Chapter 55: It's Decided and Can't Change
Jieli Khan has been squeezing Tuli Khan for most of his life, and today's performance has made Tuli Khan unable to figure out what he thinks. was going to make a big fuss, but Bai was ready to have a belly of lines.
"Great Khan, you are afraid that you have aroused the suspicion of the Tuli Khan." Zhao Deyan reminded.
"There are not many days left, the big picture is decided." Jieli Khan didn't take what Zhao Deyan said seriously. He was very confident in his plan, and he firmly believed that the entire Turk would be completely in his hands in the near future. There are no more clowns jumping out of the beam to get in the way of their eyes.
Wang Xiaohu, who had been pretending to be a henchman next to Tuli Khan, quietly touched into the tent.
"Can't you be a little quiet? I was almost scared to death by you in the middle of the night. "The sword in the hand of the Turki Khan is unsheathed.
Wang Xiaohu suppressed his temper and said: "Didn't you say it all during the day, see you at this time!" You slept soundly. ”
"Shit, if you really sleep, can I hear your slightest movement? Not a good night's sleep. "The Turki Khan is very angry.
"The news from the King of Jin, let me ask you if this Jieli Khan has any plans to withdraw from the army." Wang Xiaohu didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he hurriedly asked and left. This is the last mission of his lurking in the Turkic camp, and he will disappear as soon as he finishes it. Living in such a panic all day long, let alone sleeping well, he doesn't dare to sleep more.
Tuli Khan laughed and said, "Withdraw troops? The old guy not only did not want to withdraw his troops, but kept calling in the troops and horses in the Turkic rear to come and support. Who told his mother's son to die, and many small tribes that were not involved in it also came. ”
"Come on, you go back to sleep, I'll go first." Wang Xiaohu said, wanting to leave.
"Wait, when will your King Jin arrive? What is he going to do?" Tuli Khan asked.
Wang Xiaohu said directly without thinking about it: "My King of Jin reassures you that he will definitely leave Jieli Khan in the land of Datang for a long time."
Nonsense! The king of Jin instructed that he must be improvisable in front of the Tuli Khan and pick what he likes to hear. It doesn't matter if you are full of truth, as long as the Turki Khan himself believes it.
"Okay, go back and tell your family King Jin. As long as he does the old guy Jieli, the Turks will not invade the Tang Dynasty again, even if it is an inch of land. Tuli Khan thought to himself, he didn't have to be responsible for speaking, he had to envelop Li Chengzong first.
Wang Xiaohu smiled and left, out of the tent to look around, around, and then the whole person was completely hidden in the darkness at some point.
The army of Li Chengzong, the king of Jin, is still on the road, and he can't see the head in front of him, and he can't forget the end in the back.
Li Chengzong swayed on the chariot and swayed with the car, and Li Chengzong didn't think about anything else on the day of his hurry, just thinking about when the news would come that Li Shimin died in battle. But Li Shimin just didn't give him face, and he couldn't die.
"King Jin, a letter from Chang'an He Niangzi." Wang Hu rode to Li Chengzong's chariot and handed the letter to Li Chengzong.
Li Chengzong hurriedly opened it, and the letter read: "Luoyang Wei Chi Jingde led an army of 50,000 to support the King of Qin, and he set off two days ago."
"Order the whole army to stop advancing, and call Li Jing to me immediately." Li Chengzong commanded.
When Wang Hu heard that Li Chengzong's tone was wrong, he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Li Jing came, with the same doubts on his face as Wang Hu.
"King Jin, is something big happening?" Li Jing asked first.
"How far are we from the place where the King of Qin and the Turks are at war?" Li Chengzong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
Li Jing hurriedly said: "At this rate, there are still five hours before you can see them."
"This king sees a village in front of him, do you know what kind of place it is?"
"The spies went to see it, and it was a big village, but it was looted by the Turks. In addition to the dead bodies all over the ground, there are also some names of villages that have survived. Li Jing has to ask questions about everything, and naturally answers them fluently.
Li Chengzong said in a deep voice: "If you don't leave, you will set up camp in that village."
"What the hell is going on?" Li Jing wanted to ask, but after all, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. King Jin is not a person with no purpose, and there is always a reason for doing so. There are too many questions, and it is annoying.
As soon as I entered the village, a large stench lingered.
"Hurry up, ask someone to carry all the corpses to one place and burn them, they must be burned clean." Li Chengzong pointed to Su Dingfang and commanded.
"Yes, King Jin." Su Dingfang turned his head, and the boss was reluctant.
There were twenty or thirty people, kneeling on the side, I don't know if I was scared, or hungry and had no strength at all, and it was very quiet.
Li Chengzong called Sun Simiao, the soldier of the army, and instructed: "Show them, all of them have a sickly face with yellow muscles and thin muscles." Then let them change their clothes and get them something to eat. ”
Sun Simiao said: "King Jin is benevolent."
"Don't say that, who is the score of benevolence or not, they are my Tang people, and it is right to be good to them." Li Chengzong said that the man had already raised his legs and entered the courtyard of a rich man's house. The yard is not big, but it can accommodate a dozen people.
Wei Zheng said: "I don't know why the King of Jin stopped the army?"
"Wei Chi Jingde has already set off from Luoyang and is heading straight here." Li Chengzong said.
Cheng Yanjin said: "It must be here to aid King Qin, it doesn't conflict with us!"
"I don't know if I don't conflict, but isn't it a little too wrong at this time? If you don't come sooner or later, he won't think of helping King Qin until we're almost there?"
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't guess the reason for a while.
However, Fang Xuanling said: "I also said before, maybe the King of Qin was afraid that the King of Jin would take the opportunity to occupy Luoyang, so he asked Yu Chi Jingde to wait for the King of Jin to lead the army here before setting off to prevent the King of Jin?"
"Guarding against me? It's a possibility. But in addition to the king's coveting of Luoyang, the emperor's grandfather is thinking about it, right? He transferred all the troops away, what if the emperor's grandfather was tempted? The sixty or seventy thousand people in Chang'an City are not decorations!"
Fang Xuanling said: "Even if Your Majesty has that strength, he doesn't have that mind right now. What's the use of him taking Luoyang? The strength of Chang'an City to defend the city is enough, but if it is to defend two heavy cities, I am afraid that it will be overstretched. When the time comes, you can't keep it, so it's better not to. ”
Li Jing said: "Does King Jin think there is another deep meaning in this?"
Li Chengzong thought for a while and said, "No matter what, I'll wait first." Anyway, it's not too far from the battlefield, so let's stay here. One purpose, Li Shimin will not die or escape, and we will not move. ”
"How do you explain this to the court?" Ma Zhoudao.
"Confess? If you don't know how to explain, you won't explain, it's too simple. Li Chengzong said with a smile.
Everyone wanted to persuade them, but no one said anything. It's not that you're timid, it's that you know it's useless.
The king of Jin in front of him is not an ordinary person, he went to Luoyang at the age of eleven to fight and said that he would surrender to Wang Shichong, and Hebei defeated Liu Heimin. How many years have passed, and the elite soldiers under his command have gathered, holding an army of 100,000 in his hands, holding the power of life and death.
There are so many extraordinary people in a courtyard, who dares to say that they are not sincere and convincing King Jin? Who has the confidence to say that King Jin's decision is wrong?
Wait, the things set by King Jin can't be changed.
