I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 287 There is something strange happening in the southern border

Maybe this sentence is a bit bold, but it has to be said.

Hear this.

Li Shimin was silent.

After a long time.

"According to you, the so-called country that does not conquer is a king who will harm future generations."

"If we don't dispel their wariness now and put troops on guard at the border, we will be in serious trouble on the border of Datang over time." Li Shimin frowned and said.

"The future king must think about the future."

"Although the Emperor is not the founder of the country, you single-handedly conquered the Tang Dynasty. You are equivalent to the founding king of the country. Although you think long-term, won't there be changes in future generations?"

"Time is the biggest variable."

"Even if the emperor is a wise man, it is impossible for him to arrange everything properly, and it may even harm future generations." Li Zheng said.

"Then if there is trouble at the border, how are you going to deal with it?" Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Li Zheng and asked.

"Our Tang Dynasty is so powerful, am we still afraid of them?"

"If they dare to offend, then destroy them, make a name for themselves, and expand the territory."

"Your Majesty, you haven't figured out the key to the problem yet. It's not that the Tang Dynasty is afraid of these foreign tribes, but that they are afraid of the Tang Dynasty."

"Why does Datang want to give in to them? Instead of dealing with them majestically?"

"As long as they are afraid and respectful, they will not dare to attack." Li Zheng said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this.

Li Shimin was shocked.

It was like an enlightenment.

"Yes!"

"You are right, I was wrong."

"Now that all nations are coming to court, it is they who are afraid of our Tang Dynasty, but not my Tang Dynasty who is afraid of them."

"Why should I give in to them?"

"The so-called non-conquest of the country only fueled their arrogance. I'm afraid they will become even more unscrupulous in their actions against the Tang Dynasty in the future. My imperial edict of not conquering will also become an obstacle to future generations of kings." Li Shimin nodded, as if he completely thought about it. pass.

"exactly."

"So."

"There is no need to worry about these foreign countries at all. If they dare to invade, just destroy them."

"I am willing to lead the army to conquer." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Seeing Li Shimin's brows relax, he also became a lot more relaxed. At least it seemed that this country without conquests would not appear in the Law of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Can't you just think about staying in Chang'an City? Why do you insist on going out?"

Li Shimin's heart sank when he heard that Li Zheng was thinking about going to the battlefield.

It's been so long, but I still haven't taken this kid's heart back.

Even Li Shimin couldn't understand why Chang'an City was so prosperous and full of all kinds of things to enjoy, why his prince always didn't understand and had to go to the border and go to the battlefield.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have been sleeping for more than a month. When can I let you go back to Youzhou?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

"go away."

"Youzhou is very peaceful now. There is no war, so just stay with me."

"Have I wronged you by letting you stay in Chang'an City?" Li Shimin said angrily.

At this time.

Wang Hao walked quickly into the hall.

"I see your Majesty." Wang Hao knelt down.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin regained his seriousness and looked at him and asked.

"The envoys from Nanzhao and Zhenla all want to see the emperor." Wang Hao said respectfully. "Why do they want to see me?"

"Is there any friction between them?" Li Shimin frowned.

"According to the information obtained by bad people, the Zhenla Kingdom has launched troops against the Nanzhao Kingdom with the intention of annexing the entire Nanzhao."

"The envoys from these two countries want to see the emperor. The answer is obvious. The Zhenla Kingdom wants us to sit back and watch and not take action. The Nanzhao Kingdom must want the Tang Dynasty to protect it and even send troops to solve the crisis." Wang Hao said respectfully.

"Zhenla, Nanzhao."

"This is where Jiangxia King Li Daozong is guarding."

"It seems that King Jiangxia can no longer rest." A look of disappointment appeared on Li Shimin's face.

Since Yuchi Jingde and Li Daozong were recalled to Chang'an, they were accompanied by their grandchildren and the emperor reviewed the memorials, which made Li Shimin feel like he was back to the past.

But after all, there is no banquet that lasts forever.

There may be chaos on the southwestern border of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Daozong doesn't take charge, something may go wrong.

"Zhenla, Nanzhao."

"war."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes, but there was a kind of expectation in his eyes.

Now that there will be no war in Northern Xinjiang for the time being, Li Zheng also lost the perfect opportunity to kill the enemy and upgrade.

After all, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed DTZ, even though it has been almost two years, the grievances in northern Xinjiang have not recovered. On the contrary, some Western Turks moved westward, some submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and some remained restless, conquering and attacking each other. There will be no war in the north during this time.

"Summon Li Daozong." Li Shimin ordered Wang Hao.

"I accept the order." Wang Hao immediately stood up and retreated.

"The war is about to start again on the border."

"Zhenla and Nanzhao have been big enemies for many years. They have been going back and forth with each other, and each has his own victory or defeat. When Nanzhao was originally the king of Nanzhao, Nanzhao's national power became weak and became no longer He is Zhenla's opponent." Li Shimin suddenly said.

"It's okay for Zhenla and Nanzhao to check and balance each other. If one of them were to unify, it would not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng said directly.

"You're right."

"The population of Zhenla is five million, and the population of Nanzhao is no less than four million. Although it is far less than that of the Tang Dynasty, if they are allowed to become a country, sooner or later they will be a problem for the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin frowned. 's nodded.

"It's better to wait until King Jiangxia comes to discuss it. He guards the southern border and knows much more than the bad guys."

"And there is no need for the emperor to worry. Whether it is Zhenla or Nanzhao, it is nothing to worry about for our Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded seriously.

Not a moment.

Li Daozong walked into the hall dressed in casual clothes.

"Brother, please see your Majesty."

After Li Daozong arrived, he immediately bowed to Li Shimin.

"If you are flat, I will give you a seat." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Wang De, the head chamberlain, left and brought a chair and placed it next to Li Zheng.

Li Daozong stood up slowly, then walked over and sat down.

"Daozong, do you know what I'm teaching you to do?" Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Brother Imperial, is there something going on in the south?"

"Zhenla, Nanzhao?" Li Daozong immediately grasped the key to the matter.

"Zhenla has sent troops to attack Nanzhao." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"My brother has already expected this, but I didn't expect them to do it so quickly."

"Both Zhenla and Nanzhao are not at peace now."

"Especially Nanzhao. Since the death of King Pipondu, his general Luo Keina established himself as king and took control of Nanzhao. However, people's hearts are divided. Although he has gained great power, his national power has weakened."

"But Chenla's so-called little emperor was controlled by the powerful minister Kunsha, and his power fell away."
