Li Shimin did not lead his army to leave, but chose a conspicuous place and pressed the camp... Read the latest and most complete novel

Waiting for Jie Li, Tuli's confidant came to him.

The current situation is very good for him.

Li Jiancheng caused too much trouble this time. Yang Wengan and Luo Yi rebelled and colluded with the Turks, causing recession on the border. The Turkic army went south and Li Yuan was threatened and almost trapped to death in Phoenix Valley.

Now he led his troops to turn the tide and lifted the siege of Phoenix Valley.

One has made a sharp contrast between turning the tide and the other has made mistakes in employing people, which leads to national instability and invasion of foreign races.

Now the whole Chang'an knows the meaning of Li Yuan's deposed prince and reincarnation of the King of Qin. The major matters are settled. Just wait for him to return to Chang'an to receive the title of the prince.

Becoming the prince has entered the first step in his life, and the next step is to guide foreign races. If you want to become an emperor of Qin, Han and Wu, or even surpass, your external achievements must be beautiful. Now the Tang Dynasty really cannot draw out the financial and material resources to deal with the Turks, and resting and recuperation is the main political policy of the Tang Dynasty.

However, if the Turkic problem is not solved, everything will be useless. They come to invade every year, and the Tang Dynasty cannot sit and wait for death. They can only launch a large army to fight, and the results of rest and recuperation will be reduced by half, and the effect will be difficult to ideal. Therefore, it is imperative to instigate the Turkic civil strife, while weakening the strength of the Turkic while exchanged for the opportunity to recuperate.

This is also why Li Shimin rushed to the north after learning that Luo Shixin's Dapan Mountain repelled 150,000 Turkic troops.

He wanted to promote the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and give the Tang Dynasty a chance to recuperate. If Luo Shixin showed his power and drove the Turks back directly, he would be the one who was struggling.

When he arrived at Hulu River, he saw Luo Shixinzhen using the Turkic wolf-headed flag to humiliate Jie Li. The suppression of Jie Li's prestige as the Turkic Khan King happened to coincide with his idea. Supporting Tuli and foreign nations who were dissatisfied with the Turkic people to deal with Jie Li, he was directly on the table.

He knew that just like him, not many people could control themselves in the face of power.

Jie Li's envoy will definitely come, and the same is true for Tu Li's envoy.

really.

Before he could wait for a bell, Jie Li's envoy had arrived, and the person who came was still a Central Plains named Zhao Deyan. Li Shimin knew that many Central Plains people had no chance to display their talents in the Central Plains and sought to invest in other countries. Li Shimin was disdainful of this, but he also responded with a cautious attitude. After all, talents who had been influenced by the Central Plains culture are definitely much more difficult to deal with than those of the grassland people who could not read a few words.

"I have met Your Highness the King of Qin!" Zhao Deyan, as Jie Li's envoy, performed well, and greeted him with the bowing ceremony of the Central Plains, with a little calmness.

Li Shimin showed great enthusiasm, and he was so familiar that he could not be familiar with his expression. He also gave him a seat and gave him tea and said carelessly: "What's wrong with you khan?"

Zhao Deyan hurriedly said, "The Khan went back and thought hard for a long time, and felt that the words of Your Highness were very reasonable. In terms of strength, the Tang Dynasty has indeed surpassed the Turks. It has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, which are all over the power. The Khan King has now figured it out and is willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and respect the Tang Dynasty as his brother. He will no longer invade the Central Plains in his life."

Li Shimin was stunned and said in surprise: "Didn't you promised you khan? I said, "I support you with the Tang Dynasty. Just do whatever you want. Why do you still think that the conditions are low and you still come to bargain?"

Zhao Deyan was stunned and thought to himself: "Is the Khan also afraid that one person would come?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked, "What is your Khan's wise? Tuli or Jieli?"

Zhao Deyan said in his heart that it was "bad" and hurriedly said, "It was King Jie Li of the Turkic Khan."

Li Shimin seemed to have not reacted for a while and hesitated: "It's necessary to think carefully about this matter. The news came from the father that the Turks were repeated villains and were treacherous and were not worthy of alliance with them, so as not to know when they were stabbed behind their backs. As a person from the Central Plains, you are really hateful to be a dog for the Turks. Before I change my attention, get out quickly." The more he spoke, the sharper he spoke, and finally he even slapped the table with an angry expression on his face, asking someone to drive Zhao Deyan out.

The other party Tuli's confidant also sneaked into the outside of the military camp. He Lueu, as Tuli's eldest son, was not old and less than 20 years old, but he was a mature person and loved by Tuli. This matter was specially made by He Lueu to prove his sincerity to the Tang Dynasty from another perspective.

He Luoyu came outside the Tang army camp and asked the guards outside the camp to see Li Shimin.

When the guard turned in to report, he whispered: "What kind of wind is blowing? Several Turkic envoys have come in succession."

He Luofu didn't say a word and pretended not to hear it, but he felt alert in his heart: "Several people, it seems, there are many people who peek at the Turkic Khan King!"

Soon, a scholar dressed in a scholar strode to the front of the camp, "I, Fang Xuanling, have seen the envoy. At the order of His Highness of Qin, I came to greet the envoy. Your Highness is now meeting the guests, and I can't pull myself away for a while. The envoy hopes to forgive me."

He Luofu had a request for the Tang Dynasty, so he did not dare to keep it. He was polite and was full of vigilance towards the guest.

After waiting for about half an hour, He Luofu was received by Li Shimin.

Unlike Zhao Deyan's willingness to form a brotherly alliance with the Tang Dynasty, He Luofu said straight to the point that his father was willing to form an incense brother with Li Shimin.

"My father admires His Highness the great martial arts honors of His Highness, and is willing to become incense brothers with His Highness, and treat His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with the courtesy of his sons and nephews."

If Li Shimin proposed a brotherhood to be equal to the Tang Dynasty and Turkic brothers, then Tuli spent a lot of money and was willing to be inferior to the first-level Tang Dynasty as his nephew.

Li Shimin clearly showed an expression of intention when he heard this.

Heluofu was very eloquent and pursued the victory. He promised many conveniences, among which the Tang Dynasty guarded the frontier and ensured that the Tang Dynasty was not disturbed. He was willing to sell war horses, cattle and sheep to the Tang Dynasty, which was also a great convenience. Although there was a condition for exchange for iron and salt, because of sudden profits, the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the exchange rate.

In the Turks, Tuli had the strength and prestige to fight Jie Li, and Li Shimin had the only one who was willing to fight Tuli. Now that there are more unexpected surprises, he should accept it without hesitation and agree to fully support Tuli and Jie Li's battle.

After seeing off He Luoyu, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh and arranged all the situations. Now he was sitting and watching the show.

He was not afraid that his plan would be seen through by the other party. The cleverness of his use of this hand was that he knew how to calculate, but for the sake of profit, he could still force the other party to jump into the trap.

************

He returned to the camp in panic and told Jie Li about everything that happened in the Tang army.

Jie Li slapped the table, with a fierce and fierce look in his eyes: "What a turtle-boy, he really has a face. Just sell me to the Turks like this. As the Khan of the Turks, I, Jie Li, cannot tolerate such a villain who betrays me to the Turks." The great benevolence and righteousness he mentioned was actually because he wanted to sell it himself, but he did not succeed.

Zhao Deyan said: "Turi has great prestige in the Turks. With the help of the Tang army, he is even more powerful. Although the Khan is not afraid of him, there is a saying in our Central Plains that is 'Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them'. Even if the Khan defeats Tuli, he will suffer huge damage and his strength will drop significantly. The tribes and tribes that are loyal to us around will also be out of our control, and will become our confidant and powerful enemies."

Jie Li said, "In accordance with Mr.'s opinion, according to the current situation, what should we do?"

"The first move is the best, and then the move is the disaster. This is an eternal law. In my opinion, as long as we leave the territory of the Tang army, attack Tuli, kill Tuli, and recruit his tribes. At that time, the Khan gained more than 10,000 elite troops, and all tribes could know how serious the consequences of resisting the Khan were." Although Zhao Deyan was a literati, his evil spirit was extremely serious.

Jie Li shouted in a low voice: "Will this arouse public anger?"

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "The truth on the grassland is that the strong are respected. As long as the Khan is strong enough, why are you afraid of public anger?"

Jie Li looked cold and nodded, "What you said makes sense, just do that."

Shortly after Jie Li planned a countermeasure, He Luoyu then returned to the Turkic camp.

He Luofu told Tuli about the news that Li Shimin agreed to cooperate with them.

Tuli celebrating with his fist and laughed: "From the time when Jie Li snatched the position of King Khan from me, I swore that I must snatch the position I deserved from him no matter what. Now is a good opportunity."

"Don't be happy too early," He Luoyu said in a deep voice: "There is definitely not only Father Khan who is peeping at the position of King Khan. Today, at least three people, including the child, sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. One of them should be Jie Li's people, and at least one or two people came to Li Shimin. We have relatively rich conditions and are able to compete with Jie Li, so it is our turn."

Tu Li sighed: "Li Shimin is really amazing. I wonder if our knife can hurt him."

"No matter what the final outcome is, the only sure thing is that you must not become the Khan of the Turks." He Luoyu continued: "So we cannot trust so-called allies now. The Tang Dynasty can support them to deal with Jie Li, and can also support others and deal with us. We can only believe in interests. Interest is everything. Just like the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can get a lot in us, and they will not betray us before we lose our function. We can also use them to strengthen us, and mutual use is the way to last."

Tuli nodded and said, "There is a degree here. I believe the Tang Dynasty will not support the second Jie Li. They will definitely reject Jie Li's request and leak the news of their alliance with them to him, forcing us to fight to the death. From now on, the entire camp will be alert to prevent Jie Li's children from taking a single bet." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
