The Longshan Trail is the way for Jieli Khan to attack Chang'an City, and he also chose to return here.

But unfortunately, he still did not escape the ambush of the Tang army.

Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the middle of the road, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were also coldly opposed, and a large number of elites behind them were waiting for each other.

"Jieli Khan, the prince of my family has already calculated that you will pass through here, and the three of you have been waiting here for a long time, and now you are sleepy and tired, so you should quickly dismount and surrender, so as not to cause your people to die!"

Guan Yu said coldly.

Jieli Khan was furious and said: "Warriors, now our way back has been cut off by the Tang Army, only by fighting to the death can we have life, warriors, rush!" ”

With that, he took the lead in the charge.

Not to mention, the Turks really burst out with strong combat effectiveness, but when they encounter the army in the synthetic space, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Most of the armies in these synthetic spaces are elite, proficient in five-bird play, and proficient in overall combat tactics.

Soon, they divided and surrounded the Turks, and then began a one-sided attack.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were all ten thousand enemies, and their invincibility was a true portrayal, and the Turks were really difficult to resist, and they were quickly defeated.

Jieli Khan kept breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead, who would have thought that the Tang army was a ruthless character, this group of Tang troops dealt with the Turks, and the tactics were basically the same, three or five people were a group, forming a team, and its lethality was so great that the Turks couldn't stop it at all.

However, Jieli Khan has no way to retreat, and if he takes another road, I am afraid that he will still encounter the Tang army.

Therefore, Jieli Khan can only order the Turks to fight to the death, and it would be best if they could break through, but if it doesn't work, then forget it.

The two sides competed in Yongsan, one side wanted to break through, and the other insisted on crushing.

The battle lasted for a day and a night, but the Turks still did not break through, but left corpses all over the ground, and there were less than a hundred people left around Jieli Khan, who was surrounded on a high ground and had nowhere to escape.

Early the next morning, the Tang army launched a final attack, and there were fewer and fewer people around Jieli Khan.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun rushed towards Jieli Khan at the same time, Jieli Khan's heart was like ashes, and he mustered up the last courage, he waved the scimitar in his hand and rushed towards Zhao Yun, but was shot off his horse by Zhao Yun and captured alive!

"Jieli Khan, you have committed a lot of crimes, if you surrendered yesterday, how could you have killed so many tribesmen? Let's go, come with us to Chang'an City! ”

Zhao Yun shouted coldly.

Jieli Khan was soon pressed into a prisoner cart and headed straight for Chang'an City.

When they arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, there were countless onlookers.

And Ming Jian, who learned the news, also greeted him personally at the city gate.

Seeing Jieli, Ming Jian rode forward on his horse and said with a slight smile: "Khan, don't come to harm?" ”

Jie Li said with a red face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Tang Dynasty has won, and Ben Khan has nothing to say, but it is good to die quickly and avoid humiliation." ”

Ming Jian smiled: "Khan is too worried, the Tang Dynasty is a civilized state, how could he do such a thing?" However, I am afraid that the rest of the Khan's life can only be spent in Chang'an City, and I ask the Khan to forgive me. ”

Ming Jian said very politely, but Jieli had a dead face, he knew very well his end, that is, to be under house arrest until he grew old.

Jieli was quickly taken to the Taiji Hall, and Li Yuan's mood at this moment was like drinking a can of cold beer on a dog day, not to mention how refreshing it was.

"Yo, isn't this a khan? Why was he accidentally caught by my soldiers? ”

Li Yuan quipped.

Jieli smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty said that you are joking, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army is very strong, Ben Khan miscalculated, he knew this, how dare he offend the Tang Tianwei?" ”

"Haha, you are very right, this battle, you Turks are completely finished, you khan, just be a free marquis, I will make you live a very comfortable life. Someone came, took Xiaoyao Hou down, and prepared a place for him to live, but he was left alive. ”

Li Yuan said.

After Jieli was taken away, Ming Jian said: "Father, now that Jieli has been arrested, the Turks will definitely be torn apart, and it is inevitable that there will be people who will rob the Tang Dynasty, so we will send a large army into the Northern Desert to help the Turks seize power, and at the same time sweep away the remnants of the former Sui to ensure that no one in the world will oppose our Tang Dynasty!" ”

"What my son said is very reasonable, so I don't know who to send in charge?" Li Yuan nodded and asked.

The candidate for Ming Jian at this time is naturally Li Jing, this is a great military strategist, with him sitting in the Northern Desert, Datang will be able to fully develop production.

"Father, son-in-law thinks that this person must be Li Jing! In addition, the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion under the command of Erchen will enter the Northern Desert to strike at those nomads who do not obey the Tang Dynasty. ”

Ming Jian said.

Li Yuan also nodded, Li Jing performed very well in the battle of the Tang Dynasty to pacify all kinds of anti-kings, he was indeed a master of strategy, and his military command art was very strong.

With him in charge, Li Yuan was really relieved.

"Then according to what you said, come here, spread Li Jing into the palace!"

Li Yuan nodded and said.

After a while, Li Jing came to the Taiji Hall.

"Weichen Li Jing, see Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan said: "Pharmacist, the Jieli people have been wiped out, I need someone to pass through the north, the prince recommended you, how do you reply to me?" ”

Li Jing couldn't help but glance at Ming Jian, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister must live up to his mission, and let the Turkic tribes become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty and guard the frontier for the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Jing is trying to turn the Turks into the people of the Tang Dynasty, this method, that is once and for all, as for the method, Li Jing probably also has a draft in his heart.

Li Yuan said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then I will appoint you as the captain of the Turkic Protector and have full authority to manage Turkic affairs!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing received the order.

However, Ming Jian then pulled Li Jing aside and said to him: "Pharmacist, that Turki has signed a covenant, which can help him very well, and the position of Turki is stable, then the Turks will not have any threat to the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks will be good helpers in the future of the Lone West Expedition." ”

Li Jing also understood the meaning of Ming Jian, and he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the minister understands what to do." ”

Three days later, Li Jing led a force consisting of artillery, Shenji battalion, and cavalry to escort Tuli back to the Northern Desert.

And this battle, the effect of bringing to the Tang Dynasty has gradually been reflected, the people's confidence in the imperial court is very sufficient, since the Tang army can defeat the powerful Turks, they will naturally love the imperial court more and support the imperial court.

As for those families, they also saw the strength of the imperial court, and their hearts began to get closer to the imperial court.

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly summoned Ming Jian.
