Although Li Ji did not let Jieli Khan lead the army into Taiyuan City, he still entertained Jieli Khan and his generals in his own stay-at-home mansion, wine and food, singing and dancing beauties, etc., Li Ji is more sleek, and he is much better than other generals in this regard, at least, although Jieli Khan does not look down on the Central Plains, but his face is still full of smiles.

"General Li, although Li Xin's soldiers and horses are powerful, there are not many people now, you and I might as well settle the battle as soon as possible, so as to support His Royal Highness the Prince. I heard that Li Xin led the army this time, and the troops were divided into three routes, I don't know how Li Shimin resisted? Jieli Khan asked curiously.

"Khan, don't look at Li Xin's momentum, but in fact it's just an appearance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already deployed, I and the Khan's army defeated the army led by Li Xin himself, His Royal Highness the Prince blocked Li Jing in Liyang, Liyang faced the Yellow River, Li Jing wanted to attack Liyang, he had to cross the Yellow River, with His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Jing would never cross the Yellow River, as for the east, there was General Li Xiaogong, which was enough to resist Qin Qiong, and more importantly, I heard that Li Xin almost killed the envoy of Goguryeo in Chang'an City, this guy is stupid, If you kill it, you will kill it, but let him run away, now it's okay, I heard that Goguryeo is also going to send troops to Shandong, preparing to attack Shandong from the sea, Qin Qiong's back is the enemy, I'm afraid it won't last long, even if he crosses the Yellow River and the back road is copied, can he continue to attack? Whether he can keep his army of more than 100,000 is in question. Li Ji smiled and told Li Shimin's deployment, these are not secrets.

What's more, Li Ji's current meaning also has a sense of showing off, he just wants to tell Jieli Khan that even if there is no grassland army, Li Shimin can resist the attack of Li Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Li Shimin is really powerful. It seems that the person who can compete with me for the world in the future is not Li Xin, but Li Shimin. Jieli Khan laughed, making no secret of his ambitions for the Central Plains.

"At the moment, our common enemy is Li Xin. When Li Xin is defeated, it will be the time for you and me to face off against each other. The world is so big that the Khan can take it. Li Ji also did not hide Li Zhao's hostility to the grassland.

"That's very good." Jieli Khan nodded, and said to Li Ji: "I appreciate your point of view, enemies are enemies, friends are friends, and now that you and I are joining forces, at this time, we can't calculate each other, this." You are better than your emperor. ”

"How can Li Ji and He De be compared with Your Majesty, don't say anything about Khan." Li Ji's face changed, and he hurriedly said, but he saw Jieli Khan laughing.

"I don't know what Li Xin is doing now? It can't be that he ran away! We have a total of more than 200,000 people, and Li Xin is only a hundred thousand, and he will not be scared away when he sees our elite division! Qi Bi He Li suppressed the anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and break Li Xin's body into ten thousand pieces. He couldn't forget Ashina Simo's figure, if it weren't for him, I am afraid that he would have become Li Xin's captive.

"Let's see, what is Li Xin doing? Are you ready to run away? "Li Jiyu is on the rise. After listening to it, he also laughed out loud and said to the soldiers around him.

"Yes." The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tang army.

"Faced with this situation. It may be a bit difficult for Li Xin to beat us in a short period of time. Li Ji looked at the people in the hall, these Turks looked extremely brave, but can the battle be decided by bravery? Then Li Xin, Li Xuanba and the like have long dominated the world. These Turks are destined to be the chess pieces in his hands, to resist Li Xin's army for him, and he can also preserve his strength as much as possible, who makes the other party cavalry?

"That's nature, we are here this time to let Li Xin see the real grassland iron horse." Jieli Khan said proudly: "Come, everyone, drink!" Jieli Khan obviously regarded himself as the master of Taiyuan, and shouted loudly with a wine bottle in his hand.

"Khan wins." He Li and the others also cheered loudly, and there was an uproar in the hall. Li Ji's face was gloomy, but he quickly returned to normal and beckoned everyone to drink.

"General, Li Xin's men are digging a ditch." At this time, the pro-soldiers outside broke in

came in and said loudly: "Tens of thousands of soldiers are digging a pit in the south of the city, stretching for nearly ten miles, and the momentum is huge, and I don't know what they are doing?" ”

"Digging a ditch?" There was silence in the hall, and finally the Turks burst out laughing, and he couldn't help but say, "Does he think that a trench can stop our great Turkic iron horse?" ”

"How brave Li Xin was in the past, it seems that it is nothing more than that, it seems that after he became the emperor, is he less courageous?" Jieli Khan also burst out laughing.

"No, Li Xin will definitely not do useless work, he is not a cowardly person, otherwise, he would not use more than a thousand cavalry against the Khan's army of more than 100,000." Li Ji shook his head with a solemn face and said.

"What can you do by digging a few ditches? Can you stop our soldiers and horses? Ten miles away? How long does it take to dig a ditch? Jieli Khan said unconcernedly.

"It's not that simple." Li Ji stood up, asked the soldiers around him to take the topographic map around Taiyuan, unfolded it on several cases, pointed to the south of the city and said: "Khan, look here, this is the south of Taiyuan City, there are a few lakes in the south of the city, Li Xin put the soldiers and horses behind the lake, not only is there no lack of water sources, but more importantly, if these lakes are connected with ditches, they can form a preliminary defense line against the Turkic cavalry, and more than 100,000 people dig ditches together, I am afraid that results can be achieved in a short time." One ditch is probably fine, but how many ditches are put together? That's going to be a big problem. ”

"Hmph, Li Xin is here to attack Taiyuan, not to defend it, digging a ditch, hehe, Li Xin's mind is definitely not like this." Jieli Khan looked into the distance, but saw that the sun had already set, and it was impossible to attack Li Xin at this time.

"Khan, Li Xin is treacherous, be careful that he attacks the camp at night." Li Ji reminded seriously.

"As for him, I'm just waiting for him to come and attack us, so that they can meet my Turkic army for a few years, and all of them are already elite soldiers, not just kneaded by Li Xin." Jieli Khan smashed the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and viciously greeted Qibi He Li and other generals and said: "Let's go, let's go back to the camp, and wait for Li Xin to attack our camp." ”

"Let's go, let's see." Jieli Khan is gone, but Li Ji still decided to go and see for himself, he thinks that Li Xin will not simply dig a ditch, this is not Li Xin's personality, he will just take the initiative to attack, not passive defense. So there must be a conspiracy behind this.

Although the sun had set, Xu Shiji still led hundreds of cavalry to go around in the south of the city, and then returned to the left-behind mansion without saying a word, standing quietly in his study, hanging in front of him was a map around Taiyuan, which recorded the mountains and rivers around Taiyuan, which was more detailed than what he had seen with Jieli Khan just now.

"Li Xin played a big game of chess, but why did he leave such a large area of open space?" Li Ji marked a circle on the map, and the black lines connected several lakes together, but directly opposite the big camp, about a stone's throw away, there was still a blank space, only two or three mounds of earth were piled up in front of the big camp, and he didn't know what he was doing, which made Li Ji look very curious.

"What is this trying to do? Was it to contain the cavalry of the Turks? Unexpectedly, a few trenches could contain the forcible attack of the Turks, and Li Xin was really a not simple character. Li Ji saw clearly, a stone's throw away, although it was relatively far, but compared to the cavalry of more than 100,000 Turks, such a place was still a little less, and a large-scale charge was basically impossible, at least it cut off the possibility of the Turks forcibly attacking Li Xin's camp.

In the dark night, Li Ji has fallen asleep in the study, these days he is under a lot of pressure, Li Xin's army is coming, so he doesn't know how to be good, now it's okay, the Turks are coming, Jieli Khan led more than 100,000 people to overwhelm the world, with these cavalry, at least Li Xin can't take any advantage in the field battle, as long as his time drags on longer, the situation in Shandong has been resolved, Li Jing faced the attack of Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, absolutely can only withdraw the army. That's why Li Ji slept with peace of mind.

"Boom, boom." A loud bang sounded, waking Li Ji up from his sleep, he quickly stood up, put on his armor and ran out, and asked loudly as he ran: "What happened?" But Li Xin is besieging the city? ”

"General, Li Xin is attacking the Turkic battalion." At this time, there were war horses galloping on the street, and it was obvious that the captain guarding the city had discovered that something was wrong outside the city, and hurriedly rushed to report.

"It really made Jieli Khan guess." Li Ji's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly thought of something, but his face changed, he twitched his war horse, and said to the guards beside him: "Go, Taiyuan City invites General You Junda to come." I'm afraid things are going wrong. He thought of the loud explosion he had just heard, and I was afraid it wasn't that simple.

After he went up the city wall, he found that in the Turkic camp in the distance, the flames were soaring into the sky, and bursts of explosions came, as if the sky was thundering down on the world, and the screams of the chaotic army were repeated, and the neighing, roaring, and screaming of the war horses were endless, and what could be seen by the naked eye was that the Turkic camp was in chaos.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The fires in the distance were filled up, and Li Ji saw the firelights rushing out in the distance and falling into the Turkic camp, and there was a huge roar in the Turkic camp.

"This, this is the thunderbolt?" Li Ji suddenly realized. (To be continued.) )
