Li Shimin walked forward, took a few steps and turned back and said, "Cen Wenwen, the great general Li Jing once recommended you to me, he is a martial artist, why do you appreciate you so much?" ”

Before Cen Wenwen could reply, Feng Deyi said on the side: "Cen Wenwen was originally working in the Later Liang Xiao Milling Army, and the general pacified Houliang, captured Cen Wenwen, and asked him to draft some proclamations, spread the Later Liang territory, and many prefectures and counties surrendered when they saw the documents."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "No wonder, your Cen Wenwen's pen is worth 100,000 soldiers." ”

Cen Wenwen bowed his head and said: "They are all at the peak of the Tang Army, what credit do the ministers have?" Cen Wenwen behaved like a talent, Li Shimin already had a good impression of it, and he said to Cen Wenwen: "After you finish memorizing this period of national history, don't revise the history in the history museum, I promoted you to the secretary Lang, and walked between the Zhongshu Inner Trophion and the Hongwen Palace." ”

Feng Deyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed Cen Wen: "Thank you!" ”

Cen Wenwen hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Li Shimin left, Cen Wenwen bowed to Feng Deyi, he knew in his heart that he could have such an opportunity today to jump into the dragon gate, all because of Feng Deyi's promotion.

After Li Shimin left, Feng Deyi said happily to Cen Wenwen: "The old man is here, but I want to congratulate Mr. in advance on his ability to jump into the dragon gate, which is really gratifying!" After speaking, he also made a congratulatory look.

"The text can have today, all look at the cultivation of adults, if it is a place where the text is useful in other days, you don't need to say a word to the adult, the text should repay the adult's kindness!" Cen Wenwen's words at this time are true, if there is no Feng Deyi, he Cen Wenwen will not be favored by Li Shimin at all, as the saying goes, don't dig into the well, Feng Deyi treats him like this, he must repay his kindness.

Hearing Cen Wenwen say this, Feng Deyi naturally waited for his words, touched the frustrated goatee and said, "The old man really has to ask the text for help now." I don't know if the text can really help me. ”

"Oh? Do you have any other wishes? Hearing Feng Deyi say this, Cen Wenwen suddenly had a full of questions, he didn't know that Feng Deyi was now above one person, and under ten thousand people, where would he still be in trouble.

"Hehe, the old man's wish is to see the King of Chu live in the East Palace in his lifetime." Feng Deyi directly opened the skylight to Cen Wenwen and said bright words, he knew that there was no need to detour.

Cen Wenwen knew that there was a wave of people in the government and the opposition who were desperate to hope that Li Ke would be able to enter the East Palace, and Feng Deyi was the leader of this wave of people.

Seeing Cen Wenwen thinking, Feng Deyi chased after him and asked, "Dare to ask the text, how is the King of Chu?" Seeing that Cen Wenwen was still thinking about it, Feng Deyi was afraid that Cen Wenwen would disagree, so he asked in a different way.

"Both ability and political integrity!" Cen Wenwen used four short words to describe Li Ke.

"The old man is old, and he may not be able to help the King of Chu enter the East Palace in his lifetime, but the old man hopes that you can agree."

When Feng Deyi said this, he admitted that he was indeed really old, but if he really waited for that day, he might never be able to wait, but he hoped to find a wave of talents for Li Ke in his lifetime, which was his greatest wish now.

Seeing Feng Deyi like this, Cen Wenwen replied without thinking, "The minister is willing to serve the dogs and horses under the command of the King of Chu, in order to thank the lord for his kindness. ”

Hearing Cen Wenwen say this, Feng Deyi had an excited expression on his face, "It's good to have the help of the text, the king of Chu is lucky, the king of Chu is lucky."

In just one sentence, Feng Deyi pulled Cen Wenwen into his bed and sought a wise minister for Li Ke.

The next day, Fan Xin came to the Jieli camp and brought Li Shimin's peace conditions.

This was obviously a big surprise to Jieli. He peeked into the weakness of the other party's heart from Li Shimin's actions, and was about to refuse, but the generals made a fuss, and the leaders of Tuli, Qibi, He Li, and more than a dozen tribes all proposed to accept the conditions and withdraw from the army.

Qi Bi He Li said it simply, since there are so many treasures, what is the strength of this battle? After all, Chang'an is already an empty city, and it can neither graze nor hunt.

He asked Jieli to get off the donkey down the slope and withdraw the army. Several henchmen under Jieli knew that Jieli's mind was to compete with Li Shimin for the co-owner of the Central Plains, and they would not take the money in their eyes, so they accused Qi Bihe Li of being short-sighted, saying that now is a good opportunity to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and it can't be so cheap Li Shimin.

He pointed out that Li Shimin is indeed in a hurry at the moment, but with so many treasures, I am afraid that the soldiers of all departments will not be willing to risk their lives to charge into battle, if the soldiers do not want to fight, no matter how hard the leader is, it will be useless.

As soon as Tuli spoke, those in the tent who didn't dare to speak up echoed, and the situation in the tent suddenly reversed.

Jieli glanced at Tu Li, then looked at the generals in the tent, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Well, since the second khan said so, let's discuss and withdraw the army." ”

Those few Jieli henchmen all showed puzzled expressions.

That night, the news of the withdrawal of the troops spread throughout the company camps of the Jieli Department, and all the troops began to revel, and the noisy sound of guessing the boxing order sounded everywhere, but Jieli quietly came to the spirit of Colum and sat quietly for the night.

After dawn, Zhi Ya Sili, who had just been released by the Tang army, angrily walked into the tent and shouted: "Great Khan, do you really want to withdraw from the army?" ”

Jieli nodded. Zhiya Sili's face turned the color of pig liver, and he almost roared: "I said Great Khan, Li Shimin has one breath left, when will there be such a chance again?" As long as you give the order and the ministers come to fight this first battle, can Chang'an City still be able to take it! ”

"Zhiya Sili, I will not forget the grievances you suffered in Chang'an. But you just returned to the camp and don't know the military situation, do you think it was Li Shimin who defeated us? No, it was ourselves who defeated us! Jieli picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all, then threw the wine bowl to the ground, and then said: "I don't know that Li Shimin only has one breath left, but will those people let me kill Li Shimin so smoothly?" Even if I do give the order to siege the city, who will have the strength to carry it out? Tuli, Qibi, what is the force or the punishment? In the end, it is not our tens of thousands of old brothers who are working hard, and when the battle is over, Li Shimin will certainly lose, and I will not win, and it will be those guys who are watching the excitement on the sidelines! ”

Zhiya Sili was stunned. Jieli looked at the field outside, and said with a little sentimentality: "These treasures of Li Shimin have made me completely understand, although these eighteen tribes have stood under the same banner, their hearts are still as divided as before, if they are not really brought together, no matter how brave and good our cavalry is, their hooves will not be able to really get out of the grassland!" So I resolved to withdraw, to beat their hearts together like iron! Then come to the Central Plains. ”

Zhi Ya Sili arched his hand: "Great Khan, forgive the ministers for being blunt, and the ministers understand your hard work." ”

On August 30, Jieli and Li Shimin beheaded the White Horse Alliance on the bridge. After that, the army of Ashina retreated northward.

Before leaving, Jieli asked Zhiya Sili to do one thing, and buried Colum secretly in the suburbs of Chang'an. Because he was afraid that the Tang army would dig up the grave and no monument was erected, Jieli wanted his cousin to stay here to watch Chang'an, and he secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would lead the army to kill again! But how did he know that he didn't have a chance here, and this might be the last time he came to Chang'an.

On the day Jieli retreated, the subjects in Chang'an City did not feel happy, and the mood of shame spread everywhere.

On Zhuque Street, someone recognized Fan Xin's car and shouted, look, he is the thief who bribed Hu Bing, this dog thing, he still dares to swagger through the market? Hundreds of officials and civilians immediately rushed up to overturn the carriage, pulled Fan Xin out of the carriage, and punched and kicked him.

Fan Xin's attendant shouted: "He is a minister of the imperial court, you can't treat him like this!" ”

This sentence summoned a scolding: "Fan Xin is Hu Kou's minion, you are a slave of the minion, you should be beaten even more!" Dozens of men rushed up and threw the attendant to the ground, beating him to the point of bleeding and wailing.

The incident alarmed Jingzhao Yin Chuheng, he personally brought hundreds of soldiers to rush to suppress, the soldiers shouted loudly for a long time, those emotional officials and people still refused to stop, Chu Heng was annoyed, and ordered his subordinates to take people.

Fan Xin, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly raised his hand to stop it: "Slow, Lord Chu, they are all people who are loyal to the country and hate Hu Kou, and if they have resentment in their hearts, let them sprinkle on their officials' heads!" Saying that, Fan Xin staggered to his feet, pointed to his chest and shouted to everyone: "Come on, fight here, when the emperor summons you to the battlefield to kill Hu Kou in the future, don't forget to practice on my cheap bone!" Everyone rushed up again, punching and kicking Fan Xin, Fan Xin was still shouting: "Good fight, let's do it again......"

After Li Shimin learned about this, he felt very sad.

It was his own decision to retreat from the enemy, but Fan Xin suffered from the old fist for this.

He asked Fan Xin to be brought into the palace, inquired about his injuries, and immediately ordered Fan Xin to be promoted to the head of the military department, and to personally put on the court clothes for Fan Xin. Fan Xin was moved to tears and knelt down in front of the emperor, but did not accept this reward.

Li Shimin was surprised, he said: "It was your plot to retreat the enemy soldiers and keep Chang'an, with such a great merit, shouldn't you be promoted?" ”

Fan Xin said with a frightened face: "Your Majesty, now everyone thinks that the ministers are tricking the emperor to buy and retreat Hu Bing, if the emperor is promoted to the minister, the loyal people will be disappointed in the court, and those who are small people mistakenly think that they can seek glory by betraying the country, if there is such a situation, the Tang Dynasty will scatter the people's hearts, when will today's shame be rewarded!" ”
