When Li Kuan saw Tang Jian in Shuofang, Old Tang's face was still gloomy and terrifying.

Although he didn't understand why Tang Jian had a bad face, he still believed that Tang Jian didn't dare to disobey Li Shimin's order, and he felt that the reason for his bad face was that the things he sent were not in place, and Tang Jian was also old, so he didn't want to do the work of the envoy, after all, the road was far away.

Li Kuan and Yu Zhining put aside their stubbornness and lost their thinking power, and invited Tang Jian to a banquet.

specially roasted a sheep so that Tang Jian could have a good meal.

At the banquet, Tang Jian was eating roasted whole sheep and drinking fine wine, still sighing.

Li Kuan and Yu Zhining glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, but Tang Jian didn't say anything, just ate there, and they couldn't say anything.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Kuan relied on his age advantage and said: "Tang Gong will definitely leave a name in history this time, and I congratulate Tang Gong in advance." ”

Tang Jian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If I can, I really don't want to go to the grassland." ”

"I won't talk much about the danger, it's still a life with a mortality rate of up to ninety percent, and this way of life is unpredictable."

Yu Zhining put down the wine glass, his face was extremely embarrassed, Tang Jian's words, he and Li Kuan really couldn't take it.

The main reason why Tang Jian said was reasonable, the reason why Li Jing and Li Shimin agreed to the peace talks was more because they wanted Jieli not to run around, and by the way, they gathered those tribes loyal to Jieli on the grassland together to prepare for defeat in one fell swoop.

It was a complete calculation.

Yu Zhining and Li Kuan, as well as many people in Chang'an City, including Tang Jian, all knew about it.

But if you want to calculate the profits, you must pay something, and at this time, you need a person with a large enough status and reputation to go to the grassland and conduct peace talks, so as to stabilize the situation in the grassland and prepare for the pursuit of Li Jing and others.

Tang Jian is this figure with enough status and fame.

Tang Zhen, who knew that he could only gamble on his life in the future, sighed, raised his wine glass, and toasted Li Kuan and Yu Zhining.

Some choices, I have to do this sentence was vividly expressed by Tang Jian at this time.

If he doesn't go, his family will be disgraced and looked down upon.

If he goes, he really doesn't want to.

A banquet was drunk until the middle of the moon, and Tang Jian was confused and confused.

The next day, Li Kuan and Yu Zhining personally sent Tang out of the city.

Although Tang Jian was dissatisfied with the envoy in his heart, he still went to Dingxiang with his stubborn mindfulness, looked for Li Jing who was stationed here at this time, and then trained Li Jing into a dog in front of his stubborn mindlessness, and did not dare to say anything about Li Jing, who was in his fifties, and then left with stubbornness and lost mindfulness.

After Tang Jian went to the Jieli garrison, Li Jing found his deputy Zhang Gongjin and asked in a deep voice: "Li Tao's army has arrived at the designated position." ”

Zhang Gongjin nodded seriously, it's here.

However, Zhang Gongjin wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "But as soon as Tang Gongjin went to Jieli, we launched an attack, isn't it not good." ”

"This is really a bit irresponsible for Tang Gong's life."

Li Jing replied expressionlessly: "He knew his fate when he went out, so for the success rate of the strategy and reducing his survival rate, I believe Tang Gong doesn't mind." ”

Ahh

These words made Zhang Gongjin not know how to pick it up for a while.

He also believed that Tang Jian knew the danger of being sent by Tang Jian, but this did not mean that we should give up other people's lives.

Zhang Gongjin felt that Li Jing was more or less entrained.

Li Jing took a deep look at Zhang Gongjin, and said in a flat voice: "Gongjin, you have to know one thing, as long as you win this battle, there will be no war in the grassland for ten years, and our Datang will be peaceful for ten years, which is the best gift to the Central Plains." ”

Li Jing said that he is not the kind of person who acts recklessly and does not regard the lives of his comrades-in-arms as human lives, he just chose an appropriate approach at the right time to offer a gift to the Tang Dynasty, which has just been unified and may enter a peaceful and prosperous era.

Zhang Gongjin listened to Li Jing's more and more bland words, looked at Li Jing's increasingly indifferent and indifferent expression, and sighed in his heart, he knew that Li Jing had entered the state of being a fighter at this time.

Zhang Gongjin has seen this state many times, but he has seen it in Li Shimin.

It was a magical state, and once you entered, all choices would only go to the ending that had been decided a long time ago.

To put it bluntly, the choice Li Jing made at this time was not aimed at anyone, just for the ending he wanted, as for what was lost, destroyed, and affected in the middle, he could only say sorry.

Li Shimin, who decided to do Xuanwumen, was also in this state.

After determining that Li Jing couldn't listen to people's words at all, Zhang Gongjin no longer persuaded and went to carry out the order with peace of mind.

After leaving some men for Zhang Gongjin to garrison Shuofang, Li Jing issued orders to the other five-way armies, telling them to act according to the plan they had made, and he himself led his troops to join Li Tao.

The two soldiers were united, with a strength of 30,000, and rushed directly to the Jieli station.

After arriving, I didn't say a word, and went straight to work.

Jie Li, who originally greeted Tang Jian and listened to the Tang Dynasty's attitude, was happily celebrating, but he didn't expect that Li Jing didn't care about Tang Jian's life at all, and chose to work directly.

Jieli's army was once again beaten and completely defeated at the foot of Yin Mountain, and Jieli could only flee with his only personal guards.

In this battle, Su Lie became famous, and Zhang Baoxiang picked up a great credit for capturing Jieli alive.

Zhang Baoxiang just followed Li Jing's instructions and blocked it in the position that had been designated a long time ago, and he never expected to be able to pick up a Jieli for nothing.

Tang Jian still survived as in history.

Leaning on a sheepskin, he hid under the heavy snow, escaped the military disaster, and survived bravely.

The first thing Lao Tang did when he survived was to find Li Jing and vent fiercely, Li Jing did not refute this, and let Tang Jian vent.

After the victory of the war, Li Jing captured all the goals that Li Shimin needed, Princess Yicheng, Empress Xiao, and Jieli.

By the way, when Li Jing was rich in troops, he cut Xue Yantuo again.

The tribes that had just picked up Xue Yantuo's stinky feet were all killed by Li Jing, which made the alliance led by Xue Yantuo, who was ready to take advantage of the opportunity to rise, collapse in an instant.

There was no way, Li Jing took the red-eyed Tang army to use a little force when he beat them.

For example, a small tribe of Hui took advantage of the chaos to loot a Jieli support tribe and took away the spoils that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and then Zhang Shigui personally led people to pacify, and the entire tribe was beheaded and a grassland landscape landmark was cast to warn others.

When Li Kuan knew about this, he praised in his heart, he did a really good job.
