Chapter Fifty-Eight: Northwest Shooting the Sky Wolf 11

"The national teacher is serious, the old woman is not a queen, and she can't afford to be a national teacher's deal"

Zhao Deyan didn't care and continued, "The queen is too careful, no matter how you say it, she is also a Han person, but the Sui Dynasty fled to this grassland in order to save her life." ”

The old woman snorted and did not answer. Zhao Deyan whispered, "Queen, you must also miss the scenery of the Central Plains, you have no other ideas, there is a good opportunity for you to return to your homeland, I don't know if the queen is willing"

The old woman's eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhao Deyan and said, "Where is the national teacher, isn't it that the Great Khan sees that the old woman is useless and wants to give up us?" ”

"The queen is too worried, that Jieli is about to come to a catastrophe, it is a good opportunity for us to return to the south, the queen can not only return to her homeland, but also escape from this cage, and just ask for a place to live."

After all, the old woman has gone through many years, and she is still the queen, how could she be moved by Zhao Deyan, a wicked man, in a few words, now it is not the Sui Dynasty, she and her grandson were caught on this grassland and never thought that they would be able to go back one day, unless they died. She couldn't be clearer about what Jie Li was thinking, if it weren't for the reputation of the queen, her grandson would be Yang Guang's bloodline. It has value for him,. How could it be possible to let them go. Who can guarantee that Zhao Deyan is telling the truth, this Zhao Deyan is a traitor who has always made suggestions for the Turks. He would be so kind.

Zhao Deyan looked at the old woman and turned to the children, "The queen has some scruples, it is understandable, if I tell you, without Jieli's protection, this child will be killed immediately." What do you think?"

The old woman took her grandson behind her and said, "What do you want to do?" Jieli promised me that I would not harm the government."

Zhao Deyan smiled and said, "Jieli,." He can't protect himself now, how can he still care about you, tell you, you must obey my arrangement, and send you back to the Central Plains when the time comes, if you don't listen to me, don't blame me for being ruthless. After speaking, he turned around and left angrily, under the pretext of arranging for the guards to be strictly guarded.

The old woman looked at her grandson lovingly and sighed, "It seems that something big is about to happen, and our grandparents and grandchildren are about to fall away again." Alas"

"If the grandmother doesn't cry, the grandson will be well-behaved"

The Turkic and Tang sides temporarily ceased fighting. At the same time, they are stepping up preparations for a decisive battle, and Jieli is gathering all the troops he can mobilize. The other side sent envoys to Chang'an to sue for peace.

On the other side, the three armies of the Tang Dynasty on the expedition against the Turks also gathered together according to the time to discuss the decisive battle against the Turkic royal court.

In the camp tent of the general manager of the march on Dingxiang Road, Li Jing. Li Ji, Li Daozong. Li De, Wei Chi Jingde, Su Dingfang, Zhang Baoxiang, Zhang Gongjin and a large number of other generals sat around and discussed the war.

Li Jing, as the coach, said, "Everyone, this time to attack the Turks, my Datang has already gained an advantage. At present, all three armed forces are in place. It's time for a decisive battle. Ben divided the preparation army into three routes. They launched an attack together, General Li Ji led one to attack the left flank of the Turks, General Li Daozong led one to attack the right flank of the Turks, and the general himself led the Chinese army to decide the victory or defeat in a battle. ”

All the generals present agreed to Li Jing's plan after a long time on the battlefield, in fact, in a war of more than 100,000 people like this, no conspiracy and trickery can play an effective role, let alone the boundless grassland on this grassland, that is, there is no city to defend and no danger to ambush. The Tang Dynasty and the Turks can only set up a position, and the dignified soldiers will fight against the generals. In the end, it will be up to you to see who falls first.

The guards outside the tent came in and announced, "The chief of Qiqi, Your Majesty's envoy has arrived"

Li Jing stood up and said, "Please." All the soldiers will meet the messenger with me."

Before they could get out of the big tent, the messenger sent by Li Shimin walked in first. Haha smiled and said, "Wei Gong." So polite. The old man was flattered. ”

Li Jing saw that it was an old colleague and said, "It turned out to be Tang Shangshu, I don't know what His Majesty's purpose is when he sent you?" ”

At that time, Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, replied, "I have seen the chief manager, the generals. Tell the truth. His Majesty sent the old man over to negotiate peace with the Turks. ”

As soon as the words fell, all the generals exploded, and Wei Chigong was the first to jump out and say, "Tang Jian, don't lie to me." Seeing that this is about to destroy the Turks, why is Your Majesty discussing peace with the Turks at this time, Your Majesty has not wanted to destroy the Turks for a day or two. ”

Li De also said, "Yes." How could such a good opportunity be spared. ”

Everyone shouted grievances

Tang Jian knew that he would definitely be like this, and he was not angry, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone." Old man Rong said slowly. Your Majesty is also forced to do so, the Jieli Khan recently sent an envoy to arrive in Chang'an, bypassing the army, asking to see Your Majesty, first explained the Turkic attack on Su, the matter of the two states of Gan is not the command of Jieli, and at the same time is willing to bow down to our court, and His Majesty is the Khan of the sky. And presented a large number of financial reports, horses, cattle and sheep. His Majesty saw this and sent the old man to negotiate with the Turks. ”

As soon as Tang Jian said this, everyone didn't expect that Jieli would be so timid, he had already surrendered before the decisive battle, so that this breath was blocked in everyone's chests, and he couldn't get angry, our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and this family has surrendered, so it's not good to start.

Although I want to say that I don't agree, but this is a holy decree, and they don't dare to go against His Majesty's will, Li Jing saw that he was about to make an immortal feat, but he had a bad move, so he could only accept it, and said, "Lord Tang is coming from afar, please go down and rest first, we will follow Your Majesty's will, and withdraw the army when Lord Tang returns from negotiations." ”

Tang Jian was satisfied with Li Jing's statement, and if he had the chief manager, he would be relieved and walked out of the big tent under the leadership of the guards.

Wei Chigong was unwilling, "Boss, just let Jieli go?" I'm not reconciled."

Li Ji, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "Your Majesty has made an order, whatever else do you want, go down and rest first." ”

Li Jing did not speak, indicating acquiescence. The generals walked out of the big tent one after another. This great achievement is right in front of you, and no one is willing to be suddenly given up like this.

When everyone left, there were still Li De, Li Ji, and Li Daozong in the tent.

Li Ji said, "Senior Brother Yao, are you willing?"

Li Jing said helplessly, "What if you are unwilling, this is Your Majesty's will, and the old man can't disobey it."

Li Daozong said, "The art of war is cloudy, and the generals will not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs"

Li Jing flashed a bold thought: "What do you mean, let's come to the Ming Plank Road to secretly Chen Cang?" ”

Li Ji and Li Daozong nodded with a smile.

Li Jing was embarrassed and said, "This is a protest order,"

Li De knew that he could stand up at this time, and history also said that Li Jing finally resisted the order and raided Yinshan and captured Jieli alive. Looking at this situation, Li De guessed that Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had to agree to the request of the Turkic envoy against his will for the sake of the face of the Tang Dynasty, and sent Tang Jian to negotiate peace. It seems that Li Shimin hopes that these generals will resist the order.

Li De stood up and said, "Boss, don't worry, with a certain guess, the second brother's move is just for the face of the Tang Dynasty etiquette state, as well as to deal with those rotten Confucians in the court, you think about it Since the Weishui Alliance, the second brother doesn't want to destroy the Turks one day, capture Jieli alive, wash away the shame, how can it really negotiate peace, this is a smoke, just give us the opportunity to fight and settle the situation." ”

"Boss, don't you forget. Isn't there still me and the Taoist sect, with our two princes. When the time comes, you can just say that we are disobedient? Both of us are already unsealable, it doesn't matter if we have merit or not, if we don't seize such a good opportunity, God can't look past it. ”

Li Daozong also echoed, "The third brother is right, we are all kings, and we have reached the top, but our subordinates are looking forward to making contributions." We must not chill the hearts of the soldiers. With me and the third brother here, you will push the responsibility to us. ”

Li Jing slapped the table and stood up and said, "Since you all said so, the old man can't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." As long as the Turks can be destroyed, the old man's wish will be fulfilled, and the old man will not be an official, the old man has long wanted to go home and farm. It's time to spend your days at leisure. ”

"Okay, then we will prepare secretly, just wait for Tang Jian to enter the royal court, and we will launch a surprise attack."

Li Ji said at this time, "No, it's best to let the Turks know that the Tang envoy is coming, but you can't let Tang Jian go over, once we attack, Tang Jian's life will not be guaranteed." ”

Li Jing said: "For the sake of Datang." For the sake of the thousands of Han people who have been poisoned by the Turks, I believe that Tang Jian will understand our painstaking efforts. ”

Li Ji said, "Then you are evil to Tang Jian, if he doesn't die, I'm afraid"

Li Jing: "In order to defeat the Turks in victory, I want the life of the old man, and I admit it, what is it to offend people." ”

Li Deyi clapped his hands and said, "You two don't worry, I have a way to ensure that Lord Tang is worry-free." Don't worry, the chief manager hurry up and prepare, and I'll arrange it. ”

Li Jing immediately began to dispatch troops. Li De came out of the big tent and called Su Dingfang and asked him to select a few skilled and clever soldiers of the Back Wei Army, and he had an arrangement.

After a while, Su Dingfang came with four elite soldiers, and Li De looked up and down and was very satisfied. "This time there is a task for the four of you. Pay attention to this matter, you just know about it, you can't tell others, let alone tell Tang Jian to know. After the task is completed, the king will reward him heavily, do you understand?" After the explanation, he called them to Tang Jian's camp.

Tang Jian saw Li De come in and saluted, "Why is His Royal Highness King Wei here, the old minister is rude,"

Li De smiled and said, "Lord Tang is polite, I'm here this time." It is to equip Lord Tang with 4 guards. These 4 people are all the elite of my back army. I asked them to guard Lord Tang's side, the Turkic barbarians, Lord Tang should be careful, and let them protect your safety if something happens. ”

Tang Jian said movingly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." The old minister is also a timid and afraid of death, so he must obey their arrangement. ”

Li De saw that Tang Jian was very upright. I had a much better impression of him, and I said a few words that were not nutritious and left.

Now with the protection of the back army, even if you can't break out of the barracks, at least you can keep Tang Jian alive. also solved a cause and effect for Li Jing. happily went back to the camp of the Beiwei army, prepared well, and waited for the big battle to begin. This time, Li De wants to kill the Turks.
