Man Tanghong

After all, the territory of the Turks before was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty five years after Wude. It may take a long time just to hurry, let alone fight with those most of them.

Therefore, it is difficult for Datang to win the entire territory of Turks in a very short period of time.

And a few months was enough for Jieli to contact Yugu and Ashinasheer, gather the soldiers and horses in their hands together, and fight Datang again.

Although Datang is now not afraid of Jieli leading 20 troops to make a comeback, don't forget that in the eastern part of Turkic, there is still a lost tribe of Suni.

If Suni's lost successor Ashnabil chooses a completely different way of doing things from his father and starts to cooperate with Xieli and help Xieli, then Datang will face a two-pronged attack.

In that case, although Datang will not be defeated, it may be difficult to conquer all Turkic places.

Maybe there will be a scene where you don't do your best.

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "This minister knows, so I hope that His Highness can recruit Ashina Simo as soon as possible, let him submit to my Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, and gather many tribes in the north of Yinshan Mountain, Monan, and Mobei.

In this way, even if my Tang Dynasty does not send troops, it can take over the entire Turkic territory in a very short period of time.

In this way, even if Xieli has ups and downs, the first one to deal with is not us, but Ashina Simo.

With Ashina Simo helping us to contain Xieli, it will be much easier for us to deal with Xieli or Suni's missing department. "

In short, it is to let Ashina Simo stand up and fight with Xieli who may be ups and downs again, contain Xieli, and buy some time for Datang, so that Datang can complete all the strategies calmly.

As for whether Ashina Simo will die when he meets Xieli after he stands up, that is not in Li Jing's consideration, and Li Jing will not consider it either.

For a commander-in-chief, it is perfectly normal for a dead fellow to not die as a poor fellow.

If that commander cares about the life and death of fellow daoists, but doesn't care about his own life, then he is not a qualified commander.

Li Yuanji generally agrees with Li Jing's statement, but there is one problem, that is, he does not want to give up Ashina Simo.

This is a rare person who can be loyal to Datang and help Datang rule the Turks. If this person is gone, he will not be found.

It is indispensable and there is no substitute for it.

At least not so far.

From a long-term perspective, this person must be preserved.

At least you can't give up until you can't find a substitute.

So Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "I want to protect Ashina Simo. He is the key to my rule of Turks after the Tang Dynasty and the conquest of Western Turks."

Li Jing was stunned and said: "Your Highness thinks that he is not recognized by Ashin's department, and he is close to my Tang Dynasty, so he can become my Tang's horse herdsman in Turkic?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I also want him to be the leader of my Tang Dynasty in conquering the Western Turks, and he will lead the Turks to help us be the vanguard."

Li Jing nodded thoughtfully, "That's the guarantee..."

Li Jing is not the kind of person who only understands the military and does not understand politics. In this era where the military and the government are not separated, everyone who understands the military understands politics.

He doesn't look like a savage or a naive guy like in the movies and TV dramas.

So Li Jing can understand why Ashina Simo should be protected.

After Li Jing nodded in approval of Li Yuanji's words, he said hesitantly: "Then we have to send someone back to help us recover the other tribes north of Yinshan Mountain, Monan, and Mobei.

But except Ashina Simo, no one can have such prestige. "

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I didn't say not to let Ashina Simo do this, but we don't need to let Ashina Simo face Jieli alone. I heard that Xue Yantuo's barbarian chief sent someone contacted you?"

Li Jing nodded and said, "You want Yi Nan to help Ashina Simo restrain Xieli?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Yi Nan and Jie Li have become mortal enemies, Jie Li can't forgive Yi Nan, and it is impossible for Yi Nan to join Jie Li, if Yi Nan is willing to bring Xue Yantuo and Huihe soldiers to help Ashina Simo If so, it can also form a two-sided attack.

At that time, Xieli will have no time to take care of us. "

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "That's okay, I'm afraid that Yi Nan won't listen to us, or take the opportunity to ask us for some conditions."

Li Yuanji said with a chuckle: "The left and right are just taking the opportunity to ask for some weapons, just give them to him. When Jieli is completely destroyed and our troops enter the Western Regions, he will have to return twice as much as we gave him. "

Of course, Yi Nan may not survive the time when the Tang Dynasty conquered the Western Regions.

Ashina Sherna is his nemesis.

Once Jieli switches the positions of Ashnasheer and Yugu, and let Ashinasheer go to conquer him, there is a high chance that he will be killed by Ashinasheer.

After all, that's how it's written in history.

After Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other tribes betrayed the Turks, Jieli first sent Yugu to conquer, but the result failed.

Then he was replaced by Ashinasheer, who quickly conquered Xueyantuo and Huihe and other tribes, and took advantage of the civil strife in Western Turks to establish his own struggle for power in Western Turks .

Therefore, it is easy for a barbarian to beat a barbarian, and it is also easy for Ashina to beat a barbarian.

Although the ending between them has been clearly written in history, the specific direction they will go depends on how Xieli will arrange it.

If Jieli does not let Ashnasheer fight Yi Nan, but lets Ashinasheer fight Ashina Simo, then even if Ashinasheer has the strength to wipe Yinan on the ground , I can't help Yi Nan.

The history between them is also very likely to be rewritten.

However, regardless of whether Yi Nan died or not, it would not affect Datang's strategy and layout.

"Since His Highness already has an idea in mind, then I will make arrangements according to His Highness's idea."

Li Jing clasped his fists immediately and said.

Li Yuanji indicated that Li Jing could make such an arrangement, but he was not in a hurry to let Li Jing go, but asked, "Do you think it is appropriate for my Tang Dynasty to conquer Tuyuhun at this time?"

The battlefield that Datang currently has is not only the one where Datang conquered the Turks, but also the two places where Datang conquered the Kingdom of Liang and the Great Tang conquered the Dahe clan.

It can be said to be a war on three fronts.

If it weren't for the great Tang generals who could spend so much, I'm afraid he would have collapsed long ago.

Now if there is another battlefield where the Tang Dynasty conquers Tuyuhun, it will be a four-front battle.

I haven't heard of any country in history that has played like this.

The risk of playing this way is also very high, so Li Yuanji wanted to listen to Li Jing's advice.

The corner of Li Jing's mouth twitched slightly and said, "I don't know who His Highness is planning to put in command?"

Li Yuanji didn't make a fool of himself either, and said bluntly: "At the end of the month, my father will probably arrive in Longyou, along with Qu Tutong and other veterans, as well as Li Gaoqian and other Yuanmou.

However, the battle should be led by Fang Xuanling, An Xiuren and others. "

The corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched even more.

This is said to let Fang Xuanling and An Xiuren take the lead, but with Li Yuan around, there is no chance for Fang Xuanling and An Xiuren to lead the battle.

If Li Yuan doesn't take over all the battles and manages behind the scenes, he will be sorry for his status as the founding emperor.

It would be strange if Qu Tutong and others, Li Gaoqian and others could resist the itch.

So it is said that Fang Xuanling and An Xiuren are in the lead, but in fact they are two servants.

They only need to serve a group of bigwigs comfortably. As for the war, they probably don't even have room to intervene.

"If that's the case, it's doable."

After Li Jing's mouth twitched for a while, he spoke with difficulty.

The configuration of a small battlefield in Tuyuhun has already surpassed the configuration of the main battlefield of Turkic, so what else can he say.

There is only one Prince Jian Guo and one Commander-in-Chief.

On the other side, the leader is the emperor, the one who participates in the military affairs is the Duke of the State, and the one who will end up fighting is either the Duke of the State or the Duke of the County. It is estimated that the county prince and below the county prince can only stay in the tent of the Chinese army to serve others.

This kind of configuration is not to mention fighting a small Tuyuhun, even if it is fighting Turkic, it is all looking down on Turkic.

So the battlefield over there can no longer be regarded as a serious battle. It can only be said that a group of big bosses have nothing to do, and they picked a hapless guy and started playing.

If one person dies over there, it may cause shocks in the Tang dynasty, so we have to pay attention.

"I just don't know if Fang Xuanling and An Xiuren can take care of the safety of saints and princes?"

After being silent for a moment, Li Jing asked hesitantly.

If Li Yuan had joined the battle against Tuyuhun, then all the battles of the Tang Dynasty would have been in vain.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, the princes will not allow my father to go to the battlefield. As for the princes themselves, they will do what they can."

If he really died, it was just seeking benevolence.

It is better to die on the battlefield, in front of the emperor, than to die on the sick bed.

This is the same for everyone on the battlefield.

The horse leather shroud is the ultimate pursuit, and it is a very sad thing to die on the sick bed.

If you can cut off the enemy's head before you die, that is definitely the pride of your life.

Li Jing is also aware of the pursuit of warriors, and he himself has similar pursuits, so he didn't say any more, just nodded and said: "I understand..."

Li Yuanji nodded with a smile, indicating that Li Jing could go down to work.

After Li Jing got out of the Chinese military account, he quickly issued various transfer orders, and began to arrange according to everything discussed in the Chinese military account.

At the end of August, Ashina Simo, who had formally negotiated with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, announced in Mobei that he had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he persuaded other tribes in Mobei, some tribes in Monan, and the Azhang tribe to surrender together. Datang.

As soon as this incident happened, there was an uproar inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, inside and outside the grassland.

At the same time, Xieli, who had disappeared for several months, appeared on the border of the Western Turks, declaring that Asina Simo was a traitor of the Turks and the biggest sinner of the Turks, and blamed Ashina Simo for the defeat of the Turks. On the head of Nasimo, he called on all Turks to unite and conquer Ashinasimo.

However, the responders got it.

Only Ashnasheer joined Xieli with the [-] soldiers and horses he took away from Suni's troops not long after Xieli announced his call. Apart from that, no one responded to Xieli's call.

It can be seen that Xieli has lost all support in Turkic.

In order to regain the hearts of the people, Jieli actually gave up pursuing Yi Nan and Huang Tou, but concentrated all his troops to kill Ashina Simo.

"This... this... isn't this completely letting go of your back and letting Yi Nan and Huang Tou attack?"

In the middle of the month, Li Junxian, who rushed to the camp of the Chinese army to report the military situation, after hearing a series of changes in Turkic, was stunned by Xieli's operation, and said with eyes widened in astonishment.

Li Jing, who was sitting on the right side of the large tent of the Chinese army, sighed sincerely, "Turk is really about to perish now..."

Xieli has gone crazy to the point of not caring about it, so who will perish if the Turks are not dead?
It is right for Xieli to want to regain people's hearts, but he should not go to this extreme.

The most important thing for Xieli to do now is to pass on the position of Great Khan to his son, and then, represented by his son, to unite all the forces that can be united, and first to regain a firm foothold in Turkic.

Instead of having some soldiers and horses, rushing to Ashina Simo to fight desperately, ignoring Datang next to him, and Xue Yantuo and Huihe behind him.

You know, Datang was determined to destroy the Turks, and Xue Yantuo's great chief, Yi Nan, and Jie Li also had revenge for killing their father.

The two forces may attack at any time and strangle Xieli.

Li Jing turned his head and asked Li Shiji beside him, "Where are our soldiers and horses?"

Li Shiji said with a smile: "Xie Shufang and Hou Junji have already touched the border of the Azhang tribe, and the Chinese army will soon reach the foot of Yinshan Mountain."

Li Jing laughed and said: "That means we can cooperate with Ashina Simo anytime and anywhere, oh, no, it's Xinxing County King, Yi Nan, and Huang Tou who strangled Xieli."

Li Yuanji sat at the head, and said with a smile: "The news from Suni's lost department also came back that Ashnabil is willing to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, but he wants to keep his existing troops and territory. .”

Li Shiji laughed loudly and said: "Then talk to him first, wait until we have completely taken down Jieli, then we can say whether we should promise him or not."

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction and said: "It should be so!"

It is impossible to agree. After all, the Tang Dynasty did not intend to hand over the territory of the Turks to the Turkic people this time. Therefore, after the conquest of Xieli, the Tang Dynasty is destined to go back and conquer Ashinabi. Le.

However, now that Ashinabile has voluntarily subdued, and all of Datang's forces are in the territory controlled by Xieli, Datang is also worried that Ashinabile will fall to Xieli, which will become a trouble for Datang.

So Datang can talk to him first, and then turn his face when the talk is almost over.

"Phew...it seems to be the Turks who died in the sky."

Li Shimin, who had been sitting on the left without speaking, suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said with emotion.

Li Jing and Li Shiji nodded frequently in agreement.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes.

What he hates the most is that the ancients talked about everything in terms of heaven, and always felt that everything was predetermined by heaven.

If everything is determined by the sky, what is there for a person to work hard, what to fight for, just lie down and wait for the sky to arrange.
