Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the world. The current Goguryeo is probably one step from heaven and one step from hell.

With the passing of King Rongliu, Goguryeo will fall into a huge chaos.

There is no doubt that Liaodong will calm down in the next few years.

Following Shu An's explanation, Li Shimin's eyes also began to gradually brighten, as if Goguryeo could no longer affect the situation in Liaodong.

You must know that this emperor was worried before, whether the fall of King Rongliu would make Goguryeo go crazy.

Then it is not impossible to attack the entire Datang defense line.

"One day, I will lead an army into Pyongyang!"

Li Shimin's complexion showed a trace of determination and whispered softly.

Although after the start of the war this time, Datang will no longer be able to continue to send troops in the next few years, and needs to recuperate.

But there will always be a day when he will return. The current emperor is still young and can afford to wait.

This time, he was finally elated, but the experience of the previous three days also left a deep impression on the emperor.

There are still many regrets in the end, such as not stepping into the border of Goguryeo.

Counting it, this is the first time he has personally conquered Goguryeo, and it is inevitable that he will be compared with Yang Guang.

But there are indeed some differences. At the beginning, Yang Guang captured at least half of Goguryeo.

Of course, Li Shimin also comforted himself by thinking that Yang Guang had conquered Goguryeo three times but failed to win.

Next time, he will not take Goguryeo like Yang Guang did.

Shu An at the side naturally also heard the bold words of the emperor.

There is only a faint smile on his face, but the history is going to the next generation.

When Li Shimin was alive, he did not destroy Goguryeo, but it is not necessarily the case in this life.

The current form of the Tang Dynasty is very good, although Goguryeo is a stumbling block.

But it is definitely not as difficult as in history, and the death of King Rongliu has changed the original trajectory.

After this topic was finished, it seemed to fall into a strange silence.

Li Shimin seemed to have something to ask, but he didn't know how to say it.

As for Shu An's words, he didn't pay attention to them, instead his gaze fell into the distance.

Appreciate this rare scenery beyond the Great Wall, you must know that it is basically difficult for future generations to see such natural scenery.

Compared with later generations, there are not so many artificial traces.

And the most important thing is that after he returns to Chang'an this time, it may be difficult for him to come to the land of Liaodong again.

Although he is in good spirits now, he is still clear about his physical comfort.

In the future, it will definitely not be able to withstand such a tiring journey, so it is basically impossible for Liaodong to come again.

"Yafu, I don't know what the thing that laid the trap is."

Just as Shu An's thoughts were racing, the emperor's words finally sounded, asking out his inner doubts.

Chapter 592 Anticipation, a trace of anger

After the emperor finished speaking, the corners of Shu An's mouth curled up slightly, as if he wasn't surprised by this question.

Or he was waiting for Li Shimin to ask this question.

For Shu An, gunpowder had already been used once before, but Xue Rengui didn't explore it.

As for Li Shimin, it was different. This time, he used gunpowder in front of the emperor.

It would be a problem if Li Shimin didn't ask, but Shu An didn't care either.

Because the matter of gunpowder always needs to be known, and it is not a bad thing to hand it over to this emperor.

Of course, gunpowder must be used properly. After all, in some places, gunpowder is still very useful.

In fact, Shu An thought that Li Shimin would ask about it earlier, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

It can be said that Li Shimin is very calm, but no matter how calm he is, he still cannot escape the charm of gunpowder.

"The name of this thing is gunpowder, and the people of Weili Shimin have seen it before."

"Shimin can still see those Taoist priests in the past. Gunpowder is my idea."

"But it was made by these people. Without the cooperation of these people, it would not be so easy."

......

Since there was no intention to hide it, naturally Shu An's voice sounded faintly.

Anyway, for him, there is no difference between talking early and going to bed late.

Shu An also spoke out about the advantages and disadvantages of gunpowder, but of course Shu An still had reservations.

That's the bronze cannon. After all, no one knows what a cannon is except him.

But even if it was just gunpowder, Li Shimin's eyes flickered, revealing a lot of light.

Although there are many restrictions, the power of gunpowder makes this emperor very jealous.

Eyes are hot, but if he wants to get it from Yafu, the emperor has some hesitation on his face.

Obviously it's not easy to say this, which made Shu An roll his eyes.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, I don't want to speak, but I want to take things.

Of course, if this emperor is placed in other places, others will definitely send it to his door.

But unfortunately, it was Shu An who met him. If this emperor didn't speak, then he wanted to keep silent.

"I don't know if Yafu can teach me how to make gunpowder."

Sure enough, it was Li Shimin who lost the battle in the end, and the emperor finally spoke up with some embarrassment.

"If you want to learn, it's not impossible, but I hope Shimin can give you some convenience in some things."

The smile on Shu An's face became thicker and he said, maybe to tease this emperor.

It can be regarded as one of his few small interests, but he is the most honorable person in this era.

There are really not many places where people can ask for help, but it is a pity that this special case was broken when he came here.

"Even if there is no gunpowder, I will agree to Yafu's request."

Li Shimin said with a hint of joy on his face, this condition is nothing to him.

Obtaining gunpowder was easier than he imagined. Of course, this was the result of thanking Yafu for not embarrassing him.

"After returning to Chang'an, Shimin can send someone to contact Kuanghu."

Shu An shook his head slightly and said without saying anything.

Just as Li Shimin didn't like to owe favors to others, he also didn't want to owe favors to this emperor.

So it's better to make it clear now, and if the cannon becomes successful in the future.

It still needs Li Shimin's cooperation, so it's better to sell a favor.

"As Yafu said."

Naturally, Li Shimin would not object to Shu An's words. Although he wanted gunpowder, he was not in a hurry.

"Shimin has received news about the grassland."

At this moment, Shu An suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help asking.

It is very important to know the decisive battle in the grassland, which is related to the future direction of Datang.

Compared with Liaodong, the importance is far more than that, so Shu An naturally paid attention.

And his disciple Xue Rengui is also on the grassland.

"I haven't received the final result on the grassland situation yet."

"However, Datang still has an absolute advantage in the situation."

"Of course Xue Yantuo in the grassland is not considered a vegetarian, and many soldiers also fell in it."

......

Li Shimin spoke slowly, and told Yafu some things he knew.

This emperor was also concerned about the grassland, and he did not forget his purpose before coming to Liaodong.

It is to prevent Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo from uniting, so naturally they will not relax their attention on the grassland.

However, because of the long distance, message delivery is not so easy.So Li Shimin doesn't know the situation on the grassland now.

Some news that came before did not worry the emperor much.

"Ok!"

Shu An nodded and said, he didn't have much thought about this matter.

Because everything went according to plan, except for the accident of Liaodong, now the accident has also been made up.

It depends on Tang Jun's performance in the grassland. After thinking of this, Shu An didn't worry too much.

"I don't know what the people of the world want to do if they capture the grassland?"

But Shu An didn't let go of Li Shimin's plan, and continued to ask.

Being able to defeat one moment doesn't mean defeating one lifetime, Shu An from later generations knows better than anyone else.

"How to deal with the grassland?"

Li Shimin, who heard Yafu's words, couldn't help being stunned, as if he didn't expect to ask this question.

"Isn't Xue Yantuo taken back, similar to the Turks?"

Without thinking, Li Shimin replied directly, as long as he thought about it, it would be enough to subdue Xue Yantuo.

A black line appeared on Shu An's complexion, as expected, he knew the result before.

"Does Shimin think Xue Yantuo will be convinced under such circumstances?"

"Maybe there won't be any incidents within a few decades, but it's hard to guarantee that there won't be other meanings after a hundred years."

Shu An's voice sounded a little angry, as if there was a trace of anger.

Even Li Shimin was a little surprised, and didn't feel dissatisfied because of this trace of anger.

Because in his eyes, this Yafu has always been a calm person.

On the contrary, he is very persistent on this issue, but Li Shimin is not a pedantic person.

Faced with Yafu's words, he also fell into deep thought, even he had to admit it.

What Yafu said makes sense. You must know that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the grassland was a problem, and it was solved many times.

However, up to now, the grassland is still a problem and has not been solved.

As if it were a cycle, there was no guarantee that after a few years, the grassland would not become a threat again.

"I don't know if Yafu has any advice."

Fortunately, facing the mistake, Li Shimin accepted it humbly, and couldn't help asking for advice with a hint of humility.

Chapter 593 Grassland vision, expected

There are many thoughts about the grassland in later generations, but at that time it was already very difficult to do anything.

On the contrary, this problem does not exist in this era, and there is a way to deal with the grassland, Shu An is very much in favor of it.

"Bring the entire grassland into the territory of Datang."

Shu An's faint voice sounded, and there was a hint of determination in his words.

Although looking at it in this era, the grassland seems to have nothing but foreigners.

For example, the northern grasslands can't grow food and the like. This is the impression of many people in Datang that the grasslands are uneducated places.

After the voice fell, the emperor didn't have the idea of ​​objecting immediately, but was thinking about it.
