Chapter 679: The Alliance of Weishui (4)
679.The Alliance of Weishui (4)
Seeing Jieli fall to the ground, the surrounding leaders were panicked, and then the river wind was strong, Jieli was fluttering behind him, and the tassels on it were hunting in the wind, very majestic, Li Pojun took it to heart, endured the soreness of his arm, the tearing of the tiger's mouth, took out the sky-shaking bow, bent the bow and set up the arrow, aimed slightly, the arm was lifted, and with a bang, the arrow went off the string, and the sky-shaking bowstring collapsed, which was deafening.
Then there was a click, and the Great Scroll fell, and the Turkic army saw the Great Scroll falling, and Gu was panicked, and he saw Jieli Khan fall to the ground and did not know life and death, and it was a mess at that time.
Jieli Khan, who vomited blood and fell to the ground, was also stunned when he saw this, his heart was like ashes, he knew that the general trend had gone, that is, his army of 200,000, and at this time the war was only defeated in the north, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and struggled to order: "Help me get on the horse."
The leader of his cronies next to him saw Jieli struggling to get up, and he was busy helping him, and Jieli Khan said sharply: "Quick, help me get on the horse."
The leader of his cronies did not dare to delay, and was busy helping Jieli to get on the horse.
Jieli Khan struggled to get on his horse, forced himself to hold up a trace of the dignity of the steppe overlord, raised his hand and shouted backwards: "The Turkic people are panicking, Ben Khan is here."
When the Turkic army saw that the Great Khan had appeared on the horse again, they were also a little relieved, but if they said that they were fighting, it would not work, for no other reason, and their morale was lost.
Seeing that Jieli was on the horse again, Li Shimin, who woke up from his excitement and surprise, drew his sword again and shouted: "Ashina, I have always been a state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, be cautious of swords, and I ask you, is it a war or not?" ”
The corners of Jieli Khan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly,
drove the horse out of the formation, gave Li Shimin a chest-soothing salute, and shouted loudly: "The foreign monarch Ashina is aggressive, I have to ask the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty to ascend the throne, and specially lead the subjects of the state to congratulate the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty."
When Li Pojun heard this, his jaw was about to hit the ground, I'll go, is this the overlord of the steppe, the Turkic Khan? The face is really comparable to the city wall, but it can advance or retreat, it can be stretched and bent, and it is still clamoring for 200,000 warriors to attack Chang'an City and destroy the Tang Dynasty.
After all, he is the monarch of a country, and Li Pojun has learned from Li Pojun in terms of this turning point and stretching ability, Li Shimin is not easy to fool, and he has no cheek to say, he is not surprised to see Jieli change his attitude in this way, and he immediately greeted him with a smile, and said: "Your state's mind, I have already understood it, but Chang'an is cramped, and there are many people in your state, I will not invite the khan to come in for a while, if he comes back alone, I will treat each other with wine."
Jieli Khan's face turned red when he heard this, he clenched his fists, held the hilt of the knife and said with a blue face: "The Turks were born in a bitter cold land, the people in the state are poor, it is not easy to grow, and it is very difficult to come from afar, may the Tang Emperor treat one or two kindly."
coughed as he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's face was also solemn when he heard this, the two were relatively speechless, and no one made a sound, and the scene was silent for a while.
The meaning of Jieli Khan's words is very obvious, my Turks are poor, and now 200,000 warriors have come from afar to congratulate you, you have to express it.
Li Pojun's face was gloomy when he heard this, this is equivalent to asking for compensation in disguise, it's really ridiculous, you came to violate me, and as a result, you want me to give you the way out? Li Pojun just laughed out loud at that time.
Jieli Khan saw Li Pojun laughing in the bridge, and immediately frowned, "Why is my nephew laughing?" ”
Hearing that this old thief was a nephew and grandson, as if he had completely forgotten that he had just been scolded by Li Pojun and vomited blood, Li Pojun also admired this old guy's cheekiness very much.
Li Pojun also didn't want to weaken his momentum when he heard this, but he also knew that now the old boy Jieli was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't anger him, so he immediately smiled and said: "The friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the people of the two countries are free from war, and the lonely heart is very happy, this is a fortunate thing, it should be congratulated, the Great Khan and rest assured, my Tang Dynasty etiquette state, will never treat the guests badly, it is better to set up a banquet on both sides of the Weishui River on the spot, how about celebrating together?" ”
Jieli Khan shook his beard when he heard this, and looked directly at Li Pojun, although there was a smile on his face, there was a desire to cut this kid with a thousand knives in his eyes.
Lao Tzu came all the way to get no benefits, not to mention, now to put it bluntly, he just wants to blackmail you, and it is worth the cost of this way, which is already very face-saving for you.
After all, it's just for you to give some money and food, my 200,000 army is not a joke, and it's good not to beat you. Why are you like you're beating me through with a meal now? What can a meal be worth? I'm asking you to pay you an indemnity, or even cut some land to me.
But Li Pojun said this, blocking Jieli Khan's words, even if Jieli is shameless, he can't change his face again and again, "What the nephew said is very good" Jieli Khan immediately said with a red and white face, but Jieli is the overlord of the grassland after all, how can he give up so easily, and looked at Li Shimin again, "Virtuous nephew, the subjects of my state have come from afar but have not carried much grain and grass, the Tang Dynasty is rich in resources, you see this?" ”
Li Shimin was already very happy in his heart at this time, and looked at Li Pojun who was pleasing to the eye, and immediately waved his hand heroically and said: "I will think it through" After that, he turned his head and said to the few courtiers behind him: "Xuanling, King Bin, this matter will be left to you, and I will entertain the distinguished guests for my good life."
Li Shimin immediately said that he asked Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou to talk, and looked at Fang Xuanling, he believed that Fang Xuanling would understand what he meant, and the two happily accepted the order.
Jieli Khan snorted coldly, stroked Li Shimin's chest, and glanced deeply at Li Pojun, who was sitting on horseback, and turned the horse's head back to the main formation.
After that, Fang Xuanling and Ma Erren went to the Turkic camp as envoys to negotiate with each other, specifically about "borrowing grain".
In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin sat upright, and Li Pojun sat down with a smile.
"Datang survived this difficulty, thanks to the concerted efforts of all the princes, passed the order, and waited for Jingde to come back, set up a banquet in the Dragon Palace, and celebrate with the princes." Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed.
The courtiers in the hall also smiled when they heard this, as an uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji was very happy to learn that his nephew Li Pojun had made such a great contribution after escaping from Chang'an City.
Immediately, he laughed and sang loudly: "Your Majesty, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front of the Turkic army, denouncing Jieli, hitting stone oxen with halberds, shooting arrows at Daxu, majestic and boundless, greatly increasing the majesty of my brilliant Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City has been widely rumored to be heroic His Royal Highness, Datang has a successor monarch, the ministers are very lucky, the people are very lucky, and the Tang Dynasty is very lucky."
