Li Yuan is still angry because Li Shimin said that "destiny is in his body".

At this time, Xiao Yu sent an urgent report from Youzhou, and the post newspaper said that the Turks would invade Youzhou.

Li Yuan immediately changed his face, handed the post report to Li Shimin, and discussed with him in a good voice to deal with the Turks.

------

It is the Eastern Turks who are about to invade Youzhou, and the Great Khan Jieli of the Eastern Turks is preparing to dispatch all the elites of the Turks to attack Youzhou.

The Great Khan Jieli is the son of the Qimin Khan and the younger brother of the Shibi Khan.

The little Khan Tuli is the grandson of the Qimin Khan and the son of the Shibi Khan.

The Great Khan Jieli was the uncle of the Little Khan Tuli.

After the death of Shibi Khan, Jieli inherited the Turkic throne and became the Great Khan of the Turks; The son of Shibi Khan, Tuli, is just a small Khan representing a Turkic snobbery.

------

Now, the Great Khan Jieli wants to unite with his nephew Little Khan Tuli to invade Youzhou together.

Li Yuan saw that the Turks were about to overwhelm the border, and hurriedly asked Li Shimin what to do.

Li Shimin suggested to Li Yuan that Feng Deyi should be used to put forward a countermeasure, and send elite troops to defeat the Turks first, and then make peace with them, so as to achieve the effect of both grace and power.

Li Yuan agreed with Li Shimin's idea and decided to send Li Shimin and Li Yuanji to lead 20,000 troops to join the troops of Youzhou to resist the Eastern Turks.

------

Li Shimin returned to Hongyi Palace, and Guanyin asked about Li Yuan's summons.

Li Shimin replied with a smile, "I was called to be trained." and told Guanyin the reason for being trained.

Guanyin asked suspiciously, "Why has Grandpa always been angry with you recently?"

------

Li Shimin seems to enjoy the training very much, and he doesn't care about the authenticity, "Have you ever heard of "beating is kissing, scolding is love"? Which family doesn't reprimand their own children at every turn, but welcomes other people's children with a smile?"

Guanyin was a little reluctant to say, "Brother Shimin comforts himself with some crooked reasoning, the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle are also the sons of Grandpa, why is Grandpa defending everywhere?"

Li Shimin seemed to have a bamboo in his mind, but he smiled at Guanyin's question and did not answer.

------

Next, the two talked about resisting the Turks, and compared with every previous expedition, this time it worried Guanyin the most.

In the past, Li Shimin led his troops to pacify all forces, mostly attacking cities and villages, and facing most of the infantry. Li Shimin led the Xuanjia soldiers to rush and kill, as if entering a no-man's land.

The Turks are all cavalry, and Li Shimin always likes to take risks lightly, and if he is surrounded by Turkic cavalry, it is difficult to break out of it.

------

Guanyin was really afraid that Li Shimin would make a mistake, so she begged Li Shimin, "As the commander of the first army, Brother Shimin must no longer charge into battle in person."

Li Shimin obediently promised Guanyin, "Brother will listen to Guanyin, and if this kind of thing happens again, I will let Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie go."

Guanyin was still not at ease, she repeatedly advised, "Brother Shimin must not be careless, first, he must always think about having a wife and children at home. The second is that once there is a defeat, the aura you have accumulated over the years will be no longer heard in an instant. Now the uncle and the fourth uncle are always thinking about suppressing you, and winning the battle still arouses the accusations of the grandfather, and if you lose the battle, you will provide an excuse for others to slander you. I also hope that Brother Shimin will think twice before acting."

------

In leap July, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji sent troops to Youzhou to resist the Turks, and Li Yuan marched for the army in Lanchi.

Li Shimin led the army to Youzhou, but the army was unfavorable.

Soon after the Tang army set out, it encountered continuous autumn rain, and the soldiers marched in the rain, all of them physically and mentally exhausted.

------

In August, after more than 20 days of long-distance marching, they arrived in Youzhou.

Due to the rain, the roads were blocked and it was difficult to travel, and the supply of military rations could not be transferred, so the soldiers could only eat half full every day.

Winter in Youzhou came early, and it was already bitterly cold in August, and the Tang army was in the midst of hunger and cold.

The morale of the whole army was low, and the soldiers were full of resentment.

------

In mid-August, 10,000 Turkic cavalry arrived in Youzhou and camped in the west of Youzhou.

There was a big difference in the number of cavalry of the Tang Army and the Turkic cavalry, and the cavalry led by Li Shimin was 3,000, and the cavalry of Youzhou together was less than 5,000 people.

The morale of the Tang army was low, and the cavalry was too different, and the soldiers were timid, and no one was willing to go out of the city to fight.

-----

When he set out on the expedition, Guanyin repeatedly told him not to let Li Shimin take risks, and Li Shimin agreed well in front of Guanyin.

But as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he took Guanyin's words as a deaf ear, and the old mistake was made again.

------

Li Shimin said to Li Yuanji, "The thieves are coming to the city, we must not show cowardice, we should fight with them to boost morale. Would the fourth brother be willing to go out of town with me?"

Li Yuanji was afraid of war in his heart, and said to Li Shimin, "The thieves are powerful, why do you need to fight easily? If you lose, you can't regret it."

Li Shimin did not force Li Yuanji to go to battle with him, and said to him, "The fourth brother is guarding the city here, and I can lead the troops to go alone."

------

Li Shimin left Li Yuanji to defend the city, and he took a hundred Xuanjia soldiers out of the city to meet the battle.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of those who went out of the city, Li Shimin asked Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Ding Jikan, Qiu Xinggong, Changsun Zhan and other generals to go out of the city with him.

In addition, he also brought a Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Gongjin turned out to be Wang Shichong's subordinate, this person is brave and strategic, and his strength is incomparable, and he was recommended by Wei Chi Jingde and Li Shichang to enter the Qin Palace.

With these people with him, Li Shimin suddenly felt emboldened.

------

Li Shimin only dared to take a hundred Xuanjia soldiers out of the city to fight, but in fact, he had already thought it through, and he was not rash to fight.

He had long known that the Great Khan Jieli and the Little Khan Tuli were at odds.

After the death of the father of the little Khan Tuli, Shibi Khan, the Great Khan Jieli seized the throne.

The little Khan Tuli had long had the idea of regaining the Khan throne, and he once contacted Li Shimin privately and wanted Li Shimin to help him regain the Khan throne.

Therefore, the Turkic army looks very powerful, but it is not the same heart, Li Shimin wants to take advantage of the gap between them to provoke the relationship between the Great Khan Jieli and the Little Khan Tuli.

------

Li Shimin came to the front of the Turkic array with a hundred Xuanjia soldiers and shouted to the Great Khan of Jieli, "China has a covenant of peace with the Khan, why is it now taking the covenant and penetrating into our territory?"

"I am the king of Qin, and if the Khan is strong in martial arts, he will fight with me alone; If I want to fight, I can resist it with a hundred cavalry."

Jieli Great Khan didn't know the details of Li Shimin, so he didn't laugh.

------

Li Shimin led the Xuanjia soldiers to continue to approach the front of the Turkic formation, and he shouted to the little Turkic Khan, "You have an alliance with this king, and you are ready to let this king help you in times of crisis, but now you are leading troops to attack this king, what is the use of an alliance between you and me?"

When the little Khan heard it, he didn't hear it, and he didn't answer to Li Shimin.

------

Li Shimin continued to approach the front of the Turkic front.

When the Great Khan of Jieli saw that Li Shimin dared to come to meet him with a hundred men, and heard that he had an alliance with the Little Khan of Tuli, he couldn't help but suspect that there was a conspiracy between Li Shimin and the Little Khan of Tuli.

So the Great Khan said to Li Shimin, "The King of Qin doesn't need to move forward again, I don't have any other intention to come this time, just to reaffirm the covenant."

Then, the Great Khan ordered the Turkic army to retreat, and Li Shimin also returned to the city with a hundred Xuanjia soldiers.

------

That night, Li Shimin sent people to meet the little Khan of Tuli and explain the stakes to him.

The little Khan of Tuli asked Li Shimin to be a brother, and he asked to regain his throne in the future, and Li Shimin readily agreed.

On the second day, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Li Shimin said to his subordinates, "The Turks are good at bows and arrows, but now that it has rained for many days, the bowstring can no longer be used when it encounters the tide, just like a bird without wings."

"Our military has swords and lances, which are not affected by the weather, so it is a good time for us to attack."

------

Yesterday, Li Shimin took 100 Xuanjia soldiers out of the city, scared the Turks away, and greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army.

Seeing that the soldiers were excited, Li Shimin ordered the cavalry to quietly leave the city late at night and march to the Turkic garrison in the rain.

When the Great Khan heard that the Tang army was coming to attack, he discussed with the Little Khan of Tuli how to meet the battle.

The little Khan of Tuli did not agree to fight.

The Great Khan of Jieli had no choice but to send the Little Khan of Tuli to Li Shimin to make peace.

------

The Tang army itself also had many disadvantages, and Li Shimin did not want to fight hard with the Turkic army, and peace was the best result for the Tang army.

Now, the Great Khan of Jieli sent the Little Khan of Tuli to make peace, and Li Shimin also accepted it when he saw it.

The two sides re-signed the alliance and withdrew their troops.

------

After the Turkic withdrawal, Li Shimin led his army back to Chang'an.

Originally, Li Shimin retreated from the Turkic army without a fight, which was also considered meritorious.

Li Jiancheng complained to Li Yuan, "Since you want to make peace, why do you need to mobilize the army and work on an expedition. Knowing this, it would have been better to send an envoy to send gold, silver, and silk to the Turks, and it would have cost less money."

Li Yuanji also said to Li Yuanjin, "The second brother had dealings with the little Khan of Tuli before, and they made a private alliance and were suspected of collaborating with the enemy. I think he wants to coerce the Turks into self-respect."

------

Li Yuan seemed to be getting more and more confused, and he believed everything Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji said.

He called Li Shimin over again and reprimanded him, so that he was not allowed to communicate privately with the Turks in the future.

Then he sent Pei Lin as an envoy to the Turks to discuss the matter of peace.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji saw that they had repeatedly succeeded in slandering Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan, and the two of them were secretly proud in their hearts.

As a result, the two of them spoke ill of Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan even more unscrupulously, and Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin became more and more cold.

------

The staff of the Qin Palace's palace were indignant when they saw that Li Shimin was being snubbed day by day.

Fang Xuanling said to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Now, the gap between the king and the crown prince and the king of Qi is impossible to bridge, if the prince and the king of Qi are not removed, not only the king of Qin may be killed, but the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is also in danger of being overturned."

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "I have long had this idea, but I have never dared to say it, I might as well persuade the king to do it as soon as possible."

------

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji went to see Li Shimin and persuaded him to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin disagreed, he said to Fang Xuanling and others, "Cannibalism has been despised since ancient times. Killing siblings is unkind and unjust; Disobey the orders of the monarch and be disloyal and unfilial. I will wait until they do it to me first, so that I will not be unkind, unjust, unfaithful, and unfilial."
