Chang'an City began to celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival, and when Tuli was captured, the residents of Chang'an City continued to celebrate here.
After Beidi Jieli returned to the Yinshan camp, his confidants hurriedly came closer to report to him.
"Khan, our troops and horses at our headquarters did not suffer much losses, but the small attached tribes suffered heavy losses."
Jie Li sat there with a frosty face in the large tent of the Chinese army. No one could tell what he was thinking here, but in the end he sighed.
"The Tang people are so cunning that they dare to attack our city, but now I don't know if the Tang army will attack us again."
After Jie Li asked this question, his confidant hurriedly spoke here.
"Don't worry, Khan. We will arrange to send out sentries now to spy on the situation of the Tang Army. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, so the Tang Army will probably not take any action."
The words of this confidant made Jie Li feel warm in his heart.
"Yes! The mountains are blocked by heavy snow. If the Tang army moves again, it may not be as difficult as it is.
It is still unclear whether Li Shimin's soldiers can withstand the severe cold. He can make a comeback, but what about Li Shimin? How can we do it again when there is a shadow after defeat? "
After Jieli thought about the current situation clearly, he looked at Nanfang and said viciously.
"Just wait for me. When I regain my strength in the spring of next year, I will lead my cavalry southward and make your Chang'an city miserable."
After Xie Li said this, his confidant hurriedly spoke beside him.
"The Khan can also take the opportunity to establish the Sui Emperor as the new emperor and declare to the world that the world will rebel against the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the entire Han people's world will be destroyed without any attack, and we will be able to let our great Turks run freely. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
What his confidant said made Jieli very itchy in his heart, and he happily made arrangements.
"Go and see how the little Queen Mother and his grandson are doing? Are they still in our hands? Don't let them be detained by the Tang army."
After Jie Li made arrangements, this confidant did not go out, but stayed here talking to Jie Li.
"Khan, there is no need to worry. We all ran out with the families of former Sui officials. After all, they are near our camp and can move quickly."
Jie Li looked very satisfied with the person in front of him.
"Yes, yes, you are very good. I will remember you. I will not treat you badly when our great Turks rise again."
Jie Li said this, and the official nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Thank you Khan, thank you Khan. I'm sure I'll be very embarrassed, and I won't hesitate to do anything."
After a group of Turks in the North returned to the Yinshan camp, it might be because the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, or it might be because Jieli led his soldiers from top to bottom and did not take the Tang army seriously. He only wanted his own troops. There was not much loss, so what would it matter if Dingxiang City was lost? After all, Yinshan is their base camp.
Just when they relaxed their vigilance, one team after another, under the leadership of their respective generals, the Tang army marched towards the designated position.
Jie Li did not get any news about the large-scale mobilization of the Tang army. Even if he sent out many scouts, it was just that the weather was freezing and the scouts could not be too far away from Yinshan. They had to discover this place that was dozens of miles away from them. It was difficult for the Tang army outside the city to move towards the designated attack position.
After all the Tang troops arrived at the appropriate positions, Li Jing, a brave man with a high skill level, took several generals to the front line to inspect.
Prepare to see the situation on the front line so as to make arrangements that are most beneficial to Datang.
On the far horizon, some white tents loomed on a mountain. That was the Yinshan Camp, where Jieli was currently stationed.
Li Jing watched from a distance, thinking about how to break through Yinshan, while Xu Yunyan was one of the generals accompanying Li Jing. Xu Yunyan, who didn't know what to think, took a step forward.
"Master, do you want us to raid the camp late at night? Just like Gan Ning did?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Jing looked at him and shook his head. "No, no, there's no way we can keep Jie Li off guard. It's difficult to attack him in this state. What's more, there are tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry. If we're not careful, our entire army will be annihilated."
After Li Jing said this, Xu Yunyan was a little surprised. This was not in line with Li Jing's personality. Isn't he good at making surprise attacks?
When Nan Liang was destroyed, wasn't it because of the surprise attack that led to the complete destruction of Nan Liang? And in history, when he led Renhe and Jieli to relax his vigilance during peace talks, he sent out surprise troops to attack Yinshan at night. Why was it so inappropriate when he made this suggestion?
However, it was Xu Yunyan's own muttering words that made him understand, as if he thought of something and suggested something to Li Jing.
"How about we arrange for an envoy to make peace with Jie Li in the name of His Majesty, and wait until we have finally reached an agreement with Jie Li, which has delayed Jie Li and made him relax his vigilance towards us, and then launch a sudden attack on him?"
Xu Yunyan's strategy won Li Jing's favor. Li Jing was here stroking his beard and thinking deeply.
"This is a very good idea."
However, Li Jing hadn't arranged anything yet, but Yu Chigong beside him said something.
"General, it seems inappropriate to send an envoy under the guise of the emperor's order, right?"
Yuchi Gong could even think of this, and Li Jing was also watching here, but Xu Yunyan was a little anxious.
"But if you want to stabilize Jieli, you can only do this. Then please ask the general to write a letter to your majesty. After receiving your majesty's order, the messenger brought us a mission. I am going to negotiate with Jieli and stabilize the situation. Jieli, isn’t this beautiful?”
It was just that Li Jing shook his head after Yu Chigong made such a suggestion.
"Soldiers are very quick. If we stay in this freezing snowfield for just a moment longer, some soldiers will lose their lives in vain. For the sake of your majesty's important mission, I decided to take the risk."
Xu Yunyan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, this matter was brought up by my disciple. It has nothing to do with the master if the disciple bears any responsibility."
But after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Yuchi Gong was also here to speak.
"I am also involved in this matter, I have a share."
These generals are here to ensure that the generals behind them are here to look at each other.
"Hey? What do you think ***? I don't know about this matter, and I haven't heard about it. I only know that I was ordered to attack the Turks, and I don't know anything else."
Although these petty officials pretended not to get involved, this was the best way. They knew these things here, but they said they didn't know, which was already the greatest support for Li Jing.
Li Jing looked at them, "You are the pillars of the country. If you have such a heart, I will not let you be blamed in any way. What's the matter? I, the general manager of the march, will bear all the responsibility."
But as soon as Li Jing finished speaking, Xu Yunyan and other generals were hurriedly moved and saluted and clasped their fists.
But after working here for a while, Xu Yunyan continued to talk here.
"Master, you seem to have forgotten something?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Jing looked at him curiously.
"Oh? Master, I forgot something. What did I forget?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Jing here and spoke slowly.
"When I was in the Northland, I used to act cheaply. Although I went back, now I'm back in the Northland. It seems that General Yuchi didn't remember that when he was out escorting grain and grass, His Majesty also told me to act cheaply."
Yuchi Gong scratched his head here, "Well, that seems to be the case."
Yu Chigong's words made everyone happy. No matter what status or status everyone has, they are all happy here.
"Okay, very good! Then arrange a messenger to make peace with Jie Li as you said. But who should be sent there?" For a while, the big tent fell into silence again, and Xu Yunyan looked left and right. , just when he was about to see who was suitable, Li Jing suddenly looked at him and said something.
"Li Ying!"
"The general is here!"
Xu Yunyan responded by mistake, and after Li Ying responded to Li Jing's words, everyone couldn't help but look at him,
"You want General Li to do such a thing? I think this is appropriate!"
One person said this, but before Xu Yunyan could see clearly who he was, he looked at another person echoing here.
"I also agree with what General Cui said."
"Who's surnamed Cui? I remember you."
But before Xu Yunyan could murmur a few words, many generals and commanders agreed, agreeing that Li Ying should be the general who made peace with Jie Li.
Xu Yunyan's face looks so ugly. Is there something wrong? Let me go. What if this Jieli hears me coming and cuts me with a knife?
Li Jing looked at Xu Yunyan after hearing that many generals supported Yunyan to go.
"Li Ying, what do you think of the generals recommending you to be the messenger of peace?"
After Li Jing looked at him, Xu Yunyan felt so embarrassed in his heart! Watching Li Jing turn around in despair.
"The general will obey the general's instructions. As long as the general needs it, I will do whatever it takes."
"very good."
Li Jing touched his chin here, not caring that Xu Yunyan had already achieved the first victory over Dingxiang, but pushed him into the tiger's mouth.
This could lead to death if not careful, and after Li Jing said it was very good, he looked at Xu Yunyan making arrangements here.
"Then let General Li choose the right manpower. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Yinshan with great fanfare to stabilize Jieli. I will mobilize the army at the right time and launch a fatal blow to Jieli."
Li Jing told Xu Yunyan his preparations in no uncertain terms, but Xu Yunyan clasped his fists at Li Jing as if he was hopeless and ready to leave his last words.
"The general will go out and prepare now."
He wanted to say something but didn't say it. He just walked out of the tent without hesitation, giving people the feeling that the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and that a strong man will never come back.
Yuchi Gong, who was present, wiped his eyes.
"General, is this appropriate?"
After Yu Chigong, Li Jing looked at him a little unhappy, "As a general of the Tang Dynasty, you should do things that ordinary people can't do. Otherwise, why would the people of the Tang Dynasty support me? And this is an opportunity to complete the task in one battle and completely solve the problem." Opportunity for Turks."
When Li Jing said this, Yuchi Gong stopped saying anything. Instead, he took a step back and looked at Xu Yunyan who was walking away. Xu Yun was just walking aimlessly in the camp.
Tomorrow I will go to Jieli Military Camp to do what Tang Jian once did. Why am I so miserable? But this time, as an envoy from the Tang Dynasty, what should I bring?
Now I was worried about what I should bring as a messenger.
While Xu Yunyan was touching his chin here, he looked at the military supplies in the distance and paid attention.
correct! There are many cattle, sheep and horses in this camp. Bring some cattle, sheep and horses with you.
But as soon as Xu Yunyan thought of cattle, sheep and horses, she shook her head.
No, no, these cattle, sheep and horses were captured by the Turks. If you bring them back to them, isn't this causing hatred? Then bring some food and supplies? That's okay!
Bring more, anyway, after General Li sends troops to capture Yinshan, the food and grass will still be ours, there will be no loss. Even if we lose a little in the war, the cattle, sheep and horses will be enough to eat.
With such a plan, Xu Yunyan happily walked towards the grain and grass camp, preparing to extract some grain and grass, remove the soldiers, and then go to Jieli's Yinshan Camp tomorrow.
