Man Tanghong

Chapter 821
Li Shentong was instructed, and began to talk to Li Gang and others about the previously discussed countermeasures.

"We can also support the Tudiji Ministry, the Tali Ministry, Goguryeo and Baekje. These forces are all in the east of the Sunis, and they can attack Sunis anytime and anywhere.

If Su Nishi didn't want to be attacked by two sides, he could only deal with them first, and then fight Xieli.

But if Suni wanted to solve them, he had to ask us first.

As long as we support them all the time, Sunis will never try to destroy them. "

Li Shentong was talking happily, and at the end of the talk, the joy on his face was almost irresistible. It seemed that Datang had already manipulated Suni in this way, forcing Suni to bow down to Datang.

After hearing his words, all civil and military personnel fell silent, and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

After a few breaths, Chen Shuda took the lead and said: "If we put pressure on Suni by stepping on the strength department and the Moheren department of Tudiji, Suni will not be able to bear the heavy pressure, and he will return to Jie Li's subordinates.

In this way, we are still doing useless work. "

Li Gang nodded his head and said, "That's right, we are still prone to raising tigers, and turning Ye Hu and Tudi Ji, who are on the strength of the strength, into vicious tigers like Luo Yi."

Although Luo Yi has become a taboo, there is nothing that cannot be discussed when analyzing state affairs.

Especially for a senior man like Li Gang, it is not a problem to talk about Li's ancestors.

Of course, it is taboo to call some of Li's ancestors by their first names.

Otherwise, it will be criticized.

For example, if you call Li Hu by his name, you will be impeached by Yushitai immediately. Even if he is the prime minister, the people in Yushitai will not let him go.

Even if he yelled the word tiger, he might be attacked by them.

On this point, not only him, but everyone in Tang Dynasty is the same.

It is forbidden to talk about tigers, and it is forbidden to write about tigers.

So the tiger did not become a big worm until it was in the Tang Dynasty.

Before Tang Dynasty, or after Tang Dynasty, it was fine to call a tiger a tiger.

Calling a tiger a tiger in Datang is a serious crime.

Names such as Tang Bohu and Pei Qinhu were changed every minute in the Tang Dynasty, and they were assigned to the frontier.

For example, Han Qinhu, the fierce general of the former Sui Dynasty, was remembered as Han Qinbao or Han Zitong in the Tang Dynasty.

People in later generations always say that their original name was Han Qinbao, but it was later changed to Han Qinhu.

Actually otherwise, his original name was Han Qinhu, and Han Qinbao was changed later.

The reason why Datang banned tigers was because Li Yuan's father's father, that is, Li Yuan's grandfather, was named Li Hu.

For example, Zan and Yuan are also prohibited by the Tang Dynasty. When saying these two characters, or when using these two characters, they must be replaced by other characters.

In the future, with more and more emperors in the Tang Dynasty, there will be more and more banned characters. Even if it is a commonly used character that is difficult to ban, there will be a shortage of pens when writing.

This can be regarded as a big drawback of the feudal dynasty.

The names of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty used various traditional characters to avoid this kind of disadvantage from affecting the normal life of the people.

So living in ancient times was not easy. If you don't know the various taboos, you will be assigned every minute, and you will be brained every minute.

If you want to speak freely and ignore most taboos, you must at least live to Li Gang's age.

At this age, there are no taboos.

If a taboo is violated, those in power can also say with a smile, Renrui can point to the ancestors, or my name, and I can be contaminated with some blessings and so on.

As soon as Li Gang's words fell, Li Shentong said with a smile: "Mr. Li is too worried. Even if the Sudiji's Moheren tribe and the Talili tribe can pose a threat to Suni's lost tribe, the threat is not as great as that of Xieli. However, Suni has no room for maneuver, and it is impossible to put all his eggs in one basket and join Xieli again.

This is also one of the reasons why I said that I support the Ministry of People of Mohe and the Ministry of Solidarity. "

Compared with the half of the Turks ruled by Jieli now, and the half of the Turks ruled by Suni, the Mohe tribe ruled by Tudiji and the Tali tribe stationed on the edge of Tudiji are really too big. small.

The combined strength of the two parts is not even comparable to the Dahe clan, let alone the Liang Kingdom and the Turks that were divided into two.

Therefore, even if the Mohe people's department and the stepping force department went to find trouble with Suni's department and put some pressure on Suni, it would not force Suni to lose and go to Jieli.

Suni only needs to ask Liang Shidu or Dahe Duoluo to dispatch some soldiers and horses, which is enough to deal with the Mohe people and the stepping forces.

When Datang supported the Moheren Department and stepped up the strength department to put pressure on Suni's Department, it was Datang who could really put pressure on Suni's Department.

With Datang as a colossus behind him, Suni would have to worry about whether Datang would make a move if he lost his mind to wipe out the Mohe people and step-up forces in one fell swoop.

If you don't clear up the Mohe people department and step up the strength department, you will be constantly harassed by these two departments, constantly looking for trouble, and will be tired of coping.

Therefore, when Suni saw that Datang supported the Moheren Department and strengthened the strength department, he would see Datang's thoughts and intentions, and would come to the negotiating table with Datang again.

Datang will also take the initiative because of this, forcing Suni Shi to give up helping Liang Shidu recover the land of Liang State that Datang has recovered.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it will eventually achieve the goal that Datang wants.

Li Shentong continued: "As for Mr. Li's worry about raising tigers, he is too worried. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty who are stationed in Hebei Road. If they dare to have a different heart, they can be turned into ashes in an instant.

The army led by Su Dingfang was also beside them, and within a few days they would be able to rush to the place where their tribe was entrenched, and together with the army from Hebei Road, wipe them out.

So don't say they turned into tigers, even if they turned into kunpeng, my Tang Dynasty can easily kill them under the horse. "

Hearing this, Li Gang was still a little worried.

But Qu Tutong, Li Jing, Li Shiji, Qin Qiong and others have been convinced by these words.

Indeed, with the size of the Mohe people and the size of the strength department, after receiving the support of Datang, even if the strength is doubled, it is still no match for the Hebei Road Garrison, let alone the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Su Dingfang. .

Therefore, Datang does not need to worry about turning the Mohe people and the steadfast forces into disasters.

Because even if they become troubles, they are not enough for Datang to torment.

They couldn't even handle the Tang soldiers and horses beside them, not to mention that in other places, in Chang'an City, the Tang Dynasty still had several times more heavy troops to mobilize, and there were countless other generals far stronger than those guarding Hebei Road. Stronger generals can be driven.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Ministry of Mohe and the Ministry of Deployment are not a problem, once they become a problem, the vast majority of people here will wake up laughing when they fall asleep.

Li Jing will send them condolence letters thousands of miles away, telling them to stick to the meeting, not to be wiped out by the soldiers of Hebei Road, and wait for him to come.

Li Shiji would chop off a nephew's head and send it to them, and let them hold it first for fun.

Qin Qiong will drag his newly recovered body, summon the old Wagang troops, and rush to teach them how to rebel.

Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Qu Tutong will look at Youyan from afar and "look at the ocean and sigh".

This is not fantasy, nor is it a joke, it is very likely to become a fact.

Because the military officials of the Tang Dynasty are not unable to fight, nor do they want to fight, nor are they incapable of winning battles, but the court does not allow them to fight, and some of them are unable to experience every battle for various reasons. a battle.

So when they encountered someone who was provocative, had to call, and gave them the "disaster" of a mobile phone opportunity, they would really thank the other party's family with all their hearts and souls.

Whether they are the king of the county, the prince of the state, or the prince of the county, they will all gather together to fight for a place to lead the army.

As for the county magistrates, state lords, etc., let alone compete with them for a place in the expedition, even inserting a word is not enough.

This is the current Datang.

The military officials are not afraid of battle, they can't wait to run every day on the road to fight, and they can't wait to fight with all the non-Tang 'opponents' as far as they can see.

It is Datang's national strength and the number of Dingkou in Datang that restrict their ambitions to fight on the battlefield and shroud in horse leather.

So Li Gang's worries were in vain.

Now the military officials of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of a battle, let alone a strong opponent, they are afraid that there will be no battle, and they are afraid that the opponent is not strong enough.

Currently, as far as Datang can see, the only opponent that can be called an opponent is Turkic.

So all the military officials in the Tang Dynasty were staring at the Turkic battle.

As long as it is said to fight the Turks, anyone is willing to do it, and it doesn't matter if they don't give credit.

Because the battle against the Turks will not be won, there may be no battles to be fought in the future.

For a person who has been on the battlefield for half his life, what is the concept of not fighting?
That is to say, there is no pursuit, no soul.

It is better to be dead than alive.

Some people may say that warriors don't like fighting, and everyone yearns for peace, for putting swords and guns in storage, and for letting horses go to Nanshan and so on.

That's just the imagination of ordinary people and the hope of those in power.

Real warriors are all talented killers, and they are used to killing people. Is it possible for you to let them put down their butcher knives?
They have fought all their lives, and have regarded fighting as an instinct. Is it possible for you to let them give up fighting?

impossible!
Fighting to the last moment, the horse leather shroud is the lifelong goal of the warriors.

It is a kind of sorrow and a shame to them to die of old age wearing gorgeous clothes like rotten wood.

"The king of Huai'an is right, and Li Gong doesn't need to worry. If the Mohe people and the Tali people really become a disaster, I'll just go to Youyan again."

The person who spoke was Li Shiji, and when he said this, he was calm, confident, and with a hint of a smile.

He is not a low-ranking person and a solid team, but he is confident in his own abilities.

He firmly believed that even if the Moherenbu and the Tailibu had turned into Kunpeng, he could still rub the Moherenbu and the Tailibu on the ground.

With Li Shiji's words, even if Li Gang was still a little worried, he couldn't say anything.

Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qu Tutong, Li Jing and others did not refute Li Shiji's words, which means that Li Shiji's words are the common attitude of the military officials.

The military officials worked together as guarantees, and they would firmly press the Mohe people and the Tali forces to the ground. Li Shentong's idea was very feasible, and he had no way to continue to oppose it.

Li Yuanji saw that Li Shiji had persuaded Li Gang, and no one objected to Li Shentong's proposal, so he smiled and said: "It seems that the ministers have reached a consensus, so it's settled?"

Chen Shuda took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Leave this matter to the minister."

Li Gang and Pei Ju have gradually begun to give up power to young people, and Chen Shuda is particularly prominent when Xiao Yu is silent.

The reason for this change is also because Li Gang and Pei Ju are getting older, and now that the turmoil caused by the Xuanwumen and Tangtu battles has passed, if the two old guys steal the prime minister's position again, they will be said to be It is greedy for power.

He will also be scolded by the young people who are waiting for the top to be old and immortal.

So it's better to take the initiative to decentralize power and finally withdraw from the court with dignity. In this way, not only can you retain a virtuous name, but you can also gain the respect of the younger generations.

Of course, there may also be a little bit of the meaning of the emperor and the courtiers.

Li Yuan has completely retired, and has handed over everything except the title of emperor on his head. As Li Yuan's old ministers, their hearts must be towards Li Yuan. It is not only inappropriate to stay in the court, but also easy to be suspected .

It's better to quit the imperial court, bear all kinds of honors to shameful titles, and be an ancestor who doesn't care about world affairs.
