Man Tanghong

Chapter 657

In comparison, Li Shiji's emphasis on affection and righteousness seems very fake.

After all, he went to collect Li Mi's body and put on filial piety for Li Mi. He seemed to be loyal to Li Mi, but in fact he set up Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other old Wagang brothers.

He has gained a good reputation, but Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were all turned into ruthless people by him.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like self-interest at the expense of others, rather than loyalty.

"However, now is not the time to judge Li Shiji. We must find a way to increase Yinsui's troops as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji said with a sigh.

After Li Shiji and Su Dingfang soldiers entered Daizhou, there was no need to worry about the battle from Shizhou to Weize Pass. They could attack the Turks in Lanzhou from between Loufan Pass and Xiaoyanmen Pass.

As long as the Turks are smart enough, they will definitely give up the battlefield from Shizhou to Weizeguan and attack Suizhou with all their strength.

Once the stalemate with Li Xiaogong in Shizhou continues, what awaits them is a two-sided attack, and the entire army is wiped out.

The soldiers that Xieli sent to attack the line from Shizhou to Weizeguan were not elites, and most of them were servants and slaves.

Now half of them have been captured by Li Shiji and others, and the remaining half cannot resist the attack of Li Shiji and others, so the only way left is to retreat to Suizhou and attack Suizhou with Suizhou's army.

Li Xiaogong will then lead Li Shiji and others to redeploy their defenses at Loufan Pass and Yanmen Pass, and also deploy defenses at Daizhou and Yizhou to help Chai Shao deal with Li Yi.

Li Xiaogong had to leave a soldier at Xiaoyanmen Pass to prevent the Turkic people from bluffing a shot and returning to Xiaoyanmen Pass again.

In this way, the various armies under Li Xiaogong's command, as well as the troops led by Su Dingfang and Chai Shao could not move.

I can only think of him sending additional troops to Suizhou.

The soldiers and horses of Xiaoguan could not be moved, because the Turkic army outside the pass showed no sign of weakening at all, and the soldiers and horses of Yanqing could not be moved, because once the soldiers and horses of Yanqing were transferred, the Turks might turn around and attack Yanqing. celebrate.

The soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in and around Guanzhong have almost been mobilized, and the only ones that can be mobilized are a few soldiers and horses from the twelve guards guarding Chang'an City.

These soldiers and horses still have to guard Chang'an City, internally defending against the internal strife in the Tang Dynasty, and externally defending against the Turkic people who suddenly broke through the border of the Tang Dynasty and entered the Guanzhong, so they can't move.

So there are no soldiers and horses to send to help Suizhou.

"Why don't you send troops from Liangzhou over here, and another from here to Suizhou?"

Li Shimin also knew that there were no soldiers in Guanzhong to move out at the moment, so he proposed to replace Liangzhou's soldiers and horses with Xiaoguan's soldiers and horses.

The meaning is to order Liangzhou soldiers and horses to come over, and at the same time Liangzhou soldiers and horses are coming, send a soldier and horse from here to Suizhou.

Doing so can reduce the time needed for Datang to deploy troops, and the risk that Datang needs to bear is also the smallest.

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Liangzhou's soldiers and horses won't come over..."

Although Liangzhou is the territory of Datang in name, and the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are also soldiers and horses of Datang in name, but An Xinggui has the final say in Liangzhou.

Don't look at An Xinggui's loyalty in Chang'an City before, he looks like he will do whatever the Tang Dynasty asks him to do.

But without his transfer order, or his nod, it would have been very difficult for Datang to mobilize troops from Liangzhou.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.

Liangzhou is not only An Xinggui's lair, but also one of Li's lairs.

The full name of the Li family is Longxi Li family.

Longxi is in Liangzhou.

So the Li family still has considerable influence in Liangzhou.

Especially in the second year of Wude, An Xinggui captured Liang Wang Li Gui and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with the counties in the northwest. When Li Jiancheng rushed to Yuanzhou to surrender, he inspected the counties of Liangzhou. power is even higher.

So even if An Xinggui didn't come forward, if Li Jiancheng came forward to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Longxi and several states near Longxi, they could still be mobilized.

But An Xinggui is now in Turkic, and Li Jiancheng is not easy to release, so it has become extremely difficult to transfer Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

Moreover, Liangzhou's soldiers and horses now also have to guard against the Turks and Tuyuhun who take advantage of the fire to loot, so it is not easy to move lightly.

Although Tuyuhun had been beaten to the point of being unable to become an enemy of the Central Plains during the two conquests of the former Sui Dynasty, but after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, under the instigation of the former Sui Guanghua princess who married Tuyuhun, he repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty and became a big A major problem in the northwestern frontier of Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been busy unifying the Central Plains and resisting the Turkic people, and has no time to deal with the Tuyuhun people, which made the Tuyuhun people even more rampant.

If Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are transferred away, and no one is guarding them, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to loot.

"Then let the eldest brother go there himself."

Li Shimin said seriously.

Li Jiancheng was still drowsy in a corner of the city gate building, but when he heard this, he immediately felt relieved, sat up suddenly and said, "I can take a walk, but..."

Before he could finish his sentence, before he raised the conditions, Li Yuanji shook his head decisively and said, "Let's forget it. I suspect that Yicheng and Guanghua have always been in close contact. This time the Turkic people went south, Yicheng may have already I sent someone to contact Guanghua.

I'm afraid Tuyuhun's troops are ready to mobilize their horses and horses, waiting for us to transfer Liangzhou soldiers and horses to leave. "

If Liangzhou is lost, and Li Yi turns against him again, then the territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty will be almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty. The dilemma of having no horses to use in the Song Dynasty may also appear in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanji didn't want Tang to follow in the footsteps of Song.

So in the long run, letting Jieli in is better than losing Liangzhou.

When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng heard this, their expressions changed.

Li Jiancheng even patted the wall inside the city gate and cursed: "These two bitches!"

Li Yuanji did not make too many comments on this. Whether Yicheng and Guanghua are sluts or not depends on the angle from which you look at this issue. From the perspective of the family, the Li family replaced the Yang family and occupied the Yang family. As Yang's family business, as a child of Yang's family, it is also right to avenge Yang's.

From the perspective of the ethnic group, if you help the Tuyuhun people and the Turkic people and bully the Han people, then you are a bitch.

From a human point of view, especially a woman's point of view, they are two poor people.

After all, they were married at a very young age and married to the grassland. Not only did they have to serve the grassland khan who didn't understand anything and didn't love cleanliness, but they also had to be raped by their successors after the grassland khan died. Inherit, continue to serve people.

This kind of experience that goes against human relations, this kind of tragic experience, is also a kind of sadness for them.

With their identities, they should have lived a life of superiority and luxury, but not only did they not enjoy the benefits that their identities brought them, but they also had to suffer because of their identities.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are poor people.

Li Yuanji has always looked down on such things as taking a woman to make a kiss. In his opinion, this is a manifestation of incompetence and a manifestation of ruining people.

As a person in power, one should be as tough as Taizu.

Come to fight if you don't accept it!
Hit to your service!

Anything that ruins people, loses power and humiliates the country is absolutely unacceptable.

The rules set by other people have not been discussed with me, and I don't agree with them, so I just don't recognize them, and I have to set a new rule for you.

For example, my cannon can hit twelve nautical miles, why should I agree with your international rule of three nautical miles of territorial waters? I just want to set twelve nautical miles.

Are you not satisfied?
Let's fight! ! !

This is what a leader should look like.

Li Shimin didn't make any comments on Yicheng and Guanghua's affairs, he just frowned tightly and said: "Hearing what you said, I remembered that when the Turks invaded my Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun People did take the opportunity to invade Liangzhou.

As if they had discussed it in advance, when the Turks moved, the Tuyuhun people moved immediately.

In the past, I didn't pay much attention to the war with the Tuyuhun people. I always focused on Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, and Jieli.

Now that I think about it again, it is possible that Yicheng and Guanghua have colluded together and intend to overthrow my Tang Dynasty. "

The Tuyuhun people were interrupted by the former Sui Dynasty. Now they occupy a large area of ​​northwest territory, but they don't have much strength. Although after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they repeatedly violated the frontiers, but the threat to the Tang Dynasty has not been as great as Fu Gongyou's rebellion. Da, before entering the interior of Datang, he was repelled by Liangzhou's soldiers and horses.

Even sometimes, before Liangzhou's soldiers and horses can exert their strength, they will be persuaded.

So it is reasonable that Li Shimin didn't pay much attention.

After all, when faced with a group of wolves, tigers and leopards, who has the leisure to pay attention to the rabbits jumping around all the time.

That is to say, there is still the big threat of Turks in Datang, and there are still hidden dangers like Li Yi, and people like Liang Shidu who have not been conquered.

Otherwise, the soldiers and horses of Datang would have been criss-crossing Tuyuhun long ago.

"Since Yicheng and Guanghua have colluded together, it is true that Liangzhou's soldiers and horses can't move, so where will the soldiers and horses be sent to help Suizhou?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin, and sighed: "Then transfer the troops of Eastern Shaanxi Road to the north. You are so worried about this, don't you just want to say this when I have nothing to do and no soldiers to transfer?

I will tell you now. "

At present, there are no soldiers in Guanzhong to be transferred, and almost all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized around have been mobilized. The rest, those who can be mobilized, and can rush to Suizhou in time to help, are only the soldiers of Eastern Shaanxi Road horse.

When Shaanxi Province was first established, it had great power and had many places to control. In addition to controlling all soldiers and horses under the rule of Shaanxi Province, it also controlled all soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Hebei and Hedong.

In the fourth year of Wude, after Li Shimin conquered Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the power of Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province can be said to have reached its peak. All the places east of Hangu Pass and north of the Yangtze River are almost all Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province. The final decision.

Historically, it was not until the ninth year of Wude that Daxingtai of Shandong Road was abolished, and various roads were established separately.

But now, after Liu Heitai was destroyed in Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province, part of his power was weakened. Already exist in name only.

There are only some places that can be restrained, some counties west of Duji Road and west of Taiyuan Prefecture.

But there are still many soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness is still strong.

Although there is no way to compare with the heyday, it is still the strongest place in the Tang Dynasty.

It was precisely because of this that Li Yuanji didn't want to let them out until Li Shimin's mark on them was completely removed.

But now that Suizhou is in a hurry, and Li Shimin's life is firmly in his hands, he can't take care of so much anymore.
