After resting for the night, he looked at the army that he barely called "the army" in the early morning. Eventually, he summoned his men into his tent and began to discuss the next step.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must also know that we don't have the strength to fight against the Tang Army now." After Jie Li finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the tooth tent, because everyone knew about it, but no one dared to say it.
"Khan, I think we should gather our troops and horses at this time, and fight back fiercely, and my Turkic warriors will definitely be able to get back the lost land." A tall general said.
After hearing this, although he did not object, he frowned tightly and did not speak.
"No, Khan, it's winter, and even people can't have enough to eat, let alone war horses? You must know that the Tang Army has a supply of grain and grass in the rear, but our grain and grass cannot be as continuous as theirs. Persistence said.
After hearing this, Jie Li nodded and said, "You are right, continue to speak." โ
"I think the most important thing we should do at this time is to want Datang to surrender." As soon as the words of stubbornness and thinking came out, it attracted the uneasiness of other generals.
"Isn't it that General Misses Sili and wants to be a dog like Datang shaking his head and tail like that Kang Sumi?" One of the generals said in a weird way.
"No, no, no, I mean to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, this Tang army has been on the grassland for more than a month, such a cold weather, they must be very unadaptable, although their grain and grass energy is continuously transported to the grassland, but there must always be a quantity, right? If you want me to say, if this war continues, it will not benefit him, the Tang Dynasty, or my Turks. Persistence said.
After thinking about it a little, he agreed with the idea of losing his thinking.
"You go on." Jie Li Road.
"Yes, Khan. In the next conjecture, this Li Shimin may be because the border people were harassed, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty had to go to our Turks, I think he Li Shimin also did not want to fight this war, the Tang Dynasty did not have a long time to build the country, if the time spent on the war was too long, not only will the people be resentful, but also will shake the foundation of their country. โ
"So I think it's better to show weakness to Datang first, get a little respite, when the grass is green and the horse is fat, we will move to Mobei and make a comeback, and then we will not let him Li Shimin handle it." After he finished speaking, he arched his hand at Jieli and said.
"Well, that's the best option right now." Jie Li nodded.
"Therefore, what the Khan has to do now is to send an envoy to Chang'an, apologize to him Li Shimin, and express his willingness to attach himself to the country, in fact, we are recuperating and trying to make a comeback." Obsessed with the power of thought.
"Well, but who should I send to Chang'an?" Jie Li pinched his chin and thought.
"Khan, since I brought this matter up, it's better to let me go to Chang'an City." Persistence stood up again.
"Well, that's fine, but you have to ask Li Shimin to send his officials from the Tang Dynasty to our grassland, otherwise I'm uneasy." In the end, Jieli decided to make a deal with Li Er by exchanging hostages.
In the end, Jie Li made a decision, and decided that he would go to Chang'an City to make such a deception for Li Er.
After a long journey of half a month, he finally met Comrade Li Er.
Li Er met with Zhi Zhi Sili in the morning of one day.
"You're saying that Jackie is willing to raise domestic attachments?" Li Er looked at his stubbornness with some disbelief.
"That's right, Zai Xia was indeed entrusted by the Khan, and here is the Khan's handwritten letter, which is enough to prove that what Zai Xia said is true."
Jieli's handwritten letter was given to Li Er by Liu Bing, Li Er took the letter and read it for a while, and then said: "I know about this matter, and I ask the general to stay in the post house first, and I will discuss it with the ministers before making a decision." โ
After being taken down, Li Er directly threw Jieli's handwritten letter aside, for Li Er, the Turkic guarantee was like a fart in front of Li Er, and there was no credibility.
"What do you Aiqing think of this begging thing that this obsessive thinking power said?" Li Er asked the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Back to the emperor, this is clearly a delaying tactic of the Turks, and the emperor must not believe it." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said.
"That's right, the Turks are cunning and have no integrity at all, so presumably this sublimina is trying to get a little respite." Fang Xuanling also stood up and said.
"Of course I understand that this is a delaying tactic by the Turks, but I am afraid that if I don't agree to this Jieli, if this Jieli is attached to this Xue Yantuo and other departments with the remaining soldiers and horses, this grassland will be a hidden danger for my Tang Dynasty." Li Er said with a frown.
"The emperor might as well pretend to agree to this Jieli first, and when my Tang Sixth Route Army is surrounded, it is impossible for this Jieli to run out." Xiao Yu stood up and said.
"Eh, Lord Xiao is thinking too much about this, this Jieli is not a fool, how can he believe it so easily? Besides, there will definitely be Turkic eyeliner on this steppe, and if we don't withdraw our troops after we agree, it will be a failure. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Why don't the emperor send two henchmen to the Turks, stabilize Najieli first, and finally take him down in one fell swoop while Najieli is paralyzed?" Fang Xuanling thought about it and said.
"That's a good idea, it's decided, but who should I send?" After Li Er finished speaking, he began to look among the courtiers.
In the end, Li Er locked his eyes on Tang Jian and General An Xiuren, so he said: "Where are Tang Jian and An Xiuren?" โ
"The minister is here." The two of them came out of the ranks.
"I ordered the two of you to go to Jieli's side, stabilize the Turks first, wait until the army arrives, and then rescue you, do you have confidence?" Li Erdao.
"The minister must do his best to accomplish it." The two arched their hands.
"It's not about trying, it's about doing it, I want both of you to give me a life, and if you find out, you'll flee the Turkic camp, understand?" Li Erdao.
Tang Jian and An Xiuren looked at each other and smiled bitterly, saying that it was so simple to escape? But Li Er had already named himself to go, but if he didn't go, he would be disobeying the order, and the two of them were loyal in the end.
"Spread my will, let the newspaper take the last article today, and say that the Turks have surrendered, and I have decided to withdraw my troops, so I will first make an appearance for the stubborn lost thinking power, so that he can believe it is true, and pass the message to Na Jieli. Okay, that's it, let's retreat. โ
After Li Er finished speaking, Liu Bing shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty." โ
