Chapter 410: Another promotion (2)
Now even Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the table, was a little embarrassed. No money or food, let alone going to war, even defense is a huge difficulty!
However, the old fox Changsun Wuji, who was the best at speaking, stood aside and looked at this, and finally said affectionately: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is all caused by Xiaoyao Hou. Why not listen to what he thinks?"
"Well, Wuji's words are reasonable!" Li Shimin seemed to have just realized this problem and turned his eyes to the bored Li Muyun: "Muyun, what do you think about this?"
"Me?" Li Muyun pointed to his nose, showed a very tangled smile, and said irresponsible: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to eat here? I haven't eaten anything for a day yesterday. I searched in the Taixue cafeteria in the middle of the night and found half a cold steamed bun."
What to eat? When is it now? This guy is still thinking about eating?! Everyone looked at Li Muyun with strange eyes.
Although only one Khan died at Xue Yantuo, no one knew what Bazhuo's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty after Zhenzhu Yinan died. If he hated the Tang Dynasty, a war would never be avoided.
And even if Xue Yantuo did not attack, wouldn’t the Tang Dynasty want a larger territory? Even if Li Muyun didn’t want it or Fang Xuanling didn’t want it, did Li Shimin not want it? Those veterans and gangsters of the Tang Dynasty didn’t want it?
Although Li Shimin has been saying that he is not a horse emperor, in fact, his life is indeed a horse emperor. There is always a tiger hidden in his heart. It is also his lifelong dream to expand territory and build great achievements.
There are also those generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was martial. Their descendants needed to make achievements and needed to use the blood of the enemy to pave the smooth road to the top nobles.
The Tang Dynasty was an enterprising Tang Dynasty, a Tang Dynasty that was unwilling to be ordinary. If Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Yinan died, then he must be more valuable to die.
However, compared to the old fox Changsun, Fang Xuanling and others who were stunned by Li Muyun's words, Li Shimin had an indescribable smile on his face, and waved to the old eunuch who was serving behind him: "Go and arrange a dinner party, I want to have a good chat with you all!"
"No!" The old eunuch looked at Li Muyun strangely and agreed. He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor was so tolerant of this young man, but it did not affect his execution of the tasks assigned by the Emperor.
"Li Muyun, I have sent someone to arrange a dinner party. You can say anything now, right?" Taking advantage of the old eunuch's opportunity to go down and instruct his subordinates to do things, Li Shimin tapped the table with his fingers and said with some meaning.
Li Muyun, who was used to rolling around with tantrums, was surprised that Li Shimin had such a stubbornness and smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, how can you be so embarrassed!"
"Stop talking nonsense, your little trick can only deceive that girl Changle!" Li Shimin snorted, increasing the force of his finger tapping, showing that his patience and intention were wiped out little by little.
Li Muyun didn't have a hundred heads, and it was impossible to make a fuss about rolling around. Seeing that Li Shimin had gradually lost his patience, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you really look down on me. However, this matter is actually very simple. The left and right are just driving tigers and swallowing wolves, and killing three soldiers with two peaches."
"Oh? How do you say this? Let's talk in detail!" Li Shimin's eyes were bright, and there was a little thought in his mind, but he was still a little uncertain.
Changsun Wuji and others also turned their heads to look at Li Muyun in surprise. These old foxes just couldn't think of any way for a while, so they took him out to thunder and hoped that he would come up with a bad idea or something to delay the time.
As a result, they never expected that Li Muyun really had a solution, and it seemed to be a very clever method.
Li Muyun blinked his eyes and touched his nose unconsciously under the gaze of several old men: "Well, in my opinion, this is not as good as this. Aren't there many tribes on the grassland? Like Uighurs, Tiel, etc., Your Majesty, why don't every tribe be named a little Khan, reward them with some Dongding, and then let them fight to death by themselves."
"Okay, good idea! Hahaha... I'm a good move to kill three soldiers, and a good move to drive away tigers and swallow wolves! Li Muyun, Li Muyun, I've really read you wrong!"
Although Li Muyun didn't say much and was not particularly detailed, Li Shimin and others still understood what he meant.
Xueyantuo is just the name of a country, not a tribe. The entire Xueyantuo actually includes many tribes, including the large tribes, including the Uighurs and Tiel, and the small tribes are countless.
When Zhenzhu Yinan was there, those tribes did not dare to do anything easily. Zhenzhu Yinan had 200,000 cavalry under his command.
But now it’s different. Zhenzhu Yinan is dead, and his son Bazhuo does not have the ability to convince the public. Therefore, this is the time when the people in the Mobei Grassland are in a state of mind. If you take this opportunity to appoint a few more khans, then the people of those grassland tribes will inevitably have ambitions that they should not have.
In this way, it is estimated that before Bazhuo had any ideas about the Tang Dynasty, a fight would be launched on the grassland to compete for the position of Khan.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty's proactive attack that attracted all grassland tribes to attack, the Tang Dynasty only paid a few flags and a few big drums in this way. At most, another envoy was sent to the grassland, which not only differentiated the relationship between the various grassland divisions, but also gained the favor of each division. The most important thing was to completely mess up the grassland without any effort of a soldier.
Li Muyun looked at Li Shimin who almost laughed out of his throat, then looked at the slightly embarrassed old Changsun and others, and said modestly: "Your Majesty is too much. In fact, in Weichen's opinion, the few old masters have probably already had such plans. It's just that Weichen's young, so he gave this opportunity to Weichen."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "You kid don't have to give them face to you. Apart from you, you, I'm afraid that only Du Qing could make such a decision back then. It's a pity...ah."
Du Aiqing refers to Du Ruhui who was in the Du Duan, but Li Muyun was not lucky. When he arrived in Chang'an, Old Du had already traveled to the west and had no chance to meet.
