As many had expected, in July, the Turks led their armies southward again, and this time, because the Khan of Jieli had united with the Khan of Turki, the scale of this invasion was far greater than before. The land of the north is about to face war again.

In fact, the invasion of the Turks began as early as April of this year, in the winter of the previous year, due to the turmoil in Mayi, so that this territory, which originally belonged to Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang, had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, however, it was precisely for this reason that the prestige of the Jieli Khan in the steppe was questioned, and therefore, even if the season was unfavorable, the Jieli Khan still led a large army south to attack the Mayi, in order to restore the majesty he had lost.

The defenders of Ma Yi resisted, but they finally failed due to the huge difference in strength, and Ma Yi was finally lost, and the reinforcements sent by Li Yuan at that time were Zu Lang by the Turkic cavalry on the way to the rescue, and could not be rescued, so that in the end they could only sit and watch the fall of Ma Yi. After occupying Mayi, due to the fact that Jieli Khan attacked alone, although the army was strong, it was not enough to face the counterattack of the whole Tang army, and the time at this time was not right, which was not conducive to the gathering of troops on the grassland, so Jieli Khan chose to retreat, intending to wait until autumn to make a comeback.

At this time, autumn finally arrived, and the Turks who had been preparing for a long time really launched a large-scale attack, and what made the Tang Dynasty's shape at this time even more severe was that under the efforts of the Demon Xiangzong led by the Demon Shuai, a generation of Wuzun Bi Xuan, who can be called a "god" in the minds of all the grassland residents, finally decided to fully support Jieli and launch a large-scale attack on the Tang Dynasty, and under the influence of Bi Xuan, even the little Khan Tuli on the grassland had to choose to unite with Jieli and form a coalition to attack the Tang Dynasty together. Therefore, this time the Turks were menacing, and there was even a danger of breaking through Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and the land in the north was suddenly full of wolf smoke, and as Li Tang's well-deserved god of war, Li Shimin was naturally duty-bound. Therefore, it is necessary to lead the troops to face the menacing offensive of the Turks.

Shi Qingyi is seeing off Li Shimin.

"Don't worry! Although the northern border is in an emergency this time, Jieli is our old friend, as long as it is him, then with my understanding of him, this battle must be thunder and rain, I will be fine, and I will be back soon! Looking at Shi Qingyi. Li Shimin said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!" Shi Qingyi said, of course she has no objection to what Li Shimin said, after all, Li Shimin's name as the god of war, but he personally went into battle and fought all the way on the battlefield, compared to the danger of Western Qin, the suffering of Hedong, and the patience of Luoyang. Although the Turks at this time were menacing, the habits of the steppe nomads doomed their offensive to only be temporary. And it can't last, and at this time, the Tang army, which is almost the same as the whole country, is by no means comparable to the past, and under such circumstances, it is determined that Li Shimin will almost never encounter any danger, although for Shi Qingyi. Li Shimin's talent in war is invincible, however, such a point is enough, in the face of such a grim form in the north, Shi Qingyi will not worry about Li Shimin at all!

July. It was a cool autumn festival, but a rare rainstorm swept the entire northern land at this time, for a time, almost all the northern Turkic invasion areas were shrouded in heavy rain, marching between the mountains and mountains, day and night to the front of the battlefield of the Tang Army, which encountered great obstacles, along the way due to the rain and the number of people who fell ill and attrition continued to increase, the Tang Army's non-military combat attrition was strict, and, due to the heavy rain, the Tang Army's supply operation was extremely difficult, Some of the troops have even run out of food, but the strictest is due to the lack of preparation for this rainstorm in advance, so that the Tang army did not take any rainproof measures, and most of the weapons and bows were damp because of this, so that they rusted or lost their original excellent properties...... Because of the various accidents caused by this rainstorm, the morale of the Tang army was severely hit, and even the ministers who accompanied the army, such as Fang Xuanling and Princess Qin's elder brother Sun Wuji, were deeply worried about this, however, Li Shimin was calm and calm, and even, when he inspected the three armies in the barracks, he inspired his soldiers because of this: Although the Tang army faced such a great predicament, however, the Turks who went south to enter the Kou must be in a more difficult situation than the Tang army at this time, after all, compared to the Tang army, At this time, the Turks in a foreign land must have been even more caught off guard by the arrival of this rainstorm, and therefore, the situation at this time must be much worse than that of the Tang Army. In this battle, the Tang Army still has a great chance of winning! It was also under Li Shimin's persuasion that the officers and men of the Tang Army once again lifted their spirits and continued to march forward.

And in Li Shimin's heart, in fact, what he thinks is far more optimistic than what he said, after all, the Turks are no better than the Tang army soldiers, fighting with the belief of defending their home and defending the country, so when they encounter such a natural disaster, I am afraid that the military spirit at this time has already been shaken, and the mentality of wanting to return to the grassland has been breeded, and in this way, as long as the Tang army can reach the opposite side of the Turks on time to put pressure on the Turks, and the strategy is properly applied, then it is very likely that the Turks will not even have to fight, and it is possible to persuade the Turks to return to the army! However, just in case, Li Shimin did not tell anyone about this idea, if his soldiers had the heart of despising the enemy because of this, then it would be a dangerous thing for Li Shimin.

Then, the army led by Li Shimin finally reached the front line of the battlefield and confronted the Turkic army head-on, and it seemed that then a great war would break out. However, no one expected that the subsequent battle situation would immediately slide towards a place that no one could have imagined......

The first thing Li Shimin did after arriving at the battlefield was to secretly meet with the Turki Khan and have a meeting. In fact, although this Turki is the nephew of Jieli Khan, he and Jieli are enemies of each other, and the reason is extremely simple, because according to the Turkic Khan inheritance custom, when the Turkic father Shibi Khan died, the Turkic Khan should have been inherited by the Turks, however, Jieli relied on his strength and forcibly took away the Khan that belonged to the Turks. And he also wants to get rid of Tuli, so that his sweat seat can sit safely, however, Tuli is not alone, he is surrounded by a group of subordinates who were loyal to Shibi Khan in the past, although the strength is not as good as Jieli. But he is not afraid of a war with Jieli, and in this way, the Eastern Turks who are caught in the civil war are bound to fall into a state of division, which is what any Turkic people do not want to see, and therefore, the generation of grandmaster Wuzun Bi Xuan, who has always been detached from the world, will intervene in this matter and want to resolve the war, and after Bi Xuan's mediation, Jieli and Tuli reached a reconciliation. Jieli was called the Great Khan, and the Turks were called the Little Khan, and they jointly managed the people of the steppe, however, although Bi Xuan's mediation prevented the Turkic civil strife at that time, it also buried the hidden danger of hostility between the two khans.

Persecuted by Jieli and his ambition to regain his throne, the young Tuli once traveled far from the grasslands to the Central Plains. made friends with famous heroes at that time, and it was at that time that Li Shimin met him. Therefore, Li Shimin knew very well about the foundation of this Turkic young khan at this time, and the reason why he made an appointment with Turki was itself a plan to divide the Turkic coalition army, however. But it is above board, so no one can say anything, and it is for this reason that although this meeting did not say anything at all, yet. After the meeting, after Li Shimin expressed his tough attitude towards Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan, who had always been suspicious by nature, naturally expressed his deep suspicion about this matter.

Li Shimin had said before when he said goodbye to Shi Qingyi that Jieli was his old friend, so they knew each other, and in fact, this is not nonsense, because it was Jieli who led the Turks to assist Li Tang in entering Guanzhong, and with Jieli's series of harassment activities against the Tang Dynasty after Jieli became a Turkic khan, Li Shimin did already know the nature of this old opponent very well, and he was naturally able to target the character weaknesses of this Turkic Khan.

Sure enough, Jieli expressed great doubts about the meeting between Tuli and Li Shimin, and he even instinctively decided that in this meeting, Tuli would secretly sign an alliance with Li Shimin for his long-lost sweat position, and betray him, so for Jieli at this time, there is a strong enemy like Li Shimin close at hand, and an enemy like Tuli lurking around him, and the place where he is located is not his home territory, so Jieli was stunned to find that his situation at this time, It is already extremely dangerous, if you don't retreat at this time, then not to mention that you can return to the grassland safely after a robbery, it is already a question whether you can return to the grassland safely......

Therefore, cleverness is often mistaken by cleverness, Wang Shichong, Li Mi is like this, and Jieli, the same is true, and the impact of heavy rain on the Turkic people is indeed the same strict, and therefore, the smart man Jieli immediately made the fastest response, he immediately chose to negotiate peace with Li Shimin, and then led the Turkic cavalry army, as when he came, quickly returned to the grassland again, so fast that all the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians were dumbfounded.

As a result, a Turkic invasion that could have shaken half of the Tang Dynasty ended in a tiger's head, and Li Shimin "surrendered without a fight!" Thus once again composing the myth of his invincibility on the battlefield!

……

In Chang'an City, Shi Qingyi looked at the rain dripping in front of him and was stunned, from the time when Li Shimin quelled Liu Heimin's rebellion, the north began to fall with rare heavy snow in the past, and now it is a rare long and heavy rainstorm in the autumn, in a short period of time in the past few years, how many rare weather has come one after another, one or two meteorological changes, it can also be said to be an accidental change in climate, can not be taken to heart, then, this continuous weather change, but what does it mean? - Oh my God, is it going to change......!!! (To be continued......)
