Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 309 Suspicion and Suspicion in Bingzhou Battlefield
He naturally understood what Li Zhiyun meant.

To live is to surrender, and to die is a dead end.Since ancient times, the fate of captives cannot escape these two choices.

"If I don't surrender, you will kill us, right." Gao Yaxian said.

Li Zhiyun was actually too lazy to answer his question, but thinking of Su Lie, Li Zhiyun was still patient.

"General Gao, I don't understand why you are so loyal to Dou Jiande. Is it just because Dou Jiande was born in Hebei, and this king was born in Guanlong? You should know that our dynasty is unstoppable. What Dou Jiande is doing is against God. In fact, I admired Dou Jiande's character before. The people of Hebei under his rule are far better than when bandits were prevalent.

However, he absolutely shouldn't have united with the Turks.You and I are both Han Chinese. The fight between my Tang Dynasty and you is an internal matter between brothers. How can we lure the ambitious Turkic people into the Central Plains.

As a general under Dou Jiande, you should know better than anyone what the consequences will be in Hebei every time the Turks go south.

Go out and see how many brothers and sisters are crying under the iron heel of the Turks.

They are our brothers and sisters!

Why did we rise up against the tyranny of the former Sui Dynasty?

Don’t you want to return the world to the people of the world, but how did you do it? Not only did you fail to protect the Hebei people, but instead let them suffer from the Turks. Are you worthy of those Hebei people who support you? "

Gao Yaxian pursed her lips, and argued: "We have been defending Hebei all the time. It is because you, the Tang Dynasty, deceived others too much and sent troops to attack several times."

Li Zhiyun laughed and said: "Then we also forced you to unite with the Turks? We also forced you to invade the South this time?"

Gao Yaxian had nothing to say, and finally said flatly: "Whether the winner is the king or the loser, you don't need to talk too much, if you want to kill or cut, just listen to it."

"You are a man, this king does not want to kill a talent like you. The world is full of waste and needs people like generals to govern. This king hopes that the general can understand righteousness."

"You want me to surrender."

"good."

Gao Yaxian thought for a long time, and finally said: "If you can promise me one condition, I will be loyal to you."

"Say."

"King Xia is my old master, and now he is in Turkic, I hope you can save him."

If it wasn't for Su Lie, Li Zhiyun wouldn't bother to pay attention to Gao Yaxian.

Li Zhiyun pondered and said: "I can try, but Dou Jiande is currently in the hands of the Turks, and his life and death are unknown. This king cannot guarantee you that he will be able to save Dou Jiande and bring him back to life."

"I see."

"Very well, General Gao, let's wait and see."

After saying that, Li Zhiyun didn't bother to talk nonsense with Gao Yaxian, and just got up and left.

In fact, Gao Yaxian knew that he had no choice, but he still wanted to do his best for Dou Jiande in the end.

Back in the main account, Li Zhiyun told Du Ruhui and Xue Shou Gao Yaxian's request.

Xue Shou said disdainfully: "Gao Yaxian is an incompetent person, what right does he have to ask His Highness."

Du Ruhui guessed: "Your Highness, you probably don't value Gao Yaxian, but Su Lie."

"That's right." Li Zhiyun didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Su Lie is a handsome talent, and he will be of great use in the future. This king wants to subdue him. But this person has a bit of integrity, and if he wants to accept him, he must start with Gao Yaxian. "

Du Ruhui rubbed his chin, and said: "Actually, if you want to exchange Dou Jiande with Yugu, I'm not afraid that Shi Bobi will not agree. What I'm worried about is that if His Highness does this, the court will not be able to explain it."

The imperial court is indeed a trouble.

Xue Shou said: "Actually, it is not the case. If Dou Jiande can be captured, it can be worth a wish. Gao Yaxian, as long as His Highness rescues Dou Jiande, we will send Dou Jiande to Chang'an in the future. His life or death has nothing to do with His Highness." up.

If the saint wants to kill Dou Jiande, Gao Yaxian dares to force His Highness to save him, then this person cannot be trusted. "

Li Zhiyun nodded, "You are right."

In fact, he understood that Su Lie would still be loyal to the imperial court in the end.But right now he needs the help of talents, especially such talents as Su Lie.Therefore, he was unwilling to let Su Lie go, in order to avoid accidents.

After all, history has changed beyond recognition now.

Of course, Li Zhiyun knew that Gao Yaxian actually had other functions, such as catching Liu Heitai, a big black fish.

It's just that he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to this right now, so he can only plan slowly in the future.

After talking about Gao Yaxian, Li Zhiyun asked, "Have you got in touch with Luo Yi?"

Du Ruhui said: "We got in touch, but Luo Yi said that he suffered heavy losses in troops and horses, and I'm afraid he won't be able to cooperate with His Highness to attack the Turks."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun immediately sneered and said, "It seems that Luo Yi is still reluctant to part with his soldiers."

Xue Shou said: "Without Luo Yi's help, we are not afraid of the Turks. We can definitely tell the court about Luo Yi's affairs. Only in this way can His Highness appear dangerous."

"Hahaha." Li Zhiyun laughed loudly, "Okay, use what should be used, so as not to waste it."

"Yes."

Time entered March of the fifth year of Wude, and the confrontation in Hebei continued.The Tang army and the Turks mainly focused on confrontation, supplemented by local wars.

Small-scale fights have winners and losers, which cannot affect the overall situation.

In Bingzhou, Li Shimin has led the Tang army and Xieli in several bloody battles, and using Loufan Pass as a base, he defeated Jieli twice, beheaded Yuan Junzhang, and captured Shuozhou Shanyang.

Even so, Li Shimin did not dare to be careless.

Because he knew very well that Xieli was very powerful.

Tang army camp.

Li Shimin received good news from Hebei that the King of Chu had defeated Dou Jiande and was recovering counties and counties in Hebei one after another.Due to the time difference and Li Zhiyun's concealment, no one else knows about Tuli Khan's southward trip to Hebei.

"Okay!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "You are worthy of being the king of Chu, and you are worthy of being the fifth younger brother!"

Changsun Wuji said: "If the king of Chu can solve Dou Jiande as soon as possible, maybe he can lead his army to Bingzhou to help in the battle."

Li Shimin interjected: "At that time, how to defeat Liu Wuzhou, how to defeat Xieli now."

Fang Xuanling put down the battle report, and thoughtfully said: "Your Highness the King of Chu has a lot of talents. You have Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong in Wu, and Du Ruhui and Xue Shou in Wen. It is really an eye-opener."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's mind moved, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It seems to be true."

Those present were all cunning foxes, and there was too much information hidden in one or two sentences, and they could understand it as soon as they heard it.

Yu Zhining said: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. After defeating Jieli, it's not too late to think about the King of Chu. Otherwise, if Jieli doesn't retreat, what's the point of us thinking about the King of Chu?"

"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.

He temporarily put aside his suspicions about Li Zhiyun, and was about to discuss with others about sending troops.At this time, the soldiers came to report, and King Qi asked to see him.

"Let him wait for me in the side tent." After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said, "Forget it, I'll go see him right away."

Since the expedition, the fourth child has changed a lot. He is not as greedy for meritorious service as before, nor will he cause trouble for him. Basically, he has become more obedient.

Li Shimin hopes to maintain it until he returns to Chang'an.Dealing with Xieli is already annoying enough for him now, and he is really not in the mood to continue dealing with Li Yuanji.

After Li Shimin left, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Highness always said that the King of Chu has no ambitions, but looking at it now, it may not be so. If he really has no ambitions, why not just be a Happy King."

"Don't worry about the auxiliary machine." Fang Xuanling said: "Even if the King of Chu has selfish intentions, he still cannot resist the general trend. Now that we have settled Xieli and returned to Chang'an, it is time for the King of Chu to give His Highness an explanation."

Changsun Wuji nodded, agreeing very much.

After defeating Jieli, King Qin's prestige will far exceed that of the prince. At that time, it is time to change what should be changed.
