The cold wind was raging and the snow was falling.

On the bank of the vast Wei Bridge, Li Shimin and Jieli confronted each other two hundred meters apart.

In the face of Li Shimin's scolding, Jieli wanted to harden up, but his family knew his own affairs, and now the people he could use could say that there was nothing at all, because he still had to control the Tuli Department, once he let go, he was not sure if Ashdewu would turn his face directly with him if he didn't sip.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he really didn't have the ability to fight Li Shimin now, even if there were only 30,000 people behind Li Shimin.

"What should I do?" A layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on Jieli's forehead.

Li Shimin looked at Jieli, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer, and slowly raised his hand.

As Datang's former 'ally', Jieli was too familiar with Li Shimin's gesture, so when Li Shimin just raised his hand, he said directly: "Stop, this time we did something wrong, I can compensate Datang, I just ask you to let us go back now." ”

Li Shimin's heart moved, and he was ready to agree.

There is no way, the current Datang is too poor, not to mention that the Taiji Palace where he lives has long been dilapidated, and even the usage in the harem has been reduced again and again, not to mention other places.

If a layer of skin can be peeled off the Turks, although it cannot save the reality of Datang's poverty, it is enough for Datang to win three or five years of development time.

At that time, Li Shimin was confident that he would kill the Turks in a dignified manner.

At this moment, Li Kong suddenly rushed to Li Shimin's side and said to Jieli: "Compensate Datang?" What can you compensate for? Pigs, horses, cattle and sheep? ”

Jieli's expression was shocked, but Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, although the Turks were powerful, they had no money, and they had never been in the habit of using money.

And the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep they compensated, except for the cattle that are used a little, the rest are disposable things, and if they are divided equally, the people of Datang will not be able to divide half of them, so they are completely chicken ribs.

As for the rest? It's a pity that they don't like it at all.

Therefore, the compensation that Jieli said is not worth mentioning at all, and compared with those compensations, the destruction of the Turks is the most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Shimin is also a little worried, because even if they keep Jieli here, or even leave the 200,000 troops behind, the grassland is still the world of the Turks, after all, there are still millions of Turkic people on the grassland, except for the old and young, women and children, it is completely possible to put together 300,000 people who control the strings.

The most important thing is that if they really destroy the Turks here, those Western Turks are likely to take advantage of the situation to rise and sweep the entire steppe, if the Western Turks take over the entire Turkic power, they will lose more than they lose in this battle, the key is that the Tang Dynasty is not yet capable of destroying the Western Turks.

Li Shimin was a little entangled.

And Li Shimin's expression fell into Li Kong's eyes, Li Kong instantly understood Li Shimin's thoughts, for him who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed more cost-effective to let Jieli go at this time than to kill him, but before that, he must scrape off Jieli and Turkic flesh fiercely.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have the courage to ask Your Majesty for the right to negotiate this time!"

Li Shimin was hesitating, and when he suddenly heard Li Kong's words, he understood what Li Kong meant, nodded with a smile, and said, "Go, give you time to stick incense." ”

This is a bit of a joke, after all, the two countries are at war, let alone a stick of incense, even three or five days may not be able to negotiate.

To Li Shimin's surprise, Li Kong actually agreed......

Jieli was originally worried that Li Shimin would not miss this opportunity to destroy him, but when he saw Li Kong who came out alone, he knew that Li Shimin was ready to negotiate with him, and at the same time he was relieved, but also a little annoyed, he was the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin actually sent a yellow-mouthed boy to negotiate with him, is this looking down on him?

But now that the situation is stronger than people, even if Jieli is no longer satisfied, he has to talk about it head-on.

Li Kong reined in and stopped less than thirty meters away from Jieli, with a cold smile on his face, and said: "Jieli Khan, since we have to negotiate, my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not the kind of person who rushes to kill everything, so he gives you this opportunity, but you must compensate according to our requirements, remember, this is your only chance, otherwise, we might as well have a good fight in this world." ”

"Shit!" Jieli scolded angrily in his heart, but squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, and said, "Okay, tell your conditions." ”

Li Kong chuckled: "As the defeated party, you must compensate 100,000 Turkic women to my Datang, and the age cannot exceed twenty-five years old and cannot be less than eighteen years old. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jieli and the people on the Tang side were stunned, they thought that Li Kong would put forward any conditions, but they didn't expect it to be just a woman.

Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning, he looked Li Kong up and down, and said secretly: Is this rabbit cub a playboy?

Jieli pondered for a moment, then glanced at Ashdewu who was imprisoned behind him, and nodded, It's a big deal to pick a woman from Tuli's good nephew's tribe and give it to Datang.

Li Kong raised his voice and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then the second condition, as the defeated party, you must compensate me Datang for 100,000 men, who cannot be less than twenty years old and cannot be older than thirty years old." ”

Jieli nodded again, and was worried that there was no way to solve the problem of Ashdewu not sipping this group of people, so he simply threw all his brains here to Datang for a headache.

"In the end, when we let you go, you must take all the Hu people in the Hetao area away, and then let go of Yanmen Pass." Li Kong said the last condition heavily.

If there is no contradiction with Tuli, then it is not a problem to solve the Hu people on the Hetao Plain, but now...... Even if he handed over all the people of Ashdewu to the Tang Dynasty, there would only be fifty or sixty thousand people under his control, but there were no less than 100,000 Hu people in the entire Hetao Plain.

In the end, giving up the Yanmen Pass was the only way for the Turks to go south in the future, and this condition can be said to have directly defeated all the pride of Jieli.

Promise? Or refusal?

Looking at Li Kong's cold eyes, Jieli thought about it for less than a cup of tea, and decided to come down, this time he lost a lot of people, if he could take all those Hu people away, he could add a lot of strength to the Turks.

As for giving up the Yanmen Pass? When the Turks recover in the future, they can recapture it at any time.

"Okay, since Jieli Khan agrees, then we will high-five and swear!" After Li Kong finished speaking, he gave up his position, and the task of high-five had to fall on Li Shimin.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Li Shimin didn't think that Li Kong would harm Datang, so when he passed by Li Kong's side, he just scolded in a low voice, "If you kid doesn't give me a reasonable explanation after a while, see how I clean you up", and then came to Jieli's face, and the two high-fived three times in a row, which was considered to have reached this covenant.

Later history records that this covenant is called the "Weishui Alliance"!
