Weishui, Bianqiao, and Jieli, together with an army that claims to be in the millions but is actually only 100,000, together constitute a beautiful or gorgeous picture. Jieli only knew that Li Yuan, who was too idle all day long, had been forced to abdicate at this time, and his son Li Shimin replaced him.Regardless of Li Shimin's morality and leadership, anyway, there are always people who are not convinced by the new management team.He believes that the politics of the Tang Dynasty at this time must be a mess, the new party and the old party are fighting each other, and going to the street to scold their mothers every day will be their necessary homework.To a young man like Li Shimin, working together to resist the Turkic army is just a joke to make people happy.

With this kind of thinking in mind, Xieli came all over the country and forced him all the way to the west of Chang'an City. He waited and watched for a while on the west side of the temporary bridge, feeling very happy. Robbery, the money comes quickly, and you should be in a happy mood. Robbery doesn't care about what you get, it just cares about the thrill of robbing. Xieli felt that it was necessary to inform Li Shimin before the robbery. After all, defeating the enemy without fighting is a necessary quality for an excellent war commander.It would be best if Li Shimin agreed to pay in installments, but it would be easy if he didn't.At that time, he directly left half of the troops to surround Chang'an, starving the people in Chang'an for seven to forty-nine days.The remaining soldiers and horses split up and went to the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi to rob, to see if Li Shimin was still stubborn.

Jie defeated Li Shimin with his mind and smiled happily.He kept looking at the city gate opposite the Wei River, and when he was happy, he sent a minister named Zhi Shili to communicate in the city. After losing his mind, he entered the court and met Li Shimin. He said to Li Shimin in a tone that I am proud of: "Do you know that the two Khans Jieli and Tuli are leading an army of millions, and they are outside the city now. Now, show some sincerity to the Khans." Look!" Zhi Shisili finished speaking with dignity, and stood below waiting for Li Shimin to show a humble smile.

According to common sense, Li Shimin will show panic at this moment, and he will lose his mind and take the opportunity to raise the price, which will make the negotiation easier. But Li Shimin is not a player who plays routines. Li Shimin didn't do what he imagined, he sat on it motionless, for a long while, under the gaze of his lost consciousness, he said slowly: "I have an alliance with you Khan before, and I don't know how much I have given away." Treasures. Now that you have violated your promise and launched an army, are you worthy of me? Although you are Rongdi, you are also human. You are equally affectionate and righteous, how can you forget the great love that Datang has for you, and boast of being strong in front of Datang?"

Li Shimin suddenly gained the upper hand, which Xieli would never have thought of. Zhishili obviously didn't expect Li Shimin to say that, and stood there in a daze.But Li Shimin suddenly raised his voice to a deafening level, pointing angrily at the loss of mental strength, "Today I will cut you off first!" Seeing a few fierce guards coming up to drag him, Zhuo Sisili immediately realized that if he continued to pretend like this, he would die an ugly death, so he did a series of standard prostration actions-kneeling, kowtow, and crying Pleading for life with runny nose, that very rhythmic voice.

Li Shimin's mighty behavior made the two servants Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi unable to sit still. They both believed that the detention would only intensify Jieli, and it would be better to let him go. Li Shimin disagreed, "Xieli doesn't know what's going on in the city, so let him go. Are you afraid that no one will inform Jieli?" Everyone suddenly realized and was convinced. In this way, Zhishisili was imprisoned in Menxia Province. All the officers and soldiers in Chang'an City took action, raised their banners, and assembled in a mighty manner on the east bank of the Weishui River in the west of the city.Prior to this, Li Shimin had brought Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others to the bridge first, and faced the doubtful Jieli across the bridge.On one side is the murderous tiger and wolf master, and on the other is Li Shimin in golden armor (the most spectacular part is that he is followed by only a few civil servants).

Seeing this situation, Xieli felt that the other party was simply joking with him. "Li Shimin, are you here? "How dare you come!" The Turkic generals didn't seem to have expected that the Tang emperor would come in person, and panicked when they saw this, they dismounted one after another and lined up to pay homage.Under Xie Li's nose, his subordinates paid homage to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which made Xie Li feel that his self-esteem was greatly hurt.But for many people, this is nothing more than the courtesy of the northern peoples to the emperor of the Central Plains.In the next second, everyone will be thankful that they made the right decision.

As soon as the worship was over, countless troops poured out from behind Li Shimin. The banners were densely covered, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the rumbling sound made the ground tremble. The chief of the Turks was terrified by this scene. According to Xie Li, the Turks negotiated with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty should use money to eliminate the disaster. How to explain this situation now?Xieli will not explain, because he is the most speechless.Originally, coming to Chang'an to rob was a relaxed and enjoyable thing. I didn't expect things to develop in an unexpected direction. Moreover, my subordinates were already ready to rob and supply Chang'an to death.

What to do? Li Shimin looked at the Turkic army calmly, and then he made a gesture that made everyone - including Tang Jun and Turkic - terrified. All Tang soldiers retreat immediately! Jieli couldn't take it anymore, what the hell is Li Shimin doing? ! In fact, the momentum created by thousands of Tang soldiers did not give much confidence to the ministers, especially Xiao Yu.Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to do something stupid, Xiao Yu became stubborn and refused to let him do it no matter what.Li Shimin looked at Xiao Yu who was gnashing his teeth anxiously, and said, "I'll go meet Jieli, and I'll explain to you later." Xiao Yu's patience is probably limited to a small number of Tang soldiers behind him, but now , Li Shimin waved back all the soldiers and horses, let alone go there alone.

As we have said, student Xiao Yu is straight-tempered and determined, and his main feature is that he becomes speechless when he is in a hurry.At this moment, Xiao Yu was speechless.He didn't speak at all, dismounted and grabbed the rein to prevent Li Shimin from leaving.Seeing Xiao Yu like this, Li Shimin could only calm down and explain to him patiently: "Jieli bullies me as a newcomer, if I show a little weakness, he will kill and set fire without scruple; If you look down on him, they will be suspicious, and if they are suspicious, they will not dare to act rashly. Do you all understand?"

Then, looking across the bank, he said in a very calm tone: "To subdue the Turks, in one fell swoop, you stay behind and wait for me to come back!" The sun was shining on the vast area outside the city gate, and the Wei River was sparkling. Li Shimin, who was wearing a golden armour, rode past alone on horseback.On the other side, Xieli looked suspiciously at what happened in front of him.Li Shimin began to shout, and the two talked to each other on both sides of the Weishui River, the content of the conversation is unknown.All I know is that on that day, Jieli sent envoys to ask for peace, and Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to approve it.The edict immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion circles. "how did you do that?" "It's nothing, I can be sure that the Turkic came this time not to occupy land, but to rob money." Li Shimin said so. Soon, a group of high-ranking Turkic officials satisfied Li Shimin's assumption, and they even ran to the palace to worship without any precaution.To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that they didn't eat delicious food along the way, this time they went to the palace to meet Li Shimin, just for a meal, with meat! After drinking, he made a slip of the tongue, and Turkic's shortcomings were fully exposed. From their words, Li Shimin analyzed: First, the Turkic army that went deep into the Guanzhong was caught off guard by the Xuanwumen Incident, and in a short period of time gathered various tribes to send troops southward, acting hastily and demoralizing; Second, there are a large number of Turks, but they penetrated deep into the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and they had no idea; Third, robbing wealth is their sole purpose. Jieli has the ambition to plot the world, but has no plan to overthrow the world. Those who follow him are all here to eat. The above three points fully prove that Comrade Xieli is very good at judging the situation, and it also fully proves that except for Xieli, other people are really less and less promising than before (if you don’t believe me, please look at the Turkic officials who eat meat and eat oily mouths) .Li Shimin, the defender of the tradition, promoted the traditional virtue that the visitor is the guest, and the guest must eat and drink, and got them drunk.Everyone calls brother and brother, for the sake of fairness, I call you brother, you call me father, etc., talk about wine and talk endlessly.At this moment, an evil idea spread in the palace. Someone reminded that most of the Turkic military officers and counselors drank in the palace, leaving only Xieli and a group of people worried on the west bank of the Wei River. So, how about killing them all while taking advantage of this opportunity? Everyone laughed evilly. Actually not at all. The truth must not be that simple, Li Shimin knows the current situation better than anyone else.He is not only a first-class general, but also a leader in the public relations field.The actual situation is that there is no connection between Zhi Shi Si Li and Li Shimin in the history books, but more than a thousand years later, we can clearly see from the epitaph of Zhi Shi Si Li that the two had conspired long ago.The reason why Li Shimin dared to scold him on the spot was nothing more than to embolden the ministers. Afterwards, he lost his mind and told Li Shimin all the secrets of Xieli. "The Epitaph of Zhishi Shanguang" said that he (the owner of the tomb, Zhishi Shanguang), the uncle Zhishi Sili, had become friends with Li Shimin as early as when he beat Liu Wuzhou.From this, it is not difficult to see that the two of you sang together, and performed a flawless show, successfully fooling everyone. Now, if the high-ranking Turkic officials were really going to be wiped out, it would probably not be what Li Shimin wanted. A few days ago, Li Shimin learned the news that the Turks were going south. At that time, the old black lieutenant Chi Jingde was guarding Jingyang, motionless, and the Turkic army passing by was defenseless, and when they crossed the border, a large piece was bitten off by him, and more than a thousand Turkic soldiers died tragically.Li Shimin has also made full preparations for the current situation. At this moment, Changsun Wuji and Li Jing have already set up an ambush on the only way (Youzhou) that Jieli must pass to return to his teacher.They waited for the Turks to eat and drink enough to go back. What should be paid back, not a single point less! But what to do, many people have different opinions. Xiao Yu believes that detaining Turkic tribal leaders is the best option. Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I have just ascended the throne, the country is not safe, and the people are not rich. A battle will cost a lot of troops. If they resist desperately, I think everyone knows whether the consequences are serious or not. If so, after they return to the grassland , will definitely strengthen the armament, and it will only be more difficult to deal with. If an agreement is signed, let them go, raise them with gold, silver and jewelry, and serve them with good wine and meat. With the character of the Turkic people, it is impossible not to degenerate. "Full of arrogance and lax defense, when we have enough rest, we will suddenly dispatch the army, and we will be destroyed in one fell swoop!" This is the principle that if you want to take what you want, you must first give it. Composition is a traditional Chinese classic, except for pattern composition. It can be seen that Comrade Li Shimin has carefully read Jia Yi's composition.Jia Sheng once published the theory of "five baits and three forms".The so-called five baits are exactly what Li Shimin said is the means of using money to destroy the enemy's will and using luxury to rot the enemy's heart.Ban Gu once laughed at Jia Yi, thinking that such an unreliable strategy can only be conceived by scholars.But the facts have proved that money and food are indeed the most effective poison for an unconstrained collective. The strategies that seem the most ridiculous are often the most vicious. The world has not changed, even after thousands of years. Three days later, Li Shimin and Jieli Bianqiao beheaded the white horse to form an alliance, and the Turks withdrew. The matter should come to an end, but back to Turkic, the more Xieli thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. At the end, he slapped his thigh and shouted that he was cheated. Under what circumstances, a person with an advantage would sign such a contract that lost face ?How could Li Shimin be so stupid?Thinking of these, Xieli seemed to understand.Fear, only fear, is the root cause of Central Plains people's loss of power and humiliation of the country. Because of fear, they do not hesitate to ask for peace with gold, silver and beautiful women. Such neighbors can only be slaughtered! Jieli smiled. Jieli is a kind person. Although the treaty only stated that the Tang Dynasty had to pay a lot of money to honor Jieli every year, but based on the principle of not getting rich all the time, Jieli decided to give the Tang Dynasty a gift—three thousand horses and sheep. Ten thousand.However, to Xieli's surprise, Li Shimin didn't want to send the baby to his door, but only asked to recall the Chinese population plundered by the Turks.If a person is so stupid as Li Shimin, he should really go to the hospital to have a look. But if the opponent is stupid, Xieli is naturally willing to accompany him. Because of the population, you can use him, he is not as good as the Turkic people who can ride horses, and is not as good as the Turkic people who can smelt iron; you don’t use him, the Turkic people can’t farm land. On the grassland where there are no crops, so many people can only be in vain. increase the burden on the tribe.Don't tens of thousands of people have to take care of everything they eat, drink, and scatter?You can't starve to death, and you can't throw it away. Throw it away and run back to the Tang Dynasty. Where will the old Turkic face be put?Am I still the mighty Khan? ! Li Shimin's pursuit stimulated Xieli's nerves, which was the effect he longed for. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, and I hope we can become friends." Xie Li said. Li Shimin smiled and continued with his plan. I have always believed that among the ancient emperors, Li Shimin was the most benevolent, and Li Shimin was the most cunning.Soon after, he exiled Pei Qiantong and others who had been praised by Li Yuan for killing Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.Li Shimin is telling people with actions that you must not betray your monarch at any time.The superficial reason for suppressing Pei Qiantong was "killing rebels in the Sui Dynasty", but the real reason was to make people loyal to the emperor. A person who is good at betraying others will definitely betray you too. This is Li Shimin's theory. The idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor cannot be judged by good or bad. The person who loves you is worthy of your love. This is the simplest way to judge.Li Shimin knows that if he wants to be a monarch who loves the people like his son, he must abandon all vulgar illusions.If you want to deal with Xieli, you must start training troops, and training is the most urgent task. In the era of cold weapons, bows and arrows were the main weapons for long-distance combat. Back then, Comrade Li Yuan was superb with arrows, and every arrow could destroy an enemy.So, if a team of sharpshooters is formed, what will the effect be?These days, making people practice archery well is like making people listen to lectures well. After training for a long time, it would be nice to have a few days of hard practice every month. How to solve this problem? Li Shimin said: "I want to teach everyone myself!" As soon as this remark came out, the public opinion circle was in an uproar. Someone said: "The emperor is on the shooting range. If someone plots to do something wrong, wouldn't he be a target?" Li Shimin didn't care, and explained: "It's not enough to fight every day, it's painful to be idle every day (the original text is worrying). From now on, everyone must practice archery hard, just in case. If you practice well, You are my guards in your spare time, and you are Tang warriors in war. You are all living on the rice of the common people, so you must be worthy of my Tang people!" After speaking, he scanned the audience. From this moment on, people can see Li Shimin leading hundreds of people to practice archery in the open space of the East Palace every day, and sometimes he even demonstrates it to everyone. Practice, practice, practice! Li Shimin set up a complete set of incentives. Soldiers who practice well have the opportunity to win rich prizes, such as Modao, Haoqiang, Big Bow, Jade Silk... not only soldiers have to practice, but also generals must not be idle. Every day they have to be assessed by shooting targets and awarded according to the assessment results.We have said that Li Shimin's arrow skills are as perverted as Li Yuan's. Under his guidance and care, it is difficult for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to figure out the arrow skills.But still the same sentence, the emperor spent every day on the training ground, and many people objected. We do not rule out the schizophrenic who was a soldier. He didn't want to shoot Li Shimin originally, but he (he is not the other, I hope you and you can understand) wanted to shoot, so he and him started a fierce ideological struggle. In the end, it was decided to shoot three arrows together and kill Li Shimin on the shooting range—it was not impossible. Or there is someone who wants to rebel, the better the archery is, the more dangerous it is. When a person is in the shooting range, as soon as the signal is issued, an arrow will go through the heart. Li Shimin will be killed on the spot. It is too late to regret! There is also a fierce man named Feng Tongren who lives in the governor of Hanzhou. After hearing about what Comrade Emperor did, he rode a post horse and falsely passed on the battle report. The soldiers stared blankly.Later everyone understood that this man had come to persuade the emperor to give up such a dangerous action that killed people.Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and joined the ranks of Roller, begging Li Shimin to go back to the palace and rest with earnest words and tears. Seeing the bitter tears of the ministers, Li Shimin said emotionally: "Okay, I understand. If I am sincere to the soldiers, the soldiers will be sincere to me, do you understand?" The crying stopped and everyone fell silent.
