"I am the emperor in person to fight. You are the marshal of the marshal. I will then transfer Shubao and Jingde to the vanguards of the left and right."

Li Shimin stood in the hall, holding a teacup in his hand, very excited. When he thought of taking advantage of Tong Ye Hu's illness, he directly killed him, destroyed Tong Ye Hu, took down the Western Regions, and restored the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion in the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin couldn't help but be excited.

"Your Majesty, I do not oppose the Western Expedition, but it should not be the Western Expedition at this time, and Your Majesty should not personally expedition."

Li Chao spoke out inappropriately next to him.

"What?" Li Shimin thought he had heard it wrong, turned around and stared at Li Chao.

"Your Majesty, I object to Your Majesty's personal expedition to the Western Regions at this time."

"The Turks have always been a major problem with the Central Plains. Now the Tang Dynasty has the opportunity to wipe out the Turks, so why not fight?"

"I said that I don't oppose the Western Expedition, but I don't need to fight in person at the moment, and even the Tang Dynasty's expedition at this time. Although Tongye Hu defeated Mo Hedu, his vitality was greatly damaged, especially since Monan has been owned by the Tang Dynasty and Mobei has been wiped out for Yi Nan. Tongye Hu has not even completely wiped out the Western Expedition. What did he use to fight against the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chao understood Li Shimin's urgent desire to destroy the Turks. After all, the Turks had been under the Tang Dynasty for so long. But this was not the way of fighting. He was planning for the military. Overall strategy, the Tang army was not prepared for a large-scale western expedition.

Fighting a war, especially a big battle, is not that simple.

If there are fewer soldiers mobilized, the expedition may fail. If there are more soldiers mobilized, there will be too many preparations. Moreover, the more soldiers, the more difficult it is to marche and make supplies.

Yang Guangsan’s past experience in Liaodong is not far away.

Besides, although the Tang Dynasty has won many victories in recent years, the Tang Dynasty’s strength is not as strong as invincible. More so, it is cleverly taking advantage of the snob.

Last year, Hedong rejected the Turks, and then fought against Goguryeo this year, and then defeated the Turks, which was very difficult.

If it weren't for the rebellion of Xueyantuo in Mobei, coupled with the instigation of Mohedu in Moxi, and the defeat of Tuli and Yu Sheshi, Tang's strength would actually be beyond the Turks.

Now I have to go to the Western Regions and go to Ye Hu's hometown to fight. Li Chao believes that the time is wrong.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Tang Dynasty does not need to send troops personally to the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Khitan, Xi, and Wei tribes to fight Yehu together, and we can even transfer Tubo to fight."

In Li Chao's view, although these vassal states surrendered to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, their strength was very strong. When the Tang Dynasty was strong, they would naturally be honest. If the Tang Dynasty encountered great defeat and its strength was greatly damaged, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not backfire again.

The Tang Dynasty chose a general to be the commander, and by the way, it would be enough to form a coalition force and then fight the west. You could even contact the Persian Sassanid Dynasty, or even contact the Byzantine Empire, so that they could also join forces with Ye Hu.

Well, the countries in the Western Regions, such as Gaochang, and other small countries that surrendered to the Western Turks, can also instigate them to rebel.

In short, we will first attract more people and destroy the Tongye Guard. Even if we temporarily support Mo Hedu, we will not be afraid of keeping the Western Turks first. In short, we will take it step by step.

First, let’s kill Tong Ye Hu, a guy who has been a Turkic Khan, and then it will be easy to operate.

Li Chao also made the same suggestion when he fought against Tubo last time.

Li Shimin didn't listen at that time, but later he still formed a coalition force, but the result was not very good. Now Li Chao said he was going to form a coalition force again, and Li Shimin frowned in dissatisfaction.

"It is impossible to destroy the Turks, and it is unreliable to rely on outsiders."

"Your Majesty, even if you want to fight, you won't be in a hurry. Let the coalition forces first consume the strength of the vassals and attack the Tongye Hu. It would be best if they can defeat them. If they can't defeat them, the court will have enough preparations and pick peaches at that time."

"What you said makes sense." Li Shimin calmed down and felt that it was indeed safer to do so. "Then let you take charge of the command of the Western Expedition."

Li Chao refused without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I have just returned from Hebei."

Li Chao was also annoyed when he fought against the east and west. Besides, he didn't think that he could fight the Tang Dynasty alone.

"You'll work harder."

"Your Majesty, I refuse." Li Chao was very rude. Since Li Shimin was not polite, he didn't have to be polite.

Li Shimin was choked, and Li Chao was surprised that he refused so much.

"Your Majesty, I am a little uncomfortable and need to be recuperated."

·······

Li Shimin, who was a little angry, refused to stay in the palace for food, and Li Chao went out of the palace and went home.

After leaving home for another half a year, the family has added five children.

He only knew about these children in the letter, and had never even seen one of them.

At the pier opposite Yuliangzhou, the carriage at home has come and waited.

"Prince." Old Butler Li smiled and saluted.

"Uncle Li, don't be polite, go home."

The four-wheeled carriage with the Li family emblem on the Ba started and moved forward slowly. Li Chao pulled the butler to sit in the carriage and asked about the recent situation at home.

The carriage was galloping by, surrounded by the Li family's servants, all riding tall horses, and the students of Li Chao were led.

The five founding marquises and four founding princes plus one founding prince. In addition to Su Lie, Li Chao's ten military officers and disciples rode their horses to open the way, and there was no one else in this momentum.

Wang Xuance and four of them have made many contributions in the past few years. Before entering the capital this time, they had already been awarded the title of the court and were all awarded the title of the county magistrate of Kaiguo. Although they were not a real title and had no territory, they were the count after all. Even Zhu Tu, who was the latest to enter the capital, was granted a founding emperor due to his strong record.

The team drove into Xiangyang City, and pedestrians on the roadside looked at each other.

"Li Linggong's carriage."

"Li Linggong is powerful, even his disciples are powerful."

"No, I have eleven descendants of military strategy under the Lord's school, one county official, five county marquis, four county magistrates, and one county magistrate, and one county magistrate, and one county magistrate is Zhongwu!"

Some people are very interested in the family emblem on the Li family carriage.

"What's the drawing on it?"

In ancient China, there was no tradition of family emblems. To put it earlier, in the ancient Chinese tribe era, various tribes advocated totems. Primitive clan tribes used an animal or natural object as a special mark. The Nuwa clan used snakes as totems, and Xia Yu's ancestors used yellow bears as totems.

People carve totems on caves and tools and serve as symbols of war and sacrifice.

From the clan flag and clan emblem to the national flag and national emblem, it has become a symbol of distinguishing hierarchy and self-existence.

"Shan Hai Jing? Wu Zang Shan Jing" records that the dragon totem clan is basically in the south; the bird totem clan is mainly distributed in eastern Henan and western Hubei Province; the snake totem clan is in the northern and central Shanxi; the horse, cattle, sheep totem clan is in Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places; the pig totem clan is mainly distributed in western, southern, northern and southern Hebei Province.

It can be said that the development of the family emblem in ancient China stopped at this stage.

The emperor has twelve heralds, but the emperors of each dynasty have this set, so they cannot be regarded as separate family emblems.

The reason for this situation is easy to understand. The main reason is that China entered the era of centralization, Qin abolished feudalism and divided counties and the court appointed officials.

In fact, whether it is the European family emblem or the Japanese samurai family emblem, they are actually products of the feudal system. Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been no longer considered a real feudal system.

But now, the Tang Dynasty began to have family emblems again.

This is also a new fashion that Li Baishang began to lead. Of course, not every family is qualified to get the family emblem. It must be the vassal of the territorial princes to be qualified.

If you need to register with the Ministry of Rites of the court, the family emblem of each of the actual princes is different to show the difference.

In some ways, this family emblem actually has the same meaning as the founding of the country before the titles of the princes, and it is also a kind of glory.

The addition of the founding of a country before the title is not really a way to open a country, but just a glory, just like the founding of a government in front of officials. Now the court allows the founding of a marquis to have their own family emblem, which is actually a glory.

The surname Li is one of the clans of Jiuli.

According to ancient books, Gao Yao was the ancestor of the Li family, Li was the tiger, and he could also be written as Li, and he could be written as Li, and he was written as Li, both homophonic to false and homophonic.

Therefore, in ancient times, the totem of the surname Li was composed of three parts: tiger, wood and son. Tiger represents the ancestor Shaohao of Gaoyao, and wood represents the totem of the Xuanniao clan of Gaoyao. Zi is a bird egg and symbolizes descendants. The totem of the surname Li symbolizes the descendants of the white tiger Shaohao.

According to history, Gao Yao was a Dali; it is also said that Gao Yao's descendants were chased and killed because they advised King Zhou of Shang, and were saved by eating Li fruits to satisfy hunger. They were given the surname "Li". A Xie Zhi acted as a devouring force and tended to be a vain person and a common clan.

After the imperial court established the family emblem, the Li family of the royal family chose dragons and tigers.

The royal family represented by dragon nature, tiger is the Li family totem, and there is a plum tree between dragon and tiger. This is the royal family emblem, Li Chao is given the surname and included in the genealogy, and is also considered a royal family.

But Li Chao is also the Li family in Bashang, and is considered a royal branch.

Therefore, the family emblem of the Li family on the Bashang is also a tiger, and there are two plum branches and leaves crossed.

Between these two plum branches and leaves, there is a white tiger and a black bird.

The Xuanbird, shaped like a swallow, is a divine bird in ancient legend and one of the bidding in the Li family totem.

The family emblems of the Bashang Li and the royal family are not very different. The royal family is the golden dragon and the white tiger plus the plum tree, while the Bashang Li is the white tiger, and the black bird plus the plum tree branch.

Li's family has a great business and various industries are everywhere. Since Li Chao selected this family emblem, all Li Ji's industries have begun to add the family emblem of the white tiger, black bird, Li Shuzhi.

Li Chao is now home. On the carriage, the flags set by the generals next to him, and even the clothes they wear are embroidered with the family emblem of the white tiger, black bird, plum tree branches.

This is the dazzling logo of the feudal princes. If you can get a family emblem, it will definitely be the enfeoffment of the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, families who are qualified to own a family emblem are only a hundred.

If you do not have a real seal of territory, even if you are the prime minister, you are not qualified to get a family badge. If you set up a family badge in private, it is a crime.

"This white tiger, black bird, plum tree branch emblem is so beautiful." Many people sighed.

"Of course it looks good. Do you think ordinary people can use white tigers and plum branches? Those who can use white tigers must be branches of royal families, and those who can use plum branches must also be from the Li family. As for dragons, they can only be used by royal families."

The Changsun family, the Dugu family and the Dou family, are composed of three divine birds, including Phoenix, Qingluan and Vermilion Bird. There are also some specialties in using these three divine birds, which means that their family has a queen.

The mother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Dugu, his wife was Dou, and the current queen was Changsun, and the princess was Li.

Therefore, the phoenix, Qingluan, Zhuque and the Xuanbi of the Li family are actually very particular, indicating that they are the descendants.

"It turns out that the Xuanniao in the Li family embrace in Bashang has this meaning."

"Of course, Li Xiang's eldest daughter is the crown princess, and will he be the queen in the future?"

"So, the embossment of the Li family in Bashang is so awesome. It is the white tiger of the royal family and the mysterious bird of the Hou tribe!"

"No, you don't even look at the family situation of Li Baishang. The eight nobles in Zhenguan are the best!"

"The situation of Li's family today in Bashang was achieved by Li Xiang with one sword and one shot. In terms of achievements, it would have been enough for Li Xiang to be the king!"

Many people nodded, and some said that it would be better to be a king for Li Xiang than to be a king for those foreign leaders.
