God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 554 Foreign Affair
"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin's face became even darker.

Solved an annoying matter just now, and now come again?

The ministers were also very depressed, and no one wanted anything to happen.

The original soldier hadn't left yet, and a new one had arrived, and no one felt very comfortable.

The soldier who came to report didn't know what happened, because Li Shimin said one word after another.

"Hurry up! What's the matter!"

Cheng Yaojin also shouted very displeased.

The little soldier trembled in fright, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Turkic General Yaerjin led an army of [-] and approached Ganzhou! Show off your power!"

what!
All the ministers trembled!
Fang Xuanling said bluntly: "Six years ago, all the East Turkic Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan invaded our Tang Dynasty and were defeated by His Majesty. Last year, Jieli Khan brought people to take advantage of the chaos in our Tang Dynasty Another crime, His Majesty spared their lives, what are they doing this time?"

This is another period of history, when Li Shimin had not yet become emperor.

In 626 AD, Qin Wang Li Shimin killed his elder brother Prince Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Qi Wang Li Yuanji through the Xuanwumen Incident to win the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Shimin had not yet recruited or eradicated Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanche, Luo Yi and other Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remaining tribes, Jieli Khan ordered the cavalry of Bayegu and Tongluo to besiege Wucheng and restrain Cheng Zhijie, Xu Shiji, Chai Shao, and Qu Tutong were the main forces of the Tang army. He himself cooperated with his younger brother Tuli Khan and Tie Le leader Qibi Heli to lead an army of 20 troops to the south. Martial arts city.

Jieli Khan sent a general under his tent to march into Chang'an City to threaten the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and at the same time led his army to advance to the north bank of the Weihe River outside Chang'an City.Li Shimin detained Zhishili, and then took the risk of leading his eldest son Wuji, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Dugu Yanyun and other six riders to the south bank of the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an City, across the river to accuse the East Turks of treachery.At the same time, Yuchi Jingde, a general of the Tang Dynasty, led an army to defeat the Turkic left-wing army in the Battle of Jingyang, and the famous Turkic general Ashina Wumochu was almost captured.

Jieli Khan and others knew that they were wrong, and because of the attack on the flank, the general was detained, so they made an alliance with Li Shimin by cutting off the white horse on the Weishui River Bridge, and then retreated.Turkic Jieli Khan donated [-] horses and [-] sheep.Li Shimin also let go of his incapacity.Li Shimin took this matter as a warning, so since he came to the throne, he has been preparing to destroy the Eastern Turks.

After more than a year of development, especially the joining of Li Chengqian, it took only half a year for Datang's national strength to rise to a certain level.

At this time, the Turkic army is approaching Ganzhou again!That is courting death!

If this matter had been put a year ago, when the Tang treasury was in short supply, Li Shimin might have had nothing to do with them.

"His grandma, these Turkic people are not afraid of death. Your Majesty, ask Lao Cheng to meet them, and beat them to the ground with their teeth, General Yarkin!"

Cheng Yaojin said so.

Li Jing said: "General Cheng, don't rush this matter. You are the Great General of Zhenguo. We have a lot of foreign troubles in the Tang Dynasty. If people see that we send you out, they will think that we have no one left!"

What he said was right, Cheng Yaojin's skills were very high, the Turks only harassed the border, and no large army approached.

Let Cheng Yao fight at this time, in case there is another accident in other places, there is no general to guard the country, it is unreasonable.

Moreover, there are so many fierce men in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin doesn't necessarily have to play.

"I can't see it, what does Your Majesty think?"

Cheng Yaojin simply kicked the ball to Li Shimin.

"What do you think, dear friends?"

This is where the rulers have the advantage.

When he can't think of a way, he kicks the ball directly to others.

Xiao Yu said: "The ministers feel that the trade with the Turks will be closed directly, let them know that our Tang Dynasty cannot be bullied!"

His proposal was endorsed by many people.

This is like the trade between a big country and a small country. If you are disobedient, I will close the trade with you at any time.

"Song Guogong, you take it for granted!"

Li Chengqian sneered.

It made other people very puzzled, especially Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Because everyone knows that switching off is the most direct and effective way, why does Li Chengqian still laugh at Xiao Yu.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"This king laughs at your ignorance!"

Li Chengqian's words made everyone's faces darken.

Laughing at Xiao Yu's ignorance is also laughing at everyone's ignorance.

"His Royal Highness, no matter what Song Guogong said, it was for His Majesty's concern. How can you say that he is ignorant?"

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, and directly turned on Li Chengqian.

"The ones who helped him were all ignorant. They took it for granted. They were so stupid!"

The more Li Chengqian spoke, the more ruthless he was, making those present who supported Xiao Yu lose face.

"Your Majesty, I feel that His Royal Highness is targeting me!"

Xiao Yu said with some displeasure.

Before Li Shimin could speak,
Li Chengqian laughed.

"If you say you are ignorant, this king will naturally have a conclusion. This is well-founded, and you have to listen to this king!"

All the ministers also wanted to know what Li Chengqian was going to say.

"Who do you think has the upper hand in this trade?"

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone bowed their heads in silence, because the problem seemed to be out.

Li Chengqian said: "It's my Tang Dynasty! The Turkic people exchange food for my Tang Dynasty's colored glaze first. If the trade is closed, it will be a big loss for us. And I can have as much colored glaze as I want. I'm afraid they won't Dare to ask, we have as much as they want. This is the first point,
The second point is that we will continue to strengthen trade with them and buy war horses from them for our use. On the other hand, we will send a large army to guard the border. As long as they dare to move, we will dare to kill them. We must not be weak!That's really buying their stuff and hitting them!Why stop trade? "

But Xiao Yu said: "I think if His Highness the Crown Prince goes to the border to guard, it will definitely make our soldiers happy!"

This guy is really annoying.

When Li Chengqian went, he really felt like a fish in water, showing off his skills.

But soon, he was stopped by Empress Changsun.

"No, at this time Gao Ming is embarking on the great reform of our Great Tang, and he must do this. If he goes to guard the border, can the reform of our Great Tang still be carried out?"

The current Li Chengqian has long been an indispensable figure in the Tang Dynasty.

Without him, the entire Datang reform would have stagnated.

In fact, Li Chengqian also wanted to see it, but it was not the time yet.

Internal troubles have not been completely resolved, and external troubles are naturally handled by someone.

At this time, he thought of someone.

So he turned his attention to Qin Qiong.

At this time, Qin Qiong was already alive and well.

As soon as he saw Li Chengqian's gaze, he immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, let me go!"
