"Oh? Du Aiqing also thinks I should send troops to attack Jieli?"
Tai Chi Hall.
Du Ruhui came out more and more, and Li Er's eyes lit up and asked with a
smile.
Li Erbi knows that Datang is not ready for a full-scale war with Turks, but it
is one thing not to be prepared, and it is another thing to dare to fight, as
long as the decision is made to fight, the entire Datang operation Get up, the
speed of preparing for battle will definitely be fast!
Du Ruhui arched his hands and said: "Returning to your majesty, the old
minister thinks that what Lu Guogong said is reasonable. Datang does not need
to be honest with Jieli, because sooner or later he will violate the covenant.
Now the chaos in Turkistan is a good time to attack! What's more, attacking
countries with civil strife has been a custom since ancient times. Datang
cannot be afraid of the covenant and miss out on fighters~!"
"Fang Mou Du Jue" really lives up to its name, Du Ruhui has a sharp eye, and
directly asserts that the original covenant is a piece of waste paper in the
eyes of the Turkic people!
When Du Ruhui finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin immediately said excitedly:
"Hehe! Lao Du, I didn’t see Lao Cheng before, and I didn’t find that you are
also a tough one. I don’t care about you! Hehe! This is how I am. I used to
apologize to you for clumsy eyesight, and when you get better another day, I
will invite you to drink~!"
After all, the servant patted Du Ruhui's shoulder lightly. He looked very
intimate, just like a good buddy who had known each other for many years.
Du Ruhui's mouth twitched slightly, and then moved two steps imperceptibly to
the side, keeping a "safe distance" from Cheng Yaojin, and then arched his
hands expressionlessly: "Guogong Lu, the old man is just discussing matters,
not personal relations, please go to Lu Guogong. Self-respect!"
"Hey! Good! Good! Good! My old Cheng respects himself!"
Cheng Yaojin was boring, so he touched his nose, laughed, and stood back to
his original position.
This is just an episode.
At this time, seeing that Cheng Yaojin was no longer making noise, Fang
Xuanling came out more and more, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister
thinks that Keming is right. Now the Turkic civil strife is a godsend for my
Datang. Jie Libing approached the city, and the reason why he wanted to make
an agreement with Datang was because he couldn't understand the reality of
Chang'an City, and he didn't dare to attack the city. It was definitely not
because he wanted to build an eternal life with me!
Foreign Turks have been watching my Central Plains for many years. Once they
are ready, or if there is a civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, they will
disregard the covenant and directly attack the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, instead of waiting for Jieli to attack us, it is better to
immediately start organizing troops to attack Jieli! Now I have a large number
of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, with sufficient food and grass, and earnestly
preparing for three or four months, I will definitely be able to fight Jieli!
Otherwise, wait until the Tuli Khan is destroyed, and Jieli's family
dominates, then I will attack Jieli again at that time, I don't know how many
more men will die! "
Li Er nodded, just about to speak, Kong Yingda stepped forward and said: "Your
Majesty, the old minister thinks it is inappropriate to do this! Datang is a
kingdom of heaven and ceremonies, how can such treachery be done? He secretly
hides evil intentions, but as long as he does not take the initiative and does
not violate the covenant, then we cannot send troops! Otherwise, where is the
prestige of the court? Where is your majesty's monarchy? Who else will believe
my Datang promise in the future?"
Changsun Wuji also handed his hand: "Kong Jijiu is right! Since Datang is a
country of gentlemen, there must be a gentleman's style! If we send troops
first, we can certainly win the initiative, but we will also be influenced by
the world. Spurn, by then, the teacher of justice will become the teacher of
innocence, and other neighboring countries will no longer believe my promise
of Datang. For Datang, the gain will not be worth the loss!
Furthermore, even if we do not attack the Turks now, we can still prepare
secretly, recruit good soldiers and horses, and hoard good food and grass.
Once the Turks tear up the covenant or make a move that violates the covenant,
it will not be too late for us to attack! Even if Tuuli is destroyed and the
Jieli family dominates, but we are fully prepared, we may not suffer their
losses~! "
"Om~!"
"The minister agrees, Datang must not lose face! Your majesty's monarchy must
not be lost! The court can secretly mobilize soldiers and horses, but it must
not take the initiative to tear up the covenant!"
Xiao Yu, Shangshu of Hubu, stepped forward and arched his hands.
"The ministers seconded~!"
After Kong Yingda and Changsun Wuji have said these two things, the civil and
military officials in the court are all awakened from a dream, and more and
more officials have spoken in support. Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and Du
Ruhui seemed a little bit trendy for a while. Single force alone, alone tree
hard to support!
This has nothing to do with factional struggles. In the early Tang Dynasty,
there were basically no factional struggles in the court. The reason why these
officials did not agree with the court to send troops was not because they
wanted to stand in the same camp as Changsun Wuji, but because Changsun Wuji
and Kong Yingda said That makes sense!
Great country promises! If Datang didn't believe his words, he would certainly
be able to gain a little bit of opportunity in the war against Turks, but he
lost the national prestige, and he couldn't make up for it!
Li Zexuan, who was in the civilian camp, couldn't help frowning when he saw
this scene. Although he was also the main fighter, he also had to admit that
there was some truth in what Changsun Wuji had said to Kong Yingda. As a big
country in the Central Plains, he naturally had to pay attention. The prestige
of the country cannot be changed day by day, or the prestige will be lost, and
no country will believe in Datang anymore. The loss is really too great!
After all, although the current Datang is strong, it is not strong enough to
compete with the nations of the world without any allies!
Li Er, sitting on the top of the head, could not see the situation of the
court at the moment. He knew that with the current situation, Datang was
determined not to send troops to support Tuli. He frowned, pondered for a long
time, and was about to speak. When announcing that he would not send troops, a
guard ran in from outside the hall, bowed his fist and said:
"Report~! Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the Khitan chief has arrived outside
the palace! At the same time, the envoy of the Jie Li Khan faction has also
arrived!"
As soon as his voice fell, the civil and military officials on the court
suddenly became a little confused!
"What? Chief Khitan and Khan Jieli sent envoys at the same time?"
"What are they trying to do?"
"What would Jie Li want to do badly?"
A few quarters of an hour ago, Tuli’s son and the sent envoys had just left
the palace, but now the Khitan tribe under Tuli’s previous jurisdiction and
Tuli’s deadly enemy Jie Li Khan sent envoys at the same time!
The early days of the Tang Dynasty were never as lively as they are today!
In fact, it's not just the hundreds of officials who were bewildered. Li Er,
who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also a little confused at this
moment. Lao Li closed his eyes and pondered for a while before suddenly
commanding: "Let the envoys from the Khitan tribe come to see me in advance! "
"Here!"
The guard in front of the hall clasped his fists and promised, then turned and
left the Tai Chi Hall!
After a while, the guard led three Turkic people into the Taiji Hall. When the
three saw Li Er, they respectfully bowed to a Han, and a Khitan at the head
spoke a non-standard Chinese. , Said loudly: "Qimi Liangwu of the Khitan tribe
has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty!"
"Free gift!"
Li Er waved his hand and asked directly: "The Khitan chief Pyer waited for the
pilgrimage, what happened?"
Qi Mi Liangwu bowed and said: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor of the
Tang Dynasty, Qi Mi Liangwu is here to represent our chieftain and show
allegiance to the Tang court. The chieftain has led the people from Yunzhou to
enter the Great Tang, is now coming towards Chang'an City, hoping that your
majesty can take in the Khitan tribe, and the Khitan tribe is willing to swear
allegiance to your majesty~!"
After the Turli Khan, the Khitan tribe of the East Turks would also return to
the Tang Dynasty?
Everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide, and cried out unbelievably!
Within a day, the two major forces of the East Turks were about to surrender
to the Tang dynasty. Is it true that the Turks have split the way?
Li Er was not dazzled by joy, his gaze sank, and he asked: "The Khitan tribe
is also considered a strong tribe among the tribes of the East Turks. It's so
good, why should the chief of your Khitan tribe lead the tribe? Return to my
Datang?"
Qi Mi Liangwu hurriedly said: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor of the
Tang Dynasty, the Khitan tribe was originally under the jurisdiction of the
Tuli Khan, but since the beginning of this year, the contradiction between
Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan has deepened. Recently, the swordsmen are facing each
other. The Khan ordered my ministry to attack the Tuli Khan, but my Khitan
chief had been greatly favored by Shibi Khan, how can I hurt his descendants?
Therefore, my chief did not receive an order. UU read www.uukanshuu.com but
Jieli The Khan sent troops to retaliate, and in the end he could only bring
all the tribes and come back to the Tang Dynasty! I implore your Majesty to
take in the Khitan tribe~!"
"Om~!"
The faces of the people in Chaotang are full of surprises!
The strength of the Khitan tribe is good. Their chiefs can lead the tribe and
take the initiative to return to the Tang Dynasty, which not only weakens the
strength of the East Turks, but also increases the strength of the Tang
Dynasty in a disguised manner. In such a good thing, it can only be said that
it is God Blessed Don~!
"That's it~!"
Li Er understood his heart and pondered for a moment. He sighed: "Chief Erbu
is also a kind and righteous person. Since Jie Li can't afford to wait for
you, then as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I naturally welcome you to come
to my Tang! You can send troops and horses to pick up the chiefs of the Uygur
Department~!"
Regarding Li Er's decision, no one opposed it. After all, the descendant army
sent to the door should not be for nothing!
Qi Mi Liangwu said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Datang!"
Li Er nodded contentedly, and said: "You wait for all the chariots, let's go
back to the post and rest! I will immediately send someone to meet your
chief!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Datang! Qi Mi Liangwu retire~!"
Qi Mi Liangwu saluted, and then pushed out the hall.
Li Er's eyes narrowed, and he commanded: "The messenger of Chuan Jieli comes
in!"
"Pass Jieli Khan to make an audience~!"
"Pass Jieli Khan to make an audience~!"
His own ** spread Li Er's will out loudly. After a while, a strong Turkic
man with two medium-sized Turkic men walked into the hall.
The Turkic man has not yet reported his identity, but Li Er, who sits on top
of his head, couldn't help but exclaimed, "It turned out to be you?"
