Li Jing immediately took a step forward, bowed to An Xiuren with a smile on his face and said, "General An is here too! I am in a hurry to welcome you!"

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be too polite!" An Xiuren bowed and replied.

Then, Tang Jian and An Xiuren met with other generals stationed in Baidao one by one.

"Why is the deputy general manager not here? Before Tang came, he heard that the marching of Tongmo Road had already met with General Manager Li here." Tang Jian suddenly asked.

"In order to prevent Turkic tribes from causing trouble, the march of Tongmodao has gone to other places to garrison." Li Jing said perfunctorily.

"Yes." Tang Jian nodded slightly and did not continue to ask.

Li Jing led Tang Jian and An Xiuren into the tent, accompanied by other generals.

"Does the emperor have given the imperial edict to this general manager?" Li Jing asked after sitting down.

"There is no imperial edict, there is an oral edict." Tang Jian stood up as he said.

Seeing this, everyone in the tent stood up immediately.

"The emperor ordered that Li Jing, as the chief marching officer of various marches, could make decisions based on the battlefield situation, without always reporting to the court." Tang Jian said with a serious expression.

"Abide by the order!" Li Jing felt happy and hurriedly bowed.

Although the emperor's oral order did not clearly state it, what kind of person Li Jing was, he naturally understood the emperor's meaning.

The implication of the emperor's words was to ask Li Jing to find a fighter opportunity to destroy Jie Li's troops. In other words, the emperor sent an envoy to Tieshan, not really for peace talks.

Among the people present, in addition to Li Jing's understanding of the true meaning of the emperor's oral order, Li Zaigu also understood it.

Like Li Jing, Li Zaigu knew clearly that the emperor would not let Jie Li go like this. For three years, the emperor has worked hard to govern and prepare for the troops to eliminate Jie Li's troops.

Now Jie Li takes the initiative to seek peace, which means that Jie Li has already lost his skills. If he misses this opportunity, it is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. If Jie Li breathes, he will continue to invade the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Before leaving Chang'an, the emperor also instructed Tang and General An that if the general manager needs the assistance of Tang and General An, he must do his best." Tang Jian continued.

Hearing this, Li Jing and Li Zaigu understood the meaning of the emperor even more.

"Okay, it's so great!" Li Jing couldn't help but say happily, "If Duke of Ju and General An help, it would be easier to capture Tieshan."

Tang Jian and An Xiuren couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at Li Jing in doubt.

"To be honest, Duke Ju and General An, we are about to send troops to capture Tieshan and capture Jie Li alive." Li Jing said with a smile on his face.

Tang Jian frowned and said anxiously: "General Manager Li, the emperor has agreed to Jie Li's peace agreement and sent us to Tieshan to enter into an alliance with Jie Li. If General Manager Li sends troops to capture Tieshan, he will disobey the imperial edict."

"Duke Ju is a little calm." Li Jing said calmly with his expression and tone, "Jiang's oral order has been explained very clearly just now. This general manager can make a decision based on the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, it is not considered a violation of the imperial edict if this general manager wants to send troops to capture Tieshan."

After a little pause, Li Jing immediately said, "Since the Lord ordered Duke Ju and General An to assist this general manager, he said that the Lord sent Duke Ju and General An to envoy Tieshan, which had other plans. Think carefully, since the Wei River Alliance, the Lord has thought about destroying Jie Li's troops and capturing Jie Li alive to wash away the shame. How could he really negotiate peace? The Lord General supposed that peace talks about is just a smoke. The Lord's real purpose is to paralyze Jie Li with this so that the Tang army can take the opportunity to capture Tieshan."

Tang Jian frowned again and looked at An Xiuren again.

An Xiuren nodded as if he understood.

"Duke of Ju, General An, and this general manager may as well say it directly. In fact, we have discussed countermeasures, and this strategy requires your assistance to be better completed." Li Jing's face turned solemn.

Tang Jian and An Xiuren immediately stared at Li Jing in confusion.

So Li Jing told Tang Jian and An Xiuren all the strategies proposed by Li Zaigu.

After hearing this, Tang Jian's expression changed.

An Xiuren frowned slightly and looked calm.

"Mr. Li, this plan sounds good, but Tang and General An will be in danger at any time. Can only two hundred soldiers protect us from safety?" Tang Jian said with some concern.

"Duke Ju doesn't have to worry. If Duke Ju and General An are put in danger, they will accept any punishment!" Li Zaigu couldn't help but stand up with a firm look on his face and a firm tone.

Although Tang Jian had long heard of Li Zaigu's courage and strategy, he was still not at ease enough.

The corners of his mouth moved, and he was about to raise an objection, An Xiuren, who was beside him, first responded: "I believe in General Li, and I believe in General Li. Since he can propose such a strategy, it means he is sure to ensure our safety."

"but……"

"Duke Ju does not need to worry. With this general accompanying you, you will definitely not be harmed by Duke Ju!" An Xiuren interrupted Tang Jian.

"Duke Ju, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, we want to eat the king's salary and bear the worries of the king!" Li Jing said again, "Now is the best time to wipe out Jie Li's troops and capture Jie Li alive. If you miss it, you will never be able to miss it. Moreover, if the Duke Ju can help us wipe out Jie Li's troops, the Duke Ju will definitely be promoted to the position of the emperor in the future."

Li Jing said this, and Tang Jian couldn't object anymore. After all, Li Jing had already made arrangements, and it was not his turn to object.

Besides, he also saw the situation clearly. Everyone present supported Li Jing, and even An Xiuren did not object. Even if he opposed it alone, it would be useless.

He will do his best and fail to succeed!

"Okay, Tang obeys General Manager Li's orders and cooperates with the army to capture Tieshan." Tang Jian straightened his body and said with his head high.

Li Jing laughed and said, "With Duke of Ju and General An help, Tieshan is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty!"

Everyone in the account smiled, and everyone was confident.

"Duke of Ju, General An came from afar, and was exhausted. Please go down and rest first, and then set out to Tieshan tomorrow."

Under the leadership of the guards, Tang Jian and An Xiuren walked out of the general manager's tent and went to rest elsewhere.

Li Jing dispatched troops and made final preparations.

The next day, heavy snow in the sky continued.

The two hundred elite soldiers led by Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang replaced Tang Jian and An Xiuren's guards and attendants.

The 200 elite soldiers led by Li Zaigu and Su Dingfang pretended to be the guards and attendants of Tang Jian and An Xiuren, and escorted Tang Jian and An Xiuren to Tieshan.

After they set off for an hour, Li Jing led other soldiers to secretly approach the periphery of Tieshan with the cover of heavy snow and set up an ambush.

When Jie Li Khan and his counselors proposed a truce between the two sides, they were still skeptical about whether the Tang army was really willing to truce, and were always on guard. However, after receiving the news, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had sent envoys to enter into an alliance, so he relaxed his guard.

Jie Li and his advisers believed that since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to enter into the alliance, it means that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agreed to the peace agreement and would naturally truce. Moreover, the spies sent by Jie Li also found out that the Tang army led by Li Jing stopped advancing in Baidao.
