Chapter 151 Offering sheep and horses, Gongmei people

Through the Wei River, I saw Tuli starting to retreat north from afar. Looking at the countless tents, the cattle and horses everywhere retreated like a tide, leaving only a mess. Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and others on the south bank all breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's move of using power to suppress others and commit fraud to retreat from the sudden profit was really dangerous, but it was successful.

Li Shimin stretched out his finger and pointed at Qin Lang, "Hahaha, we succeeded."

Fang Xuanling looked at the little fellow villager and couldn't help but shake his head, "I was on the bridge just now, Huailiang was so forced to do something suddenly. I'm really worried about being random."

Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong's hometown are both from Licheng County, Qizhou. Fang Qin's family have been a local prominent family for hundreds of years in Licheng County. Now Fang Qin and others are in the court. One is a civil servant and prime minister, and the other is a military general to participate in politics. This is a good story. Although they do not have any special contacts in daily life, they will definitely be able to take care of their fellow villagers when they need to take care of them.

"I am also learning from Your Majesty, and I deliberately cheat and make mistakes."

Du Ruhui said, "In addition to Your Majesty's Dragon Power, the main reason for being able to succeed today is Jie Li and Tu Li's internal discord and suspicious of each other, which gives us a chance."

Li Shimin was in a good mood. He praised Qin Lang's entry into the enemy camp in the north of Wei and discovered important information about the internal discord of the Turks, especially the Tang army was able to annihilate it, which deeply shocked Tuli and others. Under various factors, Tuli was hesitant and eventually was shocked.

"Let's go back to Chang'an, now you can let Zhishi Sisi power go back to see Jie Li."

Weibei, Jingyang.

Tuli's army retreated twenty miles and left the north bank of Xiwei Bridge. Jie Li was panicked when he heard the news. Especially after hearing that Li Shimin and Tuli were drinking and swearing together on the bridge, Jie Li was even more panicked.

"What is Tuli trying to do?"

"Yu She and Tuoshi also retreated twenty miles."

Another message was sent back.

Jie Li's energy circled around the tent.

When it was dark, Zhi lost his soul and returned. When he went, he only rode his horse.

As soon as Zhidui's soul entered the tent, he saw Jie Li's roast lamb leg that had not finished eating, and he pounced on him and teared and bitten it, like a hungry tiger going down the mountain.

Jie Li was shocked to see it.

"What's going on?"

Zhi Shishi's power swallowed voraciously and chewed half of the lamb leg, he finally felt that he came back to his senses. He drank a big bowl of horse milk and then truthfully reported to Jie Li all the news he had overheard at the Chang'an Political Affairs Hall of the Tang Dynasty.

Jie Li's lips trembled when he heard this.

"No wonder Li Shimin suddenly went to Tuli today, no wonder Tuli suddenly retreated twenty miles. Could it be that Yu Sheshi and Tuoshi followed him, damn, they betrayed me!"

After hearing what happened at Xiwei Bridge today, Zhishili became more sure that he had eavesdropped on the truth of the news.

"The Khan, the fact is obvious. The Khan was dissatisfied with the Khan who inherited the Khan throne, but now he is secretly colluding with the King of Tang."

"King, now Tuli gave up the north bank of Xiwei Bridge, and the Tang army can cross the bridge at any time to go north. The Tang army has already deployed Li Shiji and Zhang Gongjin's 100,000 troops in the east, Qu Tutong in the southeast, and Huang Junhan's 100,000 troops in the northwest Li Yi department and Li Jing's 100,000 troops in the northwest. Our situation is critical."

Jie Li sat down and stood up again.

If there was no important information verification of Zhidui's power, then the meeting between Li Shimin and Tuli might not have thought that it was so bad, but now the verification of this news is enough to show that Tuli is really colluding with Tangren.

There is also Yu Sheshi, and this guy has long been incompatible with him.

Even Tuoshi, when Luo Khan died, many people wanted to support him as Khan, and they were definitely dissatisfied with him.

Thinking of this, Jie Li couldn't help but feel relieved.

Tuli, Yu She and the three groups of people were already more than 100,000. If he colluded with the Tang people and turned against each other at a critical moment, he would be really done.

"Khan, I will take someone to question Tuli in person why he betrayed!" a special agent shouted.

Jie Li just snorted coldly. At this time, what is the use of asking Tuli to question?

Zhi Shishi thought to persuade Jie Li, "Khan, I think it is not appropriate to go to Tuli for the crime at the moment. We must first consider the current situation. The Tang King has gathered a large army of 500,000. If Tuli turns against him again, then we will be too dangerous. What's more, Li Jing is still on the line of Lingyan and can cut off our way back at any time. I think we miscalculated this time, and had to be deceived by Tuli and Li Shimin, so we can't stay here anymore. We have to retreat immediately."

"It's not that easy to retreat if you want to retreat." Jie Li shook his head.

"Then we will make peace agreement with the King of Tang."

If there was chaos within the Turkic army, there would be no chance, especially since the Tang army had annihilated 10,000 Wuzhuo in two battles. Jie Li was also shocked by such powerful combat power. Now Tu Li has a rebellious relationship.

"I really miscalculated this time." Jie Li sighed.

I thought that Li Shimin's military transformation and seizing the throne was unstable, and his hundreds of thousands of troops would lead to chaos in the Li Tang Dynasty. But who could have expected that the facts were completely opposite.

Nowadays, even a slightly more decent city has not been able to take down one. The food and grass are endless, the retreat is unstable, and the sudden sharpness and other secret rebellions are still secretly rebelling.

"Zhi Wuxi's power is so strong that you can go to Chang'an again and make an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to seek peace. Let's say that we are here to congratulate the succession of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

After the decision, Jie Li also ordered a retreat twenty miles and retreat eastward to avoid Tuli's troops, just in case.

Chang'an.

After the emperor's nine cavalry retreated and gained 100,000 troops, the atmosphere in Chang'an City changed drastically. As the past was suppressed and tense, everyone became more confident and calm. Especially yesterday, they followed the emperor to Weiqiao and saw with their own eyes how the emperor was calm and how he scared away the 100,000 Turkic troops with just his words. They all believed that the Turkic could not conquer the city of Chang'an this time.

Even various rumors began to spread, saying that the Turks were about to withdraw their troops, and that Tuli had already kneeled down to His Majesty and surrendered.

Zhishili crossed the Wei Bridge again, and what he saw was completely different from the last scene.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were extremely powerful and had strict armor.

The people are confident and calm.

Chang'an City, East Palace, and Xiande Hall.

As soon as Zhishishi entered the hall, he immediately knelt down and bowed to his head, shouting to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live long live long live long live long, no more arrogance than the last time.

"Zhi Wushu's power of thinking, I have let you go back, why do you dare to step into Chang'an City again?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I came here this time on the order of the Great Khan of Jie Li to congratulate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the ascension of the throne. This is the congratulations list of my Khan!"

Zhimo Sili was given a letter, and the eunuch took it and submitted it.

Li Shimin didn't answer, "Read."

"The Turkic horses are three thousand, ten thousand sheep are, and twenty Turkic beauties are twenty."

Li Shimin laughed, "Jie Li is intent. Since he is here to be a guest, why not speak out earlier? I have accepted this gift."

After accepting Jie Li's rituals, Li Shimin re-selled them but rewarded them all to his ministers.

The eight horses who went out of the city with the emperor yesterday gave each of them two Turkic beauties, ten horses and hundreds of sheep. The remaining horses were given to the lieutenant generals and the sheep were given to the Chang'an defenders.

Zhishishili submitted another letter, but it was Jie Li's letter of agreement.

Li Shimin just refused coldly, saying that the Tang Dynasty and Jie Li had already formed several alliances, but Jie Li tore up the alliance letter and invaded each time after forming an alliance, so the Tang Dynasty no longer believed in Jie Li.

"Your Majesty, my Khan said that the previous alliance was made with the Emperor Wude. Now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, he must also have another alliance with the new emperor. After this agreement, he will not violate each other again."

"I don't believe it if Jie Li speaks without trusting it."

Xiao Yu and Feng Lun came up to persuade him at this time and acted as peacemakers.

After the two of them talked hard for a long time, Li Shimin finally felt a little loose.

"The covenant is OK, but it cannot be done in the previous way. Just follow the customs on your prairie. Jie Li takes the initiative to ask for peace and alliance, so let him offer tribute and send his daughter to marry him."

After some bargaining, Zhi Shisili verbally agreed to bring five thousand horses and 30,000 cattle and sheep, and agreed to pay 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep to the Tang Dynasty every year. In addition, Zhi Shisili agreed and went back to ask Jie Li for instructions, and asked the Khan to send his daughter to the Tang court to marry him.

After the talk, Zhi Shishili rushed back to the Weibei camp without stopping, and then returned to Chang'an after getting the result.

Jie Li refused to agree with Li Shimin's conditions, so he proposed another plan. This time he was willing to double the previous three thousand horses and ten thousand sheep. Then every year, the Turks could offer 5,000 horses to Tang, but this offer was not a waste of money, and the Tang Dynasty needed to give back 100,000 silk every year.

This is equivalent to changing silk and horses. One horse is exchanged for twenty silk. At present, the price is fair. After all, if the Turks directly sent horses to Chang'an, the price would be almost so much.

But Li Shimin was unwilling to do so.

"Ma, I don't want it anymore. You will send back Wen Yanbo, the Minister of the Secretariat, who was captured last year. In addition, the Han people who have been plundering to the grasslands over the years will also return it. As for you to use horses and silk, I have now opened the border horse market in Youzhou, so you can go to the U-Yi."

Zhishili didn't expect that the King of Tang would actually disagree with Silk Horse U-Yi.

Zhidui's soul power left Chang'an again to repay Jie Li.

In Xiande Hall, the king and his subjects are still discussing matters.

"I think that the silk-horse change proposed by Jie Li is a good thing. It is not a loss to exchange 100,000 silk for 5,000 horses every year." Feng Deyi said.

The main objections were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. They believed that even if the peace agreement was made, the Tang Dynasty would have to take the initiative. Even if the silk and horse market was to be traded with silk and horses, it could not be added to this alliance. As the emperor said, there was already a horse market on the border of Youzhou, and it could be completely changed there, so it would not be included in the peace agreement.

The emperor asked the ministers for their opinions, and finally asked Qin Lang.
