Chapter 335: Talking about laughter and quelling civil strife

The letter was not long, it was just a short line, but it gave Li Zhen a headache - the Bazhuo army had crossed the Ulungu River and was marching rapidly in the direction of Luntai.

Damn, did you come so quickly, hey, the old man just came out of Beijing, he couldn't hold his breath, he really thought Lao Tzu was a soft persimmon? Li Zhen has long known that Bazhuo is not a wise master, and he is not a very clever commander, compared to his brother Dadu, whether it is military talent or bearing, it is a cut behind the boss, the reason why he can take the position is just the identity of such a son-in-law, and he has long expected that Bazhuo will definitely have a bloody battle with the Tang army of Anxi, however, according to Li Zhen's original estimate, even if Bazhuo wants to enter the army, he will not make a move until Li Shimin's battle against Goguryeo officially breaks out, but he never thought that Li Shimin had just left Beijing. Even Youzhou hasn't arrived yet, Ba Zhuo will kill the general, if there is no strange here, how can Li Zhen believe it, but there is something wrong with it.

There must be a problem, and there must be a problem with one of them! Li Zhen frowned, and after considering all the possibilities, his heart suddenly moved, as if he remembered something, but he didn't say much, just raised his head, looked at the sky that was about to darken, glanced at Gao Heng and said: "Xiao Heng, go and invite General Ashina Thero, just say that this king invited him to the banquet." ”

"Yes." Gao Heng replied, turned around to leave, but stopped again, with an excited look on his face, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, but is there going to be a war?" ”

Oh, this stinky boy's dog nose is really smart! Li Zhen saw that Gao Heng could detect his intentions from the subtleties, and he admired it in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but instead straightened his face, glared at Gao Heng, and was so frightened that Gao Heng hurriedly stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran to the horse, turned over on the horse, and flew away.

"Stinky boy!" Li Zhen glanced at Gao Heng who was rushing away, scolded with a smile, turned around and handed the note in his hand to Yingda, and said calmly: "Transfer this information to Mr. Mo, and say that it is up to Mr. Mo to decide how to amend the original plan." Yingda nodded silently, stretched out his hand to take the small note, rolled it up, and put it into the small copper pipe as it was, and did not say anything to ask what was going on, but just followed Li Zhen wordlessly and walked towards the barracks......

Wine is good wine, the best "victory", the dish, although it is just some barbecue and other big road goods, but after the refinement of the famous chef, the taste is also unusual and comparable, a jar of wine, a table full of delicacies, in the army, can not be said to be a feast, but Ashina Therro sat on the seat but seemed a little distracted, with trembling, such as sitting on pins and needles to describe, I am afraid that it is a little too much, but the taste of food is obvious, without him, it is said that Li Zhen is feasting, but the wine banquet has begun for a while, Except for a big eagle who can't beat a stuffy fart with three punches, there is no one else in the big tent of the Chinese army, not even a guard who pours wine, I don't know which play Li Zhen is singing, Ashina Sero is playing drums in his heart, how can he still be in the mood to care about the quality of the wine and food.

"General Eagle, Your Highness......" Ashina Thero played with the wine bottle in his hand, and asked tentatively, but unfortunately this question was like the previous times, and the answer he could get was that Eagle Da silently raised the bottle to invite him to drink. Ying Danai is Li Zhen's personal guard captain, his status is not comparable to that of ordinary generals, since he invited to drink, this wine has to be drunk, and the helpless Ashina Thero had no choice but to drain the wine in the bottle, light up the bottom of the bottle, and continue to wait with a wry smile.

"General Eagle, is Your Highness in the camp?" After sitting for a long time, seeing that it was already very late, Ashina Thero was really fed up with the taciturn of the Eagle University, and had to open his mouth again, this time he finally got an answer, but it was not from the Eagle University, but Li Zhen himself who was walking in from outside the tent.

"Brother Thurrow, this king has some trivial matters delayed, hehe, I've kept you waiting, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Zhen, who had strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, arched his hand at Ashina Thro with a smile, and said apologetically with an apologetic face.

Ashina Sero is now under the fence, and he is no longer the Western Turkic "Great Khan" before, how dare he sit upright and accept Li Zhen's salute, he hurriedly stood up, leaned sideways, and gave way, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness is polite, you are busy with official business, and it is the right thing to wait for the end general." ”

Li Zhen smiled indifferently, didn't say anything more, nodded lightly, walked straight to the top, sat down casually, waved his hand lightly, and the eagle who was standing on the side nodded thoughtfully, bowed and saluted, and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent. After the eagle was gone, Li Zhen raised his hand and said: "Brother Thurro, please sit down, this king has always been impatient to be polite, there is no need to be polite in front of this king, come, this king will pay tribute to Brother Thuro first." ”

Li Zhen's wine must not be drunk, otherwise, then you will have to drink the penalty wine, Ashina Serro was full of questions, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to raise the wine bottle with a smile, bowed and said: "Your Highness Xie, the last general will do it first as a respect." As soon as the words fell, he drank the wine in the bottle very refreshingly.

"Okay, refreshed!" Li Zhen laughed, drank a bottle with him, reached out and picked up the wine jar on a few pieces, filled it for himself, raised the wine bottle again with a smile, and asked as if intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Thurrow, is everything okay in the old camp?" Is there a shortage of grain supply? ”

The old camp naturally refers to the old camp of Ashina Thero, but now Ashina Thero can not return to the old camp, and now the old camp is completely under the control of the Tang Army, and the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses of Ashina Thero's department can only be stationed far away on the front line of the Baiye River. Ashina Serro still knew it in his heart, and when he heard Li Zhen ask about it at this time, although he didn't quite understand what the intention was, he still replied honestly: "Thanks to His Highness, everything is fine, everything is fine." ”

"That's good, this king hasn't treated Brother Thureau badly, right?" Li Zhen suddenly showed a look on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, stared at Ashina Sero's eyes, and asked lightly.

As soon as Ashina Thero heard that Li Zhen's words were wrong, his heart immediately chuckled, and his face turned pale, but he quickly recovered, and adjusted his mentality with the moment he picked up the wine bottle, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Your Highness, what are you talking about, you have the great grace of life to my five major clans, and Your Highness's generosity will never be forgotten." ”

"Uh-huh, huh?" Li Zhen asked with a smile, and without waiting for Ashina Thuro to answer, he suddenly turned pale, and a huge momentum suddenly rose, his eyes were sharp as knives looking at Ashina Thero, and he said coldly: "Should this king call Your Excellency General Thurro, or should you call Your Excellency Gus Khan?" Well? Li Zhen's words were very heartfelt, Rao is Ashina Sero has been in the top position for a long time, and the city government is very comparable, but he was also shocked by these words, and his hand trembled, and the wine in the bottle splashed a little, dripping on a few sons, and it sounded so harsh in the quiet.

After Ashina Sero was silent for a long time, he raised his head, drank all the residual wine in the bottle, threw the wine bottle to a few sons with a wry smile, and looked at Li Zhen with a calm face: "Your Highness must already know, there is nothing to say, Your Highness can deal with the last general as he wants, but please let go of the old and young of our clan, and the last general will be captured." ”

Li Zhen has never been a big master, the reason why he invited a guest, but put Ashina Thelo aside for so long, there is naturally a reason, in addition to waiting for Mo Li's reply from the other end, more is waiting for the news of the "Rising Sun" dark pile, of course, it takes a lot of time to secretly arrange some means, this will come so late, obviously, Li Zhen dared to have a showdown with Ashina Thelo at this time, since he had already prepared all the follow-up means, he was not afraid that Ashina Thelo would be able to turn the tables, At this time, seeing that Ashina Therro softened, Li Zhen did not restrain his momentum, but smiled coldly and said: "If people don't know, unless they don't do anything, this king can save the whole clan of Erzhi, and naturally he can destroy it, but it's only 100,000 people, and if you kill it, you will kill it, and it is a big deal." ”

Li Zhen slaughtered the small tribe of the grassland back then, Ashina Sero has personally experienced, he knows that the lord in front of him is not a good person, he can naturally do it, as soon as he heard Li Zhen's murderous words, his tense face immediately turned white, and the sweat on his face involuntarily came out, and without counting, the whole person was soaked in sweat, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath, wanting to beg for mercy, but he didn't know where to start. Only a pair of leopard eyes looked at Li Zhen with a pleading look.

Seeing Ashina Thuro so embarrassed, Li Zhen was quite emotional in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, just smiled, and suddenly changed her words and said: "However, God has the virtue of a good life, although this king is not afraid of blood, but he is not willing to do such senseless killing, where to go, please Brother Thuro choose for himself." ”

The virtue of a good life? , Look at what this said, the people who died under Li Zhen have long been unknown, when did they see Li Zhen have a good life, this is just a cold joke, if irrelevant people listen to it, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth, however, as a party to Ashina Sero can't laugh, even if it is a laugh, it can only be a bitter smile, no, as soon as Li Zhen's words revealed the meaning of letting go of the five major tribes, Ashina Sero immediately couldn't sit still, and got up in a panic, He didn't even bother to help the wine bottle on the few sons was brought down, and strode to the open space in front of the few sons, touched the ground on one knee, covered his chest with his hand, and made a big salute, and said loudly: "The last will swear in the name of the wolf god, follow His Highness forever, never rebel, if you violate this word, the descendants will be destroyed!" ”

This is the second time that Ashina Thero has sworn in front of Li Zhen, but this oath is obviously different from the last time such a mouthless bullshit oath, and there is a little more sincerity in the heart, which Li Zhen can hear, however, he doesn't take it very seriously, without him, for Li Zhen, the oath is a fart, and it will be over when it's over, it can't be true, if it is needed, Li Zhen can make countless oaths at any time, obviously, Ashina Sero is also the same kind of person, It's just that Li Zhen didn't break it, but nodded indifferently, slowly put away the momentum released, and said with a calm face: "I'm afraid that General Thureau made a mistake, this king is just one of the princes of the Tang Dynasty, and the general should not swear so much, if this word spreads, this king is afraid that he will inevitably be impeached." ”

Li Zhen's words are half-true and half-false, although Ashina Sero is a heroic man outside the Saiwai, but he is also an old man who has been rolling in the Khan Court for many years, how can he not hear the meaning inside, Li Zhen's voice just fell, Ashina Sero immediately said categorically: "The oath of the last general is not in his heart, and this heart can only be learned from God." ”

Li Zhen looked at Ashina Sero expressionlessly for a while, and then said lightly: "General Thurro, please get up, what is the reason for this matter, this king is still a little confused, and please start from the beginning." ”

Li Zhen said so, but Ashina Therro knew that his private deeds had already been noticed by Li Zhen, but he didn't hide it, got up, didn't walk back to his seat, just stood with a bowed face, and said with a respectful face: "The origin of this matter, the last general was also kept in the dark, that is, it was only in the past one or two days that he knew about it." Ashina Sero said this, peeked at Li Zhen's face, and saw that Li Zhen's face was still calm, so he continued: "Here's the thing: Bazhuo sent people to mix into the old camp, and somehow got in touch with the patriarchs of various tribes, and the leaders of the various tribes were blinded by the promise made by Bazhuo Xiao'er, and privately colluded with some generals and pawns of various ministries to force the last general to agree to cooperate with Bazhuo Xiao'er's actions, and the last general was forced to be helpless, and he didn't want to betray His Highness, so he had to agree not to help each other, and the last general knew that he had made a big mistake, I didn't dare to ask His Highness for forgiveness, but I only asked His Highness to give the last general a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

Don't help each other? Hey, damn it, it's a good two don't help each other, the big war is together, you kid leads the troops to slip away, wouldn't Lao Tzu have to suffer from the enemy, damn it, if it weren't for Lao Tzu to keep an eye on it, he would really be miserable by your old man! As soon as he heard Ashina Sero say it so lightly, Li Zhen suddenly felt annoyed in his heart, but because of the depth of the city, he didn't bring it to his face, but he was also a little afraid in his heart - these days, the northern Xinjiang rudder of the "Rising Sun" has been busy with military investigations, although the monitoring of Ashina Serro himself has not been very relaxed, however, the monitoring of the old camp has been much negligent because of the presence of the Tang Army guards, if it weren't for the urgent military report from the "Rising Sun" team in front today, I'm afraid that Li Zhen is still in the dark at this time, and if she goes to the battlefield with such a huge hidden danger, the consequence is that you can imagine how miserable it will be if you think about it with your toes.

I was afraid to return to the future, but Li Zhen didn't bring it to her face, but just groaned and said, "Do you know why this king will let you go?" ”

Obedient and listening, although Li Zhen's words are not very beautiful, and even a little harsh, but for Ashina Sero, it is not a fairy sound, seeing that Li Zhen has already shown that he will not cure his own crimes, Rao is Ashina Therro is also a calm person, but he can't help but tremble, and the heart that has always been hanging is a little calmer, however, he didn't dare to say too much, just shook his head and said: "The end general is unknown, please ask Your Highness for guidance." ”

Li Zhen glanced deeply at Ashina Thuro and said, "If you really acted according to Zieglertai's words, Er's head should have been hung on the flagpole today." ”

Zieglertai, the leader of Heluo Shilu, when Ashina Sero and Yibi Lu fought fiercely in the Chu River, it was this person who betrayed Yi Pi Lu, and almost caused the whole army of Yi Pi Lu to be defeated, but unfortunately because of some mistakes in the cooperation, as well as the fierce counterattack of the White Wolf Army, resulting in failure, and Zieglertai's troops suffered heavy casualties in this battle, as for the old and young of his tribe was cut down by Yi Pi Lu to eradicate the roots, no one was left, and after the battle of Baiye River, only more than 1,000 horses were left in his department, There is no difference with the commander of the light pole, the reason why Bazhuo hooked up with Ashina Sero's department, this person is the key to it, and things like threading the needle are not less, leading some generals in the army to suggest that Ashina Sero betray Li Zhen is also this person, who suggested that Ashina Serro and Bazhuo join forces, take advantage of the Tang army's unpreparedness, preemptively, and then swept the Tang army captured 70,000 prisoners of war to establish themselves as Khan, and said that the Bazhuo side can cut off the head of Ashina Sero to ensure the position of Ashina Sero in the position of the Great Khan in northern Xinjiang.

Ashina Therro was not unmoved by Zieglertai's suggestion, but at the end he still did not dare to make this decision, but agreed that as soon as the Bazhuo army arrived, he would immediately lead his troops to break away from the Tang army and rescue the old camp, and then he would no longer participate in this battle, on the condition that Bazhuo could agree to set up a division and rule the Western Turks with Sisadu. The two sides agreed to Ashina Sero's proposal as soon as Xue Yantuo's army arrived at the Qingshui River, and Ashina Serro immediately led his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

As soon as Ashina Thero heard Li Zhen call out Zieglertai's name, he knew that Li Zhen had already grasped the whole situation, and he was shocked in his heart, and the sweat that had been stopped immediately surged out again, but he didn't even dare to wipe it, but hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will go and cut off the head of the dog of Zieglertai, but, it's just, it's just that the elders of my five major tribes......" Ashina Therro couldn't say it anymore when he said this, but his eyes showed pleading.

In Li Zhen's opinion, the leaders of all the ethnic groups are all waste, and it is easy to kill them, but this is not the time, in order to stabilize the tribes of all ethnic groups, and the state and county planning and other work has not yet been on the right track, Li Zhen did not send the leaders of the gang to Beijing, but all of them were controlled in the old camp, but they didn't expect that these guys couldn't do the right thing, but they were all good at playing yin, and they actually carried the Tang army guards behind their backs, and made a huge deed, which really opened Li Zhen's eyes. I wanted to take advantage of the exposure of this conspiracy to get rid of them all, but I was worried that the war would start, once the rear was unstable, I was afraid that it would be easy to cause chaos, so I didn't plan to do anything with these guys. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the last general will go back to the camp to clean up one or two, please send an army to supervise, and the last general will cut off the head of the dog of Zieglertai." Hearing Li Zhen's words, Ashina Therro secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was busy trying to show his loyalty with the head of Zieglertai.

"There is no need to send troops, General Thuro can do it himself, it is not early, and this king will not leave more generals, so let's go." Li Zhen nodded noncommittally and said lightly.

"The last will be retired." Seeing that Li Zhen had given an order to expel the guests, Ashina Sero dared to stay any longer, so he hurriedly answered, saluted, withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army, and went to take care of the affairs of the army without mentioning it.

Looking at the back of Ashina Thero's hurried departure, Li Zhen got up a little upset, stretched his waist, walked to the large sand table in the corner of the big tent and squatted down, looked at the line of the Qingshui River, and fell into deep thought......
