Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Ashina Dubi thought for a while and said, "Ben Khan decided to meet Tang envoy in Princess Yicheng's tooth tent!"

Tang Jian was one of Li Yuan's advisers. When Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Tang Jian participated in the planning.In the first year of Wude (618), he was promoted to be the Minister of Zhongshu.In the second year of Wude (619), Tang Jian learned that Dugu Huai'en was going to rebel.Dugu Huai'en is stationed in Puzhou, and Tang Jian sends people to expose Dugu Huai'en's rebellion.After Chen Ying defeated Liu Wuzhou, Tang Jian worshiped as Minister of Rites because of his meritorious service.

This time he proposed himself as an envoy to the Turks, hoping to use his eloquent tongue to make the Turks speechless and force the Turks to retreat.

It's just a pity that Tang Jian didn't know a very famous saying in later generations: "Weak countries have no diplomacy!"

Tang Jian traveled all the way to Dingxiang in a light car, and was detained by the Turkic people without even seeing Jieli Khan. Dozens of people from the entire Tang mission were all locked in the sheep pen.

Ordinarily, as a diplomatic ambassador of a country, it is a shame and a shame to be treated like this.Tang Jian had a bit of the spirit of Ah Q. He thought Turkic people were barbaric and vulgar, and they didn't know etiquette at all, so Tang Jian was also knowledgeable like Turkic people.

But Turkic deliberately wanted to humiliate Tang Jian. Not only did he not give him a place to live, but he even ate spoiled mutton with blowflies.

A bowl of water a day, a piece of spoiled mutton, after three days, Tang Jian was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.Fortunately, at this time, the Turks told Tang Jian that Jieli Khan was going to see him.Tang Jian was overjoyed, and hurriedly washed his hands and face with the saved water, combed his hair, and tidied up his clothes to avoid being rude.

Wearing a beam crown on his head and official uniform, Tang Jian bowed to Jieli Khan and Princess Yicheng, neither humble nor overbearing: "My Majesty's Minister of Rites, Tang Jian, pays homage to Khan and princess."

The faces of all the Turkic ministers suddenly became gloomy, and Princess Yicheng was also a little surprised. He looked at Tang Jian and wondered what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Ashina Aggressive's brow ridges moved, but he didn't attack immediately, he just nodded lightly.

Bu Lugen stepped forward and yelled: "The southern barbarians are so rude. Even if Li Yuan came in person, he would have to pay respects to our Khan. What's more, you are a minister of a small country, and you are proud of yourself. What's the reason?"

Tang Jian looked up at Bu Lugen, and said lightly: "Is there no one in Turkic? Let an ignorant villain be in the pilgrimage class, the history of the sage, have you read it all in the stomach of a dog? ?”

One question made Bu Lugen's face flushed, and he flew into a rage: "The concubine is so bold, how dare you insult the minister of the Great Turk?"

All the Turkic ministers pulled out their knives one after another. They were indeed not as good as Tang Jian in terms of eloquence, but they all had knives.A dozen scimitars were aimed at Tang Jian one after another. As long as Jieli Khan gave an order, they would smash Tang Jian's body into thousands of pieces.

However, Jieli Khan did not issue this order for a long time.Jieli Khan waved his hands and said, "Everyone back down!"

Jieli Khan can't be happy now, because he originally wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to be a pair of heavenly kings, so he directly sent Chen Ying, the god of death, now Chen Ying is only seven years away from Dingxiang. During the eight-day journey, facing Chen Ying, the murderous god, Jieli Khan had no idea.

But as soon as Xieli Khan's words came out, goose bumps fell all over the Turkic ministers.

I saw Jieli Khan: "Tang envoy, I think there is some misunderstanding between us Turks and Tang Dynasty. Our two countries are separated by a strip of water, so don't hurt the peace."

Chapter 54 Reunion

Chapter 54 Reunion

Barbarism is not stupidity, this is the eternal truth.

The evil neighbors in northern China are often barbarians, but they are not stupid.Whenever Huaxia was weak, they turned into devils, robbing and killing without restraint, and treated Huaxia as their own private land, and came here every once in a while to reap wealth.

But whenever Huaxia is strong, they will immediately become extremely submissive and humble.Just like now, Jieli Khan's attitude is not only not domineering, nor arrogant, but looks gentle and personable.

"Don't hurt your peace!" When Tang Jian heard this sentence, he had the urge to laugh out loud.Although he didn't know what happened, he could be sure that the Turkic people gave up at this moment.

As a matter of fact, Jieli Khan Ashina Dobi not mentioned how depressed he was. Ever since Chen Ying of the Tang Dynasty came out of Lingzhou, the Turks had never won against the Tang Dynasty. The same is true for Hedong.

Ashina Duobi will never forget how he escaped back when he led an army of [-] to follow Liu Wuzhou to the east of the river.Of the [-] people who controlled strings, less than half of them returned to the grassland, and the results of more than half a year of frenzied robbery were wiped out overnight.

Now he wanted to force Li Tang to make concessions, but he didn't expect Li Tang's reaction to be so strong. He just sent the envoy Tang Jian to question him, and then released Chen Ying. Not only Chen Ying, but also the most elite troops of Datang All dispatched.

Jieli Khan also paid close attention to the Tang, Zheng and Xia Three Kingdoms dispute half a year ago.The reason why Li Tang was able to win a big victory was not because of the tens of thousands of troops led by Li Shimin, but because of the rate of the left and right guards and the left and right guards of the East Palace led by Chen Ying and his subordinates. Now Li Tang's left and right guards of the East Palace lead , The left and right Siyu rates have already crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, along the Shuque Valley, all the way north, and have arrived in Jiexiu.

And his cavalry went up along the Yellow River, and they might reach Shuozhou, and they could follow his back at any time.

The situation became more and more severe, and Jieli Khan had to deal with it carefully.

Tang Jian, as the Minister of Rites and one of Li Yuan's confidants when he stayed in Taiyuan, his mind turned faster. When he heard this, he smiled coldly and said: "The foreign minister is ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to come to ask Jie Li Khan, what is the intention of the Turkic army coming to Dingxiang?"

Jieli Khan said without hesitation: "We Turks have absolutely no malicious intentions. Ben Khan just came to Yinshan to herd horses. He definitely has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing this, Tang Jian felt very comfortable.However, he admired Chen Ying's talent even more. Chen Ying concluded that once he stepped forward to question Jieli Khan, Ashina Duobi would never easily launch a war against Datang until he could not figure out Li Tang's reality, because Datang I can't afford to lose, and Jieli Khan can't afford to lose when he first ascended the Khan position.

Once the war fails, relying on the Turkic people to have a daughter is a mother's nature, and they will immediately abandon Jieli Khan and appoint other people as Khans.You must know that the Ashina family, as the royal family of the Turks, is not only the heir of Ashina Dubi, such as Ashina Osheshe and Ashina Sheer, he also has the right to inherit, and these In the year Ashina Sheertuo set up, set up the tooth flag in Mobei, commanded Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other tribes, relying on less than [-] people who control the strings, and suppressed the Xueyantuo tribe and Tiele (both the Huns) who had [-] people. Descendants) to be honest and not dare to disagree.

As long as he is defeated, Ashina Sheer, who has a good reputation, is very likely to become the new Turkic Khan.

As the saying goes, the matter of life and death is small, but the matter of injustice is great.Ashina Duobi would never allow himself to capsize in the gutter at this time.

Asina Dubi said this, feeling that his own breeze should not be too weak. He changed the subject and continued: "Tang Shi Mingjian, now this Khan is sitting on the Great Xianbei, the vast sea, and the West Sea. Millions, but I don’t mean to bully your lord. How many territories and soldiers does your lord have now? Ben Khan doesn’t care about it. As long as Datang is willing to serve this Khan as his master, Ben Khan will withdraw his troops immediately! "

"This proposal of being a minister, please Khan don't bring it up again!" Tang Jian said neither arrogant nor humble: "I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, should be equal to the Turkic Khan!"

Bu Lugen sneered and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of remnant soldiers in a mere land of thousands of miles, and they actually want to be equal to the Turks, what a fool's dream.

Tang Jian ignored Bu Lugen, looked at Ashina Doubi and said, "My Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is less than a thousand miles away, but he defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in a row, and pointed his sword outside the pass; Inside and outside..."

He paused, and glanced at Ashina Dubi: "At this moment, the tens of thousands of elites led by General Chen resolutely went north...Your Majesty, although the Turks are strong, they are still threatened by Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks. Underneath; although Li and Tang are weak, they are the weights of the scales. If you help the Western Turks, the Western Turks will rise;

All the ministers of the East Turkic Empire had a hard look on their faces when they heard the words.

To fight or to make peace, for everyone, this is definitely a very difficult question to decide.

As Tang Jian said, if Li and Tang made good friends with East Turks at this time, it is not impossible for East Turks to take advantage of the situation and concentrate on attacking westward, unify East and West Turks, and end the division of Turks.

But, in the same way, once Li Tang helps the Western Turks, the Western Turks can destroy the Eastern Turks.

Bu Lugen sighed and said, "Help the Western Turks? The envoy of the Tang Dynasty laughed at my ignorance. Now the Western Turks seem to be attacking Liangzhou Tong in the Tang Dynasty. Does the Tang Lord still want to shake hands with the Western Turks and make peace?"

"This is natural!" Tang Jian said: "Just when a certain envoy was sent to the Eastern Turks, there was also a group of envoys who went to Liang to meet with the Western Turkic Tong Yehu Khan. I wonder if you can guess that Tong Yehu Khan will How to choose?"

Hearing this, Jieli Khan's expression changed drastically.

Diplomacy is just a political method. As the saying goes, hooligans are not to be feared, as long as hooligans are educated. Once educated people play hooligans, it is the most deadly.

Jieli Khan frowned, even if he didn't use his head to think about it with his knees, he knew how Tong Yehu would make a decision.

It's not that Jieli Khan didn't want to break into Guanzhong and destroy Li Tang.The key is that there are too many cities in the Tang Dynasty, and a few have thousands of them. This does not include the densely packed Wubao. There are only a thousand Wubao in Hedong, Hebei, and Hanoi. How many people lost?

Regardless of the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, there is a fatal flaw. They will not attack the city. It is okay to let them fight in the wild, but the siege...

They are still too far away.

A decision must be made as soon as possible.

……

Naturally, Chen Ying didn't know about the talks between Tang Jian of Dingxiang and Jieli Khan, but he did know that surprises and surprises are the essence of military strategists.

He did not hesitate to hide the truth, and even made a big commotion in Luliang Mountain. In fact, there was only one purpose, to create the illusion that he was about to be in Hedong, and at the same time, let the Western Turks not guard against his arrival. When the Western Turks were most slack, they gave the Western Turks a fatal blow. .

Just as Tang Jian and Jieli Khan were evasively arguing in Dingxiang, Chen Ying arrived in Lingzhou in light clothes.The closer he got to Lingzhou, the more excited Chen Ying became.

Chen Ying, who has been a man for two lifetimes, is the first time to be a father.
