Man Tanghong

Chapter 820 The relationship between the enemy and us is not constant

After giving Li Daoli full authority over the garrison in Silla, and sending Li Daoli and his party to set off, Suni also heard from him.

Suni broke his promise to accept Datang's military aid, and was willing to pay a huge price for these military aids, but he still wanted to return to the land that Datang recovered from Liang State.

This brought the negotiations to a stalemate again, and Su Dingfang immediately reported the matter to let the court make up his mind.

This matter has been known to everyone along with Kinderman's request to garrison troops, so Li Yuanji did not discuss this matter on a small scale this time, but summoned important officials in civil and military affairs to discuss this matter together .

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Yuanji is at the top.

Wen and Wu, headed by Li Gang and Li Shentong, were seated on both sides.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and silence, Li Yuanji slowly said: "I believe that all my lovers already know about the fact that I, Tang, and Suni lost the negotiation.

It was also for the sake of confidentiality that I hid it from all my lovers before.

Now that this incident has been known by the Queen of Silla, Kinderman, there is no need to hide it from everyone.

The reason why I called you here today is because the negotiations between Datang and Suni Shi have reached an impasse. "

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military soldiers began to whisper to each other.

Those who knew the inside story began to speculate on the specific reasons why the negotiations between Datang and Suni had come to an impasse.

Those who didn't know the inside story began to ask colleagues if they knew about it, and expressed their feelings about it to colleagues.

After buzzing for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Shuda hesitantly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what kind of deadlock His Highness is talking about?"

Li Yuanji roughly talked about the specific content of the negotiation, and then said without any concealment: "At present, Suni Shi has agreed to accept my Datang's funding, and is willing to pay the price for it. After my Datang's support, I will fight Xieli according to my Datang's wishes.

But he still sticks to his own conditions, and if he wants to help Master Liang, he has to return to the territory we recovered from Liang Guo.

I discussed this matter with King Huai'an, King Hejian, and others, and our attitude is very clear, that is, even if I, Datang, give up funding for Suni Shi, and give up Suni Shi and Jieli's fight, both of us will suffer. Sitting on the advantage of fishing for profit will never give up half an inch of territory. "

Chen Shuda was shocked when he heard this.

The other civil and military officers also subconsciously restrained their expressions of talking and laughing, straightened their backs solemnly, and looked towards the hall.

After hesitating for a while, Li Gang said in a deep voice: "May I think that your Highness's words mean that I will not give up half an inch of territory to anyone after the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation and said: "That's right! No matter how we face anyone, our Great Tang will never give up an inch of land. On this point, there is no negotiation. If anyone dares to covet my Great Tang's territory, we will do everything possible." , but also with him forever."

This is the backbone he wants, and it is also the backbone he hopes Datang must have.

Now is the time to recast the spine, and he hopes to integrate this spine into the body of everyone in Datang.

Li Gang was silent when he heard this, but his expression became more solemn.

The other civil and military expressions also became more solemn, with a hint of solemnity.

Li Shentong got up first and said: "My minister Li Shentong respectfully obeys the king's order!"

"My minister Li Xiaogong..."

"Minister Li Gang..."

"Minister Pei Ju..."

"..."

One after another, civil and military soldiers stood up, loudly declaring that they would obey the king's order.

It's like wanting to engrave the words "not giving up an inch of land" into the flesh and blood, into the cracks in the bones, and into the soul.

Looking at the dignified and solemn appearance of civil and military personnel in the hall, Li Yuanji suddenly had the illusion that he had already formed the backbone of Tang Dynasty, but this illusion was fleeting in his mind.

He knew very well that Li Shentong, Li Gang and others just remembered the backbone he had built, and there was still a long way to go before this backbone could take root in the hearts of Li Shentong, Li Gang and others, as well as in the hearts of everyone in Datang. Way to go.

Casting a spine is not just a matter of saying a few exciting words and inciting people's hearts.

It requires you to take certain actions, put it into practice, and let people feel its existence, so that it can really take root in the hearts of everyone in Datang.

So you have to not only talk, but also do it. Words and deeds are consistent in order to be convincing.

"Okay, let's all sit down. Tell me, how did I, Da Tang, let Suni listen to my orders when I refused Suni's conditions?"

Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling Li Shentong, Li Gang and other civil and military personnel to sit down.

Li Shentong, Li Gang and others cupped their hands, sat down slowly, and began to think about countermeasures.

The difficulty of this matter lies in how to let Sunishi go shopping with Jieli according to Datang's intention even though he refuses Sunishi.

Sun Nishi's attitude was very firm, he insisted on helping Liang Shidu get back from Datang the land that Datang recovered from Liang State, otherwise he would not negotiate with Datang.

Datang wanted to use Suni to lose, but he didn't want to cede the land recovered from Liang Guo to Liang Shidu. As a result, both sides fell into a stalemate and entered a stalemate.

To break the deadlock, one must find a way to make Suni lose his composure, and make Suni give up helping Liang Shidu to claim the land that Datang recovered from Liang Guo.

In this way, negotiations can continue.

As for Datang taking a step back, surrendering to Suni, and ceding the land to Liang Shidu, that is impossible, so there is no need to consider whether Datang still has room for negotiation.

"Do you want to support other people and put pressure on Sunishi? My Tang Dynasty does not necessarily have to support Sunishi, we can also support Xieli. Xieli hates Suni so much now that he can't wait to kill him." Hurry up, even without our help, he will fight Suni bloody to the end.

If he got our support, he would attack Sunny more crazily.

In this way, the goal of weakening the Turks can also be achieved. "

After a long silence among the civil and military personnel, Qu Tutong gave his own suggestion.

Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Wang Gui and others all felt that what Qu Tutong said was reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.

Since Suni doesn't know good from bad, he should support Jieli.

Although Xieli is very greedy and will not be controlled by Datang, Jieli and Sunis are now in a fight to the death, there is almost no room for maneuver, and Datang does not have to worry about Jieli taking Datang's benefits. , will give up targeting Suni, and instead target Datang.

As long as Datang can continue to support Xieli and Suni in losing their fight, that will also achieve the purpose of weakening Turks.

In the same way, when Jieli and Suni lost their battles and lost both sides, they could sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Therefore, whether you support Sunishu or Xieli, it is the same for Datang, and you can achieve Datang's strategic goals. You don't have to support Sunishu, let alone be "blackmailed" by Sunishu.

When Li Gang and the others nodded in agreement with Qu Tu's call, he suddenly said: "Qu Tugong's idea is very good, but after Jieli receives my Datang's support, he may not follow my Datang's thoughts. Sunny lost the fight."

Qu Tutong was stunned and did not speak.

Wang Gui looked at Li Jing, frowned, and helped Qu Tutong, Li Gang and others ask what was in his heart, "What do you mean by that?"

Without waiting for Li Jing to answer, Chen Shuda took the lead and said: "Jieli is already weaker than Suni, and he has Tuyuhun as an ally, and Yang Zhengdao and other Han officials to advise him. It will be stronger than Sunny.

When the time comes, Suni will fight for his life, so he may not continue to fight with Jieli.

Once he succumbed to Xieli, Xieli was unwilling to fight internally and reached a settlement with him.

Then my Datang is tantamount to losing my wife and losing my army. "

When Chen Shuda said this, many people's expressions were shocked.

Think about it carefully, but there is such a possibility.

Suni betrayed Jieli, isn't it just to survive?

Liang Shidu betrayed Xieli, and it was the same.

Right now Xieli is only slightly stronger than them, and has not yet reached the point of being invincible.

Once Jieli was much stronger than them, so strong that he was invincible.

Maybe they will give up continuing to fight with Xieli and join Xieli's command again.

Although Xieli is a bit selfish, he can definitely tell right from wrong.

When Suni Shi and Liang Shidu brought the Dahe clan to submit to him, there was a great chance that he would let go of the previous grievances and accept Suni Shi and Liang Shidu again.

It is even very likely that Suni Shi and Liang Shidu will be reused.

Because after these two people rebelled against the Turks, although they caused some harm to the Turks, they also won a big help for the Turks, that is, the Dahe clan, which is equivalent to a large tribe of the Turks.

With the addition of the Dahe clan and Tuyuhun as an ally, Jieli's strength will be restored to the point where it was when it went south to attack Xiaoguan and Yanzhou.

At that time, the Turks will have the capital to fight against the Tang Chamber.

Datang had to return to the situation of confronting the Turks again.

This is what Xieli would like to see, but not what Datang would like to see.

After listening to Chen Shuda's words, Qu Tutong nodded first and said, "Jiang Guogong's words are reasonable, I take it for granted."

Wang Gui frowned all of a sudden, looked at the other colleagues and said, "In this way, there is no solution to this matter."

Li Shentong said with a chuckle: "That's not true, there is actually nothing wrong with Qu Tugong's idea, it's just that the person who supports him is wrong."

Wang Gui was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Li Shentong suspiciously.

Others also looked at Li Shentong one after another, as if willing to hear more about him.

Li Shentong was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Li Yuanji with a smile.

Li Yuanji nodded, indicating that Li Shentong could speak freely.

In fact, they have discussed this issue before, and they have also discussed some countermeasures, including giving up negotiations with Suni, and supporting other people to put pressure on Suni.

It's just that he was not in a hurry to express this idea, and wanted to see what other good ideas the ministers had.

Now that Li Shentong took the initiative to bring up this idea, and the others seemed very interested, there was no need to hide it anymore.
