Chapter 765: Request for Felling of Beams
765. Request for felling beams
In the next month, I heard that the Xiazhou army had fought with the Turks many times, and both sides had casualties, and the Turks were also defeated and retreated under the powerful offensive of the Turks, and they went to the tooth tent north of the Turks to survive.
The Turkic civil strife ended like this, and the forces of Lili had almost no losses, and for a while, the Tang monarchs and ministers were also a little uncertain.
But Li Pojun is determined, the Turks will not be able to fight, because according to Li Pojun's understanding, the little Khan of Tuli is not easy to mess with, with the residual power of the two khans of his father and brother, many tribes still respect Tuli, and Tuli, the little khan, rules the eastern region of Turkic, although the power is a little rookie, but it can't stand the Tuli standing alone.
Tuli is one of the Shibi Khan, after the death of Shibi Khan, it stands to reason that Tuli should succeed to the throne, but Tuli is too young, so he was succeeded by Tuli's uncle Tong Lifu, that is, Luo Khan, and then Tuli grew up and just Luo Khan died, it stands to reason that this khanate should be taken over by Tuli, but no, Tuli's old son Shibi Khan has too many brothers, and then a Ashina is arrogant, and he stepped in and snatched the Khan position, that is, Lingli Khan, so this Tuli is very bitter, Originally, he was the first heir to the throne of Genzheng Miaohong, but he didn't have anything to do with the position of the Great Khan, how could Tuli bear it in his heart, and he had been raising the bar with Lili all the time.
It was definitely not because of any mercy that he didn't kill the troops when he quit the army, but he also knew that if he continued to fight, he would only suffer the Turks, that is, he would keep this disobedient nephew for the time being, and the Turks were also licking their wounds.
Li Pojun is sure that now that the Tang Dynasty has destroyed Liang Shidu, Lili will not tear his face to fight the national war, at most it is a symbolic battle, and this kind of battle, the two sides have not stopped all year round. It is impossible to fight the country and fight the war, but Tuli is there, and the profit does not dare to move, as for their uncle and nephew to make peace? This is a question that no one has ever thought about.
Li Pojun made up his mind, and the next day, he also dressed up early and went to the court.
At the beginning of the new year, in addition to the normal political report, the most popular thing is to report auspiciousness, what is the appearance of colorful auspicious clouds on a certain fairy mountain, what is the strange phoenix chirping in that mountain, Li Pojun heard it directly.
When he was about to retreat from the court, Li Pojun stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has this to play." Li Pojun didn't have a wat board, and directly prayed with his hands.
Li Shimin's eyelids were raised, this kid has been honest for the Spring Festival, and he is going to make some trouble.
"Huh? What is the prince's report? Li Shimin also asked cooperatively, obviously a close father and son, but at this time, he was talking in a tone, which was also funny.
Li Pojun stepped forward, considered the vocabulary, and said bluntly and concisely: "Your Majesty, now that the Turkic civil strife is about to stop, each licking his wounds, he must have no time to take care of the puppet Liang regime entrenched in Shuofang, and the ministers invite troops to crusade against the puppet Liang and recover Shuofang."
After Li Pojun said a few simple words, there was a burst of discussion in the court, some people agreed, and some people hesitated, after all, everyone knew the backstage of Liang Shidu, at this time, the vitality of the Tang Dynasty had not yet recovered, and if it was a war, it might not be beneficial.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the prince's words are inappropriate, and Your Majesty cannot allow it." An old minister with white hair and a rickety body came out of the class to play.
This person is Xiao Yu, the prince of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yu is not an ordinary person now, some time ago, Du Ruhui was transferred to the military department, Xiao Yu was transferred to the right servant of Shangshu, and became the prime minister of the Eight Classics, what the prime minister said naturally has weight, and the emperor can't ignore it.
"Oh, Shiwen (Xiao Yuzi Shiwen) please speak." Li Shimin raised his hand and said.
"Although the Turks have been in civil strife for more than a month, the two khans are at war, but the benefits are great, and they have not suffered any heavy losses, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who control the Xian, and now my Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered, and it is the spring ploughing, and it can not be delayed, at this time it is bubbling to launch a national war, it is not timely, and please ask Your Majesty to lie down and taste the courage, think twice." Although Xiao Yu is nearly sixty years old, she speaks with a full of anger and sonorous power.
After all, what Xiao Yu said is reasonable, it is a steady and stable idea, and it is better not to rush to the army before you are ready.
Li Pojun also said at this time: "What Shi Wengong said is the good words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but he does not dare to agree."
Xiao Yu choked when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "I would like to listen to His Highness's high opinion." is quite arrogant, even though he admires Li Pojun very much, but he is also a well-educated and famous person, and it is uncomfortable to be said to his face that he does not dare to agree.
"The two Turkic Khans are fighting, and it is clear that the Turks are losing and retreating, why don't they kill them all? Lone believes that the barbarians will never be merciful, but because they dare not fight, after all, the Turks rule dozens of tribes in the eastern Turkic region, even if the Turks completely destroy the Turks, the Turks will definitely be greatly injured, and the Turks are not fools, as for the Tang Dynasty to recover the Shuofang, the Lone Judgment that the Lili will not fight, and will only symbolically send partial divisions to fight, and will not launch a national war." Li Pojun also arched his hand, and then said directly.
The ministers were also surprised when they heard Li Pojun, and the eldest grandson Fang Du and other wise men frowned slightly when they heard this, and fell into thought, and Cheng Yanjin just shouted directly: "Your Majesty, since the Turks will not come to fight, then let's go and clean up the mosquitoes and flies of Liang Shidu, so as not to come to respond to people every year."
Liang Shidu is indeed like a mosquito and fly for the Tang Dynasty, and will harass the Tang Dynasty every year, especially in Yanzhou, Lingzhou, which is close to Shuofang, and several places are even more suffering, from time to time it is under the instruction of the Turks to invade the border, the hussar general Lin Xingcan, the governor of Lingzhou, Shi Yangze, and the governor of Yanzhou, Duan Decao, have stuck to the border and defeated Liang Shidu again and again, but this guy is like a dogskin plaster, and he has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, just not to let the border be peaceful, the Tang monarchs and ministers hate it to death, but people have a backstage, The dog can't move him for the time being.
Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Cheng Biting Jin's blind shouting, and looked at Li Pojun with a little doubt, "Liang Shidu is a vicious dog raised by the Turks beside my Datang, and it is also a springboard for the Turkic invasion, how could Li Li let the Tang Dynasty destroy Liang Shidu?" ”
Li Pojun was about to speak, but he saw Li Jing, who was in a column of generals next to her, sitting upright, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he should have thought of it with Li Pojun.
