Spring.

February.

Li Shimin sent Hongluqing Tang Jian and general An Xiuren to appease Jieli Khan, and ordered Li Jing to lead his troops to respond.

The eighth day of the first month.

Li Jing figured out Li Shimin's true intention to do this, and conspired with Li Ji: "Although Jieli was defeated, its troops still have a lot of troops, and its strength is still very strong. Now Tang Jian has arrived in the east. In the Turkic camp, Jieli Khan was unprepared, if he selected 10,000 elite cavalry, and carried twenty days of grain and grass to attack the east from Baidao. The Turks can survive without a fight. ”

Zhang Gongjin, deputy head of the Dingxiangdao march, said: "The Holy Lord has issued an edict to accept their surrender, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are in the camp of the other party, how can they attack?" Li Jing said: "Back then, Han Xin defeated the Qi State by sneak attack. As for Tang Jian, it just happened that the inside and the outside should be combined. ”

Fang Xu, who knows history, naturally agrees with Li Jing's opinion. Besides, the things that Li Jing and Li Tao decided were not valid for Zhang Gongjin.

So he ordered Li Tao to command the army, personally led 10,000 elite horsemen, set off overnight, marched to Yinshan, and met the east. The Turks had more than 1,000 tents, all of which were captured, and they were ordered to follow the Tang army and lead the way with the Tang Heavenly Army. At this time, Jieli was very happy to see Tang Jian, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and his heart was a little calm, and he relaxed his guard.

Li Jing ordered Su Dingfang to lead 200 cavalry as the vanguard, taking advantage of the fog to move forward quietly. The tent of the Turkic Jieli Khan was only seven miles away. The Turks only found out. Su Dingfang drove straight into Jieli's Khan's tooth tent. The Turkic army did not know how many Tang troops there were in the thick fog, and the formation was in chaos. Like a frightened bird, Jieli Khan hurriedly rode away on horseback. The Turkic army also scattered and fled. Tang Jian also got out in time. Li Jing's army arrived. More than 10,000 enemies were killed, more than 100,000 prisoners were captured, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were captured, and the former Princess Yicheng of Sui also died in the chaos.

Jieli Khan led more than 10,000 people to cross the desert in the north, but was blocked by Li Tao at the mouth of the moraine, and could not flee north, and many of his subordinates led the people to surrender.

In a hurry, he wanted to flee westward from the clouds, intending to defect to Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, or Lu Wentai, the king of Gaochang. On the way, he ran head-on into Li Daozong's Datong army. After a fierce battle, the Tang general Zhang Baoxiang captured Jieli Khan.

At this point, the east. Turkic pacification.

The good news was quickly transmitted back to Chang'an.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the East. The Turks were a great power in the northwest. Li Jing and the others destroyed the east. The Turks not only relieved the Tang Dynasty of the scourge on the northwest frontier, but also washed away Li Yuan and Li Shimin to the east. The disgrace of Turkic condescension.

After the news of Emperor Li Yuan's rule, he was overjoyed, and he summoned Li Shimin and the old ministers, kings, princesses, princesses, etc. to Lingyan Pavilion to hold a banquet to celebrate. On a whim, he also played the pipa himself, Li Shimin danced, and everyone got up one after another to raise a glass of congratulations, which lasted until late at night.

Datang Jiangdong. The Turkic territory was included in its own territory, and the prefectures of Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong were set up on it. As a result, the territory expanded to 600 li north of Yinshan, and its sphere of influence reached Lake Baikal.

After Jieli was captured and escorted to Chang'an, Li Shimin did not kill him, and was named the King of Guiyi and the General of the Right Guard (only a fictitious title), allowing him to spend the rest of his life in Chang'an. The Turki Khan then surrendered and was named the king of Beiping. East. The famous generals or leaders of the Turks, including Zhi Lost Sili, Ashina Sheer, Ashina Simo, and Qibi He Li, all surrendered and were reused.

When Jieli was captured, there were more than 100,000 Turkic people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin adopted the advice of Wen Yanbo, the Chinese scholar: "All their tribes, follow their local customs, and realize the empty land." "This part of the Turkic people was settled between Youzhou in the east and Lingzhou in the west. In the area ruled by the former Tuli Khan, four prefectures were set up: Shunzhou, Youzhou, Huazhou, and Changzhou. The Fenjieli Khan belonged to six states, with the Xiangdu Governor's Mansion on the left and the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion on the right. Appointed Tuli as the governor of Shunzhou. The Turkic chieftains who defected to the Tang Dynasty were all awarded the post of general or lieutenant general, and there were more than 100 officials above the fifth rank, accounting for almost half of the total number of officials at the same level in the DPRK and China. Nearly 10,000 Turkic families moved to the capital city of Chang'an.

Xue Yantuo's True Pearl Khan Yinan also expressed his submission on the table.

As for the subsequent stabbing of Li Shimin in the northern prairie, Xue Yantuo, the only family, is another story.
