"Great sweat and good eyesight, it is Li Tong below." Li Tong hugged his fist at the Great Khan and replied, the Great Khan saw that his guess was correct, so he smiled evilly, and replied, "A few days ago, the Khitan leader came to my Turkic territory to play, and during the chat, he accidentally mentioned you, and mentioned the fast way you ran when you defeated the battle, and he also carefully described your appearance, so the first time I saw you, I recognized you at once, General Li Tong!" Look at my eyesight! The Turkic Great Khan looked at General Li Tong's immediately blackened face, and burst out laughing.

"You, what do you mean, you dare to humiliate me so much in front of the emperor?" Li Tong's face suddenly turned from purple and black to red, he stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at the sweat angrily, and said loudly in anger, at the same time he looked at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's face was also ugly, this time he regretted his impulsiveness, seeing that no one gave him a round, he had no steps to go down for a while, so he could only stand there straight.

"General Li, why are you so angry, how much you hurt your body, don't be irritable for a while, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." Mo Lin, who was sitting on the side, stood up, walked to Li Tong's side, and gently pressed his shoulder, Li Tong saw Mo Lin come out to speak, so he sat down with his sleeves and picked up the teacup, Mo Lin saw the Great Khan humiliating Li Tong, although Li Tong had some festivals with him on weekdays, but now in the court, the Great Khan is their unanimous external enemy, and he is still very clear about this.

Mo Lin sat down, picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said slowly, "Great Khan, this war, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, when you meet a weak opponent, it is a very simple thing to win, if you meet a strong opponent, if you are lucky, you can also win narrowly, when Gaochang by the Wukus River, haven't you always wanted to take him for yourself?" Later, it was still owned by our Tang Dynasty, and sometimes it didn't matter if you won or lost, what mattered was the result. ”

Li Tong saw Mo Lin say this, and couldn't help but smile heartily, this original battle of Gaochang, the Tang Dynasty finally won it without a single soldier, in fact, the Turks have the upper hand, because Gaochang is close to the Turks, and Gaochang is far away from Chang'an City, when many good soldiers and horses rushed to Gaochang, the people and horses were extremely tired, how could they still have the energy to go to the battlefield, at that time when the two soldiers were fighting for many months, the weather had reached the cold winter, and the Wukus River was frozen, from summer to winter, you can imagine how fierce the battle was.

The river froze, the Turkic horse was on the ice and fell, the person turned over on his back, and the opposite Tang Dynasty because of the cultural peak, the folk skating activity, there were self-made Tang Dynasty skates, the soldiers put on skates, on the glacier easily picked up these captives, the Great Khan saw that Gaochang really could not attack, can only retreat to the Turks in disgrace, this is the famous battle of Gaochang, the Great Khan was unwilling to return to the Turks, thinking that he would be able to pocket Gaochang immediately, but he did not expect to fall short in the end.

Later, the Tang Dynasty soldiers entered Gaochang and brought a lot of good food materials, Gaochang was originally a small territory with an extreme lack of materials, just because it was a small city between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic territory, and the copper and iron ore resources of Gaochang were extremely rich, so a good geographical location allowed the Turks and the Tang Dynasty to compete with each other, and after a few months, the people of Gaochang were assimilated by the Tang Dynasty.

A few months later, when the Great Khan wanted to provoke the people of Gaochang to have a war, the Gaochang people who were well fed and clothed still wanted to return to the hard days of the past, and they all said that they would not do it, and drove all the Turkic soldiers away, so far, Gaochang was unified to the Tang Dynasty, which was a heartache when the Great Khan mentioned it, Mo Lin refuted his sarcastic words about Li Tong in a few words, and the master made a move, and the move did not see blood, but the move can make people vomit blood.

The Great Khan looked at Mo Lin, who was talking lightly on the other side, and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, but still smiled and said, "This is the famous General Mo Linmo, this is also a great general of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be such a big difference in ability?" The Great Khan wanted to provoke the relationship between Mo Lin and Li Tong, how could Mo Lin not know if the Great Khan was so obvious, he smiled and replied, "Where is this general's ability and ability, it is all for today's son, this ending is good, the process is not important." The rest of the civil and military officials echoed Mo Lin's words, "General Mo is right, no matter how the war is fought, whoever owns this territory belongs to whom, who cares if the battle is lost and won?" Da Khan looked at the chattering crowd, and his face gradually darkened.

Tang Taizong laughed, seeing that Mo Lin and the Great Khan said a word, back and forth several times, it seemed that Mo Lin still had the upper hand, he said, "Everyone has been talking for so long, and they are all thirsty and hungry, so serve food and wine." When Gonggong Zhang heard the emperor say this, he commanded the head of the imperial dining room with a sharp voice, "Feast, music and dance." The eunuchs and servants brought all kinds of delicacies to the table, and the vocal music sounded, and the dancers shook their sleeves and came up and began to dance gracefully.

The Great Khan looked at the various delicacies served up, sandwiched some and put them in his mouth, this taste is really good, Feng Xu and Feng Luan around him also ate with relish, the beef was served on the table, the Great Khan took out a knife from his arms, cut it and ate it, the civil and military officials whispered when they saw this, "You can't bring swords and knives when you enter the palace, this Great Khan really doesn't know the height of the sky, and he doesn't understand such rules, and he even has a knife in his arms, he really doesn't know etiquette." "He's a big rough man, what does he know? What a daredevil. ”

Da Khan pretended not to hear the chatter on the other side, still used a knife to cut the beef, sandwiched it to Feng Xu and Feng Luan who were sitting beside him, and drank a glass of liquor by himself, smashed his mouth, and tasted it, this wine is really good.

Tang Taizong saw the Great Khan tasting the wine carefully, and said, "This is the wine that the leader of the Western Regions specially paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty last time, this is a unique wine in the Western Regions, it is very delicious, these wines, but the soldiers of the Western Regions led several camels, sent from thousands of miles, and today they were specially used to entertain the Great Khan, the leader of the Western Regions came to play from time to time, and the Tang Dynasty had a very good relationship, and I hope that the Great Khan will often come to play in the future, and the tribute will be forgotten, and the Great Khan can come in person." The Great Khan listened to Tang Taizong's words and knew that he wanted to suppress him with the power of the Western Regions, and now he also knew that the Western Regions had completely belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and the last time he sent someone to the Western Regions to discuss the matter of fighting with the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the Western Regions even used the reason of ill health, and he didn't see the people he sent.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry about it, I will have more opportunities to come to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the emperor will not dislike me as an uninvited guest when the time comes." The Great Khan nodded at Tang Taizong, and said, "Your Majesty, this time I came all the way to the Tang Dynasty, one is to visit the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is to discuss with the emperor about the territory of Gaochang, presumably the emperor knows very well that Gaochang is a necessary place for the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, since Gaochang was recovered by the emperor, every time I go back to the Turkic land, there are some things that export the Tang Dynasty, or the Tang Dynasty wants to import the Turkic things, all of which have to go through the very complicated and cumbersome procedures of your Tang Dynasty soldiers, and many materials are always stuck in Gaochang, I haven't been released for several months, so it doesn't work, my Turkic people are still counting on eating, this road is blocked, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, what do you say, the emperor, and why did the emperor suddenly surround the Ukus River and not let anyone approach, I think at the beginning, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty have documents that are clearly written, this Ukus River, but they are each half, the emperor is so around, what does it mean?"

The Great Khan's personal saber cut the beef, and with a click, it was inserted straight into the table, Tang Taizong looked at the saber inserted on the table, and understood in his heart that this action was to be done to show him, Tang Taizong smiled and asked the Great Khan.

"Great Khan, don't be surprised, last time there was smuggling from the Wukus River, this recent thing out of the customs and into the customs, the soldiers will inevitably have to strictly inspect, this is also responsible for the interests of both sides, I think the Great Khan should be able to understand, if it weren't for your herdsmen smuggling across the Wukus River without authorization, transporting those unclean things to the Tang Dynasty, and causing the lives of my Tang Dynasty people, I would not have done so resolutely, in my opinion, the safety of the Tang Dynasty people is the most important."

Tang Taizong said so roundabout, and then the Great Khan brushed back the words, the Great Khan saw Tang Taizong say this, so he said, "Then you can't always do this, my herdsmen who rely on exporting horses, sheep, camels, and mare's milk to the Tang Dynasty have been very violent in recent days, and they have begged me to come to the Tang Dynasty, thinking that I will ask them to ask clearly, you know, those herdsmen are short-sighted, just look at their own interests, if they provoke them, they may really rush to Gaochang to riot, So I'll see if this matter can be negotiated for peace, after all, the Tang Dynasty has been stable for so long, and I don't want to start a war again because of such a trivial matter, and it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time. ”

"Then, according to the Great Khan, how should this matter be handled, and how can it be resolved to stabilize your herdsmen who are about to riot?" Tang Taizong squinted, looked at the cunning Khan, and took those herdsmen out as shields, and really said with the face that the smuggling was not because of the Turkic side, and the horses and sheep that were sick due to horse flu and sheep flu were shoddy, and they were transported to the Tang Dynasty privately through the Wukusi River without taking the proper way, causing the common people who ate sick horses and sheep to get sick one after another, and some of them died because of it.
