In the winter of the first year of Zhenguan, the war between the Tang Empire and the Turks in the north was not large in terms of scale. A full-scale war had not yet begun, but it ended abruptly. With a precise lure battle like Li Chao's scalpel, he wiped out 100,000 Turkic vanguards, which made the war between the two countries end at the beginning.

Although the Turks lost 100,000 people, the war did not last long, and the Tang army dispatched only tens of thousands of troops and even fewer casualties. Therefore, this can only be regarded as a border conflict that ended without success.

The commander of the northern Tang Dynasty, the chief secretary of the Shangzhu National Procuratorate, and the secretary of the Central Secretariat and the secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, the Zuowei, led Li Chao to stop when he saw the opportunity and signed the peace agreement between the two sides, and the war ended there.

After the war ended, Ye Hu, the commander, withdrew his troops, and asked his son Ye Huli and his uncle Mo Hedu Khan to lead their troops back to the Western Regions, leaving Yushe and Yugu to separate the eastern and western parts of the desert. He personally led a group of generals including Tuoshi to return to the northern part of the desert to attack Tiel.

Originally, the matter was just a matter of a conclusion.

But no one expected that Yu Shezhai would send people to assassinate Li Chao. After the assassination failed, he led 8,000 cavalry south to intercept Li Chao despite the peace agreement. What was even more unexpected was that the eight thousand wolf cavalry intercepted Li Chao thousands of miles away. In a battle in Fengzhou, Li Chao was defeated by two thousand cavalry.

Yu Sheshe was captured and surrendered, leading thousands of remaining troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

When the news came back to Xiangyang, Li Shimin was shocked and unbelievable.

This story is really ups and downs, and the speed of the transformation is shocking.

The Six Gates soon reported details about the Battle of Fengzhou, and the eunuch in charge of the Six Gates submitted this information to the emperor.

After hearing this, Li Shimin replied briefly, "Li Chao is indeed bold, but he is also very capable. He is truly a master of art and courage. I am not surprised by defeating 8,000 with two thousand. What I am surprised is that he can actually capture Yu Sheshi alive and convince him to surrender. This is really unexpected."

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin certainly knew that the biggest foreign enemy of the Tang Dynasty was the grassland. Now that the grassland was unified in the hands of Tongye Guard, the unified Turks would inevitably become a major concern of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Li Chao captured Yu She who crossed the border and rushed south alive and made him surrender. This was a big deal.

Yu Sheshe used to control Henan, and after he protected Ye in the main grassland, he divided him into the west of the desert. The surrender of such an important figure can be said to have greatly changed the abrupt situation.

"This Li Chao can always create these unexpected and surprising things. Loufan Pass completely wiped out Tuli's 100,000 Tuli's army and killed Tuli Khan. Now Fengzhou City has broken through eight thousand wolf cavalry, captured Yu Sheshi alive, and made him surrender. I am really convinced!"

Compared with the previous battle of Loufanguan, the battle in Fengzhou was only half a day, and the total strength of both sides was only 10,000. For Li Shimin, a war of this scale, it was not necessary to take it seriously. However, this battle left Yu Sheshi, one of the two major institutions left by Tongye Hu in the south of the desert, captured Yu Sheshi alive and persuaded surrender. This was different.

After losing the Yinshan Mountains, the Turks were actually still large in the desert. Although the territory was still large, they had no strategic support points, and the territory was narrow and long and lacked support.

This narrow and long area is divided into two parts, east and west, and is assigned to Yushe and Yugu to guard it. Now that Yushe has descended, there is only Yugu in the east left in the desert.

It is even more difficult to support the establishment of a valley.

Yu Sheshe's surrender was not the surrender of a Turkic nobleman, but the Turks were south of the desert, and the situation was very bad. If the Tang Dynasty counterattacked, Yu Gu Shi would be isolated and helpless.

If the Tang Dynasty took down Yugushi, then Tongye Hu would lose the south of the desert. At that time, he would be in the north of the desert and the west of the desert, and the situation would be very different.

The Tang Dynasty was able to lean on Yinshan Mountain, block the desert, and deal with the Turks with great strategic situation.

So, Li Shimin saw at a glance that taking down Yu Sheshi will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.

Li Shimin, who is nearly thirty years old, has recently added a lot of majesty and maturity to his resolute face. He has to consider too many things to do in governing such a huge country.

Li Shimin never dared to slack off in the defense of the northern region. Since its founding, the Tang Dynasty had been under pressure and threats from the Turks. After finally stragging Jie Li, he also brought him to Xiangyang, but Ye Hu came again and unified the grassland, which made the situation in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty worse and worse.

Fortunately, Li Chao turned the tide and blocked the Turks' attack at the critical moment. Now he even set a Yu Shoot to persuade him to surrender.

Li Shimin didn't know how to thank Li Chao.

The eunuch Wang withdrew, and Li Shimin meditated alone.

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly burst into laughter.

Hahahahahahaha!

I couldn't stop laughing.

Yu Sheshi crossed the boundary and intercepted Li Chao, but was killed by Li Chao. Yu Sheshi was captured alive and then surrendered to surrender?

Jie Li surrendered, Tu Li was killed, and now Yu Sheshi surrendered again? If we include Li Simo who surrendered before, Mo Hedu Khan who had secretly reached an agreement with Li Chao, and Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan who was supported by the Tang Dynasty and was now following Tongye Hu to fight to the death, it is said that Tongye Hu actually has a hard life.

In addition, Li Chao had previously suggested that the court send envoys to contact the Khitan, Kumoxi, Jun, Shiwei and other northeastern tribes. If they could persuade them to rebel against the Turks, even if they were on the fence and wait and see, they would no longer obey the Turks' orders, this would be a major blow to the Turks.

When Tongye Hu took advantage of the situation and the Turkic tribes surrendered to him, Li Shimin's heart was always hanging, and he was even quite depressed for a while. After all, Tongye Hu developed with peace of mind in the Western Regions. The Western Turkic Western Regions had developed for more than ten years, and its strength was recovered very well. After Tongye Hu took over the eastern grassland, his strength soared, and the Tang Dynasty really didn't have much confidence to fight him.

But now, Li Shimin was relieved.

So what if Tong Ye Hu became a Turkic Khan?

So what if he controls the string forty or five hundred thousand?

He was ambitious and ambitious invasion to the south, but he was defeated so miserably in the first battle.

Tuli had 100,000 vanguards, but they were all in the Huihe Valley under Loufan Pass. Li Chao only used 50,000 people to destroy Tuli's army. With one move, he forced Ye Hu to retreat his troops.

Li Shimin suddenly saw through Tongye Hu's reality and reality, that is, a paper tiger. He looked extremely powerful, but in fact he was very weak.

Now looking at it, Yu Sheshi was not really convinced by Ye Hu, otherwise he would not have ignored his orders, nor would he surrender directly after his defeat.

The Tiel people in the north of the Mohe refused to surrender to Ye Hu, and the Khitan tribes in the east must have been waiting and watching.

If we could use Mo Hedu Khan to burn the fire in the Western Regions nest where Yehu was the one who could use Yedu to burn, then things would be great.

Tongye Hu, Tongye Hu, you should never come to the east, let alone invade the south.

In the past, the Great Khan Jie Li of the Eastern Turks was now his guest of honor. Now Yu Sheshe is coming again. Two of the most influential leaders of the Eastern Turks are now in the Tang Dynasty.

It would be a great thing if he didn't kill Tuli last time but surrendered him to the prisoner, which would be a pity. However, until now, Li Shimin still admires Li Chao very much. This trick was beautiful, beyond everyone's expectations.

I really want to know what kind of expression would Tong Ye Hu have if he knew the news that Yu Sheshi had joined the Tang Dynasty.

He was originally troubled by the court's deficit, and he was in a good mood for a while.

"Report to Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhao has just given birth to a son."

Li Shimin looked up and pinched his chin. Li Chao had a son again. Alas, it was a bit of a pity that Li Chao was delayed on the road and could not catch up with his wife to give birth.

"This is Li Chao's third son, and his seventh son?"

"Your Majesty, he is indeed the seventh son of Li Xiang. Before Li Xiang went to war, he had already given Li Qilang a good name, with a single name."

"Li Feng, a good name. The Li family is all named after the beautiful jade and will definitely become a handsome young man in the future." After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that Li Chao had made great contributions again, and the rewards for his previous contributions were not worthy of rewards, so he simply gave Li Chao a double happiness this time.

"I passed the imperial edict and granted the title of Li Jia Qilang Li Qi as the founding marquis of Wuyuan County, and granted a hundred miles of territory on the sea of ​​Annan Ximan."

The eunuchs and palace maids on the side were all secretly shocked when they heard this. Li Qilang had just been born and landed, but he was already named the founding marquis of the founding marquis with his father's merits. There were still real marquises with the territories of Baili Zhen, which was so enviable.

Their father is a good birth. His father is the prime minister and his mother is also a legitimate wife from a famous family. Among the other six brothers of Li Qilang, they are also dukes, but the only one who can get the title of Baili Zhen is his two legitimate brothers. The other couples have the title of Zhenqi, and they are all dozens of miles, but there are no Baili Zhenqi.

The eunuch received the order and happily went to Li's mansion to announce the order.

Everyone in the palace was willing to announce the imperial edict to the Li Mansion because the Li Mansion was the most generous and would never return empty-handed once. Moreover, Li Xiang was so trusted by the emperor, and they were happy to get to know Li Xiang. Even if they were eunuchs, they still had relatives and clan members outside. When needed, they had to find Li Xiang if they had something, and even just needed to find the manager of the Li Mansion. Sometimes they could help them solve big problems with just one word.

When doing things in the Li family, they are always very generous and happy.

The decree was passed to Li's mansion.

The whole family of Li's mansion was immediately happy.

Especially Cui Yingying, whose son was just born, was granted the title of marquis. Her eldest son was the emperor's son-in-law, and her second son was also the county marquis. Now her third son has also been granted the title of marquis. How can she not be happy?

Originally, because my husband was unable to rush home to accompany him to give birth, he left with the wind.

"Congratulations to Madam, the three joys are here. In this joy, the Prime Minister's Mansion will add another Lin'er. Second joys, the Prime Minister has made great contributions in Fengzhou. Third joys, Qilang is granted the title of county marquis by His Majesty and a fief of hundreds of miles."

Cui Yingying drank the old ginseng soup after giving birth, and her spirit recovered well. Of course, she still had to see the angels in person. After hearing the eunuch's good words, her eyebrows were flying. With a wave of her hand, the housekeeper came up with a gift box.
