Linhu Palace.
Li Shan sat there honestly, listening to Li Yuan chatting with Princess Pingyang and his wife. She really looked like a grandma, but Li Shan occasionally meowed Li Yuan's head, which always seemed green.
No wonder Liang Shidu was killed immediately, and it was the cruelest cut in the waist. Li Yuan probably didn't want to look at Liang Shidu at all.
No wonder Li Shimin was in trouble. Xue Jieyu was about to give birth. In this era, aborting a child was no different from killing it, and drowning the baby after birth... But how could Li Yuan tolerate such a thing?
If Li Shimin wanted to persuade Li Yuan, it would be like running into an iron wall. Isn't this looking for trouble?
But if you don't persuade her and let Xue Jieyu die, not to mention Xue Sui, you will still have Xue Yuanjing under your command.
Li Shan muttered in his heart, counting the time, Xue Jieyu was kidnapped by Liang Jun in June last year, and now it is April. Master Liang's marksmanship is quite accurate. What's more terrible is that Xue Jieyu has been in the palace for six months. He has been aged for many years but has not given birth to a child... How can Li Yuan's face be so shameless?
Princess Pingyang and her wife have come to an end over there. Today Chai Shao is mainly here to report on the deployment of generals and colleges in the Beiya Forbidden Army. After all, in addition to the levels of generals and generals, there are also a large number of middle and low-level generals who accompanied Li Shan on the expedition last year, so it is necessary to start from Allocating manpower among the Twelve Guards... It's not difficult to say, but Chai Shao started preparations after the year and has been delaying until now.
There was nothing Chai Shao could do. All the famous ones among the Twelve Guards were either former members of King Qin or had something to do with the East Palace. Chai Shao had to discuss with Princess Pingyang and transfer some of Princess Pingyang's direct subordinates to the capital.
After watching her husband leave, Princess Pingyang said unceremoniously: "Why are you here with Huairen today?"
Li Shan blinked and said, "Third Sister, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
"But it doesn't matter." Li Yuan didn't care that his daughter was around. He knew in his heart that Princess Pingyang and his wife would not have a political stance, which would be a recipe for disaster.
Li Shan felt helpless and saluted: "Yesterday, there was a discussion in Liangyi Hall..."
"Although there is a reason, this is a major military and national matter. My father asked me about it. As a minister, you are familiar with the inside story, but you are only obedient and dare not explain it." Princess Pingyang sneered and said: "Can you afford my father's trust these years?! "
Li Shan could only salute again, "Your Majesty, please punish me."
Li Yuan wondered if he had temporarily summoned Pingyang today, thinking that Li Shan had moved to Pingyang to be his savior. It was difficult for him to say these words, but Pingyang could.
"I know that Huairen dare not say anything." Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "There are no outsiders today, so I can tell you everything."
Li Shan pretended to organize his thoughts before speaking eloquently, "Nowadays, the situation on the grassland is quite chaotic. After Jieli Khan left, the Turks were in civil strife. There was also heavy snowfall on the grassland, and years of famine. In addition, Dubu Khan, the Turks Li Khan was defeated and fled last year, and Ashina no longer has the authority he once had."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, that was indeed the case, and this was also the main reason for his intention to make progress.
"Looking at the Turkic territories, due to years of famine and internal fighting among the Turks, the Xi and Ping tribes in the east mostly have internal attachments, while in the western Mobei, the nine Tiele tribes such as Qibi, Yantuo, and Uighur have centrifugal and self-reliant statues. .”
"Remember the battle in Guji Town. Before the battle, you promised Chief Tiele to report to the court and ask me to give him a drum and a drum to allow him to build his teeth and proclaim himself Khan." Li Yuan obviously also considered it carefully, "After that, Jieli Khan stormed Guji Town. , but Tiele did not go all out and went west a few days later on the pretext of Mayi coming for reinforcements."
"Yes, Chief Tiele Yinan is a man of great strategy and ambition. His grandfather Yi lost his bowl and rebelled against the Turks and established himself as Khan." Li Shan explained in detail and said: "Now on the grassland, there are dozens of ethnic groups Separated and unsure of the future, the Tang Dynasty now unified the world, defeated the Turks in succession within a few years, and destroyed the capital of Liang. In the eyes of the barbarians, it can be said that there is no room for others to sleep on the side of the bed."
"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?" Li Yuan repeated and said with a smile, "Huairen has another new saying."
"Throughout the history books, when the Han Dynasty was strong, the Hu Dynasty was weak, and when the Hu Dynasty was strong, the Han Dynasty was weak." Li Shan said sternly: "Now that the Turks have lost their authority, they can barely control the grasslands. Why does your majesty encourage the Turks to regain their authority?"
Li Yuan put away his smile and said slowly: "Huairen doesn't agree with the establishment of a county?"
"Yes." Li Shan said straightforwardly: "The internal roads were severely damaged, and the several states that were recovered must be appeased. It would cost a lot to mobilize a large army to garrison Yulin County, and it would even anger the Turks."
"If the Turks invaded with small tribes, Yulin County in Shaocheng City...let alone Prince Yan, Zhang Shigui, and Su Dingfang, even Prince Zhao, his ministers, and the King of Qin would not be able to resist him. The best thing to do would be to retreat to Shuofang, Yinzhou, and Yanzhou areas are guarded along the Great Wall."
"In this way, the Turks may be able to regain their authority and unite the tribes. During the Tang Dynasty, they held the border and fought hard year after year."
Li Yuan was a little disappointed, "Can't Erlang stop him?"
"We are determined not to be able to stop it." Li Shan shook his head and said: "It's too close, too close. The Turkic cavalry can attack Yulin County in one day... In other words, the Tang cavalry can also attack in one day. If we attack Zhanxiang City along the Qingshui River, we can join forces with the Shuozhou and Daizhou armies."
"The Turks will definitely be unbearable. Even if Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan want to quarrel with each other, they will definitely give up and fight against the Heavenly Army together."
Princess Pingyang interrupted: "Huairen means that the Tang Dynasty will just watch with cold eyes?"
"Naturally, I watched with a cold eye, but it was by no means just a cold eye." Li Shan said loudly: "First, I sat back and watched the internal fighting between Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan. The latter was once expelled to the east, and now many tribes have joined them. In Youzhou, your majesty can send an envoy to test whether Tuli Khan may be included."
"Secondly, please His Majesty choose an opportunity to give Chief Tiele Yinan a generous gift and allow him to build a tooth to divide the Turkic power."
"Thirdly, the price of food in Guanzhong has been high for several years. Production should be restored, farming should be encouraged, ordnance made, and soldiers trained."
"When we get a good opportunity, we will send troops from Daizhou, Shuozhou and Yunzhou, select good generals to send troops from Yulin County, and then send the Lingzhou army north to cut off the Turks' westward retreat. We must use the power of thunder to destroy the Turks in one go."
Li Yuan was silent for a long time and looked at the invisible man beside him, "Did you remember everything?"
"Everything is recorded in the book." Qi Chulang glanced at Li Shan from the corner of his eye. This King of Wei was so courageous. He single-handedly planned the route of the Japanese war.
Li Yuan's eyes fell on Li Shan again and sighed: "It is said that Huairen is still young, so he cannot rush to become prime minister. That's wrong, wrong!"
Li Shan looked calm and composed, but deep down he felt uncomfortable. Was he feeling a little shameless?
After time traveling, I had copied a lot, and I had done many shameless things... But this time, I copied the most ruthlessly. Basically, Li Shimin didn't have to do anything.
This possibility is really possible. If Li Shimin had not staged the Xuanwumen mutiny and could successfully replace Li Jiancheng as the East Palace, Li Yuan might have been able to live on the throne for more than ten years, and it would not have been Li Shimin's turn to destroy the Eastern Turks. .
