If his guess is correct, then Li Shimin is quite sinister. While taking the skins of wealthy families in Hebei Province, he also prevents them from resisting and rebelling.
After all, Goguryeo is located in the northeast corner of Hebei Province. While Li Shimin was conquering Goguryeo, he could also prevent the wealthy families in Hebei Province from rebelling.
Once the wealthy families in Hebei Province were dissatisfied with Li Shimin's oppression, or rose up to resist, Li Shimin could lead his army to withdraw from Goguryeo and enter Hebei Province at any time and at any time.
In addition, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty on the west and south sides of Hebei Road can also take advantage of the situation to attack Hebei Road, and the east side of Hebei Road is a sea.
It can be said that if the wealthy families of Hebei Province rebelled against Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo, the situation they would have to face would be a three-sided attack, with no chance of winning and no way out.
Li Shimin's move achieved three great things.
First, it taught Goguryeo a lesson, second, it weakened the wealthy families in Hebei Province, and third, it prevented the wealthy families in Hebei Province from resisting.
Li Yuanji thought about it carefully. If he were Li Shimin, he would use the same method.
Because it's so convenient.
Spend one amount of money, send one army, and do three things.
Everyone knows how to choose.
"What are you looking at me doing? Is what I said wrong?"
Li Shimin looked a little uncomfortable when Li Yuanji looked at him, and asked with slightly widened eyes.
Li Yuanji came to his senses and responded quickly: "Yes, yes, what the second brother said is correct."
Li Shimin snorted and said a little arrogantly: "Since you think what I said is right, then you should consider conquering Goguryeo."
The Han nation still has a strong sense of honor and disgrace. After Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo failed, the conquest of Goguryeo became a concern for all people with lofty ideals.
Although Yang Guang's defeat of Goguryeo had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
But in the hearts of many people with lofty ideals in the Tang Dynasty, this was a great shame for the Han nation. Many of them remembered this shame and always wanted to wash away this shame.
So when Li Shimin mentioned this matter, he seemed very concerned.
Li Yuanji said in a funny tone: "Second brother, are you a little impatient? Right now, the Tang Dynasty's war against the Turks has just begun. No one knows when the Turks will be defeated and conquered.
Isn’t it too early to consider conquering Goguryeo now?”
When Li Shimin heard this, he also realized that he was impatient. He immediately snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "I am also impatient for you, fearing that you will turn Tu Diji and Tashibu Yehu into two hungry worms."
Li Yuanji nodded to express understanding and said with a smile: "I understand what second brother is thinking. Don't worry, second brother, I know what I know."
Li Shimin grunted: "As long as you know what's going on."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter."
With that said, he asked Zhao Chengyong who was guarding the door, "Where is Su Dingfang?"
Zhao Chengyong hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Go back to Your Highness, General Su went on a tour of the camp and has not come back yet."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Then when he comes back, let him come to see me. I will ask him about Dahe Zuoluo and Liang Luoren's reaction."
Now that the ancestral land of the Dahe clan has been invaded by Tu Diji and Ye Hu, the powerful tribe of Ta, Dahe Duoluo, as the leader of the Dahe clan alliance, cannot possibly not react at all.
After Liang Luoren learned that the Dahe family's ancestral land had been breached, it was impossible not to guess that the Tang Dynasty was putting pressure on him.
So the two people are bound to have some reactions.
Whether it's good or bad depends on what they think.
At noon, Su Ding just returned to the Yamen of the General Manager's Office. As soon as he entered the Yamen, he was called to the main hall of the Yamen.
Li Yuanji sat on the couch in the main hall and asked straight to the point: "Dingfang, after the Dahe family's ancestral land was breached, what was the reaction from Dahe Duoluo?"
Su Dingfang slightly arched his hands and said, "I'm about to report this to His Highness."
Li Yuanji motioned to Su Dingfang to speak directly.
Su Dingfang continued: "After learning that his ancestral territory had been breached, Daheduluo led his troops directly to leave Suni's lost tribe and returned to the north of Yingzhou. It seemed that he was going to retreat from Tudiji and Ta's powerful tribe Ye Hushou.
to regain lost ground and teach them a lesson.
In addition, he also sent his brother Dahe Chiluo to lead 30,000 troops towards Lingqiu."
Lingqiu is in Yuzhou, which is northeast of Daizhou and borders Weizhou and Yizhou in Hebei Province.
You can go east to Weizhou and south to Yi Dai.
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Are you coming for us?"
Su Dingfang nodded and said: "Dahe Duoluo is obviously dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty for sending Tu Diji and the powerful Ye Hu to attack their ancestral land, but he does not dare to fall out with me directly, so he wants to do it in Wei
Zhou, Weizhou, and Yizhou created some chaos.
Firstly, he wanted to take revenge on me, Datang, and secondly, he wanted to tell me, Datang, that he is not someone to be trifled with."
Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled: "He is not easy to mess with, but we are easy to mess with? And he sent troops into Yuzhou? Doesn't he know that Yuzhou is already my territory of the Tang Dynasty?
It seems that the lessons Luo Yi gave them before were not enough..."
With that said, Li Yuanji directly gave an order to Zhao Chengyong, "Zhao Chengyong, send someone to tell the governor of Yuzhou and ask him to protect the people of Yuzhou. There are not many people in Yuzhou to begin with. If more people are allowed to
After the people of the He family worked hard, it would return to the uninhabited situation before.
Then he sent someone to Hebei Province to give orders to Gao Yaxian so that he could move.
Ask him to wipe out all the invading Dahe people this time. If he can't do it, then I can only transfer him back to Chang'an City to retire."
Zhao Chengyong agreed and quickly went out to deliver the order.
After Zhao Chengyong left, Su Dingfang bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness..."
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Thank me for what? I'm not doing this for you."
Su Dingfang hurriedly said: "But you gave my adoptive father a chance..."
The foster father Su Dingfang spoke of was Gao Yaxian.
Although the relationship between father and son has faded and they have not been in contact for a long time, he still cannot remain indifferent when Gao Yaxian is mentioned.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Gao Yaxian has been on the bench for several years since he was demoted to the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that his official career has come to an end.
Now allowing him to lead the army again is giving him a chance.
If he can seize this opportunity, he may not be able to make further progress in his career in the future.
If he fails to seize this opportunity, his future career will be ruined.
However, regardless of whether he can seize the opportunity or not, the opportunity has been given to him, and Su Dingfang, the adopted son, has to help him carry it.
"I gave him a chance simply because the incident happened suddenly. It's too late to transfer someone from Chang'an City to take charge of the overall situation, so I can only re-activate him. It has nothing to do with you."
Li Yuanji waved his hands and said.
Su Dingfang nodded solemnly and said no more.
"Where's Liang Luoren? Is there any new news?"
Dahe Duoluo was not willing to be plotted by Datang, and launched a plan to cause trouble to Datang. What about Liang Luoren? Is he not willing to be threatened by Datang?
Su Dingfang shook his head and said with some regret: "There is no new news from Liang Luoren for the time being. However, Sunisu sent someone to deliver the message."
"oh?"
Li Yuanji said unexpectedly: "What did the people sent by Sunisi say?"
Su Dingfang smiled bitterly and said: "Sunisu sent people to raise an army to question the crime. He said that the Tang Dynasty was treacherous, betrayed him at a critical moment, and wanted to invade the Turks."
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Is he too naive, or does he have other ideas?"
There is no trust between countries.
Aren’t they all trying to survive in the cracks when they are weak, and annexing other countries when they become strong?
Now that the Tang Dynasty was strong enough and had the capital to annex the Turks, if it did not launch an attack on the Turks, would it still support the Turks and then wait until the Turks became stronger before launching an attack on the Turks?
So Sunishe was obviously a little naive when he sent someone to come over to investigate.
However, according to Li Yuanji's understanding of Sunisu, it seems that Sunisu is not an innocent person.
So Sunisi's move may have other meanings.
When Su Dingfang heard this, he nodded and said in admiration: "His Royal Highness is really good at predicting things. Sunisu does have other ideas..."
"what idea?"
Li Yuanji asked.
Su Dingfang said with a smile: "What Suni Shi means is that he can obey me, Datang, but he hopes that Datang will not attack him, but only attack Jieli."
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuanji smiled and shook his head: "He actually made a good calculation..."
Su Dingfang smiled and said: "But His Highness will not agree, right?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "That's natural..."
The Tang Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the Turks, and everything was ready. How could it give up or adjust its plan to conquer the Turks just because Sunisu was willing to give in?
Since the Tang Dynasty had enough strength to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, there was no need to compromise with the Turks, let alone give the Turks another chance.
"If you do this, you send someone to tell him that it is impossible for us to let him go, but we can give him a chance to live and even continue to be king on the grassland.
As long as he is willing to help us deal with Liang Shidu and help us deal with Jie Li."
Considering that in history Sunisi eventually fell to the big
Tang, and gave Jie Li a painful blow, so Li Yuanji was willing to give Suni a chance.
The smile on Su Dingfang's face faded slightly and he said, "I'm afraid he won't want to..."
After all, no matter how you say it, you are still a khan on the grassland, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and hundreds of thousands of people in your tent.
They still have the capital to dominate the grassland.
If you ask people to give up their power and become Datang's subordinates, they will most likely be unwilling to do so.
Although in history he fell in love with the Tang Dynasty and became a member of the Tang Dynasty, there is no comparison between him in history and him now.
Historically, he was a Turkic vassal king who lived in a corner, without much power or strength. After the Turks were destroyed, he had no other choice but to fall to the Tang Dynasty.
Now he is different. He is one of the Turkic Khans who occupies one-half of the Turkic territory. He has great authority and a huge number of soldiers and horses.
He would definitely not be willing to fall over to the Tang Dynasty and become the Tang Dynasty's dog and horse.
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I know he may not be willing, but this is my condition of Datang."
