Chapter 0820: One Emperor and One Courtier

Li Shentong received the instruction and began to tell Li Gang and others about the previously discussed countermeasures.

"We can also support the Tudiji Department, the Taqiang Department, Goguryeo and Baekje. These forces are all in the east of the Sunisu Department and can launch attacks on Sunisu at any time and at any time.

If Sunisu didn't want to be attacked from both sides, he could only deal with them first and then have a showdown with Jieli.

If Sunisan wants to deal with them, he must first ask us what we mean.

As long as we continue to support them, Sunisi will never try to destroy them."

Li Shentong said happily, and when he said the last word, the joy on his face could hardly be removed. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty had manipulated Suni Shi in this way, forcing Suni Shi to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing his words, all the civil and military officials fell into silence and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

After a few breaths, Chen Shuda was the first to speak: "If we put pressure on Sunisu through our troops and the Mohe people in Tudiji, Sunisu will not be able to withstand the pressure and will return to Jie."

Lee's subordinates.

In this way, we are still doing useless work."

Li Gang nodded and said: "Yes, we are also prone to raising tigers, and we will cultivate the powerful Ye Hu and Tu Diji into evil tigers like Luo Yi."

Although Luo Yi has become a taboo, there is still nothing that cannot be discussed when analyzing national affairs.

Especially for an old man with such seniority as Li Gang, it is not a problem to speak against Li's ancestors.

Of course, you cannot call some of Li's ancestors by their names.

Otherwise, you will also be criticized.

For example, if you call Li Hu by his first name, you will immediately be impeached by the Yushitai. Even if he is the prime minister, the people of the Yushitai will not let him go.

Even if he shouts the word "tiger", he may be attacked by them.

On this point, not only him, but everyone in the Tang Dynasty was the same.

It is forbidden to talk about tigers and it is forbidden to write about tigers.

Therefore, the tiger did not become a giant insect until the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Tang Dynasty, or after the Tang Dynasty, there was no problem in calling a tiger a tiger.

In the Tang Dynasty, calling a tiger a tiger was a serious sin.

In the Tang Dynasty, people with names like Tang Bohu and Pei Qinhu would change their names and surnames every minute and be assigned to the frontiers.

For example, Han Qinhu, a powerful general in the former Sui Dynasty, was remembered as Han Qinbao or Han Zitong in the Tang Dynasty.

In later generations, people always say that his original name was Han Qinbao, but later it was changed to Han Qinhu.

In fact, this is not the case. His original name was Han Qinhu, and Han Qinbao was changed later.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty banned tigers was because Li Yuan’s father, Li Yuan’s grandfather, was named Li Hu.

For example, Zhan and Yuan were also prohibited by the Tang Dynasty. When these two words are spoken or used, other words must be used instead.

In the future, as the number of emperors in the Tang Dynasty increased, more and more forbidden characters would be banned. Even commonly used characters that were difficult to ban would still require a pen when writing.

This can also be regarded as a big drawback of the feudal dynasty.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty used various traditional Chinese characters for their names in order to avoid this disadvantage from affecting the normal lives of the people.

Therefore, life in ancient times was not easy. If you didn't know the various taboos, you would be assigned and cheated every minute.

If you want to speak freely and ignore most taboos, you must at least live to Li Gang's age.

At this age, there are no taboos.

If a taboo is violated, the person in power can smile and say, "People's auspiciousness can bring back the ancestors, or my name can bring me some blessings, and so on."

As soon as Li Gang finished speaking, Li Shentong said with a smile: "Gong Li, you have to worry too much. Even if Tudiji's Mohe tribe and Tajiang tribe can pose a threat to Suni's lost tribe, the threat is not as great as that of Jieli after he became powerful."

Big, Sunishi still has room for maneuver, and it is impossible to make a desperate move to defect to Jieli again.

This is one of the reasons why I support the Mohe People’s Ministry and the Strength-based Ministry.”

Compared with the half of the Turks that Jieli now rules, the half of the Turks that Sunisi rules, the Mohe tribe that Tudiji rules, and the Taji troops stationed next to Tudiji, their size is really too large.

Smaller.

The combined strength of the two armies cannot even match that of the Great He clan, let alone the Liang Kingdom and the Turks who were divided into two.

Therefore, even if the Mohe tribe and the Tashi tribe go to trouble Suni's tribe and put some pressure on Suni, they will not force Suni to defect to Jieli.

Sunisu only needs to ask Liang Shidu or Dahe Duoluo to send out some troops, which is enough to deal with the Mohe people and Taqi forces.

When the Tang Dynasty supported the Mohe tribe and the powerful tribe to put pressure on the Suni tribe, it was the Tang Dynasty that could really put pressure on the Suni tribe.

With a behemoth like the Tang Dynasty supporting him, if Sunisan wanted to wipe out the Mohe tribe and the Tajiang tribe in one fell swoop, he would have to worry about whether the Tang Dynasty would take action.

If you don't eliminate the Mohe Renmin Department and the Taqiang Department, you will be constantly harassed by these two groups, constantly looking for trouble, and you will be tired of dealing with them.

Therefore, when Sunisu saw that the Tang Dynasty was supporting the Mohe tribe and the Tajiang tribe, he would see the thoughts and intentions of the Tang Dynasty, and would go to the negotiation table with the Tang Dynasty again.

Datang would also take the initiative and force Sunisi to give up helping Liang Shidu to recover the land of Liang that Datang had already recovered.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it will eventually achieve what Datang wants.

Li Shentong continued: "As for Mr. Li's worry about raising tigers, he is overly concerned. We in the Tang Dynasty have tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Hebei Province. If they dare to have a different intention, they will be turned into ashes in an instant.

The army led by Su Dingfang is also with them. In a few days, they will be able to reach the place where their tribe is entrenched and join the army from Hebei Province to annihilate them.

So let alone tigers, even if they turn into Kunpeng, I, the Tang Dynasty, can easily kill them."

Li Gang was still a little worried when he heard this.

But Qu Tutong, Li Jing, Li Shiji, Qin Qiong and others have been convinced by these words.

Indeed, with the size of the Mohe tribe and the size of the Tajiang tribe, after receiving the support of the Tang Dynasty, even if the strength doubled, they were still no match for the Hebei Province garrison, let alone fight against the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Su Dingfang's command.

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So the Tang Dynasty does not need to worry about turning the Mohe tribe and the Taqi tribe into trouble.

Because even if they become a problem, they are not enough for the Tang Dynasty to deal with.

They can't even handle the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty beside them, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty has several times the number of troops that can be mobilized elsewhere, in Chang'an City, and there are countless generals who are far more powerful than the guards in Hebei Province.

Stronger generals can drive.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Mohe people and Taqiang are not a problem, once they become a problem, most of the people here will wake up laughing even if they fall asleep.

Li Jinghui sent them a letter of condolences from thousands of miles away, asking them to hold on to the meeting and not be killed by the Hebei Province soldiers. Wait for him to come.

Li Shiji would chop off a nephew's head and give it to them, letting them hold it first for fun.

Qin Qiong would drag his newly recovered body, summon the old Wagang tribe, and rush to teach them how to rebel.

Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Qu Tutong would look at Youyan in the distance and "look at the ocean and sigh".

This is not a conjecture or a joke, this is very likely to become a fact.

Because now the military ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not unable to fight, nor do they want to fight, nor are they incapable of winning the war, but the court does not allow them to fight, and some of them are unable to experience every battle in person due to various reasons.

A war.

So when they encounter someone who actively provokes someone, someone who has to be beaten, and someone who gives them a chance to take action, they will really thank the other party's family from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether they are princes, princes, or princes, they will all get together to compete for a spot to lead troops on expeditions.

As for county magistrates, princes, etc., let alone compete with them for quotas for expeditions, even interjecting a sentence is not qualified.

This is the current Tang Dynasty.

The military ministers were not afraid of battle, and wished they were on the road to battle every day. They wished they could fight against all non-Tang Dynasty ‘opponents’ wherever they looked.

It was the national power of the Tang Dynasty and the number of people in the Tang Dynasty that restricted their ambition to fight on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in horse leather.

Therefore, Li Gang's worries were in vain.

Nowadays, the military ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of fighting, let alone that their opponents are strong. They are afraid that there will be no battles, and they are afraid that their opponents are not strong enough.

At present, under the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the only one that can be called an opponent is the Turks.

Therefore, all the military officials in the Tang Dynasty were focused on the war with the Turks.

As long as you want to fight the Turks, everyone is willing to do it, even if you don't give them credit.

Because we can’t win the war against the Turks, there may be no more wars to fight in the future.

For a man who has been on the battlefield for half his life, what is the concept of no war?

That means there is no pursuit and no soul.

It would be better to be alive than dead.

Some people may say that warriors do not like to fight. Everyone longs for peace, longs for swords and guns to be stored in the warehouse, and so on.

That's just the imagination of ordinary people and the hope of those in power.

Real warriors are all talented at killing, and they are used to killing. Is it possible for you to ask them to put down their butchering knives?

They have been fighting all their lives and have regarded fighting as an instinct. Is it possible for you to ask them to give up fighting?

impossible!

Fighting to the last moment, shrouding the body in horse leather is the lifelong goal of the warriors.

It is a tragedy and a shame for them to die of old age wearing gorgeous clothes like a rotten tree.

"The words of the King of Huai'an are reasonable. Mr. Li doesn't need to worry. If the Mohe tribe and the Taqiang tribe really become a disaster, I will just go to Youyan again."

The speaker was Li Shiji. When he said this, he was calm and confident, with a hint of a smile.

He is not a humble and powerful person, he is confident in his abilities.

He firmly believed that even if the Mohe people and Ta Qiangbu turned into Kunpeng, he could still press the Mohe people and Ta Qiangbu to the ground and rub them.

With Li Shiji's words, Li Gang was still a little worried, but it was hard to say anything.

Li Shiji's words were not refuted by Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qu Tutong, Li Jing and others, which shows that Li Shiji's words were a common attitude among the military officials.

The military ministers jointly provided guarantees and would pin the Mohe tribe and the Tashi tribe to the ground. Li Shentong's idea was very feasible, and he could not continue to oppose it.

When Li Yuanji saw that Li Shiji had convinced Li Gang and no one objected to Li Shentong's proposal, he smiled and said: "It seems that the ministers have reached a consensus, so that's it?"

Chen Shuda took the initiative to ask for help and said, "Let me leave this matter to you."

Li Gang and Pei Ju have gradually begun to give up power to young people. When Xiao Yu did not speak, Chen Shuda became particularly prominent.

The reason for this change is that Li Gang and Pei Ju are both older. Now that the turmoil caused by the Xuanwu Gate and the Tangtu War has passed, if these two old guys steal the position of prime minister again, they will be said to be

He is greedy for power.

You will also be cursed by the young people who are waiting to take over.

Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to delegate power and finally exit the court with dignity. In this way, not only can one retain a virtuous reputation, but one can also gain the respect of future generations.

Of course, there may be a hint of the idea of ​​one emperor and one courtier in this.

Li Yuan has completely retired, and has handed over everything except the title of emperor. As Li Yuan's old ministers, their hearts must be towards Li Yuan. If they continue to stay in the court, it is not only inappropriate, but also easy to be suspected.

.

It is better to quit the court, bear all kinds of honors and outrageous titles, and become an ancestor who does not care about worldly affairs.
