Chapter 74: Arrogant Strength

The army led by Li Shimin arrived a few hours earlier than expected, and the troops of the Turkic forces led by Jieli had already received the news of the peace talks, and they set up camp on the other side of the Weishui Bridge early.

At about half past 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Shimin led more than 30,000 people to stand by the Weishui Bridge, looking at the opposite side of the nearly double number of troops than his own side and frowned, he knew very well in his heart that this negotiation must not be so simple, if Jieli could not tear off a piece of fat from Datang's body, he would definitely not give up!

Just when Li Shimin was looking at the situation on the other side, a group of people walked out of the Chinese army tent on the opposite side and slowly walked towards Li Shimin.

"Huh", Jie Li pulled the reins of the horse to stop the horse, and looked at Li Shimin across the bridge from the Weishui Bridge, while Li Shimin looked at him, he was also looking at Li Shimin, today Li Shimin is wearing a black armor, a white war horse, and a bottle of joint with a sword around his waist, which looks also mighty, and his body naturally flows out of a superior breath!

Jieli and Li Shimin couldn't help frowning secretly when they saw each other's appearance, at this moment, they had already listed each other as the only opponent they had seen in their lives!

"Is it Tang Emperor Li Shimin?" Jieli's words were clear and loud, revealing a sense of confidence.

"It's me!" Li Shimin shouted loudly on the other side of the bridge: "Jieli, the Eastern and Western Turks have already repaired with my Datang and signed an agreement?" Do you know why today you have treacherously invaded our land and killed my people? ”

Although he heard the anger in Li Shimin's words, Jie Li said nonchalantly: "The Tang Emperor who reconciled with us is Li Yuan, you Li Shimin can actually make such a great rebellious act as usurping the throne, why can't our Turkic tribes except you, a great rebel, for the real Tang Emperor?" ”

"Full of nonsense! My throne is my father's throne and my father is located in me, where did you come from to usurp the throne? Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his chest: "I know that you are only here for some money and food, so let's do it, our Datang is willing to pay all the costs of your war, and you should quickly retreat and leave, after all, it is not good for anyone to fight to the death!" ”

"Hahahaha....." After listening to Li Shimin's words, he couldn't stop laughing: "Li Shimin, are you calling Huazi?" What else is a fight to the death! Don't look at the current situation, our troops are more than twice as large as yours, and the Tuli side will be able to get here in a few days, what are you going to fight with me? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the angry Li Shimin: "But, I think you are also dignified, and it is estimated that the remarks of the prisoner father and brother are just rumors, but it is not easy for my army to come to Datang with all the people, so you can't go back empty-handed, right?" In this way, I happen to have a list here, if you can agree after reading it, we will withdraw immediately, if not, we will set foot in Chang'an, and we will not return! ”

After he finished saying this, there were naturally guards behind him who handed over the list to * for Li Shimin to see.

After opening the list, Li Shimin only looked at the beginning, and his face jumped with anger, the list is not long, but the number written on it is indeed amazing: 10,000 war horses, 10,000 beauties, 100,000 quintals of grain and grass......... The number listed above can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands!

This is to regret my Datang! Li Shimin threw the list on the ground in anger: "Jieli Xiaoer, you deceive people too much, it is impossible for me to agree to such conditions!" ”

In the face of Li Shimin's angry scolding, Jie Li just smiled, he was not afraid that Li Shimin would not agree, after all, the gap between the two sides' strength was there: "Li Shimin, you don't have to rush to answer Ben Khan first, go back and think about it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked back, halfway through he seemed to remember something, turned back to Li Shimin and said: "Oh yes, there is another one I forgot to write, from today onwards, the Tang Dynasty still needs to be vassals to us, and the annual coins and tributes must not be missing every year!" In addition, Ben Khan is hungry, tonight's dinner is the white horse under your crotch, remember to bring it to me! ”

In the face of triumphant Jie Li and his provocation, the anger in Li Shimin's chest became more and more intense, and in the end, he only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of poisonous blood gushed out, and immediately, he lost consciousness and fainted!

When he woke up again, more than half an hour had passed, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was to ask the generals and ministers around him: "Do you Aiqing have a way to help me tide over the difficulties?" ”

Looking at Li Shimin, who was pale and depressed, everyone quietly dripped their heads, not that they didn't want to share their worries for Li Shimin, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and all the conspiracies and tricks were just chickens and dogs in the face of the huge strength gap!

"Could it be that God really wants to destroy my Datang?" Looking at the silent crowd, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and cried out!

Just when the big tent was lifeless and the ministers had nothing to do, a blood-stained General Xiong came to the tent: "Report, General Wei Chi's secret letter, please let the emperor take a look!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the little eunuch who had been with him quickly ran forward to take the secret letter from the messenger and handed it to Li Shimin.

Holding the secret letter in his hand, Li Shimin carefully checked the sealed beeswax and found that there was nothing unusual, so he opened the letter, he only took a look at it and knew that this letter was not written by Wei Chigong, it was obvious that this was Li Siyuan's handwriting!

When he finished reading the letter, a smile gradually appeared on his face: "God help me, God help me!" Come on, come on, you all come and see, is this method feasible? ”

Seeing Li Shimin's happy face, everyone stepped forward curiously to read the contents of the letter, and the letter paper was the first to be taken by Li Jing, and everyone had to surround him and look at the contents of the letter.

After reading it, everyone frowned and was silent, and Li Shimin had to ask by name: "Shubao, do you think it is feasible?" ”

"The Admiral thinks it's possible!"

After receiving Qin Qiong's affirmative reply, Li Shimin looked at Li Jing again, and Li Jing hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general also thinks it's feasible!" ”

"I don't know a lot of words, so I don't know if it's feasible!" Without waiting for Li Shimin to ask, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly answered.

As soon as his words came out, it immediately attracted a burst of laughter in the big tent, and the depressing atmosphere was also diluted a lot, and Li Shimin said angrily: "I didn't plan to ask you originally!" ”

After ridiculing Cheng and biting the gold, Li Shimin instructed again: "Command the three armies, start eating, after eating and drinking, I will go to meet for a while, and see what arrogance he has this time!" ”
