At that moment, Li Shimin ordered the left and right Yu Linwei and the left and right Jin Wuwei, and ordered the general to lead the troops to the bridge, but he took Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other Wenchen and Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Yunwen and other generals out of the Xuanwu Gate on horseback, and went straight to the edge of Weishui.

At this time, it was June, and there was a lot of rain, and the Weishui overflowed. I saw the surging water roaring from the west, stirring up bursts of white waves.

Look at the river, but it is not as dirty as in later generations, carrying a large amount of sediment, although it is a little yellow, but it is also formed by the sudden rise of the water and the collapse of the land on both sides. In the river, there are saplings and weeds, and even a whole piece of soil floats in the river, flowing downstream. When a wave came, it sank to the bottom of the river.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but think of the veritable "Yellow River" in later generations, the cause of which was the serious soil erosion on the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches. And now, the Yellow River is still very clear, if you come to promote it again, educate and educate this group of high-level people of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can also establish the awareness of protecting the river basin, then the Yellow River will not be called the Yellow River, it may be called the "Qing River".

Across the bridge, I saw the white tents of the Turkic camp on the opposite side arranged vertically and horizontally, for several miles, and among them, the sound of people chirping, horses neighing, and how noisy they resounded throughout the camp.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, pointed to the camp of the 100,000-strong army and said: "Back then, I confronted Dou Jiande against the tiger prison, and Dou Jiande's camp was much tighter and neater than that of the Turks!" ”

As soon as these words came out, those Wenchen generals who had participated in the Battle of the Tiger Prison suddenly looked relaxed. Indeed, there were 100,000 people back then, and His Majesty defeated Dou Jiande with 3,500 people, and now there are no less than 10,000 soldiers in this Chang'an City, where is there any fear.

Zhang Yunwen suddenly looked at Li Shimin with great admiration. In the end, he is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and just by virtue of a few words, he makes everyone angry.

While talking and laughing, I saw that the Turkic camp was full of people, and then, Najieli galloped over with more than 20 horsemen and came to the end of the bridge.

As soon as Jieli arrived, Li Shimin shouted and asked: "Jieli, you are the co-lord of the steppe and the Turkic Khan, why did you carry the covenant and come to kill my people and plunder my goods?" ”

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, his prestige became stronger and stronger, and it was even more different from the original King of Qin.

"Could it be that this is the legendary king's spirit?" Zhang Yunwen looked at Li Shimin, who had a majestic face, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Jieli immediately froze, and then his dark face showed a burst of red. After gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, he immediately dismounted. was about to open his mouth to say some high-sounding words, but he saw a black banner suddenly appear behind Li Shimin, and then a black stream of cavalry poured out from the Xuanwu Gate, and soon came behind Li Shimin.

I saw that these black knights were all wearing black leather armor, holding horizontal swords and long lances, and they were mighty.

Jieli was in a moment of surprise, and saw a yellow flag fluttering, and nearly a thousand knights wearing shining bright armor galloped out of the Xuanmen again. These knights were even more powerful, only to see that they were holding a long lance close to the zhang, a color black, and at the tip of the lance, there was a red tassel fluttering, in the slight breeze, swaying in one direction, it was really magnificent.

The black knight is the left and right Jinwu guards, and the knights in bright light armor are the soldiers of the left and right Yulin guards.

As soon as Jieli saw this situation, the high-sounding words that he was about to say retracted into his mouth. Glancing at the ** military formation again, he didn't find that his henchmen were obsessed with thinking power, only Li Shimin led these thousands of knights to line up on the north bank of the bridge, and the army was very prosperous, and a fear couldn't help but rise in his heart. Looking at the 100,000 Turkic army behind him, it seems that this 100,000 army can't bring him any sense of security.

Li Shimin saw that his four-guard army had arrived and set up a position on the south bank of Weishui, so he stepped forward and wanted to talk to Jieli alone on the bridge.

However, just a few steps away, I saw a figure grab the reins of the horse, kowtow to Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you be alone in danger?" ”

Li Shimin looked at it, but it was the old minister Xiao Yu who was kneeling in front of the horse and admonished. Hurriedly dismounted and helped Xiao Yu up: "I have been planning for a long time, and now the time is ripe, and it is not for Qing to know." The reason why the Turks dared to pour their country and go directly to the outskirts of our Tang Dynasty was because they thought that our Tang Dynasty was in trouble, and I was newly enthroned, and I could not lead the army to resist the enemy. If I show weakness and refuse to defend behind closed doors, the enemy will surely plunder our Tang Dynasty and Gyeonggi. Therefore, I rode alone, showing that I did not take the Turks seriously. He also shocked him with Xuanhe's military appearance, and showed him that our army would fight. Unexpectedly by the enemy's captives, they were thrown into confusion. The Turkic invasion of the Central Plains is deep, and there must be fear, so the war will be victorious, and the peace will be solid. Subdue the Turks, in one fell swoop, the first to watch! ”

Hearing this call, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but secretly shout "Okay", this is the monarch who really has strategic vision and excellent strategy.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he let go of the reins of the horse, Li Shimin got on the horse, came to the bridge, and asked Jieli again.

Jieli looked at Li Shimin, and sure enough, he said: "On my grassland, there is a shortage of food, and I can't eat, so I came to the Central Plains today to borrow some food!" Not wanting to carry the covenant and offend the majesty of the emperor is really the fault of the little Khan! Today, Xiao Khan is willing to think about His Majesty the Emperor, please make peace! ”

Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said: "Khan, you won't come to attack my Tang Dynasty in violation of the covenant after asking for peace this time!" ”

Jieli said in fear: "No, no, Xiao Khan will abide by the covenant and will not do it again!" ”

As a result, Li Shimin issued an edict on the bridge, agreeing to the Turkic peace. It was agreed that the white horse would be cut off on the second day.

On the second day, Li Tang and the Turks swore an oath on a white horse on the bridge and agreed not to invade. Li Shimin rewarded the Turks with gold and silver. Immediately, the Turks led their troops and horses to the north.

Back in the city, Xiao Yu asked Li Shimin: "When the Turks were not at peace, the generals were fighting, Your Majesty did not allow it, and the ministers were also suspicious. ”

Li Shimin said: "Although there are many Turkic people, the monarchs and ministers are determined to obtain property, and the main and secondary are not in harmony. When Jieli asked for peace, Jieli was alone to the north of Weishui, and the rest of the officials came to worship me, and if I took the opportunity to catch them and attack the Turkic camp again, it would be like a decadence. He also ordered the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing to ambush the troops in Fengzhou, and if the enemy fled to the north, they would intercept in front and chase and kill in the back, and destroy them like turning their palms. The reason why I didn't fight this battle was because I had not been on the throne for a long time, the country was not at peace, and the people were not rich, so I should calm it down. In the event of a war with the Turks, the losses were very large. Moreover, I have formed a deeper grudge with the enemy, and I am afraid that they will reorganize their armaments and go south again, and then my wish will not be fulfilled. Therefore, put an end to the fighting, roll up the armor, and reward them with gold silk. When the Turks got what they wanted, they retreated. And this will make them arrogant, and they will no longer repair their armaments, and then our army will be able to raise their power and provoke them, and destroy them in one fell swoop. The so-called will take what you want, you must stick to it, this is the truth. What do you know? ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers can't do it!" ”

(Those who read the history books found that Li Shimin was really powerful!) Well, the big one who voted for me today is really a good comrade! All comrades who read books should take this as an example! It is suggested that this year's May Day model workers and the top ten young people should add this comrade! )
