Chapter 1131 Two peaches kill three soldiers
Jia Ping'an really didn't want to make any 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 the 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 to come to the court, as if it could not be called a prosperous age otherwise. 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 sake of the so-called nations, and in order to put gold on his face, he made people entertain foreigners. He even put silk and satin on the branches to watch the flowers bloom.
But these methods eventually became the laughing stock among the foreign clans.
"In this world, we look at who has the biggest fist, not who has the most etiquette. Of course, there must be etiquette, but it must be measured." What Jia Pingan dislikes the most is the kind of Yang Guangnong.
"When the national power is strong, even if there are dead branches everywhere, the foreign clansmen will still respect you. If the national strength is weak, even if you lay silk and satin from the frontier to Chang'an, the foreign clansmen will still secretly laugh at Sui as a fool!"
Everyone understands this truth, but many people are worried about offending foreigners 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 wanted to spray, but the scouts came.
Hundreds of riders were waiting outside Zhaoling.
"It's been a long time."
Jia Pingan looked at Zhaoling, thought about the magnificent life of the late emperor, and couldn't help being fascinated.
The heroic young man, just in troubled times, decisively instigated 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, and the infantry comes 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 the Tang army is inseparable from Li Jing.
The first emperor laid down the tactics of warfare, and Li Ji set up the army system, including how to march and the changes when encountering an enemy...
That is to say, what Li Ji set was tactics, but what the first emperor set was strategy.
The perfect cooperation between the monarch and his ministers is the invincible tiger of the first emperor.
Xue Rengui looked calmer. After everyone saluted, Jia Pingan asked about the situation of the battle.
"Ashina Helu's troops have been brave this time, and kept rushing to kill, but our army is more tenacious."
Some people may ask, is a war as simple as that?
Actually not as complicated as you imagined, but far more complicated than you imagined.
A large 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 the changes in the battle situation when the battle is imminent.
This is the uncomplicated side.
But this is not complicated is the result of the efforts of the whole country.
Ashina Helu is at the back, untied and well dressed.
"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.
Looks handsome, but more heroic.
"Khan, it's been a long time."
Ashina Helu cupped his hands, "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, with no one to supervise you."
Jia Pingan didn't know the significance 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 Lord 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 suggest that the DPRK and China give up such ideas..."
Shangguanyi was taken aback, thinking that before departure, many people suggested choosing one of the Turkic generals to rule the remnants of the Turkic army, but why did Jia Pingan say that he would give up such an idea?
"Scatter them, and whenever a man is strong, send troops to defeat him."
Jia Ping'an turned around, "Turks are Turks, and only by recognizing this can we find the best way to deal with it."
Those Turkic people who felt that they had temporarily bowed their heads to rule the tribe would be over. Turks would bow their heads to Datang from now on, and they would be beaten by reality.
"Khan."
Jia Ping'an suddenly had a pleasant face.
Ashina Helu shuddered, "Please tell me."
At that time, 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 Xianggong like this?"
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 didn't know!
"Pearl leaf protection..."
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 title 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."
"There is 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 handed over to you." Let him rule."
Ashina Helu was stunned.
Shangguanyi snorted, and blurted out: "Two peaches kill three soldiers!"
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 that this is 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 battle 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 he made a statement before this battle, to get rid of 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, respectively telling the four most promising people, 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 don't do it.
Jia Ping'an's "Two Peaches Kill Three Soldiers" is out.
After all, Ashina Helu has been a khan for many years, and he immediately understood Jia Pingan's intentions, and his spine shivered.
If it is said that he still had some incomprehensible contempt for the famous Tang Dynasty general in front of him before, now he wants to poke his own eyes blind.
Vicious!
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 completely naked.
"Many people in the court said 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 trembled.
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 Tibetans?"
"Yes, but before the old man went to battle, people covered the surrounding area and no one else was allowed to enter. If the Tibetans want to get detailed information about this battle, they may have to 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 Ping'an 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 look is calm and breezy.
Ashina Helu is 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 could not come, Empress Wu presided over the discussion.
Xu Jingzong said: "After the 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. The next opponent of the Tang Dynasty is Tubo."
Liu Rengui said: "Yes, Datang should stare at Tubo at this moment, looking for an opportunity to fight decisively."
"But the Turkic suppression is endless, what's the matter? Even if it can't become a threat within ten years, what about ten years later?"
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!
But anyone who has become a treasurer will be like this.
Ahem!
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 doze off.
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, 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 Tang Dynasty will send out a large army to suppress it every once in a while." This is Li Yifu's suggestion.
Liu Rengui sneered: "I'm afraid Li Xiang has never fought before?"
Are you **** mocking this old man?
Li Yifu still smiled, "Yes! I regret not being able to carry a knife to kill the Tang Dynasty's enemies."
Liu Rengui said: "Then Li Xiang naturally doesn't know the disadvantages of sending troops 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 all about these things.
"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.
is indeed a man of work!
Empress Wu secretly praised.
Liu Rengui is reasonable and does not forgive others, "These military ministers think that those who don't know the battlefield should not speak up, so as not to harm the country."
Li Yifu couldn't hold on to his smile anymore.
Liu Rengui, old dog!
Empress Wu smiled very easily, "I know Liu Qing's words."
This is the meaning of "read".
Liu Rengui looked at the crowd, "The future of the Turks, the old man thinks that we should not only keep an eye on it, but also fight with one faction to create opponents for the Turks..."
good!
Empress Wu said appreciatively: "I deeply agree with what Liu Qing said, what do you think?"
A group of old ghosts were ashamed and silent.
Liu Rengui is shining again!
Since entering the court, Liu Rengui observed for a while, and when everyone thought that a harmless colleague had come, he made a move.
Refutation!
This is the method Liu Rengui uses the most.
Whenever Chaoyi 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, but he often ignored it before.
This little old man's temperament is not flattering, but his ability to do things is not to mention, 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 am not targeting Li Xiang."
In the eyes of this old man, everyone here is rubbish.
Liu Rengui's desire for fame and fame is too hot.
Li Ji opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the arrogant Liu Rengui, and closed his eyes again.
This kind of people can't tolerate anyone who is stronger than themselves, otherwise they will not only try to catch up, but also deal with this person.
Narrow-minded!
This is Li Ji's evaluation of Liu Rengui.
But this is a capable official.
Of course Empress Wu knew about 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, the 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 would beat Master Jia severely, but she dared not lie.
"Queen, Zhao Guogong met someone who abducted the **** the road, and took people to track it down."
"Pingan always hates evil like this."
Empress Wu instantly changed his face, looking kind.
Empress Wu asked, "How is Ashina Helu?"
Liu Rengui went on to say: "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 the four leaders of the remnants."
Huh!
What weird thing came in?
There is something jumping in Liu Rengui's mind, but he can'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 unify 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 soldiers, Cai!"
Shangguanyi felt that the atmosphere was not right.
It stands to reason that Li Yifu should oppose and ridicule what Jia Pingan does, but looking at Li Yifu's expression, he is actually gratified and happy.
Is the old man getting old? Even dazzled!
What happened to Liu Rengui? He looked resentful.
Empress Wu's eyes were bright, "But the letters of the four people are all like this?"
"yes!"
Shangguanyi was ashamed to say that Master Jia's move was unplanned.
Liu Rengui stood up, "Queen, my minister's advice is not as good as Zhao Guogong's strategy."
Huh!
Liu Rengui, a defiant little old man, would actually bow his head to Jia Ping'an?
Empress Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I know all about the political affairs. You have a strategy for peace, but you are not as prudent as you when you can do things."
Empress Wu knew how to behave.
Praised the prime ministers with some words, and pulled down the hatred value for Jia Pingan.
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 the child grows up, he naturally cannot stay in the palace. This is a rule of thumb.
When Emperor Gaozu was Emperor Gaozu, because the prince couldn't help coming and going, there were scandals about the late emperor and Emperor Gaozu's concubines.
Prince said: "Aniang, Liulang is still young, please stay a little longer."
This son!
Do you know the consequences of staying longer?
Liulang grows up gradually, he will witness the power of your elder brother, he will be envious and jealous, and then the brothers turn against each other...
