Chapter 8 Zhang, the back of the class
The military conflict in the far Western Regions, ten days later, was placed in front of the master of the Taiji Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info emperor convened a meeting of the chief and auxiliary levels, and the important ministers observed.
"And the last commander Cheng Chubi pursued the Turks who pretended to be bandits, and beheaded 1,500, what do you think?"
Li Dong is very happy, it is rare for a few powerful successors to appear among the upstarts, which is of great benefit to his empire. Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Zhibi's old son, was also specially called to Chang'an and rewarded and encouraged.
It stands to reason that Cheng Caodi, an old rascal, should be honored with him, but the combination of "day and day" has its own difficult scriptures. Wei Chi didn't talk about him every day, his son named Yu Chihuan didn't want to embark on a career at all, but indulged in the creation of astronomy and geography, the wonder of wonders......
As for Cheng Caodi, he only wants to be a dog.
Yes, he really really wants to be a dog, and the third child of the Cheng family doesn't listen to him at all now. Originally, it was put on the agenda to let Cheng Laosan contribute to the family business and share the worries of his brothers. But what I never expected was that this twenty-one-year-old little beast was independent.
Yes, he really, really wants to be a dog......
"The lord of Khotan, Fu Jaxin, is hard to blame!"
Li Jing, who has never spoken, finally reminded people this time that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings. However, after Li Jing said this, he looked at Li Dong again, as the former head of the company's security section, Li Tianwang's "disciple" Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, was forced by the boss, so he pinched his nose and had to serve the boss first.
"According to the old practice of Khitan and Goryeo." Li Jing paused, bowed his head to Li Dong and said, "You can let Khotan cede the land east of the Jiandeli River, and on the bank of the Jiandeli River, you can set up a city, and to the east and the last hundred miles, you can set up a guard to capture it, thinking that it is an outpost to defend Shazhou." ”
Militarily, it must be an attack and then an attack, Li Jing is not saying that he insists on that bit of land, and that land is useless at all. But occupying the banks of the Jiandeli River, there is enough fresh water source, and it is one of the few large oases in the southern part of the Tulun moraine. As long as this land was occupied, Khotan was exposed to the one-day offensive range of the Tang army.
The most important thing is that, according to the Xizhou Military Report, the distance between Bolu Pass and Jiandeli River is about 400 miles. This distance is enough for the Tang army to react at any time, send a small group of elite troops to attack and harass the Turkic forces, and can also behead Bolu. After all, this is something that the Han Dynasty has often done, and it makes no sense that the Tang army went to Bolu to send a stinky Taoist priest in order to promote peace.
"This alone is far from enough to weaken Khotan."
Fang Xuanling's expression was calm, and he saluted slightly with a flat plate in his hand, "You can order Khotan to mobilize the people to build a Jiandeli River to ...... What is the name of Cheng Chubi's siege and hunting of Turkic cities? ”
"Niyang City."
The chubby Li Jing replied.
"It can be ordered to mobilize the people in the year of Khotan to build a road from the Jiandeli River to the city of Niyang. It can also make a number of giant trees in Khotan to pay tribute to the green ridge to build a plate rail. ”
Zheng Guoqu's reversal version, back then, it was a small country that consumed the national strength of a big country, but this time, it was a big country that consumed the national strength of a small country. And small countries are forced to do so by military pressure and political blackmail.
Unless...... The Western Turks would go to war with the Tang Dynasty in an all-out way, for the sake of Khotan.
"This plan can be done, but, who can go to the risk?"
Li Dong's words made the Zai Fu silent slightly. Indeed, although the Tang army is strong and recruits a coalition army at the end of the year, it does not mean that Fu Jaxin will not suddenly slaughter the Tang Dynasty envoy. Why are small countries small countries? Because small countries are not only short-sighted, but sometimes they are stupid, and they don't know how many people they can't do for themselves.
What's more, Khotan is also a big country in the Western Regions, and it has the support of the Western Turks, whether it is suddenly brainless, Zhenguan Junchen is actually not very sure.
"The Western Regions pacify the envoy Sun Chong, who can be a messenger!"
One person came out of the ranks, and the voice was loud.
The Zaifu were amazed. The one who stood up and recommended it was the eldest grandson Wuji. He doesn't have a position, but he has the permission of the emperor who "participates in political affairs", and he is considered a strange person who is not in the rivers and lakes, but has a brother.
"Huh."
Cheng Zhijie somewhat admired the old yin, because the third child of his family and the eldest grandson Chong have never been harmonious, not to mention how bad the relationship is, but to say that for the sake of the eldest grandson Chong to save each other, it is absolutely impossible, it is not a stone, that is, Cheng Chubi's conscience has not been fed to the dog.
Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, under the influence of Jiangnanzi, his son ...... Not a good thing.
Seeing his eldest brother coming out, Li Dong frowned slightly: "Eldest Sun Qing ......"
"Your Majesty! Both for Zhang and the back of the class, raw silk should be put out of the way! Even if it is a royal family, it is also a courtier. ”
Li Shimin was rarely silent, he could agree without hesitation, but Changsun Chong was his wife's nephew after all, if it weren't for Li Lizhi's accident, at this moment, I was afraid that Changsun Chong should become his son-in-law.
"Yes."
Li Dong said nothing, and the important ministers did not continue to dwell on this matter.
The next thing to do is nothing more than to hurry up and order Changsun Chong, who has already appeared on the territory of the Western Turks, to go to Khotan to proclaim the decree. As for whether the lord of Khotan obeyed or refused, this is all a later story. The only difference is that the eldest grandson Wuji may have to prepare for his son's funeral.
After the messenger of Chang'an set off, the people of Chang'an, who had always been well-informed through the grapevine, soon learned the news.
Then this gossip spread to Hanyang.
"Brother, the eldest grandson Boshu has an old relationship with you, but you want to help him?"
Cui Jue has been collecting wind in the past few days, and has got a few fox stories, and Lao Zhang also told her a few stories of "fox spirit repaying gratitude" that he knows.
"This is an extremely free and easy gentleman, he can afford to put it down, he may not be as good as his ancestors, but if he wants to be a heart-to-heart, he is far better than the eldest grandson Wuji."
Speaking of this, Cui Jue was a little surprised, but he heard Zhang De smile and say, "When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I had several dealings with the eldest grandson Wuji. is too deep and calculating, which is really a headache, but I have to admit that the eldest grandson Wuji can be called a hero. ”
"My brother has always been proud, and it is rare to give people such an evaluation."
"It's not that I'm proud, but I really don't have anything to say to those people. The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. ”
Seeing his fake appearance, Cui Jue chuckled, beat his chest, then sat in his arms and asked softly, "Brother has been busy and tired these days, so let's take time to rest." ”
"In half a month, let's help Brother Li build the Jingling Cement Factory, and that's it."
Holding Cui Jue, burying his head in his chest, and closing his eyes for a while, he raised his head, "Speaking of which, you are close to Zhang Wei, but you also want to have a son?" ”
"Is that okay?"
Cui Jue's face turned red, and he asked softly and timidly.
"What's so hard about that?"
As he spoke, he held the ribbon around Cui Jue's waist and pulled it lightly, and he untied Luo Shang.
