Li Shimin received the memorial from Asunasmo on the way back. After reading the memorial, Li Shimin was silent for a long time. Then he closed the memorial and walked out of the room alone, looked up at the moon, and was silent in a daze.

After the Turkic matter was resolved, Li Shimin thought he could calm down for at least a few months. But unexpectedly, the trouble would come so soon.

Xue Yantuo!

After leaving a Turk, another Xueyantuo came.

Xueyantuo was originally one of the Tiel tribes, and was formed by the merger of Xue and Yantuo tribes. Xueyantuo's ancestors once lived with the tribes of the "Xue" surname, and later annexed the tribes called "Yantuo", so they were called "Xueyantuo". The official system and customs were roughly the same as those of the Turks.

During the Daye period of Emperor Yang of Sui, the Eastern Turks were powerful, and the Tiel tribes living in the northern desert belonged to it. At that time, the Eastern Turks were extremely taxed, and the Tiel tribes had complaints. After hearing these complaints, Chuluo was furious and killed more than 100 Chief Tiel. The Tiel tribes then rebelled with force, and jointly recommended the leader of Qibi Ge to be Yimozhen Mohe Khan, and the leader of Xueyantuo Yishubo was the little Khan of Yishu, and turned against the Western Turks and were hostile to the Eastern Turks.

When Li Shimin had just sat on the throne of the emperor, the Western Turks were in turmoil and Nishu fled. The leader of Xueyantuo Yi Nan led more than 70,000 households of his tribe to surrender to the Eastern Turks again. He originally expected that the Khan of the Eastern Turks could change from Chuluo to Jie Li, but he never expected that Jie Li was a more brutal person than Chuluo. Yi Nan had to lead his tribes and resist hard. Jie Li sent a large army to suppress him, but he did not expect that he was defeated by Yi Nan and even incorporated many Turkish tribes.

The victory of this battle completely changed the attitude of the Tiele family against the Turks. For the first time, they felt that the seemingly invincible Turks could actually be defeated. In the winter of that year, the Tiele family recommended Tiele's great hero Yi Nan to become Khan. Yi Nan dared not accept it and refused to accept it.

At that time, Li Shimin was preparing for the use of troops against the Eastern Turks, uniting all forces that could be united, and trying every means to weaken the Eastern Turks. The ministers discussed that they believed that uniting Xueyantuo would cause trouble for the Eastern Turks, involving their troops, and complying with the interests of the Tang Dynasty. So Li Shimin sent the guerrilla general Qiao Shiwang to secretly contact Yi Nan, and appointed Yi Nan as the pearl Piga Khan, and rewarded a lot of treasures. Yi Nan was very happy, so he agreed to take over the throne of the Great Khan, established the Xueyantuo Khan Kingdom, and established the Xueyantuo Khan at the foot of the Yu Governor of the Desert Mountain, and competed with the Eastern Turks. Because he accepted Li Shimin's enthronement, Xueyantuo naturally became an affiliated vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in the north of the desert.

After the founding of the Xueyantuo Khanate, a few nomadic tribes that were humiliated by the East and West Turks, such as Uighurs, Bayegu, Aduo, Tongluo, Pugu, and Wu, surrendered one after another. Xueyantuo's territory became larger and larger, reaching the east to the east to the West Turks, the west to the Shaji River in the south, and the north to the Julun River. The population exceeded 400,000, and the elite soldiers were 50,000.

As his strength expanded, Xue Yantuo's behavior became more and more unscrupulous. His attitude towards the Eastern Turks became more and more tough, and he even attacked and used troops many times. His attitude towards the Tang Dynasty also became arrogant as his ability improved. Li Shimin took into account the overall situation of destroying the Eastern Turks, but did not stop or punish them. Instead, he added more rewards, which made Yi Nan have an illusion that Xue Yantuo played an important role in the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, a large number of defeated Turkic tribes were homeless. They were unwilling to affiliate the Tang Dynasty, and they could not join the Western Turks, so they could only go north to join Xueyantuo. Moreover, after the war, Li Shimin placed the remnants of the Eastern Turks in the Hetao area. In this way, the Eastern Turks were equally important to the northern part of the Southern Turks. Xueyantuo took the opportunity to quickly expand his power and occupied most of the territory of the former Eastern Turks. He moved the Yaguan from Yu Dujun Mountain to the south of the Duluo River in the north of Duwei Jie Mountain, closer to the border of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Xueyantuo had 100,000 elite soldiers, reaching an unprecedented heyday.

At this time, Xue Yantuo's unjust intentions appeared. He did not respect the envoys of the Tang Dynasty as before. He often acted contemptuously and did not care about it.

Ashinasmo was able to agree so readily to the entrustment, which was largely because Xue Yantuo and Xue Yantuo became stronger and stronger, and they also coveted the plump grassland of Hetao. However, this grassland was originally a Turkic person. Even if it was not counted like this, when the East and West Turks had not yet split, this place was the place where the royal family was, and it was impossible to leave. Xue Yantuo wanted to grab this grassland and had to fight.

In recent months, friction has often happened. The Turks have never won once. Instead, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji's army approached, Xue Yantuo restrained a lot, and his troops retreated to the other side of the river, without having a head-on conflict with the Tang army.

After being attached, this group of Turks was the real people of the Tang Dynasty. If Xue Yantuo dared to harass her again, it would be equivalent to going to war with the Tang Dynasty. Although Xue Yantuo was powerful, it was only compared to the weak Eastern Turks now. When it faced the Tang Dynasty, Ashinasmo still firmly believed that the Tang Dynasty would definitely win.

This is the perspective of Asuna Smoo’s thinking about things, but for Li Shimin, he was not thinking about this.

In fact, as an opponent, Li Shimin never took Xue Yantuo seriously. Don’t look at how many elite soldiers Xue Yantuo has now. In Li Shimin’s eyes, he is just a native chicken and a dog, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

The reason is simple. Xue Yantuo is a typical tribal country, and the ethnic composition is very complex. It expands too fast and has a mixed mass of people. If the war goes well and the army whistles by, there is no problem. Once the war encounters a tough situation and the war becomes anxious, this loose tribal gathering country will soon collapse.

If you fight, Li Shimin doesn't need to worry too much. Li Ji led 20,000 people in his headquarters, which is enough to overturn Xue Yantuo's 100,000 people. Li Shimin is not afraid of beating, but is afraid of energies.

Whether it is Li Xiaogong or Li Ji, it is Li Shimin who is preparing to fight Goguryeo. In Li Shimin's eyes, Goguryeo is the only opponent. If he fights Xue Yantuo at this time, he will have to divide at least 20,000 people to fight Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo's territory is so large. If Yi Nan wants to drag it, it will be too easy to drag it for a year and a half. If he wants to use troops against Goguryeo next year, if these 20,000 people are missing, it may affect whether the war can be won.

Li Shimin regarded the war against Goguryeo as the last and most glorious battle of his life. He would not let Xue Yantuo ruin the hard-won victory.

This is one of them.
