing had actually fought two or three small-scale victories, and several small tribes of Tuyuhun had been directly taken down and surrendered.
