Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 122 Preparations before the Eastern Expedition (2)

Li Er shook his head and said, "It's not an urgent military situation. The Governor's Mansion of Xiazhou reported that the Turkic people crossed the Yellow River to the south and asked to live between Shengzhou and Xiazhou."

"The Xiazhou Governor's Mansion cannot make a decision on this matter, and hereby ask me what I should do!"

"Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with these Turkic people?" the minister asked.

"I plan to agree to the Turkic people's request! Allow them to live between Sheng and Xia states." Li Er didn't even think about answering this question directly.

"Didn't my father let Qili Khan return to the Turkic people to appease the Turkic people? Why did the Turkic people cross the Yellow River to the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian didn't know much about this period of history. He only knew that Li Er asked Qili Khan to cross the Yellow River north and return to Mobei to rule his people.

In fact, the real purpose is to support Qili Khan to restore the Turkic Khanate, and to check and balance the growing Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan naturally couldn't just watch the destroyed Turkic Khanate return to the country again, so he sent troops many times to deal with the Turkic people of Qili Khan to prevent its restoration.

Although Tili Khan failed to restore the country and Xue Yantuo won the victory, Tili Khan still has [-] tribes and [-] troops. Even if he cannot cause fatal damage to Xue Yantuo, it is no problem to create a little friction .

Why didn't these Turkic people follow Qili Khan well, so they crossed the Yellow River south and came to Henan?

This is where Li Chengqian was puzzled, he really didn't understand what was going on.

"After Tulli Khan returned to Mobei, he couldn't appease the tribe that ruled him, which made everyone in his tribe complain and refused to obey Tulli Khan's orders."

"That's why I abandoned Qili Khan, crossed the Yellow River south to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and asked to live between the two states of Sheng and Xia, willing to belong to my Tang Dynasty." Li Er sighed.

He originally planned to support Qili Khan to check and balance Xue Yantuo, so that Xue Yantuo would not be too swollen and easy to drift.

As soon as he got into his head, he dared to wrestle with Datang. Although Datang was not afraid of Xue Yantuo, but now he was going to crusade against Goguryeo, so he could avoid unnecessary conflicts as much as possible.

But who knew that this Qili Khan was so incompetent, and he really couldn't afford it. You said how brave the previous Qili Khan was, how did he give birth to such an heir.

"What about the people of Qili Khan?" When Li Chengqian asked this sentence, he felt regretful. What else could Qili Khan, who had become a widow, do?
Besides running back to Datang, what else can he do, maybe he can stay in Mobei and wait for Xue Yantuo to come to him.

Li Chengqian felt that he asked a stupid question.

"Xiazhou Governor's Mansion said that Li Khan has come to Luoyang! Calculate the time and distance, and he will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow at the latest." Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty!" A minister came out and saluted, "Your Majesty just sent troops east to conquer Liaodong, and now he wants to place the Turkic people in Henan, not far from the capital, so it won't be a future trouble."

"Just in case, I also hope that His Majesty can guard Luoyang, the eastern capital, to be safe."

"Second minister!" Another minister stood up.

"The minister also seconded the proposal!" Except for several ministers such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the other ministers stood up and expressed their views.

"If I stay in Luoyang, who can conquer Goguryeo for me, I must not give up on this crusade against Goguryeo." Li Er said angrily.

"Report to Your Majesty!" The minister said, "My Great Tang general is like a cloud of stars! Your Majesty can send a general to lead the troops to conquer Goguryeo, and the solution will be solved!"

"Enough! What do you know? How dare you speak nonsense in front of me!" Li Er was furious!
Very dissatisfied with the attitude of these ministers, Li Er reprimanded everyone.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty is guilty of the crime, please forgive me!" The ministers hurriedly knelt down on the ground to plead guilty!

"Yi and Di are also human beings, and their feelings are no different from those in the Central Plains. The owner is worried that he will not be able to give them favors, so there is no need to be suspicious of aliens."

"If the favor is given properly, the four barbarians can make relatives like a family; if there is too much suspicion, even blood and blood will inevitably become enemies."

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was brutal and immoral, and he had already lost the hearts of the people. When he conquered Goguryeo, people used to cut off their brothers and feet to avoid conscription."

"Yang Xuangan led the soldiers escorting food and grass to rebel in Liyang, not because of the disaster caused by Rong Di, you all understand this."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to say a word, which angered His Majesty Li Er who was in a state of rampage.

Seeing the silence in the main hall, Li Er calmed down his mood of rioting, and continued: "This time I attacked Goguryeo, all of them chose to follow me voluntarily and make contributions."

"If you recruit ten, you get a hundred, and if you recruit a hundred, you get a thousand. Those who have not been drafted into the army are full of complaints. How can the resentment of the people during the Eastern Expedition of the Sui Dynasty be comparable?"

"The Turks are a poor and weak nation. I adopted them and adopted them. They are still not grateful and engraved them deeply in their bones. How could they stir up trouble and bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty?"

"The Turks and Xue Yantuo roughly have the same desires and hobbies. They did not go to the north to join Xue Yantuo, but went south to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that their true feelings are true. How can I live up to their kindness."

The ministers still have nothing to say!Originally, they planned to take advantage of the fact that the Turkic people went south to drag Li Er in Luoyang, but who knew that this plan went bankrupt.

Chu Suiliang wanted to stop talking.

Li Er saw it in his eyes and asked, "Does Chu Qing have any objections?"

"I have no objection!" Chu Suiliang saluted.

But I was thinking in my heart, even if I have an opinion, is it useful?It's no use if you don't listen.

Li Er said to Chu Suiliang: "Chu Qing is in charge of my daily life record, and I will write this sentence on it. In 15 years from now, there will be no more hidden dangers of Turkic people."

"No!" Chu Suiliang replied, writing down what Li Er said just now on the Chaohu, so as not to forget it, and adding it to the daily record after returning.

"Do you have anything else to play? If you don't have any, you should all retire! I'm tired!" Li Er sat back on the throne and said.

"Father, how should we deal with the disadvantages of Qili Khan to appease the tribe?" Li Zhi asked just as everyone was about to salute and leave.

Everyone thought to themselves, King Jin is still a little too tender, if according to the general situation, Qili Khan should be severely punished if he is not good at doing things, this is his dereliction of duty.

But the key point is that the dereliction of duty of Qili Khan caused the Turks to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which should be considered a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

Furthermore, this Tili Khan is also the Khan of the Turks anyway, and it is still valuable to keep him.

You don't need to guess, you know that His Majesty Li Er will definitely not blame Qili Khan, not only will he not blame him, but he will also increase his rank and rank.

King Jin asked this sentence, it is really superfluous!
