Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2223

Changsun Wuji wanted to curse in his heart.

He also didn't expect this to happen. Then Qin Tian is simply a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.

Such a person, how can he continue to fight?

Let him continue to fight, then Xiliang is afraid that they will fight against their Datang.

He was puzzled.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji stood up and said such a sentence, Li Shimin didn't understand what he meant.

"Eldest Sun Aiqing, what are the long-term plans?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun and the grasslands of the Turks all need a long-term plan."

Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Tuyuhun dared to support the Turks and attack Liangzhou City. This is already a blatant rebellion. If my Tang Dynasty is indifferent to this, I am afraid that people will make fun of it. I can only send people to teach Tuyuhun a lesson. , and no one else."

If Qin Tian takes action against Tuyuhun, will it make people think that Xiliang has nothing to do with Datang?

If Datang were to come forward for such matters, it would be to tell the world that no matter how much Xiliang contributed, Xiliang was still Datang's Xiliang.

Changsun Wuji's meaning was rather cryptic, but after he finished saying this, Li Shimin immediately understood.

He felt that Changsun Wuji was right in reminding him that the matter of Tuyuhun was just a reprimand, he had to send someone to destroy Tuyuhun, and it had to be Tang Dynasty who sent people to destroy Tuyuhun, not Xiliang.

Otherwise, it will make people feel that Xiliang has left Datang.

"What Changsun Aiqing said is true. Tuyuhun dared to attack Liangzhou City of my Tang Dynasty. This is already a rebellion against my Tang Dynasty. If this is the case, my Tang Dynasty will never let them go lightly. We must send troops to attack Tuyuhun, let them know how powerful we are, and who among you lovers is willing to lead troops to attack Tuyuhun?"

This decision was different from what Li Shimin had thought before, but Li Shimin didn't care, he felt that he, Datang, must let the world understand that Xiliang is the Xiliang of Datang.

And after he spoke, he was unambiguous towards the officials, and someone immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is openly rebelling, and the general is willing to lead the army to destroy Tuyuhun."

"My lord, the last general is also willing to lead the army to destroy Tuyuhun."

"My lord, the last general is also willing to lead the army."

"........."

Many generals stood up and expressed their willingness to lead troops to attack Tuyuhun, and the atmosphere was very lively. After all, what Tuyuhun did made them very angry.

For these generals, only by fighting non-stop can they accumulate military merit. These generals need military merit, otherwise their existence will be an eyesore.

However, just when they kept standing up to show their leadership, Li Ke, king of Shu, stood up.

Since the last expedition missed, Li Ke has been very low-key, but this time, he stood up again.

"Father, I know that my ability is humble, but I am still willing to share my worries for the Tang Dynasty. I am willing to lead the army to attack Tuyuhun."

If he made meritorious service in this battle, it would definitely be regarded as a great achievement, which is very good for anyone.

It is understandable that Li Ke, king of Shu, wanted such credit.

Other princes, such as Wei Wang Li Tai, Jin Wang Li Zhi, etc., also wanted this credit very much, but neither Li Zhi nor Li Tai thought they had the ability to attack Tuyuhun.

Needless to say, Wei Wang Li Tai was obese, and asking him to travel across mountains and rivers to fight in Tuyuhun would be more uncomfortable than killing him.

As for Jin Wang Li Zhi, he is not very old after all, and he has never fought a war before. Even if he wanted to go, his father might not let him go.

How can a person who has never fought a war before let him go to war?

Therefore, after Li Ke, King of Shu, stood up, not many people in the court fought against him, and Prince Li Chengqian just smiled and stood in the hall without saying anything.

Having become the crown prince, he doesn't need to take risks at all now, as long as he has no faults, and if he has no faults, then he will always be the prince.

And if a person is not at fault, it can be regarded as a skill, after all, not everyone can do this.

Seeing Shu King Li Ke like this, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but soon he thought that it is better to give such credit to his son than to others. Since the last incident, the King of Shu has been greatly affected, and now he might as well give him a chance.

After thinking about this, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, then the emperor will give you [-] soldiers and horses. You must teach Tuyuhun a lesson and let them know how powerful I am in Tang Dynasty."

[-] soldiers and horses are not too many, but Li Shimin only gave these soldiers and horses. After hearing this, Li Ke, the king of Shu, didn't ask for any conditions, and quickly agreed.

After discussing the matter of dealing with Tuyuhun, Changsun Wuji continued to say: "Your Majesty, after the matter of Tuyuhun is resolved, there will be Turks. Now that Turks have been wiped out by the King of Xiliang, then Ashina He Lu's head must still be sent to Chang'an, the capital city. Only in this way can we demonstrate the power of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, I am afraid that how to deal with the Turkic grassland must be considered in the long term. The minister proposed that the king of Xiliang should enter the capital. Discuss this."

If the vassal king did not get the emperor's edict, he would not be able to enter the capital casually. In fact, many people did not want the vassal king to enter the capital, but Qin Tian's situation is now an exception.

Qin Tian's strength in Xiliang is already very strong, and it is basically impossible to deal with Qin Tian in Xiliang, so if he wants to do anything to Qin Tian, ​​he can only say that he has brought out Xiliang.

It's just that he is a vassal king, and if there is no reason, he really can't get him out of Xiliang, but now, Ashina Helu's head needs to be transported to the capital, and the ownership of the Turkic grassland also needs to be discussed, so that Qin Tian can return to Xiliang. Jing, this is well deserved, right?

Changsun Wuji hoped that Qin Tian could return to Beijing.

And many officials in Chao hadn't seen Qin Tian for a long time, so they still missed Qin Tian in their hearts, so soon, there were more voices echoing in Chao.

"That's right, Your Majesty, it would be more appropriate for the King of Xiliang to return to the capital to discuss this matter with him."

"Yes, yes, let the king of Xiliang return to the capital. He has returned to the capital, so we can discuss this matter."

"Yeah, Chen also thinks it's good to do so."

"........."

Everyone said this one after another, and Li Shimin was also aware of Changsun Wuji's thoughts. Besides, Li Shimin also missed Qin Tian in his heart. For some reason, he just wanted to see Qin Tian. Maybe only when he saw him would he feel relieved. .

"Okay, then let the king of Xiliang go to Beijing."
