Chapter 465 Misunderstanding
Ashinazhong didn't know why Li Ke wanted to see Domozhi, but Li Ke ordered, and Ashinazhong obeyed immediately.

Although the peace between Datang and Xue Yantuo has long been dead, it still exists in name. Li Ke has an order to see Tumozhi, and Tumozhi has no reason to avoid seeing him, and Tumozhi himself wants to know Li Ke. In his mind, he also wanted to meet Li Ke.

"Foreign minister Xue Yantuo Tumozhi, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Chu of the Tang Dynasty." On the other side of the Dabu River, Dumozhi stood under his horse and bowed to Li Ke on the other side.

Du Mozhi acted cautiously and calmly, knowing that Li Ke was hostile to him, but he was still respectful, so that no one could find fault.

However, Li Ke was originally here looking for trouble, even if Du Mozhi had no faults to pick on, Li Ke had to make it up for him even if he made it up.

Li Ke looked at Tumozhi who was acting respectfully on the other side of the river, his face suddenly sank, he pointed at Tumozhi, and shouted angrily: "Tumozhi, you are so brave!"

Li Ke came up and scolded him, but Du Mozhi was a little confused, and Du Mozhi asked: "The foreign minister doesn't know what His Highness means?"

Li Ke looked serious, pointed at Tumozhi with his halberd, and asked: "This king and the Yinan Khan have already made a contract. The two countries will use the Dabu River as their border and will not conquer each other. What do you mean by Chen Bing on the bank of the river today?" ?”

What is the meaning of Duomozhi Chenbing River Bank?Of course, Duomozhi and Chen Binghean led the army to deploy their defenses because they heard the news that Li Ke led the army to the north, but listening to Li Ke's tone today, it seems that he intends to use this matter to question the crime.

Tuo Mozhi said: "Your Highness led the army to the north and stationed in Nuozhenshui, which is less than a hundred miles away from Junji Mountain. I have to guard against it."

What Tumozhi said was the truth. Li Ke led the army to go north. If it took only half a day from Nuozhenshui Qingqi raid to Junji Mountain, it would be too late to make temporary preparations, so Tumozhi arranged in advance on the north bank of the river.

But there is no reason for the guilt of what he did, and it would be difficult for Li Ke to catch Du Mozhi's faults.

Li Ke said: "Nuozhen's waters and plants are abundant, and there are a lot of animals. This king is here for hunting. What does it have to do with you, and what does it have to do with you here to serve as soldiers?"

After hearing Li Ke's words, Tuo Mozhi stopped suddenly. He didn't know why Li Ke said that, why he could say that.In this battle of Junji Mountain, Li Ke was the one who dispatched troops first, but it was beyond Dumozhi's expectation that Li Ke could say such words in front of tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides.

Li Ke besieged and hunted, and more than ten thousand troops went north at every turn. Even if the prince besieged and hunted, there would be no such ostentation. What is the purpose of Li Ke going north, Tuo Mozhi knew very well, but Li Ke refused to admit it, only saying that he was going north For hunting, Tumozhina Li Ke has nothing to do.

Tuo Mozhi explained: "His Royal Highness hunted with great momentum, tens of thousands of troops at every turn, it was really beyond the expectations of the foreign ministers, and this is the reason for the misunderstanding."

Li Ke asked: "According to what you said, should I report to you in advance when I go north to hunt?"

Tuo Mozhi hurriedly replied: "The foreign ministers dare not, but the foreign ministers don't understand. Since His Highness hunted in Nuozhen Water, why did he come to the pass of Junji Mountain and led a heavy army here. His Highness must not have hunted here."

The pass of Junji Mountain is dangerous and has many hills. It is the junction of the two countries. Naturally, it is not a good place for hunting. If Li Ke insists that he is here for hunting, it is really unreasonable.

Li Ke said: "Of course this king is not hunting here. This king heard the report from the spies that you deployed heavy troops on the north bank of the Dabu River, intending to invade the south. This king personally led the army to the north to defend against the enemy. I never thought that you would fight back. It's really a wolf's ambition to blame this king for the crime of initiating war with a face."

Li Ke's words reached Dumozhi's ears, and the expression on Dumozhi's face suddenly became brighter. Li Ke's words were clearly referring to a deer as a horse, confusing black and white, but Dumozhi was speechless.

As Li Ke said, Li Ke only arrived at the Dabu River today, and Tumozhi deployed troops by the Dabu River a few days ago. Just go north after hearing the news.After all, if Tumozhi wanted to invade the south, and Li Ke, as the commander of the Tang army, happened to be hunting in Nuozhenshui, and knowing that Tumozhi had mischievous intentions, it would be reasonable to come to inspect in person.

Duo Mozhi paused for a moment before asking: "So His Highness has no intention of the Northern Expedition?"

Li Ke replied: "That's natural. I, the Tang Dynasty, honored my promise. Since I made a contract with the barbarian Khan, how could I go back on my word and attack Xue Yantuo? It's you who dare to use swordsmen and wants to take advantage of the original Wang Bei went up to hunt and sneaked up on me."

Li Ke's words mostly meant to blame Tumozhi, but with Li Ke's words, Tumozhi was relieved a lot. Li Ke mentioned this in his speech before the three armies. In any case, Li Ke should There is no meaning of the Northern Expedition.

Tumozhi has always been cautious. As long as Li Ke has no intention of the Northern Expedition, he can make concessions for the rest.

Tumozhi leaned down and said: "In this way, it is my fault. I only know that His Highness raised troops to go north, but I don't know what happened when His Highness came down. Because of His majesty, I formed an formation here to defend myself. There is no offense. I don't have the guts to offend His Highness, and I hope His Highness will investigate clearly."

Li Ke asked: "So, is this a misunderstanding?"

As long as Li Ke has no intention of the Northern Expedition, Tuomozhi also hopes that the major incident will be reduced to a minor one, so Tuomozhi hurriedly said: "That's right, it's just a misunderstanding, it's really not worth being angry with His Highness, not worth being with tens of thousands of troops from you and me." If we confront each other across the river, how about you and I retreat here?"

Li Ke said: "If it's just a misunderstanding, it's not difficult for the king to retreat, it's just..."

Li Ke said, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said to Tumozhi: "It's just that the momentum is too big this time, and it must be hard to hide. If someone in the court impeaches the king, saying that the king colluded with you, Misbehavior, father and emperor blamed, how should this king explain."

Duo Mozhi also knew that the court situation in the Tang Dynasty was much more complicated than that of Xue Yantuo. Li Ke was in Hedong, and there were indeed many people in the court watching him. Although Li Ke had a high position and authority, his situation was not so good.

Tuo Mozhi said: "Your Highness don't need to worry about this matter, as long as His Highness is willing to withdraw the troops, and the foreign ministers are willing to explain this matter to His Highness, you will never make things difficult for His Highness."

Li Ke thought for a while, then said to Tuo Mozhi: "That's fine, you just write up the memorial table and send it, and the king will retreat."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke stopped talking to Tumozhi, turned around and left.

"Why did your Highness tell Domozhi about this? His Majesty trusts His Highness very much. His Highness just needs to go to Chang'an and explain to His Majesty that this matter is not a serious problem. Why do you need to make a statement to your Majesty?" Li Ke returned from the river bank , Qiao Shiwang, governor of Yunzhou, said to Li Ke in a puzzled manner.

Li Ke took the post of Governor of Bingzhou to control the [-] prefectures in Hedong, and ruled over the Turks in Monan. Li Shimin in the general period can see Li Shimin's trust in Li Ke. How could Li Shimin doubt Li Ke because of this matter.

Li Ke also knew Qiao Shiwang's meaning, and Li Ke said with a smile: "It's the second thing that this king wants to show Du Mozhi's letter to his father. The most important thing this king wants is to show Yi Nan."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he said to Xue Rengui, who was guarding behind him: "Rengui, after you get Tumozhi's letter, ask someone to take the letter to Dujun Yu Mountain and tell Yinan that Tumozhi is like a soldier. The Tang Dynasty has too much hostility to me. It would be inappropriate to keep him in Junji Mountain to lead the army, and there will be chaos sooner or later. In order to ensure the stability of the border between the two countries, this person must be transferred away, otherwise it will be tantamount to declaring war with the king. "
