Man Tanghong

Chapter 940 Suni wants to remain neutral?

Li Shimin said with a fake smile: "I'm afraid that the aristocratic family will not only fail to get rid of Feng An, but will become Feng An's wealth."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "You still don't understand the aristocratic family."

Li Shimin's eyes stared straight when he heard this, I don't know enough about aristocratic families?
My Li family is one of the wealthy families, okay?
As a direct descendant of the Li family, I don't know about the wealthy family?

"Clarify to me, what does it mean that I don't know aristocratic families?"

Li Shimin asked angrily.

Li Yuanji smiled, without further explanation, and continued: "When you send the letter to Changsun Wuji, remember to remind Changsun Wuji that after Feng An invaded Linyi and occupied the city in the coastal area of ​​Linyi , Immediately lead people to build a dock and build a dock.

I hope that the wharf in Linyi can not only berth the ships of my Datang, but also help my Datang build ocean-going ships.

For the time being, there are two roads to enter the West, one is from the Western Regions to the West, and the other is from Linyi to the West.

As for the forces entering the West, they are tentatively designated as our Tang Dynasty, Turks, Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Tudiji, and Linyi. "

Li Shimin stared and said nothing, and after a long time he said angrily: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, Datang is up to you, and I don't count on what I say."

Li Yuanji nodded, and continued: "As for what you mentioned in the strategy, the alliance with Turkic, Western Turkic, Tubo, and Tuyuhun people to discuss the westward plan, I think the location is a bit inappropriate.

I want to change the location to Chang'an City.

Only by letting them see the prosperity of Chang'an, and portraying the West as a hundred times more prosperous than Chang'an, can they covet the West and enter the West with us in a down-to-earth manner. "

Li Shimin curled his lips and snorted coldly: "You are not afraid that after they see the prosperity of Chang'an, not only will they not covet the West, but they will covet Chang'an instead."

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then show your strength properly and let them know that Chang'an is not easy to eat, but the West is easier to eat.

I believe that after seeing the power of Datang, they will definitely give up the hard bone of Datang and go to the soft bone of the West instead. "

Li Shimin said disapprovingly: "What if he wants to face the difficulties?"

Li Yuanji gave Li Shimin a blank look.

There's no point in raising the bar!

"That's it. The location is set in Chang'an. After we conquered the Turks, we immediately launched an alliance with the Western Turks, Tubo, and Tuyuhun.

If they are interested and willing to enter the West with us, then we will start preparations immediately.

If they are not interested, then we will take the Turkic troops and plow through Lingzhou as the starting point during the westward march. "

Li Yuanji made a final decision.

There are Turkic people as pawns, and Datang's own strength is not impressive.

Whether it is Western Turks, Tubo, or Tuyuhun, they are not all enemies.

If they are knowledgeable, then cooperation will benefit both. If they are not, then beat them severely and then coerce them to go to the West.

Anyway, the Turkic people can't beat the Tang Dynasty, but the disasters of the Western Turks, Tubo, and Tuyuhun are still within their grasp.

"Then when are you planning to entrust the members of the clan outside the Central Plains?"

Li Shimin hummed and asked.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "According to your strategy, when we go west, it's time to divide the clan. However, I don't think that when we go west, it's time to divide the clan.

I will leave a piece of inherent land in Turkic and Tubo for you and big brother respectively, but how to seal it and who to keep will be discussed after we have established a firm foothold in the West. "

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and said in a blunt tone: "Can you keep Chengqian in Datang? I can go out with your other nephews, and even go to the west with you."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Second brother still hasn't given up."

Li Shimin argued: "It's not that I didn't give up. I'm just not sure what dangers I will encounter after entering the West, so I want to leave some incense in Datang."

Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled, "That's still not giving up. Does the second brother think that after you and I leave Datang, Chengqian will have a chance to compete with Chengde?
Did the second brother forget that we can come back anytime and anywhere.

Unless the second brother can kill me quickly after we leave Datang.

But I don't think the second brother can do this now.

So if the second brother is really good for Chengqian, don't give Chengqian such hope.

Otherwise, even if you really give up, Cheng Qian will find his own way of death. "

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and said unwillingly: "Then you should be entrusted to Turkic as Emperor Qianlong. No matter how you say it, Turkic is stronger than Tubo."

Tubo is located in a high and cold place, and many Tang people could not adapt to the local climate after they went there.

Therefore, Tubo is not easy to manage.

In comparison, although the Turks are not as rich as the Central Plains, their territory is vast and flat, so it is easier to manage.

So when making a choice between Turkic and Tubo, Li Shimin helped his son choose Turkic without hesitation.

Judging from the world map, Turkic is indeed a good place, whether it is east, south, west, or north, it can develop.

If Li Chengqian was sealed in the Turks, he would be able to open up a road to the north.

Then he might be able to establish a dynasty that would not lose to Datang.

After all, there is a soil in the north of the Turks that can establish a dynasty.

It's just that in history, the dynasties of the Central Plains have never opened up to the north.

"Okay! I will give the second brother this face and seal Chengqian in Turkic."

Li Yuanji readily agreed to Li Shimin's request.

After talking about this, Li Yuanji clicked on the scroll on the desk and said, "Let's read the rest as we walk?"

Li Shimin nodded and said nothing more.

In the next few days, Li Shimin hid in the room again and began to adjust his writing strategy.

Li Yuanji once again paid attention to the war against Turks.

After Li Junxian and Hou Junji opened the gap into the depths of the Turks from outside Gyeongju and Suizhou respectively, Li Jing pressed the front line to the north for nearly a hundred miles.

The army under Xie Li's command suffered repeated defeats before the battle. Xie Li was forced to concentrate his forces and defend Dingxiang and other places. He also sent people to lose contact with Suni, hoping that Suni would put aside his grudge for a while and join hands with him to resist the Tang Dynasty. .

So far, Sunny has not responded.

But Xie Shufang, who went to divide Suni's tribe and Jieli tribe, was attacked, and he was attacked from both sides.

The ones who attacked him were Yang Zhengdao from the Jieli Tribe and Ashinasheer from the Suni Lost Tribe.

Although Xie Shufang didn't have much loss, he failed to complete the military mission he needed to complete, and failed to divide the Suni and Jieli tribes.

Li Jing had to order Su Dingfang to lead his army to attack Liang Shidu in advance, put pressure on Liang Shidu, and let Liang Shidu ask Suni for help, so as to weaken Suni's strength.

At present, Su Dingfang has led the army to attack, and within seven days even the Keliang Division is in four cities. The Liang Division is in a hurry and asks Suni for help, but Suni still has no response.

The Liaodong battlefield is also similar.

After Pang Yu led the crowd to rush to help the Tali Department, the Tali Department barely gained a foothold in Yingzhou.

At the beginning, Tudiji was still holding on, but when he couldn't hold on anymore, he finally bowed his head to Datang.

Li Daliang, who was already ready to go in Jizhou, immediately led his army to the place where the Tudiji Department was located, and helped Tudiji stabilize the situation.

Now the Ministry of Strength and the Department of Tudiji are in a stalemate with the Dahe Alliance, and no one can do anything about it.

The leader of the Dahe Alliance, Dahe Duoluo, also asked for help from Suni's lost tribe, hoping to use the power of Sunis lost tribe to break the deadlock in Liaodong.

So far, Sunny has still not responded.

"Tell me, what exactly does this Sunny want to do?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked questions after reading the battle reports from various places.

The north has warmed up in May, and some places have even entered the scorching heat season, but Lingzhou is still cold in the morning and evening, and you must put on a thick coat to stay in the ventilated gazebo on all sides.

Li Yuanji clenched his sleeves filled with cold wind, murmured, shook his head and said: "I don't know, you said that he has already sensed that my Tang Dynasty will win, and wants to fall to my Datang, but he didn't move at all , He didn't even restrain Ashinasheer, who was under him, and let Ashinasheer, together with Yang Zhengdao, attack Xie Shufang.

You said that he wanted to join Xieli against our Great Tang, but he didn't say anything about Xieli's invitation, and he didn't send troops to help his former allies.

I don't believe that he doesn't understand the truth of having dead lips and cold teeth. "

Suni Shi is not Tuli's kind of stubborn and stupid, he doesn't understand any reason, only knows about recklessness.

He was able to stay dormant from Qimin Khan's reign to Xieli's supremacy, and he was able to separate half of the Turks from Xieli when Xieli made a mistake in commanding the Turks, which shows that he is a man who knows how to endure and is very smart people.

Faced with the current situation, it is impossible for him not to know that only by uniting with Xieli can he have a chance of surviving in Datang's hands, either Jieli must lose, and Datang must win.

But he didn't make a choice at all, neither joined forces with Xieli, nor showed favor to Datang, to fight for a way out for himself.

No one could guess what he was thinking.

"He doesn't want to stay neutral?!"

Li Shimin suddenly said in astonishment.

Li Yuanji also stared in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "No way?!"

In this situation, Suni remained neutral, so what's the difference between waiting to die? !

Sunny wouldn't think that Datang and Jieli would lose out in a fight, so he could reap the benefits, right? !

is it possible?

Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "He neither helps Jieli, nor does he show favor to my Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't even help his former allies Liang Shidu and Dahe Duluo. Doesn't he want to remain neutral?"
