As Li Shan narrated, the atmosphere gradually calmed down. Everyone from Li Shimin to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others listened attentively... Nowadays, no one in the court can surpass him in terms of understanding of Turks.
"Since the signing of the alliance with Tuli Khan at the beginning of the year, in addition to ironware and iron materials, salt, wine, tea, cloth and even grain have been sent to Yunzhou through Xia City and commercial roads." Li Shan carefully analyzed the situation from beginning to end. , "The tribes of Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan are probably that the former is in the west and the latter is in the east. However, since the defeat of Yugushe in Yunzhou, it has been Tuli Khan's younger brother Ashina Jishe Lead the garrison."
"Jieli Khan adopted Zhao Deyan's plan to consolidate the power of various tribes. The tax collection was heavy and the tribes were miserable. However, he also granted power to the leaders of the Xi tribe, the Ping tribe, Tiele and other tribes, so that there were quite a few people in the Ashina tribe. Complain.”
"That's why Huairen sent grain, grass, salt and wine to Yunzhou in order to make Tuli Khan win over the Ashina tribe." Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "After the battle at Cangtou River, Jieli Khan became even more authoritative within the tribe. It plummeted so much that the situation changed drastically and the world was turned upside down.”
"Yes, after the battles at Guji Town and Cangtou River, Tuli Khan had the upper hand in Wuyuan County." Li Shanjie said: "And Jieli Khan relied on his direct lineage and the Xi tribe and Tiele tribes to resist. If It’s not going to be windy and snowy, I’m afraid it’s already going to be a war.”
After a pause, Li Shan added: "I heard... that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan intend to make peace with each other?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did Huairen know?"
"Pharmacist Li secretly reported to Your Majesty." Li Shan was very suspicious. Did Li Shimin really not know?
If you really don’t know, then it means that at least at this time, Li Jing and Li Shimin have not established contact...because it was Li Yuan who said this, and Li Shan once tested it when he went to the East Palace for a banquet. Li Jiancheng and Wang Gui , Wei Zheng didn’t know.
Changsun Wuji looked slightly excited, "If the two khans stop and make peace, they will inevitably invade the south again... There has been a famine in the grassland for the past two years!"
"Pharmacist Li is guarding Yanmen Pass, and the east of the river is strong." Li Shimin glanced at his brother-in-law, "It's just Mayi and Guji Town..."
"Liu Shirang and Xue Wanjun are guarding Shuozhou. As long as there are no more two khans joining forces to attack... they should be fine." Li Shan smiled and said: "It will definitely not happen again."
Du Ruhui repeated with emphasis, "It will definitely not happen again."
This sentence has two meanings. One is that Li Jing, the current military commander of Daizhou Road and the commander-in-chief of Daizhou, cannot sit back and watch the Turkic army calmly besiege Mayi and Guji Town like last time... If he did it again, I am afraid that all the stars would be spit on. It's going to drown him.
Liu Shirang is Li Shan's direct descendant, Xue Wanjun is the general of the King of Qin, plus Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche, Li Jing is really going to offend everyone.
Before Li Shan left Daizhou, Li Jing had a long conversation with him about the war situation in Shuozhou. Mayi, Yanmenguan, and Guji Town were all at odds with each other, dividing the battlefield. During this period, with elite cavalry crisscrossing the battlefield, it was difficult for the Turks to launch a war that would sweep the entire country. The war in Shuozhou.
Moreover, Li Jing, headed by the new acting governor Shi Qinwutong, once again planned to build three small cities on the east side of Mayi and the south side of Guji Town. This made it even more difficult for the Turkic cavalry, which had the advantage of gathering and dispersing, to resist the troops who could rush out of the city at any time. Tang Qi came.
The second is that even if the two khans give up and make peace, it is impossible to join forces and go south like the last time.
Jieli Khan was not stupid either. During the conversation before the battle a few months ago, Li Shanshi casually revealed the news of Tuli Khan's alliance with the Tang Dynasty, so that during the nearly ten-day siege, he Some troops have been kept to guard against the nephew.
"It is possible to divide the troops to attack." Ling Jing added: "attack Hebei, Hedong, Guannei, and Longyou."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, his eyes falling on Li Shan again, "Huairen should already know about Ashina She'er?"
"Yes, His Majesty mentioned it during the meeting a few days ago."
"If you look at it with kindness, can Ashina Sheer defeat Jieli Khan, and Tuli Khan will continue to fight among himself?"
Li Shan hesitated for a while. He knew in his heart that Li Yuan would not decide this matter alone. He must have discussed it with the ministers, princes and princes, but he did not know what views these people held.
"Huairen can tell you all." Li Shimin smiled and said, "I heard that you and Ashina She'er are old acquaintances."
"His Highness was joking." Li Shan also smiled and pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "We first met outside Guantao City a few years ago, and then we met again at the great victory of Yanmen..."
"This person is well versed in Sinology, has a plan, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the benefits and disadvantages..."
After a pause, Li Shancai continued: "I understand the overall situation better."
Li Shimin sighed slightly, and he naturally understood that Li Shan actually did not agree with letting Ashina Sheer go back to the grassland.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty dominates the world. It first defeated the Tuyuhun and then the Turks. Even Jieli Khan was defeated and fled. Given the current situation, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and understands the overall situation. This evaluation means that Ashina She'er is very likely Will work towards persuasion.
The room was quiet for a moment. Everyone present was a hero, and they even thought about what Ashina Sheer would do.
Contradiction transfer... People in this era don't know this term, but it doesn't stop them from doing it.
Because of power, status, and tribe, the uncle and nephew were hostile to each other and fought tit for tat. However, when the grassland was covered with heavy snow, a large number of livestock froze to death, and the tribe's strength was greatly damaged, the uncle and nephew temporarily gave up.
In this case, transferring the internal fighting to external invasion... is the best choice.
Li Shan even thought in his heart that he had never heard the name Ashina She'er in his previous life, but judging from his methods, he was really not an ordinary character... That day, he evaluated Tuli Khan as a hero, and only Ashina ·Sheer is comparable.
But in Li Shan's mind, Tuli Khan was slightly lower than Ashina She'er.
Li Shan had a vague guess in his heart that due to the influence of himself, a butterfly that had traveled through time, Ashina Sheer in this life might also rewrite his life trajectory... and it would be a completely different life trajectory.
"Guannei, Longyou..." Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Hedong, Hebei..."
Li Shan raised the tea cup and drank some water. He went to the East Palace and Wude Hall for banquets, and all he was served was tea, but here, there was only a cup of warm water.
Quietly glancing at Li Shimin, Li Shan thought to himself... He had finally made peace. If it weren't for bastards like Yu Gushe, Pei Shiju, and Jieli Khan, would he have been the same? !
After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke, "Now that the DPRK has proposed to prepare troops in Guannai Road, Huairen may be able to take charge."
Li Shan secretly cursed, Fuck!
After going around and around, we finally got around to this matter!
