Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 546 Winter, Choice
Li Xiuning was not surprised by the hands-on matter, after all, she also knew the threat of these alien races after returning from Liaodong.

But it's too early now. You must know that Datang can wait for five or even ten years.

At that time, Li Xiuning believed that under the leadership of this second brother, he would definitely be able to sweep away the alien races in the north.

At this time, Li Xiuning's thoughts were racing and others didn't know, but Li Shimin's eyes kept falling on Shu An.

"I don't know how Yafu will choose!"

Li Shimin thought silently, although he didn't say too many words, but the meaning has been expressed very clearly.

"Actually, winter seems to be pretty good."

A lot of time has passed this time, Shu An suddenly said with a chuckle.

If it was in the past, then Li Shimin hoped that the foreign race would not invade in winter, but now Li Shimin does not have so much difference.

As for the reason, then it is the function of the cotton clothes, and the soldiers at the border can also be full now.

Under such a double situation, naturally there is no such thing as the death of soldiers in winter because of the cold.

Even with sufficient food supply, some elite troops like Xue Rengui still have winter training.

Of course, Xue Rengui may have been taught by Shu An, and he is no stranger to winter training.

Although some people think that Xue Rengui is asking for trouble, but now Xue Rengui has also grown into a big tree by himself, and no one can shake it.

But the only disadvantage is that it costs too much. Fortunately, Xue Rengui can directly report to Li Shimin.

After all, Li Shimin is the nominal leader of this elite army, and he still has a lot of advantages in terms of cost.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard Yafu's words, but then he seemed to have some understanding.

The emperor didn't think so much before, and even in his opinion, it is okay to start the war in any season, or he is confident.

But now it is found that winter seems to be really good, because the ice and snow in the northern winter will divide the regions one by one.

Those alien races are destined not to be united. After all, it is not only difficult to move in the heavy snow, but also easy to lose their way.

It is impossible for these alien races to unite, but there is a problem that the time seems to be a little rushed.

But if he didn't attack this winter, he would have to wait until next year, which Li Shimin didn't want to accept.

One year doesn't seem like much time, but Li Shimin can't wait any longer, but Li Shimin still doesn't understand where this Asian father chose Fang Xi.

At this time, Shu An also seemed to see the doubts of the emperor, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and then slowly spit out a few words.

"Xue Yantuo!"

Even if the former Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan has been depressed in Chang'an, it does not mean that the Turkic people will perish.

The current East Turkic region was originally ruled by the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan. If this continues, Shu An knows that this leader of Xue Yantuo will establish a Xueyantuo Khanate.

Don't look at surrendering to Datang now, but Turkic is like a wolf that can't get enough.

Although the Xueyantuo Khanate was later destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was almost in his twilight years at that time.

It also consumed a lot of Datang's national strength, but it is better to attack now and take the lead in eliminating Xue Yantuo.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's face first revealed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Yafu would choose the most difficult Xue Yantuo.

Among the alien races in the north, Xue Yantuo is now the real king of the grassland, but because Xue Yantuo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before.

Therefore, Li Shimin also had a lot of scruples in terms of morality, so he wanted to attack the Liaodong region before.

He didn't expect this Yafu to be more ruthless than him, but he wanted to attack Xue Yantuo directly at this moment.

Li Shimin didn't speak immediately, but continued to look at his father, wanting to listen to his explanation.

"The only one in the north who can pose a real threat to Datang is Xue Yantuo."

"There are still many conflicts between Xue Yantuo and Western Turks, but Xue Yantuo must win."

"At that time, if the leader Xue Yantuo has ambitions, then uniting Huihe, Bayegu, Adiao and other tribes is likely to become a serious problem for Datang."

This time, Shu An's explanation was very detailed, and he would kill any threat in the bud.

Not to mention that this is recorded in history, and Xue Yantuo eventually became the confidant of Datang.

Following Shu An's narration, Li Shimin's complexion also gradually became serious, because he had the lessons learned from the previous Turks.

Therefore, if Xue Yantuo truly unified the entire grassland, then it might really become a threat to Datang in the future.

Even Li Shimin couldn't just sit back and watch something happen, and plan ahead. It would be too late if he waited until the future.

"But if you use swords against Xue Yantuo, then I'm afraid that this winter may not be able to fully achieve the goal."''

But Li Shimin still had some hesitation and said that although Datang could send troops in winter, it would also be affected by ice and snow.

Coupled with the fact that the grassland is so big, one winter is simply not enough time to eliminate Xue Yantuo.

If you wait until the beginning of spring, then it is very likely that Xue Yantuo will unite with other alien races and tribes.

At that time, Datang would probably be attacked by most of the alien races in the north, even this emperor would have a big head.

"Now the north is just the grassland and Liaodong. If you attack the grassland, let Liaodong mess up."

But in the face of Li Shimin's doubts, how could Shu An not have thought about this question, and quickly responded.

"Let Liaodong into chaos?"

Li Shimin was taken aback and said, but then he felt that this matter was not easy.

"Shimin should have seen the envoy from Silla, what do you think?"

Shu An's voice continued to ring out. You must know that this matter still has a lot to do with these small countries.

"Could it be?"

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said softly, he has done a lot of research on the emperor in the countries around the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, when there is nothing to spare, this emperor will study it, and he is naturally aware of the current contradiction between Silla and Goguryeo.

Similarly, Goguryeo is also the main threat of Tang Liaodong, but they want Silla to go to war against Goguryeo. Is this possible? You must know that Silla has been suppressed and beaten.

Otherwise, they would not have sent envoys to Datang, just to seek Datang's support.

However, if a certain price is paid, it seems that it is not impossible. Once these two small countries go to war, Liaodong will be in chaos.
