Chapter 580: Khitan Prisoners Used as Chess Pieces

Bacharcha is just a general who leads elite troops. He has never been trained in professional deception.

Li Yi was familiar with this kind of business. He always felt that if he were reborn in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he would definitely be able to control everything.

At that time, it was all politicians and lobbyists.

In fact, it is diplomacy and deception.

The opponent he faced now was just the leader of an elite Khitan force. The Khitan was sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

The tribes are clearly unable to unite as one, and their strategic goals are unclear.

At the same time, Khitan was suppressed by the Turks. It was actually a country over there, called Zhenguo, but it was not called Zhenguo, but Bohai.

The Bohai Sea does not only refer to the sea, but also a country that is not a country.

At least not in name.

The current leader of Bohai is called Da Zuorong. He is showing favor to Datang while growing stronger.

That's where the Khitan wanted to gain more living space, get rid of the Turks, and move towards the Tang Dynasty.

What Li Yi really wants to capture is all the tribes and lands in that area.

Bacharcha didn't know what Li Yi was planning. He ate delicious food and listened to Li Yi continue to describe the wonderful blueprint for coming to Khitan.

After they finished eating, Li Yi took them directly into Zhuangzi and placed them in a monitored place.

They didn't know there was surveillance, so they got new bedding and moved into a house with bunk beds and several beds.

Three hundred and ninety people were moved and found that Datang was really good.

In the afternoon, before dusk, Li Longji's family came over.

First, he took the child for a physical check-up. If nothing happened, Queen Wang took the child to rest. Li Longji went to the study with Li Yi alone.

"Brother Yi has arrested someone, should he be treated well?" Li Longji was very straightforward and went straight to the point.

Li Yi shook his head: "Use these people to drive a wedge between the Turks, Khitan and Bohai. There are no political figures among them. Treat them well and show off to others."

Li Yi said, taking out the map and pointing to the locations on it.

"Third brother, you see, the Khitans have taken refuge with the Turks. The Turks have power in the surrounding area and have joined forces with Tibet.

Further here is the Bohai County King who was conferred by His Majesty. In order to mobilize manpower, the Tang Dynasty wanted to use the Bohai County King to contain other tribes.

If the Bohai County Prince becomes powerful, the entire northern part of Hebei Province and further to the northeast will have no power from the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Yi spoke slowly, and Li Longji frowned as he listened.

"Brother Yi is saying that those areas in the northern part of Hebei Province cannot be given away?"

Li Longji understood it, and at the same time felt that it was in conflict with the established national policy.

"No, the naval forces in the Bohai Sea area must not be withdrawn. They must be strengthened and manpower will be transferred from Henan Province to Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places."

Li Yi looked serious and placed his finger on the Shandong area where he was at that time.

Li Longji closed his eyes and meditated, and after a moment: "Brother Yi, you want to provoke a fight between the Turks and the Khitan. Will Bohai Da Zuorong react when he finds out that the Tang Dynasty is close to the Khitan?"

"In winter, he can't do anything he wants to do. When summer comes, it's a different situation." Li Yi shook his head.

"Will Da Zuorong have problems in the future?" Li Longji thought of some special situations of Li Yi.

"Ever since the Wuhu rebellion in China, all the tribes no longer have any respect for the Central Plains. They all think that they can influence the situation in the Central Plains, just like Qin losing its deer."

The most fundamental thing Li Yi said was later confirmed by history.

After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, surrounding tribes rose up, including the Shatuo tribe, which is currently very small.

Thus entering the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, after the Song Dynasty came out, the surrounding areas attacked again.

Now the bullied Khitan has become the Liao Kingdom.

After fighting and fighting for many years, the Yuan Dynasty came out.

After finally destroying the Yuan Dynasty, it became the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty emerged from there in the northeast.

Can I not occupy this place? Give them a chance?

"The situation will become chaotic." Li Longji completely understood that Li Yi wanted to disrupt the situation.

On the one hand, it is targeting the Tibetans, southwestern barbarians, and Turks, and on the other hand, it wants to bring in a lot of tribes in the northern part of Hebei Province.

"Chaos is beneficial. Everyone is in chaos. Let's see who can judge the situation more accurately during the chaos."

Li Yi smiled, very relaxed.

In his mind were the Tang Dynasty, northern Hebei Province, the grasslands above, Turpan over there, the Himalayas to the northwest, and the jungles to the southwest.

Every tribe is placed there, and he knows who is doing what.

Chaos means placing small flags on the map, looking at them one by one, sorting them out, and rewarding those who should be rewarded, intimidating those who should be threatened, and fighting those who should be fought.

There are also the Umayyad dynasty and Tianzhu who lived in white clothes and feasted on food. The island country was in the Nara era.

Who can match his understanding of the current situation? If there is no chaos, how can we fight with the forces within Datang?

"What should we do next?" Li Longji's mind was in a mess, so he asked.

"Publish in newspapers how good the relationship between Datang and Khitan is, saying that I am willing to provide education and financial support to Khitan."

Li Yi pretended that he really thought about the Khitans.

"Give me this map and I'll find someone to draw it." Li Longji rolled up the map himself and hurried away with it.

He returned to the imperial city and summoned three prime ministers urgently.

Yao and Chong were about to get off work and ran to Xingqing Hall again.

Li Longji unfolded the map: "Li Yi said..."

He said it again in his own words.

"In that case, the Turks are likely to question the Khitan, and Bohai will be on guard. The Khitan will be tricked."

After hearing this, Yao Chong made a plan in his mind.

Although the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty were in a hostile situation, Li Yi played a strategy of cutting off diplomatic relations.

Zhang Shuo helped to come up with an idea: "Our dynasty should take the initiative to reward the Khitan and see how the Khitan responds."

Lu Huaishen followed up with a voice: "In winter, the Turks cannot send troops to the Khitan. The Khitan should consider it and weigh the interests of all parties. The water was muddied by Li Yi."

Originally, when they heard the news, they thought that Li Yi was stupid and could not judge the situation clearly.

Only now did they understand that Li Yi had made many preparations and was attacking from all possible aspects.

No matter what the Khitan side chose, Li Yi would teach the captives some purposeful knowledge.

The Khitan was dealt with, and these people were released to help the remaining Khitan tribes to build and continue to fight.

If the Khitan held on, these people would be released to help the Khitan and carry out reforms in the Khitan according to Li Yi's plan.

Either the Khitan fights outside or the Khitan fights inside, and by the way, the people of the Tang Dynasty can be exchanged back.

Yao Chong pondered for a while: "If they attack the Tang Dynasty, what should we do?"

"We can't fight in winter. Wait until summer, when the navy has more money, we can land on the coast at any time to cut off the enemy's supply channel."

Li Longji drew a line on the map, and pointed out the Bohai Bay and the rivers flowing into the Bohai Sea.

"Old!" Lu Huaishen sighed. He found that Li Yi's grasp of the overall situation was no longer something they could consider.

The Khitan made a wrong move. The people sent were captured, and Li Yi used them directly to provoke the relationship between the Turks and the Khitan.

The strategy is to push forward one step at a time, and change it when there is a change.

The only thing they paid was a little bit of food. Three hundred and ninety captives, eating meat and drinking every day, could they still make Li Yi broke?

"A man of statecraft." Zhang Shuo gave his evaluation.
