Chapter 64: Soldiers Descend on the City (Part I)

In the next few days, Li Junxian wanted to talk to Miss Dugu about the idea of a bank, because he also really wanted to open a bank with the function of a bank, after all, this would not only make money, but also help the people. But Miss Dugu didn't want to see him, which made Li Junxian very depressed. However, within a few days, Li Junxian did not have time to be depressed, because the Turks had already begun to attack. Li Shimin ended Li Junxian's vacation and asked him to help discuss the enemy.

"Jun Xian, are you here? The Turks have already begun to attack, and they are about to attack Chang'an! Shall we send troops to intercept them? Li Shimin asked anxiously.

Li Junxian smiled a little helplessly and said, "Is it useful for us to intercept them?" If we send a small number of troops to meet the battle, I am afraid that they will eat it directly. If we send cavalry to meet us, I'm afraid they won't pay attention to us at all! They probably won't be fighting our cavalry again, so we're still on the defensive. According to our previous approach, it was actually mainly defensive. ”

"Hey, I really want to go into the steppe and destroy the Turks, I want to let that Jieli dance for me!" Li Shimin suddenly said a little ruthlessly.

Li Junxian knew that Li Shimin was actually a person who cherished feathers very much, and in the original history, Li Shimin was angry and tried to perish because he left the shame of Weishui. In fact, through Li Junxian's understanding during this period of time, what really stimulated Li Shimin's anger and strength was not for the country, but actually for a thing called face. Li Shimin could not tolerate a person who allowed himself to exchange his wealth for peace to live and enjoy happiness in the steppe, so he wanted to destroy the Turks.

"Your Majesty, I believe that there will always be such a day!" Li Junxian also comforted.

And not long after, the Turks came to the city of Chang'an, and they had the idea of preparing to attack Chang'an City. And the Turks stopped a thousand meters away from the city of Chang'an, because there were rejection horses hundreds of meters in front of them. Horse rejection is a defensive weapon designed to stop cavalry, which can make the charging horse stop, otherwise the horse will be stabbed to death. And only a cavalryman with a good horsemanship was able to drive a war horse to leap and resist the horse.

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come out and answer! Our Khan has asked you to meet between the two armies on the banks of the Weishui River! Twenty guards each will do. "A Turk shouted with a trumpet-shaped thing.

Li Junxian saw this thing on the tower of Chang'an City, and he had to say that the ancients were so clever that they actually made a loudspeaker to amplify their voice. Although the distance is about a kilometer now, under the influence of this loudspeaker and the Turkic people's naturally loud voice, their voices can be heard in Chang'an City a kilometer away.

Li Shimin just wanted to go, but was stopped by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

"Your Majesty, no! The Turks have no faith, and if Your Majesty goes, they will inevitably deceive! Your Majesty, you are the son of a daughter, you can't sit still, or don't take risks. As one of the leaders of the civil officials, Fang Xuanling immediately persuaded.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, I still have to go!" At present, our Datang army is empty, and less than 80,000 foot soldiers have to face more than 100,000 Turks, and the pressure is too great. Although Jun Xian had already annihilated 40,000, it was also when the Turks were unprepared. And now, I'm afraid that the Turks are very guarded against Jun Xian! Therefore, Jun Xian's cavalry will not be of much use. Combat still needs to rely on foot soldiers. But it's hard for the foot soldiers to face the cavalry! So this risk had to be taken, and if the Turks could be persuaded to retreat, it would be great. ”

Du Ruhui also said: "Your Majesty, if the Turks are willing to withdraw their troops, then we are willing to give all the treasures of the treasury to the Turks, so that in exchange for the Turks to withdraw their troops, it may be possible!" ”

"Boom!" Everyone present was amazed.

Du Ruhui's idea is obviously to let everyone spend money to buy peace! Whether it is ancient or modern, it is a very shameful thing to spend money to buy peace with the enemy. Even the princess of the Han Dynasty had to send a kiss, which was even more of a shame. After the Han Dynasty, there were very few such things as harmony, because at that time the Han people were already a lot stronger, and the grassland peoples also declined. At that time, the harmony was actually a kind of use of meat and bones to send the grassland people. For example, Wang Zhaojun said that he was a princess, but in fact, he was just a palace maid who sent those Huns who took refuge.

But now Du Ruhui is asking everyone to spend money to buy peace, which makes it unacceptable to everyone. Especially military generals, as military generals have the dignity of military generals, it is difficult to accept such a thing as spending money to buy peace. When the Han Dynasty was in harmony, those generals felt embarrassed enough, and finally they were willing to follow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight the Huns.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" "Your Majesty, if so, where do you put the status of our soldiers?" "Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, please ask Your Majesty to pull down this old thing Du Ruhui and cut it down!" ……

In short, these generals are just not convinced, and they are not willing to fight without a single battle, so they will spend money to buy peace.

"Jun Xian, what do you think? You didn't say anything just now, and I want to know what you think. Li Shimin turned his head and asked Li Junxian.

If Li Junxian is still the original Li Junxian, I am afraid that he will also join the generals, and he does not approve of spending money to buy peace. But now, Li Junxian is a researcher of later history, and his political thinking far exceeds military thinking, so he did not join the military generals' side and opposed the use of money to buy peace.

And Li Junxian also knows that this negotiation is almost inevitable, and this negotiation is actually a shame in history. History records that Li Shimin denounced Jieli on the bridge of Weishui, and put on a look of being willing to fight, and then said that he was willing to take out the money from the treasury and give it to the Turks, as long as the Turks retreated, he would give them the property this time. At that time, Jieli was shocked by Li Shimin's suspicious soldiers, and he did not have absolute confidence that he could break through Chang'an City, so he chose to return to the Turks with his belongings.

No one knows the real history, but now that the shame of Weishui is about to be carried out, there is no need for Li Junxian to stop it. Because this negotiation has been mostly successful, this is the experience of history. But Li Junxian didn't expect that because of his arrival, there were many surprises added to this negotiation.

"Your Majesty, although the minister has great confidence in the infantry trained according to the minister's training method, this time you can also talk to the Turks! If you can surrender without a fight, then of course it is even better! Li Junxian said.

"What?" Those generals all looked at Li Junxian in shock.
