At the end of the 17th year of Zhenguan, the remnants of the Eastern Turks were led by Asnasmo, and part of the Western Turks split. They left the Mongolian Plateau under the leadership of Shaboluoyehu Khan and embarked on a long journey to the west. It was not until four hundred years later that the Seljuk Turks reappeared at the westernmost end of Asia. Three hundred years later. That is, in the middle of the 13th century, after several ups and downs, this nation finally established a powerful Turkic country at the junction of the two continents of Eurasia, and destroyed Eastern Rome, affecting the history of Europe for 500 years. This is the Ottoman Empire for a time. Well, this section was the fantasy of my son. It is necessary to interview the parties to know whether the Ottoman Empire was the establishment of this group of Western Turkic defectors. However, I think I probably won’t live that time.

The Tielqibu tribe in Liangzhou was attached to the Tang Dynasty. Uncle Li took the farming and grazing area in Hetao area for him to farm and grazing, which consolidated the border security of the frontiers of Helan Mountain, Fengzhou and Shengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and enriched the population to a certain extent. The long-term border problems were finally alleviated. The western Turks in the northwest are now in a stable period. Since the last Khan escaped from Tocharo, they have not recovered their own vitality, which has suddenly reduced the military pressure of the Tang Dynasty in the West.

At this time, the Goguryeo envoys and the Tubo envoys arrived in Chang'an at the same time. Uncle Li still attached great importance to the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty in the honeymoon period. However, as for the arrival of the Goguryeo envoys, Uncle Li had decided to continue to entangle on this issue.

"Everyone, tell me, tell me what you think now." Uncle Li stroked his long beard and said with a rigorous face. This is the location of the Military Staff Academy. Except for me, a young man, the rest of the people in the hall were all important officials in the court. Su Dingfang was very fond of Uncle Li for his military achievements over the past year. He often asked him to participate in some heavyweight military research activities, such as the current situation, other places, namely my father, Li Shiji, Changsun Yinren, and Zhu Suiliang.

Su Dingfang and I have a common language, and I don’t have a high position. I squatted at the end together and whispered boring topics such as which restaurant in Chang'an has a relatively novel dish recently.

Uncle Li's cousin, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, took the lead in speaking: "According to my opinion, Goguryeo, you must fight, but the timing is not right."

"Oh? Why did Daozong say this? You have always been very interested in the attack on Liaodong. Why did you change your temper today?" Uncle Li became interested and signaled his cousin to continue. Li Daozong, this Uncle Li's cousin is not a slight person, and can be regarded as a famous general with a lot of effort. He has made great efforts in the battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty many times. He is very good at fighting and has a close relationship with Uncle Li.

Li Daozong smiled, reached out and knocked on the frame of the huge sand table map, and said in a deep voice: "I want to fight Goguryeo, but it has not been a year or two. For more than ten years, I have hoped to expand my territory for Your Majesty. My Tang Dynasty is a hundred times stronger than the previous Sui Dynasty. I really feel ashamed of not taking Goguryeo. However, at present, the most important thing for us is the north."

"North?" Uncle Li pondered slightly, raised his eyebrows and pointed at the north end of the sand table like a sword: "Are you talking about Tiele?"

"It's Tielle!" The prince Li Daozong nodded and said, "The Mobei has been suffering from the Central Plains since ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall was the strongest, and the Hu horses of the Xiongnu Shanyu. The Sui Dynasty was prosperous in the world and could not surrender the iron cavalry of the Turkic Khan. Now the Turks are heading west. The Uighur Qibi He led his troops to support the desert, and the north and south of the desert are not in harmony, which is a good opportunity! I think we should quickly send a large army to take advantage of the situation, plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and eradicate the troubles of Xueyantuo's northern desert in one fell swoop. Goryeo can not ask for it for the time being."

"Xue Yantuo? You have been worried. The Xue Yantuo tribe is just a fat luer who is struggling to death. Don't say that a large army in the Tang Dynasty can defeat the country. Just the Western Turks are eyeing them with covetous eyes." Uncle Li smiled confidently.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very much. Since the battle of Beiqiang, Xue Yantuo's strength has been greatly damaged, with two out of ten people, and his troops have almost been swallowed by our Tang Dynasty. In addition, the compensation after the war has allowed them to temporarily maintain their status, our Tang Dynasty has taken out all their national strength..." Changsun Wuji made a gesture of grabbing the ground, which made Uncle Li squint his eyes and laughed proudly: "If you do this, it's still my husband's love for his son-in-law."

"Where, if it weren't for your father-in-law, you can't have such a small achievement." He quickly leaned over and said modestly. Uncle Li smiled and pointed at me. "You guy, your contribution is yours. I'm not blind. But, let's leave the contribution this time first, and then we will calculate together. Anyway, you are my son-in-law, so I will definitely not treat you very much."

Uncle Li's words made everyone laugh at the venue. I looked helpless. An old hooligan, how could he have made meritorious service and still be able to keep accounts?

Su Dingsu squeezed over from the side, hit me with his shoulder, and lowered his voice: "My brother, I congratulate you first. If you get the reward, don't forget to have a meal for you?" I rolled my eyes to the hippie smile: "You are not afraid of being supported."

At this time, Uncle Li Ji stood up and touched the short beard under his chin. When he walked to the sand table, his actions made everyone's noise finally calm down. Uncle Li Ji pulled his mouth: "The cold land in the north of the world is not conducive to long-term battles. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fought hard with the Xiongnu, and often suffered unexpected results. The army was mostly damaged. Li Guang, Li Ling and his son were also defeated one after another. Therefore, I think that today's military use should be in Goryeo, first, Goryeo and I were the best. In the Tang Dynasty, it was based on farming, neither the strong bows and fat horses nor the strong iron armor. In the previous dynasty Emperor Yang of Sui swept the ground and was unable to pacify. With Yang Xuangan, Yu Culture and the chaos in the country, the army lost supply, it was not impossible to win. Now, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and the treasury is full of treasury. Your Majesty sent 100,000 troops to pacify. Even if Your Majesty tolerate his unjust ministers, the flags were only limited to Yalu River. However, as long as my Tang Dynasty soldiers exit Yuguan, it is enough to regain the land of Liaodong."

Li Shimin nodded: "The north and Liaodong are all empty and cold places. The long winter and short summer make the war in the north of our Tang Dynasty unable to last long. This obstacle has troubled our Tang Dynasty for more than twenty years. However, you all don't know that there is something that can be used by our elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to keep the cold."

Uncle Li looked at the important officials in the court, but he didn't look at me. Well, I guessed with my little toes. What else can I do besides cotton?

Sure enough, under the hesitant eyes of the ministers, Uncle Li had already asked an imperial guard to walk into the hall wearing a set of cotton coats and trousers, wearing a strong armor. On the side, several eunuchs walked in with a few sets of cotton clothes and trousers. There were also leather floors on the outside, cotton floor lined gloves stuffed inside, and cotton floor-lined cotton boots were also used as leather.

These old ministers were touching and exploring them. Uncle Cheng was even more straightforward and took off his boots and tried them on them. After taking a few big steps, he smiled happily: "Your Majesty, this thing is so warm that it is not like the new leather boots."

For the use of cotton products, it is much easier to obtain than fur and is easy to produce in large quantities, which can greatly improve the ability of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty to continue to fight in the cold winter.

However, at this time, the counselor Chu Suiliang, with a serious face, said to Uncle Li: "When the Turks were strong, the troops in the Central Plains could not come out of the frontier. After the Turks left, the north of the desert was depressed thousands of miles north of the desert. At that time, the tribes fled and did not belong to each other. Your Majesty said that there must be a king in his place. He personally surrendered the seal and made Xue Yantuo the Khan.

The former was Xue Yantuo obedient. Your Majesty was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public. He once promised marriage to help him. When Xue Yantuo became a big man, he broke his engagement. I repeated the matter and broke the trust in the Diyi. Outside the Great Wall, there were countless tribes, and there were their own growth and decline. If Xue Yantuo was destroyed, he would not know what to allow Khan and what to do with Shanyu! Our Tang Dynasty fought for this poor land with a large army, and could fight but not win, could win but not defend, and could defend but not defend.

If you can take a long time, once the food is gone, a million yuan of expenses will be spent, and all previous efforts will be wasted! Confucius said: "Get out the army, leave the food, don't trust it." If he comes to the enemy, add the army and return to the future. Be kind to him. Even the Rong Di is not a human face and a beast. If you have time, why worry about not being convinced? Simo, why should you return to Your Majesty? This is because of this. Therefore, I think that we should send new envoys to the frontier to marry each other so that our dynasty will not regret the Khan, and Khan will not give in to the world!"
