Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 87

Li Cha listened carefully to Li Shimin's explanation of the current situation on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and finally shook his head and said, "Second brother, your reason cannot convince me. This cannot be the reason for you to send the Xinxing princess to make peace."

"Why did I put the fief in the former Turkic royal court, and I personally led the [-] soldiers of the Polu army to guard there. The gang of sour scholars in the court may not be able to see it, but you and those old generals Can’t you imagine that? The Polu Army and I are guarding the northern gate of our Great Tang. You all know that with me there, no force from the north will be able to enter our Great Tang’s territory.”

Li Cha looked into Li Shimin's eyes and said seriously.

He didn't believe that Li Shimin couldn't see his purpose of stationing troops in the Turkic court.

"Third brother, how can the second brother not know your intentions, but the court ministers are right, the time for the establishment of the Polu Army is still too short after all. Not only your Polu Army, but also my Tang Dynasty. The national strength. We have calculated accurately, and now we only need three to five years in Datang."

"Now my Tang Dynasty has a new high-yielding grain, the people no longer need to be hungry, and the soldiers don't need to farm the land anymore, they just need to train with peace of mind, plus new training methods, including your wind special The training methods of the clan are being implemented by the entire army. There are also various new inventions that are beneficial to people's livelihood that are constantly appearing in the academy."

"Give me another three to five years in Datang, and I, Datang, will truly have the ability to overwhelm the whole world in terms of national power and military."

"That's why Princess Xinxing made the decision to marry Xue Yantuo. This marriage is to win the three to five years of the world for me, Datang."

"I don't really want to marry the princess. The marriage of the new princess is just an introduction. It is an introduction to the melee of foreign races, and this plan has succeeded."

"Third brother, do you know the true meaning of my Princess Datang's marriage to a foreigner? Princess Xinxing's marriage to Xue Yantuo means that on behalf of Datang, I have recognized the status of Zhenzhu Khan Xue Yantuo tribe as a vassal state. On behalf of the Xue Yantuo tribe, I have obtained peace Datang's support."

"Then, I deliberately let people release the news in front of powerful tribal forces like Tuyuhun and Tubo. Are they not in a hurry? So Tuyuhun also sent envoys to ask for marriage. I didn't give the exact news."

"My real target is Tubo. The leader of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo, sent his prime minister, Lu Dongzan, to propose four years ago. This time, after hearing that I would marry the new princess Xue Yantuo, he sent another envoy to propose marriage. , but I directly rejected it."

"Then I asked the people in Tubo to release the news that Zongzan Gambo believed that Tang Dynasty did not recognize the existence of Tubo because he was alienated by Tuyuhun and Turks."

"You probably know the following things. Tubo sent troops to Tuyuhun. They drove them to the north of Qinghai. They then broke through Dangxiang and Bailan and defeated them. Next, Songtsan Gampo will continue to fight with the Turkic Xue Yantuo The Horde is dead."

Li Shimin told Li Cha in detail the real intention of this new princess marriage.Hearing this, Li Cha was dumbfounded.

It turned out that in Li Cha's eyes, it had always represented the weakness of a country, and the behavior of exchanging a weak woman for peace in the country had so many intentions.There are so many twisted intestines in this group of people.

After listening to Li Shimin's explanation, Li Cha had to admit that if he thought about it differently, sitting in Li Shimin's position and using a daughter to marry in exchange for so many benefits, from a rational point of view, he was indeed using the smallest price to get maximum profit.

Understandable and understandable, Li Cha still can't accept that his niece's life's happiness is exchanged for the stable development of Datang in the past three to five years.He still likes to go straight, if you dare to call in, I can call you out.Sooner or later, you will be scared, and you will never dare to invade Datang again.

"Second brother, although I admit that what you said is reasonable, I still don't agree. The enemy is here to fight. It's not like we don't have the strength now, so why should I trade my niece's life's happiness for it?"

"Two years ago, I advised you not to fight lightly. It was because years of melee caused the people to suffer unspeakably. To go to the battlefield is to die."

"Now our soldiers are all full-time. They don't fight. Why do we raise so many troops? Since they dare to invade, we can fight them out." Li Cha said to Li Shimin.

"Third brother, I understand what you said. I just want to use the smallest price in exchange for the greatest benefit. Xinxing is my daughter, so I don't feel bad? But if I can use her happiness alone to exchange my Da Tang Wan For the lives of thousands of soldiers, I can do it without hesitation."

"Second brother, it is destiny for a man to fight in all directions and die in battle. It is even a kind of honor. We will be despised by future generations by sacrificing a weak woman." Li Cha said with a sigh.

"It's useless to say these things now. The news was released by me. You have no jokes. No matter how reluctant you are, I can only feel sorry for this daughter. I can only do well in the less than a year before Xinxing gets married. Make it up to her, and then send her to Xue Yantuo gracefully." Li Shimin also said with the same low interest.

"Besides, third brother, I made a mistake. Although I sacrificed the happiness of Xiao Shiwu's newfound happiness, I did get a melee from foreign races. However, Lu Dongzan, the prime minister behind Tubo Songtsan Gampo, is a master."

"It's not that Tubo didn't attack other Turkic tribes after defeating Tuyuhun and Dangxiang. Instead, they stationed 20 troops on the Songzhou border of our Tang Dynasty and harassed our border of Tang Dynasty from time to time. This is to force me to agree to his marriage proposal. what."

"This battle will be fought in the end. It is I who ruined the happiness of Xiao Shiwu Xinxing's life." Li Shimin said regretfully.

"Let me just say, if you do this, there are some results, but it's not worth it. Later generations don't know your real intentions for getting married, and they will only scold me for being weak. It is a weak woman who maintains the two countries." Relationship." Li Cha said.

"Hehe, I can't control the mouths of future generations, as long as people who understand me can agree with me. Who can tell what is soft and what is hard. Now I am doing nothing for Xiao Shiwu. , as my daughter, but she has to make such a big sacrifice, she might as well be born in an ordinary family." Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

"Second brother, I still have a solution for the matter of Xiao Shiwu Xinxing princess. Compared with your harmful and crooked intestines, I definitely can't compare with it. The marriage of a Tang princess can make you all have a foreign melee Come."

"But when it comes to making trouble, I'm the best at it. I can't marry my niece in Xue Yantuo. Don't worry." Li Cha said with a smile.

"Third brother, you can't let your temper fool you in matters between countries. I have already promised this marriage, and you are not joking. If you mess around, where is my majesty? Where is the reputation of the Tang Dynasty? ?” Li Shimin hastily told Li Cha not to let him mess around.

"Second brother, I won't mess around with things related to my reputation in Tang Dynasty. I do have a solution, but I just don't want to tell you right now. You regret it for a while. Save yourself and then do something like exchanging the princess for benefits." Li Cha said with a smile again.

"Third brother, the second brother admits that the second brother did something stupid this time. If you have a way, please help your poor little niece. The second brother really doesn't want to marry her far outside the Great Wall. The second brother also My heart hurts." Li Shimin said in a tone that he thought was weak.

"Then second brother will use my Tang princess or clan daughter to make marriages with foreigners in the future?" Li Cha asked.

"This" Li Shimin really couldn't answer.He doesn't want to, but he can't guarantee it.Beginning with Emperor Wudi Xijun and Princess Xijun of the Han Dynasty, marriage has always been the only way for Han people to make friends with each other at a distance, unite with a second country, and attack a third country.

"Forget it, I'll talk to you about this matter later, and even in a few years, with the national power of my Great Tang, all foreign races have been included in my Great Tang's territory, and you have no chance to get married." Li Cha didn't say anything again. Forcing Li Shimin to express his opinion.

"Second brother, let me ask you, when our Xinxing princess gets married, will Xue Yantuo bring a large amount of dowry?" Li Cha asked with a smirk.

"That's for sure. My princess married far away from the Great Wall. You don't have enough dowry to show your sincerity. How could I agree? Where will I put my face? Where is my face in Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin blurted out the words in his heart.

"Hahaha, that's easy. Second brother, don't worry, the green forest hero of Tang Dynasty will never let the bride price of Zhenzhu Khan of Xue Yantuo tribe reach Chang'an City. No matter how many people he sends to escort him. Hahaha .” Li Cha laughed loudly.

"It's you... third brother, I really have you." After hearing Li Cha's words, Li Shimin shook his head and smiled wryly.There is no way to take myself as the third brother.However, the trace of guilt towards Xinxing Princess in my heart has completely dissipated.He knew that his little fifteen, Princess Xinxing, did not need to marry far away from beyond the Great Wall.

"Hahaha, how about the second brother? He doesn't have a betrothal gift, so how dare he marry my princess from Tang Dynasty. The betrothal gift is not enough, so we won't marry! In terms of making trouble, you are still far behind." Li Cha was given by his own idea. It made me laugh out loud.
