Volume 2 Chapter 3 Leave some thoughts for the Khan of Jieli
When the Turkic soldiers conveyed the meaning of Jieli Khan, Li Shimin Yuesheng glanced at each other and smiled, and then shouted loudly in the direction of the Turkic soldiers:
"Send a message to your Khan, tell him that if you don't withdraw your troops within three days, you hundreds of thousands of people don't have to go back, because our Tang army has surrounded you from all directions, and I don't believe you can send spies to investigate around."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand and looked at the translation soldier next to him. The interpreter soldier understood and spoke loudly to the other side.
Then the Turkic soldiers conveyed Li Shimin's meaning to the Turkic Jieli Khan. Jieli Khan then gathered everyone around him, and discussed around Jieli Khan on the hillside, and after repeated discussions, there was no unified answer, and Jieli Khan did not know that the Tang army could not do it immediately, and he could not reply to the Tang army for a while, after all, it was a matter of the face and future of the Turkic army.
When everyone was at a loss, a Turkic leader came to report that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had led everyone back to the Tang army camp. Na Jieli frowned, and then ordered:
"Send the order, send all the spies out, I want to know the situation of the Tang Army around us, the sooner the better, and summarize all the news back to me by tomorrow night."
After Najieli Khan finished speaking, he immediately returned to the Turkic military camp with everyone.
The day ended in the mutual temptation of the two armies, and when night came, a sergeant had already come to report that the 200,000 troops led by Wei Chigong were not far from Weiqiao, and that they would cross the river from the lower reaches of the river at noon tomorrow to form a counter-encirclement of the Turks.
Li Shimin was overjoyed after receiving the news, and said to Yuesheng next to him:
"Tonight, our most dangerous days will be over, and even if we do fight the Turks, we will have a three-point chance of victory."
Yuesheng smiled disapprethoughtly and said:
"I don't think that Jieli Khan has the courage to start a war with us today, and it is even more impossible to start a war with us after knowing that our other armies, now, I am thinking that Najieli is so repeated, should we teach him a lesson, otherwise it will always be like this, but I think I am a bully."
"I am already content to let the Turks retreat again, and after ten years, I will see that I have set foot on the Turks, and now, even if Najieli needs steps, I will give him a step, and recuperation is what I must do in the Tang Dynasty now."
Yuesheng listened to Li Shimin's words, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"Then let it be as His Majesty wills!"
However, he secretly made a decision in his heart, and after Li Shimin finished discussing with Najieli Khan, he would personally go to meet Najieli Khan again. I had to think about him this time.
When noon came the next day, the spies sent by Najieli Khan also returned to the Turkic military camp and spread the news of the appearance of a large number of Tang troops downstream to Jieli Khan's ears. Today's Jieli Khan can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, is it possible that he will return in vain when he goes south twice? That would have an irreparable impact on his reputation.
And if he fights with the Tang Army, he is not prepared to lose his troops and generals, this time he went south with the mentality of picking up cheap, he is not ready to fight with the Tang Army, if he can win, it is better to say, if he fails, it will have a greater impact than returning without success, you must know that there are not a few other commanders who covet him as a khan.
Therefore, he urgently needed a step to return to the grassland with dignity, but two days ago, Emperor Li Tang did not negotiate with him, but directly threatened him with war, which made him unable to pull down his face and negotiate with Li Shimin first; In addition, for some reason, he has always been confident, and he is always a little lacking in confidence after seeing Li Shimin. This Li Shimin, who has just ascended the throne, always makes him a little unsure.
The restless Jieli Khan finally couldn't sit still in the afternoon, and called a Turkic leader in and asked him to go to the Tang army camp to convey his intention to negotiate with Li Shimin.
When the news reached Li Shimin's big account, Li Shimin readily agreed. So the two commanders got together again, and at the Weiqiao bridge, they sat down with Najieli Khan, and a group of people began to negotiate.
The result of the negotiation was, of course, on the premise that the Turks would withdraw their troops unconditionally, and in addition, the Tang army would give appropriate subsidies, as a condition, and the two sides would become friendly and homogeneous allies, and the Turkic army would not be allowed to step into the Tang realm again.
Li Shimin and Jieli Khan once again signed their names on the alliance, although both knew that all this was based on each other's strength, but there was still work to be done. It's just that Jieli has a faint premonition that from now on, the Turkic army may not be able to step into the Tang realm for half a step in the future.
When the negotiations between the two parties were completed, Najieli Khan looked up and saw the cold Yuesheng and Yue'e behind Li Shimin, and his heart was cold. You must know that he has suffered the losses of Yuesheng and Yue'e. He always felt that something was wrong, and finally understood where the root of his worries was for many days, in fact, he was not afraid of the army of the Tang Dynasty, but in his heart he was afraid of the two young people beside Li Shimin, these two young people had already seen the elusive methods last time.
Therefore, when he saw Yuesheng and Yue'e, he no longer stayed at the negotiation site, and quickly led the escort back to the Turkic military camp, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he announced loudly:
"The army listened to the order, and now the Tang army has promised to compensate us with a large amount of gold, silver and cloth every year, and now our goal of going south has been achieved, and we will withdraw our troops back to the grassland early tomorrow morning."
As soon as the army heard the news, they got busy preparing for their return tomorrow.
In the dead of night, Jieli Khan was falling asleep, faintly feeling as if he was being carried and thrown on the ground, when the pain of the whole body came to his mind, Jieli Khan woke up, opened his eyes and saw that he was really thrown on the ground, the surroundings were empty, and the sound of war horses neighing in the distance seemed to be the direction of his military camp.
Jieli turned his head to look this way, but it was the figure of two young people. And these two young people he just met in the afternoon, they were Yuesheng and Yue'e beside Li Shimin.
"Two young heroes, what do you mean?"
Najieli Khan hurriedly looked at Yuesheng, and Yue'e asked. He knew that if the two of them wanted to kill him, he would definitely be dead a long time ago, and now that he was not dead, it meant that he was okay for the time being, but he was still panicking in his heart.
"I heard that you are going back to the grassland tomorrow, and I handed you over because I wanted to leave you a thought and let you understand the price of breaking the contract without permission."
The Jieli Khan was so angry that he didn't have time to get up and stand up, but he was kicked to the ground again by Yue'e.
"Ah, if you're not happy, then you don't have to go back to the grassland, I'll kill you now."
After Yue'e finished speaking, she took out the fish intestine sword and wanted to stab it at the heart of Jieli Khan.
