Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Xieli didn't dare to despise the original cavalry, he began to think of ways and ideas. He sent Zhi Sisili as a messenger to see him to apologize, agreed to surrender, and decided to enter the court in person. Li Shimin, who was in the warm soup, welcomed Zhishisili's arrival very much. In order to comfort Jieli's emotions, he was willing to send Tang Jian to follow Zhishisili back to Mobei for condolences. A wise man has a lot of worries, but he will eventually lose something. In this regard, Li Shimin did not greet Li Jing in advance. Because there is no time. A few days later, Jieli saw Tang Jian who was rushing forward.With the comfort sent by the messenger, his excited mood began to relax. "Comrade Messenger, you should eat and drink. We have horse milk and goat milk here. If you want to eat gazelle, I will shoot you a head myself!"

From Tang Jian's smile, Jieli can see the peaceful scene in the future. It only takes half a year, half a year, and he will regroup and copy Li Shimin's hometown! After learning that Tang Jian went to Tieshan to condolence Xieli on behalf of Datang, Comrade Li Jing got angry. Since the imperial court did not notify him, he had no choice but to lead the army to rendezvous with Li Ji. After some conversation, Li Jing learned that he was not the only one who was anxious, Li Ji was also very angry. Li Ji believes that the peace talks with Jieli now are tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles.He suggested: "Although Jieli was defeated, look at the area around thousands of miles away, and their remnants are still very strong. If these people have been developing their power in Mobei, the road here is far away, and I can't catch up. I regret it again." What's the use! Now that the emperor sends envoys to comfort Xieli, Xieli must relax his vigilance."

Finally, Li Ji expressed his plan: "It's better to select 10,000 elite riders, bring 20 days' worth of food, and launch the last attack, once and for all, today!" Poor Tang Jian. Li Jing fully agreed with Li Ji's plan, and he told Zhang Gongjin about it. Zhang Gongjin objected when he heard the words, he said: "Tang Jian and the others are still in Xieli's hands. If they launch an attack now, they will definitely die!" In the end, he showed his side of not knowing the art of war: "Besides, Xieli has already surrendered. Killing them all is definitely not an option. How can we use this method to win?"

To be honest, Kong Wu's powerful Comrade Zhang Gongjin really didn't understand Li Shimin's intentions. Li Jing expected that Zhang Gongjin would have such worries, so he just threw a word to Zhang Gongjin, "Think about how Han Xin broke the order!" After saying that, he ignored the obstruction, rode on his horse, and personally led the army to march northward at night. Lead the troops to follow.Zhang Gongjin knew that Li Jing was mocking himself. When Han Xin of the Han Dynasty attacked the Qi State, he had already learned that the lobbyist Li Shiqi had persuaded the Qi State to surrender to the Han Dynasty.Han Xin felt that he could no longer fight, so he ordered to withdraw his troops.

A debater in his account reminded him, "The general was ordered to attack Qi, but the King of Han did not let you stop the attack. Now the King of Han sent Li Shiqi to persuade Qi to surrender. He is just a lobbyist. With that mouth you can Taking over seventy cities in Qi State, the general commanded tens of thousands of horses, and captured more than fifty cities in more than a year. The general worked hard and risked his life, but in the end he was not as good as a little Confucian scholar!" After hearing this, Han Xin was quite angry. He led his troops across the river and destroyed Qi State in one go.

This is the story of Han Xin breaking Qi. Li Jing was not worried about whether Tang Jian would take the credit, he just thought that for the whole world, the little scholar was really not worth thinking about. Tang Jun marched in the dark, and soon reached Yinshan Mountain, where they found the trace of Jieli.Xieli was very relieved of Tang Jian, and he thought it would be a good choice to return to Yinshan.In ancient times, there were no TVs, computers, or even light bulbs. Soldiers didn't like to read books, and no one did the work of lighting lamps and cooking oil to read books. Therefore, when Li Jing was standing not far away, most of them were sleeping peacefully in the tent.

They were too reassured about Li Jing, as if they always thought that sheep were very good and easy to fool. Li Jing waved his hand, suddenly, the killing sound shook the sky. Li Jing, Li Ji and other generals rushed forward to encircle and suppress.Jieli's people could only hear the rumble of soldiers and horses outside, and in the next second, they had raised their hands and surrendered, becoming prisoners. From their mouths, Li Jing learned that Xieli was not here, but somewhere far away was Xieli's lair.The sky suddenly became quiet, and the undulating mountains prevented other tribes from being disturbed by this operation.

Now, Li Jing wants a vanguard team to stab Jieli's camp as a forward, disrupting the formation. Who should be sent? Li Ji? This matter cannot be done. Comrade Li Ji is very busy now. At this time, he is deploying troops at Qikou, blocking the only way for Jieli to escape.He is using the advanced strategy of "closing the door and beating the dog" to cut off the enemy's retreat.Of course Li Jing couldn't go by himself. If he led two hundred elites to attack Xieli, who would care about the tens of thousands of troops behind him? In this beautiful battle, we must find a reliable fighter.

Su Dingfang is such an outstanding talent. Name: Su Lie, word Dingfang. Birthday: The twelfth year of Kaihuang (592). Birthplace: Wuyi, Jizhou (Wuyi County, Hebei Province). Occupation: General. Hobbies: Capture enemy generals alive. Combat value: ★★★★★★★ Remarks: Not born out of the world. Su Dingfang has excelled in martial arts since he was a child, and he joined the army with his father at the age of fifteen, and he was famous in the army for his bravery. The young Su Dingfang once beheaded Zhang Jincheng, the general of the Peasant Uprising Army, with his own hands, and his power shocked Shandong.Many mighty generals had died under Su Dingfang's hands, so this person's name was very famous back then.Later, he mixed with Dou Jiande, and then Liu Heita, so we finally understood why the troops of these two men were so vigorous, and dared not to take Li Yuan's regular army seriously.

After Liu Heitai's death, Su Dingfang stopped going out and went back home to live in seclusion. A warrior like him will not live in peace, especially in the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin repeatedly forced his courtiers to recommend talents, whether it was literary or military. Therefore, every day, people came to Su Dingfang's house to chat, and the main topic was to persuade him to become a soldier (recommend meritorious ones, rewards).At that time, he had just come from the reign of Wude, and his life was not very good. He couldn't stand people's persuasion, so Su Dingfang joined the army.Su Dingfang's ability was quickly recognized by others.

Relying on his military exploits, he has grown into an excellent general step by step! He is sure to win every battle and is extremely fierce. When Su Dingfang came to Li Jing's tent, Li Jing would not let a talent like him miss any opportunity to express himself. Su Dingfang was very happy. Su Dingfang was very happy. Su Dingfang was very happy today. Especially today's weather made Su Dingfang feel elusive. The weather is beautiful, there is no rain, no sun, the fog is white, and the visibility is basically zero. This kind of ghost weather is not suitable for driving, not suitable for flying, not suitable for meeting girlfriends, but suitable for surprise attacks.This is also the weather Li Jing wanted the most. In the dark, you have to look at the road, but you can't use torches in this weather. Even if you use them, the enemy can't see you.God help me too, go, Su Dingfang.According to the plan agreed in advance, Su Dingfang led two hundred elites to the vicinity of Jieli's camp first. Ten miles away, the Turkic scouts were unconscious; Nine miles away, the Turkic scouts were unconscious; Eight miles away, they still haven't responded at all... Visibility is nonexistent unless very close to you. Finally, when they were seven miles away from the Turkic camp, the two hundred elites were bumped into by Xieli's scouts. They ran back in a hurry and disappeared into the white mist. The scouts told Xieli about the situation. . Let’s talk about the Turkic camp first. This time, Jieli settled down, and the tribe occupied a territory stretching for hundreds of miles.There are various families, soldiers, women, children, and all kinds of livestock in the living area. The sky is the cover and the earth is the pillow.It's just that today's situation is special, the bedding is a bit too thick, and the visibility is very low. Xie Li was stunned by the scout's words, and Xie Li was fed up with Li Shimin, an unreasonable guy. You said you would stop fighting, why are you still fighting! The subordinate asked: "Khan, what should we do?" Jie Li said: "Why the hell are you standing still, run for me, run non-stop!" In order to run faster, Jieli left his wife and children and the army, snatched a fast horse, and ran away without looking back. The most pitiful ones were the soldiers under Xieli's hands. They didn't understand the situation at all, and ran like headless chickens in the direction where the large army was escaping.This is hard work for those who are easy to get lost. Under the double attack of the fog and Su Dingfang, they all expressed that they could not find the north, and they just rushed forward with their heads in their arms.Two hundred elites stormed the Turkic camp and successfully cornered the Turkic army.Turks are finished. Su Dingfang successfully completed the task assigned by Li Jing, and he drove Jieli's soldiers in front of Li Jing's army. Kill it, and eliminate future troubles forever! The Tang army killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers, captured more than 100,000 men and women, and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous animals. So someone asked, where is Comrade Tang Jian, whom Zhang Gongjin is most worried about now?Wouldn't he also be killed as a Turk? Yes, that's where things get the most hilarious. It is said that the Turkic soldiers collapsed without fighting, and fled in all directions. Jieli ran away on horseback, even ignoring his daughters-in-law, leaving Princess Yicheng and his son crying there.This is a bad thing, but it's also a good thing. Just imagine, would a person who can't even take care of his wife and children think of Tang Dynasty envoys? So, when everyone was yelling and running around like a carnival, Tang Jian also ran around. When everyone saw Tang Bing coming, they ran in the opposite direction of Tang Jun coming, but Tang Jian was different, he went to meet him.Fortunately, Comrade Tang Jian was wearing a Tang official uniform, which was clearly different from the Turkic fur. Tang Bing recognized it at a glance and brought it to Li Jing.Tang Jian had the urge to cry, and he didn't know how this happened. Under the leadership of the generals, Tang soldiers broke into the camp one after another in an orderly manner, killed Princess Yicheng who had been encouraging Jieli to go south, and captured their child Dieluoshi. However, there is a very serious problem in front of everyone: What about Jieli? ! Yes, what about Jieli? At that time, Xie Li was running on his fast horse, and he just ran to Qikou, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers who ran as fast as him behind him. If you run, I will run too. Only when everyone runs is the real running. Passing through Qikou, Xieli felt that something was wrong. At the beginning, there were only 10,000 deserters. When he arrived at this place, he turned his head and found that there were several times more troops!Is this a miracle?Could it be that all my soldiers are reluctant to part with me, and they all come with me?This is too touching! Jieli wanted to cry. The extra troops were not his own, but Li Ji, who led an army to surround him.The chiefs didn't care about Xieli or not. Under Xieli's nose, those chiefs led their troops to surrender one after another, and the Tang army captured them all.Li Ji was a great success, taking 50,000 prisoners and returning them. But what I need to tell everyone is that there is still no Xieli here. Xieli is not a cheap lamp, seeing that the road is blocked, he leads his cronies who can fight to fight a bloody road, and runs all the way to the lost territory of Suni.Upon hearing the news, Li Daozong, the general manager of Datongdao's march, led his troops towards Suni and ordered him to hand over Jieli.Sun Nishi was Xieli's best friend once, and it can be said that you can see the truth when you are in trouble. As we said, Xieli was a suspicious person. In his library, the words "always trustworthy" do not exist.Suni was lost, but he couldn't believe it.In the middle of the night, Jieli got up from his sleep and ran into the barren valley alone to hide.It is said that at that time, he looked very embarrassed.On the second day, Suni woke up suddenly and found that Xieli had escaped. He was terrified, fearing that there was no way to explain it, so he mobilized all the tribesmen to go to Huanggu to search for Xieli. Finally, they found Xieli in a very remote place, and Sunis looked at Xieli excitedly. He breathed a sigh of relief. The next day, Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy general manager of the Datang March, led the army.Suni lost his prisoner, and they escorted Xieli all the way to Chang'an.Suni Shi also followed, and he raised a crowd to surrender, because of his actions, Monan no longer had border troubles.Sunishi is already very loyal, it is Xieli who is too delusional.Who dares to fight Li Shimin?So many lessons, isn't it enough?Save it all, and live a peaceful life for a few days. Jieli Khan of East Turkic was completely defeated by Li Jing and Li Shimin. In stark contrast to Xieli's embarrassment, Comrade Li Shimin should have just taken a bath, climbed up from the hot spring, dried himself, arranged his hair, put on a yellow robe, and happily returned to Chang'an.Thus kicked off a huge ceremony, the main actors are the chiefs of various tribes from all over the world. They were originally tribal chiefs from the Western Regions, Beiting, Lingnan, Jiaozhi, and Southwest. Today they gathered together and came to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to meet Li Shimin. After deliberation, they decided to ask Li Shimin to honor him as "Tian Khan". Maybe it's because of cultural differences. Li Shimin was puzzled by such a great name.In the court hall, in front of everyone, he asked: "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why did I commit myself to become a khan?" It can be seen that Li Shimin is not interested in the title of Khan. The ministers and the chiefs of the four barbarians looked at each other, but the courtiers would still wink, and the report said that the name was changed to Long Live, and everyone was embarrassed to accept it.However, Li Shimin thought about it later, and felt that since other ethnic groups call the Son of Heaven "Khan", then why should they call me "Tian Khan"?Therefore, he readily accepted the title of "Tian Khan". Since that day, there has been such a person in the world. He is not only the emperor of the people in the Central Plains, but also the Khan of the nomads. The distant countries are willing to be his vassals, and the rulers of the countries are willing to call him the Khan of Heaven. When Xieli was captured and brought to Beijing, the event had just begun. Xieli: Damn, didn't you say you want peace talks? ! Li Jing: The most failed audience is you. People talk casually, but you take it seriously.
