Man Tanghong

Chapter 668 The Outrageous Battle ([-])
Therefore, it would be risky to recruit and surrender the Tibetans, and the risk was particularly high. It can be said that there will be endless troubles.

However, for the current Datang, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

That's why Li Yuanji didn't reject Li Shimin's recruitment of Heda, nor did he prevent Li Shimin from expressing his kindness to Heda.

After Canda's face turned slightly rosy, Canda bent down and saluted Li Yuanji with a crappy Chinese salute.

"Step on the strength department Ye Huda, and offer the most sincere respect to His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty."

He is obviously a Turkic person, and what he said was what a Turkic person would say when saluting a person of high status, but he is doing Chinese rituals, which is awkward no matter how you look at it.

In addition, he suffered some injuries on the battlefield and his face was not good-looking, which made it even more awkward to look at.

However, Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to this, and just nodded coldly, as if he had seen it.

He Da saluted again: "My tribe was defeated by the Great Tang, and I am willing to surrender to the Great Tang, but the trend of the Great Tang, please treat me kindly and treat my clansmen kindly."

Sitting on the horseback, Li Yuanji said in a cold tone, "It's okay to treat your clansmen kindly, but you and your clansmen must let us see your value."

Canda said sadly and anxiously: "What do you mean by your Highness?"

Li Yuanji didn't speak any more, but rode his horse back two steps.

Li Shimin followed the horse and took two steps forward, with a gentle tone and a friendly attitude, he said to Xi Da: "Of course I want you and your people to help us fight."

He Da obviously breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could accept this kind of thing, then stared at Li Shimin suspiciously and said, "I don't know who this noble man is?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, his expression froze, he didn't know how to call himself.

After a moment of silence, Sun smiled and said, "A sinner from Datang..."

Canda looked at Li Shimin with a puzzled and blank expression.

Li Yuanji said slowly at this time: "My second brother, formerly His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty."

He Da was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Li Shimin in shock, and said in a broken voice, "His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin was a little lonely, and smiled helplessly: "Why, have you heard of my name?"

Da Da hurriedly said: "When I was in the Western Regions, I once heard Manqin Teller, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, say that His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty has a pair of eagle-like eyes, and can easily see the most vulnerable places of prey. It also has a head like a fox, which can easily defeat all powerful prey with its own calculations, and a body like a tiger, which can fight and win all prey.

Manqin Teller also said that His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful Ye Hu in the Tang Dynasty, and he will lead the army of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Jieli, so our Khan must be better than the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Shimin was a little surprised, but also said with emotion: "Do you people from the Western Regions all see me like this?"

Heda nodded firmly, and said with a sincere flattery: "Manqin Terry also said that if His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty can become the Khan of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely become the Khan of the Tang Dynasty. overlord."

Li Shimin laughed uncontrollably, and sighed: "Compared to Tong Yehu, forget it."

It's not that he has lost his power and can no longer become the Khan of Datang, nor can he become an overlord, but that he doesn't like Tong Yehu from the bottom of his heart.

I don't want to be compared with a foreign khan.

This is not because of his arrogance, but because he has absolute confidence that he can surpass all the Khans of the Western Regions after taking power.

Therefore, in his eyes, all the Khans of the Western Regions are younger brothers.

To be precise, he is the younger brother among younger brothers.

Tong Yehu, who has already dominated the Western Regions and has become the overlord of the Western Regions, is the same.

There is no right to compare with him at all.

Li Yuanji could hear the contempt and disdain in his tone, but Yuda didn't hear it, and thought Li Shimin was saying that he was not as good as Tong Yehu, so he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness must believe my words , My Manqin Teller in the Western Regions is a rare wise man in our Western Regions, and everything he says will come true."

That is to say, he is not proficient in Chinese, otherwise he would definitely persuade Li Shimin not to belittle himself.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji unobtrusively when he heard what he said, and then sighed: "With my brother here, what your man Qin Teller said is destined to not come true."

He Da looked at Li Yuanji blankly, not understanding what Li Shimin meant.

Although he is the leader of the royal branch of the Western Turks, a great nobleman of the Western Turks, and has seen such things as coups, the coups in the Western Regions are completely different from the coups in the Central Plains.

He hadn't seen that prince from the Western Regions who would leave behind his most threatening brother after the coup, so since he didn't know the inside story of Datang, he really didn't understand what Li Shimin said.

Li Yuanji gave Li Shimin a blank look, and said angrily, "Let's get down to business."

Li Shimin smiled cheerfully and said, "Are you in a hurry? Don't you see others praising me? Can't you see me say such things?"

Li Yuanji smiled bluntly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid that if I continue to listen to it, I'll throw up and get rough. In order to avoid hurting you, I can only remind you to get down to business."

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he looked at You Da with a stiff smile, and said, "Let's get down to business, or my younger brother will be rough on me, you don't understand him, you don't know how powerful he is.

If he punches down, you and I may die. "

Canda looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, and then at Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin looked straight, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Tell me, how many people did Xieli bring to the south this time?"

Da Khan was taken aback for a moment, quickly corrected his attitude, and said seriously: "The Great Khan has brought a total of 26 people this time, of which 20 are string controllers, and [-] are servants and slaves."

Li Shimin froze for a moment, frowned and said, "Isn't this what we found out?"

He Da didn't understand why he looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said coldly: "What we found out is that Jieli brought a total of more than 30 horses this time. How did you say it became 26?

Where did the remaining [-] go? "

At the end of Li Shimin's speech, he asked sharply.

Da Da suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "You should be counted among the men of Little Khan..."

Li Shimin said softly, "So the remaining 10 people are from Tuli?"

He Da nodded and said: "The Great Khan said that this time, we must take advantage of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty to open the door of the Tang Dynasty, come to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and let the Tang Dynasty hand over food and money that are enough to make us rich for a lifetime. , will leave.

And sent people to lobby the little Khan, asking the little Khan to go south with him to share the food and money of the Tang Dynasty.

The little khan agreed to go south with the big khan after he asked the big khan to give him some food and money first.

In order to ensure that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty could be captured in one fell swoop, the Great Khan recruited all warriors from all ethnic groups, a total of 20 people.

He also asked the little Khan to recruit all the warriors from all ethnic groups under his command, a total of 10 people.

Attack Datang together. "

Li Shimin subconsciously sneered and said, "Jieli has a good plan, but it's a pity that it's been more than a month before I opened my door to Tang Dynasty, and I may not be able to keep it."

He Da suddenly didn't know what to say, and stared at Li Shimin blankly.

Let's evaluate what Xieli has done. Xieli is one of his former masters, so he is not qualified to comment.

To evaluate the strength of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, he must be determined to resist the Turkic people. Even if he is a Turkic person, it is not easy to exaggerate the soldiers of the Datang Dynasty too high and step himself down too low.

After all, he was going to the Tang Dynasty to seek a living in the future. If he trampled himself too lowly and made him useless, maybe the Tang people would use him and his clansmen as servants and slaves.

In that case, they will have a bad life.

So, he really didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin saw that Heda had stopped talking, and realized that he had lost his composure, so he straightened his face again and said, "How many people have been injured by Xieli in the past month or so?"

Canda calculated silently and said: "About 3 people, including me and my clansmen, there should be [-]."

Li Shimin frowned again.

The number that Xi Da said was wrong, it did not match the number of enemies that Datang had killed.

"Are you lying to me?!"

Li Shimin suddenly raised his voice, staring at the tiger and questioning.

Canda was taken aback and said in a panic, "I didn't lie to you!"

Li Shimin said coldly: "My Tang Dynasty killed and captured more than 5 people in this battle, but you said that you only injured [-] people, how dare you say that you didn't lie to me?"

Li Xiaogong and Li Shiji killed and captured [-] people on the battlefield from Shizhou to Weizeguan.

In addition, the Turks lost more than [-] people in Suizhou, Xiaoguan, and now Maling, and it might have reached [-].

Heda said that Jieli only lost 5 people, not cheating or anything.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Canda immediately understood what Li Shimin meant, and hurriedly explained: "This time, not only our Turkic soldiers and horses went south, but also some people under Yang Zhengdao's control, as well as soldiers and horses from Liang Shidu.

At the time of Xiaoguan, people from Yang Zhengdao and Liang Shidu were attacking the city, and we were just responding, so most of the people who died were from Yang Zhengdao and Liang Shidu.

Most of the people who went to pretend to attack the place called Shizhou were slaves and servants.

No matter how many injuries there are, the Great Khan will not feel distressed. "

Li Shimin's brows were suddenly wrinkled, and Li Yuanji's brows were also wrinkled together.

No one expected that there was Yang Zhengdao's shadow in this war. Yang Zhengdao actually recovered some people in Turkic, organized them into soldiers and horses, and helped Turkic to invade Datang together.

These people should be the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty who escaped from the Tang Dynasty, as well as some small tribes that were not taken seriously, or had no way to gain a foothold in East Turkic.

With the example of Liang Shidu, Yang Zhengdao is likely to establish a country outside the territory with the support of the Turks.
