Great Tang Broom Star

Chapter 1131 Two peaches kill three warriors

Jia Ping'an really didn't want to make any offer of prisoners.

"Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

The road was very boring, and Shangguanyi kept silent, so Jia Pingan naturally wouldn't rush to talk to him.

But Jia Pingan's words made Shangguanyi unable to hold back, "Mr. Zhao, presenting Zhaoling as a prisoner is a major event, and it can boost the morale of the people."

Jia Pingan said unceremoniously: "The best way to boost the morale of the people is to put Ashina Helu in a wooden frame and put it on display at the gate of Dongxi City for three days to ensure the morale of the people."

Shangguanyi was slightly angry, "The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette..."

"Come on, too much etiquette is weak and deceitful, and it will only make people despise."

The monarchs and ministers of the Central Plains Dynasty all had the ambition of all nations coming to the court, as if otherwise it would not be called a prosperous age. And prosperity is the goal of every emperor's life.

Before the Sui Dynasty, it became a joke. Emperor Sui Yang came to the court for the so-called ten thousand kingdoms. In order to put gold on his face, he made people entertain foreigners. He even put silk and satin on the branches to see the flowers blooming like brocade.

But these methods eventually became the laughing stock among the foreign vassals.

"In this world, what counts is who has the biggest fists, not who has the most etiquette. Of course, there must be etiquette, but it must be measured." What Jia Ping'an dislikes most is the one made by Yang Guang.

"When the national power is strong, even if there are dead branches everywhere, the outsiders will still respect you. If the country is not strong, even if you lay silk from the frontier to Chang'an, the outsiders will still secretly laugh at Sui as a fool!"

Everyone understands this truth, but many people worry about offending the foreign vassals when they understand it.

"Inexplicable idea."

"You can't drive away those who really want to come, and you use these methods to attract them if you don't want to come..."

Jia Pingan still wanted to spray, but the scouts came.

Hundreds of riders were waiting outside Zhaoling.

"It's been a long time."

Looking at Zhaoling, Jia Pingan thought about the magnificent life of the late emperor, and couldn't help being fascinated.

A heroic young man, just in troubled times, decisively instigates his father to revolt. Then he led the army to fight, and made great military exploits for the establishment of Li Tang.

"The tactics of the Tang Dynasty are actually the tactics of the late emperor."

Jia Ping'an admired the first emperor very much.

"When the battle was approaching, the first emperor led the Xuanjia army to stand by, and when he found a fighter, he personally led the Xuanjia army to attack and defeat the enemy."

The follow-up Datang's tactics are like this, the army fights,

Pawn first. And the general led the fine cavalry to stand by, and when the enemy's fierce attack on our army failed, and when morale fell, the general led the fine cavalry to attack and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

Of course, the Tang army also had many cases of taking the initiative to attack, and they also used fine cavalry as arrows to attack.

Most of these tactics are the legacy of the late emperor, so the late emperor was able to deter Cheng Zhijie and other demon kings.

But the regularization of Datang's army is inseparable from Li Jing.

The first emperor determined the tactics of warfare, and Li Ji determined the army system, including how to march and how to change when encountering an enemy...

In other words, what Li Ji set was tactics, but what the first emperor set was strategy.

The seamless cooperation between the monarch and his ministers was the invincible tiger of the late emperor.

Xue Rengui looked calmer, and after everyone saluted, Jia Pingan asked about the situation of the battle.

"Ashina Helu's troops have been brave this time, and they kept rushing to kill, but our army is more tenacious."

Some people may ask that a war is that simple?

In fact, it is not as complicated as you imagined, but it is far more complicated than you imagined.

The army is like a huge machine with countless parts in operation. It takes a lot of effort to make all the parts of this machine work together properly.

When the army is functioning normally, the commander can be as good as his arm, so why did the first emperor respect Li Jing so much? Without Li Jing, there would be no normalization of the Tang army.

For an army that is functioning normally, the coach does not need to consider the details, and can respond according to changes in the battle situation when the battle is imminent.

This is the uncomplicated side.

But this simplicity is the result of the efforts of the entire country.

Ashina Helu was in the back, and he was not tied up, and he was dressed well.

"Meet Zhao Guogong."

This is Ashina Helu's first close contact with Jia Ping'an.

very young.

It is said that this person is thirty years old, but he looks about twenty-five or twenty-six.

He looks handsome, but he is more heroic.

"Khan, it's been a long time."

Ashina Helu cupped his hands, "I'm ashamed."

"The first emperor treated you well." Jia Pingan said calmly, without any anger. "The first emperor was merciful. Letting you rule the remnants of the Turks is like throwing gold and silver in front of you, and there is no one to supervise you."

Jia Pingan didn't know the meaning of Datang's arrangement, "So you gradually gathered your followers, and when you felt that you were strong enough, you betrayed the late emperor and Datang without hesitation."

Ashina Helu lowered his head, "Yes."

"How does Duke Zhao think the Turks should be dealt with?" Asked Ashina Helu, his eyes brightened.

Jia Pingan said: "There will never be a second Sabolo Khan. I would advise the court to give up such ideas..."

Shangguanyi was taken aback, thinking that many people suggested choosing one of the Turkic generals to rule the remnants of the Turkic army before departure, but why did Jia Pingan say that he would give up such ideas?

"Scatter them, and whenever someone is powerful, send troops to defeat him."

Jia Pingan turned around, "Turks are Turks, and only by recognizing this can we find the best way to deal with it."

Those Turkic people who feel that they have temporarily bowed their heads to control the tribe will be finished, and the Turks will bow their heads to Datang from now on, but they will be beaten by reality.

"Khan."

Jia Ping'an suddenly looked pleasant.

Ashina Helu trembled, "Please tell me."

Back then, Jia Pingan, as the commander of an army, followed the army to attack the Turks, which left a deep impression on Ashina Helu. Later, a lot of news came one after another, goodbye today, the former boy has become a famous player.

"After this battle, who in Turkic has the hope of inheriting your great cause?"

What Jia Pingan said was very casual.

Shangguanyi's cheeks trembled slightly.

Xue Rengui asked: "Why is Shangguan so?"

Shangguanyi said: "Zhao Guogong makes this old man a little uneasy. I always feel that there is a hole in front of me." He looked at Ashina Helu with pity.

But Ashina Helu doesn't know!

"Pearl Leaf Guard..."

Ashina Helu mentioned four possible candidates.

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "This is the beginning of cooperation. Then I have a small request here, and I think Khan will not refuse."

At this moment, Ashina Helu is not worthy of being called a Khan. Jia Ping'an's address made him extremely uneasy, "Please tell me."

Jia Pingan said: "I also ask Khan to write four letters to these four people."

"It's easy to say." Ashina Helu said: "I will definitely persuade them to surrender."

"No need to do that." Jia Pingan said: "Please also write four letters and tell the four people in the letters that he is your promising successor. Without him, the Turks will have no hope of rising... Your remnants will be destroyed." Leave it to him to rule."

Ashina Helu was stunned.

Shangguanyi snorted, and blurted out, "Two peaches kill three warriors!"

Xue Rengui looked at Jia Pingan with complicated eyes.

As a second-generation general, he was originally in the second echelon after Cheng Zhijie and others. But after returning from Koryo, he was arranged by the first emperor to guard the palace, also known as the watchdog.

This is still the case after Li Zhi ascended the throne.

You want to say it's not important, but how important is it to guard the palace? Non-emperor confidants cannot hold this position.

But Xue Rengui was not reconciled to being a watchdog, and asked for battles several times. It was not until last year that he got the opportunity to go to the Turks.

He knew that this was his chance, so before this battle, he made a statement to eliminate all evil!

He managed to do it, but looking at Jia Pingan, a sense of powerlessness came over him.

On the battlefield, he is an invincible general with unparalleled arrows, but he is not as good as Jia Pingan in terms of strategy.

Four letters, telling the four most promising people respectively, you are the Khan candidate that Ashina Helu is optimistic about, go and fight for the Turks.

Then these four people will start to fight for power and profit ambitiously under the encouragement of Ashina Helu's letter.

There is no hope of complete extinction of the Turks in a short period of time. How to deal with the Turks is a big problem for the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Frequent attacks waste money and people, wise men do not do it.

Jia Pingan's "Two Peaches Kill Three Soldiers" was released.

After all, Ashina Helu had been a khan for many years, so he immediately understood Jia Pingan's intentions, and his spine shivered.

If it was said that he still had some incomprehensible contempt for the famous Tang general in front of him before, now he wants to poke his own eyes blind.

sinister!

His eyes flickered, and he lowered his head.

"You took the initiative to ask for apology before coming to the late emperor's mausoleum. It seems that you are deeply regretful. But you betrayed so decisively, the late emperor is nothing but a fool to you. Why did you come to Zhaoling? I just want His Majesty to soften his heart and forgive you One life."

In an instant Ashina Helu felt naked all over.

"Many people in the court say that your move is a repentance. It's because they like to see foreigners kneel down in obedience, but I know that your kneeling is just a gesture to save your life."

Jia Pingan waved his hand, "Give him a pen and paper, if you can't finish writing four letters within half an hour, sacrifice him before Zhaoling!"

Shangguanyi shuddered.

Before leaving, the emperor said that he would spare Ashina Helu's life.

Jia Pingan found a place to sit down, and began to discuss the situation of this battle with Xue Rengui.

"Is there any movement from the Tubo people?"

"Yes, but before the old man went to battle, people covered his surroundings and no one else was allowed to enter. If the Tibetans want to get detailed information about this battle, they must go to the defeated soldiers to inquire about the news, hahahaha!"

Most of the Turkic people were captured in this battle, and the few defeated soldiers dared not stay, they must have fled far away. The secret spies of Tubo will suffer.

This method is really sharp, and it also takes into account the overall situation.

Jia Pingan felt that one of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty was called the Giant Tang Dynasty was that there were many famous generals.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Ashina Helu.

This glance is calm and breezy.

Ashina Helu was struggling.

He knew that once these four letters were delivered to those four people, the Turkic interior would become a mess from then on.

Turkic...

He was struggling inside.

Looking up inadvertently, he saw Jia Ping'an's calm look.

"I wrote!"

...

"Turks are a big problem."

Li Ji led a group of prime ministers to discuss how to deal with the remnants of the Turks in the future.

Li Zhi had a splitting headache and couldn't come, Empress Wu presided over the discussion.

Xu Jingzong said: "After this war, the Turkic vitality was seriously injured, and it will not be able to become a threat to the Tang Dynasty within at least five years, or even within ten years."

Li Yifu also agreed with this view, "I think it's just a matter of watching the changes. Datang's next opponent is Tubo."

Liu Rengui said: "Yes, Datang should keep an eye on Tubo at this moment, looking for an opportunity to fight decisively."

"But the Turkic suppression is endless, so what? Even if it can't become a threat within ten years, what will happen after ten years?"

Dou Dexuan's soul questioned.

"At that time, we will have to mobilize the army again, which will cost countless money and food..."

My heart aches!

This is true of anyone who has become a treasurer.

cough cough!

Li Ji coughed twice, and everyone looked at him, even Empress Wu.

Dinghaishenzhen in the court hall is about to speak.

Even the Queen is listening.

The eyelids are covered.

The old man continued to nap.

All the prime ministers have black lines all over their heads.

Empress Wu said: "The meaning of all the ministers is that it is difficult for the Turks to become a disaster for the Tang Dynasty within ten years, but it is difficult to say ten years later."

"That's true." Liu Rengui is not considered a newcomer to the court, but he is not liked by his colleagues because of his maverick and aggressiveness, so he needs to show his talent.

"Queen, I think that the Great Tang will send out a large army to wipe them out every once in a while." This is Li Yifu's suggestion.

Liu Rengui said mockingly: "I'm afraid Li Xiang has never fought before?"

Are you fucking mocking this old man?

Li Yifu still smiled, "That's right! I can't lift a knife to kill enemies for Datang, I regret it."

Liu Rengui said: "Then Li Xiang naturally doesn't know the disadvantages of sending a large army to wipe out every once in a while."

Li Yifu was annoyed in his heart, but said calmly: "Please advise."

This old man can really teach you!

After all, Liu Rengui experienced a lot of battles in Liaodong, and he suppressed the existence of Liaodong in the follow-up, so he knows these things well.

"Sending a large army to suppress it every once in a while will only make the Turkic people fight against the Tang Dynasty together."

Empress Wu nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Rengui's opinion.

It is indeed a workman!

Empress Wu secretly praised.

Liu Rengui was justifiable and did not forgive others, "The military and state ministers think that those who don't know the battle should not speak up, so as not to harm the country."

Li Yifu couldn't hold on to his smile.

Liu Rengui, old dog!

Empress Wu smiled very easily, "I know Liu Qing's words."

This is what 'read' means.

Liu Rengui looked at the crowd, "The future of the Turks, I think I should not only keep an eye on them, but also fight against them to create opponents for the Turks..."

good!

Empress Wu said appreciatively: "I deeply agree with Liu Qing's words, what do you think?"

A group of old ghosts were ashamed and silent.

Liu Rengui is shining again!

After entering the court, Liu Rengui observed for a while, and when everyone thought that a harmless colleague had come, he made a move.

refute!

This is the method Liu Rengui uses the most.

Whenever Chao Yi caught a colleague's fault, Liu Rengui would always refute it passionately, embarrassing the other party face to face.

He loves to offend people so much that the emperor and empress thought that there was a second Xu Jingzong.

But later they realized that Liu Rengui couldn't tolerate anyone squatting on his head... except the emperor.

The boss of the sky, the second child of the emperor, and the third child of the old man, whoever refuses to accept it will argue.

This is Liu Rengui.

Now that Empress Wu is in power, he is more respectful, which he often ignored before.

This little old man's temperament is not likable, but his ability to do things is unspeakable, and he is vigorous and resolute. With him in the court, the prime ministers all felt a sense of crisis.

Liu Rengui glanced at his colleagues, the arrogance in his eyes!

Li Yifu's face was ugly.

Liu Rengui said, "I'm not aiming at Prime Minister Li."

In the eyes of this old man, everyone here is rubbish.

Liu Rengui's desire for fame and fame is too hot.

Li Ji slightly opened his eyes and glanced at the arrogant Liu Rengui, then closed his eyes again.

This kind of people can't tolerate anyone who is stronger than themselves, otherwise they will not only try their best to catch up, but also take action to deal with this person.

Narrow-minded!

This is Li Ji's evaluation of Liu Rengui.

But this is a competent official.

Of course Empress Wu knew Liu Rengui's character, but as a ruler, she knew that every courtier could not be expected to be a moral model. Some people like money, some are lustful, and some are fond of fame and wealth... Liu Rengui is not bad.

"Queen, Mr. Shangguan is here."

After finishing the captive offering, Shangguanyi hurried back.

Li Ji opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Empress Wu looking annoyed.

"Where is Zhao Guogong?"

Empress Wu was furious. If Jia Pingan made another mistake, he would have to be beaten again.

Shangguanyi sincerely hoped that Empress Wu could beat Master Jia severely, but she dared not lie.

"Queen, Duke Zhao met someone who abducted the girl on the road, so he took people to track it down."

"Ping'an is always so jealous."

Empress Wu instantly changed her face, her expression was kind.

Empress Wu asked, "How is Ashina Helu?"

Liu Rengui continued: "This person must be subdued so that he can learn more about the Turks."

Shangguanyi said: "Ashina Helu knelt in front of Zhaoling, weeping bitterly, knocking his head on the ground, dripping with blood."

This gesture is fine!

"So, spare his life." Empress Wu said softly.

Shangguanyi endured it, and finally said: "Queen, Zhao Guogong ordered Ashina Helu to write four letters, and after giving them to Ashina Helu, they are most likely to be sent to the four leaders of the remnants."

Huh!

What weird stuff came in?

Something was jumping in Liu Rengui's mind, but he couldn't catch it.

"What letter did you write?" Empress Wu was a little dissatisfied.

"Ashina Helu said in his letter that this person is the best successor after him, and his remnants will be led by this person. I hope that this person can unite the Turks and continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty until the glory of the Turks is restored."

Li Ji opened his eyes, his long-lost eyes were full of light.

"Two peaches kill three warriors, Cai!"

Shangguanyi felt that the atmosphere was not right.

It stands to reason that Li Yifu should object to and ridicule what Jia Pingan did, but looking at Li Yifu's expression, he was actually pleased and happy.

Is the old man old? Even dazzled!

What happened to Liu Rengui? He looked resentful.

Empress Wu's eyes brightened, "But the letters of the four of them are all like this?"

"yes!"

Shangguanyi is ashamed to say that Master Jia's move is unplanned.

Liu Rengui stood up, "Queen, my minister's advice is not as good as Zhao Guogong's strategy."

Huh!

Liu Rengui, such an arrogant little old man, would actually bow his head to Jia Ping'an?

Empress Wu smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I know all about political affairs. You have a strategy for peace, but you are not as prudent as Zhu Qing when you can do things."

Empress Wu is a man.

Some words praised the prime ministers, and pulled down the hatred value for Jia Ping'an.

Sure enough, she is the woman His Majesty can entrust with the government.

The queen then went to the harem.

Now the queen presides over the front court, and the emperor waits in the harem.

Shaopeng always felt that this was a bit strange.

"Queen, the prince is here."

The prince led a group of people ahead.

"What is Goro doing?"

The prince saluted, "Aniang, I heard that the palace plans to let Liulang go out of the palace to build a mansion?"

Wu Mei nodded.

When a child grows up, he naturally cannot stay in the palace, this is a rule of thumb.

When Emperor Gaozu was in the past, because the prince couldn't help coming and going, there were scandals about the late emperor and Emperor Gaozu's concubines.

The prince said: "Aniang, Liulang is still young, please stay a little longer."

This son!

Do you know the consequences of staying longer?

As Liu Lang grows up gradually, he will witness with his own eyes the power of your elder brother, he will be envious and jealous, and then the brothers will turn against each other...
