Li Xiuning was not surprised by the attack. After all, she returned from Liaodong and knew about the threats from these alien races.

But it is too early now. You should know that the Tang Dynasty can wait for five or even ten years now.

At that time, Li Xiuning believed that under the leadership of this second brother, he would definitely be able to sweep away the alien races in the north.

At this time, Li Xiuning's thoughts were flying, and others didn't know it, but Li Shimin's eyes were always on Shu An.

"I don't know how Yafu will choose!"

Li Shimin thought silently that although he did not say too many words, his meaning was already expressed very clearly.

“In fact, winter seems to be good.”

This time also passed a lot, Shu An suddenly chuckled and said.

If it were the past, then Li Shimin hoped that the alien race would not invade in winter, but now Li Shimin does not have that many differences.

As for the reason, it is the function of cotton coats, and the soldiers in the border are also able to eat enough now.

Under such a dual situation, naturally, there was no case that soldiers lost their lives due to the cold in winter.

Even with sufficient food supply, elite troops like Xue Rengui also have winter training.

Of course, Xue Rengui has been taught by Shu An and is not unfamiliar with winter training.

Although some people think that Xue Rengui is asking for trouble, Xue Rengui has grown into a big tree by himself and is not something that anyone can shake.

However, the only disadvantage is that it consumes too much, fortunately, Xue Rengui can report to Li Shimin directly.

In terms of calculation, Li Shimin is the nominal leader of this elite soldier, and he still has many advantages in terms of cost.

Li Shimin frowned at first when he heard Yafu's words, but then he seemed to have some understanding.

This emperor didn't think so much before, and even in his opinion, it would be possible to start a war in any season, or to be confident.

But now I find that winter seems to be really good. If the reason is that ice and snow in the north will divide the areas one by one.

Those alien races are destined to be unable to unite. After all, it is not only difficult to move in the heavy snow, but also easy to lose their direction.

It is impossible for these alien races to unite, but one problem is that time seems to be in a hurry.

But if you don’t attack this winter, you will have to wait until the next year, which is not something for Li Shimin.

It seems that there is not much time for a year, but Li Shimin can't wait, but Li Shimin still doesn't understand where Fang Xi chose this father.

At this time, Shu An seemed to see the emperor's doubts, and his smile remained unchanged on his face, and then he slowly uttered a few words.

"Xue Yantuo!"

Even though the former Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan was already depressed in Chang'an, it does not mean that the Turkic have perished.

The current Eastern Turkic region was originally led by Yi Nan, the leader of Xueyantuo. If this continues, Shu'an knows that the leader of Xueyantuo will establish a Xueyantuo Khanate.

Although I surrendered to the Tang Dynasty now, the Turks were like a wolf that could not be fed.

Although the Xueyantuo Khanate was later destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, at that time Li Shimin was almost in his twilight years.

It also consumed a lot of national strength of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it would be better to take advantage of the attack now and take the lead in solving Xue Yantuo.

After the words were finished, Li Shimin's expression was the first to show a look of surprise. Unexpectedly, Yafu chose Xue Yantuo, the hardest to chew.

Among the northern alien races, Xue Yantuo is now the real king of the grassland, but because Xue Yantuo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before.

So Li Shimin also had a lot of concerns in terms of morality, so he wanted to attack the Liaodong region before.

Unexpectedly, this father Ya was more cruel than him, but instead wanted to attack Xue Yantuo directly at this time.

Li Shimin did not say anything at the first time, but continued to look at his father, wanting to listen to his explanation.

"The only one who can pose a real threat to the Tang Dynasty in the north is Xue Yantuo."

"There are still many conflicts between Xueyantuo and the Western Turks now, but I believe Xueyantuo will win."

"If the leader Xueyantuo is ambitious at that time, then joining the Uighurs, Bayegu, Adu and other tribes will likely become a major concern for the Tang Dynasty."

...........

Shu'an's explanation this time is very detailed, and any threatening possibility will be strangled in the cradle.

Not to mention that this is recorded in history, Xue Yantuo eventually became a major concern of the Tang Dynasty.

With Shu An's account, Li Shimin's expression also began to become serious, because he had the lessons of the Turks before.

So if Xue Yantuo truly unifies the entire grassland, it may really become a threat to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Even Li Shimin could not sit and watch something happen and prepare for the future. If he waited until the future, it would be really too late.

"But if you use weapons against Xue Yantuo, then I'm afraid this winter may not be able to achieve the goal completely."'

But Li Shimin still hesitated and said that although the Tang Dynasty could send troops in winter, it would also be affected by ice and snow.

In addition, the grassland is so big that it is not enough to destroy Xue Yantuo.

If we wait until the beginning of spring, it is very likely that Xue Yantuo will unite with other alien races and tribes.

By that time, the Tang Dynasty would probably be attacked by most of the northern alien races, and even this emperor would be a little overwhelmed.

"Now the north is just a grassland and Liaodong. If you attack the grassland, then it will make Liaodong chaos."

However, in the face of Li Shimin's doubts, how could Shu An have never thought about this question and responded quickly.

"Make Liaodong chaos?"

Li Shimin said in a daze, but then he felt that this was not easy.

"Shimin should have met the messenger of Silla. I wonder what he thinks?"

Shu'an's voice continued to sound. You should know that this matter is still very related to these small countries.

"Is it?"

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said softly that he had a lot of research on this emperor in the country around the Tang Dynasty.

Or when there is nothing to do and this emperor will study it, and naturally he will understand the current contradiction between Silla and Goguryeo.

Goguryeo was also the main threat to the Tang Dynasty and Liaodong, but if Silla wanted to start a war against Goguryeo, was it possible? You should know that Silla has been suppressed and beaten.

Otherwise, I would not have sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, just to seek support from the Tang Dynasty.
