They are all masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits.
Li Yuanji did not rush to answer Li Shiji's question, but said angrily: "Don't pretend anymore?"
Showdown?!
Li Shiji is an old fox. He doesn't care about face. He smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm not pretending to be anything. I just want to better complete the errands assigned by His Highness."
Li Yuanji laughed in his heart.
Believe it or not, you are a ghost.
"What can you do?"
"this……"
Li Shiji said with a smile: "If the King of Xiangyi is willing to delegate power and Suni loses his complete trust in me, then I will be able to do whatever His Highness needs me to do."
In short, if Li Shenfu is willing to delegate power and Sunisu is willing to completely trust his words, he can remove the Turks from the world, or let Sunisu defeat Jieli and become the sole ruler of the Turks. He can do it.
【In view of the general environment,
This is a bit loud to say.
But Li Shiji has this strength.
After all, his ability has been verified. If Li Shenfu is willing to delegate power, it means that Datang is fully supporting him behind the scenes. If Sunisu is willing to completely trust him, it means that everyone in Sunisu's department can obey him.
His orders are followed.
In this case, it is not difficult for him to do anything he wants to do.
The problem is that it is easy for Li Shenfu to completely delegate power and act as a puppet, but it is difficult for Sunisu to trust him completely and hand everything over to him.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even Sunisi himself may not be able to completely accomplish this.
After all, Suni Shi's tribe is a coalition. In addition to Suni Shi's own people, there are also people from Liang Guo, Dahe clan, and people from Tudiji tribe and Taqiang tribe who help wave the flag and shout on the side.
Sunisu himself can be the master of the vast majority of people, but that does not mean that he has promoted Li Shiji. Li Shiji can also be the master of the vast majority of people.
Not to mention others, Liang Shidu of the Liang Kingdom would definitely not be willing to obey Li Shiji's orders.
Sunisu may not know Li Shiji clearly enough, but Master Liang definitely knows Li Shiji, and he will never leave his troops in Li Shiji's hands and let Li Shiji kill him.
"Are you awake, or are you daydreaming? It is easy to ask the King of Xiangyi to delegate power to you, but how is it possible to make Sunisi completely trust you?
Do you think that Sunisu is my dog and horse of the Tang Dynasty, and he will obey my orders?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shiji and said angrily.
The expression on Li Shiji's face did not change at all, and he still said with a smile: "It's not impossible..."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Li Shiji smiled and said: "I have been idle and bored these days and have done some analysis on the situation in the Turks. I discovered that even if Sunisu gets help from me, the Tang Dynasty, he will eventually lose to Jieli.
The most I, Datang, can do is help him buy some time.
Therefore, Sunisi's final ending is nothing more than two.
One is to be captured by Jie Li, and then the whole family is executed.
The other is to fall in love with me, the Tang Dynasty, and become my dog and horse."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Then what?"
There is nothing new in what Li Shiji said.
Anyone familiar with the Turkic situation can analyze these.
So nothing to be surprised about.
Li Shiji smiled and said: "I think Sunishi will eventually fall to the Tang Dynasty, and he is most likely to become the dog and horse of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanji still said calmly: "What's the basis?"
That Li Shiji was able to analyze this shows that Li Shiji had a deep understanding of the Turkic issue and a very good understanding of it.
If other people heard this, they would definitely be surprised, but not Li Yuanji.
Because in history, Sunishi eventually fell to the Tang Dynasty, and together with Tuli, he became the Tang Dynasty's dog and horse.
This is still
This happened when the Turks did not experience the defeat of Gyeongju or the split.
Now that the Turks have experienced the defeat of Gyeongju and split, they are more than a little worse than they were in history.
Sunisi is not the kind of person who would sacrifice his life for his country. Now he has connected with the Tang Dynasty again. He has received a lot of funding from the Tang Dynasty and has deeper contacts with the Tang Dynasty than in history. If he loses to Jie Li,
, it is inevitable to fall to the Tang Dynasty.
Because once Jieli defeated him, he would definitely reunify the Turks, and then the Turks would have no place for him to establish himself. The only one who could protect him and give him and his people a way to survive was the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Shiji heard this, he was slightly surprised and said: "Your Highness, are you not surprised?"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "What's so surprising about this? If Sunis was the kind of person who was extremely loyal to the Turks, he would not join forces with Liang Shidu and the Dahe clan to create a profitable rebellion, let alone seek me.
Datang’s help.
Therefore, if he was defeated by Jieli, it would be impossible for him to die for his country, and he would definitely flee the Turks.
Among the Turks' neighbors, only the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks could withstand Jie Li's pressure to take him in.
Tong Yehu's eyes of the Western Turks are higher than the top. He takes the grassland and a large number of people to vote, but he may not be valued by Tong Yehu.
When he is at the end of his rope, if he doesn’t vote for him, who else can we vote for?”
Speaking of which, Yehu, the leader of the Western Turks, is also a great man. It doesn't matter if he can't tolerate others, not even people from his own tribe, forcing the people of his own tribe to defect from the Western Turks in order to survive.
Doesn't he know that his people are the foundation of his rule over Western Turks?
Without his tribe to rely on, other tribes under his control would join forces to rebel against him, so what could he do to suppress them?
Did he really think that he alone created the huge Western Turks?
As long as he is here, can he control everyone in the Western Turks?
Ying Zheng was not as crazy as him when he was sweeping Liuhe.
Although nepotism and valuing one's own clan members is not a long-term way of employing people, it is the mainstream of this era.
In this era, anyone who can unite his relatives and tribesmen can achieve success.
Li Yuan is one of the best.
Even if Tong Yehu made the people of other tribes miserable, he would not even spare his own tribe. From the fact that he was strong enough not to betray him, it was easy to see that he was already walking on the edge of betrayal and alienation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is not old now, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are still useful, so he can still suppress the Western Turkic tribes.
Once he shows signs of old age, or if the strongest soldiers under his command are severely damaged, the Western Turks will immediately become engulfed in chaos.
Judging from the history of Western Turks and later, this is clearly confirmed.
It is not unreasonable for the Tang Dynasty to draw its sword and look around with confusion.
Of course, the confusion of the Tang Dynasty in history did not mean that he drew his sword and looked around and did not know who to fight, but that he drew his sword and looked around and could not find an opponent.
Although this is a bit crazy, during the peak period of the Tang Dynasty in history, there were really no opponents. It even went beyond the realm of beating anyone who dared to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, directly to the point where I could beat anyone I wanted to.
realm.
And almost no one who was beaten did not fall to his knees and call daddy.
Therefore, Datang should be strong, and there would be problems if it is not strong.
Hearing this, Li Shiji said awkwardly: "I made a mistake, but as His Highness said, after Suni's defeat, he had no other place to go but to surrender to us.
Then why don’t we lobby Sunisi now to turn him over to the Tang Dynasty?”
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shiji and said indifferently: "He turned to the Tang Dynasty just thinking about it, so where can the Tang Dynasty go to train troops? Besides, convincing Suni to turn to us is not as good as what you said.
Easy, no matter how you say it, Sunisi is the leader of the party. Until he reaches the end of his rope, he will never give up everything he has now and surrender to me, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shiji pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "Although it is a little difficult to make Sunishi completely turn to the Tang Dynasty, we have to convince Sunishi to recognize the Tang Dynasty as our suzerainty.
And it was very easy to allocate me a city in the Tang Dynasty to garrison troops."
In short, we need to take advantage of the current opportunity when Sunisu needs Datang, put forward conditions to Sunisu, stand behind Sunisu, and be Sunisu's father.
Like the eagle on the other side of the stick.
Although doing this will not directly incorporate Sunishi, it will also control Sunishi in disguise and affect the existence of Sunishi's subordinates.
Although it doesn't matter whether the Tang Dynasty wants this or not, with this, the people sent by the Tang Dynasty will become envoys of the Celestial Dynasty when Suni loses his troops, regardless of whether they provide material assistance or tactical advisors to Suni's troops.
They all occupy absolute dominance.
With this leadership, Li Shiji and Li Shenfu passed by and it was easier to do their work.
After all, as a father who guides his son in battle, the son can only respect him and cannot be disrespectful, let alone commit patricide. Li Shiji and Li Shenfu can also be safer.
After Li Yuanji understood the pros and cons, he secretly cursed Li Shiji for being too narrow-minded, and then agreed to Li Shiji's request, "If you think this is feasible, then it's up to you to lobby Sunis.
Once Sunishu agrees and sets aside a city for me, the Tang Dynasty, to garrison, I will remember you as a meritorious service."
Li Shiji said with a bright smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness..."
This is a waste of effort.
After all, judging from the current situation in the Turks, Sunisi has no confidence to refuse.
"Then it's settled, you go to Daizhou as soon as possible to meet the King of Xiangyi. I will ask the King of Xiangyi to wait for you in Daizhou, and at the same time, I will delegate power to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Shiji stood up slowly, bowed and exited the Tai Chi Hall.
As soon as Li Shiji left, Li Yuanji let out a long breath.
It's really tiring to deal with an old fox like Li Shiji who has too many evil thoughts.
After just a few words, the original target was changed beyond recognition under his influence.
But overall, they are all beneficial to Datang, so there is no need to refuse or insist on one's own opinion.
After it was decided to dispatch tactical advisors to Suni's lost troops, and Li Shiji and Li Shenfu rushed to Daizhou respectively, Ren Gui returned to Beijing.
With nearly a thousand people, they escorted hundreds of large vehicles.
The car was filled with grain, all of which were rice grown by him in Yuezhou.
When the cart entered Mingdemen, it immediately caused a sensation.
Thanks to Ren Gui's deliberate spreading, many people knew that Yuezhou, a barren land where pigs and dragons were rampant, has now become a land of plenty.
Not only is there rice that can be harvested twice a year, but there is also a lot of fish to catch.
Some business people began to inquire about the authenticity of this matter.
After getting a positive answer, the price of food in Chang'an City dropped by a full 10%.
Grain merchants all know that Yuezhou, a vast and sparsely populated place, must grow more than what Ren Gui brought back, and there must be a large harvest.
It is definitely not possible to transport this food back by land. The consumption in transit alone is enough to raise the price of food several times.
But Yuezhou’s food can travel not only by land, but also by water.
It can be transported to Chang'an by water transport, or it can be transported to all places in the Tang Dynasty that have water transport, and the cost of transporting grain by water transport is much lower than that by land.
Therefore, when grain from Yuezhou floods into the market, the price of grain will surely drop.
People don't have to worry about collecting grain. If the grain merchants don't spread it out as soon as possible, when grain from Yuezhou floods into the market, grain prices will become even more severe.
That is to say, Chang'an is relatively far from Yuezhou, and it takes a long time to transport grain back. Otherwise, the price of grain in Chang'an will drop even more.
However, the downward trend in grain prices in Chang'an is a good thing for the people. The nobles had already sold their grain reserves when Pei Ju went to Yuezhou, so market fluctuations will not affect them.
.
Therefore, only merchants and small households doing grain business would care about this kind of thing.
And he
Whether they are inside Chang'an City or outside Chang'an City, they can't make any big waves, so no one cares about their attitude.
When Ren Gui delivered the grain to Zhuque Gate, the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, Warrior Leng, led the entire Sinong Temple to greet him respectfully.
Although Ren Gui's success in planting two crops of rice a year in Yuezhou has nothing to do with Sinong Temple, Sinong Temple is in charge of farming. If good crops appear and the results have been planted, then they have to show it.
respect.
After Ren Gui and Samurai Leng were polite to each other, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda led all the officials to greet Ren Gui at the gate of Zhuque Gate, thanking Ren Gui for his efforts on behalf of the people and the Tang Dynasty.
Finally, Ren Gui was allowed to ride in a sedan chair to the Taiji Hall, presented hundreds of carts of rice, and was promoted to prime minister under the witness of the civil and military officials of the court.
Ranked below Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda.
With the achievements of discovering and promoting rice that can be harvested twice a year, it makes no sense for Ren Gui to be promoted to prime minister.
