Man Tanghong

Chapter 798

Wang Gui couldn't help but said, "Then just watch Zhang Liang carry out the assassination?"

Li Yuanji took it for granted: "Otherwise? Wang Qing has other coups that can perfectly solve this matter?"

Pei Ju sighed, and said with a sad face: "But this wind can't blow up!"

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "Mr. Zheng asked for all of this!"

Pei Ju let out a long sigh and said nothing.

Xiao Yu and Wang Gui hesitated, and did not speak again.

Isn't that what Mrs. Zheng asked for?

What's wrong with Mrs. Zheng, she insisted on fighting Zhang Liang by assassination.

That Zhang Liang retaliated back in the same way, and it was reasonable to say that he would go to the sky.

As long as the court does not restrict Zhang Liang's behavior, Zhang Liang can do whatever he wants.

"Okay, let them settle the matter of Zhang Liang and Mrs. Zheng by themselves. I summoned you to the Tai Chi Hall today to discuss the military affairs of Daizhou."

Li Yuanji made a summary of this matter, and then picked up a secret letter on the case table and praised: "A few days ago, Su Dingfang sent a letter saying that Liang Shidu and the Turkic people have been outside Dingxiang for five hundred years. The wolf mound in the village handed over, and the two sides fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to the other."

Before Li Yuanji finished speaking, Li Shentong said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be. With the number of troops under Liang Shidu's command, how could it be possible for the Turkic people to beat you back and forth?"

How many soldiers and horses does Liang Shidu have?

The soldiers and horses of the Turks are more than ten times that of his, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than his soldiers and horses. They still fight outside the city of the Turkic royal court.

It would be good if Master Liang was not suppressed and beaten. How could it be possible to fight back and forth with the Turkic people? !

Not only did Li Shentong not understand, but Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Qu Tutong, and Li Shiji who came to participate in this meeting for the first time also did not understand.

Qin Qiong didn't have any status to speak of in front of these people, so he didn't make a statement, and was there as a wood carving and clay sculpture.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shentong, signaled Li Shentong not to talk too much, and then continued: "I was about to talk about this. According to what Su Dingfang said in the letter, it is not only Master Liang who fought against the Turks in Wolf Hill this time." The soldiers and horses of the capital also have the soldiers and horses of the Dahe clan.

Moreover, it seems that the main force of the Turks was not in Dingxiang, but went elsewhere. "

The way of life of the grassland khan is very different from that of the emperor of the Central Plains.

Grassland khans are bound to be in a certain place, and they will not live in a certain place all the time, but will continue to live in different places according to the rotation of the seasons.

Therefore, the capital city on the grassland is generally a capital city in a symbolic sense.

The real power center has been constantly shifting following the figure of the steppe Khan.

That is to say, where the Khan's Golden Wolf Tent is, the power center on the grassland will be there, and it will not stop just because of a capital.

Turkic Khan, on the other hand, likes to live near Lingzhou in winter.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the main force of the Turks is not in Dingxiang.

After all, all the khans on the grassland like to bring their main force with them when they move.

Even the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, who was semi-Sinicized in history, likes to take the most powerful Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom with him every time he travels.

Therefore, the Xieli people are not in Dingxiang, and the main force is not in Dingxiang, which is completely in line with the behavior style of the grassland forces.

"In this way, the reason why Liang Shidu launched an attack on the Turks when Xieli went to Lingzhou is also because of this timing?"

Li Shentong asked thoughtfully.

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said nothing.

Li Jing took a look at Li Shiji and gave Li Shiji the opportunity to perform.

Facing the new ruler, Li Shiji was not stage-frightened. He stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "The King of Huai'an's words are wrong. Before Liang Shidu entered Turks, Jieli intended to blackmail him. He didn't want to It may not be in case Liang Shi is in a hurry to jump over the wall.

Therefore, he will not follow the habit of previous years to live outside Lingzhou.

Either he was stumbled by something, or he was hiding somewhere waiting to give Master Liang a painful blow. "

Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and others nodded in agreement.

Li Shentong frowned slightly and said, "In other words, Jieli either has no time to deal with Liang Shidu, or is he just waiting to wipe out Liang Shidu in one fell swoop?"

Li Shiji nodded slowly.

Chen Shuda couldn't help but said: "Then how should I, Tang Dynasty, deal with it?"

Li Shiji didn't hide it, let alone give in, but said openly: "Of course we just wait and see."

Chen Shuda frowned and said, "Don't do anything?"

Li Shiji smiled and said: "It's not like doing nothing, I, Datang, can take this opportunity to find out why people from the Dahe clan are mixed with Master Liang.

At the same time, it is also possible to send troops to continuously erode the territory of Liang Shidu.

As long as there is not much movement and the encroachment is not too much, Master Liang will not be able to spare a moment. "

Chen Shuda nodded thoughtfully.

Li Shentong patted his forehead and said, "That's right, how could people from the Dahe clan get mixed up with Master Liang?"

The Dahe clan is also Khitan, which is the general name of the alliance of Khitan tribes. It first appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During the Northern Qi Dynasty, when they invaded the Central Plains to the south, they were defeated by an army of [-] led by Gao Yang and suffered heavy losses. Since then, they have been hiding in the western Liaoning area and slowly regained their vitality.

During the former Sui Dynasty, he went south to Yingzhou, was thwarted by the former Sui Grand Prix, captured more than 4 people, was hit hard again, and was forced to attach himself to the Turks.

In the second year of Wude, his chief Dahe Duoluo led an army to invade Pingzhou. Luo Yi (Luo Yi rebelled, and the surname has been removed) was beaten on the ground and returned to the western Liaoning area.

The year before last, because Datang defeated the Turkic and Liang Shidu coalition forces at Weizeguan, which greatly frustrated the Turkic spirit, they bowed their heads to Datang, presented famous horses and ferrets as tributes, and bowed their heads to Datang.

However, in terms of political orientation, the Dahe family is still more inclined to Turks.

Historically, it was not until the second year of Zhenguan, when Dahe Duoluo died, and Dahe Mohui, who was close to the Tang Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, that he rebelled against the Turks and voted for the Tang Dynasty.

Now it is still early in the second year of Zhenguan, the Dahe family should continue to be the loyal dog of the Turks, why did they suddenly betray the Turks and join forces with Master Liang to attack the Turks together?
Li Shentong was puzzled by this.

Li Yuanji was even more puzzled by this. After all, he knew far more things than Li Shentong, so naturally he had more doubts than Li Shentong.

"Could it be that Master Liang promised some benefits to the Dahe family?"

Li Gang asked uncertainly.

Dahe's abnormal behavior is really incomprehensible.

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Probably not, if the Dahe clan would betray the Turks for a small benefit, then Tang Jian would have persuaded the Dahe clan when he was in Yanzhou.

After all, compared to Liang Shidu, we can give significantly more. "

During the previous war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Tang Jian lobbied the major tribes in Yanzhou, and asked the major tribes to cooperate with Tudiji to attack Shuofang City, and promised a lot of benefits.

Dahe was unmoved at that time.

Naturally, it is impossible to fall to Liang Shidu for a little favor now.

After all, Liang Shidu's power can't be compared with Datang and Turks at all.

If the Dahe clan wants to reap benefits and depend on the strong, it is impossible to choose Liang Shidu.

"What if it's a big benefit? Like sharing the Turks?"

Xiao Yu said something abruptly.

The people in the hall were all taken aback, then shook their heads in unison.

Li Xiaogong said almost without hesitation: "With the strength of Liang Shidu and the Dahe clan, even if they join forces together, they will not be able to take down the Turks."

As the overlord of the grassland, the Turks are naturally the most powerful on the grassland.

Even if they were severely injured in the previous abrupt battle, Liang Shidu and the Dahe clan could not be destroyed.

Therefore, it doesn't make sense to say that Master Liang has to share the Turks with the Dahe clan.

Chen Shuda frowned and asked, "Then why did Liang Shidu and the Dahe clan join forces to attack the Turks together? It's impossible for them to really seek death, right?"

The other people in the hall were silent and no one spoke.

Li Yuanji saw that everyone couldn't figure out the way, so he couldn't help but said: "It seems that there are still things we don't know about, we have to send someone to investigate!"

Li Shentong and the others hesitated for a moment, then nodded in unison.

No matter how you guess right now, you can't figure it out, so you can only send someone to investigate.

As long as enough information is found, the doorway can be figured out.

"I will write to Su Dingfang and let Su Dingfang continue to investigate. You should also think about it and see what secrets we don't know about it."

Li Shentong and others agreed together.

"Here!"

Li Yuanji didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to indicate that everyone can leave.

Li Shentong and others stepped back out of the Taiji Palace, and then got together in twos and threes to leave the Taiji Palace.

After they left, Li Yuanji thought for a long time, and rushed to Chengqing Hall with the secret letter from Su Dingfang.

In politics and war, Li Shimin's talent is absolutely unmatched by few people.

So when you encounter a problem that you can't guess, you can discuss it with Li Shimin and ask Li Shimin to guess it for you. It's absolutely right.

Anyway, Li Shimin is idle now, if he doesn't make use of it, wouldn't that be a waste of talent? !

A waste of talent, especially the talent of an emperor through the ages, will be struck by lightning.

When Li Yuanji arrived at the Palace of Chengqing, he saw Li Shimin teaching Li Chengqian how to practice martial arts. The chubby Li Tai was circling around his father and brother, arguing that he wanted to practice martial arts. Li Lizhi grabbed Yang's leg and asked Yang to play with her , the eldest grandson was watching with a smile in his arms, Cheng Yang, who was a little bigger.

What a picture of family harmony.

Li Yuanji looked hurt.

Obviously this is the life he pursued, but as a result, he is not living it now, but Li Shimin is living it.

If this kind of life doesn't come in exchange for freedom, he really doesn't mind exchanging it with Li Shimin.

"My lord, mistress, His Royal Highness King Yong has arrived..."

Li Yuanji stepped into the gate of the palace with jealousy, and the female officer guarding the gate rushed to Li Shimin and his eldest grandson to report.

Since Li Shimin has no status now, so does the eldest grandson, so the female officer can only call them the master and mistress to show respect.
