Chapter 0925 Gao Yaxian is rushing to hang himself
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Tu Diji wants to be the master of his own country."
Tudiji was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, but now it wants to be its own master. What does this mean?
And who is the patriarch of Datang?
If you don't cry about your poverty to the Great Tang, the Great Patriarch, and don't complain to the Great Tang, the Great Patriarch, how can the Great Tang, the Grand Patriarch, intervene in their wars legitimately?
After Tu Diji's defeat, he did not ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. He seemed to be very tough. He seemed to be protecting the interests of the Tang Dynasty and did not want the Tang Dynasty to pay more to help him.
But in fact, he didn't regard Datang as his parents. Otherwise, he should cry to his parents and ask them to help him stand up.
Isn’t this the role of parents?
On the contrary, the powerful troops are very smart. They clearly know their position and know that they are an Ao dog placed by the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong. Therefore, after the defeat, they did not think about being the masters of the country at all, but acted decisively.
Seek help from the Tang Dynasty.
This seemed to be causing trouble to Datang, but in fact it gave up its right to speak in Liaodong and let Datang take charge of the matter on their behalf.
This is a qualified Ao dog.
When it's time to bite people, it doesn't care at all. When it can't bite people, it will come to its owner for help.
Regardless of whether the master helps in the end, they will always leave the right to speak in the hands of the master.
Rather than being the master of one's own affairs.
Su Dingfang naturally knew the meaning of this, so when he heard this, he didn't have much reaction. Instead, he bowed and asked: "Then what should we do now? Send someone to rescue the powerful department, or sit back and ignore it?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Su Dingfang with a smile and said: "People are crying at the door. If we don't express anything, they will be disappointed. If other vassals know about it, they will be disappointed in Datang, so we should respond.
If you do this, let someone send an order to the General Manager of Youzhou, Pang Yu, the General Manager of Youzhou, to lead the army to support the Taqiang Department, and help the Taqiang Department to resist the invasion of the Dahe family."
Pang Yu was a veteran general who served as a prison guard in the Sui Dynasty. He followed Wang Shichong and later followed Huangfu Wuyi to join the Tang Dynasty.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he participated in the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, which was the battle where Li Shimin pacified Xue Ju, and was awarded the title of General on the Right. Later, he served as the general manager of Liangzhou and quelled the rebellion in Baji and Baji Prefectures.
After Luo Yi's rebellion was put down, he and his old subordinate Li Daliang were successively transferred to Youzhou, and Jizhou served as the general manager to help Datang guard Liaodong.
It is worth mentioning that his old subordinate Li Daliang now has a better official position than him.
He is only the general manager of Youzhou, but Li Daliang is not only the general manager of Jizhou, but also the governor of Jizhou, plus a member of the army of the general manager of Hebei Province.
Although the official position in the army of the Grand Administrator of Hebei Province is not high, the Grand Administrator of Hebei Province is the center of power of Hebei Province.
Being able to serve in the center of power, the information channels and hidden power that he has are unmatched by other general managers.
The reason why Li Daliang was able to surpass his old boss in official rank.
Some people say that because Li Daliang's surname was Li, he was from the Wuyangfang of the Li family in Longxi, and he was related to the Li family. Li Yuan also always liked nepotism, so Li Daliang climbed up faster than his old boss.
but it is not the truth.
The reason why Li Daliang climbed up the ladder faster than his old boss was because he joined Li Shimin's camp after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.
With Li Shimin's support, even if he is a pig, he can still do better than his old boss.
After all, from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the six years of Wude, Li Shimin could be said to be outstanding.
All battlefields in the north are his showpieces. There is no enemy that he cannot defeat, and there is no tough battle that he cannot overcome.
In addition, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin great authority, almost giving him authority comparable to that of the Crown Prince, or even stronger than the Crown Prince in some aspects.
Anyone who follows him can rise to great heights.
"Pang Yu?"
Su Dingfang asked hesitantly.
Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Su Dingfang said bluntly: "Pang Yu is already old, and his vigor is gone. Even if he leads troops on an expedition, he may not be able to make any achievements. Besides, there is Jizhou between Youzhou and Yingzhou.
It is better to let the soldiers and horses of Jizhou go to support the strong troops than to let the soldiers and horses of Youzhou go to support the strong troops.
Once you are close, you can advance and retreat at any time.
Secondly, Li Daliang is in his prime, the time to be brave and vigorous. After going to Yingzhou, he can quickly stabilize the situation in Yingzhou."
As for whether he would win, Su Dingfang didn't say.
Because the elite soldiers in Youzhou and Jizhou were exhausted after Luo Yi's defeat, the remaining soldiers in Youzhou and Jizhou are now ordinary soldiers.
Against Da He's soldiers and horses, which are known for their brutality and toughness, no one can guarantee that they will win.
From a military perspective, Su Dingfang's statement is correct.
It is definitely better to send a general who is in his prime, brave and vigorous to help the powerful department than to send an old general who has lost his spirit.
But from a political point of view and the current situation, it is just appropriate to send an old and lackluster veteran.
What Datang wants now is to hold back the Da He clan and drag the Da He clan to death in the north of Yingzhou, instead of paying a huge price to defeat the Da He clan, help the powerful troops to stabilize the current situation, and turn defeat into victory.
Both the Tashiqiang Department and the Tudiji Department have developed greatly during the Turkic civil strife, and the Tudiji Department has also developed the desire to be the masters of its own affairs.
Then the strength of these two groups must be found to be weakened, and they must be brought back to the point where they follow the Tang Dynasty, beg the Tang Dynasty to live, and beg the Tang Dynasty to survive.
And Dahe's attack on them just helped Datang achieve its goal of weakening them.
Therefore, it is best to send people to help them stabilize the current situation. It is best to maintain a stalemate or delay the situation with Dahe.
Helping them defeat the Great He clan and annex the Great He clan would be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty has not yet conquered the Turks, Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, or even the Mengshe imperial edict.
Therefore, Datang now needs a chaotic north of Yingzhou, rather than a unified north of Yingzhou.

Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Su Dingfang stood there and tasted it carefully, then cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I know what to do."
Obviously, he had already tasted the deep meaning of sending Pang Yu to support the powerful troops.
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction.
Su Dingfang said again: "The Tudiji Department..."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Let them continue to hold on. When they can't hold on anymore and ask us for help, let Gao Yaxian go from Yuzhou to help them."
Su Dingfang nodded, indicating that he understood, and immediately bowed again and led Li Yuanji to the Yamen.
After passing through the main entrance of the yamen and entering the main hall of the yamen, Li Yuanji paused and suddenly said to Su Dingfang: "Did you just say that the person who defeated Dahe Chiluo at the Weiyi junction was named Lu Zifu?"
Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment and nodded awkwardly.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "It seems that your adoptive father is doing well in Hebei Province, and he can actually drive people from the Lu family."
There are no generals named Lu on the military honors list of the Tang Dynasty.
Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there were no particularly outstanding figures named Lu.
An unknown person suddenly appeared and defeated more than 30,000 Dahe Chiluo troops with a single state army, and won the first battle. If you say that this person came from an ordinary family, no one would believe it.
Among the children named Lu recruited by Li Shimin, none were named Lu Zifu.
Therefore, this person named Lu Zifu must be an elite trained by the Lu family of Fan Yang.
I didn't come out to work for the Tang Dynasty before, probably because I looked down on the Tang Dynasty and didn't want to risk my life and fortune for a barbarian country.
Now that he has come out to work for the Tang Dynasty again, Fan Yang Lu must have sensed some crisis and started to make arrangements in advance.
An elegant and virtuous person can introduce such a person into the official career and entrust him with important tasks. If you say that he has no business dealings with the Fan Yang Lu family, you will not believe it.
Su Dingfang obviously guessed this, so his expression became awkward.
After all, Gao Yaxian was his adoptive father, and it was also because of his face that Gao Yaxian was reactivated.
Now that Gao Yaxian is getting involved with people from a wealthy family, he not only disgraces the court, but also loses face in front of his lord. How could he not be embarrassed?
More importantly, Gao Yaxian, a person who had followed Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai and other rebel thieves, went to get involved with a wealthy family. Isn't this an old man who hangs himself because he thinks he has a long life?!
The Li family made its fortune by relying on the wealth of a wealthy family. How could they tolerate a man in charge of an army mixing with a wealthy family?
"I will send a letter to warn my adoptive father..."
Su Dingfang said awkwardly.
Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hands and said: "No need, he is him and you are you. Just have less contact with him in the future."
Su Dingfang was not someone like Luo Shixin who valued friendship more than life.
The grudge between him and Gao Yaxian had been settled long ago when they parted ways in Luoyang.
Now that Gao Yaxian is seeking death, it is impossible for him to accompany Gao Yaxian to death.
So he nodded without hesitation and said: "I understand..."
Li Yuanji also nodded, without saying anything more, and led everyone into the main hall.
After sitting down in the main hall, Su Dingfang and other generals made detailed reports
He went through the military affairs and reported the military orders from Li Jing.
After listening carefully for a while, Li Yuanji gave his decision, "Are you saying that Li Jing has given you an order to launch an attack on Liang Guo at the end of April to contain Liang Guo's troops?"
Su Dingfang nodded and said: "Yes..."
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Li Jing is afraid that Master Liang will turn to Jie Li again and ruin his plan."
Su Dingfang said seriously: "I think so too."
Li Yuanji asked: "What about Sunisi? He doesn't have any arrangements?"
Compared to Master Liang, Suni is more likely to fall to Jieli.
After all, they are the same race, and today's war is related to the survival of their race.
It is not impossible for Sunisu and Jieli to resolve their differences and get back together.
