With your Majesty's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to allow Xue Yantuo, the descendant of the Turks, to show off his power in the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The king's army will definitely be recruited to defeat the unconquered ministers, but this time Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Yinan only sent his son to command a small number of elite troops.
As well as the Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, Bailei and other tribes as the main force in the southward invasion, that is to say, Xue Yantuo's main force is still wandering in places unknown to the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to raise troops, it would definitely attack Xue Yantuo with a thunderous force.
If this is true, it is inevitable that a large number of heavy troops stationed in Guanzhong and even Longyou will be mobilized.
But now, the envoys from Tibet happened to encounter this matter. As long as they have a little bit of brains, they will definitely summon the Tibetan leader in time.
They would even take this opportunity as an excuse to raise troops to threaten Longyou and Jiannan of the Tang Dynasty.
One has not yet taken action, and the other has already taken action. Datang will definitely deal with Xue Yantuo who has already exposed his claws first.
But what about Tubo?
As a famous royal general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Daozong was among the most distinguished generals in the Tang Dynasty for his strategy and strategic vision.
As he repeatedly reviewed Tubo and Xue Yantuo in his mind, finally, a consequence that Li Daozong was extremely unwilling to see appeared in his mind.
Li Daozong sat down behind the couch in a daze, looking at the map in a daze, no matter how he repeatedly deduced it.
Tubo and Xue Yantuo, one in the south and one in the north, naturally formed a pincer attack on the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and the Silk Road.
If His Majesty categorically rejected Tubo's request for marriage and kept peeking at the Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo had conflicts with Tang Dynasty in Jiannan Road and even in Longyou.
How could he let go of this perfect opportunity, even if he agreed to get married?
Those greedy Tibetans might even make many demands that seemed excessive in the eyes of the big-eyed monarchs and ministers of the past...
And with His Majesty's temperament, Xue Yantuo will definitely be killed, injured and disabled, but Tubo, who is hiding his sharp edge, will definitely focus on appeasing him.
It is not that the Tang Dynasty did not have the ability to launch two large-scale wars at the same time in a short period of time.
But in that case, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be seriously injured...
Li Daozong stroked his forehead, slapped his thigh with a tangled and heavy expression, and growled.
"Damn it! Damn Xue Yantuo, damn Tubo..."
At this moment, the steward who was guarding outside the study door heard His Royal Highness's uncontrollable roar and was so frightened that he quickly looked inside.
In his impression, over the years, His Highness has almost never made a mistake, even if the princess or the county magistrate had their eyelids raised.
At most, His Highness could close the door and stay quiet in the study for an hour or two before returning to normal.
Oh, by the way... Also, every time I went to Lao Cheng's house for a banquet, I was carried out of Lao Cheng's house by the door panel, and there was no way I could walk out on my own.
But it’s really the first time I’ve seen something like this today.
When Li Daozong raised his head, the steward outside had already stood up straight again, as if he had not seen anything, let alone heard anything.
#####
Li Daozong began to walk slowly in the study, wringing his hands together like a trapped animal.
The face that usually looks gentle and elegant is also a bit ferocious at this moment.
Nowadays, among the royal family, there seems to be no marriageable women from the clan except for my own daughter An Nuan.
The others are either already married or too young, except A-Nuan, but A-Nuan is the apple of his eye.
What should we do? Li Daozong couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought that his beloved daughter would probably be married off to that bitter cold plateau.
And Yan, her beloved wife who was originally happy but never knew what trouble was, might often shed tears in the future because she misses her beloved daughter.
Is it possible that there is no way to solve the current hidden worries?
Li Daozong walked slowly in the study, considering every possibility, but finally made a sad discovery.
I really can't think of a way to solve the current dilemma.
Li Daozong stared at the map. At this moment, a maid came to the door of the study with a food box and whispered to the steward.
"This is the food your Majesty asked your servant to bring to Your Highness."
Li Daozong could only collect his mind, barely control his emotions, and gave instructions calmly.
"Bring it in..."
"Yes..." The steward opened the door and let the maid carry the food box into the room.
After opening the food box, take out the dishes inside, which are still steaming hot.
It exudes a faint aroma of fruity wood smoke and a very special meat aroma.
Even Li Daozong, who had no appetite, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the delicacies on the plate.
"This is……"
"Your Highness, this is the ham sent from the Han and Tang Dynasty Trading Firms. They say that the Han and Tang Dynasties Trading Firms made the ham in Yaozhou.
It has a rich aroma and bright color, with lean meat in bright red or rose color and fat meat in milky white color.”
"It's very delicious for cooking. These are the dishes made according to the instruction manual of Yaozhou ham. This is ham stewed with mushrooms, and this dish is ham steamed with bean curd skin..."
"After tasting it, I felt it was very delicious, so I asked my slave to bring it over so that Your Highness can also have a taste."
######
After the maid arranged all the food, she took the food box and left first.
Li Daozong sat in front of the table and looked at these delicacies, which were full of color, aroma and flavor. These were all the thoughts of his beloved wife Yan.
It seems that Cheng Sanlang has never been idle during the few years he stayed in that land of Jiannan Road. I don't know how many good things he has been transported to various places in the Tang Dynasty through the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses.
Li Daozong still remembered the very beginning when His Majesty sent him, Li Ke, and Fang Jun to Luzhou on Jiannan Road.
The purpose is to gild these young people so that they can be of great use in the future. Luzhou is a barbarian land, and all they need is to calm them down, which is a great achievement.
But as a result, what they did blinded the eyes of all the princes in the court.
Even His Majesty himself did not expect that those three boys, well, of course were led by Cheng Sanlang, the evil moth king.
They have built the originally barren and barbaric Luzhou into the second Shuzhou, and this is not yet over.
Nowadays, those formerly barbaric places in the central and southern regions of Jiannan Road are now filled with traffic and horse-drawn carriages, and numerous merchants.
The increased taxes even made some civil servants complain, even though that guy was just the governor of Luzhou.
The achievements he achieved were greater than those achieved by several Jiannan Dao pacifiers since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Daozong couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
"This kid, you never know what new tricks he can come up with to surprise you."
