The Khan returned to the camp of the Turkic army and brought his cronies and advisers to him, Kang Sumi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Great Khan! How did you talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Li Tang? The Khan replied to Kang Sumi:
"Stubborn and distracted, Kang Sumi, don't say that Li Jiancheng is His Royal Highness the Prince, he is now the new emperor of Li Tang!" Stubbornly unable to think about it, Kang Sumi saw that the Khan of Lili looked displeased. Immediately bowed his head, Obsessive Thinking and Kang Sumi had been following the Lingli Khan for some time, and had already figured out the temper of the Lingli Khan - if the Lingli Khan brought you, it would be something to tell you, but if you can't talk casually, then it will be a great disrespect to the Lingli Khan. The Khan looked at the stubbornness and the loss of thought, Kang Sumi.
"Obsessed with Sili, Kang Sumi, Li Jiancheng said to Ben Khan, I hope to marry with my Great Turks......" Obsessive Sili and Kang Sumi felt strange in their hearts, this marriage is a great thing - is it Li Jiancheng who wants to marry Li Tang's princess to our Khan, that's really good, when the time comes, we must let Li Jiancheng accompany more Central Plains women, Central Plains women are whiter and more delicate than those grassland women, women on the grassland often experience wind and sand, and their skin is as rough as the bark of withered grass, and the Central Plains has a humid climate, The women there are as tender as the newly-born lambs. The Khan was troubled, and accidentally saw the hue of the obsessive and lost thinking and Kang Sumi, and the Khan was angry in his heart - bastard, Lao Tzu is troubled here, but you have a lustful heart. When he was obsessed with thinking and Kang Sumi was obsessed, he suddenly felt an unkind gaze shining on him, and when he noticed that the Khan was looking at him, he immediately knew that he was a little carried away. and they all put on a pitiful face. The Khan sighed:
"Hey!" Obsessiveness heard the sigh of the Khan of Willi:
"Great Khan! Isn't it that Li Tang wants to marry the princess, that's ......"
"Li Jiancheng proposed, I hope that our Great Turk will marry a princess to Li Tang." Obsessed with Sili and Kang Sumi felt strange - the steppe from the ancestors of the Turks, the Huns, there was a tradition of marrying the princess of the royal court to other tribes, on the one hand, in this way, the leaders of other tribes had the blood of the Huns, and secondly, they also spied on intelligence through the matter of accompanying slaves, through this kind of thing, the Huns continued to grow, and now, the Turks are carrying forward this tradition. Obsessed with his mindlessness, Kang Sumi didn't know what the Khan was worried about? The Khan knew the mind of the obsessive and the unconscious.
"Stubbornness, Kang Sumi, you don't understand, Li Jiancheng is shrewd and has never been held hostage, even if a princess from Ben Khan's family passes, I'm afraid there will be no good results."
"Then there's only a fight." The Khan waved his hand and said:
"No, behind the strong walls of Chang'an City, plus Li Jiancheng has already ambushed the ambush soldiers and waited for us, no." Obsessed with his thinking power, Kang Sumi glanced at each other, and Kang Sumi said to Lili Khan in a soft voice:
"Your Majesty! Weichen has one thing I don't know whether to say or not? "The Khan looked at the Lost Mind and Kang Sumi:
"What, Obsessive Thinking, Kang Sumi, did you find anything in the camp?"
"Great Khan, recently, there was an incident in the military camp, the great patriarch of the Xi tribe has recently contacted a large number of Khitan, Ya, Teler, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xi and other tribes in the military camp. The minions are afraid, and as time goes by, I am afraid that there will be changes, and besides, the Khan has never entered the army, even the soldiers of our Turkic headquarters are also talking about it. "With the help of the opportunity of settling in Dingxiang, the Khan of the Turkic Khanate, with the strong force of the Turkic Khanate, incorporated all the strong men of the Khitan, Yao, Teler, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xi and other tribes in the southern area of the Mo Nan into the direct jurisdiction of the Turkic Khanate, however, the strong men of the Khitan, Ya, Teler, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xia and other tribes can not be forcibly separated from the feelings of their tribal patriarchs, and the Turkic Khan's court is serious, and the strong men of the Khitan, Ya, Teler, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xi and other tribes are all lowly slaves in the eyes of the Turks. It is inevitable to beat and scold on weekdays, and now in the war, many things that charge into battle are done by strong men and men from the Khitan, Yao, Teller, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Fei and other tribes, and the soldiers and horses of the Turkic headquarters supervise the battle in the back, and when the spoils are distributed, it is also the Turkic soldiers who take the lion's head, and these strong men from the Khitan, Yao, Teler, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xia and other tribes eat some leftovers. Naturally, there was some dissatisfaction in secret.
"Humph! What a bunch of wolves that can't be raised! "If the Turks had not been divided, or even had so many internal strife, the Eastern Turkic Khans would not have co-opted and appeased the southern tribes of the desert many times, that is, when the Lingli Khan wanted to compete with the little Turkic Khan, it was also secretly in contact with the tribes of the Khitan, the Jian, the Teler, the Xue Yantuo, the Xi, and the Xia, so that the Khitan, the Ya, the Teler, the Xue Yantuo, the Xi, the Xia and other southern tribes of the desert continued to grow, and later the Lingli Khan brought the main force of the Eastern Turkic headquarters to Dingxiang and deployed them in the area of the southern part of the Mo to coerce the Khitan, the Yan Ya, and the Teller, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xia and other tribes incorporated the strong men and men in the tribe into their own soldiers and horses, and used the invasion and robbery to the south of the Central Plains as a temptation for fame and fortune, so that the contradiction was temporarily alleviated, but the Khan knew in his heart that this was just an undercurrent under the cold ice, and it was not completely resolved.
"Alright! Li Jiancheng agreed with Ben Khan that he would meet Weishui three days later. Well! All right! Stubbornly losing Sili and Kang Sumi, you sent an order to the whole army on behalf of Ben Khan, and all of them were left to camp in the north of Weishui. "Lost in his thoughts, Kang Sumi saluted to the Khan of Zunli:
"Yes! Sweat! ”
Three days later, Li Jiancheng took Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and other five people, as well as hundreds of carriages, to the south of Weishui.
"Hahaha! Li Jiancheng, the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, came to meet with the Turkic Lingli Khan according to the agreement, and asked the Lingli Khan to come forward to meet him. ”
"Ahh Li Jiancheng, you are here. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have come here according to the agreement, and you have come to fulfill the contract with the Khan of Jieli, and, in order to show your sincerity, you have brought 10,000 stones of grain, 100,000 catties of salt, and 1,000 horses of cloth. As a meeting gift, in addition, as long as the khan is willing to marry the princess, there will be a heavy gift below. Li Jiancheng was afraid that the Lingli Khan was playing something, so he specially allocated 10,000 stones of grain, 100,000 catties of salt, and 1,000 horses of cloth, and also said it loudly, just to prevent the Lili Khan from repenting. It is also good that the great patriarch of the Xi tribe can benefit from it. Lili Khan has also been fighting for a long time in his heart - on the opposite side is Li Jiancheng, I have nearly 200,000 troops here, and now rush over, if you can hold this person, then the entire Chang'an City will be under your feet. Lingli Khan always wanted to wave his hand and rush towards the other side, but seeing Li Jiancheng's calm expression, Lingli Khan was worried about what arrangements Li Jiancheng would make on the other side, so he hesitated.
"Your Majesty Lili Khan, you heard that there were some changes in the next family, and immediately led the army to visit, and you are very happy to be in Xia, and you can also form a marriage with Lingli Khan, so I brought such a little thing first, and when His Majesty's princess arrives in Chang'an in the future, I will definitely prepare a generous gift again, dozens of times higher than these things, in order to thank the Khan for his kindness!" Hearing that there were so many supplies, the soldiers behind the Lingli Khan cheered loudly, to tell the truth - the Turkic army came out to rob, just to raise more materials, so that they could go back to live, when they robbed Huayin, the Lingli Khan only robbed hundreds of pieces of cloth, as well as more than 10,000 catties of official salt, and then thousands of taels of gold and silver, now without robbing, you can raise so many materials, and as long as you marry a princess again, you can get dozens of times the materials, how can you not be happy in your heart? Besides, a woman is just a talking object on the prairie, and it is only natural to exchange it for property. The Khan was hesitating, and the great patriarch of the Xi tribe immediately glanced at Xi Maha Tulou behind him, Xi Maha Tulou nodded, and then glanced at the back. Immediately, there was a burst of chatter among the Turkic army:
"Great Khan, why don't you say yes!?"
"Yes! Sweat! It's just the loss of a daughter, why don't you agree! So many things, Great Khan, hurry up and agree! "The Turkic army is different from the Central Plains Dynasty, relative to the military discipline, looser, when fighting, it all depends on a momentum and courage, now there is no war to fight, and the natural temperament is a little loose. The loss of thought beside the Khan, Kang Sumi, while desperately pressing the formation, quietly said to the Khan:
"Great Khan! Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, it is better to promise Li Jiancheng first, get these materials in your hands, and then say, when the time comes, marry a daughter again, and by planting spies among the slaves, and then let our Turkic princess give birth to a son for Li Jiancheng, and then we can use that son to participate in Li Tang's internal affairs, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will be our Turks. "The Khan said in his heart—'Maybe!'
Li Jiancheng and Jieli Khan came to the Weishui Bridge on the outskirts of Chang'an City, signed a peace agreement, Lili Khan ordered, from his own army to pull out a pure white, without a single hairy foal, Lili Khan pulled out the saber, stabbed into the foal's throat, a Turkic soldier took out a large wooden basin, under the foal's throat, when the blood was full, Lingli Khan took the wooden basin, first took a sip, and then handed it to Li Jiancheng.
"Li Jiancheng, I swear to the heavens with the noblest ceremonies and etiquette of the Great Turks, and I, Ashina, swear here, to form a marriage with Li Jiancheng, marry the woman of my Ashina clan to Li Jiancheng, and immediately withdraw from the army and return to the grassland! Grant an oath! After speaking, he waited for Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng also learned from the appearance of Lili Khan, swore to heaven, and also drank a sip of horse blood:
"I, Li Jiancheng, am willing to marry the Lili Khan, and I hereby swear!" After the two sides concluded an alliance, Jieli Khan returned with all the Turkic cavalry. Li Jiancheng ordered that the Tang army should not be intercepted along the way, and should be closely monitored!
