Chapter 95 Ninety four

The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Shimin, with a hesitant expression on his face, and his eyes stopped on the four wine bowls dripping with horse blood.Yi Nan said with some displeasure: "It seems that Your Majesty still looks down on us foreigners." Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay, I promise you!" Yi Nan showed joy, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you Your Majesty." Li Shimin waved his hand: "Then, let's make an oath—" The four of them came to the incense table, raised their wine bowls together, and bowed to the sky.Afterwards, Yi Nan and Qi Bi He Li did not dare to stay any longer, and returned to the camp separately.Li Shimin is also preparing to go south and return to Chang'an.However, a new problem arose. Several scouts sent by Tuli reported that almost every road going south had been blocked by people from the Central Plains, except Mingshao. There also seems to be an ambush hidden in the place.

For several days in a row, the news was the same, giving people a feeling that Xieli seemed to have noticed something. As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Xieli really smelled something unusual.His eyeliner hidden in the Tuli camp sent a secret report, saying that on the night when Mayi was broken, several people from the Central Plains entered Tuli's camp. Over the years, in order to repel dissidents, Xieli has used everything to the extreme, making use of time is an important means for him to attack opponents, successfully buying Brother Ku is a successful example.Tuli is far more shrewd than Qibi Heli, and it is certainly not easy to cast such a high-level eyeliner under his nose. However, after careful planning, Xieli's cronies managed to bribe two low-level officers in Tuli's left camp .Because their ranks are too low, they are of course unable to provide Xieli with the most core information, but they can still get some gossip to evade their master.

After getting this information, Jieli felt very puzzled, how could there be Han people coming here at this pass with his hundreds of thousands of troops standing along the Great Wall!Reminiscent of Tuli’s ever-increasing vigilance against himself since Tuli led his troops into his Chinese army’s camp to take back Ashina Cloud, and he has become increasingly suspicious: “Could it be that he’s already married to Chang’an?” Are they in collusion? And these people are envoys sent by Li Shimin?" Thinking of this, Jieli couldn't sit still anymore, he ordered to strengthen the blockade of the road going south, and at the same time paid more attention to Tuli's movements.He calculated that if Li Shimin's envoys really came to the Tuli camp, these people would return to the south sooner or later. As long as they could be caught, they would be able to obtain the ironclad evidence of Tuli's collusion with the enemy, and with this ironclad evidence, they would be able to summon the entire clan Launch a crusade against it, and your long-cherished wish to get rid of this powerful opponent can be realized.

Although Tu Li was calm on the surface, after all, there was such a dangerous person as Li Shimin hiding in the camp, so he was really worried.For several days, he kept secretly sending people in the name of mowing grass to investigate the reality of the road going south, carefully looking for opportunities to send Li Shimin back south.Five days later, he judged that the road to the south would not work, because the number of sentries on the road had not decreased, but had increased. Li Shimin and his group all spoke with a Central Plains accent, and they would show their feet when they spoke. Going south was a dead end.When he was in trouble, Huali'er, who was born as a shepherd, advised him. If he couldn't go to the south, he couldn't go around in a circle and go to the north?It turns out that going north and crossing Yinshan Mountain, then going westward along the foot of the mountain to the edge of the grassland, and then going south through the desert to Suizhou, there are basically no people in the thousands of miles, and there is a trail walked by shepherds. It is too remote, and not many people can even walk down the grassland. Xieli would never think of taking this road.

Tuli expressed his thoughts to Li Shimin. Li Shimin felt that although the road was far away, he had escaped many checkpoints and was on the contrary safe. But in this way, it would take about a month to return to Chang'an. He was worried that the delay on the road would be too long, and the court would not know his life or death, and there would be troubles, so he asked Tuli to send a reliable person to cross the Great Wall to Chang'an to deliver the news first.Jieli wanted to interrogate people from the Central Plains, and it would not be difficult for a Hu to cross the blockade.Ashinayun volunteered to deliver the letter. She told Li Shimin that she knew her way well, and Tuli knew that her daughter did often go to Chang'an, so she didn't object.Li Shimin also felt that this was the most reliable candidate, so he wrote a letter for her to bring.

But Ashinayun said: "No need, if someone named Jieli finds it with me, it will be a clue. I am the letter myself. When I get to the place, I just say it." Li Shimin asked: "People from Chang'an What if you don’t believe me?” Ashinayun blurted out: “I have a solution, I know the King of Shu.” Li Shimin glanced at Ashinayun, and said strangely: “How do you know the King of Shu?” Ashinayun said Only then did I realize that it would inevitably make people suspicious when a girl said such a thing, and a crimson cloud flew up her cheeks, and she faltered and said: "I, I sold horses in Chang'an, and the king of Shu asked me to sell horses." I'm buying a horse."

Li Shimin is such a smart person, he already guessed something from Ashinayun's expression, and thought to himself, Li Ke, this bastard, his hands are really long enough to reach here.It is the tradition of men in the Li family to be brave on horseback but romantic in front of women. Li Shimin didn't mean to blame his son at all.Seeing Ashinayun's expectant eyes, Li Shimin let out a burst of hearty laughter, and then said: "It seems that the dice are really God's will!" Everyone laughed together, and Ashinayun's face became even redder. That night, Tuli had someone prepare a few tables of good food and wine for Li Shimin and his party as a farewell party. All Li Shimin's entourage attended the banquet.Because the alliance was very successful, and they had already married children and relatives, the two parties were less restrained, and both drank happily and happily.While drinking, a small school came in and whispered a few words to Hualier, Hualier's face changed drastically, and he stood up and reported to Tuli: "Khan, Zhizhisili led a thousand elite soldiers to rush past The camp gate is here!"

It turned out that Xieli, who had been waiting for someone from the Central Plains to leave the Tuli camp and go south, finally couldn't hold back his temper after waiting for a few days with nothing. He personally led a thousand elite soldiers and rushed into the camp of the Tuli Chinese Army at the fastest speed. It would be even better if he could catch those legendary Central Plains people. Ever since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to his camp, Tuli has been very careful and on guard.But today, because Li Shimin was about to leave, he called Hua Lier and other confidant generals over to see him off. Everyone drank a few more glasses, and the vigilance outside relaxed a bit. The spies that Li had bought long ago supported him, and he rushed here in one breath.
