Chapter 7 Changes in History The Weishui Alliance
"Well, that means that from you, history has begun to change, because in our future history, there is no title of Princess Qiyang. Have you noticed anything unusual lately? Li Nuoheng asked.
"It's normal to not have the title of Qiyang, since Xiuning was buried, I rarely went to the palace except to guard the Niangzi Pass, and I didn't even show up when the second brother Xuanwumen was competing for the throne. The current palace knows that Qiyang's title will not be easily mentioned, for fear that the second brother will be sad when he thinks of Xiuning. Ying Ying explained.
"But I came back from Niangzi Guan this time, and it was indeed because of some things. Since I took over the Women's Army, the Women's Army no longer undertook the military task of conquest, and I divided the Women's Army into three battalions: Feifeng, Feikite, and Qinying. Feifeng and Feikite carried out assault missions, while Qinying investigated the military situation and focused on assassination. According to the information from Qinying, there have been small groups of Turkic people who have been active in the Jingzhou area recently, and they are very frequent. So I returned from Niangzi Pass to discuss it with my second brother. ”
"Turkic people, Jingzhou, frequent activities......" Li Nuoheng muttered, and suddenly, a famous incident came to mind.
"The Weishui Alliance! It's the Weishui Alliance! Li Nuoheng stood up excitedly and said loudly.
"What Weishui Alliance?" Ying Ying looked at Li Nuoheng puzzled and asked.
In the ninth year of Wude, Jieli Khan, who learned that Li Shimin was on the throne, sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Jingzhou in the south, advancing all the way to Wugong, directly threatening Chang'an. On 30 August, Li Shimin set up a suspicious plan and personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, and other six horsemen to the edge of Weishui, where they had a dialogue with Jieli and accused Jieli of losing the contract. Jieli Khan saw the Tang army appear behind Li Shimin and others, and learned that he had lost his thinking and was captured, so he was terrified. The two signed a peace agreement on the Weishui Bridge in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, and the two sides immediately killed the White Horse Alliance. After that, Jieli Khan returned with all the Turkic cavalry. Li Nuoheng told Ying Ying the record of the Weishui Alliance in the later generations in the shortest possible words.
"Ahh After listening to this, Ying Ying immediately left her seat, came to the bookcase next to her, opened the map, and carefully calculated and studied.
"No wonder, then it all makes sense, no wonder the Turks are so active. No, I'm going to enter the palace, and I'll tell my second brother about it right away. Saying that, Ying Ying got up and was about to go out. Li Nuoheng hurriedly stopped her.
"You can't go now, you go now, how can you explain this to him? From Jingzhou to Chang'an, such a long distance, who can believe it? Besides, the fact that the current Turks are only small groups of operations proves that they are not ready to send troops either. The final result of this incident was that Datang was safe and sound. If you go so rashly, once the news leaks, it will make the people who have just stabilized fall into uneasiness again, and it will not be conducive to your second brother's governance, right? ”
"So what do you say?" Ying Ying listened to Li Nuoheng's words, and slowly calmed down and asked.
At this time, Ruyue's voice came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two. "Princess, your guests have been brought, are you dining now?"
"Okay, let them set it up, and we'll get over here." Ying Ying suppressed the things in her heart and prepared to take Li Nuoheng to lunch, and by the way, she set up his words. Let's see what else we can know.
"In Xia Zhang Yulou, it is Li Nuoheng's captain, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." Team Zhang looked at Ying Ying, who had just come out of the house, and said.
"General Zhang is fortunate to know, Nuo Heng told me everything, I will help you complete your task, but you also have to help us resist the Turks." Ying Ying said to Team Zhang.
Li Nuoheng, who was standing behind Ying Ying, squeezed his eyes at Team Zhang, and Team Zhang also suppressed the doubts in his heart, and nodded in response to Ying Ying's words. Then the two followed Ying Ying to the gazebo in front of them to prepare for dinner.
"What's going on? Don't forget the mission, you are here to correct history, not to destroy it. Team Zhang muttered and said to Li Nuoheng as he walked.
"Of course I'm here for the mission, you think about what year we've crossed over. In 626, in the eighth year of Wude, the battle of Weishui. It's only July now, Li Shimin has just ascended the throne, and the Turks have already begun to operate in Jingzhou, do you think this is normal? Li Nuoheng responded.
"So, maybe our mission is aimed at this event?" Team Zhang replied.
"I feel like there's a big possibility! That's why I'm going to see if we can work together. But Team Zhang, I have a question, if you bring an ancient person back to modern times, what will happen, will it be like what is played on TV, will it die of old age directly? Li Nuoheng didn't forget to promise Ying Ying to take her to modern times to play.
"You kid has watched too much TV, and our skills in the Penetration Bureau are still very good, and there will be no situation like you said. Hey, you kid won't fall in love with Miss Liu, the princess's maid, right? Team Zhang listened to Li Nuoheng's words and scolded with a smile.
"Hmph, now you can laugh, there will be a time when you will be uncomfortable." Li Nuoheng thought secretly in his heart.
When the group came to the gazebo, they saw a table of wine in the pavilion, and the dishes on it were dazzling, which seemed to make people feel appetizing. A roasted golden leg of lamb in the middle, it can be seen that Team Zhang and Li Nuoheng are drooling, especially Team Zhang, he has not eaten much meat recently, and today he finally has the opportunity to eat meat, and he can't help but swallow his saliva.
"Sit down, let's eat first." Ying Ying looked at Team Zhang's appearance and couldn't help but smile.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, I'm sorry to let you see the joke." Team Zhang said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, retribution is coming. Let you just laugh at me. Li Nuoheng watched the excitement on the side.
"Li Nuoheng, let's continue the topic just now, how can we inform my second brother about this matter. And so that he will not doubt. You must have an idea, you have to help me with this. Otherwise, I won't tell you what the Spirit Tortoise said at the end! Ying Ying looked at Li Nuoheng proudly and said.
"Why, I'll think about it. According to historical records, the reason why the Turkic army was able to reach Chang'an directly was that Luo Yi, who was stationed in Jingzhou, released water. Therefore, as long as Li Shimin is suspicious of him first, then the Turkic troops will not come in so easily. Li Nuoheng gave a solution.
"But how can you make the second brother suspect Luo Yi? The second brother is the third secretary of the same department. Ying Ying asked rhetorically.
"Luo Yi is a close confidant of Li Jiancheng, and I made up the news that Prince Yin also had an illegitimate child, who was picked up by Luo Yi, and Luo Yi was ready to support him to rebel. Your second brother must believe it, and then he will send someone to investigate, and if he checks it, he will find out what he has done. ”
Li Nuoheng didn't expect that he would come up with a way at random now, and instead of finding the true descendant of Prince Yin, he learned about his origin from the rebellion that controlled Luo Cheng.
