"The army is about to send troops, and the Turks are coming to kill at this time, and our plan is probably going to be postponed again." Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while and said, "The more the army is delayed, the more time the imperial court will have to prepare. Father, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and we definitely can't be like Li Xin, not to mention whether we can defeat the Turks, even if we have the ability, at least it will be delayed for a few months. ”

Li Yuan felt a little remorseful in his heart, he had known that in this way, he should have let the Turks attack Li Xin when he sent his own troops. In this way, Li Xin did not have enough soldiers and horses to enter the Central Plains eastward. It's all this damn Turks, why are they so useless, even Li Xin's soldiers and horses can't resist it, 200,000 troops, even if they go up one by one, they can fight for a long time. If the Turks hold out for a while, why should they be so troublesome at this moment?

"Tang Guogong, what the Turks call is just money. We really can't, and maybe we can give some money. Liu Wenjing persuaded in a low voice. He had dealt with the Turks, and he could even vaguely guess that the reason why the Turks turned to attack Taiyuan was not only due to their nature, but more importantly, he suffered a big loss from Li Xin, and the loss of his troops made the Turks think of making up for their losses in Taiyuan.

"Really?" Li Yuan's eyes rolled after hearing this, he was worried that the Turks would capture Taiyuan, leaving him homeless, and even losing his foundation, so that he would never have the possibility of making a comeback, and now he heard that he was just asking for some money, so he was much more relieved.

"The Turks are greedy and cunning, and they have a lot of money and goods, what Lord Liu said is very true, and the children also think so." Li Shimin said: "Father, the child heard that there is a system called the mercenary system in Liangzhou, which spends some money to recruit some Hu soldiers to help the Western Army fight, these mercenaries only need money, why don't we give some money and recruit some Hu soldiers on the grassland." In this way, we can strengthen the strength of our army. ”

"What do you think?" Li Yuan actually agreed with Li Shimin's construction in his heart, but it was just that he couldn't say it.

"Erlang's words are reasonable." Pei Lin touched his beard and nodded. He is friends with Li Yuan, and he thinks he is Li Shimin's elder, and he is Erlang when he opens his mouth, and Erlang when he closes his mouth. Li Shimin's brows frowned inadvertently, and he soon disappeared without a trace.

?“ Wen Jing, what do you see? Li Yuan looked at Liu Wenjing and said.

"Maybe we can do it, but no matter what, I'm afraid our treasury will suffer a big loss this time." Liu Wenjing smiled bitterly: "Shibi Khan suffered a big loss from Li Xin this time. In a fit of rage, they will come to our side, and without paying a certain price, I am afraid that the Turks will not leave. ”

"Then give it to them." Li Yuan said viciously, he was shooting himself in the foot, if he hadn't played a trick himself, thinking of letting the Turks attack Li Xin and consume Li Xin's men and forces, he would not have let the Turks come to the nest. This can only be blamed on Li Xin's soldiers and horses being too strong. So that the Turks could not take any advantage.

"Is Li Xin really something he can deal with?" Li Yuan suddenly had a question in his mind. His complexion changed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Tang Guogong doesn't have to worry, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are certainly very powerful, but his foundation is shallow. Even if he enters Guanzhong in the future, the whole Guanzhong will not support Li Xin, and without the support of the Guanzhong family, what if Li Xin enters Guanzhong first? Liu Wenjing persuaded: "Now I have persuaded the Turks first. Then quickly set up troops to the south, and the second was to ask Tang Guogong to write a letter to Song Laosheng, and he should be more humble in terms of words. The Bird Mouse Valley is a dangerous fortress, the terrain is dangerous, as long as there are thousands of people, we can be blocked out of the Bird Mouse Valley, only let Song Laosheng relax his vigilance, we have a chance. ”

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded and said, "The Turks have Lao Wenjing, as for Song Laosheng, I will write to him." Wen Jing, for your sake, let's finish! ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go to see Shibi." Liu Wenjing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded, this kind of thing also needs to be done, who let him go last time?

"Send the children off." Li Shimin instantly turned countless thoughts in his mind and followed Liu Wenjing out.

"Second son." Liu Wenjing was very curious why Li Shimin sent him.

"Wen Jing, we don't have time this time, we must quickly raise troops, Song Laosheng was caught off guard, we can't cross the Bird Mouse Valley, every qiē is delusional, the family members in Guanzhong all think that Li Xin will be afraid of the power of the Guanlong family, but the people of the world think that Li Xin will definitely continue to attack, and the speed is very fast, he will not be in the family family, even if there are no these family families, he will let new people replace the old nobles." Li Shimin looked at Liu Wenjing and said: "Wenjing, this time we need the strength of the Turks, no matter what kind of conditions, as long as we can do it, we can promise each other, money is not a problem for us, whether it is the family in Taiyuan, or the family in Guanzhong is our backing, we are short of time now, as long as we can enter Guanzhong before Li Xin." Li Shimin looked at Liu Wenjing with hopeful eyes, which made Liu Wenjing feel a trace of pressure.

"Second son, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely find a way to facilitate this matter." Liu Wenjing finally said.

"Thank you for being quiet." Li Shimin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bowed to Liu Wenjing, turned around and left.

"Li Xin, I will definitely be stronger than you, you wait, one day, I will let you surrender at my feet, let you see that the strength of the family is definitely not comparable to a side family like you." Li Shimin looked to the southwest, and he seemed to see Li Shimin directing the army to move slowly towards the east.

Outside the city, Liu Wenjing looked at the endless Turkic camp, his heart was complicated, if he could, he would rather not come to the Turkic camp, follow a few Turkic soldiers, he could faintly hear a burst of miserable screams from the Han family women in his ears, and he could also see a lot of Han people working under the urging of the Turkic soldiers' leather whips, which made him hate himself very much in his heart, as an official of the Han family, but he watched his compatriots suffer from the oppression of the Turks. He knew that these people were either gifts from Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu, or they were captured by the Turks after they conquered the city. He wished he shouldn't be here.

"Liu Wenjing was ordered by Tang Guogong to visit the Khan." Finally arrived in the tooth tent, Liu Wenjing respectfully saluted to the Shibi Khan above.

"Liu Wenjing, it's your intelligence mistake that caused my Great Turk to lose 100,000 warriors and suffer defeats, I want to ask Li Yuan, is this his attitude towards his allies?" Shibi Khan's voice was very flat, but the pressure contained in it made Liu Wenjing's face pale, and this pressure made Liu Wenjing feel ashamed.

"Li Xin is insidious and cunning, he has long had the intention of rebelling, not only Tang Guogong, but also the imperial court did not find out his true number of soldiers and horses, for which Tang Guogong felt very sorry." Liu Wenjing hurriedly said: "For this reason, Tang Guogong is ready to give His Royal Highness the Venerable Khan 100,000 stones of grain, 5,000 horses of fine silk, and 10 stones of gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"Hmph, Tang Guogong is really rich! However, will these compensate me for the losses of my Turkic warriors? Although Shibi Khan didn't say enough, his face was much better, and he said lightly: "Double it!" ”

Liu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, although it was a lot to double, it was not unbearable, Li Yuan not only had the Li family behind him, but also the Long family, since the Guan Long family had decided to support Li Yuan, these things could naturally be compensated by the Guan Long family. It's not really nerve-wracking.

Shibi Khan glanced at Liu Wenjing, as if he saw his thoughts, and sneered: "My Turkic army has been killed all the way, and Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou have already declared themselves to my Turkic vassals, I don't know what Tang Guogong thinks?" ”

"What?" Liu Wenjing suddenly changed color, and only then did she understand why Shibi Khan was so good at talking, and the compensation was only doubled, not because the other party was benevolent, but because there was another calculation, that is, to let Li Yuan be a minister, this kind of thing Liu Wenjing didn't dare to agree lightly, what is Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, such an anti-king Li Yuan can't look down on it at all, but there is not enough time, otherwise it can be wiped out casually, Li Yuan is the representative of the Guanlong family, if he also declares himself a vassal to the Turks, I am afraid that this reputation will stink on the street.

"What? Li Yuan is unwilling? Shibi Khan said loudly.

"If he doesn't want to, we'll fight him until he does." "Such a picturesque country should be enjoyed by our Great Turkic warriors." ”

"In this matter, the lower officials have no way to call the shots, and they have to go back to see Tang Guogong." Liu Wenjing was shocked and hurriedly said. If the Turks really attacked Taiyuan, the losses would be great.

"I'll just wait for a day, tell Li Yuan, and call me a vassal, Ben Khan will not only spare him, but also send my Turkic warriors to help him capture the Central Plains and defeat Li Xin." Shibi Khan threw out the bait.

Liu Wenjing was really a little moved when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Khan, wait a minute, the lower official will go to see Tang Guogong." "If you can let the Turks follow the army south, it will save Li Yuan a lot of time, as for the minister, Liu Wenjing didn't take it to heart, didn't the ancestor Liu Bang also proclaim himself to the Xiongnu? For the time being, he will be a minister, and then he will teach the Turks a hard lesson in the future, and the history books will always be written by the victors. Liu Wenjing is absolutely sure to convince Li Yuan.

"That's very good." After Shibi Khan heard this, he personally sent Liu Wenjing out.

"Damn, damn." Li Yuan's face turned red, if it was just to compensate for some money, Li Yuan wouldn't say anything, after all, there were still a lot of big families behind him, and he could easily get some money, but he couldn't do this kind of thing by making him a minister, this will be written into the history books in the future, and Li Yuan will also be stinking for 10,000 years, how could Li Yuan agree?
