Chapter 348: Choice

It can only be said that Lee rewrote the book a bit quickly.

In the twentieth year of Yuanheng, in the second half of the year, in just half a year, Li Chong wrote millions of words freely.

To be honest, I don't know if I don't write Li Chong, it turns out that there are so many things I know.

And Li Tian and Li Shouyang, obviously, in the past half a year, they have also improved rapidly in the realm of thinking.

Even......

The whole person looked at it and seemed to be much deeper than before.

When the emperor's grandson Li Anren saw it, he couldn't help but feel that Li Shouyang seemed to have changed recently.

Twenty years of Yuan Heng, the second half of the year.

Due to the tense situation in the Western Regions, then the Tang Dynasty also has to need someone to guard the Western Regions.

Originally, I didn't plan to let Li Xiang go.

It's just that......

How should I say this, sharing the worries of my father and the emperor, isn't that what I should do as a son?

Thereupon......

Forty-four-year-old Li Xiang packed his baggage again and set off for the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Of course!

Li Tian can only be bound together now.

Is there a forty-four-year-old prince in this world?

Before Li Xiang made this decision, Li Xiang had already thought about it.

Instead of waiting for his father to die in Luoyang, he should go to the Western Regions to be the emperor of the soil.

If you feel lonely, when it's time to leave, you can bring your favorite concubine with you.

Of course!

Actually, women are a bit annoying.

If you want to bring it......

Then bring the most sensible, the most obedient, and will serve people!

For example, Qingqing.

He is gentle and considerate, and his breasts are big.

Li Tian also knew what Li Xiang thought.

In a word......

Li Xiang went wherever he went.

This also shows an interesting picture that may be difficult to see in all dynasties.

The crown prince is still allowed to fight outside the war.

This may ......

It is the inclusiveness and openness of Datang.

Twenty-one years of Yuan Heng.

After Li Xiang arrived at the Anxi Protectorate, he immediately heard from the spies that the Western Turks were plotting a rebellion.

If this spy is from the Western Turkic side, then be careful.

Because......

Perhaps this is a conspiracy of the Western Turks.

If the Western Turks can't fight a war, they will use conspiracies, such as spreading false news to you, so that you can rush into battle.

Originally, the target this time should be the deputy general Wang Fangyi.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be given by Li Xiang.

After Li Xiang saw this spy, he was also a little puzzled.

His instincts told him that it might be a conspiracy.

After all......

As a person from the Western Turks, how can the other party be so kind, before the key, it is not their internal response.

Li Xiang saw through the other party's conspiracy at a glance.

And then......

Immediately afterwards, I couldn't help but start to worry a little about Li Huanwen.

Because if the Western Turks really want to have a plan, then at this moment, Li Huanwen has become a hostage of the Western Turks.

Sure enough!

When Li Xiang arranged for someone to interrogate the other party, not long after, far west and far west, there were remnants of the Eastern Turks who fled back in embarrassment.

It is said that someone from a certain part of the Western Turks took advantage of the night to sneak attack them.

They numbered tens of thousands of Eastern Turkic tribesmen and suffered heavy losses.

Now there are less than 500 horsemen who can escape.

Li Xiang thought about it, you crossed the territory of the Western Turks to do business, and you still let the Eastern Turks come over, people will definitely not agree.

"I can only say...... What the hell did you Aya think in the first place? ”

Li Tian said: "Maybe, I'm just trying to fight this battle?" It's called driving the tiger and the wolf. ”

Li Xiang: "......"

"Wonderful!"

Since the Eastern Turks have been beaten, what to do, of course, is to take people to beat them back again.

Thereupon......

Li Xiang reported to the imperial court and recruited 80,000 Turkic cavalry.

Meanwhile......

The Western Turks also betrayed completely.

No way, this is what Datang forced them to do.

They kidnapped Li Huanwen, and next, they also negotiated with Li Xiang.

Of course, Li Xiang will not get used to the other party, and is about to say, you kill it, don't talk nonsense, but Li Tian feels that no matter what Li Huanwen says, it is also Li Xiang's own son, which doesn't seem to be very good.

Let's see what the other party asks for first.

Followed by......

And the messenger of the other party entered the account. In fact, the Western Turks had nothing to ask for.

Anyway, first of all, Datang can't use troops against them, otherwise, they will kill Li Huanwen.

Secondly, let the Tang Dynasty cede those vassal states of the Western Regions so that they can use them to collect taxes.

In fact, before the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang and affected the Western Regions, these small countries in the Western Regions have always been 'protected' by them.

It's just that Datang stretched out his hand later, so these small countries in the Western Regions took refuge in Datang one after another.

Thereinto......

The fastest defection is the small countries surnamed Kang, An, Cao, and Shi of Zhaowu.

This is also the origin of Li Er's 'Heavenly Khan'.

It is these small countries, in order to get the protection of the Tang Dynasty, so they unite together and give Li Ershang the honorific title.

You know, the Turks didn't say that at that time.

But since everyone else has made a start, the Turks can only call it that way.

Otherwise......

Then you don't fit in, and if you don't fit in, you may have to be taught a lesson by Datang.

After putting forward the first two requirements, the third asked Datang to provide them with steam tractors.

That's a bit vexatious.

Of course, Li Xiang could not have agreed.

However, Li Tian said: "Is it one hand to hand over and one hand to deliver?" ”

The other party didn't expect someone to be so happy.

It made the other party stunned.

The question is......

This requirement is not mentioned, so ......

It seems that giving people back to them doesn't seem to be a big problem.

But......

If it weren't for Li Huanwen being in their hands at this time, I believe that Datang would have sent troops to attack them directly.

This......

Then, the other party began to play tricks again: "We can't give you back." ”

Li Tian said: "Then you said so much, which means that you don't have to do anything, just take our steam tractor?" Even if I agree, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not agree either. ”

In front of the steam tractor, with the hostages, they hesitated.

Visible......

The charm of this steam tractor is far greater than that of a hostage.

After all......

How this steam tractor plows the land, they are clear.

If they can get these machines, they won't have to worry about freezing and starving in the future.

But if the hostages are given back to the other party, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will lead the army over, and it is a question whether he can withstand it.

I can only say that I hesitated.

Do you choose to believe in yourself and be able to withstand it, or is it safer?

At last......

There is no doubt that they chose ......
