Chapter 614: Jieli Seeks Peace

Li Shimin can even tolerate Yang Guang's son, and naturally he doesn't care about one more Empress Xiao or Yang Zhengdao, which also makes Empress Xiao completely relieved, Li Xiu finally told the matter of the marriage between the county lord of Guanghua and Ma Ye, but Queen Xiao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally expressed her blessings, after all, the county lord of Guanghua is different from her, and at the age of the county lord of Guanghua, she really shouldn't live a lonely life.

In addition, Empress Xiao also inquired about the situation of their sister and brother, when she learned that the son of the county lord of Guanghua was adopted by others in Luoyang, and the county lord of Guanghua had never dared to recognize each other, she couldn't help sighing, but she could also understand, and when the Tang Dynasty eliminated the strong enemy of the Turks, Li Shimin's prestige would reach a peak, and no one would be able to shake his throne at that time, and the county lord of Guanghua and their mother and son would be reunited, and she could also take a good look at the child at that time.

A few days later, Li Xiu arranged manpower and sent Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao back to Chang'an, but Zhao Deyan stayed, first, he was most familiar with the things on the grassland, and secondly, there were tens of thousands of former Sui relics in Dingxiang City, Li Xiu could not find a suitable candidate in his hands for a while, so he let him continue to manage the affairs of Dingxiang City.

With Li Xiu's arrival in Dingxiang, the materials in the rear are also continuously transported here, in fact, with the three-way army entering the grassland, Shuozhou has been a little inconvenient, so Li Xiu simply transferred the materials to Dingxiang, and there are also heavy guards around, every once in a while, the army on the front line will send an escort team to receive various materials.

At the same time, Jieli, who had experienced the defeat of the Hunhe River, was also like a lost dog, fleeing north in a hurry, but Qin Qiong's army had been biting tightly, and from time to time took advantage of Jieli's slack to sneak attack, which made Jieli angry and hateful.

It was also in Jieli's army that had just fled to Baidao, and it looked like it was about to reach the Yinshan Mountain Range, but at this time, it suddenly encountered Li Ji's army in the clouds, compared to Qin Qiong's elite cavalry, the army led by Li Ji was mainly infantry, and the number of firearms carried was also more, and he set up a position on Baidao, and directly confronted Jieli's army.

Jieli's army was originally above Li Ji's number, but it had been killed by Qin Qiong before, and the materials were burned, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Turkic army, so when fighting with Li Ji's army, the Turks did not have the slightest upper hand, and the two armies were in a state of stalemate at the beginning.

However, at this critical moment, Qin Qiong's elite cavalry finally killed from behind Jieli, and as a result, under the attack of the two armies, the Turkic army was defeated, and more than 100,000 people were killed by the Tang army and fled in all directions, Jieli could not control the situation at that time, and finally had no choice but to lead the guards around him to escape.

The battle of Baidao marked the Tang army's official defeat of the core power of the Turks, and Jieli finally fled to a place called Tieshan near the Yinshan Mountain Range, and then began to collect the fleeing Turks, and finally there were only more than 50,000 people left, most of whom were old and young women, and there were less than 20,000 people who could fight, and the materials were extremely scarce.

In the face of this situation, Li Ji and Qin Qiong were going to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they suddenly received a military order from Li Jing, ordering them to stand by and never send troops without authorization, which made Li Ji and Qin Qiong's army also scolded, and many people said that Li Jing was afraid that Li Ji and Qin Qiong would eliminate Jie Lizhen, so that Li Jing's middle route army would not be able to grab any credit, so they stopped them from pursuing.

The battle reports on the front line were continuously sent to Chang'an, but they all needed to pass through Li Xiu's transit on the way, and some urgent information needed to be transmitted by the Fei Nu Division, but no matter what channel was passed, Li Xiu could learn about the movements of the front line at the first time.

Others scolded Li Jing for being greedy, so he didn't let Qin Qiong and Li Ji chase after him, but Li Xiu knew that Li Jing might have a little selfish intention in doing this, but he was more afraid of scaring Jieli, and then really crossed Yinshan into Mobei, and then they were afraid that they wouldn't want to catch Jieli again, so he ordered Li Ji and Qin Qiong not to pursue, in fact, he wanted to give Jieli a chance to breathe, so as not to really scare Jieli into Mobei, even if the environment in Mobei is bad, but Jieli has so many people to protect him, he may not die in Mobei, but as long as he doesn't die, It is a huge threat to Datang.

Of course, Li Xiu can think of the above, and I am afraid that Li Ji and Qin Qiong can also think of this, but they are very tacitly not helping Li Jing to defend themselves, firstly, they may be afraid of revealing the news, and secondly, they are afraid that they are a little resentful of Li Jing in their hearts, after all, they can catch Jieli when they see it, but they are forced to press it down, even if they know the reason, they must be uncomfortable in their hearts, so they are happy to see Li Jing being blamed by the soldiers in the army.

However, although he was criticized by many people, Li Jing's strategy still worked, after Jieli was temporarily stationed in Tieshan, he found that the Tang army did not chase after him, which made him finally relieved, and he also knew at this time that only with the strength in his hands now, he was definitely not the opponent of the Tang army, so he immediately sent his stubborn strength to Li Jing's camp, begged for peace with the Tang Dynasty, and was even willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, just to spare his life.

Of course, Jieli will not really give in to Datang, he just hopes to temporarily let Datang withdraw from the army, and then seize the time to recover his strength, after all, the big husband can bend and stretch, and wait until he recovers his strength in the future, and then find a chance to snow today's shame!

In the face of Jieli's request for peace, Li Jing was very enthusiastic on the surface, so as to paralyze Jieli, and also temporarily delayed Jieli's request for peace on the grounds that he had no right to negotiate peace and needed to ask Li Shimin in Chang'an for instructions, and secretly looked for fighters, preparing to annihilate Jieli in one fell swoop.

However, Jieli was already a frightened bird at this time, and he was ready to flee north at any time, which made Li Jing dare not attack for a while, because he was not sure that he would be able to catch Jieli in one fell swoop, so the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.

Li Xiu of Dingxiang City also quickly received the news of the stalemate on the front line, which made him also a little sad, compared to the war on the front line, he was actually more worried about another thing, that is, as time went by, the weather became colder and colder, and the winter on the grassland was originally earlier than Chang'an, so during this time, Li Xiu has also been worried that if it snows, I am afraid that it will cause great difficulties to the transportation of materials, in case of a heavy snowstorm like last year, Li Jing and others on the front line will be even more dangerous.

It was also during this critical period that a character who could solve the impasse in front of him suddenly came from Chang'an, and first arrived in Dingxiang to meet Li Xiu!
