Weishui Alliance (6)

When the ministers heard Li Shimin say this, they were also moved in their hearts, Your Majesty is really a benevolent and righteous king.

Li Shimin appeased Wei Chigong and asked: "How did Jingde break through from Fengzhou, and how many soldiers and horses did he bring?" ”

Wei Chi Gong's face was sad when he heard this, and he bowed down again, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister controlled more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou Road, but it was in the place where horses were raised outside the city, Wangfeng Valley was raided by the Turks, and more than 3,000 casualties, the terrain of Wangfeng Valley was treacherous, only one mouth in and out, the minister was trapped in the valley, and could not get out, but it happened that His Majesty personally went out of the city to commit danger, and fortunately Huanghuang Tianwei surrendered to the Turks."

Although Wei Chigong is a martial artist, he is not a man, and now although he is covered in blood, he is also clear-minded, and he will briefly explain what he has done along the way.

But what puzzled Li Pojun was whether it was said that Wei Chigong was trapped in Fenzhou, how could it be in Wangfeng Valley outside the city, okay, Wangfeng Valley was in Fenzhou, Li Pojun could only think like this.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, and was very happy, "Jingde is brave and extraordinary, killing more than 20,000 enemies, and even capturing the enemy's generals, which is a merit; Timely reinforcement helped me to bluff Ashina Dubi, which is the second achievement. With these two merits, what is the sin of respecting virtue? ”

Seeing that Li Shimin loved Wei Chi Gong so much, the ministers also had different thoughts, and on the surface, they at least echoed it.

Seeing this, Wei Chigong was even more moved, and bowed straight to him"; This battle is all thanks to His Majesty's heavenly might, the minister does not dare to take credit, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers on Chang'an City, even the future of the minister, and it is not hindered."

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, and then they all laughed, and Wei Chigong looked blindfolded, "Jingde, where did you hear that there are still tens of thousands of male soldiers in Chang'an?" ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and looked at Yu Chigong and said.

Wei Chigong was stunned, "Except for the pharmacist, the people and horses led by the Duke of Mao, the left and right military guards, and the left and right tun guards are all in Beijing, isn't that in Chang'an City?" ”

Li Shimin sighed when he heard this, and said bluntly: "A month ago, Wang Jun went to Yizhou, and the troops were very fierce, and the left and right Wuwei and others had already let Sichang (Chai Shao) lead them to quell the rebellion."

Wei Chigong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Who is the armor soldier in Chang'an City?" ”

Li Shimin smiled again and said bluntly: "Except for 20,000, which is true, the rest are all pretended to be young and strong in Chang'an, and they can't go to the battlefield."

Wei Chigong was stunned when he heard this, and he was stunned, and in an instant, the monarchs and ministers present all laughed knowingly, and Wei Chigong knew how much risk Li Shimin took when he went out of the city to meet Jieli, the dignified capital of the Tang Dynasty, the first city in the world was only defended by only 20,000 horses, and the Turkic army outside the city plus the tens of thousands of defeated troops who fled back from Fengzhou, the total number of soldiers who could fight was not less than 180,000.

Seeing that Wei Chi Gong was stunned, Li Shimin said again: "This is not only a plan for doubting the army, but also a plan for delaying the army, the pharmacist and other tripartite armies have returned to the court, and they will be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days."

Wei Chi Gong frowned when he heard this, thought about it and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, the minister is not the prestige of the enemy, even if the pharmacist and other tripartite armies return, they cannot fight, once the Turkic dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, desperately, it can be destroyed if it penetrates deep into my hinterland, but the foundation of my Tang Dynasty is undecided, and the war must be a great injury to the vitality, if you wait for three or five years, the minister will be able to lead the army to level the northern grassland."

Li Shimin's face was very relieved when he heard this, and he nodded straight and said: "What Jingde said is very true, I have asked King Xuanling Bin to negotiate, and I believe that Jieli will make the right choice."

Li Shimin said that Fang Xuanling suddenly smiled, and said bluntly: "Jingde also brought us back a big bargaining chip, and this time Jieli will definitely withdraw from the army."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and after a little thought, he knew what Fang Xuanling was talking about, and said directly: "But that stubbornness is lost? ”

"Exactly, as far as the minister knows, the leader of the Zhili tribe is one of the ten major Turkic tribes, and the people are hundreds of thousands, and he is Jieli's henchman. Fang Xuanling said with a radiant look that at this time, his other role as a strategist was revealed, that is, knowing oneself and knowing oneself plus being well-informed and knowledgeable, and he knew everything about the internal affairs of the Turks.

Li Shimin was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said bluntly: "This is very good, haha, Jingde has made another meritorious service."

Seeing this, Wei Chigong had to scratch his head helplessly, how could this credit be easy to get.

Gao Shilian, who was in the waiting, said worriedly: "Since this stubbornness has such weight, then let him go back like this, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently after hearing this, "If a mere enemy general can change my Gyeonggi tranquility, it will be worth it, and if Jingde can capture him once, he will also capture him a second time."

Li Shimin's words were extremely heroic, and he was praised by all the ministers, only Wei Chigong had some headaches for this great favor.

In the evening, there was a banquet in the Shenlong Palace, during which there were good deeds who told Wei Chi Gong about Li Pojun's heroic performance, which made Wei Chi Gong exclaim in a loud voice, and frequently raised his glass to greet Li Pojun, Li Pojun was also allowed to drink alcohol by Li Shimin for the first time in public, although the alcohol was not high, but it was also unable to stand the fact that Yu Chi Lao Hei this guy had cup after cup, and Li Pojun was dizzy when he drank.

After the banquet, Li Pojun shook his head and returned to the East Palace, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, now the Turkic army of nearly 200,000 has not yet withdrawn in the north of Weishui, and the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers are drinking the banquet like this, I really don't know whether to say that it is good to say that it is not chaotic or whether it should be said to be stupid and absurd, if it is not for the clarity that has always existed in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers, or the deployment of military defense that Li Shimin and Wei Chigong and a few people talk to from time to time, Li Pojun really dare not drink this wine with confidence.

Early the next morning, the court meeting was still held as usual, and after bidding farewell, the two of them left the city and went to the Turkic military camp.

And Li Pojun also summoned Su Dingfang and Zhai Changsun.

"Each of you will lead a thousand elite horsemen to patrol outside the Turkic camp and the surrounding villages, remember, you must have bright armor and a dignified military appearance, deter the Turkic rangers who want to do evil, and protect the surrounding villages and towns from raids and raids." Li Pojun commanded Su Zhai and the others.

The two of them would not refuse this kind of self-flaunting military might, and immediately responded, Su Dingfang asked again: "General, if you encounter a Turkic straggler who oppresses the people?" How should we behave? ”
