Li Shimin did not accept Zhi losesili's surrender on the spot, but turned to ask the officials.
"My dear friends, do you think we will accept Jieli Khan's surrender?"
Soon, hundreds of officials from the DPRK and the Central Government came out one after another.
"Your Majesty, Jieli Khan has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and I think it should be accepted."
"At this point, the Tang Dynasty can set up a guard in the Eastern Turks and completely solve the problem in the north. War."
"Our Tang army is invincible and powerful. With the precedent of Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan surrendering, wouldn't the other tribes surrender?"
< p> "..."The answer received was just as Li Shimin expected. More than 90% of the officials were in favor of accepting the surrender of the Eastern Turks.
The surrender of the Eastern Turks also meant the end of the battle, and the Tang Dynasty no longer needed to conquer.
At the same time, it also deterred surrounding countries so that they did not dare to easily harass the people on the border of Datang.
"Compared with Wang Aiqing, the vision of these people is still short-sighted." Li Shimin sighed in his heart.
Since all the officials said so, Li Shimin also continued to act.
"In this case, I will accept Jieli Khan's surrender!" Li Shimin was not ambiguous and agreed in public.
Zhi lost his thoughts and his face lit up, he kowtowed heavily and said loudly.
"The guilty minister Zhi lost his thoughts, thank the Emperor of Tang on behalf of our khan!"
After accepting the confession submitted by Zhi lost his thoughts, Li Shimin looked at the list of civil servants , and immediately issued an edict.
"Tang Jian and An Xiuren, I order you to go to Tieshan to comfort you."
Honglu Qing Tang Jian and General An Xiuren came out of the mission together and said in unison .
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
After the court meeting, Li Shimin held a banquet for hundreds of officials and Zhi lost his thoughts.
Not only celebrates the victory of the Tang Dynasty, but also welcomes the surrender of the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland.
It can be said that this show was very big, and the uninformed officials were quite cooperative.
Even the Supreme Emperor, who had not been seen for a long time, came out and said his first words to Li Shimin after many years.
"Boy, you did a good job."
Such a simple compliment made Li Shimin shed tears of joy.
At the banquet, the officials also treated the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan very well, flattering him in all kinds of ways, making Li Yuan laugh.
Not long after the banquet started, Li Yuan became extremely drunk and was sent back by the guards.
"I have lost my ability to think. It has been less than four years since the last Weishui Alliance. I didn't expect that this meeting would be like this."
Li Shimin smiled. Seeing Zhi losing his mind, he showed an intriguing expression.
"Emperor Tang, our Khan is also worried about the past.Wrong, ashamed. "
"From now on, the eighteen tribes of our grassland will be able to enjoy themselves under the rule of Emperor Tang. "
After Zhi lost his thoughts, he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of ridicule at the corners of their mouths.
While they were drinking and drinking, four fast horses rushed towards Baidao with Li Shimin's secret order.
In order to give Li Jing time to dispatch his troops, Li Shimin. He used various tricks to entertain Zhi Losi Si Li.
He even invited Wang Jian’s royal chef, Sister Hua, to cook delicious food. Zhi Shi Si Li, who was eager to return to Iron Mountain, also fell into despair.
For two consecutive days, Zhi Shi Si Li was immersed in pleasure and did not even mention returning to Iron Mountain.
It wasn’t until his companions reminded Zhi Shisi Li anxiously that he came to his senses.
So Zhi Shisi Li came to Li Shimin again and offered to bid farewell. Emperor, I should go back to Tieshan and report to Khan Jieli, otherwise Khan should be anxious. "
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Okay, I will ask the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to go to Iron Mountain with you. "Li Shimin knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he could only nod in agreement.
If the stubborn mind fails to return, Jieli Khan, who is suspicious by nature, will be wary.
Can delay Two days are enough for Li Jing to mobilize his troops and complete the combat deployment.
"Thank you to Emperor Tang. "Zhi lost his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
At noon, Honglu Qing Tang Jian and General An Xiuren and his party left Chang'an in a hurry with Zhi losing his mind.
When they returned to Tieshan, it was already four days later.
Jieli Khan was very happy when he saw that Li Shimin had sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. He knew that the Tang emperor had fallen into the trap.
The excited Jieli Khan quickly ordered the envoys to be treated with the highest courtesy.
Little did they know that they had fallen into the encirclement of the Tang army.
Li Li. There is a camp stationed in a mountain 200 miles away from Tieshan.
Several messengers are reporting to Li Jing the situation of various armies.
"Report to General Manager Li. General Ji has led 2,000 elite cavalry and 4,000 elite infantry to arrive at Qikou to ambush. ”
Qikou is an important transportation chokepoint, and it was the main transportation route for Jieli Khan to escape from Tieshan to the desert.
Li Ji’s ambush this time was the same as the ambush in Baidao , all have the effect of cutting off the Turks' retreat.
"Inform Manager Li, General Li Daozong, General Chai Shao, and Xue Wanche have intercepted the rest of the Turkic army supporting Jieli Khan. "
"Wei Xiaojie, the general manager of the Heng'an Road march, also led his army to the west to attack the remaining Turkic tribes. ”
Hear from all sidesThe army completely followed his combat deployment, Li Jing said happily, slapping his thigh.
"Great, the time has come to hang Jieli Khan!"
A few days ago, Li Jing received a secret order from Chang'an City.
I learned that His Majesty pretended to accept the surrender of the Eastern Turks just to confuse Jieli Khan and prevent him from continuing to flee north.
His Majesty also asked Li Jing to eliminate the effective forces of the Eastern Turks.
At the end of the secret order, His Majesty attached a poem written by Wang Jian for them, called "Out of the Fortress". "
When Li Jing recited the poem to the whole army, everyone got goosebumps with excitement.
"But if the flying generals of Dragon City are here, don't teach Hu. Madu Yinshan. "
Especially these two sentences made them so proud that they wanted to destroy the East Turks immediately.
With Li Shimin's instructions, Li Jing put down all his worries.
p>
He began to mobilize his troops. On the one hand, he asked various armies to block the Turkic tribes who came to support him. On the other hand, he mobilized most of the cavalry from several armies.
He now has at his disposal. There are more than 15,000 cavalry available.
Li Jing walked to the march map and frowned in thought.
It took half an hour for him to come to his senses.
"Zhang Gongjin, I will personally lead 15,000 cavalry to approach Tieshan tonight and attack Jieli Khan tomorrow evening. "
"You lead 10,000 infantry to follow quickly. Let all the soldiers bring three days of rations and go into battle lightly. We will decide the outcome in one battle! "
"Okay, I will lead the army to set off in the afternoon, and I will lead as many troops as possible on a rapid march to keep up with you. "Zhang Gongjin nodded and said.
The marching speed of infantry is much slower than that of cavalry. Even if they march lightly and quickly, it will take at least a day and a half to reach Iron Mountain.
Therefore Zhang Gongjin could only make up the time by setting off first.
Next, the two chief and deputy marching commanders discussed the specific details of the battle. After a long time, Zhang Gongjin left the commander's tent with a solemn expression.
"Come here, call Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Wang Dingtai, and Xu Hu. "Li Jing's voice came out from the tooth tent.
"Yes, general. "
The soldiers outside the tent responded and immediately ran to call for help.
