Chapter 492: Confrontation with the Turks (4)

The patriarch of the Xi tribe quietly stood up from the carpet and paced back and forth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Maha Tulou, you say, are we now on the side of the Lili Khan or on the side of the Lili Khan?"

"Father, the child has been in the Central Plains during this time, have you not seen the vastness and prosperity of the Central Plains, as well as the luxury and wealth of the palace, do you know? The tent we live in is not as good as the house of a rich man in Chang'an. Father, the grassland and the Central Plains have been fighting for a long time, if the Lili Khan wins, I am afraid that we will become lowly slaves, and if we secretly submit to Li Tang, when the time comes, Li Tang will allow us to hold a high position in order to manage the grassland, father, do you know? The emperor personally said to the child, as long as we achieve this matter and promote peace, when the time comes, the child and I will be the Shunyi candidate of the Tang Dynasty. Father, also, over the years, the Turkic Lingli Khan has repeatedly conspired against Li Tang, but they have all been resolved by Li Jiancheng one by one, do you think the Lingli Khan fought them? The patriarch of the tribe was silent, and Mahatulou kept urging beside him:

"Father, make up your mind early! This glory and wealth is just around the corner! The great patriarch of the Xi tribe looked at Maha Tulou:

"Maha Tulou, it's getting late, let's go down and rest for the time being! Other things are arranged for the Father's Father. After Maha Tulou left, the chief of the tribe said to the fire:

"There are things that can't be rushed, wait, wait......"

At dawn, the Khan led his subordinate Turkic army to see the banner exhibition, and came to the front of the Baqiao all the way, only to see Li Jiancheng standing alone behind the Baqiao, shouting:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's been a long time."

"Hahahaha! Hello, Your Majesty! Don't come unharmed! How? We haven't seen each other for so long, and you're bringing so many soldiers and horses with you now, are you here to catch up on the old days!? ”

"Yes! I haven't seen your father and son in the grassland for a long time, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qi were suffering, so Ben Khan led his army to come to the rescue. But now I'm so happy to see that the prince is safe! Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Thanks to His Majesty the Khan, it's just a petty fight between our brothers. Now that I have been succeeded by my father, and I am about to ascend the throne, His Majesty the Khan values me so much, it is better to come here first and catch up with me. How is it? Li Jiancheng's words were reasonable, and he immediately got off the horse and ordered someone to bring a short table, two small chairs, and water, wine and snacks on the short table. Li Jiancheng waved off the waiting people and shouted to the Khan:

"Your Majesty Khan, I have been working hard all the way, I think that His Majesty Khan is also very hard, why don't you come here, let's have a drink together to relieve fatigue." Li Jiancheng's words and actions were bold and knowledgeable, and Lili Khan was riding on a horse, and there were bursts of impulse in his heart, but Li Jiancheng was on the other side! If Li Jiancheng was arrested in the past, it would be an extra layer of bargaining chips for Li Tang, and Lili Khan looked at the surrounding environment carefully. The terrain in front of the Baqiao was open and suitable for cavalry combat, but the place where Li Jiancheng stayed was narrow, which was not conducive to the cavalry's large-scale movements, and the Lili Khan did not believe that Li Jiancheng would not arrange an ambush in that place. Lili Khan wanted to wave to the cavalry behind him, and ordered to go to capture Li Jiancheng, and he was rewarded for catching him, but if there was an ambush, could this battle be won? Li Jiancheng seemed to know what was in his mind, and immediately continued to shout to the Khan:

"Does the Great Khan have any scruples? Are you afraid that there will be an ambush here? Rest assured, it's just a reminiscence, not an ambush, rest assured! The Khan was in a dilemma, and the chief of the tribe saw the doubts in the Khan's heart, and sneered beside him:

"Great Khan, Li Tang's crown prince Li Jiancheng is calling you!? If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll lose the prestige of our Great Turks. Why can't you go over!? "The Great Turks are in the steppe, and the environment on the steppe is very harsh, in order to survive, the steppe people often slenderen their pastures, in order to compete for a good grassland and water source, often have a fight, creating the steppe people only obey the strong character, so the words of the great tribal patriarch are not inappropriate for everyone present. Don't say that the clansmen of the tribes such as Xue Yantuo, Tiele, Khitan, Yao, and Fei looked at the Lingli Khan with the wrong eyes, that is, the people of the Turkic headquarters looked at the Lingli Khan with bad eyes. The cronies and advisers around the Khan of Lingli lost their thinking power, and Kang Sumi whispered to the Khan:

"Great Khan, you can't help but go! Look behind you, there's nothing wrong with that. Don't say that the tribes of Xue Yantuo, Tiele, Khitan, Yao, Xia and other tribes, that is, the people and horses of our Turkic headquarters, look at the Great Khan's eyes are not good, Great Khan, you must go! The Khan thought for a moment, and said to his cronies and advisers, Kang Sumi:

"Good! Ben Khan will go right away, you guys are here to press the formation, ready to support Ben Khan at any time! After saying that, the Khan immediately rode his horse and rode towards Li Jiancheng of Baqiao. When the Lili Khan came to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng waved to the Lili Khan:

"Khan please!" Li Jiancheng said as he poured a glass of wine for the Khan. The Khan sat opposite Li Jiancheng:

"The world is really unpredictable, originally Ben Khan heard that you Li Jiancheng is still His Royal Highness the Prince, and later, I heard that several of His Royal Highness's younger brothers rebelled and seized the heir, and I was afraid that His Highness would not be able to deal with it, so he specially brought troops here to help His Highness quell the chaos, and now, I can't imagine that His Highness has quelled the rebellion and is about to ascend the throne as the emperor. What a joy! ”

"Ahh Khan is gracious, hey! It stands to reason that there are not brothers competing for family property in every family, not to mention our Li Tang, that is, the Great Khan, didn't it also go through several battles before it reached the Khan? "Lingli Khan knew that Li Jiancheng was referring to several mutinies in the Turkic royal court, and every time the Khan ascended the throne, there would be a lot of turmoil. There was a sense of anger in his heart, his hand was on the handle of the saber, and he was about to pull out the saber and cut it at Li Jiancheng, at this time, a bright light flashed, stabbing the eyes of the Khan, and the Khan carefully observed the surroundings, although the surroundings were very calm, but the atmosphere around him seemed to be very solemn, and not far away, there was a trace of flash - it was a helmet. 'Yes! Li Jiancheng, you really ambushed your friend, and you wanted to detain Ben Khan under the pretext of an excuse, and then negotiate conditions with Ben Khan, you are really vicious. ’

"Khan, why be so nervous? Sit down. The hand of the Khan did not leave the saber, and he still looked at Li Jiancheng very vigilantly. Li Jiancheng smiled and said to Lili Khan:

"Great Khan! Don't be afraid, I know that the Great Khan is afraid that there are ambushes here, but you don't want to think about it, the Great Khan is right in front of you, if there is something unfavorable to the Great Khan below, the Great Khan can immediately let the blood splash on the spot. Tell the truth to the Great Khan, he will soon ascend the throne as emperor, if he dies in the hands of the Great Khan, then the richest man in the world is in front of him, thinking about it, even if it is the Great Khan, I am afraid that I will not be willing in my heart!? Originally, the Khan didn't attach much importance to life and death, but since the Khan tasted the benefits of ravaging young girls, the Khan slowly tasted the taste that he had never tasted before, and the Khan also had some nostalgia for the world. Thinking of this, the Khan sat down:

"Your Majesty, Ben Khan is not welcome." As he spoke, he grabbed the flask and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Ahh Wine! Li Jiancheng also removed his hand from his boot - Li Jiancheng actually thought to himself that if he could capture this Turkic barbarian in one go, this would be a good opportunity. However, Li Jiancheng also knows very well that now the forces in Chang'an and Guanzhong are very empty and scattered, and after experiencing the chaos of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, they are even more like a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is still very weak.

"Great Khan, what a hero! You can see it from the way you drink! ”

"Where, where!? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, in fact, Ben Khan knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now about to ascend the throne as the emperor, and it just so happens that the time to pay tribute to our Turks every year has also arrived. Li Jiancheng roared in his heart - this Turkic barbarian, he only said a few kind words, why is he about to bring supplies. Li Jiancheng desperately suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. In order to prevent the Khan from seeing his displeasure, he immediately picked up the flask, and while filling his glass, he thought about his own countermeasures:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why haven't you replied? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with my Great Turk or that you Li Tang are now empty in the treasury and can't get this material? But it doesn't matter, if you Li Tang can't take it out, it doesn't matter, Ben Khan's soldiers and horses are here, and when the time comes, they can take their own sabers to get them. It's a pity, Chang'an, such a good city, it's a pity! Li Jiancheng continued to pour wine in a wine jug to cover up:

"Where, where!? I'm just thinking about it, how can these two joys become three joys? After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Lili Khan immediately became interested:

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saying that he wants to marry Li Tang's princess to Ben Khan? Yes, yes! Li Tang and my Great Turkic marriage, don't you Central Plains have a saying called Qin Jin Zhi is good, good, very good, it's best to marry a few more young maids, you know, you Central Plains women are very smart! Li Jiancheng replied with a smile to the Khan:

"The Great Khan is wrong, it's not that our Datang wants to marry a princess to the Great Khan, it's that the Great Khan marries a princess to come to my Datang as a concubine. I don't know what happened to the Great Khan? ”
