Finally, with the explosion of Li Ke's last cannonball, this battle with great disparity in strength came to an end.
The soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties. Oli Khan's face was covered with scars and he held a scimitar in his hand, but he still refused to surrender.
Qin Zaiming was panting heavily at this time and looked exhausted. Fortunately, Quan Wanji also took his few remaining soldiers to the Turkic capital.
Seeing them, Li Ke knew that other Turkic tribes had been captured.
Li Ke held a spear in his hand, jumped off his horse, came to Oli Khan and said, "I am Li Ke who just ascended the throne in Licheng. Does the Khan want to continue fighting?"
Oli Khan looked at the weak young man in front of him, spat out the blood from his mouth and said: "Shi Ke cannot be killed. Our Turkic country has been hegemonic for many years and has never taken Li Shimin seriously." Here, I didn’t expect to be defeated at your hands.”
After saying that, the E-Li Khan looked up to the sky and roared, "Hahahaha... A mere 50,000 people actually occupied the capital of our Turkic country? Li Ke, this Khan admires you. Li Shimin has a good son like you. It’s really enviable.”
"Oli Khan, I admire the bravery of you and your soldiers, but you, a small Turkic country, have harassed my country for many years, and my country has paid tribute every year."
"In exchange for your arrogance, I have shown you the bravery and fearlessness of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. From today on, I will take over your Turkic country and make it my territory of the Tang Dynasty."
"Young boy with a yellow mouth, you have such a big mouth!"
Oli Khan dragged his broken body and used his last strength to raise the scimitar in his hand high.
Rushing towards Li Ke, Li Ke didn't panic at all and looked at Oli Khan with admiration.
Before Oli Khan could run a few steps, a cold arrow was shot from behind Li Ke, nailing Oli Khan directly between his eyebrows.
Oli Khan stared angrily and refused to close his eyes, lying unwillingly on the land he loved so much.
Li Ke turned around and saw the young man just now, raising his right hand. The Zhuge Liannu on his arm had reissued arrows ready. Li Ke stepped forward and looked at the recruit up and down.
"May I have your name?"
The young man hurriedly knelt down, buried his head deeply between his arms, and cupped his hands into fists.
He replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, my humble surname is Ning, and my given name is also a distant character. He is a recruit who was just recruited into the army by General Qin this year. He learned some boxing from my father at home."
"Okay! Well done, General Qin. Take note of Ning Yuan's name and make sure to make good use of him in the future."
"Give Ori Khan a good burial."
At this time, Li Ke's heart was truly in his stomach.
This battle was really too difficult. Although the war was won, what happened next was even more difficult to deal with.
Inside Chang'an City.
Wu Meiniang is actively looking for ways to break the situation and is away from Li Shimin.
Li Shimin seemed to have sobered up a lot due to the reduction in "drug dose", but Li Shimin never doubted that it was Wu Meiniang, and only thought that the physical emptiness was caused by his excessive indulgence.
Li Chunfeng's few predictions became a life-saving straw for the Manchu Dynasty to oppose the Wu family, although Li Shimin kept Wu Meiniang aside and never summoned her again.
However, Li Chunfeng knew that according to the speculative prophecies, it was inevitable for Empress Wu to take power.
All he can do is to let the world return to the hands of the Li family one day in future generations.
Since the death of Wu Wo Zhu, there have been fewer people around Wu Meiniang. The prince was imprisoned in the cold palace by Wu Meiniang until the end of his life. Now that Wu Meiniang is no longer favored by the emperor, it is a good opportunity for the prince Li Chengqian to take revenge.
Li Chengqian, as a young prince, always has a unique light shining in his eyes.
His heart is full of desire for power and he has a high pursuit of family honor.
The first thing the prince did after leaving the cold palace was to seek revenge on the witch who had made him lose all face.
Li Chengqian walked into Wu Meiniang's bedroom arrogantly. His eyes glanced around the room, and then stopped on Wu Meiniang.
He smiled and said: "Mei Niang, I brought these servants to your palace today. I want you to pour tea and water yourself and entertain us well."
When Wu Meiniang heard this, her heart tightened. She knew what Li Chengqian was thinking. He wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate herself and make herself succumb to his power.
But she also knew that this was a test, a test related to her own dignity.
Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, walked to the coffee table, and started pouring tea and water.
Her movements were elegant and calm, as if all these were the most ordinary things in her daily life.
Li Chengqian looked at Wu Meiniang's back and was secretly surprised that this woman could maintain such a noble temperament in such a humiliating situation.
"Your Wu clan should be exterminated, don't you think so? Mei Niang?" Li Chengqian suddenly asked.
Wu Meiniang's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea spilled. She knew that Li Chengqian deliberately provoked her emotions and exposed her flaws.
But she also understood that at this time, she did not have the strength to compete with the prince, and could only rely on her wisdom and courage to deal with Li Chengqian.
Wu Meiniang turned around and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile: "Your Highness, the Wu family you mentioned refers to my family?"
Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right."
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly: "Your Highness, Li Chunfeng is just a prediction. I believe that the Holy Emperor will not condemn my Wu family because of an unfounded guess.
Besides, my brother Wu Wo Zhu just died for the country. Doesn’t this prove the loyalty of my Wu family? "
Li Chengqian couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that Wu Meiniang would fight back angrily, but he didn't expect that she could analyze the problem so calmly.
He suddenly realized that this woman was not as simple as she seemed.
"Hmph, you are quite confident." Li Chengqian sneered, "However, you have to know that in this world, sometimes confidence does not determine everything."
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, confidence is important, but strength is more important. I believe that as long as we work hard to improve our strength, we will one day be able to prove our innocence."
Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let me see how capable you are."
After saying that, the prince slammed the tea cup to the ground, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left with his men.
Wu Meiniang looked at the prince's leaving figure and secretly swore in her heart that she would deal with this arrogant playboy.
