Li Shimin stood up slowly, his face not very pretty. This duplicitous guy still dares to ask me for help now?
"Tian Khan..."
Li Shimin said coldly: "Where is Fu Yun's face? Where is your face?"
Mo Sannan, Tuyuhun's envoy, only remembered at this moment that Tuyuhun had just been beaten by the Tang Dynasty two months ago, which frightened their Khan and fled to the Kukunuoer Sea (Qinghai Lake) with his family and army.
They only came back after Datang withdrew its troops.
After returning, Fuyun Khan immediately sent people to Datang to admit his mistake and offered 100,000 cattle and sheep as an apology. However, Datang did not accept it and wanted more war horses.
At this moment, the two sides are still negotiating.
At this moment, facing troops approaching the city, it was a bit shameless to come to ask Datang for help.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't know yet. I'm going to tell you something that makes me angry. Just before you came, there was an eight-hundred-mile emergency call from Liangzhou City. Tuyuhun sneaked into Liangzhou City and killed three Tang Dynasty border guards. More than a hundred people took away countless cattle, sheep and food..."
Mo Sangnan was immediately confused. Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou City secretly, killed Datang's border guards, and robbed Datang of cattle, sheep, and food?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Their Khan is short-sighted, but he definitely has no brains.
How is it possible to do such a self-destructive thing?
Mo Sangnan took a deep breath and immediately said with a tearful tone: "Dear Tian Khan, this is definitely not something I, Tuyuhun, did. There is definitely a misunderstanding on this matter, a huge misunderstanding."
"Foreign officials speculated that it must have been done by Tubo. They wanted to destroy the friendly relationship between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin threw the inkstone in front of the emperor directly and said angrily: "Kill my soldiers and steal cattle, sheep and food. Do you think this is a misunderstanding?"
"Fork out!"
"You want me to send troops to rescue you Tuyuhun, you are just wishful thinking."
Li Ke, the guard with a sword, stepped forward and dragged Mo Sang Nan out. Mo Sang Nan shouted angrily: "Tian Khan, what a misunderstanding. I, Tuyuhun, have absolute sincerity to surrender to the Tang Dynasty..."
The messenger Mo Sangnan was thrown out of the Tai Chi Hall and then expelled directly from the palace.
The hall was quiet, and Li Shimin's face remained indifferent. This matter was a bit strange. Logically speaking, Tuyuhun had been severely beaten by the Tang Dynasty. At this juncture, it was absolutely impossible to sneak attack Liangzhou City.
Songtsen Gampo and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were at the border of Tuyuhun. What did they want to do?
Today's plateau has just been unified by Songtsen Gampo, and Songtsen Gampo has no energy to swallow Tuguhun anymore. Doing so will make it clear that he will go to war with the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not want to fight Tubo, and Tubo did not want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty. It was best for both countries to leave the buffer area of Tuyuhun.
Li Shimin immediately said: "Call the messenger from Liangzhou City. I have something to ask him."
After a while, the messenger who came from Liangzhou City came to the main hall, knelt on one knee and paid homage to Li Shimin.
"General, I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe!"
Li Shimin came to the messenger, helped him up, and asked: "What happened when Tuyuhun attacked our Tang Dynasty border guards?"
"What did Li Daliang say?"
The messenger recalled what happened that night and replied: "Your Majesty, it was the night two days ago. General Li had just arrived in Liangzhou City after inspecting the border defense. Bad news came from the upper reaches of the Baita River. A wave of about 3,000 people Tuyuhun cavalry attacked our border guard camp."
"General Li immediately issued a military order and personally led five thousand cavalry to the upper reaches of the Baita River for rescue. However, on the way to rescue, General Li was ambushed by unknown forces. They used crossbows from the Tang Dynasty, which were very advanced... …”
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed. Li Daliang was ambushed by unknown forces, and they used Tang Dynasty's crossbows. These people were very cruel!
"General Li broke out of the ambush, and the unknown forces in the ambush retreated immediately. When General Li arrived at the border post, there were only more than 100 people left in the border post out of 500, and most of them were seriously injured. The Tuyuhun cavalry that attacked the post had already He fled with the cattle, sheep and grain robbed nearby."
"General Li chased for a long time along the enemy's escape route. It was late at night and he was afraid of being ambushed. He did not dare to go deep alone, so he had to withdraw."
"The next day we took the army to the border of Tuyuhun, but the other party refused to admit that they were responsible."
"Stand back!" After hearing this, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked the messenger to stand down.
Li Daliang could not help but be Li Shimin's favorite general, and he was also a member of the Li family in Longxi. His ancestors were close relatives of Li Yuan, and the two families were relatively close.
Li Daliang liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and later became Wang Shichong's general. After failing to assassinate Li Mi, he surrendered to Wagang Village. After the failure of Wagang Village, he defected to Li Shimin and followed Li Shimin in the north and south, and made great military exploits.
But when he accepted the reward, he refused, saying that he would just be given a county magistrate.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he went to visit Li Daliang, his favorite general. As a result, Li Daliang managed the county in an orderly manner and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Li Shimin was overjoyed. How could a capable minister who could kill enemies on horseback and govern the world when dismounted be a small county magistrate? Isn't this a waste of talent?
With an edict, Li Daliang's leisurely retirement life ended, and he came to Liangzhou, the most difficult frontier, and began his border guarding career.
In history, Li Daliang did not disappoint Li Shimin. Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou City countless times, but Li Daliang defended and fought back again and again. He defeated the Tuyuhun army that attacked Liangzhou City many times and protected the golden Hexi Corridor. aisle. biquge.biz
"Daliang...Daliang is being targeted?"
Li Shimin snorted in his heart, because with Li Daliang here, the whole of Hexi would not be in chaos. His opponent wanted to kill Li Daliang and cause chaos in Hexi.
Nowadays, the forces in the entire northwest are quite complicated. There are Tubo, Tuyuhun, other countries in the Western Regions, and the remnants of the Turks. What worries him even more is the unknown force.
That unknown force has been muddying the waters.
He, Li Shimin, could also imagine that this force was probably supported by Qi Wang of the Five Surnames and the wealthy families of Shandong.
Smuggling and selling arms at the border, and now there are supporting forces to confuse the situation in the northwest...
I was just about to take action, but you couldn't sit still any longer.
He just said a few days ago that he would ask the King of Shu to go to Longxi to rectify the chaos at the border and crack down on border smuggling. Now he is starting to fight back?
Everyone saw that His Majesty was silent and all stared at His Majesty.
"Since everyone is here, let's discuss this matter and come up with a charter."
