Bird Mouse Valley, Li Xin has been with Su Dingfang round, adding up to 150,000 troops, the entire Bird Mouse Valley military camp stretches for more than ten miles, Wei Chi Gong, Luo Shixin and so on are all great generals, even Qin Huaiyu and others who guard the imperial tent are also brave soldiers, these little generals walk in the camp, but also form a unique scenery, not only them, but other generals, I heard that Qin Huaiyu and others guard the imperial tent, and they have sent their children into the military camp, no matter whether they can make war exploits or not, at least, closer to Li Xin, This is also a qualification, not.

"Xu Shiji's soldiers and horses are stationed in the Pingyao area, the minister went to that place back then, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Xu Shiji stopped our Northern Expedition." Su Dingfang carefully reported the results of the recent investigation, and there were some regrets in his heart, he should not have withdrawn from the Bird Mouse Valley.

"It's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, don't keep it in mind, even if it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can't stop the pace of our army's advance, since Li Shimin made this mistake, he is no longer my opponent." Li Xin said without thinking: "If Xu Shiji surrenders, I may spare his life, otherwise, he will be crushed by the army." ”

"Yes." Su Dingfang nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, the news of the letter has come." In the distance, Shen Qianqiu trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Xindu Jinyiwei that the Goguryeo envoy Gao Wen met with Li Shimin three days ago, and after the two sides argued, the Goguryeo envoy has come to Chang'an. There is also news, that is, someone has sent news that Li Yuan may have sent someone to meet Jieli Khan, and is ready to take advantage of our attack on Taiyuan to let the Turks enter the pass and resist our army. ”

"Oh, look, now some people are not used to seeing the Li family's father and son, otherwise, the latter news. I'm afraid Jinyiwei won't be able to get it so easily. After Li Xin heard this, not only was he not surprised, but laughed and said: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." Li Yuan's father and son have already gone into decline, and they actually colluded with the Turks, isn't it enough for the Turks to plague the border passes and Hebei over the years? Now they have come to plague Taiyuan again, but they don't know how the people of Taiyuan hate the Turks. ”

"Li Yuan This is also the result of no way, he knows that it is impossible to defeat His Majesty with his own strength, so he will look for the Turks, after all, we have destroyed Li Yuan. The next step is the Turks, and he also believes that this time the Turks will definitely make a move. Jing Jing said: "He is drinking to quench his thirst, the Turks are a greedy hungry wolf, and I don't know what price Li Yuan needs to pay this time." ”

"It's not a waste of his money, it doesn't matter what it takes. It's Li Shimin, I still underestimated him, and actually rejected Goguryeo, aren't you afraid that Goguryeo will give him a bite from behind? Li Xin said with a smile.

"Goguryeo is not the same as the Turks. Although we and the Turks are enemies, the Goguryeo people are even more hateful. Even if Li Shimin wanted to cooperate with the Goguryeo people, he imagined the attitude of the Hebei family. Jing Jing shook his head and said, "The minister thinks that the Goguryeo envoy has come to Chang'an." I'm afraid it's not a good idea, thinking that it is probably to get benefits from us, and promise to join forces with us to flank the pseudo-Zhao. ”

"It's delusional, to unite with anyone. I will not unite with Goguryeo, and when Li Zhao is destroyed, the next ones will be the Turks and Goguryeo. Li Xin said disdainfully: "Pass the decree." Forbid Goguryeo envoys to enter the territory of my Datang, kill them! ”

"Your Majesty, even if you want to kill them, the minister thinks it will be convenient to capture them and kill them in public." Ling Jing spoke: "You can even catch them when you are in Chang'an City." announced his crimes and published them on Tang Feng, so that everyone in the world could understand. ”

"Not bad." Li Xin glanced at Ling Jing and nodded with some surprise, this Ling Jing obviously wanted to increase his prestige, and what surprised Li Xin even more was that Ling Jing already knew the role of Tang Feng, which was to control public opinion and use public opinion to achieve his own goals. This is a good phenomenon, and sometimes, it can have unexpected results.

"Okay, pass the decree to Duan Qi!" Li Xin said with a smile: "Actually, I really want to meet this envoy, tsk, I really have the courage to come to the Tang Dynasty, am I not even as good as Li Shimin?" Li Shimin knew that he couldn't collude with Goguryeo, so would I collude with them? ”

Li Shimin probably knew that if Goguryeo really attacked the puppet Zhao, and His Majesty's side was also attacking Taiyuan, in this way, it would give people the impression that His Majesty and Goguryeo had been united, and this would also be a blow to His Majesty's prestige. That's why Goguryeo was rejected. Ling Jing explained.

"In this way, if I meet the envoy of Goguryeo, I will really succeed in spreading rumors by Li Shimin." Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and soon figured out the conspiracy.

"So you can only kill them, but if you kill them, Your Majesty will also be spoken, and the two countries will be at war, and they will not be killed. If Your Majesty kills them, they will be said to be unkind. Ling Jing said again.

"Kill to make Liwei." Li Xin said very calmly. This is an unspoken rule not to kill the envoy, but Li Xin is different, Goguryeo is the place where Li Xin must conquer, not only for the prestige of the empire, but also because of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died by the Liaoshui.

"Yes." Ling Jing suddenly showed a wry smile, Li Xin is doing things uneasily, I am afraid that the Goguryeo envoy would not have thought that he would meet such a person, I only hope that the Goguryeo envoy will be lucky, otherwise, he will lose his life alive.

"Attack Pingyao." Li Xin looked into the distance and said, "Kill Xu Shiji." Hmph, a person who has lost even the surname of his ancestor is not worth my attention on him. Be sure to capture Taiyuan before the Turks reach it. Li Xin was still more worried that the Turks would intervene at this time.

"Yes." Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief, the war finally broke out, and he believed that this time it would definitely not stop at Taiyuan. Just trying to capture Taiyuan before the Turks arrived, there was still a certain degree of difficulty.

Turkic Golden Mountain, under the tooth tent, Jieli Khan on the high platform, looking at the army in front of him, after the war with the Western Turks, taking advantage of the opportunity of the death of the Tongye Khan, Jieli Khan occupied many territories of the Western Turks, if it were not for the desperate resistance of Ashina, I am afraid that the Western Turks could not even protect the last territory, he would become the greatest Khan of the unified Turks, but now his prestige has reached its peak, and there are as many as 500,000 people under his command, respectively, with tigers, leopards, and wolves, guarding the tooth tent. He had long wanted to attack the Central Plains, but he had a good relationship with Li Yuan, and he knew that once he attacked the Central Plains, he would definitely be resisted by Li Yuan, but now he didn't have to, Li Yuan actually invited him to enter the Central Plains and resist Li Xin with him, this was his chance, from the tooth tent to Taiyuan, any fortress along the way would not have the strength to resist. How could Jieli Khan give up such an opportunity? So he did not hesitate to lead the army south to the Central Plains.

"Soldiers, do you know what the South is? There is the most fertile land, the most beautiful women, and countless gold and silver treasures, all of which are given by God, but the cowardly southerners do not have the ability to enjoy all this, these things can only be possessed by the strong, and we are the most powerful people under the sky, so these things should be ours. Jali Khan roared loudly on his horse.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."

Under the tent, hundreds of thousands of generals let out bursts of cheers, these people may not have heard what Jieli Khan was shouting, but when they saw the soldiers in front of them cheering, they also followed closely behind, letting out bursts of shouts.

"Now that the emperor of the Central Plains has finally invited us to go south to the Central Plains, this is our chance, and from now on, we will have the most fertile land, in the south, the most beautiful women are beckoning to us, and countless gold, silver and jewels are waiting for us to snatch." Jieli Khan said loudly: "Now, I will lead you south to the Central Plains, drink the Yellow River, and seize the picturesque rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. ”

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins." The Turkic soldier once again waved his war knife in his hand and let out a frenzied cry.

"High Priest, it's up to you now." Jieli Khan looked at an old man beside him, he was dressed in colorful clothes, holding a tambourine in his hand, and a walking stick, the cane was carved with strange patterns, this is the Turkic high priest, every time there is a big event, it is this high priest who makes a move, in the Turks, the high priest has a high prestige.

"Don't worry! Great Khan, you will surely lead our Turks across the Central Plains under the guidance of God, and make our Turks stronger. The High Priest said faintly.

"Please!" Jieli Khan jumped down from his war horse and fell to the ground, and behind him, countless people knelt densely, and only the high priest was left on the entire high platform.

The high priest jumped up on the high platform, he danced a strange dance, and made strange and ugly sounds from his mouth, and finally stood quietly on the high platform, closed his eyes, and waited for half a ring, then opened his eyes, and said loudly: "Soldiers, I have found the gods, and asked the gods about the results of this battle, and the gods told me that Ashina will lead you to conquer all the cities in front of you, and win victory after victory, soldiers, unite around Ashina, and he will lead you to glory." ”

"Tenjin, Tenjin."

The soldiers of the three armies cheered, they trusted their high priest, believed that the high priest would bring the will of heaven, and believed that Jieli Khan would lead them south to the Central Plains, seize the picturesque country, and get more land and women.

"Let's go south to the Central Plains." Jieli Khan turned on his horse, waved the golden scepter in his hand, pointed to the south and gave the order to attack loudly. (To be continued.) )
