"The family is unfortunate, Shi Bobi secretly colluded with you and others, I can retreat from the army, but Shi Bobi will also be punished, and I will not be able to step into the Turks again!" Jieli Khan shouted loudly, implying that the matter of the alliance was not to be discussed, and by the way, he also drove out his little khan.

"If the third uncle insists on this, the nephew can only meet with swords!" The Tuli Khan retreated more than a dozen feet away, and the original family suddenly became a confrontational situation.

Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Jieli Khan was annoyed and angry, pointed at Tuli Khan and said: "Ruthless and unrighteous people, after I succeeded to the throne, I still made you the khan, why do you treat me like this, are you not afraid of heaven and earth?" ”

"Third uncle, the position of the Great Khan should belong to me, I don't care about you, why are you brazen to curse me here?" The Turki Khan was unimpressed.

There was an endless quarrel here, and Yuan Ziyan also began to discuss it here, and the eldest grandson Wuji analyzed: "Your Majesty, Jieli Khan insists on not surrendering, it should be because he is worried that the Tang Dynasty will support the little Khan and his status will not be guaranteed." ”

"Exactly." Li Shimin nodded and said, "You can lure the high-ranking officials of the Liangtian and beautiful houses to leave the little khan in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly arched his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to talk about the little khan, I analyze that there is still a layer of reasons that need to be dug deeply." Yuan Ziyan said: "Jieli Khan's wife is Princess Yicheng, this former Sui princess is as her name suggests, very righteous, and has inseparable feelings for the Sui Dynasty. Presumably, Jieli Khan sent troops, and there was also a reason for her instigation behind her back, you must know that Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao are in Turkic. She's always thinking about restoration. ”

Everyone's faces were solemn, they had all heard of the name of Princess Yicheng, this woman was strong. Loyal and patriotic, she is a radical, and under her constant brainwashing, the Turks are bound to become a disaster.

"Where is Yu Chigong now?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"I'm hurrying here, and I think it will take half a day to arrive." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly replied, thinking of Yuan Ziyan's scruples, and said, "That Princess Yicheng is already the daughter of several marriages. The body of the broken flower and the willow, and the age is old, the grace must not be as good as before. As long as you choose the beauties of the Tang Dynasty to give them away, Jieli Khan will be happy, and you will naturally leave Yicheng behind. ”

"Lord Eldest Sun, your statement is pure machismo. It's all a matter of course. Yuan Ziyan looked disdainful: "Although the Turkic customs are like this. But it is not necessarily that every newly canonized khan will marry a stepmother or sister-in-law, this princess Yicheng must be peerless and resourceful, so she is deeply respected by the four generations of khans. ”

"You haven't seen this princess Yicheng, isn't it also hearsay?" The eldest grandson Wuji fought back.

Yuan Ziyan glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you should use the land of Mobei to lure you, which is to give Jieli Khan a step. They can also be persuaded to leave. ”

"No!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said with a cold face: "It's really a woman's opinion, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to give up an inch!" ”

"Now chaos is undivided. Where is it written that it is Datang? Yuan Ziyan also asked angrily.

"Alright, I'm in my own way!"

Li Shimin frowned to stop the quarrel between the two and thought deeply. The words of the two of them are reasonable, if they don't give Jieli Khan some benefits, he will not easily withdraw from the army, but where is the majesty of Datang? On the contrary, it made him think that Datang was empty, and the two sides were not separated by the Wei River at this time, and the outcome was unpredictable.

At this time, Wei Chigong also received good news, capturing the Turkic general's stubbornness, which had a great impact on the Turkic soldiers. He was not only the confidant general of Jieli Khan, but also the chief of the tribe, handsome and strong, and one of the best warriors in the Turks.

Jieli Khan's psychological defense line was finally fully relaxed, and he took the initiative to mention the matter of peace talks, but insisted on his own interests and never let go, otherwise he could only meet each other with swords and soldiers.

All things considered, Li Shimin finally took advantage of the interests of both sides, divided the river and ruled the country, coexisted peacefully, and did not invade each other, of course, provided that the territory returned to the Turks was larger than before.

On the surface, the Turks had to pay tribute to the Great Tang Dynasty, with 3,000 horses and 10,000 cattle and sheep every year.

After several discussions, Jieli Khan, fearing the unfathomable strength of the Tang Dynasty and his hateful nephew, finally signed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty at the bridge.

After all, the Turki Khan is a young man, he likes the prosperity and wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and he has long been tired of staying in the barren land of the Turks, and he stayed in the Tang Dynasty without spending too much Zhou Zhang.

A war lurking in a huge crisis was brought to peace without a fight, and later generations continued to exaggerate Li Shimin's bravery and wisdom, and how to denounce Jieli Khan's treachery across the river, making him frightened. In fact, at that time, a certain price was paid, otherwise how could he easily make him withdraw from the army and be willing to bow down?

At that time, the biggest profit had to be regarded as Jieli Khan, who did not lose too much, and gained a lot, and the Tang Dynasty also gave him twenty stunning women with graceful figures, which made him very satisfied.

Datang bought precious time for recuperation at a great cost, but the seemingly polished Jieli Khan was no longer so lucky.

First of all, when Princess Yicheng saw these twenty enchanting women, she was furious, and immediately slapped the two leaders, and the ups and downs of the Turks also trained Princess Yicheng's strong arms. The two women were beaten to the point that their hairpins were scattered, their noses and mouths were bleeding, and they desperately begged for mercy.

After that, the women were rewarded to the tribal leaders, and their fate was much the same.

Princess Yicheng was still angry, thinking that taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, her husband would be able to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to take the other party by surprise. In order to ensure victory, Princess Yicheng also took advantage of her ex-husband's son Tuli Khan's ambiguous feelings for her and wrote a letter to persuade him to send troops to help.

I thought that 300,000 soldiers and horses attacked Chang'an, which was only 100,000 garrisoned, should be at my fingertips, and the fact is also the same, the Turkic soldiers are like entering a no-man's land, occupying several cities in a row, and finally signing the alliance inexplicably, or bowing their heads to the vassals, which is sad and sad!

Princess Yicheng fainted several times because she was too emotional, and although Jieli Khan was annoyed that his wife was ruthless and chattered non-stop, but when she calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that it was too easy to retreat, and if it didn't work, she should always try to fight. At present, except for those barren territories, there is no actual benefit from Datang.

Princess Yicheng was bent on restoring the Great Sui, so she secretly discussed with her husband to reorganize the soldiers and horses and fight again in the future!

However, at this time, the Turks fell into unprecedented secession and disputes, and many people opposed the succession of Jieli Khan, and the conflict continued, and there was no time to take care of the Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, when the three consecutive years of drought have greatly reduced grain production, the fertility of horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock has decreased, and the Turks have fallen into extreme shortage of means of production, they are unable to be self-sufficient.

And the Tang Dynasty once again turned the danger into a disaster, Li Shimin led the mighty army back to Chang'an, and the people welcomed and cheered, shouting long live non-stop.

Li Shimin was deeply moved by this situation, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must be a good emperor in the future and live up to the people of the world.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, he didn't see Li Yuan taking hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to meet each other, nor did he put up lanterns to celebrate. Since the Emperor Taishang did not make any moves, the palace was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had happened.

The quieter it is, the more people have no bottom in their hearts, Li Shimin's face is solemn and he doesn't say a word, which makes the atmosphere even more depressing.

"Your Majesty, the heart of defense is indispensable, and the minister is willing to lead the way!" Wei Chigong and the others walked in front of Li Shimin on horseback with swords, vigilantly checking the surrounding environment.

"Ziyan, did you say that my father would attack me?" Li Shimin also asked with a little doubt.

"No, it won't."

"Why?"

"Hehe, Shimin, you're too nervous. The Emperor Taishang is wise, and he can see that you are a good emperor, if he attacks you, he will have to risk the world's disapproval. Yuan Ziyan smiled easily.

"Hey, I'm afraid that my father won't forgive me for killing Jiancheng Yuanji."

"The most unforgivable person for the Emperor is actually himself." Yuan Ziyan couldn't say anything, so he had to say vaguely, hoping that Li Shimin could understand the meaning.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't think about it in this regard, he thought about his thoughts, and he was a little distracted, and before he knew it, the group arrived at the Xuanwu Gate in the north of Taiji Palace. The bloodshed in this place has taken root in the hearts of the people at that time, although it is not mentioned, but every time the ministers who go in and out of the court in the early morning, they will not catch a second glimpse here.

The surroundings are exceptionally quiet, which makes people feel inexplicably timid. Although Li Shimin remained silent, but right here, his brother Jiancheng died in front of him, and his younger brother Li Yuanji also died not far away, no matter how strong Li Shimin's heart is, it is difficult to get out of this shadow.

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin's somewhat pale face, and wanted to tell him that in fact, Jiancheng was not killed by him, but by the emperor.

Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew, whining through the eaves, as if someone were whimpering.

Li Shimin was exhausted for the past two days, and at this time, when he was highly nervous, he actually shouted out out of shape, oops, he fell off the horse without warning, and he was unconscious.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly lifted Li Shimin up, Li Shimin woke up quietly, but the stimulated consciousness was still confused, pointing to the distance, and muttered with a frightened face: "It's built, it's built to ask for your life!" ”

Everyone was speechless, so they had to temporarily carry Li Shimin back to the dormitory, but fortunately, after the imperial doctor's examination, he said that there was no major problem. Someone came to report, saying that the emperor heard that the emperor had returned, so he retreated to Da'an Palace, and explained that he was unwell and needed to recuperate, so there was no need to disturb.

This is a father and son who have struggled to come out of the loss of their son and brother, and they bury their pain deep in their hearts. One is to numb himself with his voice, and the other is to rely on anger and strength to ignite the light of prosperity with his life. (To be continued......)
