Soon, Ashnasimo led the remnants of his army to join Tuli.

Knowing that the Turkic god of war and Jiabitler (Turkic military commander) Ashina Simo came to vote, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict to recruit Ashina Simo to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. After a meeting, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was even more fond of Ashina Simo, a famous general of the grassland, and immediately crowned Ashina Simo as the king of Huaihua County, the general of the Right Wuhou, and the governor of Huazhou, and gave Ashina Simo the surname "Li".

When leaving the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin personally held Ashina Simo's hand, sent him out of the Taiji Palace, and said to Ashina Simo: "General Li Simo, before Jieli Khan was defeated by me, he was strong and strong, and repeatedly robbed my Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty was killed by him countless, I sent troops to defeat him, and now all the tribes of the grassland are attached to me, I forgive their old mistakes, reward them for their good deeds, and grant them official titles, treat them like the people of my Central Plains." The etiquette of the Central Plains did not want to destroy other people's countries, because Jieli Khan was brutal, so he crusaded and attacked him, not really coveted his land and population. Now, our Tang army has completely withdrawn from the grassland, and the grassland has been handed over to you Turks themselves, and you Turks will manage their own land and people. You are all people who hold the official position of my Datang, I will also treat you as an official of my Datang, and I will put my heart into you, if you have any difficulties and requirements, you will come to me and tell me, I will solve it for you? ”

Ashina Simo nodded again and again.

After leaving the Taiji Palace, just after taking two steps, Ashina Simo suddenly turned to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for, I hope Your Majesty can agree." ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" General Ashnasmo, please. ”

Ashina Simo said with a little embarrassment: "The minister wants to see the old master." ”

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, helped Ashina Simo and said: "The general is loyal and righteous, and he always has the heart of not forgetting the old master. How could I not allow it? I am invited by Brigadier General. ”

Ashina Simo was moved to tears. shouted long live, and said: "When the old lord of the minister was in power, my Turks invaded the Central Plains year after year, and the people of the Central Plains who were killed every year amounted to tens of thousands. We all thought that His Majesty would inevitably take us as slaves and make us pay for our past sins. The minister did not expect that His Majesty would have such a broad mind and treat me, the general of the defeated army, so bently. The descendants of the ministers are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty for generations to repay His Majesty's kindness. ”

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is a heavily guarded courtyard. In the courtyard, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the flowers and plants are shady (yin).

The Turkic Jieli Khan sat bored by the pond with a fishing rod in one hand and basking in the sun. He knew that although he was pardoned for death by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, his political life was over. He will never have power again in his life, and he will not be able to walk out of this yard. Jieli Khan's face was tired, he no longer had the same arrogance as before, his hair was gray, like an ordinary old man who had no worries about food and clothing.

Ashnasimo pushed open the courtyard door, walked to the front of Jieli Khan, bowed down to Jieli Khan, and put his right hand on his chest. He knelt down and said, "Ashina Simo meets the Great Khan!" ”

Seeing the brightly dressed Ashina Simo, Jieli Khan sneered: "Hmph." You still have the face to see Ben Khan. In the decisive battle between my Turks and the Tang Dynasty, Ben Khan has high hopes for you. But you fought like that, and in the end led to the collapse of my entire army of the Great Turkic Khanate. If it weren't for your incompetence, how could the Great Turkic Khanate of Ben Khan be like this? Why did Ben Khan do this? ”

Ashina Simo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jieli Khan to say such a thing at this time and place. will even shift all the responsibility to himself.

Jieli Khan stood up and said to Ashina Simo in a thunderous voice: "Ashina Simo, you villain, did you say that you betrayed Ben Khan on the battlefield like the villains of Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan. That's why Ben Khan is where he is today. I blame you. You are the fault of everything. ”

Ashina Simo said to Jieli Khan full of grievances: "Great Khan, in the decisive battle that day, the minister is already about to win, and he has taken Li Ji's handsome banner, and he is about to kill Li Ji." It was the Great Khan that your banner was taken away by the Tang army, and you left the army behind again and fled alone. Our Turkic army of 400,000 was disheartened, and then it collapsed, what can the ministers do? Now how can you put the responsibility for the defeat on the minister, thinking that it is all the minister's fault? ”

Jieli Khan said angrily: "Presumptuous, Ashina Simo, do you think that Ben Khan is wrong, Ben Khan tells you that Ben Khan is the most wise Khan on the grassland, and he will never be wrong." It's all your fault, it's all your fault with Tuli, Qibi Holi, and Yinan, and it's your heart that Ben Khan will fail. ”

Ashnasimo stood up, shook his head and said, "Great Khan, until today, I don't know why you were defeated at the hands of the Tang Emperor?" Our Turkic soldiers are braver than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and our Turkic generals are also good at fighting by the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the strategy of the Great Khan is not inferior to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, but the Great Khan's mind cannot be compared with His Majesty the Tang Emperor. In the heart of the Great Khan, there is only himself, but the heart of the Tang Emperor is filled with the whole world. In order to consolidate your position, the Great Khan, you wantonly eradicated dissidents, and forced Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan to the edge of the cliff, and the generals and ministers have been idle, not allowing the ministers to lead the troops, but His Majesty the Tang Emperor used his broad mind to take into account the interests of the major wealthy forces in the Tang Dynasty, and united them tightly around him to do things for him. For those whom my Turks have taken refuge in him, the Turks, the Khami Holi, and the Yinan, they have granted them kings, lands, and populations, and let them govern their respective territories, and let the Turks govern our Turks themselves. For the Great Khan, their enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the place of death, he also suppressed the anger in his heart and chose to pardon, for the famous Turkic generals such as the ministers, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, he did not deal with them quickly, but wanted to treat his own courtiers like him, put his heart in his heart, add the official position of the vassal, and let the minister have real power. Great Khan, tell me, in this way, can my Great Turkic Khanate not be defeated by the Tang Dynasty? ”

Jieli Khan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Ashina Simo, shut your mouth!" You despicable man dare to accuse Ben Khan. Ben Khan is the supreme khan of the steppe, the real ruler of the entire steppe, and you, like the cattle and sheep on the steppe, are all slaves of Ben Khan and livestock of Ben Khan, how dare you accuse Ben Khan? ”

Ashnasimo let out a long sigh, knelt down again in front of Jieli Khan, and bowed to him, then stood up and left the courtyard.

And Jieli Khan looked at the figure of Ashina Simo, and shouted hysterically: "You, you people are all slaves of Ben Khan, and you are all cattle of Ben Khan!" But now you have all betrayed Ben Khan, you have all betrayed Ben Khan! (To be continued.) )
