Chapter 292: The Judgment of Righteousness
"Great Khan, hard work!" Princess Yicheng was like a virtuous little wife, helping Jieli take off her armor, and without waiting for Jieli to speak, she immediately changed the topic and said: "Khan, the concubine has received a reliable message here, saying that Li Shimin took Qin Feng as his general, sent 20,000 troops, and once again went deep into the prairie, this time the target was the Wumeng tribe!" ”
Jieli looked stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that the Gyeongju army of Tunji and Shuofang has returned to Gyeongju?" ”
Princess Yicheng shook her head and said, "That's for us to see, don't take it seriously." The so-called cross-regional exercise www.biquge.info just to cover up Qin Feng's true purpose. ”
"That's just right, Wumeng Lao'er disobeyed me, and now he is even more ambiguous with Tuli, Qin Feng killed him just right, saving this wall grass from stabbing me in the back."
Jieli Khan was not only not angry, but gloated a little, and his dull mood became a lot lighter, and he said happily: "Since Wumeng thinks he is a character, taking advantage of my confrontation with Tuli Xiao'er, he dares to annex the small and medium-sized tribe and the remnants of the Zhanhan brother without authorization, and let him suffer a little." Hmph, if it weren't for my Jieli, with his little mouse face, he would have been wiped out more than ten times, not to mention today's scale, Wumeng, a white-eyed wolf, deserved to die. ”
As the strength of the Turki Khan became stronger and stronger, some wavering tribes of the Turks have quietly contacted the Turks and Yinan, and there seem to be signs of finding a new master. These people's small actions behind their backs, Jieli is not ignorant, but in order to avoid another civil strife, he has to choose to turn a blind eye, now, he just waits to defeat Tuli, Yi Nan, and then clean up these left and right slippery heads, anyway, Umeng is turning the world upside down behind his back, once Umeng is dead, it is also a good thing for him, but Umeng is so troublesome, Jieli Khan has also lost a lot, in recent days, there are many small and medium-sized tribes who come to complain and cry. If he can use the hand of Datang to get rid of Wumeng, a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, it will be beneficial and harmless for the current Jieli. Not only would he not help, but he was not even willing to reveal the news to Umun.
Princess Yicheng nodded, she understood Jieli Khan's thoughts, and she also knew that it was necessary to turn a blind eye, but if the Wumeng tribe was destroyed, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for Jieli, and after thinking for a while, she said with some hesitation: "Great Khan, the information I got said that in addition to being Qin Feng, the main general this time also has Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian, the pseudo-prince of the anti-Tang Dynasty, accompanying the army. ”
Princess Yicheng only explained the facts, and did not influence Jieli Khan's choice, just because she knew that she didn't know how to fight, and if she made random ideas, maybe Jieli Khan would let her be killed. It doesn't matter if he dies, but the tireless pursuit and ideals in his life will also turn into flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and finally come to naught.
Emotionally, she hoped that Jieli would send troops to defeat Qin Feng halfway and capture Li Chengqian, but rationally she thought that Jieli was really not suitable for making trouble at this moment. Princess Yicheng is also quite conflicted in her heart.
"Really?" Jieli stood up movingly, walked quickly to Princess Yicheng, and looked at her solemnly.
The crown prince, the prince of a country, the future emperor, was under one man and above ten thousand before ascending the throne; After ascending the throne, it is under God, above mankind, the crown prince is a very important figure for a dynasty like the Central Plains, and it is second only to the emperor.
If Jieli takes Li Chengqian, it means that he can obtain unlimited resources from Datang, and because of this, he can force Datang to suspend cooperation with Tuli and Yinan, and then achieve the goal of weakening the strength of the Tuli and Yinan coalition.
"The news is very reliable, it comes from within the Tang Dynasty. Infighting is always the main reason for the weakness of the Central Plains. Princess Yicheng said affirmatively.
"Qin Feng is so bold, Li Chengqian is so bold, he dares to fight my Turkic idea again, and he dares to regard my Great Turk as their backyard? Haha, they probably don't know that we've figured out the details of them. Hehe, fortunately, there is a concubine for you, otherwise, I really believe that Qin Feng has retreated to Gyeongju. Concubine Ai did a good job this time, let's capture Li Chengqian'er alive, hum, isn't Li Shimin very powerful? Once his son is in my hands, I can only do nothing. Hehe, Qin Feng may never have dreamed that in addition to the 200,000 troops facing off against Tuli, I still have the strength to spare. Hmph, he came just in time, I'll settle old accounts with him......" Jie Li said in a cold voice: "Tens of thousands of warriors besieged the Tang Army, what kind of situation is that, hahaha......"
"Great Khan!" Princess Yicheng saw that Jieli Khan was going out, so she couldn't help but cry out anxiously.
Jieli Khan looked back and smiled and asked, "Aifei, but what other good news do you want to tell me?" ”
"It's not." Princess Yicheng shook her head, walked up to Jieli Khan with a beautiful and graceful figure, and asked, "Khan, but are you going to use our hidden power to deal with Qin Feng and Li Chengqian?" ”
Jieli Khan knew the wisdom of Princess Yicheng, and said with a smile: "That's right. ”
"Great Khan, the concubine has a shallow opinion, the Great Khan might as well listen to it and make a decision."
Jieli Khan said: "Ai Concubine, you say." ”
Princess Yicheng said: "Great Khan, compared with Qin Feng and Li Chengqian, Tuli and Yinan are the top priorities, if our strength is exposed in advance, if Tuli Yinan is detected, it will not be able to have the effect of highlighting the surprise soldiers." ”
"Aifei, do you have any other opinions?"
Princess Yicheng nodded, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes: "Great Khan, Wumeng is disobedient to you, this person will be your confidant sooner or later, why should we work for him?" It's better to wait for the Tang army to get close to the Wumeng tribe, and then reveal this news to Wumeng, at that time, Wumeng can't run if he wants to, and in the end there is only a big battle with the Tang army, Wumeng is strong, in order to weaken his strength as much as possible, we can even tell the Tang army the news that Wumeng knew that the Tang army was coming, so that they can fight to the death, and then, it's not too late for the Great Khan to clean up the mess. In this way, we can not only eliminate the Tang army, but also get rid of Wumeng, improve the morale of our army, and boost the cohesion of our people. It's a multi-tasking thing. The concubine is in this plan, what do you think of the Great Khan? ”
Jieli Khan suddenly said: "You mean to kill people with a knife? Let them dog-eat-dog? ”
He Luohu bowed his head and said: "Wumeng is a desert fox, treacherous and abnormal, if he had learned early that Qin Feng had invaded Ashina Zhanhan, he would definitely hide far away, so the timing of giving him information must be accurate, neither can Wumeng have time to escape with the whole army, but also cannot let the Tang army annihilate Wumeng in one fell swoop like the last time." When the two sides are exhausted, it will not be too late for the warriors who the Great Khan had ambushed in advance to the left to reappear. In the case of our Han people, it is the snipe and the clam competing for the fisherman's profit. ”
"Brilliant plan!" When Princess Yicheng put an end to his plan, Princess Yicheng gave her a bear hug and shouted, "Thank Allah, the true God, for giving me a knight with the wisdom of a wolf." Aifei, let's act according to your strategy and let them eat dogs themselves. I will now send someone to search for the whereabouts of the Tang army, and after confirming his location, I will send someone to inform the coward of Wumeng. There are many generals in Wumeng, and this Qin Feng is not easy to deal with. The result must have been Qin Feng's tragic death, and Wumeng's wall grass paid a terrible price. We are the last gainers, just as they say the two beasts fight, so that the hunters can benefit. ”
"Is there a suitable candidate in the Khan's heart?"
Jieli Khan said: "Ashina Moruya and the Tang Army have a grudge against killing their father and destroying their clan, and he is the most suitable." ”
Princess Yicheng said: "It is true that Ashina Moruya has a grudge against the Tang army, but he is young and impulsive, if he is impulsive, the Wumeng tribe and the Tang army fight first, then we will make a wedding dress for Wumeng in vain." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Fortunately, Concubine Ai reminded me in time that this hatred made people lose their coolness, and Ashina Moruya was indeed inappropriate. In this way, I let Ashina Sheer and Zhiqi go over at the same time, the two of them are extremely powerful, and they are the great generals of my Turkic tribe. ”
At the age of eleven, Ashina Sheer was known for his wisdom and bravery, and was appointed as the leader of the Tuoshe (tribal leader), built a tooth banner in the north of the moraine, and ruled the Tiele, Huisu, and Tongluo tribes respectively with the son of Jieli Khan. She served as a pioneer for ten years and never levied taxes. He was advised to collect a generous endowment for his own enjoyment, and Sheer said, "When the tribe is rich, I am satisfied." The princes loved him very much. Later, Jieli Khan used troops in the Central Plains many times, Ashina Sheer went to dissuade him, but was not adopted, Jieli Khan did not adopt his opinion, and did not mean that he did not attach importance to this clan general, this time, Jieli Khan in order to defeat the Tuli and Yi Nan coalition forces, he also recalled him to his side.
In August of the ninth year of Wude (626), Li Shimin inherited the throne, Jieli Khan thought that Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and found that Li Jiancheng led the establishment of the border chaos, and thought that the internal contradictions of the Tang Dynasty had not been fully resolved, and the ruling order had not yet been stabilized, so he joined forces with the Tuli Khan of more than 200,000 troops and invaded the border passes of the Tang Dynasty. As the confidant general of Jieli Khan, he also went out with the army.
On August 28, the ninth year of Wude (626), Jieli Khan led his army to the north bank of the Weishui Bridge. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Jieli Khan sent Zhifu Sili to Chang'an to meet with Tang Taizong in order to observe the situation in the Tang Dynasty. After seeing Tang Taizong, he thought that he had the chance to win, so he made a big fuss, wanting to use this to intimidate Li Shimin to show his military might. However, Tang Taizong believed that under the severe situation, if he held on to the door behind closed doors, a slight show of weakness would inevitably boost the arrogance of Jieli Khan and prompt him to plunder. So after reprimanding the obsession with the loss of thinking, he imprisoned the detachment in the province under the door. After Tang Taizong imprisoned the deacon, he led his ministers Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and others to ride straight to the edge of Weishui, talked with Jieli Khan across Weishui, and reproached him for breaking the covenant. After a while, the main forces of the Tang army arrived one after another, and the army lineup was grand, and Jieli Khan saw that he had lost his strength and did not return, and Li Shimin had stepped forward, so Jieli Khan, who was afraid of falling into a big war, agreed to negotiate peace.
Because Li Shimin was newly established and his political power was not yet stable, he decided to adopt the strategy of "taking what he wanted, he must stick to it" and agreed to form an alliance. On August 30, Tang Taizong and Jieli Khan met at Benqiao, slaughtered horses and blood, and gave him a large amount of gold silk, known as the Weishui Alliance. Subsequently, he was released and retreated north with Jieli Khan.
Jieli Khan sent two henchmen at once, which shows that he attaches great importance to this sniper battle. Princess Yicheng also knew that the two of them were outstanding and were rising stars of the Turks, so she didn't say more. (To be continued.) )
