Man Tanghong

Chapter 987 The Grassland Is Not That Grassland
Although the fate of Li Shimin now is completely different from that of Li Shimin in history, he is still the same person.

What Li Shimin liked in history, this Li Shimin will also like now.

Therefore, if Xue Wanche was under Li Shimin's tent, Li Shimin would still end up personally for him.

"Second brother, he can't eat grapes and says grapes are sour!"

Li Yuanji unceremoniously exposed Li Shimin's true face.

Li Shimin became angry from embarrassment, and stared viciously.

At this moment, Xue Wanche, who went down to wash, broke into the tent again. This time, he only had a loincloth on his body, and there was nothing left, and the skin on his body also turned red.

After he entered the tent, he knelt down on the ground again happily and said: "Return to Your Highness, I have already washed."

Seeing Xue Wanche like this, Li Shimin's face was full of contempt, and he raised his eyebrows at Li Yuanji with a half-smile.

Li Yuanji understood what Li Shimin meant by this, Li Shimin was asking him 'Look, this is your favorite general'.

Not only are there no rules, but they also disregard etiquette.

According to the etiquette system, any official meeting Wang Jia must be well-groomed and courteous.

Even if you meet on the battlefield, you can't be well-dressed, but you have to be courteous.

But Xue Wanche not only broke into the tent without a notification, but also didn't even put on any clothes.

This is already a huge faux pas.

But in Datang, faux pas will be punished.

However, Li Yuanji did not blame Xue Wanche for this. Xue Wanche came in wearing a loincloth, and his whole body was red. It was obvious that after he got out of the tent just now, he took off his clothes and washed himself with the snow outside the tent. Again, hurried back again.

His sincerity surpassed all etiquette.

"Don't be too polite, get up."

Li Yuanji raised his hand to Xue Wanche, and signaled to Chu Suiliang to take a cloak for Xue Wanche to put on, and when Xue Wanche grinned, he said angrily: "Don't be so foolish in the future, I will pamper you, No one else will."

Xue Wanche nodded with a smile, and said honestly: "I know..."

Li Yuanji nodded, motioned Xue Wanche to find a place to sit, and said after Xue Wanche sat down, "Now can you tell me why you came so late?"

Xue Wanche had already experienced the fate of lying once, so naturally he didn't dare to lie again, and immediately said embarrassedly: "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness, when His Highness summoned the minister to come here for an audience, the minister was still in Jizhou and was accompanying the second Brother conquered the Dahe clan.

When I received the order from His Highness, I wanted to come here immediately, but the Dahe clan was too deceitful. At this time, I actually slaughtered the people who looted from my Tang Dynasty. After going out, he slaughtered the eighteen pastures of the Dahe clan, and then straightened out the breath in his chest. "

When talking about this point, Xue Wanche was even more embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Then I came late..."

Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled: "Then you came up with a trick full of loopholes, saying that your leg was broken and you couldn't come here in time, so as to escape my punishment?"

Xue Wanche scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Yuanji snorted pretending to be dissatisfied: "Do you believe that I really broke your leg?"

Xue Wanche's expression froze, he quickly shook his head and said, "I won't dare again next time!"

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "I'm sorry you don't dare to do it next time. However, you can stand up when the people of the Dahe clan slaughtered the people of our Tang Dynasty, which shows that you have my people of the Tang Dynasty in your heart." of.

Based on this alone, I can ignore all the mistakes you have made. "

Hearing this, Xue Wanche laughed a little embarrassedly and said, "I don't know if I have Tang people in my heart, but when I saw people from the Dahe clan slaughtering my Tang people, I was very angry and wanted to kill their heads." Unscrew them all and let them be buried with the people of Datang."

Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "This just shows that you have the people of my Tang Dynasty in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry and stand up when the people of my Tang Dynasty were slaughtered."

Xue Wanche was not too polite, he laughed and said: "Your Highness said that I have it, so I have it."

Li Yuanji nodded his head, continued to smile and said, "I've punished you by letting you wash the toilet for half a month. Go back and tidy up and go to Shuofang City as soon as possible.

After arriving there, everything obeyed Su Dingfang's orders. "

When Xue Wanche heard this, he said excitedly, "Is there a war in Shuofang City?"

Li Yuanji nodded.

Xue Wanche continued, "But hit Ashinabil?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said yes.

It's strange to say that this guy Xue Wanche looks like a simpleton in terms of politics and life, but in military affairs, he is not only good at fighting, but also has a very keen sense of smell.

When Li Yuanji told him to go to Shuofang City, he guessed that there might be a war in Shuofang City, and he even guessed who was going to fight.

This is probably the door that God opened for him.

"Commissioner, go back and pack your things."

After getting an affirmative answer, Xue Wanche stood up almost without thinking, and walked out impatiently.

He was obviously a belligerent guy, and when he heard about the war, he didn't even care about etiquette.

Li Yuanji didn't bother with him either, and let him go.

After all, as a healthy and normal person in all aspects, if you care about a fool, then you will fall into the lower class.

After Xue Wanche left in a hurry, Li Shimin said suddenly: "Are you really going to fight Ashinabile?"

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

This was a long-established strategy, and he didn't intend to change it.

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and said: "Ashnabil inherited Suni's lost territory and troops, so it's not easy to deal with. It's not a wise choice for you to rush to declare war on him now."

Although Ashinabil's prestige in Turkic is far inferior to that of Jieli, or even Ashina Simo, and Ashinasheer.

However, the Turkic territory inherited by Ashinabil, as well as the Turkic soldiers and horses, are more complete than Jieli and more united than Jieli.

Therefore, it is far from easy to conquer.

After all, when the Tang Dynasty conquered Xieli, Xieli had already reached the point where all the relatives and relatives were deserted. Not only Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other tribes betrayed him, but even Suni Shi and Ashina Simo refused to help him.

What he can use under his command are actually the Geshu tribe, the Pugu tribe, the Shihuoba tribe, as well as the Ashina tribe and the Ashnad tribe.

After Li Jing raided Yinshan Mountain, defeated some of his Geshu tribe, Pugu tribe, and Ashina tribe, and forced him to abandon his troops and flee, his life was exhausted.

His subsequent counterattack in Monan was nothing more than a dying struggle. It could not pose any threat to Datang, let alone prevent Datang from conquering Turks.

Therefore, the war against Jieli by the Tang Dynasty had come to an end as early as when Jieli was defeated at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Ashnabil's side is different. Ashnabil has completely inherited all the territory and soldiers lost by Suni. Stand firmly by his side.

So it was not so easy for Datang to conquer him.

Although the ending will still end with Datang winning, the process will definitely not be as easy as conquering Xieli.

Datang will definitely have to fight a few tough battles and pay a certain price.

And now it's winter again.

It is not easy to march in Datang in winter. To declare war on Ashinabil at this time, Datang will have to pay more.

Li Shimin spoke at this time, not to stop the war, but to not want Datang to pay more.

Li Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I don't want to declare war on Ashinabil at this time, but the officials can't wait anymore, and the Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turks can't wait..."

Li Shimin knew why the officials couldn't wait any longer.

Because the officials felt that Datang had been fighting abroad for a long time, and the major enemy to be dealt with had also been dealt with, and the rest could be dealt with later.

Therefore, I hope that the army will return to the court, stop fighting, and rest with the people.

This is also the purpose of the officials to make a fuss about Chai Shao's affairs and force Li Yuanji to return to court.

But Li Shimin didn't know why Tong Yehu Khan couldn't wait any longer. He pondered and said, "Could something happen to Tong Yehu?"

Li Yuanji shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that there was an accident, but that I'm going to die of old age."

Li Shimin stared in astonishment.

Li Yuanji continued: "A few days ago, Li Jing sent a letter saying that after Ashinasheer fled to Western Turks, he fought a battle with Yi Nan and Huang Tou. He jumped out and caught both of them by surprise.

What this means, the second brother should be very clear. "

Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said: "This shows that Tong Yehu is afraid, and only when he is afraid, he will choose to fight brazenly when Ashina Sheer and Yi Nan are fighting."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Yes, this shows that Tong Yehu is afraid. But why is Tong Yehu afraid? Based on what Tang Jian learned from the Western Turks, and what we learned from Ye Hu, who stepped into the army Look, Tong Yehu is an extremely conceited person.

If he had no problems, it would be impossible for him to suddenly send someone out during the battle between Ashinasheer and Yi Nan.

He would just sit in his king's tent, wait quietly for Ashinasheer and Yi Nan to compete for a winner, then go to his king's tent to worship him, and be subdued by him, becoming his dog and horse, becoming his object of slavery.

But now, instead of sitting in the king's tent and watching the changes and enjoying the success, he made a bold move.

That means something is wrong with him.

He must resolve the variables of Ashina Sheer and Yi Nan as soon as possible to avoid side effects. "

Li Shimin made a final decision: "He is a khan who rules the countries in the Western Regions, and he can't even tolerate the two little people Ashina Sheer and Yi Nan, so it means that he is about to die. He is paving the way for his son." .”

Today's Ashina Sheer and Yi Nan are nobodies to the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks.

After all, the Turks they were loyal to have been wiped out. Those who have lost the protection of the country, even though they have thousands of troops in their hands, are just exiles, duckweed without roots, and water without a source.

It may be able to threaten a country for a while, but it is only for a while, and it cannot last for a long time.

So the monarch of any country will not regard them as a threat.

So they've gone from being big to being little.

If the monarch of that country regards them as a threat, it means that there may be a change of country in this country.

When the country is changing, the country's political situation will become extremely unstable, all parties will win, and all kinds of people with ulterior motives will appear on the stage.

And they are very likely to be wooed by all parties, and eventually they will become big in this changing situation and become a threat to the existence of this country.

That's why Li Shimin said that Tong Yehu was paving the way for his son.
