Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Jieli thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution. Seeing that he lost his mind, he said: "You immediately take 20 people to Chang'an, and go to Li Shimin to apologize and ask him to surrender. Returning to Datang, I was wrong about the previous thing, if he agrees, I can go to Chang'an to confess my crime in person."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him were all shocked.

If this is done, the Turks will only become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. They are very resistant, but if they do not do so, they may perish.

Seeing their reactions, Xie Li continued, "We surrender now, but it is only temporary. When the ice and snow melt and the grass is green and the horses are fat, I will definitely settle the score with Li Shimin."

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhi Shi Si Li heard that this was feasible, he quickly separated from Jie Li's team with twenty cronies, and went south to Chang'an to seek Li Shimin.

"Khan, where are we going next?"

A general beside Jieli asked.

Now Li Jing is chasing too closely. Although they can't find where they are heading for now, most of the Tang's generals are encircling them.

It will be a matter of time before they catch up.

The tooth tent was gone, so they could only continue to flee, and they didn't know where they were going to flee.

"Go to Tieshan first."

Jie Li said directly.

He had already planned where to go in case the apology failed, and the tooth tent was gone, then the road to the north should be cut off. If the apology failed and Li Jing and the others pursued too closely, they could escape to Tuyuhun or Gaochang.

As long as he can survive, there must be a possibility of a comeback, and he will make Datang too late to regret.

Jieli has already taken these two considerations into account.

-

Li Yi'an and the others left the city where Yazhang was located, and headed south with 5000 troops, preparing to harvest Jieli Khan's head.

Among the 5000 men, there were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, all supplemented by Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Gongjin.

According to the development track of this matter, Li Jing will capture Jieli Khan in Yinshan, and according to the news brought back by Cheng Yaojin, Jieli fled quickly, and Li Jing and the others temporarily lost the trace of Jieli. Things have changed.

Li Yi'an didn't want Xieli to have a chance to escape, so he wanted to catch him himself.

"We are still three days away from Yinshan Mountain."

Li Yi'an looked at the map for a while, then recalled the whole battle, pointed to Tun Tieshan in the northeast of the map, and continued: "The old thief Jieli is going back to Yazhang from the direction of Qikou. The tent was laid down by us, and when there is no hope of going north, the only thing we can do is go south, and it will first appear near Tun Tieshan."

Su Lie said: "According to Mr.'s conjecture, he will go through Tun Tie Mountain, and then he will go south through Yin Mountain, so the only retreat is to go through Hexi to Tuyuhun."

Li Yi'an nodded and said: "That's right, the old thief Jieli wants to escape to Tuyuhun, we must stop him, otherwise it will be difficult to let him go out."

"Give me an order to divert to Tieshan to see if we can intercept him in advance."

Going to Tun Tieshan from their location is a little closer than going to Yinshan, and it takes about two days to get there.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Yi'an ordered to find a favorable position to ambush, and the next step was to wait.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and just when they thought they were going to wait in vain, a scout finally came back and said that there were more than 2 Turkic soldiers and horses in the northeast, and they were rushing in this direction. rapid.

"Sir, they are really here!"

Xue Li said excitedly.

"All follow my orders and don't act recklessly. It's getting late, keep waiting, and the scouts will go find out the news."

Li Yi'an immediately ordered again.

Su Lie looked at the sky, and said: "It will be night in half an hour, Jie Li has ensured that there are no pursuers in the rear, and it is very likely that they will camp near Tun Tieshan. Sir, he wants to attack at night."

He once again guessed what Li Yi'an was thinking.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the night slowly shrouded the land in the north.

When the Turkic soldiers and horses approached Tieshan, the scouts came back again to report that it was really the remaining army of Jieli Khan. The lineup was only more than 2 people, and they were also in Tieshan as Su Lie said. Camp nearby to rest.

"Sir, can I do it?"

In the middle of the night, Su Lie couldn't help asking.

"Do it, remember to chase after the old thief Xieli later."

Li Yian nodded.

They divided 5000 people into five teams to lead.

Xue Li and Su Lie respectively led the cavalry and attacked first.

Li Yi'an, Cheng Chumo, and Yu Wenzhan each led 1000 men, surrounded them from the southwest, and joined the cavalry.

On Jieli Khan's side, after so many days of escape and a cold winter, the soldiers were very sleepy, and felt that there could be no enemy in Tun Tieshan, their vigilance was instantly reduced to the lowest level, and their discipline was lax.

When Su Lie and Xue Li's cavalry rushed to the barracks, the Turkic soldiers were still sleeping, and then they were all awakened. They didn't even have time to put on their clothes, and they didn't know where to throw their weapons. Many of them were killed in a short while.

The rest wanted to flee to the southwest, but Li Yi'an and the others happened to kill them and cut off their retreat.

With 5000 people against more than 2 people, Li Yi'an and the others still had an advantage.

"Old thief Jieli, take your life!"

Cheng Chumo saw at a glance the man in the rebellious army, wearing the general's armor, under the banner of the Chinese army.

Li Yi'an also saw it, they didn't know what Xieli looked like, but the clothes and protection of the commander in the army, that person should be right.

They killed the Turkic soldiers, and immediately rushed to Jieli's side, with great momentum.

Yu Wenzhan chopped him off the horse, Cheng Chumo jumped over, stomped him hard on the ground, and shouted: "Tied!"

More than a dozen soldiers of the Tang Army came over, pressed each other, tied them up with ropes, and dragged them outside.

Seeing that their Khan was captured, the rest of the Turkic soldiers didn't panic, and rushed towards the southwest as if they had agreed on something.

After killing several people, Li Yi'an looked up and looked around, feeling that something was wrong, and said: "That Jieli is a fake, he has really been mixed in with the chaos army, and he wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape."

However, there were so many chaotic Turkic soldiers, and the Tang army only had 5000 people, and they couldn't stop them from fleeing violently.

Su Lie and Xue Li took the cavalry to hunt down the fleeing Turkic people, but in the end they couldn't find who was the real Xieli, and let the chaotic soldiers rush out of the encirclement and leave.

It was already late at night, and the road could not be seen clearly. Li Yi'an did not let Su Lie and the others continue to chase, and went back to the camp to rest first.

Cheng Chumo threw the fake Jieli up, and had someone beat him up first, and then asked, "Where's the old thief Jieli?"

The fake Xieli didn't speak, just looked at them with wide eyes.

"Kill him!"

Li Yi'an didn't force her to ask.

You don't need to ask, you know that Xieli, among the fleeing army in front, has already gone far away at this time.

He thought he could deal with the old thief Jieli in Tuntieshan, but he still had to flee to Yinshan, as if it was his destiny.
