The crime is the same as what Li Shimin said, colluding with the Turks and attempting to rebel.

Daddy's actions, although they are high-sounding, but Sima Zhao's heart, people with a little brains actually already know.

Taiyuan has been in chaos.

Nominally, Liu Wenjing is the messenger, and I am just a follower.

I found that Liu Wenjing hated me very much as a follower, completely ignoring my identity as the chief son of the Tang State Mansion, and commanding me like any other entourage, in fact, I didn't provoke him anywhere.

His attitude towards me reminded me that this man was Li Shimin's man.

Shibi heard that the Taiyuan left-behind envoy came to negotiate again, so he specially changed into the clothes of a Confucian scholar, and looked a little nondescript in the big tent of the Turks, just like us.

Shi Bi saw Liu Wenjing, turned behind him again, and soon found me in his entourage.

He walked towards Liu Wenjing, and Liu Wenjing gave a salute. Shibi ignored him, walked up to me and said with a smile: "Taiyuan was left behind by your father, he has already sent someone here before, and I have made it very clear that he will not be the emperor, and I will never interfere." ”

Liu Wenjing turned around and said to Shi Bi: "Khan, Tang ......"

Before he could say the word "gong", he brushed his sleeves and said, "I'm talking to your son, you wait a minute!" ”

After speaking, he continued: "But if you open your mouth, I can consider it." ”

Liu Wenjing bowed down and stood in front of Shi Bi with an embarrassed face, I thought about it and smiled: "My father originally had no objection, but Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and raised troops, and now he has broken through Loufu and occupied Fenyang Palace. ”

Shi Bi laughed and said, "According to what you said, I have fulfilled you?" ”

He waved his hand, "Say, how much?" ”

I pondered for a moment with my hands behind my back before saying, "Four thousand." ”

Shi Bi shook his head in disappointment and said, "Four thousand cavalry, what do you want to do?" Siege Luoyang or advance Chang'an? These are not enough. ”

I settled down a little in my heart and said with a smile: "If it is not enough, unless you pick the old, weak, sick and disabled to me, otherwise with your four thousand iron horses, it is enough to set foot in Heluo and take Chang'an directly." ”

Of course, these words were only used to provoke the beginning, and I later knew that this Haikou was too exaggerated.

When Shi Bi heard this, his pride seemed to be stimulated, and he didn't care about his own costume as a Chinese centrist, he walked to the table and slapped it violently, and said loudly: "Okay! I'll believe you once today! ”

As he spoke, he summoned the entourage on the side, and said a few words of Turkic language, Zimin taught me, and I could tell that he was looking for someone to go outside the tent to order troops.

Shi Bi said to Liu Wenjing: "Okay, that's it, Li Jiancheng and I will stay, and the rest of you will rest here for one night, if there are any other things, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Shi Bi came south far away from the Turkic tent, in fact, just to plunder the towns outside the Guan, to obtain slaves and livestock, as for the capture of the city, they did not want to capture it, but they were used to the nomadic life, and did not need the city at all.

Shibi and I walked outside the tent, a piece of withered grass, the remnants of winter were not over, the snow had not yet melted, and the wind was blowing on the face, still as uncomfortable as a knife.

I looked into the distance, remembering that I was injured by Yuwen Zhihe, and I was trapped in the desert for a long time, and somehow, I suddenly felt a little sentimental.

Shibi smiled and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to come back to me. ”

I laughed loudly, "You're underestimating me, aren't you?" ”

Shi Bi nodded and said, "For the first time, you believed me in the teahouse without asking for reasons and became friends with me; The second time, you believed me again without reason, and as a result, you were deceived by me and almost died; The third time, when you broke into the tooth tent single-handedly for your wife, and talked about the world with me, you still believe me, I really don't know where your confidence comes from, and you are not afraid that I will kill you? ”

I said, "Believe it, it turns out that you didn't kill me." ”

Shi Bi smiled and said, "You still don't know how to deceive after all, but your brother is different, he also came to me, but ...... He is not as pure as you, I think you are more like us, your brother, more like those self-righteous Central Plains rotten Confucians. ”

I know that he is referring to Pei Ju, although the time has not been short, he is still haunted by Shi Shu Huxi's death.

4,000 people borrowed, and before Liu Wenjing and I returned to Taiyuan with the people, there were scouts who came to me from Taiyuan, saying that it was not good for Daddy to crusade against the Lishan snitch Zhen Zhai'er, and the thousands of soldiers led by Zhen Zhai'er were surrounded by Zhen Zhai'er in the Hexi Bird Mouse Valley, and they couldn't break through at all.

Although there were already Sui soldiers reinforced from Jinyang, Wang Wei and Gao Junya were arrested by their father, and the Sui soldiers were unstable and had no enthusiasm at all.

In this case, the borrowed 4,000 cavalry can just try the edge.

I don't want to discuss it with Liu Wenjing, but no matter what, he is a trusted advisor to my father, and I can't ignore him.

But these Turks ...... There is another problem, if you really help your father, even if you admit that your father has rebelled.

Zhen Zhai'er's people surrounded the Bird Mouse Valley, and according to the scout who finally broke out of the valley, the people in Daddy's hands were only 5,000, and there was no reliable staff officer by his side.

If you want a foolproof strategy, you can not only save your father, but also stabilize the hearts of people in Taiyuan.

I thought about it, according to the terrain reported by the scouts, I divided the four thousand cavalry into three teams, gave Liu Wenjing three thousand, attacked from the front, and the remaining one thousand people divided five hundred to the scouts, let him return the same way, harass the flank, and I took the remaining five hundred people on the periphery to think that it was a solution.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Wenjing began to test at the mouth of the valley, and the other party found that someone was coming, and waited in formation, waiting for the rabbit.

At the same time, the scout took five hundred people to harass on the flank, taking advantage of the chaos to climb over the hill and enter the valley, if everything goes well, the father in the valley and Liu Wenjing in the valley can be combined inside and outside, and they will be horns for each other.

Things are simpler than I imagined, just when Liu Wenjing ordered the Turks to attack with all their might, Li Shimin came with 30,000 reinforcements, the army in his hand was the regular army of the imperial court, and he often fought with his father, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The arrival of reinforcements resolved all the crises, and before Zhen Zhai'er gave the order to retreat, some people had already fled.

After a burst of shouts and killing, the reinforcements had already broken through the valley mouth, and when they saw the Turkic soldiers led by Liu Wenjing, they first avoided them, and then counterattacked, Liu Wenjing was shocked and could not refute it, so he had to retreat from the valley mouth.

After Dad came out of the valley, he turned around and attacked Zhen Zhai'er's people.

Strangely, he did not attack in person, but broke away from the large army in the name of pursuing the bandit leader, and handed over the command of the army to Liu Hongji, the deputy general who took refuge in his father.

I didn't have to wait long outside the Bird Valley, and my father rushed into the encirclement I had set up with dozens of horsemen.

Five hundred Turkic soldiers swarmed out and surrounded Daddy in the center.
