Li Shan felt a little regretful, but also remembered that he raided Zuoyun County that day and found many treasures, many of which he gave to Eleven Niang. After returning to Beijing, Zhang mentioned a few things, many of which were The things from the Central Plains should be those from the former Sui clan. Dolphin
What a pity, what a pity.
"Then let's talk about it." Li Shan thought for a while and said softly: "If we can suppress Ashina She'er, we can find a reason to send back the King of Xiangyi and the Duke of Pingyuan County, and also capture Liang Jun here. General He Sui, can I be replaced?"
Tuli Khan nodded silently and looked up at the sky. It was already dark... This was to remind Li Shan.
Li Shan held Tuli Khan's hands and said sincerely: "Brother, please be careful when you go here, but you can do one thing, two things, but not three things. Remember this."
Tuli Khan's face changed slightly, knowing that this was a warning from the other party. It was the first time to attack Yanmen Pass and Guji Town, and this battle was the second time. The third time was not so easy to talk about.
After seeing off the Tuli Khan, Li Shan stood there and stared for a long time. What choice would this young Khan who helped Li Shimin destroy the Eastern Turks in history make... But one thing is for sure, he has great feelings for Ashina She Your hatred is genuine and not fake.
"The Turks will inevitably withdraw their troops." Li Shan looked at Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo who were walking over, and said with a smile: "The ones who attacked before were probably Tu Li's subordinates."
Dou Gui nodded in agreement, and Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "This battle has frightened Dubu Khan, how dare he come back again."
Li Shan was silent for a while, then changed the topic, "Today I was sent back to the enemy chief alone, and your Majesty should be punished..."
"Huairen's words are wrong..." Wen Yanbo was stunned. As soon as he said the words, Li Shan had already walked away quickly.
"Cough, cough, cough." Dou Gui coughed twice, and Wen Yanbo, who was about to catch up, stopped and looked back hesitantly.
"Yan Bo shall formally impeach him." Dou Gui said expressionlessly, "Even if he has to be sent home, it should be your Majesty's decision."
Wen Yanbo lowered his voice and said sternly: "Brother Shize, what do you mean by this?"
"Dubu Khan's vitality is severely weakened. If the Turks are not sent back, the Turks will be unified by the Turks. When the time comes..."
"Hey, Yanbo!" Dou Gui sighed and interrupted: "It's just a reason."
Wen Yanbo was stunned, hesitated for a while and whispered: "How about looting Zuo Yun last year?"
Dou Gui nodded. Last year, Li Shan led his army to defeat the Turks three times. On his way back to the army, he sent troops to sack Zuoyun County. After returning to the court, he was impeached by many courtiers... This time it was even more exaggerated. He defeated two khans in one fell swoop and killed many people. He has great military achievements, but no matter how loyal he is, he will still be jealous, let alone at such a young age.
Looking at Li Shan's back, Wen Yanbo reacted. He walked so fast, which was a reminder in itself, but then Wen Yanbo's expression changed, "Brother Shi Ze, please show your respect...Brother Shi Ze, don't leave!" "
As Li Shan guessed, Tuli Khan left from the east side and joined Ashina Jisheli along the Hongshui River. The Turks' attack quickly stopped... The one who attacked before was not Ashina. Na·she'er should be the association rate.
"Let's go back to the grassland." Tuli Khan said bitterly: "We will set off overnight."
Ashina Jishe led hesitantly and said: "It is difficult to travel at night, in case the Tang army attacks."
"It won't come." Tuli Khan paused and said in a more serious tone: "It will never come."
On the one hand, although Tuli Khan did not see through everything like Ashina Sheer, he also understood this truth. Li Shanzai had the victory in hand and had already taken the initiative to regain Yuanzhou. The Turks marched at will before returning to the grassland.
On the other hand, when Li Shan saw him off, he swore that he would not pursue him... He also expected you to return to Wuyuan County and fight Ashina Sheer to the death. How could he be willing to kill you?
Tuli Khan was upset, holding the riding crop and whipping it on a small tree. Indeed, just as Li Shan predicted, the Khan no longer expected to win over the tribe by cutting off Li Shan's head. This kind of The hope is too slim... Not to mention myself this time, even Ashina She'er was almost blocked, not to mention so many soldiers burying bones on the mountain road.
Tuli Khan's current target has shifted to Ashina Society
On the one hand, I was forced by the situation, and on the other hand, I had unbearable resentment growing deep in my heart.
Ashina She'er led thousands of king's soldiers to trample on the corpses of his people to escape, but I had to take shelter from the Tang army to survive. If I hadn't been careful, I would have died in the valley.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tuli Khan no longer trusts Ashina She'er, and he also knows that the other party will no longer trust him... If you guessed correctly, Ashina She'er already knows this 80% of the time , Li Huairen will not let go of this opportunity. Dolphin
Well, on this point, Tuli Khan guessed very accurately. Twenty miles away to the north of Baiquan County, among the army that had begun to retreat, Ashina Sheer had a gloomy face and a letter in his hand.
The letter eight days ago, the letter sent today... Ashina Sheer knew very well what Li Huairen was doing, which was just to sow discord, but the problem was that even if he knew that the other party was sowing discord, he and Tuli There is no way Khan will ever be the same again.
If this battle can be won, maybe the alliance can last for a while, but this battle was defeated, and his own vitality was seriously injured, but he managed to break out of the siege, and Tuli Khan was captured... It was because of the previous letter. And the shaky relationship has been exposed.
This time, his vitality was really severely damaged. After Ashina Sheer and Kang Shui reunited, he kept sending people to collect the remaining soldiers. At dusk, he checked and found that he led an army of 60,000 people southward, of which 40,000 were natives. Clan soldiers, as a result, there are now less than 30,000 troops on hand.
"Li Huairen, Li Huairen..." Ashina She'er murmured the name, with a look of confusion in his eyes. Last year, more than 100,000 troops besieged Guji Town. This time, there were more than 100,000 troops again. That man refused to die. But he didn't die. On the contrary, he defeated the enemy every time and achieved great victory every time.
"Is Li Huairen really not a member of the Li Tang royal family when he conferred the title of county king?" Ashina She'er looked at the very embarrassed Ashina Simo, who also escaped death this time.
"Probably not." Ashina Simo said hesitantly: "I heard that in the early years after the First World War in Shandong, I was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County. He was very close to Princess Pingyang, and the Emperor of Tang regarded him as his nephew."
"Who are his father and ancestors?"
"I don't know the name."
"Where is your ancestral home?"
"Longxi Chengji."
Ashina She'er's eyes lit up, "Remember that the Tang Emperor's ancestral home was also Longxi Chengji?"
"yes."
"If there is a rumor in Chang'an that the King of Handan has military power and wants to rebel..." Ashina She'er swallowed, "You can choose some people and give it a try..."
Before he finished speaking, Kang Jue came over in a hurry and said, "Khan, the troops on the other side of the Hongshui River have withdrawn."
"Withdraw troops now?" Ashina Simo's eyes widened.
Ashina She'er's face changed slightly, and she licked her dry lips, "We also retreat and set off immediately!"
Before he sent out troops, he promised Princess Yicheng that he would capture and kill Li Huairen, the king of Handan in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, this promise was meaningless. Ashina Sheer himself knew that the possibility was unlikely, but as long as he could defeat the Tang army, If the plunder is rich, one's status will be guaranteed.
It had been going well before, but this battle was a huge defeat and his vitality was severely damaged... If Tuli Khan was allowed to return to Wuyuan County first, who knows what could happen.
The most detrimental thing to him may be that it would be terrible if Tuli Khan and Princess Yicheng got involved... Although this possibility is unlikely, after all Tuli Khan and Li Huairen are good brothers who are sworn to Jinlan. .
