Inventory of the top ten emperors and prosperity, the top of the list is stunned Yingzheng

[Just as Li Shimin and his ministers were pondering whether to fight back against the Turks, Datang's spies in Turks sent back news one after another that Turks had suffered the worst snowstorm in a century. 】

[Even in June, there was still heavy snowfall, countless livestock such as cattle, horses, and sheep froze to death, and countless Turkic people also died. 】

[Turkic civil strife continued, Jieli Khan was no longer majestic, the people no longer supported him, and the entire Khanate fell apart. 】

[All the tribes that had submitted to the Turks rebelled one after another. 】

[Li Shimin and other monarchs and ministers were overjoyed, and decided to take the opportunity to send troops to eliminate this serious trouble. 】

[On November 23rd of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered the soldiers to send troops in six routes to destroy the Eastern Turks. 】

[The Ministry of War Minister Li Jing is the general manager of the Dingxiang Road, and Yuchi Jingde and Su Dingfang are the deputy, leading the Chinese army; Xu Shiji, the governor of the state, is the general manager of the Tongmo Road. 】

[Zhang Gongjin and Gao Zengsheng were deputy, leading the main force from the east to directly attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks; Huo Guogong, the governor of Huazhou, was the chief of the Jinhe Road march, and Qin Shubao was the deputy, marching along the Yellow River on the west road, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shiji. 】

[More than a dozen generals led a total of more than [-] troops, all of whom were ordered by Li Jing to counterattack the Turks in six ways. 】

[In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led [-] Xiao cavalry to set off from Mayi, enter Eyangling, and attack and occupy Xiangcheng by night. 】

[Jieli Khan didn't expect the sudden arrival of the Tang army, thinking that Li Jing dared to go deep alone, and there must be a main force to follow, so he hurriedly withdrew the tooth tent to Qikou. 】

[Jieli felt that it was still unsafe and did not dare to stay. He continued to lead his troops to retreat to Yinshan Mountain, fought against Chai Shao's Jinhe Army by the Hun River, and was intercepted by the Tongmo Army led by Xu Shiji, who was in the middle of the cloud, in Baidao , defeated. 】

[At this time, the Turkic army was no longer as brave as it was four years ago when it invaded the city of Chang'an, and it was defeated repeatedly. 】

[At the beginning of the Weishui alliance, Li Shimin was able to defeat the Turks, but he could not completely destroy the country. Li Shimin had to endure for a while, not only to save national power, but also to have this once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity. 】

[Li Shimin took advantage of the snowstorm to attack, did he get a big deal?And Datang. The army has no real strength? 】

[Later generations often have this kind of doubt. 】

[Actually, after the Weishui alliance, the Turks continued to have civil strife. At that time, the leaders of the various tribes came to see Li Shimin one after another, but Jieli Khan was the only one who opposed Li Shimin. 】

[After the Turks withdrew their troops and returned, the rest of the tribes surrendered to Li Shimin one after another, and they were no longer under the control of Jieli Khan. 】

【And Jieli Khan and his nephew Tuli Khan are also wary of each other. In order to protect themselves, Tuli Khan and Li Shimin have long sworn brothers with different surnames. Jieli Khan is already alone. 】

[The strength of the Tang Dynasty has already surpassed that of the Turks. This snow disaster only brought the demise of the Turks ahead of time. Even if there were no natural disasters, the Turkic Khanate would only survive for a few more years. 】

[Jieli retreated to Tieshan and collected tens of thousands of others.Jieli felt that he was no longer an opponent of the Tang army, so he sent Zhi Shisili as a special envoy to Chang'an to apologize to Emperor Taizong and ask for surrender, expressing his willingness to join the country. 】

[Actually, he wants to delay the time, and wait until the grass is fat and the horse is strong, so that he can make a comeback. 】

[At this time, the ministers of the DPRK and China were divided into two factions, and one faction advocated an all-out effort to completely wipe out the Turks. 】

[The other faction believes that Jieli Khan's request can be accepted. At this time, Datang has won and has avenged the Weishui Alliance. 】

[Since Jieli Khan surrendered, it is better to stop the march. The outcome of another march is unpredictable, and it may not be able to really attack the Turkic Khanate. It is better to stop in moderation. 】

[Li Shimin was noncommittal, and sent Honglu Qing Tang Jian, General An Xiuren, etc. to the Turks to comfort them. 】

[Li Jing led his troops to Baidao and joined Xu Shiji. The two thought that although Jieli was defeated, he still had a large number of troops. If he was allowed to flee to Mobei and attach himself to Xue Yantuo and other tribes, it would be difficult to chase and destroy him. 】

[Now that Tang Jian is in Turkic, Jieli is unprepared. If he sends cavalry to attack him, he will definitely be captured alive. 】

[Deputy general Zhang Gongjin believes that Tang Jian and others are now in Turkic, and if they march at this time, they will be in danger. 】

[Li Jing said indifferently, as long as the Turks can be eliminated, the lives of Tang Jian and others are nothing to worry about. They are also loyal to the country and deserve to die. 】

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Tang Jian looked at the video, Li Jing said these words lightly, his face turned dark instantly, and he stared at Li Jing viciously.

Manchao Wenwu couldn't help turning their heads to look at Li Jing, and many people had anger in their eyes.

He doesn't take the lives of civil servants seriously!
Li Jing also looked at the video, a little unbelievable.

Is this really what I said?

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

If that moment really came, I would indeed be able to say such words!
He looked up at Tang Jian's angry eyes, and said lightly.

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with sacrificing the lives of several of your important officials? Aren't those soldiers also willing to bury their bones in other places for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Do you think you are nobler than us soldiers?"

"Or, are you unwilling to sacrifice your life for Datang?"

Tang Jian held his breath in his chest, unable to answer.

This Li Jing is too shameless.

He actually used this tricky question to make things difficult for him.

He himself was willing to be loyal to Datang, and it was his own business to sacrifice his life, but he didn't want to be killed by Li Jing in such a muddleheaded way.

All the courtiers were filled with indignation at Li Jing just now, but at this moment, everyone turned their heads and did not dare to look at him.

They couldn't refute Li Jing's oppression with such righteousness.

Li Shimin stood on a high place, looked at the crowd and smiled slightly, without saying a word.

Everyone looked at him and understood that Li Shimin also agreed with Li Jing's approach.

[Li Jing ordered Xu Shiji to lead the army to succeed him. He personally led ten thousand elite riders, each prepared 20 days of rations, set off overnight, and galloped towards Iron Mountain. 】

[Li Jing's army braved the snow to Yinshan Mountain, encountered more than a thousand Turkic camps, captured all the Turkic soldiers, and went with the army. 】

[When the Turkic leader Jieli Khan saw the arrival of the envoys from the Tang Dynasty, he did relax his vigilance and greeted Tang Jian and others in a grand manner. 】

[Li Jing's general Su Dingfang led [-] cavalry as the vanguard. Under the cover of thick fog, he advanced quickly with his guns in his hands, and was only discovered when he reached Qili of Jieli Yazhang. 】

【Jieli Khan was shocked, he didn't expect Tang Jun to appear suddenly after envoy Chen. 】

【As for Tang Jian and An Xiuren, they were even more frightened out of their wits. In this case, wouldn't they be dead? 】

【Tang Jian was very quick-witted and came up with a clever plan. Thus, on the ancient and modern battlefield, an incredible scene appeared. The two people who were going to be ghosts under the knife miraculously escaped. 】

[In desperation, Tang Jian said, this must be Li Jing's arbitrarily advocating to send troops. My Majesty Tang sent me here, and I have already agreed to your surrender. How can I use troops again? 】

【I'm going out now to make Li Jing strike. 】

[Anyone else would definitely not believe his words. 】
