Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1376: The chaotic battle in the court hall, the 3 troops enter the court!
"Oh? Du Aiqing also thinks I should send troops to attack Jieli?"
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Du Ruhui came out more and more, Li Er's eyes lit up and asked with a smile.
Li Erbi knows that Datang is not ready for a full-scale war with Turks, but it is one thing not to be ready, and it is another thing to dare to fight, as long as the decision is made, the whole When Datang takes action, the speed of preparing for battle will definitely be fast!
Du Ruhui arched his hands and said: "In response to your majesty, the old minister thinks that what Lu Guogong said is reasonable. Datang does not need to be honest with Jieli, because he will violate the covenant sooner or later. Now the chaos in Turkistan is a good way to attack. Timing! What's more, attacking countries with civil strife has been a practice since ancient times. Datang cannot be afraid of the covenant and miss out on fighters~!"
"Fang Mou Du Jue" really lives up to its name. Du Ruhui has a vicious eye and directly asserted that the original covenant was a piece of waste paper in the eyes of the Turkic people!
When Du Ruhui finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin immediately said excitedly: "Hehe! Lao Du, I didn’t see Lao Cheng before. I didn’t realize that you are also a tough one. Lao Cheng rares you! Hehe! This is me today. Lao Cheng apologizes to you for his clumsy eyesight in the past. When you get better another day, Lao Cheng invites you to drink~!"
After that, the servant patted Du Ruhui's shoulder lightly. He looked very intimate, just like a good buddy who had known each other for many years.
Du Ruhui's mouth twitched slightly, and then moved two steps imperceptibly to the side, keeping a "safe distance" from Cheng Yaojin, and then arched his hands expressionlessly: "Guogong Lu, the old man is just discussing matters, not personal relations. , Please respect Lu Guogong!"
"Hey! Good! Good! Good! My old Cheng respects himself!"
Cheng Yaojin was boring, so he touched his nose, laughed twice, and stood back where he was.
This is just an episode.
At this time, seeing Cheng Yaojin no longer making noise, Fang Xuanling came out more and more, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Keming's words are reasonable. Now the Turkic civil strife is a godsend to me. Good opportunity, when Jie Li soldiers came to the city, the reason why they had to enter into an agreement with Datang was because they couldn’t understand the reality of Chang'an City, and didn’t dare to attack the city. It was definitely not because they wanted to build an eternal life with me!
Foreign Turks have been watching my Central Plains for many years. Once they are ready, or if there is a civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, they will disregard the covenant and directly attack the Tang Dynasty!
So, instead of waiting for Jie Li to attack us, it's better to start organizing troops and attack Jie Li! Now I have a large number of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, sufficient food and grass, and earnestly preparing for three or four months, I will definitely be able to fight Jieli! Otherwise, wait until the Tuli Khan is destroyed and Jieli's family dominates, then I will attack Jieli again at that time, I don't know how many more children will die! "
Li Er nodded, just about to speak, Kong Yingda stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this is inappropriate! Datang is a kingdom of heaven and etiquette, how can such treachery be done? Even if Jie Li is secretly concealing evil intentions, as long as he does not take the initiative and does not violate the covenant, then we can not send troops! Otherwise, where is the authority of the court? Where is your majesty? Who else will believe my Datang promise in the future?"
Changsun Wuji also said: "Kong Jijiu is right! Since Datang is a country of gentlemen, there must be a gentleman's style! If we send troops first, we can certainly win the initiative, but we will also receive The spurn of the people of the world, by then, the teacher of justice will become the teacher of innocence, and other neighboring countries will no longer believe my promise of Datang. For Datang, the gain will not be worth the loss!
Furthermore, even if we are not attacking the Turks now, we can still prepare secretly, recruit good soldiers and horses, and hoard good food and grass. Once the Turks tear up the covenant or make a move that violates the covenant, it will not be too late for us to attack again. ! Even if Tuli was destroyed and the Jieli family dominates, but we are fully prepared and may not suffer their losses~! "
"Om~!"
"The minister agrees. Don't lose your face in Tang Dynasty! You can't lose your majesty's monarchy! The court can mobilize soldiers and horses secretly, but it must not voluntarily tear up the covenant!"
Xiao Yu, Shangshu of Hubu, stepped forward and arched his hands.
"The ministers and others seconded~!"
After these two remarks by Kong Yingda and Changsun Wuji, the civil and military officials in the court are all awakened from a dream, and more and more officials have spoken in support of them. Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were all at once. It seems a little lonely and hard to support!
This has nothing to do with factional struggles. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were basically no factional struggles in the court. The reason why these officials did not agree with the court to send troops was not because they wanted to stand in the same camp as Changsun Wuji, but because Changsun Wuji It makes sense with Kong Yingda!
Great country promises! If Datang didn't believe in his words, he would certainly be able to gain a little bit of opportunity in the war against Turks, but he lost the national prestige, and he couldn't make up for it!
Li Zexuan, who was in the civil service camp, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene. Although he was also the main fighter, he also had to admit that there was some truth in what Changsun Wuji had said to Kong Yingda. As a big country in the Central Plains, naturally We must pay attention to the prestige of the country, and we can’t change the prestige of the country, or else we will lose the prestige and cause no country to believe in Datang anymore. The loss is really too great!
After all, although the current Datang is powerful, it is not strong enough to compete with the nations of the world without any allies!
Li Er, sitting on the top of the head, could not see the situation of the court at the moment. He knew that with the current situation, Datang was determined not to send troops to support Tuli. He frowned and pondered for a long time. When he was about to announce that he would not send troops, a guard ran in from outside the hall, bowed his fist and said:
"Report~! Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the chief Khitan has arrived outside the palace! At the same time, the envoy of the Jie Li Khan faction has also arrived!"
As soon as his voice fell, the civil and military officials in the court suddenly became a little confused!
"What? Chief Khitan and Jieli Khan sent envoys at the same time?"
"What do they want to do?"
"What would Jie Li want to do bad?"
A few quarters ago, Tuli's son and the sent envoy had just left the palace, but now the Khitan tribe under Tuli's previous jurisdiction and Tuli's nemesis Jieli Khan sent envoys at the same time!
The early days of the Tang Dynasty were never as lively as they are today!
Actually, it is not just the bewilderment of the hundreds of officials. Li Er sitting on the dragon chair is also a little confused at this moment. Lao Li closed his eyes and pondered for a while before suddenly commanding: "Let the envoy of the Khitan tribe come in first. See me!"
"Here!"
The guard in front of the hall clasped his fists and promised, then turned and left the Tai Chi Hall!
After a while, the guard led three Turkic people into the Taiji Hall. When the three saw Li Er, they respectfully bowed to a Han, and a Khitan at the head made a non-standard mouthful. In Chinese, he said loudly: "Qi Mi Liangwu of the Khitan Tribe has met His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty!"
"Free gift!"
Li Er waved his hand and asked directly: "The Khitan chief Pyer is waiting for the pilgrimage, why?"
Qi Mi Liangwu bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Qi Mi Liangwu is here to represent our chief and show allegiance to the Tang court. The chief has led the people from Yunzhou a few days ago. Entering into the Tang Dynasty, and now rushing towards Chang'an City, I hope that your Majesty can take in the Khitan tribe. The Khitan tribe is willing to pledge allegiance to your majesty~!"
Following the Turk Khan, the Khitan tribe of the East Turks will return to the Tang Dynasty?
Everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide, and cried out unbelievably!
In one day, the two major forces of the East Turks were about to surrender to the Tang dynasty. Is it true that the Turks have split the way?
Li Er was not dazzled by the joy. His eyes sank and he asked: "The Khitan tribe is considered to be a strong tribe among the tribes of the East Turks. It's so good, why should the chief of your Khitan tribe lead People, return to my Datang?"
Qi Mi Liangwu quickly said: "Back to your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan tribe was originally under the jurisdiction of the Tuli Khan, but since this year, the conflict between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan has deepened. Recently, the swordsmen are facing each other. , Jie Li Khan ordered our troops to attack Tuli Khan, but my Khitan chief had been greatly favored by Shibi Khan, how could he hurt his descendants? So my chief did not give orders ~ IndoMTL.com~ but Jie Li The Khan sent troops to retaliate, and in the end he could only bring all the tribes and come back to the Tang Dynasty! I implore your Majesty to contain the Khitan tribe~!"
"Om~!"
The faces of the people in Chaotang are full of surprises!
The strength of the Khitan tribe is good. Their chiefs can lead the tribe and voluntarily return to the Tang Dynasty. This not only weakens the strength of the East Turks, but also increases the strength of the Tang Dynasty in a disguised way. In such a good thing, we can only say It's God Bless Datang~!
"That's it~!"
Li Er understood his heart and pondered for a moment. He sighed: "Chief Erbu is also a kind and righteous person. Since Jie Li can't tolerate you, then I, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, naturally welcome you to come to my Tang Dynasty! We can send troops and horses to meet the chiefs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs~!"
No one opposes Li Er's decision. After all, the army sent to the door is not for nothing!
Qimi Liangwu said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Datang!"
Li Er nodded contentedly, and said: "You wait for all the cars and horses, let's go back to the post and rest! I will immediately send someone to meet your chief!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Datang! Qi Mi Liangwu retire~!"
Qimi Liangwu gave a salute and then pushed out of the hall.
Li Er's eyes narrowed, and he commanded: "The messenger of Chuan Jieli, come in!"
"Tell Jie Li Khan to make the audience meet~!"
"Tell Jie Li Khan to make the audience meet~!"
The eunuch's own **** spread the will of Li Er loudly. After a while, a strong Turkic man with two middle-sized Turkic men walked into the hall.
The Turkic man has not yet reported his identity, but Li Er, who sits in the head, couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turned out to be you?"
