Man Tanghong

Isn't this a hooligan? !
Of course, if you put it on yourself, that would be seeking skin from a tiger.

Whether Suni Shi, Liang Shidu, or Dahe Duoluo, they are not stupid. Since they have united together and challenged Xieli, they must have the ambition to develop their joint forces.

Now that they are seeking skin from the tiger, how will they deal with it when they and Jieli are both hurt and Datang takes advantage of it?

Li Shentong didn't understand this question and asked it out.

The answer given by Li Xiaogong is the difference between early death and late death.

Xieli obviously can't tolerate Suni Shi and Liang Shidu anymore. If they don't unite to resist Xieli, they will be eaten by Xieli one by one sooner or later. But their power is not enough to resist Xieli, so they pulled together Da He Duo Luo.

With the addition of Dahe Duoluo, they have the power to resist Xieli, and they can gain a firm foothold under Xieli's encroachment, and they can even encroach on Xieli in turn.

Before they cannibalize Xieli, they need to fight with Xieli with all their strength, and they have no spare power to prevent third-party forces from suddenly joining the battlefield.

Even if they can predict that the third-party forces will end up taking advantage of the situation when they and Jieli fight both losers, they have nothing to do with the third-party forces. And with the excuse that the third-party forces want to see the result of both them and Xieli losing, they attack Xieli freely, please the third party, and ask the third party for benefits.

If the third-party power holders are not too stupid, they will definitely be given certain benefits, and they will be supported to continue fighting with Xieli to the point of losing both sides.

"But they didn't attack Xieli according to our intentions, and the benefits they asked us for were not such things as soldiers, armor and food, but territory.

As for territory, even if we are willing to give it, I am afraid that the civil and military personnel in the ruling and opposition parties, as well as the soldiers in the army, will not agree.

After all, every inch of my territory in the Tang Dynasty was paid for by soldiers. "

Faced with Li Xiaogong's explanation, Li Shentong raised new questions.

Li Xiaogong continued to explain: "Isn't this a deal with us and benefits from us? As long as we agree to their conditions and give them more benefits, we can make them do what we want." Go and attack Jieli."

From a strategic point of view, Li Xiaogong is more inclined to talk to Suni and three people, and agree to the conditions of Suni and three people, and give them more benefits in terms of the conditions proposed by Suni and three people.

In this way, Datang can intervene in the war between Suni Shisan and Xieli, and let the war develop in the direction that Datang wants to see.

Whether it is to let the three of Suni and Xieli consume each other, or to support one of them so that it can destroy the other, Datang can manipulate it in the direction that Datang most wants to see.

When Suni loses three people and Jieli competes for a result, it will be easier for Datang to go down and conquer the Turks.

After all, after Datang controlled the war between Suni and Xieli, it was impossible for one of them to continue to grow or annex the other.

Datang will definitely try his best to let them consume each other.

When they were almost exhausted, no matter what result they fought for, they couldn't stop the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Because at that time, Datang must have suppressed the soldiers and horses of their various forces to an extremely low number.

It is impossible for them to have the spare energy to fight Datang again.

Li Shentong guessed Li Xiaogong's thoughts through Li Xiaogong's words, but he did not support Li Xiaogong's idea. He said without hesitation: "Once we agree to their conditions, we will give them more benefits and let them taste the sweetness." , then they will become more greedy.

At that time, every time they fight, they will come to me to ask for benefits from Datang, so how can I be satisfied with Datang.

More importantly, once we hand over the homeland we recovered from the Liang State, if the remnants of the Wang family, the remnants of the Dou family, and even the remnants of the Yang family all jump out and ask us to hand over the homeland we recovered, then how should we deal with ourselves? "

Li Xiaogong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Those who achieve great things must pay something!"

Li Shentong said without giving in: "Those who achieve great things have to pay something, but it also depends on what they pay. If what you pay is your homeland, then you don't need to do such a big thing."

Li Shentong's idea is very simple, that is, the territory that Datang has already occupied will not give up an inch, no matter how many reasons there are.

Seeing Li Shentong's firm attitude, Li Xiaogong couldn't persuade him, and he didn't bother to talk to Li Shentong any more, but instead focused on Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji would make a decision.

Li Yuanji patiently listened to the opinions of the two people, and he has roughly understood the two people's thoughts. Facing Li Xiaogong's gaze, Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "I think what Uncle Wang said is reasonable, and those who achieve great things can make a difference." Give, but you can't use your homeland as a bargaining chip, otherwise, it's worth not doing this big thing."

Li Yuanji did not say something, that is, this case cannot be opened.

Right now is the early days of the dynasty, and many examples, once started, will become the law of the ancestors later.

Right now, Datang is invincible, so no matter what decision he makes, he will not suffer.

But no one can guarantee that Datang will always maintain a strong and invincible state in the future.

According to the process of history, a dynasty will inevitably enter a period of decline after a period of prosperity.

So Datang is destined to become very weak and less invincible in a certain period of time in the future. If the emperor at that time uses this incident as an example and starts crazy compensation from various places, then how much money does Datang have? Not enough to pay.

More importantly, the backbone of a dynasty is established in the early days of the dynasty in most cases.

If the Tang Dynasty established a backbone in the early days of discord, disobedience, and tribute, and whoever provokes me, I will do everything I can to fight with you to the end, then the future emperors will win again, loyal ministers, good generals, and the people will also I will do my best to support this spine.

In the future, even if Datang forgets, there is a high probability that this backbone will be implemented until the end of the dynasty.

Just like a big man, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the invincible backbone that even if he was militaristic, he would fight his neighbors ups and downs. Even after more than 2000 years, some people still shout for this backbone.

Just like the Tang Dynasty in history, after establishing the backbone of the celestial kingdom, even if the dynasty has entered a period of decline, there are still countless loyal souls standing up for this backbone.

The fact that the Anxi Army guarded the Western Regions for decades without falling is a clear proof.

Therefore, in this critical period of erecting the backbone, Li Yuanji hopes to make the backbone of Datang harder and more indestructible, rather than worse than in history.

Li Xiaogong said eagerly: "But this is an excellent opportunity for me, Datang!"

An opportunity to defeat the mighty Turkic enemy at very little cost.

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "I know this is an opportunity, but I will not exchange the recovered homeland."

Li Xiaogong was stunned and said: "You mean, let Suni lose them in exchange for one condition?"

When Li Shentong heard this, he frowned and said, "They will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a large amount of armor, as well as a large amount of food and grass, which will easily feed tigers."

For such things as soldiers, food and grass, Datang can support all the friends and neighbors who ask Datang for help.

This has nothing to do with the spine, it is purely because Datang sees that the neighbors who are not good with Datang, and those who are friendly to Datang among the neighbors are bullied and give them support.

If they are still being bullied with the support of Datang, then Datang doesn't mind sending a large army to help them, and by the way, turn them into noble Tang people, and turn their homeland into a noble kingdom of heaven and earth. earth.

In this way, people will only think that those mud legs took advantage of Datang and received charity from Datang, not that Datang's spine is bent.

"Let them ask for whatever they want, whether to give it or not, how much to give, and whether they need to pay a certain price is up to us."

Li Yuanji said indifferently.

Military assistance is definitely free, but there are too many people who need military assistance, how to distinguish who is given and who is not?
Definitely tell by friendliness.

So how do you get this level of friendliness?
Then it depends on whether the recipient is on the road.

There are many pies in the sky. Whether you can eat the pie depends on whether you can get what the pie thrower wants.

Li Shentong was puzzled, and still frowned and said, "They ask us for a lot of benefits. If we can't satisfy them, they may not be willing to listen to us."

Li Xiaogong realized a trace of the essence, and said tentatively: "If they are disobedient, then we will give them the benefits that should be given to their opponents?"

Li Yuanji smiled knowingly: "You can also create opponents for them."

Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Jie Li, stepping on the strength of Ye Hu, even suddenly?"

Li Yuanji laughed hehehe.

Li Xiaogong is worthy of being the one who can help Datang regain the south of the river. Although he has gained a lot of Li Jing's glory, he also has goods in his stomach. He can understand everything about the war.

The three of them chose to negotiate with Datang, which is not a sign of weakness.

If they are really capable and have a strong army, why are they still negotiating with Datang? Just go to war with Datang and take back the homeland recovered by Datang?
But they didn't.

That means that their strength is very limited, and after dealing with Xieli, they are already stretched.

In this case, whether Datang supports their opponent Xieli or creates a new opponent for them, it will be a big blow to them.

So they can use the matter of fighting with Jieli to play rogue with Datang, and Datang can also use the matter of supporting Jieli, supporting the strength of the strength, and supporting Tudiji to force them to bow their heads to Datang and let Datang give them Put on a nose ring and lead them by the nose.
