Chapter 316 Thoughts and Schemes

The Wei Palace and Li Tai's study also gathered a group of important officials. They were Li Tai's confidants and were the iron-kicks who supported Li Tai's entry into the Eastern Palace. Such as Wang Gui, the Huangmen Minister, Du Yan, the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department, Wei Ting, the Right Prime Minister of the Secretary of the Shangshu, Wen Yanbo, and Cheng Mingzhen.

Li Tai knew about the content of the discussions in the Liangyi Palace of Li Shimin, so he summoned these people to discuss how he could get a share of the Tang Dynasty's battle against the Turks. Li Tai also knew that entering the Eastern Palace required the support of the military, but his weakest thing was that he could not get the support of the military. Cheng Mingzhen was just a general around him, and he did not have much power, let alone his prestige in the army.

Therefore, Li Tai did not have much objection to Li Jing's proposal to let Li Ke be the chief marching road manager. After all, his strategy was to let Li Ke fight with Prince Li Chengqian, and he would benefit from both sides when both sides were injured. However, the premise that he did not oppose Li Ke as the chief marching road manager was that he could serve his subordinates in this large-scale war against the Turks, that is, Cheng Mingzhen got the position of a general, so that he could successfully use military merits to gain the position of a general.

The expressions of the people in the study were very serious. The special Wang Gui, his Li Tai's teacher, Li Tai's honor and disgrace were directly related to his future career. He had already failed Li Jiancheng once, and he was unwilling to accept it. Therefore, now he had the opportunity, and he could not defeat Li Tai anymore. He must push Li Tai to the position of the Eastern Palace.

Others, such as Du Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Wei Ting, the Right Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, were also officials of the Eastern Palace of the former Prince Li Chengqian. They had no choice when they met Li Jiancheng before. After all, Li Shimin was too powerful. Now they met Li Tai. This is a prince favored by Li Shimin. They all felt that Li Tai had a great chance of entering the Eastern Palace. Faced with such an opportunity, they both didn't want to let go. There were also similar ideas like Wen Yanbo and Cheng Mingzhen.

"What about the teacher's opinion?" Li Tai asked at Wang Gui who was thinking. He respected Wang Gui very much, and Wang Gui also conquered Li Tai with his talent and wisdom, making Li Tai respect him more than everyone else.

"Your Highness, my husband's suggestion is to add fuel to the fire, and the fisherman will benefit." Wang Gui said firmly, "Li Ke is powerful, the first to threaten the prince Li Chengqian, and he will hate Li Chengqian to seize his wife. Li Ke will not let Li Chengqian go under any circumstances. As long as Li Chengqian ascends the throne, he will never let Li Ke go. Both of them know it well."

Wang Gui's eyes were bright and radiant, and he was now analyzing like a wise man, "So, the empress thinks that Li Chengqian is not you who is uneasy about Li Ke's strength. This time Li Jing made Li Ke the chief marching road chief. The princes Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji would never let Li Ke lead the army. They may recommend Li Ji. I heard that Li Ji had defected to Changsun Wuji. And we cannot object too obviously. After all, the emperor trusted Li Jing very much and was very moved by Li Jing's proposal. We don't need to let ourselves be trapped in the quagmire for Li Chengqian. All we have to do is let it go, let Changsun Wuji fight with Li Ke and take the opportunity to gain benefits."

"The teacher means that whoever gives us benefits will support whoever we support?" Li Tai seemed to understand Wang Gui's words.

"Yes, Your Highness, Brother Shujie is right. We should do this. No matter whether Li Ke is strong or Li Chengqian is strong, the first person to be threatened is the two of them. They are now mortal enemies, and their grudges cannot be resolved. As long as we fuel the fire, they may fight to the point of defeating the death. Why don't we seek our own interests? Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Du Yan also echoed. He and Wang Gui and Wei Ting were old friends. He knew what Wang Gui was thinking.

"Well, I think Shujie's opinion is very good." Wen Yanbo also supported this time.

"Okay—" Li Tai said firmly, "Then listen to the teacher, try to fight for the right to lead the army for Mingzhen."

When Li Ke said this, he glanced at Cheng Mingzhen, and the latter immediately wanted Li Tai to bow, "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations and will bring you the elite soldiers you need."

....................................................................................................................

Yinshan, the holy land of the Turkic Khan Jie Li, the tent of the king of Tuli Khan Jie Li, Jie Li had already been destroyed by 130,000 troops, and his confidant and beloved general and Zuo Xianwang Fuzhen were killed. When he first received this news, he angrily killed three messengers, and was angry and wanted to send troops to attack Li Ke and his Bingzhou army immediately. However, when he received the messenger's report that Dingxiang City was occupied by the Tang army, he immediately regained his calmness. Years of experience in leading troops made him feel that he had encountered a truly powerful this time. He realized that the commander of the Tang army, Han King Li Ke, was not simple, and he could not underestimate the enemy.

Therefore, he summoned the patriarch of the tribe of So, and the result of everyone's discussion was that Dingxiang City should not be lost and it should be taken back as soon as possible. Tuli should not lose such a nail that was nailed to the back of the Tang Dynasty, nor could it lose such a city that could be attacked and defended when retreating.

Therefore, Jie Li ordered a tribe leader to mobilize elite tribe troops to the Yinshan Holy Land, and he wanted to gather 300,000 Turkic troops to personally attack Li Ke.

Now, Jie Li is discussing the march route in the tent with the leaders of various tribes. The leaders of various tribes are getting worse and worse against Jie Li, and they are often killed and beaten and scolded, and dare not speak out. They can only bow their heads and endure it. Everyone thinks that as long as Jie Li does not deliberately cause trouble for himself, he will not be in trouble with him. In addition to the three confidant generals of Jie Li, there are only Ashina Sheer and Qi Bi Heli. In addition to this, they are the right wise king of the Turks, and Jie Li's son Schroeder. The first person sitting on the right side of him looked at the seated leader of the tribe with a gloomy face. He and Li Ke died. This time Li Ke defeated Fu Zhen and Zhi Di Si Li, Schroeder was also very dissatisfied and wanted to fight for life and death with Li Ke.

"Dear tribe leaders, you should treat me to the Tang Dynasty to be eyed by the Turks in the past two years. Now Li Shimin not only sent his son Li Ke not only to help the Turks kill my Turks, the left wise king Fu Zhen and the general Zhi Shi Shishi, but also let Tuli also incorporate tens of thousands of spiritual cavalry under Fu Zhen, thinking that Tuli had at least 150,000 spiritual cavalry in his hands." Jie Li did not tell the truth about the 100,000 Turkish cavalry being killed by Li Ke's confidant and beloved general Su Dingfang, but instead said that he was incorporated by Tuli. His purpose was to exaggerate Tuli's power. The leaders of the Tugu tribe in front of him supported Jie Li to send troops to attack Tuli. They could be said to have become enemies with Tuli. Now Tuli is in great force. They offended Tuli and can only follow themselves and follow themselves in their own struggles.

Therefore, Jie Li had this idea and distorted the facts. Moreover, his friend's thoughts on the other hand, that is, Li Ke wiped out 100,000 Turkic cavalry, which would make many tribal leaders in front of him afraid of Li Ke and be detrimental to his own leadership of the army.

So, Jie Li continued, "So, my Khan cannot tolerate my Turkic traitor Tuli colluding with the Tang Dynasty, threatening the rights and interests of our Turkic."

"As long as the order of the Khan!" After the Turks were ruled by Jie Li, they became his own grassland. No one dared to refute him a word. Now the discussion on military affairs has become Jie Li's one-man show. Therefore, the leaders of the tribes said this, and they dared not refute what Jie Li said.

"Okay, what I want is your unity." Jie Li glanced coldly at the leaders of the tribes, then turned his eyes to the leader of the most loyal tribe who supported him and said in a gentle tone, "Navida, the Zuoxian King of the Turks, Fuzhen, has been killed, but if we want to manage our Turkic tribe well, we cannot be without Zuoxian King. Today, Ben Khan will appoint you as Zuoxian King of the Turks. I hope you will not disappoint Ben Khan!"

"Thank you, Khan. Navida will never disappoint Khan. Navida is willing to be the vanguard of Khan, lead his troops to break through Dingxiang City, attack Yunzhou, and fight to Chang'an." Navida is a tall middle-aged man in his forties with a face full of flesh on his face. He did not expect that he would be appointed as the Left King of Turks. He was stunned at first, and then understood Jie Li's meaning. While he was happy, he did not forget to show loyalty to Jie Li.

"Well——" Jie Li was very satisfied with Navi's performance. The reason for Jie Li's majesty and the one-man order made the leaders of other tribes sitting in the tent who asked him to appoint Navida as the Left King of Turks this time, and did not dare to refute it.

After hearing Jie Li's appointment, the tribe leaders in the tent looked ugly. They all knew that Navida was Jie Li's confidant, and the Turkic Left King was a king with high power in the Tuli tribe. Jie Li's purpose of doing this was very obvious, that was to continue to rule the Turkic with iron blood and continue to implement his one-man rule. In addition, the problem that made the leaders of the tribe worry about Tuli was Tuli. They had already believed Jie Li's words and believed that Tuli now had 150,000 elite cavalry and 150,000 elite cavalry! This made the tribe leaders who once only knew Jie Li to attack Tuli were shocked and worried.
