The fifth more is sent, ask for recommendation votes!

In the final analysis, the current Datang is internally unstable, and it is okay to grab some cattle and sheep on the edge of the Great Wall, but if it is said that it is necessary to go north out of the Great Wall and fight a decisive battle with the Turks, it is still too early to say, Datang does not have this ability, and the logistics support is not enough.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that it is best to maintain the situation of Mo Nan for the time being. We accepted Jieli's request to surrender, and conveniently sent troops to take over Jieli's Khanting's tooth tent, and took the opportunity to eat Jieli's territory. ”

"Is Jieli willing to give up his territory?"

"Jieli Mountain is exhausted, the road is at its end, we ignore him, and he will be destroyed. In the name of protecting him, we sent troops into his territory, brought Jieli to Xiangyang, and sent troops to help him defend, if Jieli was unwilling, he could only be destroyed, and he had no other choice. ”

Just like when Yang Jian sent Changsun Sheng to bring the Qimin Khan from Mobei to Monan, if he didn't come, he could only stay and die. If you go south, you have to be controlled by the Sui Dynasty.

Choose one of the two, and Qimin could only choose to belong back then. At that time, Jie Like also followed his father south to join the Central Plains.

Now give Jieli a choice of two, Li Chao believes that Jieli will not choose to die so hard, if that is the case, he will not send someone to send any fish gelatin.

In fact, this trick was also played badly early, in the past, the Rouran people, Xianbei people liked to play this trick, in the Central Plains to set up puppets, and then suddenly people also played like this, what Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, all supported, the Turkic Khan openly claimed, I have two sons in the south. Later, Yang Jian dominated the world, sowing discord against the Turks, dividing and co-opting, uniting the weak and separating the strong, splitting the Turks and dividing them, and the internal fighting continued.

Yang Jian also has two sons in the north.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shibi Khan almost captured Yang Guangdu alive, and then the Turks trembled again, taking advantage of the Sui chaos, he supported countless anti-kings, and he was the emperor and the Khan, in short, he wished that the Central Plains would be torn apart, so that he would have a lot of children in the Central Plains.

At that time, Tang was also a Turkic son.

But now, Don has turned over, and the Turks are going to call Daddy Tang again.

Li Chao is that sentence, if Datang has enough strength, then there is no need to accept Jieli, a dead dog, as a puppet, and go north directly to destroy them one by one.

But it's not that I don't have this strength now, so it's better to use more means.

Accept Jieli's request to surrender and surrender, and then take the opportunity to send troops to protect Jieli, occupy the Khan court in Monan, and come forward to reconcile the Turkic civil war.

Certainly not really reconciled.

Anyway, it is to tell Tuli and Yu to set up that Jieli will be the lackey of Datang in the future, and you have to look at the owner to beat the dog, don't beat it. Of course, if you want to continue fighting, then you two will fight. Whoever wins, who is canonized by the Tang Dynasty as a little khan, and who is crowned the king of the Tang Dynasty or something.

Li Shimin was a little unwilling to hear this.

What a good opportunity, he will be happy when one of the Turkic wolf cubs dies, and Jieli is going to die, he will definitely celebrate. Now I still have to protect Jieli, and it's not pleasant to think about it.

But what Li Chao said also makes sense, now Datang doesn't have the strength to destroy all the Jieli, Tuli, and Yu shots in Mobei. And if they are allowed to fight to the end by themselves, the result may be that a new wolf king will emerge from the Turks.

The new wolf king will integrate the Turkic tribes, and soon the Turks will be fierce again.

"Zhuqing, what do you think of what Wen Yuan said?"

Li Jing felt that it was better to use soldiers directly than to do so.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give the minister 50,000 soldiers and horses, the minister dares to guarantee that he will destroy Jieli first, and then Ping Tuli and Yu will shoot and sweep Mo Nan!"

Li Shimin was a little hesitant, Li Jing is indeed very strong in using troops, 50,000 soldiers and horses, Hedong and Hebei can be mobilized.

He asked Li Chao, "Wenyuan, what do you think?" ”

"I don't doubt the ability of Wei Gong to use soldiers. But at the moment, the imperial court wants to support 50,000 soldiers and horses to go deep into the grassland to fight, and it is not easy to pay for this logistics. ”

Li Jing said, "You can use war to support war." ”

"If you can surrender without a fight, there is no need to fight. It's not easy for us now, and we still have to avoid it as much as possible. Li Chao said.

Li Jing glared at Li Chao, as if accusing Li Chao of not being a good talker. When drinking tea at Li's house yesterday, Li Chao promised to do well, saying that he supported the use of soldiers. Today, it changed immediately.

"Your Majesty, you can immediately send an envoy to the north to announce the decision of the imperial court to Jieli and accept Jieli's surrender. At the same time, the general can be sent to lead the troops to the north, stationed in Jieli's territory, and send troops to escort Jieli to Xiangyang. ”

Li Jing and Li Ji asked to lead the troops north.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji intervened and asked to lead troops north.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin also felt that if he could surrender without a fight and easily occupy the territory of Jieli Monan, it would also be a good choice. If Jieli can come to Xiangyang, then Datang can still use him, the Turkic Great Khan, to borrow his fame and prestige.

"Proposed the decree, with Hanyang County Gong Su Gui, Taichangqing Zheng Yuanxuan, and Zuo Xiaowei General Changsun Shunde as envoys, go to Monan to set up a decree to Jieli, Tuli, and Yu."

"With Li Jing as the general manager of the march of Monan Road, he led 30,000 troops to garrison Dingxiang!"

The eldest grandson Wuji has been in Shuofang for more than half a year, and he has not made any achievements, but he really wants to lead the army to attack, regardless of whether he fights Jieli or Yu shooting, it is good to have the opportunity to make some military achievements. Didn't he go to Shuofang to blow the north wind, just to be able to make some military achievements like Li Chao.

Many people feel that Li Chao has no objection to being the prime minister at a young age. But when he was the prime minister, he thought that he was stained with the light of the queen's sister, and that he was not enough to sit in that position.

The eldest grandson Wuji was very unconvinced, didn't he lack some military merits. Datang attaches great importance to military merits, but he has always followed the emperor to fight the world before. It's just that I haven't had the experience of being in charge and leading one side by myself.

went to Shuofang, but he never got the opportunity to lead the army, he intended to go north to use troops, but the court did not allow it.

Concluding the meeting.

Li Shimin left Li Chao and the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as Li Jing and Li Ji.

"Let's have a meal."

The meals are very simple, and now even the meals in the political hall are much simpler, from twelve dishes to four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and no wine.

The table system is divided, and the portion size of each dish is not large.

Li Chao was not polite to eat, but Li Jing and Li Ji were much more restrained. The two border marshals, during the Xuanwumen Change, only sympathized with King Qin, but did not respond to support King Qin. After the successful coup d'état in Xuanwumen, both were in a bit awkward position.

Fortunately, Li Chao vigorously protected it, and Li Shimin also remembered that they were still neutral in the past, and boldly used the two of them. The two have now also proved themselves to Li Shimin with real achievements.

Li Shimin held a piece of mapo tofu, put it to his mouth and stopped, "Wenyuan, are you sure that Jieli will really lead his troops to join and come to Xiangyang?" ”

Li Chao sandwiched a piece of pan-fried whale steak and chewed it very deliciously.

"Your Majesty, Jieli has no other choice, surrender or die, I believe Jieli will descend."

I have to say that the Turks are actually very undisciplined in this regard. In other words, they originally believed in the respect of the strong, and they did not have so many disciplines. Regardless of whether it was an enemy or an opponent before, if the army was defeated, it was normal to surrender.

When the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were strong in the Central Plains, the khans and chieftains on the steppe did not belong too much. Not to mention far away, let's just say that the Turks in the Sui Dynasty, a few did not submit to the Sui Dynasty, and many Khans ran to Chang'an after defeat, to be a companion to the emperor.

However, Li Chao felt that the strategy of the Sui Dynasty in the past was still insufficient.

For example, it is too good for these Turkic people to be attached, giving them land, giving them pasture, food, and even helping them to fight.

It is okay to belong to them, and the court can accept them, but they can't be moved in and given them land. On the contrary, if the imperial court accepts them, it must strengthen its control, and it must really put them under the control of the imperial court.

Jieli and some tribal chieftains have to come to Xiangyang, and their territory, Datang will send troops and horses to garrison.

In the future, the Tang Dynasty will even build a military fortress there, garrison troops, tuntian, and even move the population in the future. For those Turkic herders who have been annexed, control should also be gradually strengthened. For example, the Manchu Qing had a good strategy against the Mongols, strengthening intermarriage, giving titles, dividing fiefs and pastures, fixing them, increasing trade and trade, and it was best to keep these noble leaders in captivity, let them live a 'good life', enjoy the luxurious life of the Han people, corrupt them, let them sell cattle and sheep skins, and then live in earthen houses and stone houses, and gradually become degenerate nobles in captivity.

And the court also taxed the herdsmen in the future, and they also had to serve. In short, the upper strata were co-opted for captivity, and the lower strata of herdsmen were turned into subjects of the imperial court.

As long as you can gain a foothold on the grassland, build a fortress chain, and divide and lock the grassland, not to mention controlling the north of the desert, at least the south of the Yinshan Mountains can be controlled. It didn't take many years for a large number of Han immigrants to pass, and when the Han population was completely dominant, the place would no longer be owned by the Hu people.

This is the ultimate advantage of the Han Chinese, the tactics of crowds, the population floods them, and then completely assimilates them.

During the Jin Dynasty, the attached Hu people were relocated inward, and as a result, the management was not strict, forming a country within a country, which eventually led to the Wuhu Rebellion, which ended in tragic results.

The Sui Dynasty moved the Turkic people attached to it to the south, and as a result, the Turks did not lose their strength in the southern end of the desert, occupying Hetao, Daibei and other places. These are all lessons, and it is okay to accept them, but they must not be treated like a country within a country.

Otherwise, it will only form a big poisonous sore in the henchmen of the Central Plains, which will eventually endanger itself.

"If Jieli really belongs and comes south to Xiangyang, how will Tuli and Yu Shots be treated?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty may grant Tuli the Khan of the East and Yu Jie as the Khan of the South. Then secretly provoke the two to fight. In this way, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"Then if one party annexes the other, won't it make one family dominant?"

"Don't worry about this, first of all, if Jieli doesn't die, then Jieli will always be the Great Khan. With Jieli here, whether it is Tuli or Yu Jieshi, he can't be in the position of the Great Khan, and Jieli is not dead, we can still use his name to gather a lot of tribal population, which can prevent Tuli or Yu Jieshi from annexing Jieli's strength. Moreover, Jieli's territory is stuck between Tuli and Yu She, they can only fight in the north of Yinshan and south of the sand sea, no matter what the fight is, it is more difficult to annex each other, we can keep an eye on them at any time, mediate from time to time, let them fight, but they can't swallow each other. Constantly deplete their strength, so that we can ensure the safety of the northern border, which means that when the time is ripe, we can send troops again, we can defeat them in one fell swoop and recover Monan. ”

"Tong Ye protects the east, his strength is strong, will he take the opportunity to dominate Mobei?"

"There are still Turkic people in Mobei, there are Tiele people, and it is not so easy to unify Mobei with Yehu. His Majesty is willing to canonize Yi Nan as Xue Yantuo Great Khan, and then canonize a Turk in Mobei as the Northern Khan, which makes the situation in Mobei more complicated. ”

"Well, that's the decision first. I can't wave my troops to the Northern Expedition, and I always have regrets. It seems that we will have to wait a few more years, and after a few years, when the imperial court is recuperating and recuperating, and when the strength is strong, I will definitely drive the royal expedition and sweep the grassland! Li Shimin said.
