Chapter Seventy-Three: The Stories of the Turkic Kings

Back in his big tent, Li Zhen briefly introduced the matter, and Wang Jin suddenly said excitedly: "I didn't expect that Your Highness, you still have a holy decree, what does a holy decree look like?" Although I have also worked in the palace, I really haven't seen the holy decree, Your Highness, do you want to show it for us to see? ”

"Am I not?" Lin San shook his hair and pretended to be sad: "I think I Lin San is dignified, although it is not the reincarnation of Pan An and the rebirth of Song Yu, but he is also a rare peerless beautiful man, I have never even seen the holy decree, but I am still a guard in the palace, how unfortunate is this?" ”

"......" Li Ergou's eyes also showed a hint of longing, but he was suffering from the ban order, so he could only signal Zhu Run with his eyes.

"Your Highness......" Zhu Run also wanted to echo, but he didn't want Li Zhen to glare, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, the holy decree can't be joked, just talk about it in front of me, it's not good for others to hear it." ”

Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

"However, it is not without chance that you want to see the Divine Decree." Li Zhen's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: "Now that we have defeated the Turks, as long as Jieli is captured alive, all the generals involved in this war will gather together to sit on the ground and divide ...... Ahem, discuss the control of the situation after the war, and that is also when I will read the holy decree, and you will be able to see it at that time. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Everyone thanked them in unison, as if they were unaware of Li Zhen's slip of the tongue.

"Well, since it's okay, let's all go down."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

All the henchmen retreated, and Li Zhen was left alone in the big tent again, only to see Li Zhen was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled, and muttered: "Jieli, Jieli, you are really a piece of meat and bones, you have attracted so many people to come and rob you, but they are destined to be empty, you still have to fall into my hands in the end, and this time will definitely not be too long, hehehe...... ......"

Li Zhen just got the news that in order to capture Jieli alive, the Sixth Route Army can be regarded as breaking the head, and they have sent their elites to roam the grassland, just eager to scrape the ground.

However, Jieli's life-saving ability is indeed not covered, until now, only Xue Rengui has found Jieli's traces, but because of his weak strength, he didn't dare to touch it, so he could only fall far behind Jieli's army like a wolf pack, trying to wait until they were weak, and then quickly pounce and kill them with one blow.

And judging from the current situation, this time is not far off, because just now, news came from the Foreign Affairs Yamen of the Blood Dragon Guard, Jieli has lost the hearts of the people because of the defeat, and his generals have begun to deviate from Germany. Since yesterday, there have been people who have been fleeing from Jieli's army, either directly dismounting for the people, or defecting to the Tang Dynasty to turn around and attack the Turks, so don't look at Jieli's entire army There are nearly 10,000 people, as long as he is given another period of time, it will automatically collapse, and there will definitely be no second possibility - unless, Jieli can lead the army to win the Tang Dynasty.

But this is impossible, in the case of losing the first move, in the face of the enemy's aggressive attack, the best way is to defend the city, but not to mention whether there are cities or mountains on the grassland, just say that under the siege and interception of the Tang army, Jieli does not even have time to take a breath, and where can he rearm the horses?

And the actual situation is similar to the information Li Zhen received, the grassland is very humid at night, even in the current April fire weather (according to the lunar calendar, April is already summer), you must use a fire to remove the moisture. And there is nothing else on the grassland, but these cute little animals such as flies, mosquitoes, or gadflies are too many to count, and they must also light a fire at night to trap (insects generally have phototaxis, moths to fight fires are the best example, which is also the working principle of mosquito repellent lamps), otherwise they can really sting people.

Jieli's troops are still running very fast, and they have already run through most of the grassland at this time, as long as they give him some more time, maybe they will really let him run to the crossing, but he has no chance, because tonight is his fateful night.

At this time, in the Turkic king's tent, Jieli was discussing important matters with several ministers.

"Khan, when are we going to go?" Qi He Li has not returned to the Tang Dynasty at this time, and is still a general under Jieli's account, but at this time he is already very dissatisfied with Jieli.

"Che Mo Ho Li, pay attention to your tone." Ashina Simo scolded, this guy is Jieli's loyal minister, in the case that everyone betrayed Jieli, but he still unswervingly followed Jieli, and followed Jieli to be captured, after Jieli surrendered, he was considered to have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and he can be said to be loyal to Jieli. Li Shimin appreciated Simo's loyalty and appointed him as the general of the Right Military Candidate and the governor of Huazhou. On the eighth day of the first month of May, Tang Taizong changed the title of Simo to the king of Huaihua County. Soon he was reappointed as the governor of Beikaizhou, and led the old tribe of Jieli Khan to live in the southern region of the Yellow River, and later simply named him Khan, allowing him to restrain the Turkic tribes.

"Okay, don't make any noise, let's listen to what Uncle has to say." It was Ashina who spoke, this guy was the younger brother of the Turki Khan (the little Turkic Khan, the son of the Shibi Khan, and the nephew of the Jieli Khan), and he was indeed the nephew of Jieli by generation.

However, compared to Ashnasmo's loyalty, he is not a good bird, whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or for the Turks. He was originally Jieli's nephew, but he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty after Jieli's defeat, but since you surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, then you can live your life well, but he didn't, and later he wanted to rebel and try to kill Li Shimin.

To put it bluntly, this guy is a white-eyed wolf, he doesn't remember the food he eats, if you beat him up, he will fear you and surrender to you, but once he treats him a little better, he will have the idea that you are nothing more than this, then he will not hesitate to eat you back.

"Yes, Uncle Dubi (Jieli's name, Ashina Dubi), what are you going to think?" Tuli also asked, his attitude was not too good, and he was faintly a little pressing. In fact, the relationship between him and Jieli is not very good, he is the son of Shibi Khan, originally after the death of Shibi Khan, he should inherit the throne, but unfortunately he was only a seventeen-year-old boy at that time, and his uncles jointly elected the younger brother of Shibi Khan on the grounds that he was afraid of lack of qualifications, and he inherited the throne of Khan, which was later known as Chuluo Khan.

Although Chuluo Khan inherited the throne, his life was really bad, and he was a khan for a total of two years (succeeded to the throne in 619 and hummed in 620), and Tuli was only eighteen years old at this time, so his uncles once again elected Ashina Dubi as Khan, that is, Jieli Khan, Jieli in order to appease Tuli and Shibi Khan's subordinates, he named Tuli as a little khan. However, although he is called Little Khan, he still has such a big khan as Jieli on his head, so although the little Khan has a noble status, his power is far inferior to Jieli (it is not as good as Jieli, not nothing, Shibi Khan still left him a little power), at best, he is just regarded as a moving mud bodhisattva.
