Chapter 38 I have seen a bright future [201707.....50069]
Turks.
It was Jie Li who met Liu Wenjing, and the two talked in the king's tent.
It's just talk, but it's better to say it's Jie Li's bad mouth.
"You promised me at the beginning that as long as I killed Li Shimin, you would give me the entire Hedong Road. But now that Li Shimin is dead, you have not fulfilled your promise. Or are you planning to burn bridges across the river?
Don’t forget, I can send someone to Chang’an at any time to tell Li Yuan what happened between you and me, and you will definitely die by then!”
"Khan, please be patient." Liu Wenjing said: "Of course I know, and I always remember it clearly, but doesn't Khan think it's you who didn't do it well?"
Faced with Liu Wenjing's rhetorical question, Jie Li smiled angrily.
"Fart, I killed Li Shimin and defeated hundreds of thousands of Tang troops. What nonsense are you talking about!"
I really shame you. Without our help, Li Shimin would have driven you back to the grassland to eat the northwest wind.
Liu Wenjing said unhurriedly: "When Li Shimin died, I already persuaded the prince to abandon Taiyuan and give Hedong Road to you. But Khan and Shibobi failed to stop Li Zhiyun in Hebei, and instead asked Li Zhiyun to lead troops to support Taiyuan. You
Tell me, whose fault is this?"
Jie Li's face darkened.
Liu Wenjing continued: "To be honest with Khan, we were actually ready to retreat and give up Taiyuan, but I suddenly issued an order to His Majesty, asking us to defend Taiyuan and wait for King Chu's support. At that time, King Chu's people had also arrived in Taiyuan and told them
We and they are coming soon.
I would like to ask Khan, if we abandon Taiyuan at this time and I go to His Majesty, how should we explain it?
If Shibobi can contain Li Zhiyun in Hebei, we will give it to the Hedong Road without the Khan having to ask."
What Liu Wenjing said seems to be true, but in fact it is half true and half false.
The original order to defend Taiyuan was not given by Li Yuan at all, but was the decision of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Later, the support from the King of Chu was also requested by them in writing to Li Yuan.
But how could Xie Li know this?
"I don't care, now you must give me Hedong Road, otherwise I will let the Turkic warriors tear you apart!"
Liu Wenjing said helplessly: "Khan, I really want to fulfill my promise, but now the person in charge of our army is not the prince, but the King of Chu. He seems to have really made an agreement with Shi Bo Bi, and he is very sure that Shi Bo Bi will raise troops on the grassland.
, so I stubbornly want to drag the Khan here."
"What did you say? What's the agreement between Li Zhiyun and Shi Bo Bi?" Jie Li suddenly became nervous when he heard the news about Shi Bo Bi.
Liu Wenjing said: "I don't know what it is specifically, but when Li Zhiyun took out your royal family's golden sword that day, he swore that he and Shi Bobi had united, and as long as the Tang army held off the Khan in Taiyuan, what?
Bo Bi will take action soon.
He even said that even if he couldn't hold the Khan back, he would try his best to make the Khan lose his troops. In this case, Shi Bobi would definitely rise up to seize power.
In fact, I also think that even if Li Zhiyun is talking nonsense, it is true that Shibo Bi returned to the grassland, and Khan has to guard against it."
Hearing this, Jieli's face turned gloomy.
Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that he still couldn't control Shibo Bi.
He asked: "As the prince, Li Jiancheng can't control Li Zhiyun?"
Liu Wenjing shook her head, wondering: "To be honest with the Khan, Li Zhiyun had doubts about the death of King Qin, so he now attaches great importance to military power. This time the battle with the Khan should have been led by the prince, but Li Zhiyun forcibly integrated the troops.
."
"But Li Jiancheng is the prince, and Li Zhiyun is just a king of Chu." Jie Li was very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's performance.
Liu Wenjing emphasized: "But now the soldiers and horses are in Li Zhiyun's hands. If we forcibly disobey his wishes, he will probably lose his mind because of the death of King Qin. By then we will lose power, and Khan will have to face Li Zhiyun's death."
Stalking and beating.
Now, it is very difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to restrain Li Zhiyun and send me to negotiate peace with the Khan. If the peace talks fail, Li Zhiyun will definitely attack madly. By then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be unable to stop Li Zhiyun even if he wants to.
Khan, I am not being alarmist. You know, I know, my life is in the hands of Khan, and there is really no need for me to deceive Khan here."
Jie Li's face couldn't be more ugly.
"A bunch of trash!"
No one wants to be scolded, and Liu Wenjing is no exception. It's just that he is not a human being inside and outside now, so he can't speak sarcastically.
After a period of silence, Jie Li said: "I can ask for nothing, but you have to ensure that Li Zhiyun can't continue to pester you."
Hearing this, Liu Wenjing was relieved. He came over this time and prepared two plans. If he could not persuade Jieli to abandon the Hedong Road, he could only change his strategy and use gold, silver and silk to compensate the Turks.
Now that Jieli was relieved, Liu Wenjing felt that she had overfulfilled her task.
"Okay, the prince and I will try our best to hold off Li Zhiyun and buy Khan time to retreat."
"I hope you will do what you say." Jieli glared at him fiercely.
In fact, he also understood that if the stalemate continued, Shibobi would gradually lose control, and he had to go back to the grassland to cut off the danger of Shibobi. On the Hedong battlefield, those who disobeyed his Chuluo army had already been dealt with
Eight, now only Shibobi is left.
The next day, Liu Wenjing returned to the camp and told Jie Li that he was willing to withdraw. Everyone felt relieved.
Li Zhiyun was also a little happy because he didn't want to fight to the death with Jie Li at this time.
Soon, the Turkic troops began to retreat rapidly. Li Zhiyun ordered the Tang army to feign an attack, deliberately allowing the Turks a way out.
There was a tacit understanding between the two parties, and no one pointed out anything.
One chasing and one escaping, a strange harmony.
A few days later, the Turkic army had withdrawn from Yunzhou.
Jie Li glanced back and saw the Tang army following them not far away.
This time, he did not lose to the Tang army, but to one of his own people. After he takes care of Shibobi, he will definitely go south again in the future!
Li Yuan, Li Zhiyun, just wait for me!
No one knew how much hatred he felt in his heart. In order to capture Hedong Road this time, he paid a huge price. Although he killed Li Shimin and killed and injured hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, he still had to pay a huge price because of Shi Bobi, a young man.
, he didn’t get any actual benefits.
If Li Shimin's death gave him hope of destroying Li Tang, then Li Zhiyun's rise made him extremely vigilant.
He has no plans to break up with Liu Wenjing at the moment.
Because he knew that Li Zhiyun would most likely lead the troops when they invaded south in the future. Keeping Liu Wenjing alive would be of great use in the future.
As the Turkic soldiers and horses completely left the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army cheered.
While everyone was rejoicing that the Turkic troops had retreated, Dou Kang was the only one who was secretly feeling sad in the corner.
King Qin died, and he could not even avenge King Qin.
The smiles on the faces of the Crown Prince and Prince Qi could hardly be concealed, but in Dou Kang's eyes, they were so dazzling and disgusting.
He was sure that these two people must be involved in King Qin's death!
But he didn't dare to say it because all the people here were the prince's people.
No, maybe there is someone else who is not.
Dou Kang's eyes wandered around and he saw King Chu silent in his seat. Someone offered him a toast, but he just drank a glass with a cold face.
"King Chu, only King Chu has King Qin in his heart."
Dou Kang lamented.
Li Jiancheng caught a glimpse of the cold look on Li Zhiyun's face and understood in his heart that although it was all of them's decision to force the Turks to withdraw their troops, Li Jiancheng knew that Li Zhiyun wanted to avenge the King of Qin.
