Chapter 111

The entire month of July is a month with extremely frequent rights changes.In just one month's interval, the former officials of the prince's mansion suddenly became the most powerful people in this country.

Gao Shilian became a servant, and Yuwen Shiji became a Zhongshuling.The other Fang Du and Changsun Wuji all became the heads of the six departments of the three provinces.Li Yuan's rights were basically handed over to Li Shimin at this time, paving the way for him.As for the army, after a series of rewards, the generals of the armies were basically controlled by Li Shimin's people.

The road was paved, and on the ninth day of August, Li Shimin was enthroned in a grand ceremony.In just two months, the deep palace built for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family has been built, and all these have been sent there to be strictly guarded.Li Shimin's succession ceremony was officially held in the East Palace.

It stands to reason that this is also a very gratifying and congratulatory thing. Li Shimin can finally feel at ease when he has the rights.But is this really the case?

As the saying goes, if you want to receive a thousand pieces of gold, you must bear the weight. Li Shimin couldn't be happier when he heard the news that the Turkic army was coming to invade.

Prior to this, Li Shimin had already ordered the troops in various places to take strict precautions.But there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. All soldiers and horses are still training and patrolling according to their usual habits.Isn't it just a small group of Turkic soldiers coming to harass you? Everyone has seen a lot, and they have fought against Turks in recent years, so they are a little relaxed.

Knowing that Li Shimin had just succeeded to the throne, Jieli Khan, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately went south with tens of thousands of cavalry.After all, they are cavalry, and they are looting all the way, so they are not affected by the baggage at all, so these more than [-] troops have reached Jingzhou in just a few days, advancing towards martial arts.

Here, it is not far from Chang'an City, and if the fight continues like this, they will hit the door of the house.

what to do?The way to deal with the Turkic invasion in the past is to negotiate a peace and give something to let him go home, or to beat him so hard that he dare not come, or to fight first and then negotiate a peace.

At this moment, there is a lot of noise in the court, for how to deal with the menacing Turks.

As old officials of the Wude Dynasty, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda naturally had a deep impression of the time when Li Dayen, the governor of Daizhou, was killed a few years ago. Why, the situation was much better then, but at that time everyone wanted to The Turks were hurt, and then gave them something casually to coax them back.

As a result, if it weren't for Zheng Yuanshou, the Tang Dynasty would have been wiped out by the Turks.Therefore, these people firmly disagree with war.

"Your Majesty, according to past events over the years, although our Tang Dynasty has millions of armored men, the Turkic cavalry is flexible and maneuverable, and rarely confronts our army head-on. Instead, relying on the speed of the cavalry, it is good at gathering an army to defeat our army. Your Majesty If you are new to the Great Treasure, you should not be good at using swords and weapons, and if you are not weak, you can negotiate peace." Xiao Yu said.

But those military generals from the original Prince Qin's Mansion quit.Many of these people had fought against the Turks. Seeing that Xiao Yu exaggerated the strength of the Turks and belittled his own prestige, these people would quit.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this old man's ambition to destroy our prestige. Turkic children commit crimes every year, and we will give a lot of money every year. Just like what Luo boy said, it is called cutting or death. If this continues, sooner or later we will pay He has become a grandson, so he wants me to wait for the martial artist to do something." Yuchi Jingde was originally a bad tempered person, but when he heard Xiao Yu say this at this time, how could he bear it?

Yuchi Jingde was originally a reckless man, but at this time he heard that others looked down on the strength of the army, so there was no way to say polite words, so some of the robbing was usually abusive.However, as a major contributor to the Xuanwumen incident, even if an official impeached him for his gaffes in front of the palace, Li Shimin ignored him at all, and Xiao Yu was so angry that he panted for a while.

After forcing Yuchi Jingde to apologize to Xiao Yu, Li Shimin said: "Well, what Luo Yan said was 'the sun cuts the moon and the moon cuts, so as to lead to death', Jingde has a good memory, I didn't expect to know this. "

Li Shimin's meaning is very obvious, this is to fight.Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Li Shimin immediately appointed Yuchi Jingde as the chief of the Jingzhou Road Marching, and went to Jingyang to defend against the Turks.Of course, at this time it was said to be defensive, but what Li Shimin meant for Yuchi Jingde was to tell him to fight when the Turks came.

Although Yuchi Jingde said that he was a little reckless, but when it came to war, he was absolutely not ambiguous.After rushing to Jingyang, it happened that the Turkic army also arrived.

Although the time is short, it is precisely this that can show a general's extraordinary war talent.In a short time, Yuchi Jingde organized his troops and immediately launched a counterattack.The leader of the army, Ash De Wu Mo Chuo, knew that the opponent's general was Yuchi Jingde, so he insisted on fighting a fierce battle with him.

Ever since, this Ast Umer was not counted as being captured, and he also lost thousands of cavalry.

A vicious battle brought out the majesty of Datang's army, but, with only Yuchi Jingde in Datang, even if all the old generals from Tiance Mansion were sent out, the Turkic cavalry could not stand up and ran away, and changed their route tactics.

In just three days, Jieli led a large army to the banks of the Weishui River.

But this man is not stupid.Yuchi Jingde fought a battle, not only captured his general alive, but also killed thousands of Turkic sons.This time I came here to take advantage of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty and take advantage of the opportunity, not to fight with others, and then inexplicably suffer heavy losses.

Jieli, who was used to forcing Tang to talk about it, sent a person who he thought was good at judging the situation and having extraordinary eloquence to force Li Shimin to surrender.

This talent is called Zhishisili, and at this moment is standing in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, looking at Li Shimin with a proud face.With the confidence of tens of thousands of cavalry behind him, he doesn't have the slightest respect for Li Shimin at the moment.Entering the main hall, without saluting, he said with a face full of winning tickets: "Your Majesty Tang, my Khan led millions of soldiers, and Chen Bing is on the bank of the Weishui River. Today I came here on behalf of my Khan, just to ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Do you want war or peace?"

After all, they came to his door. Although Li Shimin was full of anger, he waved down the courtiers who were still furious, and asked, "How about the war? How about it?"

Zhi Shili smiled smugly, ignoring the eyes that wanted to kill him, and said: "If there is a war, my Khan will enter Chang'an today, and join His Majesty the Tang Emperor in this magnificent hall." Drinking tea and chatting here. If you want to make peace, His Majesty the Tang Emperor will write a letter of surrender, prepare a large amount of gold and silver, and send someone to have a good talk with my Khan."

Seeing that he lost his mind and said more and more arrogantly, amidst the angry shouts of the courtiers, Li Shimin reprimanded angrily: "I also made an alliance with your Khan face to face, and I also gave away gold, silver, and silk for nothing, and I also made an alliance with you. Your family's Khan is sworn brother. Now you have broken the agreement and invaded brazenly. It's nothing to be ashamed at all, but you even sent a pawn like you here to talk nonsense. You have no courtesy, no shame, and you are still doing this in my hall Presumptuous, come here, pull him down and cut him off."

In the dazed look of obsession, two guards entered Xiande Hall and were about to drag him out of the hall.

Seeing that the knife was about to be placed on his own neck, he lost his mind at this moment and was frightened out of his wits. He knelt down on the ground, ignoring the disdainful eyes of others around him, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "Don Your Majesty, please forgive me."

I have to say that this guy is really adaptable, and now he finally knows how to give in.

He should be glad that at this time Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had the intention of negotiating a peace, maybe it was because he was frightened by Li Shimin just now, so he lost his mind and didn't see it.

I saw Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou coming out, and after taking charge of the head, he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the two countries should not be beheaded. Although this Rong Di is arrogant, for the sake of the next smooth operation, let him go back. Call Jieli back."

Finally seeing someone begging for mercy for him, he lost his mind as if he had grasped the straw to save his life, he kept nodding, but he didn't dare to say another word.I was afraid that he would be cut off by Li Shimin because he was talking too much.

On the point of letting go of the obsession and loss of mind, many courtiers have surprisingly the same views. Although they were also wanted to kill him by the words just now, they thought that they would have to face Chen Bing in Weishui next. Jieli also had to dissuade Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "After all, we need someone to make a decision to Jieli. In my opinion, let him go for the time being." Changsun Wuji's words attracted many courtiers to agree.

But Li Shimin didn't want to just let him go. What this guy said just now was too much hatred. Even though Li Shimin knew that there was still use for him, he didn't want to just let him go so easily.So he told the courtiers: "Rong and Di Turks have always respected the strong and will not be influenced by our benevolence. If he let him go so easily, Xieli thought I was afraid of him, so I'm afraid I don't have to." In half a day, the army will approach again. To deal with this kind of people, you must be more ruthless than them. I don't have to kill him, but I can't let him go back so easily."

Li Shimin's words made the courtiers silent for a while.How Qimin Khan surrendered to the Sui Dynasty at the beginning was nothing more than the fact that the Turks split at that time, resulting in a great reduction in strength. In order not to be attacked by the Sui Dynasty, he became a docile sheep for a while.But within a few years, after the strength grew, the old habits sprouted again.

So what Li Shimin said was not without reason.

After a long silence, these people finally had a solution. Since this guy can't be killed or released, they should lock him up and let him eat in prison for a few days, and wait until the Turkic matter is dealt with.

As for how to reply to Xieli, Li Shimin sent an arrow to pass the letter, which is considered to be an official answer to Xieli.The two sides were on the banks of the Weishui River, discussing peace.
