Chapter 54: Meeting and Enmity (1st Update)
Barbarism is not stupidity, it is an eternal truth.
The evil fowl neighbors in northern China are often barbarians, but they are not stupid. Whenever Huaxia was weak, they turned into devils, robbed and killed people unscrupulously, and regarded Huaxia as their own land, and came to harvest wealth every period of time.
But whenever Huaxia is strong, they will immediately become extremely submissive and humble. Just like now, Jieli Khan's attitude not only does not have any arrogance, but also does not show any arrogance, but seems polite and graceful.
"Don't hurt the peace!" When he heard this, Tang Jian had the urge to laugh out loud. Although he did not know what was happening, he was certain that the Turks had now confessed.
In fact, how depressed is the Jieli Khan Ashina Dubanti, since Chen Ying of the Tang State left Lingzhou, the Turks have never won a victory against the Tang Dynasty at all, this is the case in the four battles in Lingzhou, and the same is true in Hedong.
Ashina Dubi will never forget how he fled back when he led an army of 100,000 to follow Liu Wuzhou into Hedong. There are 100,000 people who control the strings, less than half of whom have returned to the grassland, and the results of more than half a year of frenzied robbery have all been wiped out overnight.
Now he wanted to force Li Tang to make concessions, but he didn't expect Li Tang's reaction to be so strong, the front foot had just sent the envoy Tang Jian to question, and the back foot released Chen Ying, not only Chen Ying, but also all the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty.
Half a year ago, in the dispute between the Tang and Zheng Xia Kingdoms, Jieli Khan also paid close attention. Li Tang was only able to win a big victory, mainly relying not on the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Shimin, but on Chen Ying and his subordinates led by the East Palace left and right guard rate and left and right Si Yu rate, and now Li Tang's East Palace left and right guard rate and left and right Si Yu rate have already crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, along the Mouse Bird Valley, all the way north, has arrived in Jiexiu.
His cavalry went up the Yellow River, and it was possible to reach Shuozhou, where they could copy his rear route at any time.
The situation became more and more serious, and Jieli Khan had to deal with it carefully.
Tang Jian, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, one of Li Yuan's confidants and advisers when he stayed in Taiyuan, his mind turned relatively fast, he heard this, and said with a cold smile: "The foreign minister was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to come to ask Jieli Khan, what is the intention of the Turkic army to settle down?" ”
Jieli Khan said without thinking: "Our Turks have absolutely no malicious intentions, this Khan just came to Yinshan to herd horses, and he has absolutely no intention of being an enemy of the Tang Dynasty......
Tang Jian listened to this, and his heart was very comfortable. However, he admired Chen Ying's talent even more, and Chen Ying concluded that once he came forward to question Jieli Khan, Ashina Dubi would definitely not easily start a war against Datang before he could not figure out Li Tang's reality, because Datang could not afford to lose, and Jieli Khan could not afford to lose when he first ascended to the throne.
Once the war is lost, relying on the Turks to have a woman is a mother's nature, they will immediately abandon Jieli Khan and appoint someone else as Khan. You must know that the Ashina family, as a Turkic royal family, is not only the heir of Ashina Dubi, such as Ashina Aosheshi and Ashina Sheer, he also has the right to inherit, and in recent years, Ashina Sheer has set up a tooth banner in Mobei, commanding Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other tribes, relying on less than 30,000 people to control the strings, and the Xue Yantuo Department and Tiele (both descendants of the Huns) who have 100,000 are honest and dare not have different intentions.
As long as he is defeated, it is very likely that Ashina Sheer, who has a good reputation, will become the new Turkic Khan.
As the saying goes, life and death are small, and failure is big. Ashina Dubi will never allow himself to capsize in the gutter at this time.
When Ashina Dubi said this, he felt that he couldn't be too weak in his own breeze, so he changed his words and continued: "Tang envoy Mingjian, now this Khan is sitting on the Great Xianbei, Hanhai, and Xihai, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and there are millions of people who control the strings, but he has no intention of bullying your lord, your lord now, how much territory does he have, how many soldiers and horses do you have?" Ben Khan doesn't care, as long as the Tang Dynasty is willing to serve Ben Khan as the master, Ben Khan will immediately withdraw his troops! ”
"This proposal is proposed, please ask the Khan to mention it again!" Tang Jian said without being arrogant or humble: "I, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, should be on an equal footing with the Turkic Khan!" ”
Bu Lugen sneered: "In a land of thousands of miles, 100,000 remnants of soldiers, they actually want to be on an equal footing with the Turks, and they are foolish dreams.
Tang Jian ignored Bu Lugen, looked at Ashina Dubi and said: "My Tang Dynasty is less than a thousand miles away, but I have defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in a row, and my sword is pointed outside the gate; The Tang army is less than 100,000, but it is still 300 miles away......"
He paused and glanced at Ashina Dubi: "At this moment, the tens of thousands of elites led by General Chen resolutely went north...... Your Majesty, although the Turks are strong, they are still under the threat of the Western Turkic Yehu Khan; Although Li Tang is weak, he is the scale of the scale, helping the Western Turks to rise to the Western Turks, helping the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turks to prosper, the overall situation is current, the Khan should know how to choose! ”
When the Eastern Turkic ministers heard this, their faces were difficult to look at.
Whether to fight or to draw, for everyone, this is definitely a very difficult question to decide.
As Tang Jian said, if Li Tang had made friends with the Eastern Turks at this time, it would not be impossible for the Eastern Turks to take advantage of the situation, concentrate on attacking the west, unify the Eastern and Western Turks, and end the Turkic split.
However, in the same way, once Li Tang helped the Western Turks, then the Western Turks could destroy the Eastern Turks.
Bu Lugen sighed and said, "Helping the Western Turks? Tang envoy Mo laughed at my ignorance, now the Western Turks seem to be storming Liangzhou Tong of the Tang Dynasty, does the Tang Lord still want to shake hands with the Western Turks and make peace? ”
"It's nature!" Tang Jian said: "On the occasion of a certain envoy to the Eastern Turks, there was also a team of envoys to Liang, meeting with the Western Turkic Yehu Khan, I wonder if your Excellency can guess how the Yehu Khan will choose?" ”
Hearing this, Jieli Khan's face changed drastically.
Diplomacy is just a political means, just as the so-called hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans are educated, and once educated people play hooligans, this is the most deadly.
Jieli Khan frowned, even if he didn't have to think about it with his head and knees, he knew how the Tongye Protector would decide.
Jieli Khan didn't want to enter the pass and destroy Li Tang. The key is that there are too many cities in the Tang Dynasty, and there are thousands of them, not including the dense dock forts, only the dock forts in Hedong, Hebei, and Hanoi are as many as a thousand, if they are attacked, God knows how many people will be consumed?
Whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, there is a fatal wound, they will not attack the city, so it is okay for them to fight again in the field, but the siege ......
They are still too far off.
A decision must be made as soon as possible.
……
Chen Ying naturally didn't know about the talks between Tang Jian of Dingxiang and Jieli Khan, but he knew that surprise and unpreparedness were the essence of the soldiers.
He did not hesitate to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and even made a big disturbance in Luliang Mountain, with only one purpose, to create the illusion that he was about to be in Hedong, and at the same time to make the Western Turks unprepared for his arrival, and to deal a fatal blow to the Western Turks when the Western Turks were most slack.
Just when Tang Jian and Jieli Khan were prevaricating in Dingxiang, Chen Ying arrived in Lingzhou lightly. The closer he got to Lingzhou, the more excited Chen Ying became.
Chen Ying, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, is still a first-time father.
Although Chen Ying has seen Li Siye's portraits, the portraits of this era are usually too abstract, and the specifics need to be guessed.
From the portrait, Chen Ying can see that Li Siye is white and fat, with a tiger head and a tiger brain.
However, when Chen Ying arrived in the City of Thin Bone Law, Chen Ying ate a closed door.
Li Daozhen didn't want to see Chen Ying at all, and didn't even let Chen Ying go to see the door of the mansion.
Where does Chen Ying have time to grind in Lingzhou, the urgent reports of Liangzhou reach Chen Ying from time to time, the weather in Liangzhou is getting colder and colder, and once the heavy snow falls, it will be more difficult to march on the road.
It is worth mentioning that Li Daozhen wants to keep Chen Ying out, which is simply impossible. Li Daozhen has two henchmen, one of them is Chen Ying's doorman Chen Jinyong, and the other is Shan Xiongxin who is alias Chen Tong, no matter who it is, he can mobilize the doorman of Li Daozhen's mansion.
Chen Ying ordered Shan Xiongxin to open the door and successfully entered the mansion.
Chen Ying made no secret of it, and under the guidance of Shan Xiongxin, he went straight to the inner baby room where Li Siye lived, but when Chen Ying pushed it open and entered, the baby room was empty, and only an empty cradle was slowly swaying in the air.
When Chen Ying saw this scene, he knew that Li Daozhen was playing a petty game.
At this moment, more than a dozen fat women who looked five big and three thick, wearing armor and holding a whistle stick, pounced on Chen Ying, led by none other than Song Wusao, one of the eighteen towns of Lingwu, but when Song Wusao's whistle stick knocked on Chen Ying, Song Wusao's sister-in-law suddenly found that the person in front of her was actually Chen Ying.
"When the ......"
Fifth sister-in-law Song said excitedly: "The slave maid meets the general!" ”
Chen Yingdao: "What about my son? ”
"Xiao Lang is at Madame's!"
"Where is Madame!"
A moment later, Chen Ying appeared in Li Daozhen's room again, Li Daozhen held the Mo knife in one hand, and the sleeping Li Siye in the other, the Mo knife in his hand pointed horizontally at Chen Ying, and said with a gloomy face: "My son is mine, don't you want to take it away!" ”
"If you have something to say, put the knife down!" Chen Ying couldn't wait to see his son, and while motioning for the others to leave, he raised his hand and said, "If you have something to say, put the knife down, don't scare the child!" ”
"Let me see my son!"
"I just don't give it!"
"Don't force me to be strong!"
"You're moving?"
Chen Ying was very helpless, he really couldn't beat Li Daozhen in terms of martial arts, especially when Li Daozhen still had a Mo knife in his hand, Chen Ying still had palpitations about Li Daozhen's Mo knife.
Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Even if I'm afraid of you, my son is yours, I'll just take a look!" ”
Li Daozhen raised her eyebrows: "Absolutely not!" ”
……
After a stalemate for half an hour, Chen Ying's patience was finally exhausted.
As the so-called husband and wife do not have an overnight feud, they meet with one cannon and enmity, if one cannon doesn't work, then two can't, then three can't......
Chen Ying was so tired that he was panting like a cow, and finally got his wish, holding this little lovely child in his arms, Chen Ying felt that every pore on his body was comfortable.
Obviously, Chen Ying lacks experience as a father, no matter how careful he is, or alarms the sleeping Li Siye, little Li Siye did not give Chen Ying the slightest face, he cried loudly, his small mouth opened, and he howled straight at the throat.
Chen Ying was at a loss.
Li Daozhen glanced at Chen Ying and reached out to take the child.
Chen Ying sneered and said, "The little guy is good, like me!" ”
Li Daozhen skillfully changed Li Siye's diaper, and said, "Let's say okay first, my son is mine!" “
