Chapter 43: The Weishui Alliance (2)

PS: Thank you for the smile of the sugar cake and the monthly pass support of the demon king Chen Haotian! Otaku thank you!!

There was no one outside the tent, except for the vast night and the north wind whistling across the sky. Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and this winter, Chang'an City will be infinitely cold. The nearest guards were still three feet away, because the two top Turkic leaders discussed the matter and sent the guards a little farther away.

The two returned to the house, looked at the arrow on the pillar, and looked at each other without saying a word.

"Datang still has such a marksman? That's impossible! There is no high ground around the City Lord's Mansion in Jingyang City, and it is almost impossible to shoot arrows here! Jieli looked at the arrow and wondered.

"Indeed, it is unlikely that this is a bow and arrow, it should be an arrow issued by a master with a hidden weapon. But such a master, I Turkic is only Taishang, such a grandmaster-level master, how can he take it lightly? And what is the reason why I didn't assassinate the two of us, but shot this arrow? Tuli also found it strange. You must know that the opportunity just now can definitely kill two of you on the spot, and you can kill one person at the worst, so that the Turkic army will inevitably riot, for Datang, it is a good opportunity to reduce pressure, how can it be so anticlimactic?

Jieli stepped forward and pulled out the arrow, but with a little force, the arrow was pulled out, no, it was not an arrow, but an arrow shaft. It turned out that this arrow was hollow, and there was a truncated face an inch above the arrow, and it was hollow inside, and a paper roll was stuffed.

"Three days later, at sunset, on the banks of Weishui. Forever allied! Jieli pulled out the paper scroll and read. Jieli knows Chinese and also understands Chinese characters. This was all taught by his wife, the former Princess of Sui, Princess Yicheng. This Yang Jian's daughter, Yang Guang's sister, followed the three generations of Turkic khans, and this time the princess of the former dynasty also contributed to the army. Because Li Yuan's father and son usurped the country that originally belonged to her father and brother, she can be described as loving and hating Datang, after all, this is her homeland. But now the owner of the land is her enemy.

"What does this mean? The Tang Dynasty wanted to make peace? "Tuli is reluctant, he has hit the gate of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, how can he give up?

"I see. Peace is certain! Jieli said.

"Why?" Tuli was puzzled.

"Because of the previous master! If we don't make peace, then we may not be able to return to the grassland! Jieli said with a solemn face.

"Didn't he kill us? I don't think I will make a move! "Tuli couldn't be sure, if the arrow just now was aimed at him, then he would have to be a corpse on the ground now. I felt a chill in my heart when I thought about it, and I looked left and right. It seems to be looking for the hidden master.

"He doesn't kill us. It's because they want to make peace, and the Tang Dynasty can't afford it now! Although we went on the expedition for less than half a month, it was because we all plundered all the way, and we didn't garrison those cities that fell to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fight here! "Jieli is much sharper than his brother Tuli.

"Then the eldest brother and brother will talk about it, why the master didn't kill us because he made peace!" Tuli didn't get it yet.

"If one of us dies, although it will cause the soldiers to mutiny, there will still be one who can hold his ground. will definitely attack Chang'an for the sake of another revenge, regardless of one qiē. If we both die. Then whether our soldiers are scattered into cut-out bandits, or desperately avenge the two of us, it is not something that the Tang Dynasty can afford, after all, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers here. It's not three or five thousand people, so many bandits, Datang will not be at peace! Jieli analyzed, he was also worried that the master would quietly take his head, and he was also comforting himself by saying this.

"Then when we were in the grassland, why didn't these masters come to kill us?" Tuli is a reckless man, the reason why he was able to trap Li Er in the sixth year of Wude last time was because of the huge disparity in strength, and he surrounded Li Er with his strength, and then Li Xiuning came and rescued Li Er.

"Because we also have such masters in the steppe, if they dare to kill our Turkic khan, then their emperor may have to be closely protected all the time to have a sense of security!" Jieli admires Tuli's tendon very much, this guy doesn't want anything, he just wants to lead the troops to fight, but he has pulled up a large group of people, and he can actually compete with himself on the grassland, which is simply a miracle.

"So, we have no choice but to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty?" Tuli said helplessly, he still wanted to enter the palace and sit on the throne of the emperor of the Han people, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a mysterious master here.

"Don't worry, my Turks can fight the Tang Dynasty like this this time, I expect them to not recover their vitality in three or five years, and when we return to the grassland, we will recuperate for a period of time, and then go south again!" Jieli sneered, as long as the Tang Dynasty did it every few years, it would definitely not develop, and it would not be their Turkic granary!

"Hmmm! That's it! Tuli didn't have any other ideas, and it was really difficult for him to think about this, so when he heard his eldest brother say this, he nodded suddenly.

In this way, the Turks did not take a step forward, because Jieli and Turki were afraid of death, which gave the Tang Dynasty a chance to breathe, but a few years later, it was a different situation, when the situation would be diametrically opposite, and the Turks would be bombarded to the scum by the Tang Dynasty.

Time passed quietly, and three days passed in a flash. On this day, Li Er stood in front of the Suzaku Gate, looking at the majestic and silent palace, the eaves were steep, brilliant and atmospheric, but he would sign that humiliating covenant, Li Er's hands were clenched into fists, the flesh in his palms had already been eroded, and he didn't know how many times he clenched his nails in his palms these days, and his eyes flashed with a determined light: One day, I will let the Turkic dead race be exterminated!

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!" Dark One appeared next to Li Er, three days ago he went to send the arrow, the Turks actually settled in Jingyang City, the people in the city were humiliated, wanton killing, at that time Dark One almost couldn't hold back, wanting to kill those Turkic barbarians. But he didn't dare, because hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were in Jingyang City, how many could he kill? can kill the two of them, but the Turks who are scattered like that will bring deeper disasters to the Tang Dynasty, is this the time when it is temporary, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, so although he is full of murderous intent, he has to give up.

"Let's go, I'll meet this Jieli Khan!" Li Er was about to turn over and get on the horse, when he was suddenly stunned, this horse was snow-white, without a trace of variegation, this was his royal mount, the snow lion at night.

"Give me a new horse!" Li Er suddenly asked, I don't know what kind of madness he had.

"Yes!" Immediately, an attendant stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, and then brought back another black steed.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, turned over, and shook the reins: "Drive!" "Towards the outside of Chang'an City, there are only a few people with him, and the general is fighting outside, this time with Li Er is only the dark one is the biggest hole card, and the rest of the people are the kind of people who have a certain amount of force, but they are by no means the kind of fierce generals.

Forty miles of road, in the gallop of a few people's crotches and horses, they arrived at the bank of Weishui in less than an hour, Li Er saw the low city wall of Jingyang City from a distance, but at this moment it had already been bulldozed, leaving only a ruin. The surrounding official roads were full of the corpses of the ragged Tang people, Li Er's brows furrowed, his hands once again clenched the reins of the horse, and he pulled it suddenly, and under the pain of the horse, the person stood up and let out a long neighing sound.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who followed Li Er, also had a sad face, these are all the people of Datang, all of them are the most basic foundation of Datang, and now they are slaughtered by this gang of uncivilized barbarians, Datang has suffered heavy losses this time, and his vitality has been greatly damaged. The population was already declining, and now this war is likely to reduce the number of people by more than 100,000 households.

Jieli and Tuli had been waiting outside the gate of Jingyang City for a long time, and when they saw Li Er, they came alone, and they were angry with a killing intent in their hearts at that moment, and they wanted to leave Li Er here.

But as soon as this thought arose, a black-robed man beside Li Er turned his head, and a sharp gaze that seemed to be like substance stabbed straight at the two of them, and they seemed to have a feeling of being naked at this moment.

'Master, top master' The two glanced at each other, knowing each other's thoughts, this Tang Dynasty emperor dared to take only a few people to his camp of more than 100,000 people, relying on this master, as long as he dared to be unfavorable to the Han emperor, then he would definitely be killed by this top master in a very short time.

It seems that this time there is no way to keep this Han emperor, both of them are people who cherish their lives, how can they risk their lives for the sake of this emperor? So Li Er came to Jieli and Tuli safely.

"Jieli Khan, what is the reason for suddenly raising troops to attack my Tang Dynasty?" Li Er asked loudly, at this time, Li Er will not lose the position, and the loser will not lose the battle.

"The grassland is bitter and cold, how much rain may fall on my cǎo plain this year, the sons and daughters on the grassland are going to be hungry, you are rich in the Tang Dynasty, we will borrow some food from you, so that the sons and daughters of the grassland can survive this cold winter!" Jieli replied with a smile.

Li Er's face was pale, but he was helpless, the plan was very good, but the most critical link fell off the chain, and then it was a rout, except for Wei Chigong with the sixteen guards to eliminate some of the living forces on the side of the Turks, the rest of the place was all a failure, and the Turkic attack was as fast as lightning, and the rest of the Tang Dynasty troops had not yet arrived, and they were beaten by these two people outside Chang'an City.

"I, Datang, am willing to marry Qin and Jin with the Turks forever, I don't know what the Khan wants?" Li Er had to give in first, because at this time Jieli had the absolute upper hand, although he knew that the side that gave in first would definitely pay a heavy price, but this time only he could bear it!

"Yes, but, Han Emperor, you have to show some sincerity in forming an alliance!" Jieli is starting to ask for benefits, since he can't lay down Chang'an, so many things are also a good choice.

"I wonder what the Khan wants? As long as I have it, I will not be stingy! Li Er's heart was dripping blood, but he also had to ask in a low voice, looking at the playful eyes of Jieli on the other side, he once again made up his mind in his heart to destroy the Turks. (To be continued......)
