Yu Wenbao didn't understand this very much and always felt that these people were too unscrupulous.
One moment he was fighting for the Turks, and the next moment he was cheering for the Tang Dynasty.
Their clansmen, their brothers, and even their fathers may still be lying on the battlefield, but they seem to have forgotten.
"Don't understand?"
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao with a confused look on his face after delivering the gift, and asked with a smile.
Yu Wenbao nodded seriously.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't understand, because if you understand, you will not be a Tang person, but a Turk."
Yu Wenbao was even more confused and said subconsciously: "Are these people reliable?"
"Reliability means reliability, because the Turks are not as thoughtful as we Tang people, and everything is superficial. How they behave now is what they think in their hearts.
But if your Highness cannot fulfill his promise to them, then they will definitely fall out with your Highness."
Li Shimin interjected with a hum at this time, seeming to vent his dissatisfaction that Li Yuanji deprived him of the opportunity to reunite with his family, and also seemed to despise the various promises Li Yuanji made to Zada.
The more miserable, poor and uneducated people are, the more they accept death.
For the Tang Dynasty, there was no doubt that the Western Regions was a very miserable, poor, and uneducated place, and all the people in the Western Regions were more accepting of death.
How far have you recognized it?
I have realized that every spit is a nail.
So all the words they say and all the promises they make must be followed.
If you don't follow it, they will betray you without hesitation on the grounds that you betrayed them.
So after they proved their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty must accept them and give them all the benefits promised to them.
In Li Shimin's view, Li Yuanji gave too much, and it was given all at once, which cut off the opportunity to regret and win over his heart bit by bit.
After all, conquering people's hearts is a gradual process.
Rewarding little by little, giving benefits little by little, and driving them to do whatever you want them to do in the process is a qualified process.
Give them all the benefits at once, and when they have finished digesting them and cannot get any new benefits, they will start to ask for benefits before doing things.
As time went by, when their greed grew bigger and their appetites grew bigger, and the Tang Dynasty could no longer satisfy them, they would still betray.
It might even turn into a ferocious tiger that was raised by the Tang Dynasty himself and would bite back the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Shimin felt that Li Yuanji's work was very rough and unskilled.
Li Yuanji guessed what Li Shimin was thinking through Li Shimin's words and his expression, but he didn't say much.
Li Shimin only saw that he promised many benefits to Zada and Zada's tribe, but he did not see that he needed Zada and Zida's tribe to prove their loyalty.
If you really care about this kind of idealistic thing, there is no upper limit.
Therefore, he could recognize the loyalty of Zada and Zada's tribe after they helped him win several battles, or he could recognize their loyalty after Zada and Zida's tribesmen were all dead.
What counts as loyalty is up to him.
Therefore, he can rely on this to firmly control Zada and Zada's tribe.
This is the same as the spokesmen of various religions in the Western Regions discussing piety.
What kind of piety is considered piety depends entirely on what they say.
They can say that the person who offers a bouquet of flowers is the most devout believer of gods and Buddhas, and they can also say that the person who offers the lives of his whole family is the most devout believers of gods and Buddhas.
Whether they are pious or not is entirely up to them.
They also used this to deceive the people of the Western Regions for more than a thousand years. Until later generations when information was developed, there were still some people who were deceived by them.
Therefore, it is definitely a smart and wise feat for later generations to get rid of feudal superstition.
He was taken advantage of by bad people and did a lot of harm to people.
"What should we do next?"
After Han Liang left with three thousand soldiers and a group of Turks who had begun to look forward to a new life, Li Yuanji ordered Yu Wenbao to take some people to relieve the siege of Maling City, and then ordered the remaining people to stay where they were.
Set up camp and clean the battlefield at the same time.
After the Chinese army's tent was set up, Li Yuanji invited Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to sit down, stared at Li Shimin and asked.
Li Shimin sat lazily in a corner of the tent, wrapped himself in fur, and snorted: "You don't even allow me to see your sister-in-law and nephew, why should I help you?
Go and ask the devout servant you just conquered."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin said with a look of disdain: "Return to my noble king, my servant, he is not afraid of nausea, and you are not afraid of disgust..."
Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "Are you jealous?"
Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Would I be jealous?!"
Li Yuanji also laughed and said: "But I think you are very happy when you listen to other people's praise? Now that people start to praise me, you are unhappy again. Aren't you jealous?"
Li Shimin's resolute face showed a hint of blush, and he argued angrily: "Would I be jealous of you? When I led the troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others, I was praised by all of them. I don't know how many people wanted to prostrate themselves.
Kissed my boots in front of me, but I didn't even respond.
Would I be jealous of you?"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin said sarcastically: "If I remember correctly, when I led the troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou, you were being beaten by Song Jingang under Liu Wuzhou's command until you were hiding in bed and crying, right?
After I surrendered Yu Chigong, you kept challenging him to test your skills and causing trouble for him. Isn't that the reason?"
Yuchi Gong initially served as a general under Song Jingang under Liu Wuzhou's tent. When Li Shimin defeated Song Jingang, Yuchi Gong took the initiative to take more than 4,000 troops under his command to the Tang camp to surrender. Only then was he taken under Li Shimin's tent and submitted to the Great Empire.
Tang.
When Yuchi Gong served under Song Jingang, the most famous battle he fought was the invasion of Bingzhou.
That was when Li Yuanji's predecessor was guarding Bingzhou.
The former was so beaten that he ran away, so he formed a quarrel with Yuchi Gong. Then he went to Yuchi Gong to compete with Yuchi Gong regardless of his identity, in order to regain his reputation. However, he failed to regain his reputation and even lost his face.
Of course, if it was just because the predecessor and Yuchi Gong formed a quarrel on the battlefield in Bingzhou, then the predecessor would not go to Yuchi Gong to compete regardless of his status.
The real reason that prompted my predecessor to compete with Yuchi Gong regardless of his status was Li Shimin.
When my predecessor was guarding Bingzhou, Yuchi Gong used all kinds of force to suppress his predecessor and fight. His predecessor lost Bingzhou and even fled. As a result, as soon as Li Shimin arrived, Yuchi Gong was paralyzed and surrendered as soon as Li Shimin arrived.
This made my predecessor very embarrassed, so I desperately went to Yuchi Gong to trouble him.
Li Yuanji had to help find the person whose previous body was lost, otherwise he would not be able to raise his head and behave in front of Li Shimin in the future, so Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said without hesitation, "I will continue to trouble Yuchi Gong."
?He deserves it? You call him here now, and I will fight with him again to see if he is qualified to cause trouble for me."
Li Shimin was speechless and could only look at him angrily.
Now calling Yu Chigong to fight Li Yuanji is not asking for death.
Not to mention that Yu Chigong is still paralyzed. Even if he is not paralyzed, he is not Li Yuanji's opponent.
In the previous battle against Liu Heitai, it was not like Yuchi Gong had never competed with Li Yuanji. He was beaten by Li Yuanji and broke several bones at once. He lay on the bed for more than a hundred years before getting up.
During the previous coup in the palace, he had another battle with Li Yuanji, and was beaten until now.
If you fight Li Yuanji again, you are really seeking death.
After all, if this kind of thing happens again and again, if Yuchi Gong and Li Yuanji are allowed to compete again, Li Yuanji will have to kill him.
After all, Li Yuanji is now the most powerful king in the Tang Dynasty. The king's majesty cannot be challenged. In order to maintain his majesty, Li Yuanji will definitely kill Yuchi Gong in the third contest with Yuchi Gong.
Li Shimin had no doubt about this.
Because Li Yuanji had already killed his subordinates Wang Junkuo, Zhang Shigui, and Gao Shilian.
Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Junxian and others were also beaten and disabled.
So Li Yuanji can definitely kill him.
"After all, you are still jealous of me."
Li Yuanji saw that Li Shimin had stopped fighting and had stopped cooking, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued him.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and stared, saying nothing.
Li Yuanji continued: "You will be jealous of me for a long time in the future. If you don't want to be stimulated by me every day, just tell me what to do next."
Li Shimin remained silent and began to get angry.
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and said: "You are not helping me, but you are helping my Li family, yourself, your sister-in-law and nephew.
If you don't take action, then I will have to ask others to take action.
No one knows whether others can firmly block the Turks in Gyeongju and whether they can defeat the Turks in Gyeongju.
If others fail, the Turks will definitely attack Chang'an.
You also heard what Zheda said, and Yang Zhengdao is also with Jie Li. You should know what Yang Zhengdao wants."
As a remnant of the former Sui Dynasty, what could Yang Zhengdao want?
What they want is naturally the restoration of the country, and what they want is naturally the country of the Tang Dynasty.
Once Jieli led the Turkic troops to Chang'an and had the possibility of taking Chang'an, it would not be so easy to retreat, nor would he think of plundering and leaving like before.
He will definitely be bewitched by Yang Zhengdao, take over the entire Guanzhong area, and then support Yang Zhengdao to ascend to the throne and become the emperor.
Compared to Li Yuan, who had a tough attitude towards the Turks and forced the Turks to pay tribute and become vassal, Jie Li would obviously prefer Yang Zhengdao, who had a humble attitude towards the Turks and paid tribute to the Turks and became vassals.
Therefore, Datang did not say anything this time to allow Jieli's troops to come to Chang'an, otherwise the trouble would be big.
