Near Chang'an City, the Turkic Jieli Khan chased all the way to the outside of Chang'an City with more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry under his subordinates, and the Turkic Jieli Khan looked at these suburbs of Chang'an that had been cleaned up, and his face was very dark. Because the suburbs of Chang'an have been cleaned up, Datang has adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and the people directly around Chang'an City have also been unified into Chang'an City, so that there are no more people around.

In this way, the Turks could not rob the people around Chang'an, because not a single grain was left for the Turks. In this way, the Turks did not grab anything at all, so they would definitely not be able to sustain themselves for a long time.

"Khan, what should I do? Now we don't have enough food, I'm afraid we can't attack the city, let alone stay in the Central Plains for a long time, so if this goes on for a long time, then we can't conquer Chang'an! Jieli's cronies said stubbornly.

Jieli looked at this towering city wall, of course, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to conquer this Chang'an. Maybe his own hundreds of thousands of cavalry are menacing, and it seems that the pressure is very great. But if it is a real siege, it will definitely not be able to conquer Chang'an. Jieli came to join the Kou this time, in fact, the reason is not complicated, it is nothing more than to coerce these tribal leaders within the Turks to attack Chang'an with himself, so that the contradictions within the Turks can be alleviated.

Since he originally listened to the advice of the traitor Zhao Deyan and messed around within the Turks, it turned out that the Turks had already deviated from morality. If we do not hurry up to erect a common Yen of the Turks, then this Turk will face the result of splitting. Of course, Jieli was not willing to be so divided, so in the absence of a way to re-divide the interests, he could only establish a common enemy to strengthen his internal cohesion. It's a pity that the nomadic tribal system of the Turks makes it impossible for them to have a perfect bureaucracy like the Central Plains Dynasty, which will naturally have a great centrifugal force and problems.

"What should we do next this time? Let the Tuli people attack! Originally, the Tang general Chi Gong had just captured Ashina Moxian, and this Ashina Moxuan had always supported Tuli, and we could consider letting Tuli's people take the lead this time. Jieli said.

But when the little Turkic Khan Tuli listened to Jieli's words, he immediately began to scold in his heart: "This Jieli, this is to let me take the lead in attacking the city, don't I know, let our cavalry go to attack the city, isn't this looking for death?" We're not stupid! ”

"Go and tell Jieli that if you want to attack the city, you go by yourself, I won't go! My soldiers were defeated by Wei Chigong just now, we have to rest! Tuli replied.

Tuli is not stupid, let his people be cannon fodder, and then Jieli can consolidate his position? You must know that Tuli has always wanted to regain the position of Khan, he is not stupid! Don't accumulate strength at this time, and then go and then work hard for the future competition for the position of Khan, go stupidly and consume your own strength, and go to be cannon fodder? This kind of Turkic tribe, not only has to defend against the enemy's sneak attack in front, but also has to be careful of the allies behind the stabbing knife, isn't this the blackest?

Under this alliance model, the spoils are often distributed after the war, not to see who contributed the most, but to see who has the strongest remaining strength. So of course Tuli will not be stupid to take the lead, so that they will definitely not be willing to take the lead.

It wasn't surprising that Jieli heard that Tuli refused to go out to take the lead. However, he then ordered other people to take the lead, but the Turks were giggling one by one, and they didn't care about him at all, and they didn't want to come out to attack the city at all. It's okay to fight in the field, but let them go to siege the city, their brains haven't entered the water yet! Siege is first of all a weakness for the Turks who are not good at siege, and the opponent is a Han Chinese who are good at defending cities. Isn't it stupid for the Turks to give up their strengths to fight in this way? They are not stupid, and they know that Jieli wants to sacrifice their troops this time, so that they can weaken other tribes and maintain Jieli Khan's position.

They are not stupid, so naturally they will not fall for this kind of scheme. So they are all looking for reasons one by one, under the pretext that as long as they are willing to find this kind of thing, they can always find it. They are not willing to sacrifice their strength to help be cannon fodder, so yes, compensation Yes, they will not do such stupid things. However, Jieli's face was extremely gloomy, this subordinate had obviously attacked Chang'an, but there was a lot of chicken feathers inside, and it was impossible for them to sacrifice their own interests and then attack Chang'an.

The greatest weakness of this system of Turkic tribal confederation has been highlighted, and the system of this Turkic confederation is not a confederation at all. Under such a system, everyone has their own little abacus, and under this confederation model, they all want to die and not die poor, so they are not stupid if they can sacrifice themselves to contribute!

"Bastards, these guys! Stubbornly losing your strength, you go to enter Chang'an, and then ask the Tang Emperor, why don't you continue to fulfill the agreement of the year, you should hand over our wealth on time to our Turks. Jieli said.

Stubbornly lost his strength and came to Chang'an City, he found that Chang'an was under martial law everywhere, and the streets were full of soldiers. And many people are also helping the army to transport food, and then they are very shocked to lose their thinking. This common man actually helped the Tang Dynasty army to transport grain, although it was only to transport grain, but there may be young adults to join the Tang army at any time, so the strength of the Tang Dynasty should not be underestimated!

"Let me tell you, let the Turks conquer Chang'an, then the Yongjia Rebellion will reappear, we Han people will be two-legged sheep, and the world will be **** at that time. We Han Chinese will all be two-legged sheep in captivity by the barbarians, and then they will kill us when they are hungry and roast us for food! Therefore, we would rather fight with them than be treated as roast sheep by them. ”

"The Turks want to roast us like two-legged sheep, so we will fight with them!" "Fight!" "Fight!" ……

Under the condition of the "ideological work" of the literati mobilized by the times, the eyes of the people of Chang'an were red, and they were obviously unwilling to be two-legged sheep. Especially now that the world is too peaceful, they are naturally reluctant to return to the troubled times again. Only those who have gone through troubled times will truly cherish peace. These people have just settled down from the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, and whether they want to or not, the Tang Dynasty is currently the country that is most likely to give them peace. Whether they want to or not, they can only support Datang in European stocks, otherwise they have no hope.

This is also the fact that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the people are not willing to continue the troubled times, so they will naturally support which of the most powerful imperial courts, and then hope to achieve peace. As long as the strength is strong, the people will also support it, because the people want peace.

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an are also responsible for helping the Tang army carry supplies, so that the Tang army has the support of hundreds of thousands of people, so their strength is not just the tens of thousands of infantry!" Obsessed with thought.

Even those who have lost their thinking power have no hope for this attack on Datang. Because the Turks don't look at more than 100,000 troops one by one, but these more than 100,000 troops are all fake and useless. They were at odds within, and neither of them was willing to sacrifice their own interests to attack the Tang Dynasty. If you lose too much, the Turks will not take pity on you, but will take advantage of the opportunity to swallow you. And the spoils of war that you have worked so hard to get will also become someone else's. This is also the law of the Turks, and none of them will be willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Turkic people is obsessed with thinking and trying to see!" The eunuch beside Li Shimin said.

"Let Shi Bufan go to the reception, since this is a plan he proposed, let him solve it himself!" Li Shimin replied.

Shi Bufan was next to him, and then watched this stubborn thinking force walk in, and he was very disdainful in his heart. This Turk must have a lot of problems within itself, and if the Turks are really able to attack, then they won't talk much nonsense at all. Because the Turks themselves did not have faith, they sent this messenger to tempt them.

Although Shi Bufan did not study professional military affairs, he knew that if countries were really confident to defeat the enemy, they would not talk nonsense at all, and they would take the initiative to attack immediately. Only when the strength is insufficient, or there is still no confidence, can there be such a thing as diplomacy when you go back.

"Obsessed with thinking, you're here!" Shi Bufan asked.

When he saw Shi Bufan's green official uniform, he immediately knew that Shi Bufan was a nine-rank official of the Tang Dynasty, and he was very angry.

"What about your emperor? Why didn't your emperor come to meet me personally, I am the envoy of the Turkic Khan, are you so snub to the envoy? My Turkic army of 200,000 is outside the city, and we can conquer your Chang'an at any time, and your emperor will be killed by our great Turks. At that time, you will not have a good outcome. Therefore, if you know each other, hurry up and ask your emperor to ask our khan to ask for guilt, otherwise once our khan gets angry, then don't blame us for letting your Chang'an blood flow like a river. Stubbornness said angrily.

Shi Bufan replied lightly; "We have a rule in the Central Plains that whoever receives an envoy from a big country will naturally send someone of honorable status to receive him. And the envoys who received the small countries only sent the least capable people to receive them. And my ability is the worst, that is, a nine-rank petty official, who has only come to receive you, a Turkic envoy, at the age of one! ”

"You ——, you are despising me Turkic!" Lost thinking and said angrily.

Shi Bufan's face changed again, and he snorted coldly: "What's wrong with me despising you?" I'm just despising you, how about it? ”

"Aren't you afraid that our Turkic army of 200,000 will bloody Chang'an?" Obsessed with thought roared.

Shi Bufan was not afraid to say: "If you Turks don't come to wash our Chang'an blood, you are a grandson, you are **** raised!" If you dare to come, we are not afraid. If you have a kind, you will come, our emperor said, if there is a kind, you will also come to attack our Chang'an, so that our Tang Dynasty will continue! Did you see that? Although the hundreds of thousands of people in our Datang are weak, they are not afraid of you Turks. When we Datang people face you invaders, we will also help our Datang soldiers to resist. I believe that my Datang has received a lot of help, and it is impossible for you Turks to conquer our Datang. If you dare to come, then we can let you have no return! ”

"You, you just wait for me, our Turks will definitely come to Chang'an to wash in blood, you wait for me!" Lost thinking and said angrily.

Stubbornly left with an angry look, but Shi Bufan was very calm, the more this guy shouted, the more weak he became. Shi Bufan is not afraid of this kind of guy, because Shi Bufan knows very well that in diplomacy, the more weak people are, the more they deliberately pretend to be arrogant. Shi Bufan is not afraid of this kind of arrogant guy, because he has not only heard it once, especially those university colleagues who study international relations, said that the more arrogant diplomats are, the more weak they are.

Only those weak people with weak hearts will threaten you so violently. On the contrary, those who are really powerful are not in a hurry at all, and they will not worry about any accidents. Because of the strength, not afraid of any challenge. If you can't do it, you won't be able to scare others, even with those powerful words.

"Your Majesty, this Turkic is already a fierce man. If they really had the ability to attack, they would have attacked a long time ago. This time, the Turks already have their own ghosts, and I am afraid that they will not easily come out as victims. So I'm sure that Jieli is just blackmailing us, and as long as we strengthen our faith and delay with them, they will all be forced to leave due to internal discord. ”

"The more this obsessive mind threatens here, the more worried I become. Because they threaten, it often means that they simply simply don't have the ability to really attack us. If they had the ability, they would have attacked us a long time ago. Therefore, we are not afraid of them, as long as we can firmly hold on to the city, they will definitely take the initiative to retreat. These Turks are not at all to worry about. However, as long as we can induce them to take advantage, they will definitely divide and disintegrate internally, so that we can have enough foundation for the Northern Expedition to the Turks in the future. ”

"I already know the death of the Turks, even if I openly provoke them, they can't do anything!"

Li Shimin said directly: "This will be handed over to you, as long as you can make the Turks withdraw and split them, you will be my great achievement." At that time, I must have a great reward. I use talents in an eclectic way, you can rest assured, I will be rewarded for my merit. As for the you have done in the past, I won't pursue it. As long as you can be loyal to me Datang in the future, then I can not blame you for the bad things in the past. After all, you are also a hero who has experienced in Xuanwumen with me, I don't trust you, who do I trust? ”

"Command!" Shi Bufan said.
