Chapter 491: Confrontation with the Turks (3)

At the banquet, Wei Zheng advised Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, judging from Your Majesty's battle situation, this victory is only a small victory, and the Turkic army has not dispatched the main force, if the main force is dispatched, I am afraid that Your Majesty will really have no return! When Wei Chen thought of this, he was always scared into a cold sweat in his heart! After the people present heard Wei Zheng's words, everyone's reaction was different, Xu Jingzong squinted at Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche were eating with their heads down with embarrassed faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Jiancheng knows Wei Zheng's thoughts - Wei Zheng has positioned his future as a generation of ministers. However, it is good to have such a person at any time, and I have heard a lot of good words, and sometimes it is good to drink some 'medicine'. Besides, once he officially ascends the throne, then the phase of the imperial court will definitely be adjusted. Li Jiancheng's talented candidates for prime minister are Di Zhixun, Wang Gui, Xu Jingzong and Wei Zheng, and the qualified ones are Li Gang and Yu Zhining, but Xu Jingzong is a little insidious, and sometimes he is too smart, he likes to figure out his own intentions, and occasionally likes to make his own decisions. is a bit of a middle-of-the-road minister, and when the time comes, I am afraid that only Wei Zheng will be able to contain Xu Jingzong. Therefore, Li Jiancheng did not care about Wei Zheng, on the contrary, he often encouraged Wei Zheng.

"Xuan Chengqing! You are right, this victory is indeed a bit tricky, but the most important thing is that I and the four generals Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche fought together for the first time. An embarrassment was eliminated by Li Jiancheng in this way. After the banquet, Li Jiancheng left Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, Di Zhixun, Di Renjie and other four people alone:

"Four, Chang'an is still calm now!?"

"Your Majesty! Originally, when Chang'an heard that the Turkic army invaded the territory, many people were afraid, and many people wanted to move their families out, but because the entire Chang'an City was on guard, the four gates were closed, and the guards did not get His Majesty's order to open the city gate, so many people slept on the streets, waiting for the city gate to open, and left at any time, and later heard that His Majesty led dozens of personal soldiers and guards and Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, Xue Wanche The four generals defeated the Turkic vanguard troops, all rejoiced, most of the people went home, and some people said Qin Shubao, The four generals Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche were heavenly generals, and some people also posted portraits of Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche at the door of their homes, praying for the safety of their homes. All this is the credit of His Majesty! When Li Jiancheng heard this, some people also posted portraits of four generals, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche, praying for the safety of their homes. Isn't this the door god of the Hereafter? However, the original door gods were only Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao, but now they have also joined Hou Junji and Xue Wanche. I didn't expect that I would cross over, and there were two more door gods, Xue Wanche and Hou Junji. Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng:

"Xuancheng! Now you know why I put on a small banquet to celebrate the four generals Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche! Wei Zheng immediately saluted Li Jiancheng and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a wide range of mirrors, and the ministers are sparse and shallow, so don't worry about your Majesty." Li Jiancheng's performance towards Wei Zheng was very barbaric - as an emperor, he couldn't completely let his courtiers sway, some courtiers just liked to contradict the emperor and were proud of confronting the emperor, especially the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who wished that the emperor would give them the punishment of the court staff, because once they were given the punishment of the court staff, then they would become famous ministers and officials among the people, and their reputation and popularity would be there. In the end, the entire Ming Dynasty was played by those so-called direct ministers and ministers. But it can't be completely unopposed to the emperor, so there is a degree among the emperor and the ministers, as long as this degree can be grasped, then the so-called prosperous dynasty is not far away.

"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen, I left a letter on the backs of Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi's brothers, asking him to meet him at Baqiao. However, I mean to ambush on both sides of the Baqiao, and I am waiting alone in front of the Baqiao, what do you think? As soon as he heard that Li Jiancheng was going to wait alone at Baqiao, Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, Di Zhixun, Di Renjie and other four people immediately persuaded Li Jiancheng again:

"Your Majesty, don't get into danger again!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, last time, you still had dozens of personal guards and four generals, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche, to escort you, but this time you must not get into danger again! Li Jiancheng smiled.

"The four Aiqing are extremely worried, but I am not a rash move, you think about it, our defenders in the Chang'an area are less than 40,000, and the reinforcements from Luoyang and Tongguan cannot arrive for a while, and even if they do, they are mostly infantry. Therefore, I can only outwit, first of all, I stand in front of the bridge, and not in front of the Khan, the Khan will definitely suspect that I have an ambush, and you let the soldiers in ambush stay at the ambush point, it is best to deliberately expose the helmet, so that the Khan will not dare to act rashly, and when the time comes, it is just right to talk to the Khan about the conditions. Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, Di Zhixun, Di Renjie and the other four people all nodded after listening to Li Jiancheng's explanation. At this time, Di Renjie asked Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, I just don't know if the Khan will agree to His Majesty's conditions." Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Hahahaha! O Huaiying! Don't worry! Since I got the news of the Khan, I have already used a secret chess, plus I have sent someone to check the treasury, there are more than 50,000 horses of cloth, more than 1,000 horses of silk brocade, more than 100,000 catties of salt, in addition, the Chang'an garrison camp has more than 30,000 stone of grain after deducting this year's military rations, and when the time comes, the Khan will definitely agree to my conditions. Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, Di Zhixun, Di Renjie and the other four knew that Li Jiancheng had a backhand, so they didn't ask anything anymore. At night, the camp of the great patriarch of the Xi tribe in the Turkic camp, the chief of the Xi tribe was thinking hard in his tent. Due to the coercive measures taken by the Lingli Khan, most of the young and strong men in the tribe were included in the army through this southern expedition, but the discerning people can see that once these people stay under the hands of the Lingli Khan for a long time, I am afraid that these people will become the loyal tribe of the Lingli Khan at that time, and once he loses the strong men in these tribes, the great patriarch of the Xi tribe knows in his heart what will wait for him at that time? What the hell should I do? At this time, a slight voice from the chief of the Xi tribe's cronies and guards sounded outside the tent:

"Great Patriarch, Great Patriarch!"

"Hmmm! Who? The Great Patriarch of the Xi Tribe asked in a low voice:

"The Great Patriarch, it's a minion, the Great Patriarch, the Khan of Lingli sent someone to ask for a meeting! May I ask the Great Patriarch, to see or not to see? "When the great patriarch of the Xi tribe heard that the Khan of Lingli had sent someone, he immediately got up:

"Hurry up and bring in the envoy of the Khan of Lingli." The chief of the guard walked in with a man dressed in the garb of a Turkic soldier.

"May I ask the messenger, does the khan have any orders?" The man raised his head, and the great patriarch of the Xi tribe immediately became happy when he saw the person's face:

"It's you!" The patriarch of the Xi tribe immediately said to the chief of the guard:

"Hmmm! You go out first and don't let anyone come in and disturb you. After the chief of the guard went out, the chief of the Xi tribe took the man's hand and pulled the man down to his side and said:

"Maha Tulou, you're finally back. What did Li Tang's crown prince Li Jiancheng say, is there any letter? "The person who came is the son of the chief of the Xi tribe, Maha Tulou, since Maha Tulou left the Xi tribe, the patriarch of the Xi tribe has been waiting for the news of Maha Tulou, and now, Maha Tulou is back, and the heart of the patriarch of the Xi tribe has slowly calmed down. Ma Ha Tulou quietly told the patriarch of the Xi tribe about the things around Li Jiancheng these days. From the assassination of Li Jiancheng, Maha Tulou sacrificed himself to save him, and then was taken back to Chang'an by Li Jiancheng to be secretly settled, and then throughout Chang'an, King Qin launched the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were rumored to be killed, and then Li Jiancheng sent someone to take Maha Tulou into the palace and teach him face-to-face.

"Maha Tulou, this time I sent you back to your father, you must let your father secretly contact the tribes of Xue Yantuo, Tiele, Khitan, Yao, and Xia, so that they can exert influence on their original old department, just say that I want to make peace with the Khan of Lingli, let the Khan stop the army, remember, we must promote this matter!" Maha Tulou nodded yes.

"Yes, Your Majesty! However, Weichen has another worry, that is, the position of the khan on the grassland is not stable, and he must rely on robbery and plunder to ensure the stability of his khan. If it weren't for the defeat, I'm afraid the Khan wouldn't have stopped there! ”

"This is easy to do, I will first attack the vanguard of the Turks, and first hurt the Lingli Khan, and then Lingzun will be able to secretly use things, in addition, I will officially ascend the throne soon, and when the time comes, I will choose a show girl to enter the palace in the world, and you will tell the patriarch of the Lingzunxi tribe to let the Lingli Khan make peace with me, and marry a Turkic princess again, and then our two families will marry." In this way, the Khan can also step down, and your Xi tribe can also make great contributions to it. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty rest assured, Wechen will definitely do this. Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Maha Tulou, once you do this, I will make you my Tang Shunyi, hereditary replacement." Mahatulou stayed in the Central Plains for a while and knew that the marquis was also a high-ranking official. Buckle your head now!
