Man Tanghong

Chapter 956

Li Shimin had a better impression of Li Shiji than Li Jing, so after hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you wait for Li Jing to return to the grassland of Shi Huoba's department and ask for credit for Li Shiji before dealing with Li Shiji?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "You want Li Shiji to pay off with merit?"

Li Shimin said lightly: "That's better than just punishing and not rewarding now."

Li Yuanji continued to laugh and said: "I just want Li Shiji to remember that he must obey my words, there is no room for negotiation, and he is not allowed to have any ideas of his own."

Li Shimin twitched his lips when he heard this, and fell silent instantly.

Since Li Yuanji wanted to teach Li Shiji a lesson, he couldn't intervene.

"Since you have no objections, I'll send someone to pass on the message."

As he said that, Li Yuanji didn't wait for Li Shimin's response, so he directly ordered Qu Tushou to take someone to deliver a message to Li Shiji.

After Qu Tushou left, Li Yuanji went on to say: "At present, the Murong Shun tribe of the two tribes of Tuyuhun has decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty after receiving the letter of surrender from our Tang Dynasty, and the tribe of Dayan Mangjiebo There was no response. According to Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining, Dayan Mangjiebo is more inclined to fall to the Western Turks, or Tubo on the mountains.

I have already ordered An Xiuren to redouble his troops and prepare to attack Tuyuhun at any time to teach Dayan Mangjiebo a lesson. "

Both Murong Shun and Dayan Mangjiebo were descendants of the former Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun, known as Bu Sabo Khan, and Murong Shun was the eldest son.

And they are all descendants of Murong Tuyuhun, the leader of the Xianbei tribe in the past.

After Fu Yun's death, Murong Shun and Dayan Mang Jiebo refused to obey each other, and they each went their own way, splitting Tuyuhun one by one, so now Tuyuhun is divided into East Tuyuhun and West Tuyuhun.

Among them, the East Tuyuhun was led by Murong Shun, and the West Tuyuhun was led by Dayan Mangjiebo.

Historically, Murong Shun of East Tuyuhun later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but was killed by his subordinates not long after he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Later, his son Nuojiebo succeeded to the throne, was canonized by Li Shimin as the king of Heyuan County, and married a clan daughter Princess Honghua was his wife, and her two sons married the Lords of Jincheng County and Jinming County of Datang respectively. Called back muddy.

So it is no surprise that Murong Shun will fall to Datang. In the process of fighting for power with his younger brother, he did not occupy a dominant position, nor did he occupy the vast majority of Tuyuhun's power, so he is destined to be suppressed by his younger brother beat.

And when the younger brother is close to the Eastern and Western Turks, close to Tubo, and actively establishes diplomatic relations with these three forces, the only one he can rely on and rely on is Datang.

It's just his younger brother, who is obviously a little drifting.

Datang has now beaten his father, Turkic, on the ground. He still can't see the situation clearly, and instead of submitting to Datang, he still wants to jump back and forth between Western Turkic and Tubo, to be a cow and horse for Western Turkic and Tubo, and follow him. If Datang is against you, then you should be taught a lesson.

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and said: "With Liangzhou's military strength, can Dayan Mang Jiebo be taken down? As far as I know, Dayan Mang Jiebo is ambitious and good at making friends with various forces. He made good friends with Jieli of Turkic, and also had an inseparable relationship with Tong Yehu of Western Turkic, and Nangri Songtsan of Tubo.

Although Jieli has been defeated by us now, it is difficult to pose a threat to us, let alone go to rescue Tuyuhun, but the Western Turks and the already strong Tubo are still strong. If they suddenly intervene in our conquest of Dayanmangjiebo If there is a war, then we are very likely to fail. "

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I have thought about what you said, but I think whether it is Tong Yehu or Nangri Songzan, they are all people who do not see rabbits and do not scatter eagles. Surrender to them and become their subordinate, otherwise they will not send troops to help."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then questioned, "How can you see that?"

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Dayan Mangjiebo is stronger than Murong Shun, right?"

Li Shimin nodded without hesitation.

Although Murong Shun is the eldest son of Murong Fuyun, his prestige in the hearts of Tuyuhun people is far less than that of Dayan Mangjiebo.

It is precisely because of this that after Murong Fuyun's death, only a small number of Tuyuhun tribes supported him, and the vast majority of Tuyuhun tribes supported Dayan Mangjiebo.

It was also because he was unwilling to kneel at his younger brother's feet that he split Tuyuhun in the end.

If his strength is evenly matched to Dayan Mangjiebo's, or even stronger than Dayan Mangjiebo's, then why is he here?
He can definitely find some excuses to win over his younger brother, or stabilize his younger brother, and then slowly erode his younger brother's influence and eradicate dissidents.

But he didn't.

That means that his strength is not enough to fight against his younger brother in a separate court, and he is not enough to fight for power and profit with his younger brother by means of hypocrisy and deception. The local government disputed with his younger brother about the ownership of Tuyuhun.

"so what?"

Li Shimin questioned.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Since Dayanmang Jiebo is stronger than Murong Shun, and he has good relations with Turkic, Western Turkic, and Tubo, if he can get the help of Turkic, Western Turkic, and Tubo, he will definitely be able to win Murong Shun, but Why is Murong Shun living so well now?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after a long time he said thoughtfully: "You mean that Dayanmang Jiebo said that he had good relations with Turks, Western Turks, and Tubo, but in fact he If you put your hot face on someone's ass, they don't care about him at all, let alone send troops to help him?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Yes."

He didn't know anything else, but he was very clear about two things. There was no unity within Tubo, and Nangri Songtsan was too busy with his own affairs, so how could he go to help Dayanmang?

It is estimated that he also wanted to let Dayanmangjiebo completely lead his troops to surrender to Tubo, and help him clean up and unify other Tubo tribes.

Although the Western Turks can spare their hands to assist Dayanmang, they also have enough troops to assist Dayanmang.

Who is Tong Yehu of the Kexi Turks?

Greedy people.

If this kind of person does not get enough benefits, it is impossible for you to ask him to send troops to help you.

And Ye Hu is an extremely greedy person, he will squeeze even his own clansmen, Dayan Mang Jiebo can't satisfy his appetite at all.

It is estimated that he is enjoying Dayan Mangjiebo's filial piety now, and he is cursing Dayan Mangjiebo in his heart as a bad brush.

After all, Dayan Mang Jiebo took the initiative to come up to give filial piety, and he would do nothing if he accepted it, and he couldn't do anything to him, how could he not accept it, and how could he not call him a bad guy in his heart.

Of course, there is no absolute thing between countries, between forces and forces.

If Dayan Mangjiebo was willing to give up everything when Tuyuhun was alive and dying, lead his troops to surrender to the Western Turks, and become Tong Yehu's dog and horse, Tong Yehu might still send troops to help him.

The reason why Li Yuanji was so sure that Tong Yehu would not help Dayan Mang Jiebo was not because Dayan Mang Jiebo couldn't give up everything, but because Tong Yehu was about to die.

When Tong Yehu died in history, there is no clear record, but there are corresponding event records.

That is, when the Turkic tribes such as Xue Yantuo and Huihe betrayed the Turks, Tong Yehu was already dead. It is also because of this that when Ashina Sheer led his troops to pursue Xueyantuo, Huihe and other tribes, he was able to defeat half of the Turks. The Western Turks became the Dub Khan of the Western Turks.

Although Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other tribes rebelled against the Turks earlier, they did not advance many years.

So using the time when they rebelled against the Turks as a node to calculate, Tong Yehu should have died in the past two years.

And it will most likely be this year.

Because after Datang established diplomatic relations with West Turkic, Tang Jian personally went to Western Turkic, met Tong Yehu, and had a certain understanding of Tong Yehu's physical condition.

The life of this person can be called Li Longji of the Western Regions. His life direction is almost exactly the same as Li Longji. He was so wise in the first half of his life. He unified the Western Regions at a very fast speed, established the foundation of the Western Turks, and will Western Turks twisted into one piece.

In the second half of my life, I am addicted to the achievements of the first half of my life, and I start to enjoy all kinds of wealth and wealth, and I also start to do all kinds of perverse actions.

This also makes the history of Western Turks only brilliant for a moment, and soon fell apart.

Now he has gone against the grain and has been addicted to sex for many years. Not only has he caused anger and grievances within the West Turks, but his own body has also been hollowed out.

According to Tang Jian after he came back, his complexion had begun to turn yellow, and he was like a rotten tree. He could no longer gallop on horseback, and he had to be carried in and out.

For a prairie man, the inability to gallop on horseback proves that he is about to die.

After all, prairie people are inseparable from horses all their lives. Some people started to make a living on horseback when they were babies.

So when the prairie people can't control the horse, that's when they die.

And Tong Yehu was about to die, so how could he send a large army to help Dayanmang make waves?

He is old and has done many stupid things, but it doesn't mean that he has changed from the former hero to a complete idiot.

Stupid doesn't mean stupid.

Many foolish kings in history possessed extremely high wisdom.

For example, in Jiajing, people did not go to court for several decades, but devoted themselves to making alchemy and cultivating immortals, and they still played around with the court and the opposition.

It can be seen from this that the faint king is just faint, not stupid.

Since Tong Yehu was not stupid, how could he send an army out to help Dayanmang when he was about to die?

He is not afraid that the people he sends out will cause trouble outside the territory and kill the people in the territory?
Isn't he afraid that people in the region will covet his throne after he transfers the soldiers and horses out, or even launch a coup?
He must be afraid.

So he said that he would never send out the army around him when he was dying.

He must leave a huge army to guard him, so that he will feel safe.
