Chapter 450: The Alliance

"It's all over, let's go back!" Qin Feng said arrogantly, Jieli Khan was in his hands, the living forces of the Turks were wiped out, Xue Yantuo was also killed and wounded, and the goal set in this battle was completely successful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the efforts of Li Jing, Qin Feng, and Li Ji, the Turks and Xue Yantuo were several times worse than in history, and the same was true of Jieli Khan, who was captured completely in history, but now he is missing a leg.

The Eastern Turkic Khan Jieli was captured alive by Qin Fengsheng, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Turks were completely annihilated by the Tang Army and Xue Yantuo. As for Xue Yantuo's 30,000 soldiers, under the frantic counterattack of the Turks, they suffered heavy casualties, and less than 10,000 people were alive.

With the arrest of Jieli Khan, the duel between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks also came to an end. This battle took less than a month before and after the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Turks, the invincible northern overlord, were annihilated.

This battle shook the entire northern steppe and caused an uproar in the north. Even the Turks were defeated in one battle and could not hold out for a month, how many days would their small tribes be able to hold out?

More than a dozen grassland tribes, such as Hui Hui, Fugu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Hunbu, Sijie, Huxue, Xijie, Aqiu, etc., all shocked the Tang Dynasty's powerful strength in the world, and everyone was in danger, for fear of becoming the next Eastern Turk.

Qin Feng revised the battle exploits and battle situation to Li Jing, indicating his intention to withdraw the army.

But he got instructions to go to the Turkic Khan's court, which was a big victory, so why go to the Turkic Khan's court? I don't know if it's almost the New Year? However, Li Jing was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and in desperation, Qin Feng could only follow Li Jing's instructions in the letter, hand over the army to Cheng Yanjin to lead, and he escorted Jieli to lead the army back to the division first.

Qin Feng, Ma Yunluo, and Achilles led the pro-guard army to the Turkic Khan's court.

Just when they were chasing Jieli, Li Jing had already appeased 300,000 Turkic people with his talents, and escorted them to the Shuobei grassland, and everything was well organized.

"I've seen the Grand Steward! I've seen General Li, "Qin Feng came to Li Jing's handsome tent."

Li Jing's face was full of red light at the moment, and the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks in this battle, annihilating this grassland lord in one fell swoop, which can be described as a great achievement, enough to last through the ages. As the commander of the three armed forces, his name will go down in history. is how indifferent he is to fame and fortune, and in the face of this big victory, he can't help but be happy and excited.

"Approaching step by step, fighting and capturing, playing beautifully! The afterlife is terrifying! Li Ji, who was also full of red light, pointed at Qin Feng and praised him, he had already learned a series of things from the battle report. How meticulous his mind is, how high his military literacy is, just looking at the battle report, he almost knows the situation in his mind. Although Qin Feng took away his great merit, his extermination of the Turkic Khan's court was also a miracle feat, and if compared with the Han Dynasty, it was comparable to Huo Wei's merits.

"The general has won the award, if there is no great plan of the chief to force Jieli Khan to escape, it will be difficult for us to obtain such a result." Qin Feng said politely, and Li Ji also nodded in agreement, if Li Jing, who had no last resort, laid out this overall situation, it would not be so easy for them to win.

After the politeness, Qin Feng, who had a straightforward temperament, asked why they came over: they were already in the northwest direction, as long as they followed the route of the troops, they could turn back to Datang and return to Shuofang, there was no need to make another trip.

Li Jing said with a smile: "How could this celebration banquet be held without you, a hero of the world and a lightning god?" ”

Qin Feng was confused, and said in a bit of confusion: "Celebration banquet? Shouldn't it be back to Chang'an, Your Majesty will do something for us? ”

They have achieved such an achievement, this celebration banquet must be indispensable, and it is almost conceivable how they will be treated ceremoniously after returning to Chang'an, but that is all after returning to the division, and now they are still in the Turkic Khan's Court, what kind of celebration banquet will they make.

"That's what Your Majesty meant." Li Jing elaborated on the reason.

"Your Majesty, this is a combination of grace and power. Indeed, this is the best time to extend my Datang tentacles here. ”

Qin Feng suddenly realized, and sighed: "This king is defeated more than this, in the past, when Jieli Jun came to the grassland, how could any tribe dare to do this?" Now that he has been defeated by my Tang Dynasty, so many tribes have emerged to denounce his crimes. If it is we who lose, I am afraid that they will change their faces and sing praises to Jieli. ”

It turned out that the Tang army had achieved an unprecedented victory, and the northern grasslands were all frightened by the strength displayed by the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't wait to clear up their relationship with the Eastern Turks. unanimously denounced Jieli, listing more than a dozen of his major sins and hundreds of minor sins. Reprimanding and scolding fell into the well, and despised the objects they hugged their thighs in the past.

Under the call of Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan, more than a dozen tribes on the grassland, such as Huifu, Fugu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Hunbu, Sijie, Huxue, Xijie, and Aqiu, have been writing to thank the Tang Dynasty for removing the tumor on the grassland for them, and at the same time, they also intend to celebrate the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in the grassland and thank all the Tang soldiers for their efforts.

"Shameless, shameless." After listening to Li Jing's introduction, Qin Feng really blushed for those tribal chiefs. This sycophant is so obviously numb.

Li Jing said with a smile: "It is human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard, these people are interested, so as not to let us fight one by one, they live under the deterrence of my Tang Dynasty, we don't need to go through war at all to easily get what we want, and they can be said to have their own gains as before." ”

Qin Feng nodded, this is like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.

Regarding the interest of the grassland tribes, Li Shimin is also happy to act as a messenger of justice on the grassland and accept their kindness.

Li Jidao: "Your Majesty intends to take this opportunity to expand its influence on the grassland!" ”

Li Jing said: "Mao Gong is right, what my Datang inherited is a broken mountain and river after the troubled times, and everything is in ruins. For this war, Datang almost did its best. Fortunately, everything is progressing and winning, otherwise the three of us would have become sinners of the Tang Dynasty and the nation. However, although we won a great victory, it was difficult to fight again in the short term, and there are no tribes in the north that are worthy of my Datang's action. Those small and medium-sized tribes, hiding in Mobei, specially went deep into Mobei and fought with them, which did not conform to the actual situation. Your Majesty means both grace and might, as long as they are willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty, and pay tribute to my Datang every year with some materials, and they will not be held accountable for anything in the past. ”

Qin Feng had no opinion, although he felt that he could wipe out all the foreign peoples on the grassland like the Turks, in exchange for real peace and stability, but this was obviously not in line with reality.

The world is too big, and Mobei is too big.

Small and medium-sized tribes have no scruples, and letting the deepest part hide is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and with the current situation, it is really impossible to do such a thing as total annihilation.

"The banquet was held two days later, and recently Xue Yantuo and the chieftains of the various tribes of the grassland would arrive. Until then, you can rest well. When Li Jing said this, he asked Qin Feng: "I have never seen Yi Nan, what do you think of him?" ”

Qin Feng said: "This person is not simple at all! He is definitely a heroic figure, if he is allowed to develop, maybe in the near future, Xue Yantuo will definitely develop into the second Eastern Turk. Moreover, this person is exquisite, and it is easier to capture people's hearts than the domineering Jieli Khan. ”

Li Jidao: "Yi Nan can fish in troubled waters in the civil war of Jieli and Tuli, and strengthen himself, he is indeed a character, if he is in charge of the north, he can indeed stabilize the situation in the north as soon as possible, so as to obtain huge profits." However, there are two sides to everything, Xue Yantuo has a khan like him, and the speed of development in the future must not be underestimated. ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "That's the case, if he becomes strong in the future, he will inevitably threaten my influence in the north of the Tang Dynasty, but after thinking about it." I don't think I have so many worries, now Xue Yantuo is also very sad, he has been working hard in order to get the support of my Datang, in this last battle, those 30,000 people are his last family, and now it's almost over. After this, the gap between Datang and Xue Yantuo will only get bigger and bigger. Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have not yet recovered. The Turks have been restricting the development of our Tang Dynasty for many years, so there is this war. Now that I have decided the Turks in the first war of the Tang Dynasty, we will destroy the invincible Turks and shock the world. In a short period of time, no one dared to touch the momentum of our army. What we need now is a stable environment for development, and peace in the north means that we can receive a large amount of tribute every year, and we can make excellent economic progress through trade every year. All our conditions are superior to Xue Yantuo, they are the development of one plus one, but we are the transformation of one hundred plus one hundred. The progress may be the same, but the results are vastly different. Even if Xue Yantuo becomes the second Turk in the future, it is a Tang Dynasty that does not know what it will become. Now a stable north, stronger than anything else. Besides, I still wish that Xue Yanma's rapid development, and then stupidly become the enemy of my Datang, in this way, our Datang will have a place to train troops, otherwise, my Datang's soldiers will only be absent from the battle formation for a long time, and when the time comes, if there is a sudden war, what will we fight with others. Besides, we have a surprise in our hands that we can use. What are you afraid of him? ”

"Makes sense!" Li Jing glanced at Qin Feng unexpectedly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such insight in this regard." ”

Qin Feng smiled: "This person always needs to grow." In fact, he said it according to the historical process, in history, the Tang Dynasty supported Xue Yantuo to ensure the stability of the north, which really made Xue Yantuo grow up. However, during the period of harmonious relations between the two sides, Xue Yantuo often paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty with horses, cattle, sheep, camels, mink, etc. The number is huge, often tens of millions, or even tens of thousands. Trade with the North also stabilized the country's economy.

The Tang Dynasty can be said to have taken advantage of it, and just when Xue Yantuo showed signs of rising, the black-bellied Li Shimin sent someone to destroy him.

Playing black and playing politics, Qin Feng believes that there should be no one in this world who can compare to Li Shimin, so he is a little unimpressed by Li Jing's worries.

Yi Nan can indeed be regarded as a character, but compared to Li Shimin, it is much worse. The two are of the same age, and Datang will only prosper under the leadership of Li Shimin, and its GDP will double every year.
