While the Tang Dynasty was negotiating, Batu came to Tong'e with 50,000 people to set up a headquarters.
Under Tong'e's coercion, Yi Nan finally agreed to send troops to help.
Once Tong'eshe really fled to Mobei, Yuanqi would not be able to withstand the Tang Dynasty's troops, and Xue Yantuo would be attacked from both sides.
Yi Nan naturally understood this, so he had to send troops.
Tong'e arranged for Yuanqi's 50,000 cavalry and Xue Yantuo's 50,000 cavalry. She was in a good mood and hosted a banquet in honor of Batu.
After drinking for three rounds, Tong Eshe said: "I am going to raise two hundred thousand troops to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop."
"King Youxian, I heard that in the Tang Dynasty there was a kind of bow and arrow that could fire continuously, which was called a crossbow. I don't know if it is true or not?" Batu asked.
Tong'eshe nodded and said, "Yes, the defeat of the 100,000-strong army was because of that serial crossbow."
"This thing is so powerful, I wonder how King Youxian plans to deal with it?" Batu asked.
Tong'eshe smiled and said: "That repeating crossbow is used by infantry. As long as we keep a sufficient distance, can those Tang soldiers try to catch up with our horses on two legs? As long as we get rid of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, those two-legged sheep,
Aren’t you going to let us slaughter you?”
After learning the details of the previous situation from the soldiers who escaped, Tong'eshe cursed Shaboluo.
If Shaboluo had chosen to attack the Tang cavalry first, how could he have been defeated?
It's a pity that Shabolo is dead, so I don't know if he can hear it.
…
Chang'an was no different because of the war on the border. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking and noise were endless.
royal palace
Yuzhang Hall
Li Lizhi looked at Princess Yuzhang, who was dressed in red, and said with a smile: "My sister is so beautiful today."
A blush appeared on Princess Yuzhang's face, and under the support of rouge, her face became even more rosy.
"Sister, please stop laughing at me."
The two quarreled for a while, and Li Lizhi said: "Okay, okay, it's time to salute in a moment, and don't get your clothes messed up."
Li Lizhi called the palace maid, helped Princess Yuzhang tidy up her clothes, and then asked the palace maid to step aside. The two sisters looked at each other in silence.
"Sister, I'm a little scared." Princess Yuzhang was the first to break the silence.
Princess Yuzhang didn't know how to describe her current mood.
She had been living in the palace before, but she longed for the outside world.
Now that she was about to get married and move out of the palace, she felt a little hesitant.
Li Lizhi said softly: "What is there to be afraid of? Ordinary women get married and their parents-in-law make things difficult for them. You are a princess and who dares to make things difficult for you?"
Princess Yuzhang did not speak. She was not worried about these things, but about Fang Yiai.
She had also heard of Fang Yiai's reputation, although he was not as dissolute as those dandy boys.
But the reputation is not that good either.
Although Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang have the same father, they are in the same grade and have had a very good relationship since childhood. Seeing Princess Yuzhang's look, she guessed it and said with a smile: "Others say Fang Yi
Ai Mang, in fact, as far as I know, Fang Yiai is not really Mang. He usually likes to help the weak and has had many fights with people."
"The reason why others say he is reckless is because he is the son of the prime minister. Look at Cheng Chumo's children of generals. Do they rarely fight? No one calls them reckless?"
Princess Yuzhang's expression lit up. After thinking about it carefully, what Li Lizhi said seemed very reasonable.
Li Lizhi sat next to Princess Yuzhang and sighed, looking a little lonely and said: "I used to think that I must marry a great hero who can be both literary and military."
"Why, the literary talent of the Marquis of Jingyang County is well known in Chang'an, and his martial arts are also praised by everyone. Is there anything else that my sister is dissatisfied with?" Princess Yuzhang asked doubtfully.
When Li Lizhi was offered marriage to Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan's reputation was not that great.
But later on, Lin Xuan's reputation grew bigger and bigger, and he was capable of both literary and martial arts. Although his family background was average, Lin Xuan was also awarded the title of Marquis due to his merits.
She even once thought that it would be great if the person she proposed to marry was Lin Xuan.
Li Lizhi shook her head and said: "I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. When I was not married, I hoped that my husband would be a great hero, but now I hope that he can be mediocre."
Li Lizhi now feels as if she suddenly saw the willows on the street and regrets teaching her husband to seek a title.
After receiving the news of the victory on the front line, she was happy for a while, but then came deep worry.
Princess Yuzhang could not understand Li Lizhi's mood and looked at Li Lizhi with some doubts.
"You will understand later." Li Lizhi did not explain.
That feeling can only be experienced if you truly fall in love with someone.
Princess Yuzhang may understand in the future, or she may never understand.
Princess Yuzhang's wedding was naturally not as lively as when Li Lizhi got married.
After all, three princesses got married at the same time.
But Princess Yuzhang was also Li Shimin's favorite princess, and with the successive victories on the front line, Li Shimin was in a very good mood.
"Sister Huang, I heard that Lin Xuan has made great contributions on the front line. Congratulations to Sister Huang." Li Tai said with a smile.
Li Lizhi said: "It is the duty of a minister to share your worries for the king, and merit is only secondary."
"Qing Que, Li Zhi, what are you whispering about?" Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, asked.
Many people heard Li Shimin's words and looked at Li Tai and Li Lizhi.
Li Tai stood up, bowed and said, "Father, my son and I heard that the Marquis of Jingyang County has made many military exploits on the front line, and are congratulating the emperor's sister."
"Haha, that guy Lin Xuan has indeed made a lot of contributions." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Although Li Shimin called Lin Xuan a boy, everyone could hear the intimacy in his tone and were a little jealous of Lin Xuan.
"My sons are excited when they hear the news of the victory of the Tang Dynasty. My father and I also want to go to the battlefield and contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai said solemnly.
quiet!
As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, although the dancers in the hall were still dancing and the musicians were still playing, everyone felt that the sounds had disappeared and looked at Li Shimin, wanting to see how Li Shimin would reply.
When the prince goes to the battlefield, in a sense, he represents the royal family.
It can also increase your prestige in the military, which is of extraordinary significance.
Generally, in order to boost the morale of the army, the emperor would only send the prince to go there himself.
Li Chengqian's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Li Tai's words, but the clenched hands in his sleeves showed his nervousness.
The smile on Li Shimin's face froze for a moment and he said: "I am very happy that Qingque has such a heart. It's just that you are born fat and have no martial arts skills. Just forget about going to the battlefield."
"Father, although my son is not proficient in martial arts, he is not afraid of death for the Tang Dynasty. He is willing to be a pawn and charge into battle for the Tang Dynasty. I ask my father to fulfill my wish," Li Tai said.
"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore." Li Shimin said with a somewhat ugly expression.
Even if he likes Li Tai, he still knows what it means to let Li Tai go to the battlefield.
Not to mention that he had noticed some of Li Tai's little thoughts, even if he hadn't, he wouldn't have agreed.
No matter before or now, Li Shimin has never thought about Yi Chu.
