Time flies in the blink of an eye, and another half a month has passed.
The Tibetan caravan has arrived, transporting a large amount of wool, war horses, cattle, etc. to Chang'an, and also exchanged for the things they need.
At the same time, some news about the frontier came through.
At this time, Li Shimin held several battle reports in his hand.
He seemed extremely happy.
Queen Changsun asked: "What's wrong with Your Majesty? Are you so happy?"
This is one of the few times Li Shimin is happy!
Although there were some in the past, they were very few.
Li Shimin laughed.
"Okay, okay! Great! It's simply great!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
Queen Changsun was at a loss.
"Queen, look, this is information about Tibet! There is good news in it!"
Li Shimin unfolded a piece of paper. There were some words densely written on it.
Queen Changsun took it and took a look.
His brows stretched.
"So, after the man named Lu Dongzan returned to Tubo, he asked their king to send troops and directly attacked Tuyuhun! The two armies fought!"
"That's it! My previous decision was right. It looks like everything is just as I thought!"
Li Shimin looked very happy.
He thought he did it.
Who knew that all this was secretly manipulated by Li Min.
If it weren't for him, how could Lu Dongzan mention Tuyuhun?
But Li Shimin stubbornly believed that this was what he did.
Who made him the emperor?
"The Tuyu Army's national strength is not as good as that of Tubo. This is undisputed. If one day it is annexed by the Tubo people, that would be bad! For us, we are equivalent to cultivating a powerful army.
enemy!"
On this point, the truth is this.
"No, they will continue to consume it. Tuyuhun is not a simple character. He will not be beaten down so quickly! I believe they will definitely stand up to resist!"
Li Shimin said very confidently.
"But it's also possible! Don't underestimate it."
"It's impossible. They keep consuming it. When the time comes, I will carry out the purge in other names. How long can Tubo exist?"
Li Shimin thought simply. Tubo is a vast territory and cannot be conquered in a day or two.
"But, I think the Tugu Army really can't hold on for long!"
Empress Changsun still insists on her opinion, and her opinion is also well-founded. There is an obvious difference between one strong and one weak.
Li Shimin smiled.
"It says it above, but you can see that there is something else on the second page. A secret force is secretly assisting Tuyuhun so that he can remain in a stalemate with the Tubo people! As a result, they will definitely continue to be at war with each other!"
This secret force is Li Min.
He secretly supported Tuyuhun so that they could resist the Tibetan invasion. In this way, the Tang Dynasty's frontiers would be stable.
Generally speaking, this kind of war will not end if it does not last for three to five years.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Datang can develop well and become more powerful!
As long as Li Min is given time, he can make Datang develop faster!
Next, it is time to conquer the Tubo people.
"Who could this secret force be?"
Queen Changsun guessed.
Li Shimin said:
"It doesn't matter who it is! As long as it's beneficial to us, that's fine!"
That being said, if you don't understand it, it won't be a good thing for you, right?
What if it is a hostile force?
It seems that Li Shimin doesn't want to know.
But Queen Changsun had some thoughts.
"I heard that Min'er also did business with Tuyuhun during this period of time. Could it be him?"
she asked.
Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
If that's the case, maybe it's still possible.
So what is the purpose of Li Min doing this?
"Why did he do this?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Maybe he heard what my uncle said about... about the four girls around him. Maybe it's because he doesn't want them to get married..."
This may be something they can think of.
That's a small thing.
Li Min did not want his woman to marry a Tibetan.
Therefore, he helped Tuyuhun.
In fact, Li Min didn't take it to heart at all, and there was no need to take it to heart.
"Really? Forget it, don't worry about him. By the way, there is another piece of news here, you might be happy!"
Li Shimin then took out another piece of paper.
When Empress Changsun saw it, the expression on her face became very soothing.
"This...is this true?"
"Yes! It's true. Dulu Khan is seriously ill and I'm afraid he won't have much time to live. This is better news for us. After all, if the Turks are in chaos, for us, it means annihilation.
This is a good opportunity to defeat them, and different khans will have different views on the frontiers when they come to power. I heard that his younger brother is most likely to become khan, and his younger brother is very weak and not worth mentioning!"
Li Shimin said very happily.
This Dulu Khan was the Khan of the Western Turks, the same Khan that Li Chengqian dealt with in Liangzhou.
Li Chengqian has been here for more than half a year, but he has not been able to completely defeat these Turks. This is partly because Li Chengqian's ability is not good enough.
On the other hand, these people are too difficult to deal with.
The Turks are very huge, and Li Chengqian's strength alone cannot penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Turks.
Therefore, he could only stay in Liangzhou.
This defense lasted for half a year, which was a very painful thing for him.
Therefore, when the Western Turk Dulu Khan became seriously ill, things took a turn for the better.
As long as he dies, the Turks may become extinct.
With this said, Li Chengqian can come back.
This is why Queen Changsun is happy.
"In this way, Gan'er will be back, and it will be great for the Tang Dynasty's border generals to be worry-free. God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
This is the view of Queen Changsun.
"That's of course. Every once in a while, that kid will come back with a message from a flying pigeon, and I've also seen his growth. It makes me feel relieved!"
However, when Li Chengqian comes back, what will happen to the position of prince?
Now, there is another Li Ke to compete.
Of course, there is also Li Yun, the dean of science.
Both of these two people will be Li Chengqian's powerful opponents.
Everything depends on how Li Shimin arranges it.
"I hope his relationship with Li Min can get better. After all, they are brothers too. What can't be said between brothers? What can't be said properly?"
Queen Changsun said with emotion.
Li Min and Li Chengqian had a bad relationship.
This has been there from the beginning.
Li Chengqian regarded Li Min as his enemy.
But Li Min didn't take Li Chengqian into his eyes at all.
That's the difference.
"Let's talk about this later. I hope they can all grow up!"
Li Shimin sighed.
"I hope so."
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered something.
Then he ordered: "Come, let Dai Zhou enter the palace. I have something to ask!"
