209. The Alliance of Weishui (Middle)

"But we've imprisoned our stubbornness, and Jieli won't just retreat, right?" Xiao Yu said cautiously.

"Of course not." Li Shi replied.

"What then? If we really fight, we are indeed not his opponents, and once the suspicious plan is discovered, the consequences will be equally unimaginable. Chen Shuda blurted out.

"I'm going to go to the Weishui River to negotiate with him personally." Li Shimin pursed his lips and said.

"What? Your Majesty, this must not be done. As soon as he said this, it was no longer just Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi and other old ministers who stopped him, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and even military generals such as Hou Junji and Zhang Gongjin who opened their mouths to stop it.

"Why not? Of course, I went out to negotiate, you can't be idle, the battle should still be fought, Jieli rushed south this time, and the eighteen tribes could not all return to their hearts. ”

"After I go out, Junji, Hongshen, each of you will lead a force and fiercely attack the left and right flanks of Jieli, especially Junji, you gather all the black armor troops in Beijing and attack the right wing of the Jiejun army with all your might."

"I want Jieli to see that I, Li Shimin, even if I am blocked by his army at the door of my house, is not a soft persimmon that he can pinch if he wants." Li Shimin said with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, you should take the Black Armor Army to Weishui with you, they are the strongest troops in my Datang, with them by Your Majesty's side, at least they are safe." Hou Jun Jidao.

"No, I don't need to bring the Black Armor Army, I went to Weishui to negotiate with Jieli, not to fight, I don't need so many people, the military generals of Wenchen will elect a total of five people, and six people are enough to join me." Li Shimin shook his head.

"How does this work?" The ministers blurted out with glaring.

"Why not? There are 200,000 soldiers and horses behind Jieli, if he doesn't want to negotiate at all, and he has to solve it by force, even if I take 6,000 men, what's the use? ”

"Jieli is suspicious in life, I bring more people, he will think that I am weak-hearted, and it is very likely that he will be angry and wave his army, I only take so many people to go, but he will not dare to act rashly."

"Okay, I have made up my mind, Junji, Gongjin, you take the order." Li Shimin glanced at everyone, and then went down.

"No general." Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others knew Li Shimin's character very well, and knew that it would be useless to persuade them at this time, so they could only accept the order.

"But I don't know which people Your Majesty is going to go to the Weishui River?" Fang Xuanling asked again.

"Jingde is one, Xuan Ling, do you dare to go with me?" Li Shimin smiled slightly, watching Fang Xuanling speak.

"Your Majesty is not afraid, what is Weichen afraid of? It's just that he only brought so many people, and the minister was indeed a little worried. Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment and said.

"Xuan Ling, I know what is on your mind, you are worried that once Jieli goes crazy, he will not follow our train of thought, watching me only take a few people to the bridge, desperate to rush over and capture me alive."

"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but Xuan Ling, don't forget, this kind of thing is a war, seven points depend on people, and three points depend on the will of God, if the final situation really goes in the worst direction, I can only say what my Li Shimin's life should be, and I can't blame others."

"Don't persuade me, I have made up my mind, this matter will not change, I believe that my judgment will not be wrong, and anyone else who wants to travel with me can sign up by myself." Li Shimin smiled at Fang Xuanling, then raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall, and said.

"I would like to follow Your Majesty to the bridge." Gao Shilian stepped forward.

"Okay, Master Gao can be counted as one." Li Shimin nodded.

Other generals spoke one after another, but were stopped by Li Shimin, he didn't need to bring too many generals here, it was enough to have Wei Chi Jingde alone, Du Ruhui saw that he didn't want generals, so he stood up and prepared to ask for help, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at him and said: "Keming, you have to stay in the palace to coordinate the overall situation, otherwise, Xuan Ling and I will go to the bridge, and once there is anything in the palace, no one who can make decisions will be found." ”

As soon as he said this, several old ministers suddenly felt a fever on their faces, and His Majesty's move was to put it bluntly, he did not believe in their ability.

However, this time, the Turkic army suddenly came to the city, and the performance of these old ministers was compared with the old ministers of the Qin Palace, and they were indeed judged.

"Alright, let's go, let's get out of town." After the people who traveled were selected, Li Shimin got up and stood up after arranging everything, and the other courtiers subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But the current emperor is not Gaozu, and it is basically impossible to change what he decides, and more importantly, there is no better way to do it except this method.

Li Shimin didn't have the time to care about these people's affairs, he took Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Wei Chi Jingde and others out of the palace gate, and rode all the way towards the temporary bridge on the bank of the Weishui River.

Jieli Khan saw that he had lost his strength and had not returned for a long time, and was about to send someone to inquire, but he saw Li Shimin only coming to the bridge with a few horses from a distance, and a pair of eagle eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Just when he squinted and thought about what Li Shimin wanted to do when he ran to the bridge alone, someone under the tent came to report: "Great Khan, the stubbornness has been seized by Li Shimin, and at the same time, the left and right sides of our army have been fiercely attacked by the Tang army, and the casualties are not small. ”

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you ran here with such a few people, aren't you afraid that Ben Khan's army of 200,000 iron will rush up and trample you into meat sauce?" After Jieli listened, his face sank, a pair of eagle eyes raised a sharp mang, led people to the other side of the bridge, and shouted to Li Shimin across the bridge.

"Hahaha, Jieli Khan, you came uninvited, at the beginning of this month, you sent someone to take the initiative to ask my Tang Dynasty for cooperation, and exchanged horses, cattle and sheep for our countless gold, silver, cloth and grain, to show that the two families are safe forever."

"As a result, you turned your back and waved your troops south, as the Khan of a country, you are not afraid of the shame of the world?" Li Shimin laughed and said.

"Hehe, the Tang Emperor laughed, since ancient times, there is only the saying that the prince is the prince and the loser, how much money can Xinyi be worth? Don't talk nonsense, the letter of obsessive thinking should be brought, do you give a happy word, to drop or not to drop? Jie Li laughed twice, didn't care about Li Shimin's sarcasm, and said with a sneer.

"If Jieli Khan thinks that I, Li Shimin, can be bullied, don't let the horse come, see if I am a tens of millions of sons of the Tang Dynasty, whether I am afraid of your iron horse." Li Shimin said loudly.

"Great Khan, let the last general lead people to capture that Li Shimin." Seeing that Li Shimin was so arrogant, a general beside Jieli was quite angry, and said with an angry face.

"Don't be reckless, this Li Shimin has never fought uncertain battles, he dares to only lead six horsemen out, he must have something to rely on, you look at the banner behind him that can't be seen at a glance, obviously there are countless ambushes behind him." Jieli shook his head.
