Early in the morning, the fog was filled, whether it was the mountains in the distance or the fields in front of them, all seemed to be real and illusory, shrouded in the ethereal illusion of truth and falsehood. Shibi Khan waited for almost a whole night, and he couldn't stay up in the end, and he was sleeping sweetly at that time, but a horse hurriedly came to report: a large group of people and horses appeared faintly in the fog behind the city, because the fog was too thick, it was impossible to see the truth, and it was difficult to understand what the other party's true intentions were.

Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of taking advantage of foggy days to surprise the enemy army and achieve unprecedented victories, which is the most vigilant thing. Shibi Khan learned that Li Yuan's army was dispatched in the fog, and he didn't need to think much about it, and he expected that the other party was planning a sneak attack, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked: Li Yuan's kid is really calculating, Lao Tzu planned painstakingly, and waited for you all night in vain, you slept peacefully, and now Lao Tzu is sleepy and tired, but he is trying to pick up ready-made! Hmph, I want to see whose strength is excellent! Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered the horse to return quickly, and be sure to find out the true intentions of the enemy and report it in time. At the same time, he quickly issued an order, strictly admonishing all men and horses to pay close attention to the movements of Li Yuan's army and make real preparations for battle.

After a while, Tanma came again to report that Li Yuan's army did not seem to have the intention of attacking our army, but quietly entered the city. Shibi Khan became more and more confused: Which one is Li Yuan's old thing singing? The whereabouts are so secretive, so hard to guess!

In order to accurately grasp the enemy's situation, he decided to no longer speculate out of thin air, but resolutely stepped on his war horse and personally went out of the camp, ordering Liversh to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to protect the front and rear, and poured out of the camp, marching all the way for more than ten miles. Fearing an ambush in the fog, he didn't dare to go any further, hesitated for a moment, galloped up a hill nearby, and then immediately looked ahead at the top of the mountain.

On the city of Bingzhou, the clouds cover the fog barrier everywhere, the flags and swords and halberds are faintly floating in the fog, the four doors are still open, and the silence is still the same, compared with yesterday, it is more and more mysterious and elusive. Shibi Khan scratched his ears and cheeks, thought about it repeatedly, his heart was violently excited, and he couldn't help sneering a few times in succession, and said happily:

"Yesterday, fortunately, I didn't attack the city rashly, otherwise, I just fell for Li Yuan's trick!"

He stood on the side, and when he saw his father laughing, he felt inexplicable, and he couldn't help but ask for advice.

"Li Yuan is scheming, and he ambushed a large number of men and horses around the city, waiting for our army to attack the city with all his might, and then he was caught by surprise inside and outside, if he attacked rashly, he didn't just fall for his trick!" Shibi Khan sighed faintly, and ordered all the armies to stand in place, not to march rashly, and those who violated the order were killed!

After that, for many days in a row, new information came from Tanma every day, and a large number of soldiers and horses entered the city every day at dawn, at least 10,000 each time, and most of them were cavalry. Shibi Khan was more and more stunned, before sending troops to annex the state, he did not send a small number of people to pretend to be Han people to investigate, Li Yuan's soldiers and horses, including the recent recruitment of more than 30,000 people, the total strength of less than 60,000, of which the cavalry definitely did not exceed 10,000. Now, the other party only enters the city every morning with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them are cavalry! Where did all those soldiers and horses come from? Could it be the rescue troops from all over the country?

…… Help? Yes, it must be a rescuer! The Sui court's country is so wide, and the state is a barrier, once Li Yuan is in a hurry, no matter how much Yang Guang is a bastard, ignoring the world's major affairs, as long as he knows that the state is in an emergency, can he jump up and down in a hurry, and do everything possible to encourage him to send troops to rescue? If this is true, it is difficult to estimate how many men and horses of the Sui army will come when they hear the news! Perhaps, the balance of strength between the two sides has already been reversed! Once this battle starts, it is really unpredictable how many chances there will be! If it drags on any longer, the Sui army will continue to increase its troops, won't it become more and more difficult to deal with? What else can I gain but to be besieged in turn, or even annihilated?

Oh, that's no joke! Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Sui army has not had time to form a four-sided encirclement against me, come and sneak away, move the army to other directions, and look for new harassment targets! The idea was set, and as soon as the night came, Shibi Khan decisively issued an order, each battalion made four watches, the whole army was fully equipped, and the whole line was withdrawn at dawn.

Knowing that all the 120,000 Turkic troops had retreated, Li Yuan's father and son, Liu Wenjing and others all laughed. Originally, the so-called Tianming a large number of soldiers and horses into the city, in fact, only Xiahou Duan and Sima Shixu led the cavalry team, every night in the dead of night, people with a piece, horses pick bells, small shares of multiple roads scattered from behind the city from behind the city, at dawn, and then assemble into an army, into the city with great fanfare, every day repeated back and forth, to create a false appearance, in order to confuse Shibi Khan, so that he can not judge how many soldiers and horses came to the city of Bingzhou, and had to retreat without a fight because of doubt and fear.

"Everything turned out to be as Zhaoyun had predicted!" After laughing, Li Yuan turned his head and said to Liu Wenjing with interest, "Shibi Khan is really good, compared with your own son, I'm afraid it is even better!" ”

"Such a filial son is really rare in the world!" Li Shimin also quipped, "Lord Liu, you can raise a few more!" ”

"Don't miss the time!" Liu Wenjing surprisingly didn't laugh, "The iron has to be struck while it's hot, the Turkic army has retreated, and it is imperative that the Duke of Tang should let people go there as soon as possible with generous gifts to show favor to Shibi Khan, so that he can truly feel the sincerity of our side, so as to prompt him not to come to harass him in the future!" ”

"Makes sense! This matter is very important, and ordinary people may not be competent, so please Zhaoyun work hard and go for a trip to ensure that nothing goes wrong! Li Yuan thought about it for a while, expressed his deep agreement, and immediately ordered the left and right to send pen and paper as soon as possible, and personally wrote a letter, ordering Liu Wenjing to be the plenipotentiary representative, escorting a large number of Jinbao cloth and silk envoys to the Turks, and negotiating with Shibi Khan face-to-face, striving for an alliance between the two sides forever and non-aggression against each other.

Shibi Khan originally had no ambitions, but at the same time, he was deeply aware that the population of the interior was too large, and even if he successfully conquered many territories in Middle-earth, it would not be easy to rule and manage so many people, so he never had such extravagant hopes. In the past, he often sent troops to harass the border, and his intention was nothing more than to plunder gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass, cloth and other things on a large scale, greedy for immediate interests, and then he was complacent, and returned with a full load. He has fought against Li Yuan twice, and he knows that it is not easy to deal with him. However, at this time, he no longer had any hope for the state, but the other party took the initiative to send a large number of gifts to the door to sue for peace, which is really a pie-in-the-sky thing. While he was happy, he was inevitably confused: Li Yuan, which nerve went wrong? Could it be that there is some kind of intrigue hidden in it?

"Khan Mingjian," Liu Wenjing watched the fire as if he were skeptical about Shibi Khan's state of mind at the moment, "The imperial court has gathered 500,000 troops this time, and is determined to compete with your army and break the net!" Tang Guogong Quan respected the Khan as a rare hero, and had the heart to make friends, and would rather resist and disobey the order than do things to the end, so he always stood still. ”

"Lord Liu is exaggerating!" Shibi Khan still didn't dare to conclude what Li Yuan's intentions were, and deliberately showed a cold expression, "Tang Guogong has no relatives and no reason for this Khan, where did he get such a good heart?" ”

"The Khan is really heroic! The reason why Tang Guogong made this choice is, of course, there is hope! Liu Wenjing replied in a very frank tone, "I can't hide it, when there is no way today, Tang Guogong has already had the intention to replace him!" Because the Khan and the Sui court have always been mortal enemies of each other, they have the heart to rely on your country as their backing, and they are unwilling to go to war with your country repeatedly. Now that I have ordered my subordinates to come, of course, I am sincere in forming an alliance with your country, and I will never invade it in the future. Only in this way can he let go of his hands and feet and fight with Yang Guang Duanjun as much as he can! ”

"In this way, Tang Guogong is really shrewd!" Shibi Khan's heart lit up, this was a good opportunity to ensure that the eternal wealth was rolling, but his face became more and more ugly, "He wants to seize the Sui Dynasty, but let my Turkic army of millions guard the rear for him!" With this meager gift, a million profits, he dares to think! Who would like such a stupid thing! ”

"Although Khan can rest assured, Tang Guogong is eloquent, since he has the heart to compete with Yang Guang and the heroes of the four seas, how can he be that kind of small-bellied person?" Liu Wenjing scolded secretly in his heart, you kid is presumptuous, there will always be a day when you look good in the future! On the outside, he was always extremely respectful, "Before the official left, Tang Guogong had repeatedly admonished, but he asked for an alliance with your country, everything is easy to discuss!" He had solemnly promised that in the future, every time the army captured a land, he would only take the land and the population, and all other captures would be sent to the Khan as a follow-up thanks! In the humble opinion of the lower officials, the two sides are mutually beneficial, and each takes what it needs, what's wrong? Did the Khan ever think that such a good thing that does not bother, does not work, does not cost a soldier, and has no money, where else can he find it? ”

"Is Tang Guogong really sincere?" Shibi Khan couldn't bear to ask.

"Khan's worries are really unnecessary!" Liu Wenjing said in an affirmative tone, "With the noble status of Tang Guogong, since he is determined to win the Sui Dynasty, he should be honest, and he will definitely not deceive people casually!" ”

"Well, since Tang Guogong has such good intentions, Ben Khan is not the kind of person who does not know things! Everything is written into the covenant according to what Lord Liu said, and this matter is settled! "Shibi Khan's vanity was originally very strong, and he has always believed that Li Yuanqi is really unfathomable, he belongs to the kind of person who can be befriended but cannot be bullied arbitrarily, and the other party took the initiative to make peace, so that he got a lot of psychological satisfaction, not to mention such a rich return, so he was full of joy, and accepted it when he saw it, and agreed to it.
