Chapter 520: This Is What I Mean

Daye’s 13th Chinese New Year these few days was extremely boring to the soldiers gathered in Niangziguan. Except for the better food these two days, they couldn’t find any fun. Because of the heavy snow, the soldiers basically didn’t even They don't go out, and almost everyone sleeps in tents except for necessary patrol tasks.

The first month of the 14th year of the great cause was also lackluster for them. The defeated Turks had already sworn allegiance to Ashina Duoduo. Died unexpectedly, when more than [-] wolf riders under his command were attacking Niangziguan with all their strength, a messenger from the Turkic royal court arrived at his camp, announcing that the royal court had been captured by the Holy Maiden's army, and those who had not been blessed by the great shaman Luo Khan is invalid and illegal, because he has never listened to the prophecy of the Longevity Heaven at the altar of the royal court, nor has he ever drank the blood wine mixed with the blood of the great shaman and the blood of the silver wolf. The Khan throne inherited from Shi Naduoji is false, and the Turkic royal court will not recognize it.

This has never happened before, this is the most insulting provocation to the kingship of Khan, Ashina Elifer was furious, but there was nothing he could do. In Mayi County, these [-] wolf riders are Ashina Elifer's life-saving straw. Without her, his troops who have run out of food and grass will be defeated before they can break through Niangzi Pass.

Therefore, he decided to negotiate with Ashina Duoduo in person.

And in order to put pressure on him, and to show that she did not covet the Central Plains this time, and to express her sincerity to all the people gathered here, she sent someone to Li Jiancheng, the son of Prince Tang, to send a A generous gift, this gift is very special, not gold and silver, nor rare treasures, nor the high-quality war horses that abound in the grasslands, but more than 300 bloody human heads.

Dingyang Khan Liu Wuzhou suffered a disastrous defeat in Taiyuan and was hunted down by Li Shimin in a panic.When he learned that a wolf cavalry of more than 10 people had appeared in Mayi County, he did not hesitate to take the remnant soldiers to join him.What greeted him was not kumiss and finger meat from the hospitable Turks, but a sharp machete.

He thought that the Turkic people were all Laozi, but who would have thought that it was the stepfather who came this time.

After entering the Turkic camp, less than 300 remnant soldiers under his command were disarmed. He didn't even see Ashina Duoduo, and he was pushed out by the wolf-like Turkic people and chopped off his head. More than [-] generals under his command were buried with him, all of which became gifts to Li Jiancheng without exception.

More than 300 heads were in the hands of Li Jiancheng, and he suddenly realized that he quickly dispatched troops to block the [-] wolf riders in Niangzi Pass. He was really afraid that Ashina Duoduo would lead troops into the pass. Once the teams of the two teams converged, the good situation was instantly reversed.

But at this time, through some unknown means, the Turkic saint Ashina Duoduo quietly went to Niangziguan, and then sent someone to the Turkic camp outside the city to invite Ashina Elifo to enter the city to negotiate, and was forced to Ashina Elifo, who was desperate, went to the city to negotiate with Ashina Duoduo. In his opinion, after all, they belonged to the Turkic royal family.But who would have thought that Ashina Duoduo wanted not only the golden crown on his head, but also the head he used to wear the golden crown.

Like Liu Wuzhou, Ashina Alifo never saw Ashina Duoduo after he entered Niangziguan. The soldiers who followed him were shot to death by random arrows as soon as they entered the city. Ashina was shot in the thigh by an arrow. That Alifo was captured alive, then pressed against the city wall and beheaded in public, followed by Ashina Duoduo who sent people out of the city to the Turkic camp to announce the will of Changshengtian.What I have to say is that it was Yanyun Jingqi who attacked this time, and Ashina Duoduo just watched what happened, neither stopping nor objecting.

The envoy Ashina Elifo's men said that the great shaman had received the revelation from the Changshengtian, and the reason why the Turks were defeated when they went south was because Shibi Khan violated the will of the Changshengtian, and the throne should be passed on to Ashe. The association rate is not Ashina Elifer, so the longevity genius will punish. Now the saint and the great shaman have obtained the permission of the longevity god to kill Ashina Elifer and let Ashina's association rate inherit Khan position, and before Ashina's association rate reaches 15 years old, the saint will be in charge of the grassland.

This is an internal matter of the Ashina family. The more than [-] Turkic wolf riders trapped in the Niangzi Pass no matter who inherits the Khan, they just want to survive, so no one objected.As a result, all the calculations of the Li family were in vain. Not only did they not consume all of Li Xian's five thousand spirit horses in the battle of defending the city as expected, but they did not dare to fight again because of Li Xian's sudden appearance of a powerful ally. any move.

In the first month of the 14th year of Daye, after the snow stopped, Ashina Duoduo reached an agreement with Li Jiancheng on behalf of the Turkic royal court. Ashina Duoduo guaranteed that the Turks would never go south forever, and the Li family opened the siege to release [-] wolf riders. Return to the grassland.

This ending was beyond everyone's expectations, of course, this did not include Li Xian and Ashina Duoduo.

……

……

In Li Jiancheng's big tent, Qu Tutong roared angrily in a low voice: "The prairie barbarians are all wolves! Their promises and guarantees are all unbelievable. Your Highness, you must not just let those [-] wolf cubs go back to the grassland. It would be a disaster to keep them!"

Liu Wenjing sighed and said, "General Qu Tu, do you think there is still room for redemption at this point?"

He stood up, walked to the map, pointed to Mayi County and said: "The Grassland Saintess still has 10,000+ troops outside Mayi County. It is not difficult to break through our siege and rescue the wolf riders in Niangziguan. Besides, Li Xian obviously has a covenant with that saint, and now the lady is in his hands. If he opens the door and lets the Turks out, can we stop it? Even if we try our best to fight the Turks to the death, even if we kill the Turks with 10,000+ Turks We will kill them all, but how many people are left in our army? Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and Xue Ju are all ready to move, and we will fight the Turkic people here with all our troops, so how can we accomplish the great cause of our lord?"

"But……"

Qu Tutong still resented and said: "I just let go of such a great opportunity, I'm really not reconciled!"

"It's not just that you are not reconciled?"

Li Jiancheng stood up, walked to the door, looked at the vast sky and said, "Everyone knows that the grassland barbarians cannot stay, but the current situation does not allow us to fight to the end regardless of the consequences."

He looked back at Qu Tutong and said: "The messenger sent by my father arrived the night before yesterday. Xue raised 15 troops to threaten Chang'an. If we don't lead the army back, Chang'an will be in danger. If we stay and fight the Turks to the death, it will be fine." So what if we can wipe them all out? If we lose the Central Plains, why don’t we make wedding dresses for others by killing all the Turkic people?”

Qu Tutong sighed and stopped talking.

"Father's order is to take Shimin as the general manager of the Western Expedition, Liu Hongji as the vanguard, and lead [-] troops to fight against Xue Ju. I will lead the army back to assist Chang'an, stabilize Chang'an first, and then talk about other things."

The generals held their fists together to accept the order, Li Jiancheng sighed: "You are all ministers of the Li family, you should put the Li family first. Killing all foreign enemies is something that any bloody man wants to do, but the family is not stable. , how to resist foreign enemies?"

"What about Li Xian in Yanyun Village?"

Qu Tutong thought for a while and asked.

"Disposal?"

Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "This word is extremely bad. An Zhi is an ally of my Li family. He led troops thousands of miles away to support Taiyuan. We should thank him well. How can we deal with it? General Qu Tu, Don't say things like this casually in the future, it will affect the alliance between the Li family and Yanyun Village, which is very bad."

Qu Tutong suddenly realized that he was really an idiot, why didn't he see the situation clearly?

The Li family originally wanted to form an alliance with Li Xian, the king of Yan, but if there was a chance to kill Li Xian's most elite troops, this kind of thing could not be let go. Taking Li Xian as a hostage, the [-] troops in Yanyunzhai are at your fingertips, and no one will refuse to have such a large force in vain.But now Li Xian's men are still there, and Ashina Duoduo is still his ally, so a fool will bring up the matter against Li Xian again.

Everyone knew this matter well, but no one would bring it up again in a foolish way, and today...he found out that he was that foolish person.

"come"

Li Jiancheng beckoned and said, "Go and invite the people here, I will tell him the order of the father. In addition... go and invite the king of Yan. I heard that he is going back to Dongping County. I want to hold a farewell banquet for him."

……

……

In any case, just after the calculation, Li Xian immediately showed the attitude of being a close ally. This kind of thing seems extremely hypocritical, but it is by no means unacceptable to people from aristocratic families. On the contrary, this kind of thing is normal. It's as natural as flowers blooming in spring and snow falling in winter.

Li Xian looked at the invitation with gold lettering in his hand and smiled, and told the people sent by Li Jiancheng that he would be there, and then he went to Li Huining's residence in Niangziguan by himself without any entourage.The guards outside the door all recognized him, and they invited him in after a brief announcement.

When Li Xian walked into Li Huining's room, she was sitting on a chair quietly reading a book.She didn't stand up to greet Li Xian when he entered the door, and she didn't raise her head to speak. She seemed very unfriendly and polite, but Li Xian didn't care at all.He knew what kind of temperament Li Huining was like, so he just smiled and walked to the chair and sat down.

He didn't speak, just sat quietly.After sitting like this for half an hour, Li Huining put down the scroll in his hand with a slight frown, looked at Li Xian and said in a cold tone, "You still owe me an explanation."

Li Xian smiled and said, "Isn't this here?"

"you say"

Li Huining rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, looking a little lazy.

"The prairie people can't kill them all."

Li Xian said.
