As Li Shan narrated, the atmosphere gradually relaxed. From Li Shimin to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all listened attentively... Nowadays, no one in the court can surpass him in terms of understanding of Turks.
"Since the signing of the alliance with Tuli Khan at the beginning of the year, in addition to ironware and iron materials, salt, wine, tea, cloth and even grain have been sent to Yunzhou through Xia City and commercial roads." Li Shan carefully analyzed the situation from beginning to end.
, "The tribes of Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan are probably that the former is in the west and the latter is in the east. However, since the defeat of Yugushe in Yunzhou, it has been Tuli Khan's younger brother Ashina Jishe
Lead the garrison."
"Jieli Khan adopted Zhao Deyan's plan to consolidate the power of various tribes. The tax collection was heavy and the tribes were miserable. However, he also granted power to the leaders of the Xi tribe, Ping tribe, Tiele and other tribes, so that there were quite a lot of people in the Ashina tribe.
Complain."
"That's why Huairen sent grain, grass, salt and wine to Yunzhou in order to make Tuli Khan win over the Ashina tribe." Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "After the battle at Cangtou River, Jieli Khan became even more authoritative within the tribe.
It plummeted so much that the situation changed drastically and the world was turned upside down."
"Yes, after the battles in Guji Town and Cangtou River, Tuli Khan had the upper hand in Wuyuan County." Li Shanjie said: "And Jieli Khan relied on his direct lineage and the Xi clan, and several Tiele tribes fought against each other. If
It’s not going to be windy and snowy, I’m afraid a war has already begun.”
After a pause, Li Shan added: "I heard... that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan intend to make peace with each other?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did Huairen know?"
"Li Yaoshi secretly reported to Your Majesty." Li Shan was very suspicious. Did Li Shimin really not know?
If you really don’t know, then it means that at least at this time, Li Jing and Li Shimin have not established contact...because it was Li Yuan who said this, and Li Shan once tested it when he went to the East Palace for a banquet, Li Jiancheng, Wang Gui
, Wei Zheng didn’t know.
Changsun Wuji looked slightly excited, "If the two khans stop and make peace, they will inevitably invade the south again...the grassland has been famine for the past two years!"
"Pharmacist Li is guarding Yanmen Pass, and the east of the river is strong." Li Shimin glanced at his brother-in-law, "It's just Mayi, Guji Town..."
"Liu Shirang and Xue Wanjun are guarding Shuozhou. As long as there are no more two khans joining forces to attack... they should be fine." Li Shan smiled and said: "It will definitely not happen again."
Du Ruhui repeated with emphasis, "It will definitely not happen again."
This sentence has two meanings. One is that Li Jing, the current military commander of Daizhou Road and the commander-in-chief of Daizhou, cannot sit back and watch the Turkic army calmly besiege Mayi and Guji Town like last time... If he does it again, I am afraid that everyone will spit on him.
It's going to drown him.
Liu Shirang is a direct descendant of Li Shan, Xue Wanjun is a general of the King of Qin, plus Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanche, and Li Jing are really going to offend everyone.
Before Li Shan left Daizhou, Li Jing had a long talk with him about the war situation in Shuozhou. Mayi, Yanmen Pass, and Guji Town were all at odds with each other, dividing the battlefield. During this period, with elite cavalry crisscrossing the battlefield, it was difficult for the Turks to launch a war that would sweep the entire country.
The war in Shuozhou.
Moreover, Li Jing, headed by the new acting governor Shi Qinwutong, once again planned to build three small cities on the east side of Mayi and the south side of Guji Town. This made it even more difficult for the Turkic cavalry, which had the advantage of gathering and dispersing, to resist the troops who could rush out of the city at any time.
Tang Qi came.
The second is that even if the two khans give up and make peace, the situation of joining forces and heading south like last time is unlikely to happen again.
Jieli Khan was not stupid either. During the conversation before the battle a few months ago, Li Shanshi immediately revealed the news of Tuli Khan's alliance with the Tang Dynasty. So that during the nearly ten-day siege, he
Some troops have been kept to guard against the nephew.
"It is possible to divide our forces to attack." Ling Jing added: "We will attack Hebei, Hedong, Guannai, and Longyou."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on Li Shan again, "Huairen should already know about Ashina She'er?"
"Yes, your Majesty mentioned it when I met a few days ago."
"If you look at it with kindness, can Ashina Sheer beat Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan will continue to fight among himself?"
Li Shan hesitated for a while. He knew in his heart that Li Yuan would not decide this matter alone. He must have discussed it with the ministers, ministers, princes and princes, but he did not know what views these people held.
"Huairen can tell you all." Li Shimin smiled and said, "I heard that you and Ashina She'er are old acquaintances."
"His Highness was joking." Li Shan also smiled and pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "We first met outside Guantao City a few years ago, and then we met again at the great victory of Yanmen..."
"This person is well versed in Sinology, has a plan, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the advantages and disadvantages..."
After a pause, Li Shancai continued: "I understand the overall situation better."
Li Shimin sighed slightly, and he naturally understood that Li Shan actually did not agree with letting Ashina Sheer go back to the grassland.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty dominates the world. It first defeated the Tuyuhun and then the Turks. Even Jieli Khan was defeated and fled. Given the current situation, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and understands the overall situation. This evaluation means that Ashina She'er is very likely
I will work hard in the direction of persuasion.
The room was quiet for a moment, and everyone present was a hero, and they even thought about what Ashina Sheer would do.
Conflict transfer... People in this era don't know this term, but it doesn't stop them from doing it.
Because of power, status, and tribe, the uncle and nephew were hostile to each other and fought tit for tat. However, when the grassland was covered with heavy snow, a large number of livestock froze to death, and the tribe's strength was greatly damaged, the uncle and nephew temporarily gave up.
In this case, shifting the internal fighting to external invasion... is the best choice.
Li Shan even thought in his heart that he had never heard of the name Ashina She'er in his previous life, but judging from his methods, he was really not an ordinary character... That day, he evaluated Tuli Khan as a hero, and only Ashina
·Sheer is comparable.
But in Li Shan's mind, Tuli Khan was slightly lower than Ashina She'er.
Li Shan had a vague suspicion in his heart that due to the influence of himself, a butterfly that had traveled through time, Ashina Sheer in this life might also rewrite his life trajectory... and it would be a completely different life trajectory.
"Guannei, Longyou..." Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Hedong, Hebei..."
Li Shan raised the tea cup and drank some water. He went to the East Palace and Wude Hall for a banquet. All he was served was tea, but here, there was only a cup of warm water.
Glancing at Li Shimin secretly, Li Shan thought to himself... He had finally come to terms with himself. If it weren't for bastards like Yu Gushe, Pei Shiju, and Jieli Khan, would he be the same?!
After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke, "Now that the DPRK is planning to prepare troops in Guannai Road, Huairen may be able to take charge."
Li Shan secretly cursed, Fuck!
After going around and around, we finally got around to this matter!
