Because the queen gave birth to a child and the army went out to conquer the Turks, Li Zhiyun decided to temporarily suppress his feelings for Guanyin and stay in Chang'an to handle the government affairs and accompany the queen.
Although the Tang Dynasty declared war on the Turks, the war would not start immediately. Currently, armies from all walks of life were arriving at designated locations one after another, and the war had to wait. Li Zhiyun decided to hand over the command to Li Jing, so naturally he could not
The fool sent out twelve gold medals one day and ordered Li Jing to kill the Turks immediately.
It was not until mid-April that he received the news that all armies had taken their positions.
Li Zhiyun now handles the end of government affairs every day, and then deduce the changes in the direction of the war based on the map.
Unconsciously, people also lost a lot of weight.
Then, Queen Yang privately thought that the emperor was lovesick.
She was both funny and angry about this.
Is that Princess Qin so worthy of being loved?
Li Zhiyun doesn't have extra time to care about what his wife thinks. He lives a very tight life every day now.
Before going to bed every night, he had to read the battle reports from the front line over a dozen times.
According to the rules, reports from the front line are reported every five days, but Li Zhiyun changed it to every three days. This means that in the north, there are cavalrymen returning to Chang'an day and night with news from the front line.
That night, Li Zhiyun read the battle report in the Ganlu Hall, picked up the candlestick, walked to the map, and by the light of the fire, used a pen to outline the location of the Tang army and the location of the Turkic tribes discovered by the scouts.
The war has not started yet, just like the heavy rain is about to fall but it has not yet started.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a waiter came hurriedly outside.
Seeing this, Gao Liangzhong frowned, quietly retreated, stopped the chamberlain, and asked the reason.
Not long after, he walked up to Li Zhiyun with a happy look on his brows.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Li Zhiyun looked away from the map and looked at Gao Liangzhong, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has given birth to a little princess."
Li Zhiyun's face lit up.
"real?"
"real."
"Okay, okay, let's go to Lanxiang Hall."
"yes."
Li Zhiyun longed for it and finally got a baby girl.
At the same time, on the grassland.
Jie Li was very proud of himself a month ago because he held down Yi Nan and beat him violently, beating all the tribesmen who followed Yi Nan and betrayed him one by one.
Just when he was about to cut off the Yi men in one fell swoop, news came from the Turkic scouts that something strange was happening in the south!
When it comes to the south, the Turkic nobles understand everything.
"Large-scale mobilization of the Tang army has occurred in Khan, Jiuyuan, Youzhou, Yingzhou and other places. Among them, the Tang army in Jiuyuan is in contact with Xue Yantuo. After inquiring, it is found that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiuyuan, and the general who leads the army is
Tang general Qin Qiong." Ashina Simo reported.
Hearing this, Jie Li's face suddenly turned stinky. He hated the Tang Dynasty more than Yi Nan, Xue Yantuo hated betrayal, and Tang Dynasty hated the race.
As a Turkic Khan, he knew very well that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to coexist unless one party perished.
Despite the fact that the Tang Dynasty only said good things on the surface, and surrendered as good brothers, Jieli was not an idiot. As a member of the Turkic royal family, he knew very well how the East and West Turks were split.
"Besides Jiuyuan, is there any movement elsewhere?"
Ashina Simo said: "I don't know. Our spies entered the south and no news came back."
"Trash, let's explore again!"
"yes."
Ashina Simo stepped back and asked, "Khan, the Tang army suddenly appeared. Should we wait?"
Jie Li didn't want to wait, he wanted to seize the opportunity and completely destroy Xue Yantuo.
However, Tang Jun is an uncertain factor.
"How many people will you send to test General Tang and find out what they want to do?"
"yes."
Qin Qiong was a prudent man. When the Turks came to ask him if he wanted to provoke a war between Tang and Tutu, Qin Qiong smiled and said that the Tang Dynasty had no such intention.
Then, those Turks were so desperate that they dared to ask Qin Qiong to withdraw his troops.
Qin Qiong ignored them and went straight up to slap each of them in the face, causing their ears to become bloodshot. Then Qin Qiong had someone chop off the Turkic envoy's arm and send him back.
When Jie Li found out, he was immediately furious. He wanted to lead his army south to wipe out Qin Qiong immediately, but thinking of Xue Yantuo, he held back.
Jie Li didn't take action, but Xue Yantuo did.
After Yi Nan knew that Tang Dynasty had sent troops to assist him, he immediately led his army to attack Jieli.
At the same time, Qin Qiong's army advanced north.
After learning this news, Jie Li was sure that the Tang Dynasty was not going to let him destroy Xue Yantuo's tribe this time.
However, what he never expected was.
Something happened in the East.
Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Youzhou, received the order, and Xie Shufang, the governor of Tongying Prefecture, led an army to attack the Turkic tribal territory in the east, namely the Xi tribe.
Facing the overwhelming force of the army, the Turks, who were originally weak in Youzhou, collapsed. In just five days, Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shu conveniently wiped out the Turks in the Xi tribe and killed many Turk generals.
This battle meant that all the Turkic forces north of Youzhou were lost.
When Jie Li got the news, he was shocked.
The little emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to go to war with the Turks?
So, he prepared to send an envoy to Chang'an to question Li Zhiyun.
The messenger was none other than Jie Li's close confidant Kang Sumi.
Speaking of which, Kang Sumi can be regarded as eating the plaintiff and the defendant, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. He made a lot of money on both sides.
This time on his mission to the Tang Dynasty, he thought he could make another fortune, but he never expected to be stopped by Xue Yantuo's cavalry on the way.
"Kang Sumi." Dumozhi was riding on the horse, looking at Kang Sumi who was surrounded by people, with a healthy smile on his face.
"Du Mo Zhi." Kang Sumi's lips trembled.
He was obviously very careful, how could he still be discovered?
Are you so unlucky?
Tumozhi chuckled and said ferociously: "Kang Sumi, tell me, how should I kill you?"
Xue Yantuo was violently beaten by Jie Li, and countless members of his clan died tragically at the hands of the Ashina family. The hatred between Xue Yantuo and the Ashina family was irreconcilable.
"You can't kill me, I'm not a Turk, and I have never killed a Xueyantuo person."
Facing Kang Sumi's argument, Tumoji smiled brighter and brighter. He liked teasing the little lamb like this.
Kang Sumi knelt down and said, "I can give you gold and silver, everything I have, please let me go."
Tumoji asked: "Where are you going?"
"Jieli asked me to go to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to ask the emperor if he wanted to go to war with the Turks."
"Is it that simple?" Tumozhi didn't believe it.
"That's it, I didn't lie to you." Kang Sumi said quickly.
Dumozhi thought that it would be useless to kill this guy. It would be better to hand him over to the Tang army, which would sell better.
"Send him to Jiuyuan."
"yes!"
Soon, Qin Qiong received Kang Sumi.
In the past two days, the Tang army secretly cooperated with Xue Yantuo and pulled him on the flanks. As a result, Jieli faced Xue Yantuo in the battle and was frightened.
Otherwise, Xue Yantuo would not be able to withstand Jie Li's beating. Coupled with the news from Youzhou, Jie Li would be in a difficult situation.
He didn't know how many soldiers and horses the Tang Dynasty deployed.
"Where is Jieli's current main force?" Qin Qiong asked Kang Sumi.
Kang Sumi said: "Before I left, Jieli had already started to retreat. Hearing that something happened in the east, he did not dare to continue the stalemate here."
Qin Qiong was secretly happy, the plan was running smoothly.
Then, Qin Qiong asked many more questions. Kang Sumi did not dare to hide anything and told Qin Qiong everything he knew.
After asking questions, Qin Qiong decided to send Kang Sumi to Chang'an and hand him over to the emperor.
