Chapter 527: This Is What I Mean

The thirteenth year of the Great Cause and the New Year are boring to the extreme for the soldiers gathered in Niangzi Pass, except for the two days of better food, there is no fun, because of the heavy snow, the soldiers basically do not even go out, except for the necessary patrol tasks, almost everyone sleeps in the tent.

The first month of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause was also lackluster for them, the defeated Turks had sworn allegiance to Ashina Duoduo, the short-lived Chuluo Khan Ashina Eliver died when he had to go to see Ashina Duoduo, and when more than 100,000 wolf horsemen under his command were attacking Niangzi Pass with all their might, a messenger from the Turkic royal court came to his camp and announced that the royal court had been captured by the army of the Holy Maiden, and that the Chuluo Khan without the blessing of the great shaman was invalid and illegal, Because he had not listened to the parables of the immortal heavens at the altar of the royal court, nor had he drunk the blood wine mixed with the blood of the great shaman and the blood of the silver wolf, then the throne he inherited from Ashina Jishi was a false one, and the Turkic court would not recognize it.

This is something that has never happened before, this is the most insulting provocation to the throne of the Khan, Ashina Eliver was furious but helpless, the holy woman Ashina Duoduo with 100,000 wolf riders stationed in Mayi County, these 100,000 wolf riders are Ashina Elivo's life-saving straw, if there is no her, the men and horses under his command who have been cut off from food and grass are afraid that they will be defeated if they can't wait to break through the Niangzi Pass.

Therefore, he decided to negotiate with Ashina Duoduo in person.

And in order to put pressure on him, and in order to show that there is no coveting of the Central Plains this time, but also to show sincerity to the people from all walks of life gathered here, she sent someone to Li Jiancheng, the son of the Tang Dynasty, to send a generous gift, this gift is very special, not gold and silver, nor treasures, not to mention the high-quality war horses abundant in the grassland, but more than 300 bloody human heads.

Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang, was defeated in Taiyuan and was chased and killed by Li Shimin. When he learned that a wolf cavalry of more than 100,000 people appeared in Mayi County, he did not hesitate to take the remnants of the army to defect. He was greeted not by the hospitable Turkic mare's milk wine and finger meat, but by a sharp scimitar.

He thought that the Turks were all Lao Tzu, who would have thought that it was his stepfather who came this time.

Only after entering the camp of the Turks, less than 3,000 remnants of the soldiers under his command were disarmed, and he didn't even see Ashina Duoduo, he was pushed out by the wolf-like Turks and cut off his head, and more than 300 generals under his command were buried for him, all of which became gifts to Li Jiancheng without exception.

More than 300 heads were in Li Jiancheng's hands, and he suddenly realized, and hurriedly dispatched men and horses to block the 100,000 wolf horsemen in the Niangzi Pass, he was really afraid that Ashina Duoduo would lead troops into the pass, in that case, once the two Turkic teams converged, the good situation would be reversed in an instant.

But at this time, I don't know what way, the Turkic saintess Ashina Duoduo quietly arrived at Niangzi Pass, and then sent people to the Turkic camp outside the city to invite Ashina Erivo to enter the city to negotiate, and Ashina Elevivo, who was forced to a dead end, entered the city in desperation to negotiate with Ashina Duoduo, in his opinion, after all, it is the same Turkic royal family, and Ashina Duoduo is at most forcing him to give way. But who would have thought that Ashina Duoduo wanted not only the golden crown on his head, but also the head he used to wear the golden crown.

Like Liu Wuzhou, Ashina Elivo didn't see Ashina Duoduo at all after entering the Niangzi Pass, and the soldiers who followed him were shot to death by random arrows as soon as they entered the city, and Ashina Elivo, who was hit by an arrow in the thigh, was captured alive, and then pressed the city wall and cut off his head in public, followed by Ashina Duoduo sent people out of the city to the Turkic camp to announce the will of immortality. I have to say that this time it was Yan Yunjing who started it, and Ashina Duoduo just watched what happened, and did not stop or object.

The messenger Ashina Elivo's people said that the great shaman got the revelation of Immortal Heaven, and the reason why the Turks would be defeated when they went south was because Shibi Khan violated the will of Immortal Heaven, and the Khan position should be passed to Ashina Association Rate instead of Ashina Elivo, so Immortal Heaven will send punishment, and now the Holy Maiden and the Great Shaman have obtained the permission of Immortal Heaven to kill Ashina Ellivo and let Ashina Associate Inherit the Khan throne, and before Ashina Association Rate reaches the age of fifteen, the Holy Maiden will be in charge of the grassland.

This is an internal matter of the Ashina family, the more than 100,000 Turkic wolves who are besieged in Niangzi Pass do not matter who inherits the Khan, they just want to live, so no one objected. In this way, all the calculations of the Li family were in vain, and instead of consuming Li Xian's five thousand elite horses in the defense of the city as expected, they did not dare to make any more moves because of Li Xian's powerful allies who suddenly appeared.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, after the snow stopped, Ashina Duoduo reached an agreement with Li Jiancheng on behalf of the Turkic royal court, Ashina Duoduo guaranteed that the Turks would never go south again, and the Li family opened the siege and let 100,000 wolf riders return to the grassland.

This ending was beyond everyone's expectations, of course, this does not include Li Xian and Ashina Duoduo.

……

……

In Li Jiancheng's big tent, Qu Tutong roared angrily in a low voice: "The grassland barbarians are all wolves!" Their promises and guarantees are not credible, Your Highness, you must not just release those 100,000 wolf cubs back to the grassland, it would be a great disaster to keep them! ”

Liu Wenjing sighed and said, "General Qu Tu, do you think there is still room for redemption when things come to this point?" ”

He stood up, walked to the side of the map, pointed to Mayi County, and said: "The Prairie Saintess still has more than 100,000 troops outside Mayi County, and it is not difficult to break through our encirclement and rescue the wolf riders in the Niangzi Pass, and besides, Li Xian obviously has an alliance with the Saint Maiden, and now the Niangzi is in his hands and control, if he opens the gate and lets the Turks out, can we stop it?" Even if we do our best to fight the Turks to the death, even if we kill more than 200,000 Turks, how many people will be left in our army? Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and Xue Ju are all ready to move, let's fight all our troops here with the Turks, what else can we rely on to complete the great cause of the lord? ”

"But ......"

Qu Tutong was still resentful and said: "I am really unwilling to let such a great opportunity go like this!" ”

"Why are you unwilling?"

Li Jiancheng stood up and walked to the door, looked at the vast sky and said: "Everyone knows that the grassland barbarians can't stay, but the current situation doesn't allow us to fight to the death recklessly." ”

He glanced back at Qu Tutong and said: "The messenger sent by my father arrived the night before yesterday, Xue raised 150,000 troops to threaten Chang'an, if we don't lead the army back, Chang'an is in danger." If you stay and fight to the death with the Turks, what if you can annihilate them all? After losing the Central Plains, let's kill all the Turks and make wedding dresses for others? ”

Qu Tutong sighed and stopped talking.

"My father's order was to take Shimin as the general manager of the expedition to the west, Liu Hongji as the vanguard, and lead 100,000 troops to meet Xue Ju. I will lead the army back to Chang'an, and first stabilize Chang'an, and then talk about other things. ”

The generals hugged their fists and took the order, and Li Jiancheng sighed: "You are all the ministers of my Li family's humerus, and everything should be based on the Li family." Killing all foreign enemies is such a thing, but all bloody men want to do it, but the family is unstable, how to resist foreign enemies? ”

"Then what to do with Li Xian in Yanyun Village?"

Qu Tutong thought for a while and asked.

"Disposition?"

Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "This word is extremely bad, An Zhi is an ally of my Li family, and he led troops thousands of miles away to support Taiyuan, and I want to thank him well, how can I deal with it?" General Qu Tu, don't say such things casually in the future, it will affect the alliance between the Li family and Yanyunzhai, which is very bad. ”

Qu Tutong suddenly found that he was really an idiot, why didn't he see the situation clearly until now?

The Li family was originally going to form an alliance with Li Xian, the king of Yan, but there was a chance to kill Li Xian's most elite men and horses, and this kind of thing naturally could not be let go, if the tens of thousands of horses brought by Li Xian were all dead, and then Li Xian was taken hostage, then the 100,000 army of Yanyunzhai was at your fingertips, and no one would refuse with such a large force. But now Li Xian's men and horses are still there, and Ashina Duoduo is still his ally, so the fool will mention the matter against Li Xian again.

Everyone knows this matter, but no one will be stupid to mention it again, and today...... He found out that he was the stupid man.

"Someone Coming"

Li Jiancheng beckoned and said, "Go and invite the people of the world, I will tell him my father's order." Other than that...... I went to invite King Yan, I heard that he was going back to Dongping County, and I wanted to set up a banquet for him. ”

……

……

In any case, Li Xian, who had just finished calculating, immediately showed a close ally posture, this kind of thing seems extremely hypocritical, but for the people of the family, this is by no means an unacceptable thing, on the contrary, this kind of thing is usually like flowers blooming in spring and snow falling in winter, it is a very natural thing.

Li Xian looked at the invitation card with gold letters in his hand and smiled, and told the person sent by Li Jiancheng that he would arrive, and then he didn't bring his entourage, and went to Li Huining's residence in Niangziguan alone. The guards outside the door recognized him, and when they went in, they called him in and invited him in.

When Li Xian walked into Li Huining's room, she was sitting on a chair and reading a book quietly. Li Xian didn't get up to greet her when she entered the door, nor did she raise her head to speak, she seemed to be unfriendly and polite, but Li Xian didn't care at all. He knew what kind of temperament Li Huining was, so he just smiled and walked to the chair and sat down.

He didn't speak, just sat quietly. After sitting like this for half an hour, Li Huining frowned slightly and put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Li Xian and said in a somewhat cold tone: "You still owe me an explanation." ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "Isn't this coming?" ”

"You say"

Li Huining rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, looking a little lazy.

"The steppe people can't kill them all."

Li Xian said.

"Killing one more is one."

Li Huining replied.

"Now is not the time to fight to the death with the steppe people."

"Is it that you can't, or can't my Li family?"

"I can't, and your Li family can't."

"Good...... What's going on with that Ashina Duoduo, why did you make an alliance with the steppe people?! ”

When this sentence was asked, Li Huining's tone became a little heavier. She sat up straight, her chest heaving slightly, and it seemed that her heart was by no means as calm as it seemed.

"She's not my ally."

Li Xian thought for a while and replied, "I am not allowed to ask for any covenant between me and her. ”

Li Xian stood up and walked to the window and stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a flat tone: "It is my intention that she led the army to capture the Turkic royal court, it is my intention that she came to kill Ashina Elivo, and it is also my intention to raise that little child Ashina to form an association and become a Turkic khan, and the reason why the Turks went south is also my meaning, and the reason why this war can be fought is my meaning." ”

He turned his head to look at Li Huining and said softly, "Maybe you don't know, I still have an identity...... The people of the steppe call me the Black Knife Khan. ”
