Chapter 416: Xixi Xiangchen Lotus Steps at the Bottom (3)
Li Jinxing and Qi Bi Ming once secretly issued an order, if Hongji City appears again, Li Wei personally leads troops, so that the personal guards in their clan will tie down the prince even if they are tied up. They will bear the consequences.
Don't let Li Wei take risks.
But Li Wei will no longer be impulsive now. Could it be that it would not be enough to suffer once?
Li Shoucheng asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what is the east wind?"
I don’t understand it very well, Dongfeng can’t understand it, let alone Qinling is Huang Gai?
"Emperor Li, let me tell you about the information about the population of Tubo. The local population of Tubo is about three million, including Yangtong and Supi, who are not very loyal to Tubo. This is the population composition of Tubo. The vassal states such as Nibharati in the south have a population of at least 300,000. Some of the Western Regions have been lost, and 200,000 to 300,000 people of each ethnic group were enslaved by Tubo. Then to Dangxiang, Bailan and Dongnu Qiang, this division has a population of about 600,000 to the west of Nanzhao Tieqiao. There is a population of about 200,000 people west of Nanzhao Tieqiao. In fact, it is definitely more than 300,000 people from the Western Regions to Qinghai. In fact, it is definitely more than 300,000 people, just like Dangxiang, there are less than 200,000 people. In fact, they reported that there are more than 400,000 people. That is, the actual population of Tuyuhun will reach 600,000 or even more. But it is definitely not higher than 100,000 people."
"Yes, but what does this have to do with Dongfeng?"
"It's a big deal. Eunuch Li, don't you think the population composition of Tubo is very dangerous? If you want to shake it, the sooner you take action, the better. Once it is integrated, a country composed of seven or eight million, or even millions of fierce nomadic peoples will endanger it, which is even more powerful than the Huns at the time."
"Yes," I haven't heard the relationship with Dongfeng yet.
"Among these tribes, Tuyuhun is the most loyal to Tubo. There are so many in-laws among the upper nobles. The Nibharu whips are far behind. The Tubo people in the Western Regions do not have the advantage. Nanzhao follows him. Our dynasty will manage Erhai Lake first. This is the majority of Nanzhao. Others can be discussed from the long-term plan. The Eastern Nu Qiang people are cowardly and the Dangxiang people are trying to win over. The only thing left is Tuyuhun."
"I understand that many soldiers died in Tuyuhun in this battle, which has exceeded the scope of Tuyuhun's endurance. Not only did manpower and materials also run out, and the people could not live. At this time, as long as the Noble Bourd order is issued, a large group of people will move to Lingzhou to avoid this disaster."
"That's right, this is also a war. As long as the Tuyuhun people are reduced to halfway, there is no military force to be conquered and no materials to be transferred, it is even more unfavorable for the Tubo people to fight our army in Qinghai. Those who are good at fighting have no military achievements. This practice is similar in nature. Why do you have to fight bloody battles with the Tubo people?"
"It turns out that Nuohe Bo is Dongfeng, so why is Lun Qinling Huanggai?"
Li Wei looked at everyone, but still didn't understand why Lun Qinling turned into Huang Gai. He didn't want to invite Lun Qinling to have a drink. He probably hadn't left Shanzhou City before, and Li Jinxingzhen sent someone to tie him up later.
He said to Pei Xingjian: "Master Pei, tell me why do you say that Lun Qinling is the Huang Gai of our Tang Dynasty?"
"As for the order," Pei Xingjian said, turned to everyone, and wanted to know the reason, and calmed down one by one. Pei Xingjian said, "Your Highness said that he was Huang Gai, not to use a deceptive surrender plan for our Tang Dynasty, but to mean that he would help our plans this time."
Many people showed strange expressions.
Li Wei just turned the teacup in his hand and said nothing. The emergence of coal provided a higher temperature, and the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was also evolving, and the porcelain glaze was more crystal clear than before. The white porcelain teacup in his hand was faintly glowing with jade color, and I don’t know that it was fired from the porcelain kiln.
Pei Xingjian paused and continued to speak. He never said that it was not that he didn't say it, but that it was a rare opportunity to train the thinking ability of the generals.
After taking a sip of tea, he said, "In this plan, success is Qinling, and defeat is Qinling. Since Lun Qinling defeated our Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui in Dafeichuan, the Tuyuhun people regarded it as a god. This battle in Qinghai is also remarkable, but they only focused their attention on the palace, but they did not succeed, and in fact they did not have the advantage. Therefore, Lun Qinling did not come for a day, and the Tuyuhun people had more hope for one day, hoping that he could solve the crisis in Tuyuhun. This time
The war lasted for a long time, and the pressure on Tubo was high, and the troops were unstable. Qinling would inevitably go back to Luoshecheng. However, Qinghai had many crises. Before he returned to Luoshecheng, he would definitely come and take a look and make some arrangements. But he was a man, not a god, and the pressure on Tuyuhun could not be lifted. The great expectations were, the great disappointment would be. Qinling would not return, Qinghai would not be in chaos, and the people of Tuyuhun in Qinghai would be truly disappointed. So Your Highness said that he was Huang Gai of our Tang Dynasty."
Whether it is Qinling or not, it is an open conspiracy, and Qinling has no choice but to do anything. Unless he can generate millions of stones of food, the Tang Dynasty army will not continue to attack.
"So that's it," one of them finally understood.
Pei Xingjian looked at the map and said, "In fact, if Your Highness meets Lunqinling, it is also fine. First of all, you can look at the map. The selected place is backed by the Chiling Remnants, and the front is blocked by a river. It is located between Wansu City and Jishi Army City. Except for some hills, the terrain is flat and not in Hexi. Whether we are Tang Dynasty or Tubo want to ambush an army, it is impossible not to be discovered. If this is removed, if we rush out from the rear army, we can return calmly. Lunqinling is the same. It is not easy for us to take this opportunity to kill him. But it is beneficial."
"Shilarious Minister Pei, you should not underestimate the use of Qinling's military service," Heichi Changzhi was a little worried.
"No matter how much he cannot be underestimated, he is also a human being. He has thirty or forty miles, and all the cavalry are in the middle of the road. The road is wide and flat. He can't get it for half an hour, so he will withdraw it. What strategy does he have? Besides, the time is set by us, so the time can be shorter. Even if there are any loopholes for him to exploit, he will not think of it for a while. This is a meeting. To put it in a big way, even if it is an alliance, this person can use a strategy and will not use an army to kill His Highness on this occasion. Don't underestimate this person's character."
Li Wei is now the crown prince, and in the near future, he may be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This meeting is no less than an alliance.
Lun Qinling was the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but he could not be regarded as a despicable person.
This is the second reason to deny the danger of the prince.
"But this meeting was not only the ambition of the Yangtze River, but also the pressure on Lunqinling."
It’s not about treating you to drink or repaying your love, it’s about me holding grudges. You must retaliate and have the opportunity to retaliate. Once Lun Qinling returns, Lun Zan Po is not Li Wei’s enemy. In order to prevent Qinghai from losing money, Lun Qinling had to continue to dispatch large troops. The garrison will have to spend money, whether it is Tuyuhun, Bailan, or Dangxiang, it will continue to put a lot of pressure and exploitation.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how to meet, but perhaps Lun Qinling believes that the Tang Dynasty army will rest or other arrangements will make this time the Dongfeng will be less perfect.
"Mr. Pei, is this a bit risky?" Li Jinxing hesitated.
"It's not a risk, otherwise Your Highness wouldn't have called Eunuch Li to go with you."
In fact, concern is confusing. The prince has scared him in the past six months, so when he heard this, he opposed it all.
Pei Xingjian analyzed and thought about it carefully, but he didn't say anything.
So Li Wei wrote a letter to Lun Qinling and asked him to meet him.
After reading the letter, Lun Qinling did not hesitate. He laughed loudly, started his hand and replied: "I dare not obey the order of the prince."
The head coaches of both sides met, whether it was a matter of being elegant or scheming. When their subordinates were busy, countless scouts rushed out. It was only 80 miles from Wansu City to Jishi Army. Within a few days, nearly a thousand scouts were distributed. Almost every corner was touched by the scouts.
But I have a very tacit understanding. Everyone looks at yours, I look at mine, and they don’t start fighting.
Li Wei comforted his wives and concubines, mainly because Pei Yuhe's illness has not been cured, so it is inconvenient to go to Jishijun again. She didn't go, and the other girls were not easy to go. But Li Lingyue and Li Xian did not stop him and had no choice but to take him with her.
Looking at the proud third brother, Li Wei said, "Third brother, if this matter is passed back, my father and mother will definitely scold me."
"No, since I'm here in Qinghai, I also want to see what the Tubo army looks like."
"Don't talk nonsense, stay with the Jishi Army. I met Lunqinling. It's a military need. What kind of discipline do you want to go?"
"I want to see."
"No, or after you go back, how about I let you go to Xiaojishi Mountain to hunt?"
This sentence touched Li Xian's heart and didn't know how to choose.
For more than 200 miles of land, Li Shoucheng and Li Lingyue were not good at horses, so they had to stop halfway.
Li Shoucheng came to Li Wei's tent and looked around.
This eunuch came to Qinghai, not only as simple as Qinghai. Li Wei waved his hand, asked his left and right to retreat, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him on his own initiative: "How is the father and mother in good health?"
"Your Majesty heard that something happened to Your Highness, he was seriously ill at one time. The mother was very healthy. She often cried in the harem."
"My son is unfilial, and my father and mother are concerned about it."
"Your Highness, don't say this. This time, peace comes out, and my ambitions are greatly increased. When I come all the way, I see many men wearing red cloaks. It can be seen that they admire His Highness very much."
"It's just a lucky chance to save your life. That's why I'm ashamed."
"Your Highness, it's not easy. It's better than Xue Rengui's time."
"Empress Li, don't say that. Xue Rengui used his troops very little that time, and he was careless. He was alone and the generals were in a mess. In terms of military ability, there were three people in the Tang Dynasty, so he was definitely not as good as he was, Liu Xianggong, Pei Shilang and General Xue."
"Your Highness is indeed modest."
This is not modesty, it is a fact. Xue Rengui has also been demoted and has also been wandering. It is a pity that he has been in Yaozhou.
"In fact, if it weren't for His Highness Yong... as an emperor, he would have done such a rebellious thing..."
"I am heartbroken. If he can fight for it, I will let him go. The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is not a small matter, and the wise must be inherited. But if we fight for justice and openly, we must not use such a means of misleading the country and the people. I remembered something that everyone admires the five surnames and seven families, but the five surnames and seven families actually controls too many resources of the empire. I am also the leader of the country. If they do it, others will learn how to do it. In fact, the country is seriously embezzled. Is the five surnames and seven families a tumor? But I have to admit that the inheritance of these aristocratic families. The country is the country, the big one is the country, and the small one is the family, and the children in the family also want to compete for the head of the family. The capable one is competent, and the elder one is competent, so can they not collude with external sects and harm the family. Otherwise, no matter how big the family is passed down for several generations, it will collapse. The country is the same."
It is fake to Li Wei not get angry this time, although it can be understood.
"Yes, if it weren't for the queen, the country might have been in chaos."
Li Wei suddenly understood why his mother asked him to come to Qinghai. This was to let this confidant test his inner thoughts, and he might have to get some agreement from his mouth.
The Tubo military strategy was discussed in Qinling. The Tang Dynasty's political power strategy was the mother. But this is difficult to answer. If you promise to give your mother greater rights, your mother will support you immediately. As long as your mother supports it, the overall situation has been decided.
The yellow robe basically began to show him, waiting for him to put it on.
But what are the consequences if you give your mother great power?
