Man Tanghong

Li Yuanji thought about it carefully, and it was true that Su Nishi did meet all the conditions Li Yuan said.

"In this way, there is really a problem within Turkic, and it is very likely that the problem is Sunis?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Yuan and asked.

Li Yuan spread his hands and said: "All I can give you is my inference. Whether it is true or not is up to you to investigate. After all, without any actual evidence, what I said is just speculation .”

Li Yuanji nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Then why is Suni missing?"

To be precise, why did Sunishi betray Jieli?
His status in Turkic is not low, and there is a large independent fief. He is like a local emperor in his fief. Except for listening to Xieli when necessary, the rest of him is completely free to do what he wants. what.

In this case, he had absolutely no reason to betray Xieli.

After all, if he could have the same status and authority in Datang, Li Yuanji felt that he had no need to plan any Xuanwumen, let alone compete with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

His position is like that of the princes and kings in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even if Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have the right to dispatch him, he can choose to listen or not according to his own wishes.

If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin want to target him, he has enough strength to protect himself.

So he really couldn't think of a reason for Suni to betray Xieli.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuan said uncertainly, "Maybe it's because the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

Li Yuanji was stunned and said: "Father means that Suni saw his future fate from Tuli, in order to avoid the same fate as Tuli, that's why he chose to join forces with Liang Shidu and the Dahe clan. Xieli launched an attack?"

Li Yuan nodded his head slightly, and said, "Perhaps Xieli has already started secretly plotting against Suni, and Suni sensed the danger, so he took action in advance."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan in puzzlement and said, "Why does father think so?"

Li Yuan pursed his lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Isn't that what you three brothers were like back then?"

Li Yuanji understood immediately.

I understand why Li Yuan thinks that there is something wrong with the Turks, and I also understand why Li Yuan said that Suni Shi's attack on Xieli was cold-hearted.

Li Yuan substituted everything about the Tang Dynasty on the Turks, and then used what happened in the Tang Dynasty to deduce what happened to the Turks.

While thinking about how to verify this matter, Li Yuanji echoed with a dry smile, "Our three brothers are not the same as Suni Shi, we didn't unite with outsiders to deal with father."

Li Yuan blew his beard and stared: "Everything you have done is similar to that of Suni!"

Li Yuanji smiled perfunctorily and did not speak again.

After chatting with Li Yuan about other things for a while, he left the Liangyi Hall.

After returning to Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuanji immediately summoned Zhao Chengyong, and asked Zhao Chengyong to send someone to Daizhou to deliver a message, and asked Su Dingfang to investigate Suni's movements.

If everything Li Yuan guessed is true, then the war between Turks, Liang Shidu, and the Dahe clan would be interesting.

Although the Tang Dynasty could not send a large number of soldiers and horses to take this opportunity to sweep the Liang Shidu, the Dahe clan, and the Turks, but it could let the Tudiji, the stepping forces, and even the governors of the states near the Turks take the opportunity to pick up some Cheap.

When Sunis betrayed Jieli and led Liang Shidu and Dahe Duoluo to attack Jieli, they had no time to take care of other things, let alone prevent Datang from absorbing the Turks, the Dahe clan, and the Liang Kingdom. territory.

Before they won Xieli, and before they took over all of Xieli's legacy and digested Xieli's legacy, Datang could be by their side and do whatever they wanted.

After they digest Xieli's legacy, Datang's first five-year plan should be completed, and before they grow stronger, Datang will be able to march northward.

Of course, this is when they win Xieli, if they can't win Xieli, they can only watch helplessly under Jiuquan, watching Datang avenge them.

There are only three things that Datang needs to do now. The first thing is to determine the specific reasons for the war between the Turks, the Liang Kingdom, and the Dahe clan.

The second thing is to take advantage of the war between the three parties.

The third thing is to take advantage of the three-party forces to develop silently.

When all the hostile forces are still in conflict with each other, it is definitely the safest way to manage the country by silently developing and growing above all of them.

If in this war, we can think of a way to include Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.

It will be easier for Datang to conquer these places in the future.

These places have been conquered one by one by the Tang Dynasty in history. Now that Li Yuanji is in power, he will naturally not change course. He also wants to do it more thoroughly than in history.

After the letter to Su Dingfang was sent out, all that was left was to wait quietly.

When Li Gao was called to move to Beijing, Li Yuanji didn't need to intervene, Li Yuan would handle the matter properly.

In March.

When the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms withered, Li Gaoqian returned to Chang'an from Lingzhou in an ox cart. After returning to Chang'an, he did not enter Chang'an City, but lived in a manor outside the city.

That was Zhang Liang's manor outside Chang'an City.

After Zhang Liang was lured into the deep mountains by Li Xiaoxie, the people in Zhang Liang's house and the village were also secretly emptied.

In the name of Zhang Liang, Li Gaoqian took control of the entire Zhang Mansion and the entire Zhang Family Manor.

Li Yuanji followed Li Xiaogong to Zhang's Manor after Li Gaoqian had established a firm foothold in Zhang's Manor.

On the road.

Li Yuanji sat in the car, and Li Xiaogong followed on a horse.

Li Xiaogong was hesitant along the way, as if he had something to say, until it was about to approach Zhang's Manor, Li Xiaogong came to the side of the carriage, and asked a little startled: "Is the saint's game this time a little too big?" ?”

Let a person who is about to be forgotten replace a prince who is in the limelight, and issue various orders in the name of the prince, and at the same time fight against the Zheng family and even the wealthy family behind the Zheng family.

This is really unimaginable and incomprehensible.

If this matter were brought to light, the repercussions would bury many people.

That's why Li Xiaogong felt terrified.

He felt that Li Yuan was dancing on the tip of a knife, and if he was not careful, he would drag many people to be buried with him.

Being involved in it in his capacity would not necessarily make him retreat, so he retreated a bit.

Li Yuanji was looking through the document Xu Jingzong secretly played to promote the apricot house, as well as the rice promotion document sent by Ren Gui from Yuezhou, and the documents related to the construction of Yuezhou city. Hearing Li Xiaogong's words, he casually glanced at Li Xiaogong , said indifferently: "Is it big? It's okay!"

Li Xiaogong was in a hurry, he straightened his body excitedly on the horseback and said: "This is not big? This is to fight against the seven or eight families with the Zheng family as the vanguard, if you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

Even if you and I participate in it, it is very likely that we will have to peel off the skin. "

Li Yuanji said disapprovingly: "As long as we win, wouldn't it be someone else who peeled off?"

Li Xiaogong said even more excitedly: "Can we win? We are using our family to fight against several others!"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "How can you boost other people's ambitions and destroy our prestige? We are the royal family now, controlling all the soldiers and horses in the world, let alone fighting against a few aristocratic families. We also have a certain amount of confidence against all the aristocratic families."

Li Xiaogong laughed angrily at these words, and said with a ferocious smile: "Am I raising other people's morale and destroying my prestige? I'm telling the truth.

Although our Li family is now a royal family, in the eyes of those aristocratic families, it is just a bigger family.

Even if we control all the soldiers and horses in the world, it is impossible to say that if we attack others, we will attack them. "

Li Yuanji nodded his head and said: "So we need an excuse, all the excuses to do anything to them, Zhang Liang is this excuse."

Li Xiaogong stared and said: "But Zhang Liang has already been sent to the mountains by Xiaoxie!"

Li Yuanji nodded again and said, "That's why my father transferred Li Gaoqian back to take over Zhang Liang, and in Zhang Liang's name to do what Zhang Liang hadn't finished."

Li Xiaogong wanted to speak, but Li Yuanji interrupted him, and continued: "You just need to remember that my father asked you to come to Li Gaoqian's side to keep an eye on Li Gaoqian, and also to prevent others from approaching Li Gaoqian. up.

You don't need to worry about the rest, and you don't need to ask too much.

This incident was planned by my father behind the scenes. I don't think my father has the time to explain anything to you, and you don't have the courage to ask my father for an explanation.

So do whatever my father tells you to do. "

Li Xiaogong knew that Li Yuanji didn't want to explain anything to him anymore, so he could only grit his teeth and rode away unwillingly.

Li Yuanji looked at the back of Li Xiaogong going away, shook his head slightly, didn't say anything more, and continued to look at the documents sent back by Xu Jingzong and Ren Gui.

In his opinion, Li Xiaogong is actually not suitable for marking people, and Li Yuan chose the wrong person.

Li Yuan should send Li Shentong to stare at Li Gaoqian, and let Li Shentong control Li Gaoqian instead of him.

In that case, Li Gaoqian would be like a puppet on a string, doing whatever he was asked to do.

Li Xiaogong was very different from Li Shentong. Li Shentong would not back down when faced with the tasks assigned by Li Yuan, nor would he think that Li Yuan was playing too big, or even think too much about it.

Because in Li Shentong's heart, Li Yuan is not only his elder brother, but also the patriarch of the Li family.

The decision made by the patriarch of the Li clan, the Li clan only needs to implement it perfectly. As for whether it is right or wrong, whether it is good or bad, and what consequences it will cause, it is not for him alone to worry about it.
