Chapter 206: The Turks Withdraw Their Troops

Soon, the leaders of the Turkic tribes were invited into the camp by the Turks and Qibiheli.

In the tent, Qi Bi He Li said: "Leaders, I just got the information that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin did not let the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Jing, the general of the Tang Auxiliary State in Youzhou, return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and have defended it, but issued an edict to let Li Jing attack our Great Turkic Khanate and attack the tent of our Great Turkic Khanate located in Dingxiang. The information is absolutely true and reliable, all the leaders, let's discuss what to do, right? ”

"What to do? Of course, the troops should be withdrawn back to the grassland immediately, otherwise what else could they do? Can you still stay here and die with the Tang Emperor Li Shimin? Don't forget, the leaders, this time we are going south, and the grasslands are full of old and weak women and children from their respective tribes, and they don't have much ability to resist? A Turkic leader shouted anxiously.

Immediately afterwards, several more Turkic leaders responded positively, strongly demanding the immediate withdrawal of troops and the return of the steppe, which had been defended.

Tuli, Qibi Heli and other chiefs all looked at these leaders, they understood the mood of these leaders very well, their territories were all bordering the Tang Dynasty, and once Li Jing attacked the Great Turkic Khanate, he would inevitably pass through their territory. Those territories are their foundations, the women, children and children on the territory, that is the hope of their tribe. They are now burning, killing, looting, and wreaking havoc everywhere in the land of the Tang Dynasty, can they believe that the Tang army led by Li Jing will pass through their territory without any crimes? Hearing that Li Jing was about to attack the Great Turkic Khanate from Youzhou, the mood of several of them to withdraw their troops and return must have been the most urgent.

The leaders of the other tribes were not in a hurry, after all, their territory was not in the place where Li Jing's army passed, so they naturally wanted to wait a little longer near Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to see if they could extort some more wealth from the hands of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Several Turkic leaders bordering Youzhou bowed to Tuli and Qibi He Li and said, "Second Khan, General Qibi He Li, please allow us to retreat first, and we will go to Jieli Khan now to ask him to allow us to withdraw our troops." Women and children in the land and tribes. It's so important to us, it's the foundation of our tribe, and we're not going to give it up no matter what. Whether Jieli Khan agrees or not, we will immediately return to the steppe and be prepared. If, unfortunately, Li Jing passes through our territory, our territory is lost, and women, children, and children are plundered away, then we will use our warriors to grab the territory of other leaders. Women and children, this involves the rise and fall of our tribe, and we will never be merciful. ”

As soon as the voices of a few people fell, the faces of the other tribal leaders changed, this time it was the army of the country that went south, whose territory was not warriors, but they were all old and weak, women and children? The army commanded by Li Jing did not pass through their territory, but the territory bordered Youzhou and the territory of these leaders. but next to them. The territory, the women, children and children on the territory are the foundation and hope of all tribes, who dares to let others rob it? So, they reprimanded several leaders in unison for the territory bordering Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty and said: "Li Jing led the Tang army to invade your territory. I have taken the women, children, and children of your tribe captive, and you are looking for Li Jing to go, what are you doing encroaching on our territory? It's unreasonable. ”

Several leaders of the territory bordering Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty said: "What you said lightly, ask Li Jing for it." Just rely on our tribes to find trouble with the hundreds of thousands of elite troops led by Li Jing, that is, to send them to death. Are we not so stupid? Either way, if our territory suffers, we're going to rob you. ”

The two sides are arguing and arguing.

Tuli stood up and said loudly, "Don't fight!" ”

All the Turkic chieftains were silenced and did not dare to speak again.

Tuli smiled and looked at the Turkic leaders, and he was still very satisfied with his prestige. He said: "Now we have only two roads: one is to accept the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, persuade Jieli Khan to withdraw his troops, and negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty; The second way is to ignore the things on the grassland, and fight with Datang in Chang'an City. ”

The several tribes bordering the Tang Dynasty also know very well in their hearts: if only these tribes withdraw their troops and return to the grassland, they will never be able to resist the attack of the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Jing, and they will not be able to protect their own territory, at most they will protect the women, children and children of the tribe. If you want to resist the attack of the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Jing, then the only way is to return and defend together, as Tuli said.

The leaders of all the tribes figured it out: this invasion of Datang was for the wealth in the treasury of Datang, but now Datang has taken it out and handed it over to them. Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has no value, it can neither graze nor hunt, what is the use? It can only satisfy the hope of Jieli Khan alone. Let them give up the grassland and fight with Datang in this Chang'an City, it is absolutely impossible.

So all of them chose the first path that Tuli said: accept the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, persuade Jieli Khan to withdraw his troops together, and negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty.

The camp of Jieli Khan, Tuli and Qibi He Li led the leaders of various tribes to enter.

Jieli Khan sat upright on the tiger skin chair and asked with a gloomy face, "Why do you ask to see Ben Khan together?" ”

Tuli and Qibi He Li stood up and said: "I just got the news that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin has ordered the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Jing of Youzhou to attack the grassland, and the ministers and others hope that the Great Khan can accept the conditions of the Tang Dynasty, negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, and withdraw the troops for the sake of my Great Turkic Khanate. ”

The leaders of the Turkic tribes also stood up one after another and echoed: "Please make peace with the Great Khan and the Tang Dynasty and withdraw the troops!" ”

Jieli Khan looked at the leaders of the tribes in the camp with the same attitude, and said helplessly: "Since you all think that we should withdraw our troops, then we will negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty and prepare to withdraw our troops!" ”

When the news of the discussion and withdrawal of troops came out of the big tent, the entire Wugong County was suddenly boiling, and all the Turkic soldiers were singing and dancing, all of them were frantically celebrating this exciting news.

Tang Jian, who was in Wugong County, looked at the reveling Turkic soldiers, he burst into tears, and he knew in his heart that Jieli's plan to attack Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, had failed, and the Tang Dynasty had changed the already doomed tragic ending through collective wisdom and martial arts under extremely unfavorable circumstances. They succeeded, Jieli's army of more than 300,000 faced Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which was guarded by only more than 10,000 Tang soldiers, and chose to withdraw the troops.
