Li Shimin did not lead the army to leave, but chose a conspicuous place and pressed the camp.

Waiting for Jieli and Tuli's henchmen to come to the door.

The current shape is a great thing for him.

Li Jiancheng caused too much trouble this time, Yang Wengan and Luo Yi rebelled and colluded with the Turks, and the border was restless, and the Turkic army was threatened when they went south, and they were almost trapped and died in the Phoenix Valley.

Now he led his troops to turn the tide and relieve the siege of Phoenix Valley.

There is already a sharp contrast between one turning the tide and the other making a mistake in employing people, leading to the instability of the country and the invasion of foreign races.

Now the whole Chang'an knows that Li Yuan abolished the prince and replaced him with the king of Qin, and the major event is decided, just waiting for him to return to Chang'an in triumph, and then accept the canonization of the prince.

Becoming a prince has taken the first step in his life, and the next thing is the strategy for the alien race. If you want to become an emperor of the first level of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, or even surpass, your external merits must be beautiful. Now the Tang Dynasty really can't spare the financial and material resources to deal with the Turks, and rest and recuperation are the main policy of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

But if the Turkic problem is not solved, every qiē is in vain. They come to invade every year, and Datang can't sit still, so they can only open a large army to meet the battle, and the results of recuperation will be halved, and the effect is not ideal. Therefore, it is imperative to instigate Turkic civil strife, weakening the strength of the Turks on the one hand, and on the other hand, in exchange for a chance to recuperate.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin rushed to the north non-stop after learning that Luo Shixin had repelled the 150,000 Turkic army in Dapan Mountain.

He wanted to promote the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and give the Tang Dynasty a chance to recuperate. Luo Shixin is a great display of divine might. drove the Turks back directly, and he was the one who was entangled.

This came to the Hulu River, and saw that Luo Shixinzhen was using the Turkic wolf's head to humiliate Jieli. Suppressing Jieli's prestige as a Turkic khanate coincided with his thoughts. Supporting the Turks and the disgruntled foreign nations to deal with Jieli was directly on the table.

He knew that just like him, there weren't many people who could hold it in front of power.

The messenger of Jieli will come, and so will the messenger of Tuli.

Really.

Before waiting for an hour, Jieli's messenger had already arrived, and it was actually a Central Plains man named Zhao Deyan. Li Shimin knew that there were many people from the Central Plains who went abroad because they could not get the opportunity to display their talents in the Central Plains. Li Shimin was disdainful of this, but also responded with a cautious attitude. After all, the talents who have been cultivated by the culture of the Central Plains are definitely much more difficult to deal with than the grassland people who can't read a few big characters.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin!" Zhao Deyan as the messenger of Jieli. The table is not bad, with the Central Plains as a salute, not humble or arrogant with a bit of calmness.

Li Shimin's expression is very enthusiastic, and he has a familiar expression. Show him a seat. He also asked someone to bring tea, and said casually: "What is the matter with you Khan?" ”

Zhao Deyan hurriedly said: "The Great Khan went back and thought about it for a long time, and felt that His Highness's words were extremely reasonable. In terms of strength, Datang has indeed outperformed the Turks a lot, and in recent years, it has repeatedly failed miserably, all of which are the result of self-inflicted efforts. The King of Khan has now figured it out and is willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and respect the Tang Dynasty as a brother. In this life, he will no longer invade the Central Plains by half a step. ”

Li Shimin was stunned and said, "Didn't you already promise your Khan?" It's all said, I'll support you in Datang, just do whatever you want. Why do you still dislike the low conditions and come to bargain? ”

Zhao Deyan was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the Great Khan is afraid of another person?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly asked, "What is the benefit of your khan?" Tuli or Jieli? ”

Zhao Deyan said "not good" in his heart, and said busily: "It's the Turkic Khan King Jieli." ”

Li Shimin didn't seem to react in the middle of the ring, and hesitated: "This matter still needs to be thought about, the news has just come from my father, saying that the Turks are repeated villains, treacherous, and not worthy of an alliance with them, so as not to let them stab them behind their backs." As a Central Plains person, you are willing to be a dog for the Turks, which is really hateful. Until I change my mind, get out of here. The more he spoke, the sharper his words became, and in the end, he even got up with an angry expression, and asked someone to drive Zhao Deyan out.

On the other hand, Tuli's henchmen also sneaked outside the barracks, and Heluhu, as the eldest son of Tuli, was not very old, less than twenty years old, but he was an old man, and he was deeply loved by Tuli. This matter specially asked He Luohu to prove his sincerity to Datang from another angle.

He Luohu came to the outside of the Tang army camp and asked the guards outside the camp to see Li Shimin.

When the guards turned in to report, they whispered: "What kind of wind is blowing, several Turkic envoys have come in a row." ”

He Luohu didn't say a word, pretending not to hear, but his heart was vigilant: "Several, it seems that there are not a few people who peep at the Turkic Khan King!" ”

After a while, a scribe dressed as a scholar strode to the front of the camp, "Contemptible Fang Xuanling, I have seen the messenger. On the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he came to greet the envoy. His Royal Highness is now receiving guests, and he can't take a break for a while, and the envoy hopes to forgive him. ”

He Luohu had a request from the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't dare to say anything, he was polite, but he was full of vigilance against the guest in his heart.

After waiting for about half an hour, He Luohu was received by Li Shimin.

Unlike Zhao Deyan, who was willing to form a brotherly alliance with the Tang Dynasty, He Luohu said straight to the point that his father was willing to form an incense brother with Li Shimin.

"My father admires His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and is willing to form an incense brother with His Royal Highness, and treat His Majesty the Tang Emperor with the gift of a son and nephew."

If it is said that Li Shimin's brotherly alliance is commensurate with the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic brothers, then Tuli is here to make a bloody capital and is willing to be a nephew of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin heard this, he obviously showed a look of intent.

He Luohu was eloquent and pursued with victory. Many conveniences were promised, among which it was basic to guard the frontier for Datang and ensure that Datang was not disturbed, and he was willing to sell war horses, cattle and sheep to Datang, which was a great convenience. Although there is a condition for exchanging iron weapons and salt, because of the sudden profit, the proportion of exchange, Datang is a big advantage.

In the Turks, only Turki has the strength and prestige to fight with Jieli, and Li Shimin is the only one who belongs to Tuli.

After sending He Luohu away, Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and all the bureaus were arranged, and now he will sit and watch a good show.

He is not afraid that his strategy will let the other party see through it, and the cleverness of his hand lies in knowing that he is calculating, but for the sake of interests, he can still force the other party to jump into the trap.

**********

In a panic, he returned to the camp and told Jieli about everything that happened in the Tang army.

Jieli slapped the case, and his eyes flashed with fierce color: "What a king and eight calves, what a long face." Sell me Turk like this, and as the Khan of the Turks, I can't tolerate this kind of villain who turns his back on my Turks. "The benevolence and righteousness he said actually wanted to sell, but he didn't succeed.

Zhao Deyan said: "Turki is very prestigious in Turkic, and with the help of the Tang army, it is even more powerful. The Khan was not afraid of him, but there was a saying among us that said, 'Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred'. Even if Khan defeats Tuli, he will suffer great damage and his strength will be greatly reduced. The surrounding tribes and tribes loyal to us will also break away from our control, and instead become our confidants and powerful enemies. ”

Jieli said seriously: "According to Mr. Wang's opinion, according to the current situation, how should we deal with it?" ”

"The first strike is stronger, and the last strike suffers. This is an immutable law for the ages, in my opinion, as long as we go out of the territory of the Tang Army, attack Tuli, kill Tuli, and integrate his people. At that time, the Khan King had more than 10,000 elites, and he could also let all the tribes know how strict the fate of resisting the Khan King was. "Although Zhao Deyan is a literati, he is extremely strict with his evil spirit.

Jieli whispered, "Will this cause public anger?" ”

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "The truth on the grassland is that the strong are respected, as long as the king of Khan is strong enough, he is afraid of any public anger." ”

Jieli's expression was grim, and he said, "What you said is very reasonable, so do it." ”

Soon after Jieli formulated a countermeasure, Holohu returned to the Turkic camp.

He told Tuli that Li Shimin had agreed to cooperate with them.

Tuli shook his fist in celebration and laughed: "From the moment Jieli snatched the throne of Khan from me, I vowed to take back the seat I deserved from him no matter what, and now is a godsend. ”

"Don't be too happy too soon, Father Khan." He Luohu said in a deep voice: "This is definitely not the only one who peeps into the throne of the Khan, but today, including the child, at least three people have sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. One of them should be Jieli's person, and at least one or two others have found Li Shimin. Our conditions are relatively rich, and our strength can compete with Jieli, so it is our turn. ”

Tu Li sighed: "Li Shimin is really amazing, I don't know if our knife can hurt him." ”

"Regardless of the final outcome, the only thing that is certain is that the Khan who is not a Turkic king must not." He continued: "So we can't trust our so-called allies too much now, the Tang Dynasty can support them against Jieli, and it can also support others against us. We can only trust in benefits. Interests are a qiē. Just like the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can get a lot from us, they will not turn their backs on us before we lose their role, and we can also use them to strengthen us, and using each other is the long-term way. ”

Tu Li said: "There is a degree here, I believe that the Tang Dynasty will not support the second Jieli." They will surely refuse Jieli's request, and leak the news of their alliance to him, forcing us to fight to the death. From now on, the whole battalion will be on alert to prevent Jieli children from making desperate bets. (To be continued......)
