Weishui originates from Weiyuan, flows through Tianshui, the hometown of Emperor Xi, stretches to Xianyang, Chang'an and other places, and finally returns to the Yellow River in Tongguan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info into Guanzhong, the terrain gradually flattened, but all the way to the mud and sand, the river still seems a little muddy. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are already some bleak trees by the river, scattering a few dead leaves on the river surface from time to time, mixed with a bit of emerald yellow leaves floating and floating, causing a ripple on the water surface, and quickly erased by the soaring waves.

Originally, it was also a great view. It's just that at this moment, because of the heavy soldiers displayed on both sides of Weishui, the whole picture is full of iron blood and slaughter.

Although it was only early in the morning, the spear heads reflected the soft light of the early sun, and the bright red and bright yellow flags were also dyed with a hint of orange by the color of the early sun. The generals were dressed in bright light armor, which made people feel that they were exuding masculinity at this time. On the other side of the river, the neighing of the Turks, coupled with the incomprehensible rebuke of the Turks, intertwined the beginning of the Weishui peace talks.

Li Shimin and his entourage arrived in Weishui yesterday evening, and after seeing the battle on the opposite side, they roughly estimated the other party's men, which was also about 200,000. After asking about all the arrangements, Li Shimin was relieved and sent everyone back to rest.

The time of the alliance was set at the end of the day, but before the minds of the two sides met, the soldiers underground had already set up a position and demonstrated to each other. After all, this is an old opponent who has been fighting for many years, and the next peace talks are very important, so at this time, the two sides are swinging like this, just to have the upper hand at this time, so that the next boss will be more powerful when he comes out.

Although there are many Turks, the political system of the Turks is destined to be able to rule them, but it is very difficult to have one heart from top to bottom. Therefore, on the Datang side, all the departments in the capital are elite, and the treatment is good, the mental outlook has always been good, and the people are united, so whether it is momentum or voice, it is the Datang side that has the advantage.

Hearing the report of the military general who came in from outside with a smile on his face, and estimated that the time was almost there, Li Shimin took Luo Yan and Wei Chigong to ride up the Weishui Bridge.

Li Shimin doesn't care about who comes first and who comes after at this time. Although there were still some corrupt people shouting in advance that Jieli would come out first and wait for Li Shimin, they were quickly vetoed by Li Shimin.

The situation has already become like this, and I don't care about that little face, if the real peace talks are successful, I can suffer less losses when the time comes, and this can be regarded as having face. And this matter, finally do not need to be followed by those living houses, after all, the peace talks are also a humiliating thing for many people, and they are beaten to the doorstep of the peace talks. Therefore, for the sake of His Holiness, all kinds of details will not be recorded in the "Living Note". Li Shimin simply put down his face and took the initiative to ask Jieli to talk.

The three of them were all wearing regular clothes, and even Wei Chigong took off the armor on his body. Of course, Li Shimin still wore an inner armor on his body, which was woven with metal thread and fine silk, which was said to be able to block arrows fifty steps away. But there is not a trace of it in the coat. As for the blade, Luo Yan still brought a horizontal knife, and Wei Chigong did not bring a double sword, and followed Luo Yan with a horizontal knife, according to him, to make Jieli feel at ease. As for Li Shimin, as long as he can save his life, he doesn't bring any blades or anything.

The three of them were dressed in Confucian shirts, and on the side of the Weishui Bridge, Yu Chigong shouted loudly: "Please also ask Jieli Khan to come and answer." "This is not a loss of amazing combat power, and even this voice is first-class. The loud sound instantly spread to both sides of Weishui. Rubbing his ears that were about to be deafened, Luo Yan couldn't help but complain: "General Wei Chi, it's good to mean it, don't be so loud." The other party can see it, and I'm afraid that I'll be waiting for me to come at this time. ”

Wei Chigong's eyes widened, and he said, "You are a scholar, you haven't grown any hair, what can you understand." Lao Tzu is called shock, do you understand it. When I shouted, their legs were weak, and they came up after a while, and they wanted the lion to open their mouths, and as soon as Lao Tzu's eyes widened, he was cowardly. ”

For Wei Chigong's theory, Luo Yan could only express his admiration, and such a fierce man could come up with such a solution.

In less than half a cup of tea, Jieli also took a few men to the side of the bridge, and the two sides each took a few steps forward, about ten meters apart, before turning over and dismounting.

For this distance, Luo Yanxin said that Li Shimin and Jie Li are really shrewd. They were more than ten meters away from each other, and their expressions were clear, and they were on guard against the possibility of one side suddenly attacking - even if they ran fast and were blocked by their respective men, the other party would definitely be able to escape. Moreover, this position is separated by hundreds of steps from the opponent's army, to say the least, which cuts off the possibility of the opponent's cold arrow.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan also had to admire these people, they deserved to be the boss, and what they did was simply profound.

Next, it is Li Shimin and Jieli who are the protagonists.

After all, the two of them had worshiped each other at the beginning, and although they met each other at this time, there was still a hypocritical politeness. After greeting each other, anyway, if Jieli makes too many detours, he will also be confused, so Li Shimin asked very unceremoniously: "Brother led the army, traveled thousands of miles, killed my soldiers, broke my pass, wouldn't it be just to greet me." ”

Jieli smirked and said, "I was overjoyed when I heard that my brother had inherited the throne, so I brought people to congratulate my brother." It's just that the brother's subordinates blocked all the way, and in desperation, they could only make this decision and raise troops all the way, which disturbed the brother's interest. ”

Hearing Jieli's hypocritical excuse, not to mention Li Shimin, even Luo Yan wanted to vomit when he heard it.

Without being polite to Jieli at all, Li Shimin reprimanded: "On that day, I became brothers with you, established an alliance, and promised not to invade each other. Now, taking advantage of my succession to the throne, the domestic turmoil not only did not help my brother stabilize the external situation, but also took the opportunity to attack my Datang County. Plundered all the way, and I didn't see half of the congratulatory stamps, but every day countless war reports of your invasion came to my desk. Have you forgotten how you made a bloody alliance that day? ”

Jieli smirked, but was speechless to refute.

Li Shimin was still angry at this time, and continued to scold: "I heard that in Turkic, after two people get married, they can put their hearts in their hearts, and they will only do their best to help their brothers, and will not do anything that harms their brothers in the slightest. As the leader of the Turks, if you are so treacherous, are you not afraid that you will lose the trust of the Turkic tribes and turn around and put yourself in danger? ”

After all, Jieli came here to blackmail Li Shimin, so this will allow Li Shimin to break his mouth, Jieli still said: "I am waiting to come, the first is to congratulate my brother, and second, because the offering promised by my brother this year has not been offered, and my sons and daughters of various Turkic tribes are a little unable to stand it, so I want to ask my brother in person, when this offering can be given, and how much can be given." ”

Seeing that Jieli's purpose had been said, Li Shimin's heart was lightened at this time. Well, after all, the other party has no intention of destroying Datang, which is a good thing. As for the offering, no, the reward, you can talk about it.

At the moment, his tone softened, and he replied: "I have just ascended the throne, and there is no time to deal with the issue of worship due to the complicated domestic affairs for a while, so your Excellency can naturally send an envoy to inquire how you can raise troops without authorization." As for the offerings, when I ascended the throne, I spent a lot of money, and now I have exhausted the treasury, and I can make up 50,000 taels of gold and silver, 30,000 pieces of cloth, and 300,000 stones of grain. If you don't have too little, you might as well take them all. ”

Seeing that this number was much lower than in previous years, Jieli was a little annoyed: "How can my brother deceive me, this number is much less than in previous years, even if it costs a lot for my brother to ascend to the throne, but you can't just let me go back." "The amount of grain and grass is barely acceptable, after all, this thing still needs to be stored and transported, and the amount is too large to handle. But some of the gold and silver are too little, and they originally wanted some money to buy things for themselves, and this amount of money is not enough for everyone to share.

Li Shimin was not in a hurry: "I know that my brother is dissatisfied in his heart, and in order to make amends, I made my own opinion, broke the salt ban, and gave the Turkic brothers 50,000 catties of green salt." In the future, although I can't send so much every year, there are still 20,000 catties, and this condition, I think my brother will be happy when he hears it. ”

Salt, as a scarce material in the steppe, had to be purchased by the Turks every year with a lot of money. Coupled with Datang's ban, the price of salt on the grassland is several times higher than that of Datang. I am afraid that the gold and silver that Jieli will come from this trip will be spent on buying salt. Li Shimin's condition is definitely very attractive.

It's just that Jieli is still not satisfied at this time, thinking that if he wants more, not only will his sweat position be stable, but he will also be able to obtain a lot of money, so he did not agree to Li Shimin's conditions, but said: "Brother is deceiving me again, such a number is not enough for me and other departments to consume for a year, we must add more, and send an extra 10,000 catties every year in the future." ”

Li Shimin was angry: "Brother is so greedy, then there is nothing to talk about, I have exhausted the treasury, and the green salt has also taken out all the stocks in recent years, that is, in the future, it will be very difficult for my people to eat green salt, and my brother is not satisfied." In this case, why not start a war here, we will fight to the death, and the future of the province will be empty of our treasury and cause civil unrest. ”

Li Shimin's hand frightened Jieli.

Originally, this time so many people came just to get some benefits, and now there is really going to be a war, looking at the strict military formation on the other side of the river and the military flag faintly appearing in the distance, presumably Li Shimin brought a lot of soldiers and horses. So in the end, Jieli looked back at a scribe behind him, and when he saw this person nodding, he turned around and agreed to Li Shimin's conditions.

The next thing was, naturally, to kill a white horse, and the two formed an alliance again on the banks of the Weishui River.

As he turned to leave, Luo Yan stared at the scribe beside Jieli and smiled strangely.
