Li Jian was about to ask for his life to go on the expedition, but Feng Lun persuaded him in private, let him not take on this drudgery, the Turkic soldiers are the army of tigers and wolves, and it is already difficult to resist the city, if it is attacked head-on, I am afraid that the Tang army will be defeated immediately.

After Li Jiancheng last battle, he was already a frightened bird, and after being reprimanded by Li Yuan, he had no ambition for a long time, and only thought about not seeking merit but seeking no fault, just wait for Li Yuan to die whimpering, maybe this throne will fall on him safely.

Feng Lun's proposal just catered to his mentality at this time, and when Li Yuan summoned hundreds of officials to discuss, he said that he was ill and could not go to court.

Only Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were the only two people in the palace who asked for an order to go on the expedition.

Looking at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only the military of Tiance Mansion was very strong, Li Yuan was both proud and sad in his heart, proud that he had a son like this, which was enough to protect the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, but sad that Li Jiancheng, who was the eldest son, was so disappointed by him.

In this expedition, if Li Shimin returns victorious again, I am afraid that the matter of setting up another prince will have to be put on the agenda, otherwise in the future, the lord will be weak and the minister will be strong, and these two brothers will have to make a fuss.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and ordered Li Shimin to be the generalissimo of the conquest and lead an army of 100,000 to meet the Turks.

……

The two armies set up positions on both sides of the Weishui River, and Zhen ordered people to build high sand city walls, and the troops did not move, no matter how the Turkic soldiers called for battle, they did not respond.

At nightfall, he took Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao and others. Equipped with the best equipment of the Dark Guard, they crossed the Wei River by night and infiltrated the Turkic barracks.

Such a combination. If it is a head-on conflict, it is enough to kill the elite of a thousand people.

That night, they infiltrated the barracks of the Turkic army and captured the Turkic khans alive.

"Little Khan, long time no see."

Tuli Khan was escorted to Zhen Mingku's side, and Cheng Yanjin kicked him in the crook of the leg, kicking him to his knees. Staring at Zhen Mingku, with angry eyes.

"Who are you?"

I haven't seen him for many years, and he doesn't know Zhen Mingku, but he speaks Chinese much more fluently. There was fear in his voice for these skilled Han Chinese.

The hundreds of Turkic warriors in the tent couldn't stop the dozen of them, which he had never encountered in his many years of combat career.

Zhen Mingku rose from his throne as Khan. Walk up to him. Untie him with your own hands, and help him up.

Having dealt with Turkic soldiers for many years, he knows too well the habits of these Turks, and only convinces those who have suppressed them by force, and this time he used the most direct way of force to leave a Han in the other party's heart, which is by no means as weak as they imagined, and has no ability to fight back.

Zhen Mingku unmasked himself, revealing his original face.

Tuli was stunned for a moment. His expression became extraordinarily colorful, as if he was trying to search. "You ......"

Then, he jumped up violently, "Brother Zhen! ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and nodded: "Little Khan has a good memory, I haven't seen him for many years, I thought that Little Khan had forgotten about my brother a long time ago." ”

"The Turks will never forget their brothers!" Tuli was a little displeased, and then frowned, "Brother Zhen, what do you mean by this?" Why did you bring people to break into the king's military camp! When you got married, this king specially sent someone to send three sweat and blood horses to you, two years ago you sent someone to send a letter to this king's account, let me take care of your Queen Xiao, this king has always been a brother to you, always treat each other politely, but now you treat me like this, do you treat me as a brother! ”

He scolded angrily, causing Li Jing and the others to be stunned, how could they know that this Turkic Khan and Zhen Mingku still had such a friendship.

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and hugged Tu Li's shoulder, "Little Khan is angry, if I don't treat you as a brother, I won't show up tonight." ”

Tuli thought about it, but still a little puzzled, "Then what are you bringing these people for?" ”

"I want to discuss something with Little Khan."

"Did you bring these people here with the attitude of discussion?"

"Khan's Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds, and he expresses it very well."

Turliden showed a hint of pride.

Zhen Mingku's voice changed, "I want to remind the Khan of one thing, this is your military camp, surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, we are only a dozen people, if this does not show my sincerity to the little Khan's discussion, I really don't know how to meet with the little Khan, not to mention, now the little Khan's army is pressing the border, disturbing my territory, and my friendship with the little Khan is iron, in front of the interests of my clan, it is also insignificant." ”

Tuli pointed to the fierce general Ruyun beside Zhen Mingku, and complained: "Look at them, which one is not one top ten, you are embarrassed to say that there are only a dozen people!" ”

He looked angry, "I only heard that Li Tang killed you, so he led the army to attack Li Tang, you are good, suddenly appeared in front of me, count me down!" ”

Zhen Ming poured him a glass of mare's milk wine with a wry smile, as if he was the master, "Little Khan is angry, isn't this coming to discuss with you, if not, the army will do it directly, there is really a reason for it, please listen to my brother slowly, come, I'll introduce you first......"

…………

After introducing them one by one, Tuli looked at these fierce strong men with envy on his face, and sighed: "If any of these men join my Turks, I will be able to clean up the bastard in Chuluo immediately!" ”

Zhen Mingkuan smiled slightly: "The little khan is really a mistake, the internal contradictions of the Turks have not been resolved, so he dares to go south, aren't you afraid that Zhu Luo will take advantage of the emptiness in your city and secretly carry out a sneak attack?" ”

Tuli was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that he was indeed risky to lead the army on this expedition.

Zhen Mingkuan saw that his expression had moved, and he knew that he was worried about his heart, and took the hot railway: "If the little khan is in need, when I pacify the Central Plains, I will immediately lead the army to support the little khan and help you pacify the Turks. ”

Tuli was silent for a moment, and slapped the table, "Brother Zhen, I believe you, originally led the army south this time to help you avenge you, and by the way, I took some goods back, and now that you are guarding Chang'an City, my Turkic army will not be able to get any cheap, so I will sign this agreement with you!" ”

Zhen Ming laughed bitterly: "Khan's move not only saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but also opened a future for the friendship between the two countries, as for what will happen after our death, it is not out of our control, as long as you and I have a lifetime, we must devote ourselves to the friendship between the two countries, tonight's Weishui Alliance, is an agreement between you and me, I hope that in my lifetime, this is also a testimony of your brotherhood." ”

Since Tuli saw Zhen Mingku, and saw the methods of his group of skilled dark guards, he had already been shocked by them, and the only bit of luck in his heart had disappeared, and he was eager to sign a non-aggression agreement with him.

Zhen Ming was not afraid that he would poison the wine and food, so he secretly tested the ingredients with his mobile phone and drank some symbolically, but Tuli felt that he was not a brother enough, and he was guarding against him, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to secretly give Li Jing and the others a look, so that they could pay attention to stay vigilant, and he let go of his arms and drank with Tuli, until he vomited, Tuli was satisfied that he was sincere enough.

The banquet was drunk until the early hours of the morning, and Li Jing and the others returned to the other side of the river with Zhen Mingku, who was drunk and unconscious.

The next day, Tuli really led his army to retreat, and the siege of Chang'an was resolved overnight.

……

When the news of King Qin's triumph reached the palace, Li Yuan immediately found Empress Dou and told Empress Dou about the establishment of another prince.

In the prince's mansion, Li Jiancheng learned from the eyeliner who had been lurking in the queen mother's palace that Li Yuan wanted to abolish the crown prince's position, and he was panicked and anxious, and hurriedly summoned Wei Zheng, Feng Lun and others to come to discuss.

Wei Zheng means to strike first, if he wants to invite Li Shimin to the prince's mansion, in the name of celebrating the triumph of the King of Qin, although Li Shimin may suspect his intentions, but it is inconvenient to refuse his brother's invitation, after Li Shimin goes to the appointment, he can take the opportunity to poison the banquet, this poison does not need Li Shimin's life, just poison him into a waste, Li Yuan will definitely not consider the weak Li Shimin as the prince for the sake of the Li family's world.

Li Jiancheng was a little hesitant, Feng Lun on the side had been listening silently, Li Jiancheng asked his opinion, he was just a promise, and he didn't speak, Li Jiancheng didn't care much, and after discussing for a long time, he decided to use poison, but the amount was only slight, so that Li Shimin would not be fatal.

……

After Zhen Mingku returned to Chang'an City, he secretly received a secret letter from Feng Lun, and learned of the conspiracy between Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng.

took Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin and went to the prince's mansion together.

When they met, Li Jiancheng behaved extremely modestly, opened and closed his mouth to be a citizen of the world, very affectionate, took him into the banquet, and poured him wine himself.

If he hadn't gotten the news in advance, and he wasn't the real Li Shimin, if he had changed to the real Li Shimin, maybe he would have been really blinded by his hometown.

Pretended to drink Li Jiancheng's toast, and secretly dissolved it with the antidote that he had put in his mouth early in the morning to neutralize the toxicity, and talked to Li Jiancheng about his future plans as if nothing happened, saying that after the disputes in the world were settled, he would return the military power of Tiance Mansion to Li Yuan for disposal.

"Shimin heard that some people have recently played right and wrong in front of the eldest brother, saying that the people of the world have the intention to covet the throne, the eldest brother really doesn't have to listen to these rumors, the people of the world are dedicated to fighting the world for the Li family, not to compete for the throne with the eldest brother, the father and the queen mother have long been with me in the first place, the young and the old are orderly, and the long and young dynasties will not be abolished since ancient times, and the dynasty will not exceed the second, far away Qin Shihuang abolished the crown prince Fusu II and died, and recently there was Emperor Wen of Sui who was not the prince Yang Yongli Yang Guang, the Great Sui Jiangshan is only more than 30 years, how dare the father and the queen mother be negligent about this, In the hearts of the people, the eldest brother has always been the heir to the throne, and he will never dare to have the slightest covetousness.
