Chapter 999: Shameless Opponent
999. Shameless opponents
"Khan, don't, how can my Great Turk have surrendered for hundreds of years, this is a shame, this is a shame for my Great Turk, you can't surrender." As soon as the words fell, a big leader came out indignantly and waved his arms and said, his face full of humiliation and anger.
At this moment, they all seemed to have abandoned their fear of Lili and defended the dignity of their steppe warriors without hesitation, but Lili stretched out his hands and pressed them and shouted: "Quiet, listen to Ben Khan's details."
The ministers also quieted down and waited for the words of the reli, no matter how the li, although the prestige of the sublime has dropped greatly, but the control of the Turks is still very high, and the various tribes on the steppe are controlled to the death.
"Looking at the current war situation, it is very unfavorable to our great Turks, Ben Khan wanted to stay in the cold, the Tang army will definitely withdraw if it is not tolerant of the cold, how can I expect the Tang army to have this thing, you see." As he spoke, he picked up a few Tang Army jackets around him and threw them over.
The ministers looked puzzled, looked at it carefully, and said again: "This thing is very warm to wear on the body, and there is no fear of severe cold at all, the harsh winter of the steppe is a ghost gate for my Turkic warriors, but for the Tang army, it can be spent just by wearing such an extra jacket." Therefore, Ben Khan decided to temporarily surrender to the Tang State, and when the spring of the next year is open and the grass is green and the horses are fat, he will move to Mobei, where there are nine surnamed Tiele who belong to my Great Turk, where the water and grass are abundant, my Great Turk can rest and recuperate there, and when the time is ripe, the strength will be restored, and then fight back, in the words of the Han people, it is to lie down and taste the gall, and make a comeback." Speaking of Lili, he also gritted his teeth, and was very gloomy.
It seems that this series of defeats has made the Khan seem to be much more sober, less violent and impulsive, and more vicious and treacherous than before.
When the ministers heard that you look at me and I look at you, they all nodded in agreement, "The Khan's plan is very good, as long as he doesn't really surrender to Tang Dog, that's fine", the previous tribal leader echoed and shouted.
Li Li looked at the stubborn Sili, "Sili, you are proficient in Chinese, familiar with Han etiquette, and have been to the Central Plains many times, this time you will be an envoy to ask the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to surrender, remember, you must let the Tang army retreat, you must give me the opportunity for the Great Turks to come to Dongshan to make a comeback, and when you come back, you must be the only one who has the position of Dagan." He looked at the stubborn and thoughtless sitting in the hall with burning eyes.
He understands the people of the Central Plains, knows that the people of the Central Plains have the best face, as long as they ask to surrender, the ministers of the Tang State who read the books of the sages will definitely let the emperor of the Tang State withdraw from the army, but the Khan's plan is very wonderful.
Immediately, he patted his chest in response.
Above the desert, boundless, it seems that there is no boundary, and it is easy to lose direction if you are not careful, although Li Pojun has found several senior guides, but in the white and snowy desert, it is also desperate to go.
It turned out that Li Jing's men and horses had already left, and when Li Pojun wanted to criticize Li Zhen's news was not timely, the news came again that Li Jing's army went to Baidao, and there was also the news that Li Ji defeated the Turks and killed 90,000 enemies.
A few days later, Li Pojun led 4,000 cavalry troops to Baidao, and after talking to Li Jing, Li Jichai, and Shao, the three main generals, he got the news that Lili had surrendered.
"It is absolutely impossible, the ambition of the wolf son, the heart of invading my Central Plains is not dead, how can it be possible to surrender, there must be fraud." Li Pojun immediately said it directly. In his heart, he secretly said: Sure enough, it is no different from history, but he still surrendered by deception, trying to make a comeback.
Li Jing and the others also thought deeply when they heard this, "Ambassador, although this is the case, but on the surface before, Lili has already surrendered, but we are not allowed to use soldiers", Li Jing also frowned and said very embarrassed, Li Pojun is now the front line as the pacification envoy of the six provinces in northern Xinjiang, and Li Jing and others are commensurate with their official positions.
Li Jing said, Li Ji's always handsome old face was even more worried, "Although Lili is defeated now, the number is still large, once the snake is not killed, let him go, wait for him to flee to Mobei, with the support of the Mobei Tiele people, plus the long distance, it will be difficult to get rid of the troubles."
Li Ji said, everyone in the tent was also silent, and after a long time, Chai Shao sighed: "After more than a month of hard fighting, if you let Lili escape, you are really unwilling." If you fight again, the profit has fallen, and it is inevitable that you will be nameless, which is really a dilemma. Now that the Turkic ministers have gone on the Hajj to see the saints, it is better to wait for the will of the saints, and everything will be decided by the saints."
Chai Shao said that it seems to be the best way, everything is decided by Li Shimin, they obey the order, and Li Jing and the others also respond.
Li Pojun knew that the result in history was already the best, so he did not intervene.
Looking at Chang'an again, the people of Chang'an have been receiving good news for more than a month, and their spirit has risen greatly.
First of all, General Manager Li ran thousands of miles to occupy Xiangcheng, 3,000 people drove away 30,000 Turkic khans, and then there was appeasement to make His Royal Highness the Prince lead the army to break through the former Sui relics of Dingxiang County, the Turkic generals surrendered, and the former Sui princes and queens were all captured, and then there was the great victory of the Hunhe River, the great victory of Baidao, and the successive great victories blinded the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, however, a news in recent days is even more exciting - Turkic... Surrendered!
The ordinary people who heard the news jumped to their feet to celebrate, but Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace was furious.
"What a treacherous, treacherous one, how can I let you succeed." Li Shimin snorted as he drank the wine.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was pouring wine on the side, looked puzzled, "Second brother, didn't the Turks surrender, and the people outside are celebrating, why are you still scolding the Khan?" ”
"Hmph, that old man didn't have a good mind, the Tang soldiers beat him all the way to the desert and fled, seeing that he was about to be destroyed, but this old man wanted to surrender, obviously delaying the strategy and trying to make a comeback." Li Shimin took another sip of the wine in the glass, and hated the shamelessness of Li.
It's enough to have a headache to meet such an opponent who can't beat and surrender, and now that he is injured and surrenders, how can he bear it when he licks his wounds and comes to provoke again.
The eldest grandson Wujian was also silent when he heard this, he just served Li Shimin to eat and drink, rubbed his shoulders for him, and relieved his fatigue, she knew that she didn't understand military affairs, so she wouldn't ask questions and make trouble.
Li Shimin ate and drank comfortably, smiled coldly, and turned the white jade cup in his hand, "If he succeeds, then I will not be Li Shimin, Pharmacist Li will not be Pharmacist Li, and Li Maogong will not be Li Maogong......." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, and said funny: "That bastard boy is not a bastard boy......
