Li Shimin drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and after the soldiers finished eating and drinking, he forcibly dragged his tired body onto the war horse and came to the bridge to have a second meeting with Jieli.

* As soon as there was a move here, Jieli received the news that he dressed up and came to the bridge with a smile on his face to greet Li Shimin.

"Figured it out so quickly? It seems that Tang Huang is also a smart person, and the so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man! ”

"Jieli." Li Shimin said calmly and calmly: "I will not agree to any of your requests, it is still too late for you to retreat now, I promise you that I will not stop you on the way home, otherwise it will ......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand, and saw countless people and horses suddenly appear on the hills on both sides, and he looked fixedly, only to see that there were about 20,000 people on the hills on his left and right, that is, 40,000 people, and this time the situation was reversed!

As soon as these two people appeared, the leader stood on the horse and shouted loudly: "Weichen Wei Chi Gong (Li Siyuan), the escort is late, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

"Haha Aiqing is exempt!" Li Shimin was very happy: "Jieli, the current situation has changed, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Li Shimin, do you think that these 40,000 more people can beat me? Don't forget, this time our Eastern and Western Turkic Alliance sent 100,000 troops, you still obediently accept my conditions, otherwise when the Turks come, I'm afraid the conditions will be doubled! ”

"Jieli, Sudden Shi won't come!" Li Siyuan stood on the top of the hill and shouted loudly: "You should know the task of Tushi, now that I, Li Siyuan, am standing here, why do you think Tong Tushi didn't come?" ”

"Huangkou child, don't be alarmist!" Jie Li pointed at Li Siyuan with his finger and said, "Are you really Li Siyuan, let's not talk about it for the time being, just rely on your little strength to get the sudden attack?" ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Jieli, who said that he would only withdraw if he had been able to fight Tushi?" The Turks have already sent someone to contact me, and he told me to drag you to death here, so that he can go back and dominate the Eastern and Western Turkic tribes! However, I think that we are here to fight to the death and let others gain advantage in vain, and it will not be of any benefit to my Datang, so I will make it clear to you that it is up to you to decide whether to retreat or not to retreat now! “

Jieli didn't know whether what Li Shimin said was true or not, their Eastern and Western Turks seemed to be monolithic, but in fact, the contradiction between the open and the secret has never been broken, and the situation Li Shimin said was not impossible, so for a while, he couldn't help frowning, and it was difficult to choose!

"Khan, what Li Shimin said may not be impossible, Tushi must have a lot of trouble coming here for a long time, and our rangers have been going and not coming back since they were sent out yesterday, now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being intercepted!"

The military advisor's words made Jieli's brows furrow deeper and deeper, Li Shimin didn't give him extra time to think, and stood at the head of the bridge and shouted: "Jieli, can you think about it?" Do you want to retreat now, or do you let me beat you away? If you still have to stalemate with me here, I will definitely not be soft, even if you escape from Datang and return to your hometown, there will be no place for you to stand! ”

"I have heard that the people of the Central Plains are generous, this time my army is mobilized, Emperor Tang must not bear to watch us go home hungry, right?" Jieli gritted his teeth and shouted cheekily at Li Shimin on the other side of the bridge.

Li Shimin glared at the two eyeballs: "Is it possible to let me invite you to dinner?" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves: "The Tang soldiers listen to the order and prepare to fight!" ”

got Li Shimin's signal, whether it was the soldiers on the hill or the 30,000 soldiers behind Li Shimin, the shouts made at the same time!

"Roar, roar, roar........"

The shouts were low and regular, and each sound seemed to knock on the heart of a person, making people feel irritable!

"Emperor Tang is slow!" Unable to resist this kind of pressure, Jie Li shouted to Li Shimin, who was about to return to the camp: "It's okay to ask us to retreat, but you must promise not to block it on the road, otherwise even if the fish dies and the net is broken, you won't be able to wait!" ”

Turning the horse's head, Li Shimin said with a smile: "As the son of the Tang Dynasty, I guarantee that your road home will be unimpeded, you can rest assured!" ”

Jieli is not suspicious, although the soldiers are not tired of deceit, but the identity of the Tang Dynasty is so noble, since Li Shimin has made such a guarantee, he will definitely not intercept and ambush himself and others on the road!

Without superfluous words, Jie Li turned his horse's head and gave orders to his camp: "Pull out the camp and go home!" ”

It wasn't until sunset that the 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses disappeared one after another at the end of the sky, during which Li Siyuan had already come to Li Shimin's side and accompanied him to quietly watch the situation across the river!

"Your Majesty, the Turks have retreated, and the weather is cold, let's go back early!"

Li Shimin turned his head with a smile, but Li Siyuan was startled, only to see that his face was pale, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, Datang can't live without you!" Li Siyuan was worried about Li Shimin's body, so he hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground, begging Li Shimin to return to the camp!

"It's okay, I know it!" Li Shimin also personally dismounted and helped Li Siyuan up: "This crisis is thanks to Aiqing to save the day, so that I and Datang can avoid this shame!" ”

"It's all Your Majesty's command, the ministers don't dare to take credit, and what Weichen does is what he should do as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and instructed Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao, I will give you 5,000 cavalry, you must keep an eye on Jieli all the way, and don't let him make the slightest move!" ”

"Command!" Qin Qiong took the order and retreated.

Li Siyuan stood behind Li Shimin and said: "Weichen thinks that he should also intercept Tushi's men and horses, and at the same time cut off his connection with Jieli. ”

"Why do you want to volley and not volley?" Li Shimin looked at Li Siyuan thoughtfully.

"First, Tu Shi's troops are weak, and it is easy to intercept, and the other is that Tu Shi is Tu Li's own brother, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, and Tu Li is more reckless than Jie Li, if he knows that Jie Li and our alliance are trying to kill his brother, maybe he will start a war with Jie Li in a fit of anger!"

"Well, what a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!" After Li Shimin praised Li Siyuan, he said to Li Jing: "This matter is handled by Lao Aiqing, and I will issue an order to let all the military camps along the road fully cooperate with you!" ”

"Now that the soldiers and horses of the various provinces will be able to reach Chang'an in a few days, why do you still worry that there will be contact between them?" After Li Jing was ordered to retreat, Li Shimin began to question Li Siyuan again.

"What Weichen is worried about now is not that they will kill a horse pistol, but that once they get together, they will inevitably loot, kill people and set fire everywhere, which will make my Datang life miserable and the people will not be able to make a living, in this way, not only will I lose the majesty of my Datang, but also hurt the root of my Datang!"

After Li Siyuan finished speaking, Li Shimin laughed heartily: "Worried about the country and the people, Aiqing is really a loyal minister, it is really a great luck for me, a great luck for the Tang Dynasty, and a great luck for the people!" ”
