Kan Leng's honest face was full of doubts, and he said unsteadily: "Your Highness means... the people in Chang'an City are following everyone else's words, and Yu Wenbao was also deceived by them?"
Not too stupid...
Li Yuanji said angrily: "If I, the Tang Dynasty, want to conquer the Turks in the north, do you think I would have the time to talk to you here so much nonsense?"
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer the Turks in the north, as the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, he would probably be too busy to pay attention to Kan Leng.
Once the Tang Dynasty began to conquer the Turks in the north, it would be a super collision between two super powers, and it would also be the largest war to destroy the country since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The entire Tang Dynasty will definitely come out in force, and all the princes will definitely participate actively.
Kan Leng, a no-name marquis, can't stand on the stage at all, let alone come to the palace to ask for a fight.
"So... we, the Tang Dynasty, have no plans to conquer the Turks in the north?"
Kan Leng's simple and honest face is full of sadness, and his words are so gentle that it can make someone anxious to death.
Judging from his expression and tone, he was disappointed that the Tang Dynasty had no plans to conquer the Turks in the north.
He seemed to really want to see the Tang Dynasty go to war with the Turks.
Li Yuanji looked at him suspiciously and said, "You are very disappointed. Do you want me, the Tang Dynasty, to go to war with the Turks?"
Kan Leng nodded honestly.
Li Yuanji asked curiously: "Why?"
Kan Leng said without hesitation: "In this way, I can gain more military exploits."
Li Yuanji looked at Kan Leng thoughtfully and asked quickly: "Have you seen Hou Junji?"
In his impression, Kan Leng was not a person who was greedy for merit, and his pursuit of official titles was not that high. He was just like a brick, and he had been making silent contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Now I suddenly have a pursuit, and the desire is still very strong.
For such a big change, someone must have said something to him.
Among all the civil and military officials in the house, there are only two people who pursue the official title very strongly. One is Hou Junji who has been suffering from injustice for many years and is eager to get in front of others and become one of the top nobles. The other is ignored.
For most of his life, Quan Xu has been eager to prove himself.
Among the two people, Hou Junji is the most 'offensive' and is always looking for opportunities and taking advantage of loopholes.
When he met Kan Leng, who was already a confidant of Prince Yong's Mansion, he would definitely lobby for something.
Although he may not get any direct benefits or opportunities by doing this, if he can use this to mobilize the enthusiasm of other military officials in Prince Yong's palace, then he can get a lot of benefits.
Just like the catfish effect.
Among the military ministers of Prince Yong's Palace who are like a pool of stagnant water, if a military minister with a strong utilitarianism and eager to make achievements is thrown in, the utilitarianism of other military officials in Prince Yong's Palace will be stimulated immediately.
When the time comes, we will invite them to conquer the Turks in the north. It will not be easy to refuse at that time.
If Kan Leng was really instigated by Hou Junji, and Hou Junji really wanted to use the catfish effect to inspire the utilitarianism of the military officials in Prince Yong's palace, then this was a conspiracy.
Even if you feel unhappy, it's hard to criticize.
After all, if the people under your command have progressed, it is a good thing no matter how you look at it, how can you criticize it?
Are you criticizing your subordinates for being too motivated?
Isn’t that a donkey’s kick in the head?
"I have never met General Hou, but..."
Kan Leng shook his head and said sincerely, but stopped talking halfway through, as if he had something unspeakable to hide.
Li Yuanji continued to ask: "But what?"
Kan Leng said awkwardly: "But General Hou gave one of his cousins to Mrs. Chen Ru..."
Li Yuanji stared at Kan Leng blankly, not knowing what to say.
Hou Junji is really a bitch who knows how to exploit every little thing.
Yu Wenbao here gave his cousin to Kan Leng as his wife, and he gave his cousin to Kan Leng as his wife.
It seems to be an ordinary wooing between nobles, but if you take a closer look, it is easy to find out what Hou Junji has up his sleeve.
At this time, Hou Junji realized that he could not fit into the circle of smart people such as Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, and Luo Shixin, so he found another way and came up with the evil idea of Yu Wenbao and Kan Leng.
One of these two people is stupid and the other is stupid, and they are both confidants of Prince Yong's Mansion. Although they have contacts with Su Dingfang and others, they are obviously not in the same circle, so if he gets in touch with these two people and forms a marriage, he can get through this.
The two of them easily integrated into the inner circle of Prince Yong's Mansion.
The most important thing is that these two people are not very intelligent and their calculations are not as deep as his. Once he brings these two people together, and then wins over a few people like Zhao Chengyong who join later, then he can
Become the brains in this circle.
After all, Yu Wenbao, Kan Leng, and Zhao Chengyong are all inferior to him in terms of brains. He will definitely make the decision when encountering something.
As time goes by, he will become the spokesperson and the brains of Yu Wenbao and others.
After he becomes the brains of Yu Wenbao and others, he dare not say that he will fight on the same side as Su Dingfang and others, but at least he will have a certain say among the confidants in Prince Yong's Mansion.
Having the right to speak among the confidants of Prince Yong's Mansion is no different from having a certain right to speak in the Tang Dynasty.
"That bitch is really quite calculating."
Li Yuanji couldn't help but sigh.
Kan Leng was startled when he heard the word "dog thing" and exclaimed: "What?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Kan Leng and said, "It's nothing..."
There is no way to explain Hou Junji's calculations to Kan Leng. Even with Kan Leng's brains, if you explain it clearly to him, he may not be able to escape Hou Junji's calculations.
The most important thing is that if he has any conflict with Hou Junji because of this, he will definitely be tortured by Hou Junji.
So for Kan Leng's sake, it's better not to tell him anything.
"Chen...Chen, did you do something wrong?"
Kan Leng asked cautiously.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "I did nothing wrong. You can continue to study the long sword formation with Li Jing and others."
Kan Leng hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "We in the Tang Dynasty really have no plans to conquer the Turks in the north?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is really a stubborn person who never lets go of the rabbit before he sees it.
Li Yuanji said angrily: "Yes, but not now!"
Kan Leng stood up for a moment and asked impatiently: "When?"
Li Yuanji shook his head and said: "I don't know..."
Li Yuanji didn't lie, he really didn't know.
Originally, he planned to launch an attack on the Turks after the completion of the first five-year plan.
But now the situation within the Turks has undergone great changes, and it has become completely different from what it was in history.
Not long ago, Su Dingfang had a new round of negotiations with Sunishi. According to his wishes, he rejected the conditions proposed by Sunishi on behalf of Liang Shidu, but released the Tang Dynasty to support him with soldiers, armor, and food.
A signal that Suni lost its territory to the Turkic forces.
However, neither soldiers nor armor, nor food and fodder can be given in vain. Suni must pay some price for losing his troops.
This price includes but is not limited to the Tang Dynasty's right to conduct business in Suni's headquarters, the right to garrison troops in the border market, its taxation rights in the border market, and the right to mine various gold, silver, copper, and iron minerals in Suni's headquarters.
Moreover, while the Tang Dynasty provided soldiers, armor, and food for Suni's troops, Suni's troops had to send troops to ensure the safety of Datang's merchants and the border cities of Datang.
Once the merchants and border markets of the Tang Dynasty were attacked, the Tang Dynasty had the right to immediately send troops into Suni's lost troops to hunt down the thieves.
In short, Datang could provide certain military assistance to Suni's lost troops, but the price was quite harsh.
Among all the negotiation conditions, there is one that is quite exciting.
That is, when Suni loses his troops and pays a certain price, Datang can help to fight on his behalf, including but not limited to sending troops from the west of the Turks to poke Jieli in the eye, disperse Jieli's troops for Suni's loss, or directly
March from the eastern part of the Turks and help Suni lose his troops to face Jieli's army.
This point was proposed by Li Yuanji. The price Suni lost his troops had to pay was quite high. Just because the Tang Dynasty had the right to garrison troops in Suni lost its troops and required a city as a condition for the garrison, Suni lost its troops would not agree to it.
of.
When Chen Shuda was drafting this article, he had proposed deleting it countless times. He thought it was of no use and believed that unless the other party's brain was kicked by a donkey, he would never agree.
However, at Li Yuanji's special request, he still stayed.
Currently, Sunisu is considering this matter. Once he has considered it and agreed to accept military assistance from the Tang Dynasty, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will most likely be advanced or postponed. The specific time is
Not sure yet.
After all, once Sunisu agreed to start crazy internal strife with Jieli, Datang would have a great chance of winning over the Turks at the minimum cost.
In this case, there was no need for the Tang Dynasty to go to war and recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the Turks.
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
This is the way to fight.
Those who can defeat the enemy without bloodshed or at a very small cost are truly good warriors.
Those who easily send tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight with the enemy, although they have great military exploits and are famous in history, are not good at fighting.
Kan Leng didn't know about the exchange between Datang and Suni's lost tribe. When he heard the word "I don't know", his eyes widened in shock.
The ruler of the Tang Dynasty, the dictator of the Tang Dynasty, did not know when it was time to conquer the Turks.
Who would believe this?!
Li Yuanji saw the doubts in Kan Leng's heart, rolled his eyes and said, "I really don't know. I'll tell you when I know."
Kan Leng still stared and said nothing.
Li Yuanji added angrily, "When the Tang Dynasty conquers the Turks, I will definitely let you be the vanguard."
Kan Leng stopped glaring now and hurriedly bowed and said, "I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and told Kan Leng to get out of here.
Kan Leng didn't hesitate and left happily.
Shortly after Kan Leng left, Li Yuanji summoned Zhao Chengyong and asked him to send a message to Quan Xu and ask Quan Xu to come to the palace to see him.
It is not a good thing for Hou Junji, a bad wolf, to get mixed up between Yu Wenbao and Kan Leng.
It's not easy to stop this kind of thing directly, so we can only add another bad wolf or ferocious tiger to their circle.
