Chapter 104 The Mystery of History Although Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan worked together to send troops, no one knows how much trust there was between them.
Regarding this Weishui Alliance, Ji Song has no intention of interfering and cannot interfere.
Although Li Shimin admired him, when it came to political wisdom, Ji Song was still far behind those smart people of this era.
Although this alliance will make Datang and Li Shimin feel humiliated, it is more worthwhile than saving face to allow the Tang courtiers to see the Turks' wolfish ambitions with their own eyes.
When Li Yuan was founded, he was very close to the Turks and once even borrowed troops from the , some of the courtiers have a favorable impression of the Turks.
This time the Turks went south, which completely shattered their illusions and paved the way for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks in the future.
The debate between Li Shimin and the ministers did not last long. In the end, Li Shimin convinced , Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Li Jing, Li Ji and others began to perfect the entire plan to ensure that it was foolproof.
"Come with me!" When they finished talking, Li Shimin walked up to Ji Song and said.
"promise!"
The two of them walked aimlessly in the military camp. Ji Song just followed silently. He really didn't know what to say.
Li Shimin, the emperor, did an impeccable job. When the country was in trouble, he did not shrink back or compromise.
Instead, step forward and even put yourself in danger.
The emperor can do this, even if he makes mistakes of one kind or another, but his responsibility is so valuable that no one can say anything about it.
"After this incident, which department in the court do you want to go to?" Li Shimin said suddenly.
Ji Song looked at the emperor blankly, what did this mean?Want me to be an official?Did I agree? "minister"
"Since we are all ministers, then follow the arrangements! Don't say anything about being young. Who can do the things you do at your age?
If you are able, do your best for the people and the court. If you stay at home and walk your dog all day long, you will be sorry for the land and salary given to you by the court.
If you haven't decided which department to go to, can I arrange it?If you don't like what you want, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm just saying it, but there's no reason to change it overnight. "
Before Ji Song could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.
"You are forcing me!" Ji Song said with a bitter smile.
He never thought that Li Shimin would say this at this time, but when the emperor opened his mouth, there was no reason for Ji Song to refute.
It seems that he said it casually, but in this era of divine right of kings, who dares to really ignore the emperor's words? "You'd better let me think about it!" For a moment, Ji Song didn't have any good ideas and could only say helplessly.
The two of them said nothing until Fang Xuanling came over.
"Your Majesty, we are ready. The envoy has also received a response from Jie Li. He promised to meet at the Weishui River!"
Fang Xuanling knew that time was tight and spoke directly without any nonsense.
"Okay! Let us monarchs and ministers test this Jie Li's courage and see if he can support his ambition!" Li Shimin said with a laugh.
Ji Song looked at the figures of the six people leaving and knew that this alliance would usher in a great era.
Ji Song asked himself, is he ready?
In the face of the Turks' intrusion in history, Li Shimin used his wisdom and courage to resolve the crisis.
He sent the brave general Yuchi Jingde to first frustrate the Turks.
When the Turkic army invaded the hinterland of Li and Tang Dynasties, although Li Shimin promulgated martial law in the capital, he would never sit still and wait to Jingde, the commander-in-chief of the march on Jingzhou Road, fought with the Turks in Jingyang and defeated them. He captured his qijin, Asteh Dewubuchu, and beheaded more than a thousand people.
It can be said that Yuchi Jingde's battle was very beautiful, and it definitely played a role in dampening the Turks' they still failed to make the Turks retreat, and the main Turkic forces further attacked Chang'an.
But what is different from history is that this time there was no beheading of more than a thousand people by Yu , Ji Song defeated the Turkic cavalry twice and wiped out nearly [-] cavalry.
This is much better than in history. Datang also has bargaining chips with the Turks and is no longer a purely weak party.
The annihilation of ten thousand cavalry gave Jieli and Tuli a great shock. It can be seen from the large groups of cavalry looting the surrounding area in the past few days that they cannot afford to lose.
Ji Song was not qualified to go to the alliance and could only wait for news in the military enough, at the time of application, the messenger brought news of the alliance.
Li Shimin personally took action and cursed the Turks angrily, saying that they were dishonest and sent troops to friendly countries without permission.
Facing the 20 Turkic army, Li Shimin did not flinch.
Li Shimin, who has been strong all his life, still showed unparalleled courage this time.
He only took a few people with him to confront the Turks in person.
In a confrontation on the banks of the Weishui River, Li Shimin scolded the Turks for being ashamed, and talked to Jieli across the water, and was responsible for breaking the promise.
The Turks were shocked and all dismounted their horses to worship.
He also used the strategy of suspicious soldiers, so he set up a suspicious formation to frighten the Turks.
There are not many troops around Chang'an City that can be used to resist the Turks, but this is not a problem for Li Shimin.
He selected elite troops from the surrounding areas and frequently appeared in the rear of the Turks, making the Turks mistakenly believe that Chang'an City had sufficient troops. He also threatened Jie Li and said, "I have already prepared the plan, but you don't know about it."
After some psychological tactics, the Turks were really frightened.
"Because of this great fear, I asked for peace and issued an imperial edict."
When Ji Song heard this, he was really frightened by Li Shimin's determination and didn't expect that the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be so courageous. No wonder he could become the emperor of the ages.
Detain Zhi and lose his ability to think, and intimidate Jieli is telling Jie Li: I, the Tang Dynasty, are not afraid of you. If you have the guts, just let your horse come over.
Jieli Khan arranged for Jieli Khan to serve as his envoy to observe the military strength of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City.
But what he didn't expect was that he would be detained by Li Shimin.
In this regard, Li Shimin gave the officials a reason: I am sending him back now, and the captives say that I am afraid of him, and they are even more reckless with the only did he fail to complete his mission, but he became a bargaining chip for Li Shimin to intimidate Jieli Khan.
Coupled with the appearance of Ashina Zhaokui, the Turks were even more shocked!The assessment of Tang Dynasty's strength has become much heavier, and the fear that was already there was suddenly amplified.
At this time, Ji Song was glad that he did not participate in this alliance. If the alliance failed due to his own reasons, Ji Song didn't know what unspeakable things would happen!
Judging from the current situation, the Turks have already decided to retreat. They also raised their troops in a hurry. They were not really prepared to destroy the Tang Dynasty, let alone suffer heavy losses.
Although Jieli is recognized as the great khan in the grassland, Tuli's strength is not much worse than him.
If his losses were too great, he believed that Tuli Khan would never let go of this golden opportunity.
Ask for collection!
