In Chang'an City, there were originally 30,000 troops, but after two bloody battles in Yaogu and Weihe, there were less than 14,000 people left. The imperial capital of Chang'an was fully defended, and the forces were not enough to distribute, if the Turks launched a full-scale attack, only one charge was needed, and Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, would fall. The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers all understood this cruel reality, but they were still busy, making their last efforts to change the tragic ending of their fate.

Wugong County, Tuli's camp tent. Tuli sat on the main seat in a gorgeous leather robe, while Qi Bi He Li and Tang Jian sat opposite each other.

Tang Jian talked and laughed and said to Tuli and Qibi He Li: "My Majesty the Tang Emperor is sincerely seeking peace, and I hope that the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li can help lobby Jieli Khan." For the help of the second khan and general Qibi He Li, I will be rewarded in the future. ”

Qi Bi He Li said coldly: "Reward? Now it is my Great Turkic Khanate and the Tang Dynasty, the struggle between countries, the Second Khan and I, as the tribal leaders of the Great Turkic Khanate, how can we sacrifice great righteousness for small profits and help the Tang Dynasty? ”

Tang Jian said with a calm expression: "The situation of the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li is clear even to the people who pass by on the road. On the surface, the scenery is limitless, but in reality it is full of dangers. Jieli Khan's fear of the two of them, even I, an outsider who has just arrived in Wugong County, can see it clearly. Now everyone in this martial arts county understands that if the Tang Dynasty is wiped out by Jieli Khan, what he must do next down must be to get rid of the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li in order to consolidate his rule. The fate of Datang and the fate of the two have been closely linked together under the persecution of Jieli Khan, forming a relationship of lip and tooth. As for the strife between nations? General Qibi He Li is too naïve. It is rare for you to be sincere to the heart of the country. But it also depends on whom? Is it worth it? In the heart of Jieli Khan, I'm afraid that his mood to get rid of the second khan and general Qibi Heli is more urgent than to destroy my Datang, right? Let the two of you fight with me Datang, after both defeats, he Jieli Khan will sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, this is his real idea of Jieli Khan. Destroy my Datang. He wants to do it, but what he wants to do more is to get rid of the two, annex the tribes of the two, send henchmen to take over, maintain his position, and maintain his rule. ”

Tang Jian's words made Tuli and Qibi He Li fall silent. They all knew in their hearts that their dangerous situation was indeed just like what Tang Jian said, only one step away from death. Jieli destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and he will destroy them when he comes down.

Seeing Tuli and Qi Bi He Li, he was worried. Tang Jian continued: "Now that my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is willing to join forces with the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li to fight against the hungry wolf Jieli, I don't know what the two of them think? ”

Tuli looked up at Tang Jian and asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Alliance?" How many troops do you have in Datang? How much strength? ”

Tang Jian pretended to be unfathomable and said: "The current army of Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, is no less than the army led by the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li, and I also have a large army in the Tang Dynasty, which will pose a mortal threat to your Turks. ”

Tuli, Qibi and He Li all stared at Tang Jian, and they all wanted to analyze the true strength of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, from Tang Jian's expression. After some analysis, Qi Bi He Li asked in surprise: "Are you saying that there are at least 120,000 troops in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" Another army. And a mortal threat to my Great Turkic Khanate? ”

Tang Jian smiled and nodded.

Tuli said in disbelief: "Can the Tang people pose a threat to my Great Turkic Khanate? It's a big joke, my Great Turkic Khanate has more than 300,000 troops in this Wugong county. Even if Datang is really as you said, there are 120,000 troops in this Chang'an City, and there is another large army with a huge number, even if they add up, it is absolutely impossible for them to exceed 300,000 troops, and there is still a gap between the strength of our Great Turkic Khanate. A deadly threat? Big joke. ”

Tang Jian just smiled. And not words.

Suddenly, a Turkic general walked into the big tent, walked quickly to the front of Qibi Heli, and reported in a low voice: "We have captured a messenger from the Tang Dynasty, according to his account." The Tang Emperor Li Shimin ordered Li Jing of Youzhou to lead hundreds of thousands of Tang troops to attack our Great Turkic Khanate, and the target was the Khan's tent in Dingxiang. We sent scouts, and the detectives learned that Li Jing did have the intention of leading a large army to attack our Great Turkic Khanate. ”

The Turkic general's words made Qibi He Li suddenly startled. He slowly walked up to Tuli and discussed with Tuli in a whisper.

Tang Jian pretended to be surprised, stood up, and said to Tuli and Qi Bi He Li: "Did you capture my Datang's messenger and know my Datang's plan?" ”

Tuli and Qi Bi He Li didn't answer, but their faces were gloomy and they didn't say a word. They didn't expect that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin did not order Li Jingtong to lead a large army south to aid Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but chose to go north and attack their Great Turkic Khanate? Li Shimin, a madman, even if he doesn't want Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, will he fight with my Great Turkic Khanate and lose both? Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Jing, they felt frightened, the Turks' southern expedition was a southward march of the country, and once Li Jingtong led the army to attack, the Turks had no means of defense at all.

Seeing Tu Li and Qi Bi He Li's expressions, Tang Jian knew that he had guessed correctly. So, he sat down again and said unusually calmly: "Since the Second Khan and General Qibi He Li know about my Tang plan, then the two of you will discuss what to do?" If the two can persuade Jieli Khan to strike and sue for peace, I will keep the wealth in my Tang Mansion; If the two of you want to be the enemy of my Datang with Jieli Khan, then I, Datang, will fight to the end with your Turks to see who can win in the end? ”

Tuli and Qibi He Li's faces were ugly, they knew that if they fought to the death with the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who was in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, would definitely use the 120,000 troops in his hands to firmly drag down the more than 300,000 Turkic troops and prevent them from returning to the grassland; And Li Jing will inevitably lead hundreds of thousands of Tang troops to wreak havoc on the grasslands. The land is the foundation of the survival of the Tang people, and the grassland is the foundation of the survival of the Turkic people. The women, children and children of his own tribe are all on the grassland, that is the hope of his tribe in the future, how can Li Jing be allowed to act recklessly on the grassland? Now that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin has taken out all the wealth in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, he will accept it when he sees it. Do you have to fight to the death and lose both?

Thinking of this, Tuli and Qibi He Li glanced at each other, and secretly made up their minds in their hearts: "If you see it, you will accept it, and persuade Jieli Khan and Datang to negotiate peace." (To be continued......)
