Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo are still criticizing the Turks for being shameless and playing dirty tricks if they can't beat them. However, they are also trying to make insinuations... Li Kai can't laugh or cry. Do you dare to believe that kind of nonsense?
If Huairen is really a prince, how can your majesty dare to use Huairen to lead the army now that he has taken over the throne?
Li Shan didn't say anything, just thinking about it in his heart. Nowadays, the civil strife in the Turks... is all in chaos. It is said that the Turli Khan has a great advantage in the Ashina tribe and even hooked up with Princess Yicheng.
The former Sui princess may be looking for a fifth husband.
Dubu Khan, imitating Jieli Khan, is trying his best to win over Tiele and other other tribes to compete. However, Ashina She'er's methods in this regard are much better than Jieli Khan's, and it is said that the results are good.
But in this case, Ashina She'er actually still had the intention to cause trouble for him. Based on this, Li Shan felt that Tuli Khan's chances of winning were not great.
However, it is possible to detect the news that Ashina Sheer intends to use a divorce plan. It is obvious that Tuli Khan also has an informant around his opponent. He can also detect the specific identity of Anma. Obviously, the status of the informant is not low, and it is very important.
Possibly a confidant of Ashina Sheer.
Li Shan sincerely hopes that the two cousins who love and kill each other can die together.
If he had to choose one, Li Shan would like to keep Tuli Khan.
It's not because in history Tuli Khan attached himself to the Tang Dynasty, but because although Ashina She'er may not have enough abilities and talents, he is indeed stronger than his opponents in terms of vision and structure.
After Liu Heita, Gao Kaidao, and Yuan Junzhang died or surrendered, Liang Shi became the last Chinese warlord force supported by the Turks. He was also the last buffer zone between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
Ashina She'er was released to Wuyuan County at the beginning of the year. After suffering for so long, he suddenly took action to kill Jieli Khan when Master Liang asked for help several times and was about to lose his support. He turned around and met Tuli.
The Khan formed an alliance, and then used his tactics to defeat Rengui and captured the three states again.
Obviously, Ashina Sheer, who is well versed in Sinology, sees things very far. Once China is unified, the grasslands will be cut down.
Presumably this Dubu Khan also knew from history books that hundreds of years ago, China established a powerful empire called "Han", and their founding emperor Liu Bang was also extremely insulted by the Xiongnu.
The Huns at that time were more powerful than the Turks today, and they treated the emerging empire arrogantly. However, soon after, they discovered that among their opponents were Wei Qing, who first defeated the Huns and left a name in history;
Xu's Huo Qubing; later there was Chen Tang who threatened that "anyone who openly offends the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away"; Dou Gu who almost destroyed the Xiongnu and restrained Shi Yanran.
The Huns who once dominated the grasslands maintained their confrontation with the Han people for many years, and finally declined, annihilated, and were replaced by other tribes.
Ashina She'er believed that once the Tang Dynasty became strong, let alone the grasslands, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers might stand on the land of the Western Regions, and the fate of the Turks would not be any better than that of the Huns.
Therefore, Ashina Sheer chose to take action at that time to support Liang Shidu to restrain the Tang Dynasty. Both himself and the Turks needed Liang Shidu's existence.
But Tuli Khan obviously did not have this idea.
Li Shan vaguely felt that perhaps the death of Jieli Khan was not necessarily a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, because a more powerful and ambitious Khan was rising.
Li Shan was thinking about it in his mind while chatting with Wen Yanbo and Dou Gui. After a while, Li Daoxuan, who received a letter from Beijing, also rushed over.
"Don't worry, Wan Guifei is sensible and knows the pros and cons." Li Daoxuan said seriously: "When I can return to the court, I will summon Daosheng for my brother to meet Huairen."
As a relative, Dou Gui knew the reason and explained to Li Shan: "When King Huaiyang was a child in Hedong County, he was raised by Concubine Wan Guifei. Their relationship is extraordinary."
Li Shan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Daoxuan."
"Already sent a letter." Li Daoxuan was still somewhat sure about this. His father Li Zhi died early, and his mother also passed away when he was young. He had always followed his cousin Li Yuan and was raised by Concubine Wan Gui. He was very familiar with Li Zhiyun and Wan Xuandao.
"By the way, Mr. Yan Bo, the young master still refuses to agree. Have you sent all the cotton armor?" Li Shan asked casually: "Are there other armors, arrows, ordnance?"
"Ordnance and feather arrows were successively inspected and put into the warehouse by the former governor Shi Li Qianyou." Wen Yanbo responded: "But the cotton armor is not ordnance. I remember it was taken by Wang Junhao and kept in the warehouse in Baiquan County."
"That's good, that's good..." Li Shan smiled and nodded, but his eyes were a little wandering.
Dou Gui frowned slightly, "When are you going to march?"
"March?" Li Zhaode repeated without a sound, but looking at the people around him, not only Dou Gui, Wen Yanbo, but also Li Kai and Li Daoxuan all had expressions unchanged, and even Zhang Wenguan was not surprised.
Li Shan smiled and said, "Zhao De finds it difficult to advance?"
"It's snowing so heavily..." Li Zhaode hesitated, "And Guyuan's terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we advance at this time, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses."
Li Shan sighed, this is the truth, but when he, a time traveler, came to this era, the storm he stirred up not only involved him, but also involved those historical figures who have left their names in history, and even this era. .
The early civil strife in the Turks, Li Jiancheng, and the reversal of Li Shimin's status as heirs were all greatly influenced by Li Shan himself. The most critical thing was Pei Shiju... Princess Pingyang mentioned implicitly in her letter that Pei Shiju had secretly invited several famous doctors in the past month. Maybe it won't last long.
One thing is certain, Pei Shiju will not die like this, he will definitely cause some troubles. Li Shan doesn't know what role he can play by returning to the court, but how can he watch helplessly?
But if you want to return to the DPRK, you must have an excuse. Li Shan is ready to find a perfect excuse... The most critical point is that after he returns to the DPRK, the military commander must be one of his own, not even Dou Gui. , Su Dingfang is the only one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility.
But if he wanted to find a perfect excuse, then the next plan must be completed perfectly. Li Shan's eyes gradually became firm.
"Mr. Lang."
Li Shan turned his head and saw Zhu Ba outside the door, and waved, "What's the matter?"
"Fan Shiyi is back."
"Everyone is back?"
"yes."
Li Shanqing couldn't help but licked his dry lips, stood up and said with a smile: "Yesterday Zhaode sent a calf, you can eat here..."
Li Daoxuan joked: "Broken his leg again?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed. Li Shan rolled his eyes at Li Daoxuan and asked his guards to take out the grill under the eaves. However, he, Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo left quietly.
"Brother Huairen, what are you going to do?"
The only one who could ask such a question without hesitation was the loud-mouthed Li Zhaode. Li Daoxuan and Li Kai looked at each other and said nothing.
