Chapter 721

The fifth update is here, please give me a recommendation vote!

After all, the Tang Dynasty is not stable now, so it is okay to go to the edge of the Great Wall to grab some cattle and sheep, but it is too early to say that it is necessary to leave the Great Wall and fight against the Turks. The Tang Dynasty does not have this ability and does not have enough logistics support.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that it is best to maintain the situation in the south of the desert at present. We accept Jie Li's request for surrender, and send troops to take over Jie Li's Khan Tee's tent and take advantage of Jie Li's territory to take advantage of it."

"Why would Jie Li be willing to give up his territory?"

"Jie Li is at the end of his life and the end of the road. If we ignore him, he will be destroyed. In the name of protecting him, we send troops to his territory, take Jie Li to Xiangyang, and send troops to help him defend. If Jie Li is unwilling, he will have to be destroyed, and he has no other choice."

Just like when Yang Jian sent Changsun Sheng to take Qimin Khan from Mobei to Monan, if he didn't come, he would have to stay and wait for death. If he went south, he would have to be controlled by the Sui Dynasty.

Choose one of two, Qimin had no choice but to choose to surrender. At that time, Jie Like also went south with his father to surrender to the Central Plains.

Now give Jie Li a choice of two. Li Chao believes that Jie Li will not choose to die so hard. If that is the case, he will not send anyone to send any fish glue.

This move was actually a trick that I had been playing. In the past, the people of Rouran and Xianbei liked to play this move, and they established puppets in the Central Plains. Later, people suddenly played like this, and they supported the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi. The Turkic Khan openly claimed that I had two children in the south. Later, Yang Jian unified the world and sowed the Turks, divided the weak and the strong, and divided the Turks, and internal struggles continued.

Yang Jian also has two children in the north.

Then at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shibi Khan almost captured Yang Guang alive, and then the Turks shook again. They took advantage of the Sui Dynasty to support countless anti-kings, and were both emperors and Khans. In short, they wanted the Central Plains to be divided into pieces, so that he would have many in the Central Plains.

Tang was also a son of the Turks back then.

But now, Tang has turned over and the Turks are about to call him Dad Tang again.

Li Chao said that if the Tang Dynasty had enough strength, there was no need to take Jie Li as a puppet, and go north and destroy them one by one.

But now I don’t have this strength, so I’d better use more means.

He accepted Jie Li's request to surrender, and then took the opportunity to send troops to protect Jie Li, occupied the Khanate in the south of the desert, and came forward to reconcile the civil war in the Turks.

Of course it is not a real harmony.

Anyway, I just told Tuli and Yu Sheshe that Jie Li will be a lackey in the Tang Dynasty in the future. You should look at the owner of the dog and don’t hit it. Of course, if you want to continue fighting, then you two will fight well. Whoever wins, the Tang Dynasty will be a little khan, and the Tang Dynasty will be named a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was a little unwilling to accept it after hearing this.

What a great opportunity. He would be happier if he died of a Turkic wolf cub. Jie Li was about to die, so he would definitely celebrate. But now he still had to protect Jie Li, so it would be unhappy to think about it.

But what Li Chao said makes sense. Now the Tang Dynasty does not have the strength to destroy Jie Li, Tu Li, Yu Shishi in Mobei. If they let them fight to the end, the result may be that a new wolf king will emerge from the Turks.

The new wolf king will integrate the Turkic tribes, and soon the Turkic people will become fierce again.

"What do you think, what Wen Yuan said?"

Li Jing felt that it would be better to use troops directly than to do this.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give me 50,000 troops, I dare to guarantee that I will destroy Jie Li first, then pacify Tu Li, Yu Shishi, and sweep across the desert!"

Li Shimin was a little hesitant. Li Jing was indeed very strong in using troops. Hedong and Hebei could be allocated.

He asked Li Chao, "Wenyuan, what do you think?"

"I don't doubt the ability of Wei Gong to use troops. But at present, the court has to support 50,000 troops to go deep into the grassland to fight, so it is not easy to log in with rice and salary."

Li Jing said, "You can use war to support the war."

"If you can defeat others without fighting, there is no need to fight. It is not easy for us now. If you are fighting a lot, you should try to avoid it." Li Chao said.

Li Jing glared at Li Chao, as if accusing Li Chao of not keeping his word. Yesterday, when he was drinking tea at the Li family, Li Chao agreed to support the use of troops. As a result, today, it changed immediately.

"Your Majesty, you can immediately send an envoy to the north to announce the court's resolution to Jie Li, and accept Jie Li's surrender. At the same time, you can send generals to lead troops north to Jie Li's territory, and send troops to escort Jie Li to Xiangyang."

Li Jing and Li Ji asked to lead the troops north together.

The company commander Sun Wuji intervened and asked to lead troops north.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin also felt that if he could defeat others without fighting and easily occupy Jie Li's territory in the south of the Mo area, it would be a good choice. If Jie Li could come to Xiangyang, then the Tang Dynasty could still use him, the great Turkic Khan, to borrow his reputation.

"I wrote the imperial edict, and wrote the imperial edict of Su Gui, Duke of Hanyang County, Zheng Yuanshu, and General Changsun Shunde of Zuo Xiaowei as envoys, heading to the south of the desert to Jie Li, Tu Li, Yu She set up an imperial edict."

"Li Jing is the chief marching manager of the South Mo Road, leading 30,000 troops to station in Dingxiang!"

Changsun Wuji stayed in Shuofang for more than half a year and had no achievements. He wanted to lead his army to attack. No matter whether he attacked Jie Li or Yu Shooting, he would have the opportunity to make some military achievements. He ran to Shuofang to blow the north wind, just to be able to make some military achievements like Li Chao?

Many people feel that Li Chao is the prime minister at a young age and has no objection. But when he becomes the prime minister, he thinks he is the queen's sister and thinks that he is not enough to sit in that position.

Changsun Wuji was very dissatisfied. What he lacked was some military merits. The Tang Dynasty valued military merits very much, but he had always followed the emperor to conquer the world. He just had never had the experience of being the only one and leading the side.

After going to Shuofang, he never got the opportunity to lead the troops to fight. He intended to go north to use troops, but the court refused.

The meeting ends.

Li Shimin left behind Li Chao, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and Li Ji.

“Eat some meal together.”

The meal is quite simple. Now even the hall of Zhengshitang has become much simpler. From twelve dishes to four dishes and one soup, two meats and two vegetables, no wine.

In the class system, each dish is not much.

Li Chao is not polite to eat, but Li Jing and Li Ji are much more restrained. The two border coaches only sympathized with the King of Qin during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but did not respond and support the King of Qin. After the successful coup in Xuanwu Gate, their status was a bit awkward.

Fortunately, Li Chao strongly recommended it, and Li Shimin also thought that they were still relatively neutral in the past, so he boldly activated the two of them. Now they have proved themselves to Li Shimin with their real achievements.

Li Shimin held a piece of Mapo tofu and stopped at his mouth, "Wenyuan, are you sure Jie Lizhen will lead his troops to join and come to Xiangyang?"

Li Chao chewed a fried whale steak, which tasted very delicious.

"Your Majesty, Jie Li has no other choice. Surrender or die. I believe Jie Li will surrender."

It has to be said that the Turks were actually very unconscionable in this regard. Or, they believed that the strong were respected and did not have so many moral integrity. Whether they were enemies or opponents in the past, if they were defeated, it would be normal to surrender.

In the powerful Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, during the Sui Dynasty, there were not too many Khans, chiefs, etc. on the grasslands. Not to mention the distance, just talk about the Turks in the Sui Dynasty. There were a few of them who did not submit to the Sui Dynasty. Many Khans were defeated and ran to Chang'an to serve as a companion for the emperor.

However, Li Chao felt that the strategies of the Sui Dynasty in the past were still insufficient in some aspects.

For example, it is so nice to these Turks who surrendered. They give them territory, pastures, food, and even help them fight. How could this happen?

It is possible to surrender, but the court can accept them, but they cannot be moved in and they can also be assigned territory. On the contrary, the court must strengthen control and truly put them under the control of the court.

Jie Li and some tribal chiefs came to Xiangyang. The Tang Dynasty wanted to send troops to station in their territory.

In the future, the Tang Dynasty even had to build military fortresses, station troops, farm farms, and even migrate the population in the future. For those Turkish herdsmen who surrendered, they should gradually strengthen control. For example, the Qing Dynasty's strategy for the Mongols was good, strengthened intermarriage, granted titles, divided feudal pastures, fixed them, and increased trade. It is best to raise these noble leaders in captivity, let them live a "good life", enjoy the luxurious life of the Han people, corrupt them, let them sell cattle, sheep and fur, and then live in earthen houses and stone houses, and gradually become the degenerate nobles raised in captivity.

The court will tax the herdsmen in the future and they will have to serve. In short, they will win over the upper class and turn the lower class into the people of the imperial court.

As long as you can gain a foothold on the grassland, build fortress chains, and divide and lock the grassland, not to mention controlling the northern part of the Mo River, at least the southern part of the Mo River south of Yinshan, can be controlled. It will take not many years for the Han people to immigrate a large number of Han people. When the Han people have a complete advantage in the population, the place will no longer be owned by the Hu people.

This is the ultimate advantage of the Han people, the tactics of the sea of ​​people, the population submerged them, and then completely assimilated them.

During the Jin Dynasty, the Hu people who were attached to him were moved inward, but the management was not strict, forming a country in the country, which eventually led to the Five Barbarians Rebellion and a tragic result.

The Sui Dynasty moved the Turks who were attached to the inner world south, which resulted in the Turks being unable to lose their fortunes in the southern tip of the desert, occupying Hetao, Daibei and other places. These are all lessons. It is okay to accept the inner world, but they must not be treated like this as a country in the country.

Otherwise, a big poisonous sore will only form in the heart of Central Plains, which will eventually endanger yourself.

"If Jie Li really surrenders and comes to Xiangyang south, how should Tuli and Yu Sheshe be treated?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty can grant Tuli the title of Khan in the east and Yush as Khan in the south. Then secretly provoke the two of them to fight. In this way, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"When one party annexes one party, wouldn't it be the only one that would dominate?"

"Don't worry about this. First of all, if Jie Li doesn't die, then Jie Li has always been the Great Khan. With Jie Li, no matter Tuli or Yu Shishi, we can't be the Great Khan. Moreover, Jie Li is not dead, we can still gather a lot of tribal populations in his name, which can avoid the great increase in the strength of Tuli or Yu Shishi annexing Jie Li's tribe. Furthermore, Jie Li's territory is stuck between Tuli and Yu Shishi. They fight, and they can only fight south of the sand sea to the north of Yinshan Mountain. No matter what the battle is, it is difficult to annex the other side. We can pay attention to them at any time, mediate from time to time, let them fight, but they can't swallow each other. Continuously consume their strength, so that we can ensure the security of the northern border, which means that when the time is ripe, we can defeat them in one fell swoop and recover the south of the desert."

"The ruler Ye Hu advanced eastward and was strong. Will he take the opportunity to unify Mobei?"

"There are Turks in the north of Mohe, and there are Tiel people. It is not easy to unify Yehu. Your Majesty is willing to enthrone Yi Nan as the Great Khan of Xueyantuo, and then enthrone a Turk in the north of Mohe as the Khan of the north of Mohe. This will make the situation in Mohe more complicated."
