The third update is here! Thank you for your birthday rewards and blessings, thank you!

Youzhou.

The guards of the East Palace put on a dark gold cloak embroidered by gold. The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the Marshal of the Northern Expedition Army. Under the protection of the Qianniu and the guards of the East Palace, they slowly walked to the table.

This is the Youzhou Army.

Jundu Pass, which is the Juyong Pass in later generations, is the gateway to the northwest of Youzhou, and is connected to Jin and Tong Pass.

The wide table was made of logs temporarily, and the wood also exuded a fragrance.

On both sides of the long table, famous generals gathered.

Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao, Dou Lu, Duan Lun, Dou Dan......

Li Shentong, Li Daozong, Changsun Shunde, Qian Jiuyue, Fan Shixing, Yang Mao, An Xiuren, Wang Changkai, Shi Danai, Shi Wanbao...

Wei Ting, Feng Li...

Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Wang Junkuo, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Wu Heita, Li Junxian...

Every military general with full dresses is famous and extremely brave.

But at this moment, they were all focused on Jundu Pass and stood behind Li Jiancheng.

The stars shine, and fierce generals gather.

Since Li Jiancheng led his troops to Hebei, three elite Guanzhong legions gathered in Hebei and Shandong, Li Jiancheng had 100,000 troops.

With a wide range of soldiers, Li Jiancheng commanded the army and launched consecutive battles with Gao Kaidao and the Turkic army in the Youji area. Although the Turkic army had the advantages of cavalry, the elite troops of the Tang army also had the power of bows and crossbows. The two sides fought one after another, and each other was damaged.

However, the Turks did not get any benefits from the Tang army, especially in the Great Wall. The Tang army relied on the numerous cities and forts in Youji area to form a tight defensive line, which can attack and retreat or defend.

The Turkic cavalry did not have much advantage here.

Repeated fights.

Youji became a meat mincing field.

Li Jiancheng's advisers were like rain, fierce generals were like clouds, and soldiers were brave.

The more they fought, the more they struggled. One city after another was recovered by the Tang army, and the more they fought, the more they retreated. Three days ago, the four princes, Qin Qiong, Dou Dan, Duan Lun and Chai Shao, unified the army and successfully surrounded Gao Kaidao. The two sides fought against the Sanggan River. Although Gao Kaidao fought to the death to break through, they were finally stabbed to death by Qin Qiong, the general of the Yulin Army, the governor of Tongzhou, the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Minister of War Yiguo Duke.

The rebels under Gao Kaidao were scattered like birds and beasts, and most of them were captured.

Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Wang Junkuo, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche eight generals fought against the Turkic cavalry at the military gate, defeated the Turkic army and killed more than 5,000.

These two battles laid the foundation for the victory of the Tang army in Youji, and the Turks abandoned their troops and retreated to Weizhou and Yunzhou.

Li Yuanji also made good progress on the battlefield in Hedong. He took advantage of the opportunity when Li Jiancheng restrained a large number of Turkic troops in Hebei and launched frequent attacks on the Turkic army with Li Shiji, Su Dingxing, Princess Pingyang and others.

The intensive attacks and battles made the Turks very annoyed.

Especially Li Shiji was in Taiyuan and Daizhou, and established a strong wall and clearing the fields, making it impossible for the Turkic army to plunder on the spot and use war to support the war.

On the western front, Luo Yi defeated Liang Shidu and beheaded more than 10,000 people.

A series of news came to Jie Li Khan's ears, and in the end he felt that he had underestimated the Tang army and planned to retreat outside the Great Wall first.

Li Jiancheng wanted to pursue the victory, but Wei Zheng and Wang Gui tried to persuade him. In the end, Li Jiancheng took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and defeat the Turkic Khanate and directly attacked the Turkic Khanate to attack Dingxiang.

Li Jiancheng sent someone to pass on a message to the Turks and proposed peace talks.

Jie Li agreed and sent his nephew Tuli's young Khan Ashinashbori to discuss peace. Tuli was Jie Li's nephew and the son of Shibi Khan. He was only in his early twenties this year, but he was responsible for the rule of the eastern tribes. Khitan, Xi, Tiel, Shiwei and other tribes were all under his jurisdiction. When Shibi Khan died, he was still too young, so his uncle Shilifu succeeded to the throne and became Chuluo Khan.

When Chuluo Khan died, his younger brother Jie Li succeeded to the throne because of his young age.

The negotiations between Li Jiancheng and Tuli Khan were progressing very quickly, and Tuli representative Jie Li made three requests to the Tang Dynasty.

Let the Tang Dynasty marry, surrender and pay tribute!

When the Tang Dynasty first started its rebellion, it did borrow troops from the Turks and even paid tribute. But once and forth, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to accept such conditions.

Besides, this time the Tang army was defeated first and then won.

With the efforts of Wei Zheng and others, the Turks finally made concessions and did not require the Tang to submit to the Turks, but Tang had to send the princess to the Turks to marry the Turks. The daughter of the Emperor of Tang married the son of Jie Li Khan. In this way, Tang and the Turks were relatives, Jie Li Khan and the Emperor of Tang were brothers, and Tang and the Turks were brothers.

In addition, the Turks would send 1,000 horses, 3,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep as a gift.

The Tang Dynasty had to dowry ten thousand slaves, 40,000 pieces of silk, 5,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 kilograms of tea.

It is like an ordinary family who has a daughter and a wife, such as a bride or a dowry. In fact, it is just a name that is changed to be nicer. After all, this is still a tribute.

One thousand horses exchanged for 40,000 silk, which is a fair deal. It is very fair to exchange for 40 silk for a horse. But the Tang people also had to send 10,000 dowry slaves, five thousand taels of gold and ten thousand kilograms of tea, which was much more expensive than the three thousand cows and ten thousand sheep of the Turks.

Fortunately, the agreement finally reached is not tribute every year.

But marriage is humiliating after all.

But Wei Zheng and the others advised Li Jiancheng to stop when he saw it was better. Although the Turks were defeated for several battles, the casualties were only 10,000. The ones with the real casualties were Liang Shidu, Gao Kaidao and Yuan Junzhang, and several Turkic puppet forces.

Recovering lost territory and maintaining it to the pre-war boundary, this is already a good result.

Jie Li was willing to stop when he saw it. Although the purpose of the southern expedition was not achieved, it tested the strength of the Tang army. In addition, they did not come in vain. The people who robbed were a lot of money. Now they could still marry a Tang Dynasty princess and also make a lot of money in the Tang Dynasty. Jie Li was very satisfied.

He believed that after this war, the Tang army would be honest in the future and dare not miss the annual tributes that he had agreed to before.

Although one of the three dogs I raised died, Liang Shidao and Yuan Junzhang were still there, and Gao Kaidao's remaining soldiers were still some of them, so I could just pull them up. The lackeys lost a lot of strength, so they could control them better, and they became increasingly inseparable from the Turks.

Both sides had their own plans, so the negotiations were finally reached.

As the head coach of the Tang army this time, Li Jiancheng fought in Hebei, but the achievements he achieved in Hedong and Shuofang battlefields were also his.

What a great achievement to lead the troops across the country, severely inflict the Turks and force the Turks to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Li Jiancheng could only sit in Chang'an City, waiting for the good news sent back from the Qin King's front line. Listening to the impressive achievements of Qin King over 3,500,000, capturing two kings in one battle, capturing the Central Plains in one year, and pacifying Hebei in March, Li Jiancheng was both happy, but also envious, and even a little jealous.

He is the crown prince and the crown prince of the country.

Except for the beginning of the rebellion, he led several troops, but later he basically had no chance to leave Chang'an City.

He was very uneasy when Shimin relied on the opportunity of commanding troops, his military influence became higher and higher with his military achievements, and even when the prestige among the people became very high.

This time, he made up his mind to come and finally won the battle. He did not win as big as he planned, but it was indeed a victory, and he lost all the ground and also killed the capricious Gao Kaidao.

In addition, during this Hebei battle, Li Jiancheng also took the opportunity to meet with many generals in the army.

"Oh, the weather is pretty good today, the sun is shining and the wind is warm!" Li Jiancheng sat down, smiling, and did not hide his complacent look in his heart.

After this battle, he had proved to the people of the world that the King of Qin was not the only one who led troops to fight. The Tang Dynasty was not allowed to do so without the King of Qin.

Tuli Xiao Khan walked to the opposite table and sat down.

"Turi Little Khan, do you have any doubts about the peace agreement proposed by the Tang Dynasty?"

Tuli, wearing a sheepskin robe, is very young, but his eyes are very sophisticated.

He sat there, his eyes did not stop at Li Jiancheng. His eyes were always on the fierce armored generals behind Li Jiancheng, including Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Luo Shixin.

These people are the protagonists who caused the Turks to suffer a secret loss this time. Unfortunately, they could only stand there in armor and serve as a guard for Li Jiancheng.

"No doubt."

"Then sign the contract!"

"Yeah, sign." Tuli replied with a smile.

The peace agreement was signed, and the war was over. This time the Turks divided their troops south and brought three dogs to destroy countless cities and villages. Nearly 100,000 people were abducted. A large number of villages and towns were destroyed by the war and turned into white land.

The winter wheat in many places in Hedong, Hebei was about to be harvested, but was cut into grass by these Turks. Those who could not be taken away were set on fire and trampled on by horses.

Hebei and northern Hedong suffered extremely heavy losses.

Tuli gained a lot, and he captured more than 30,000 Han people, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and other livestock. In addition, he captured the city and the pond, and the gold, silver, silk jewelry that he captured were often satisfied.

Jie Li also agreed to give him another batch of spoils. With Gao Kaidao's death, his defeated generals and territory were actually his.

He secretly despised Li Jiancheng in his heart. Tang Jun suffered such great losses, and he was still smiling happily. What's so happy about him?

After signing the letter, Tuli left with his contract written in Turkic.

In his eyes, the contract was just a piece of paper and was useless. As long as the Tang people became unhonest one day, the Turks would be happy to go south at any time. Just a piece of paper, and can they control the Turkic Iron Cavalry?

He breached the contract, so what can he do?

What you can really rely on is the knife and bow in your hand, not the paper and pen!

Li Jiancheng held the peace letter and looked left and right, very happy.

On the way back to Youzhou, he kept watching immediately.

When I arrived in Youzhou City, I put it away carefully and put it in a sandalwood box.

"Your Highness, there is news about Longyou."

Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Feng Li came in.

"It's news from the King of Qin, but it's okay to say it." Li Jiancheng didn't care so much when he heard Li Shimin's name. From now on, Li Shimin will not be his threat.

Wei Zheng and Wang Gui winked at each other.

"I just received the news that the King of Qin led 10,000 troops to support Weizhou, and was surrounded by 60,000 Tuyuhun's army in Longxi City!"

"Shimin was surrounded by Tuyuhun's army in Longxi City, with only 10,000 soldiers?" Li Jiancheng looked up suddenly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
