Chapter 768: The Tang Dynasty was attacked from both sides
On this day, in the Daming Palace.
Li Shimin smiled happily and looked relaxed.
Below are the civil and military officials.
He said: "So King Tuyuhun sent an envoy to join me, the Tang Dynasty? This is a good thing!"
His first reaction was that it was a good thing. After all, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was about to expand. It had been several years since Datang's territory had been expanded, and now there was an opportunity!
However, this is not something people do willingly, but they are forced to do so.
At this time, someone said: "Your Majesty, this is the case. King Tuyuhun was defeated by Tubo's Songchanganbu, and he never dared to fight! Even if he had supplies, he could not resist the Tubo army! So they thought it was better to submit to me.
Don!”
The supplies the man was talking about were very obvious.
This is Li Min's supply.
Previously, Li Min wanted the war between the two countries to continue, and the Tang Dynasty would be stable for a period of time.
But unexpectedly, King Tuyuhun didn't seem to make any progress. After fighting for more than half a year, he thought of giving up and wanted to help the Tang Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Tubo people.
In fact, until now, he still doesn't understand why Song Zanganbu wants to attack him.
This made him very frightened.
Maybe he thought that because of his land relationship, the Tubo people would covet him?
Who knew that Li Min was behind all of this?
Because of the Princess of Tang Dynasty!
During this period of time, they had been able to resist the Tibetans for a period of time with supplies.
Now, he never thought that the biggest rich man behind him was actually a young man, nor did he think that he was in trouble because of a young man.
Now, he proposes to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and everything depends on Li Shimin's decision. If possible, that is the best thing!
"This King Tuyuhun is cautious by nature. He suddenly surrendered today. He must want to use my Tang army to defend against the Tubo people! Your Majesty, think twice!"
Fang Xuanling said.
He is sober, because nothing is good without reason!
Why come at this time instead of coming early or late?
Cheng Yaojin said: "Don't agree, we don't need to get involved in this trouble! Let them fight for a while longer!"
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to go to the army.
After all, if you surrender, Tuyuhun will be regarded as the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tubo people invade, why don't you send troops?
Li Shimin is still thinking.
Dai Zhou came out and said: "The Tuyuhun people are good at raising horses. In normal times, the importance of these horses is self-evident. But now, with the widespread promotion of electric vehicles, the horses seem not to be very useful! Moreover, although they also grow barley
, millet, and beans, but the quantity is too small, and the climate is not suitable for too many crops! For us, apart from the land, there is no place that makes us feel good!"
The implication is that Li Shimin is not allowed to absorb Tuyuhun.
This is a hot potato.
Because he has nothing particularly good to give to Datang.
Meanwhile, there are others who have also found opinions.
Some people say that Tuyuhun is not as good as Japan.
The Japanese country can also be used for planting, and the climate is more suitable.
Therefore, the vast majority of people refused Tuyuhun to join the Tang Dynasty.
Others said: "Nationalities are different, and their folk customs are even more different. How to govern them is another problem!"
But Li Shimin had different ideas.
He said: "Let's not decide what he has, but let's talk about if we don't accept it, where will Tuyuhun go? Will he stop insisting and turn to Tubo? If so, will the Tubo people become more powerful, thus
Disturbing my border?"
Li Shimin stands at different heights.
Thinking even more differently.
This kind of thing has two sides, and whether you agree or not will have different results.
And this is a big deal, so you must be cautious, otherwise you will create some huge pressure on yourself.
If so, that would be bad.
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone became quiet.
This incident was caused by Li Min.
If he knew what Tuyuhun wanted to do, he must have a way to solve it.
Therefore, some people want to ask him what he thinks.
But Li Shimin is here, who dares to leave?
At the same time, a eunuch came to report.
"Report, there is a letter from Youzhou!"
"Send it up!"
At this time, a letter came from Youzhou?
Li Shimin was a little puzzled.
At the same time, after the letter is submitted.
He took a closer look.
Throw the letter directly on the ground.
"These Japanese are so brave!"
Everyone wondered what happened.
Fang Xuanling walked over and picked up the letter.
As soon as I saw it, I read it.
The general meaning is that Japan reached some kind of agreement with Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo.
It probably means that they are going to form an alliance.
As a result, there will be some unstable factors in the east.
If they each take sides, then Datang will naturally not be afraid.
But if we form an alliance, the future will be different.
There will be big changes in the east.
Unexpectedly, after Li Shimin stole gold from the Japanese, these people did not have a long memory and directly wanted to use the power of other countries to threaten the Tang Dynasty. Such ambitions are really disgusting!
Having said that, at this time, it seems to be clear when it comes to the matter of Tuyuhun.
In the end, Li Shimin didn't give everyone much time to discuss, he gave the order directly.
"Accept Tuyuhun as a slave!"
The meaning of what he did was obvious.
If you do not accept it,
Once Tuyuhun was swallowed up, the Tang Dynasty would be in great trouble.
If you accept it, there will still be a buffer zone. If Qisong Changanbu wants to fight, he will have to look at Datang's face.
In this way, things will not be attacked.
Otherwise, if the Japanese and other three countries invaded, and Tibet invaded from the west, the Tang Dynasty would be plunged into war.
At this time, no one questioned Li Shimin's decision anymore.
This is also the best way.
I'm afraid there is no better way than this.
But if Li Min were to handle this matter, it would definitely be done in another way.
Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese state.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, please step aside. My head hurts."
Li Shimin's mood was good at first, but now it has become bad.
This originated from everything the Japanese country did.
At this time, he was thinking, did he do something wrong?
If Li Min was asked to handle the previous affairs of the Japanese state, how would he handle it?
When I think of this, my head hurts again.
Therefore, I went to court early.
At this time, he just needs to be quiet.
At the same time, news about the surrender of King Tuyuhun and the Japanese alliance with Baekje and other three countries spread directly in Chang'an City.
Li Min, who was on top of the tenement building, also received relevant news.
He thought a little.
As for the person standing next to him, it was Fang Xuanling.
This time, it was Fang Xuanling who took the initiative to tell the news about Tuyuhun.
Perhaps he also wanted to get some solutions from Li Min.
But there are some solutions that Li Min will not tell him and can only be dealt with in secret.
It seems like today, Li Min is about to make a decision.
