Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 219: No one can stop Li Yuan from missing his grandson! [Seeking monthly votes]

"Yugushe, are you crazy?! I am your Khan!" Tuli came back to his senses from the shock and immediately scolded Yugushe.

Although it was Yu Gushe's idea that he chose to join Li Chengqian, this kind of joining was actually very fragile.

Just like when he and Li Shimin became sworn brothers in Youzhou, it did not affect his following Jie Li south to force Li Shimin to sign the Weishui Alliance.

However, what he never expected was that he was just acting, but his subordinates actually took it seriously.

You know, Yu Gushe’s elite cavalry is his real asset.

Every person inside was a Turkic warrior carefully selected by him.

In order to get Li Chengqian to help him, he had spent all his money.

Although the rewards he received far exceeded his expectations, he knew very well that the people of the Central Plains are the people of the Central Plains, and the people of the grassland are the people of the grassland, and it is impossible for the two sides to integrate together.

Therefore, he was not worried at all that Yu Gushe would betray him.

But the fact is that Yu Gushe not only followed Li Chengqian wholeheartedly, but also betrayed him in front of him.

This was such a surprise and caught him off guard.

How can you do this?

He's obviously my trusted general!!

But Yu Gushe said calmly and indifferently: "Tuli, there are some things we need to clarify today to avoid misunderstandings from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

"From today on, we are no longer your subordinates, but one of the six commanders of the East Palace, the Wolf Fang Guard!"

"You don't have to feel unhappy. You've actually gained quite a bit from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We're even now."

"Bastard!"

Before Yu Gushe could finish his words, Tuli interrupted him angrily: "What do you mean by 'event'? The things he gave me were only enough for me to help Datang defeat Jie Li. How can we even things? Your home is on the grassland, and you will always be grassland people!"

After saying this, he lowered his gaze to the area behind Yu Gushe and shouted, "Men of the Tuli tribe! Are you going to betray your Khan?!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind Yu Gushe looked at each other, but no one responded to him.

Seeing this scene, Tuli was completely stunned.

What magical powers does the Crown Prince of Tang have?
He was actually able to convince his subordinates to pledge allegiance to him in such a short time?!

Is there no one who changes his mind?
impossible!
It's impossible!

Tuli still shouted, "Your wives are waiting for you! Come back with me!"

The subordinates behind Yu Gushe still did not respond after hearing this.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

But fortunately, the embarrassment did not last too long, and Yu Gushe said lightly:

"Tuli, don't waste your time. Our family will live well on the grassland. If you dare to touch them, you can try. We can take down Jie Li's Khan's tent, and yours too!"

"If you don't touch their families, we might remember your kindness. If you do, you will bear the consequences!"

"Arrogant!" Tuli was completely enraged by Yu Gushe's words. He immediately ordered Yishi Yinan beside him: "Yishi Yinan! Capture these traitors!"

Upon hearing this, Yishi Yinan looked at him as if he were an idiot and said coldly, "They are the people of the Tang Crown Prince, that is, the Tang Army. Is the Khan planning to go to war with the Tang?"

"you!"

Tuli's eyelids twitched, his face full of disbelief.

At this moment, Jie Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Stupid Tuli! I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to hand over your own subordinates to others. Now even your own subordinates have betrayed you!"

"Hahaha! You're not much better than me!"

After laughing, he looked at Yu Gushe with interest and said, "Yu Gushe, you want to offer this Khan to that Tang prince, right?"

"That's right! This is our mission!" Yu Gushe replied calmly.

"it is good!"

Jie Li readily agreed, "I was just thinking of meeting that Tang prince to see what kind of ability he has to destroy the Turkic people's century-old foundation in one fell swoop!"

"No! You can't take him away!"

As soon as Jie Li finished speaking, Yishi Yinan's voice sounded again.

Yu Gushe glanced at them coldly and said solemnly, "You, Xueyantuo, also want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's not the case. What I mean is that our Gur Khanate and the Tang Dynasty jointly attacked Jie Li. Now that the Tang army hasn't arrived yet, how can we explain to the Tang army that you took Jie Li away without permission?"

"What are you going to do?"

Yishi Yinan thought for a moment and said, "How about we wait until General Li Jing arrives?"

"This"

Yu Gushe hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at his confidant beside him.

They just looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Although they nominally belonged to the Tang army, they were not actually the real Tang army.

Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstanding, they should indeed give an explanation to Li Jing.

"Okay! Then let's wait until General Li Jing arrives!"

Elsewhere, just as Li Jing was slicing off his frost-covered beard, Zhang Ping rode up and reported, "General, my night raid was a success. I killed over 5,000 Turkic soldiers, captured over 20,000, and captured tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!"

"Where are Zhao Deyan and Jie Li?" Li Jing didn't care about anything else but these two people.

Then Zhang Ping said, "Zhao Deyan escaped, and Jie Li was captured by Yu Gushe!"

"Did you see clearly? Is it really Jie Li?"

"It's Jie Li, there's no doubt about it. Yu Gushe and the others can't possibly admit their mistake!"

"Okay! Take me to see it!" Li Jing didn't even bother to rest.

To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. What he cares most about is the whereabouts of Jie Li.

When he was heading to Yu Valley to set up camp, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he was the one who caught Jie Li, then his previous worries would not have been a problem.

"Where is the commander of Yugu? Where is the commander of Yugu?" Li Jing shouted from a distance, unable to suppress his excitement.

Upon hearing this, Yu Gushe hurried out to greet him: "I greet General Li!"

"Has Commander Yu Gushe really captured Jie Li?"

"Haha, yes, General Li, we really caught him. Come with me, I'll take you to see Jie Li!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you for your help!"

Li Jing nodded repeatedly, and then followed Yu Gushe into the tent without saying a word.

At this time, Jie Li was tied in the middle, surrounded by generals of the Gur Khanate.

Li Jing glanced at the Gur Khanate generals without giving them any further attention. Then he fixed his gaze on Jie Li. After carefully examining him for a while, he smiled as if letting out a long sigh of relief and said, "This battle has finally come to an end. We can now report to His Majesty!"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Tuli sneered, then said sarcastically, "Is it the Crown Prince or the Emperor who makes the decisions in your Tang Dynasty? How can a son take away the credit for his father's achievements?"

"Ok?"

Li Jing frowned, looked at Tuli with some confusion, and said in a deep voice: "What does Tuli Khan mean by this?"

"It's not what I meant, it's what your prince meant. We were the ones who formed an alliance to defeat Jie Li, but it's your prince who got the credit. What does this mean?"

"This"

Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but look at Yu Gushe with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, Yu Gushe knew very well that Yi Shi Yinan asked to notify Li Jing just to create a conflict between Li Jing and himself.

However, even though he knew Yishi Yinan's sinister intentions, he had to do so.

After all, Yishi Yinan is easy to deal with, but Li Jing is not.

But he took the initiative to explain: "To be honest with you, General Li, I am here to capture Jie Li on the orders of the Crown Prince, so I will not hand Jie Li over to you!"

"Oh?"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows, then looked around at everyone present and asked, "Then what does the Crown Prince mean? What should we do with Jie Li?"

"The prince didn't give any specific instructions, he just asked me to capture Jie Li alive!"

"Now that Jie Li has been captured, what are your thoughts?"

"It is said that the prince has returned to Chang'an. I want to bring Jie Li back to Chang'an!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Jing laughed out loud, then patted Yu Gushe's shoulder and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? If I catch Jie Li, I will also send him to Chang'an."

"General Lee!"

Before Li Jing finished speaking, Tuli stood up from his seat and said indignantly, "This is our achievement. How can you give it away?"

"What do you mean by giving it away? We didn't catch Jie Li, it was Yu Gushe who caught him!" Li Jing stopped laughing and said calmly.

"But, if we hadn't held back Jie Li's army, how could Yuguse, with such a small number of people, have captured Jie Li!" Tuli still said with some indignation.

Yishi Yinan, standing nearby, chimed in, "General Li Jing, aren't you going to strive for first-class merit? How can you achieve that if you let Jie Li go? You promised the soldiers!"

"That's right! We will never allow Jie Li to be taken away by Yu Gushe!"

"General Li Jing, you have to give us an explanation!"

"Yu Gushe is such a despicable guy, he actually tried to steal our credit!"

"."

As Tuli and the other two finished their words, the generals of the Gur Khanate in the tent all echoed them.

However, Li Jing still ignored them and said calmly, "How to deal with Jie Li is the business of the Tang Dynasty. Although you are our allies, it is not your turn to make the final decision on the affairs of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying this, he fixed his gaze on Tuli and said solemnly, "If the Gur Khanate has any objections, they can send someone to accompany us to Chang'an to appeal to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Tuli couldn't help but look hesitant.

Seeing this, Yi Shiyinan, who was standing by, clenched his fists in frustration.

But the Great Khan of the Gur Khanate was Tuli, not him.

Even if he wanted to represent the Gur Khanate to go to Chang'an, he would have to get Tuli's consent. But Tuli said thoughtfully, "There's no need to send someone to go with you to Chang'an. As long as you report the merits of my Gur Khanate to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I won't owe you anything!"

"Sweat!"

"Okay, it's settled!"

Before Yishiyinan could finish his words, Tuli interrupted him without question, and then left the military tent first with his subordinates.

Yishi Yinan and others looked at each other, feeling unwilling and retreating in anger.

Only when Jie Li, Yu Gushe, and Li Jing were the only ones left in the tent did Jie Li sneer and say, "That Yishi Yinan is definitely not an ordinary person. I'm afraid Tuli can't control him!"

"Ah!"

Li Jing laughed: "You still have the mood to care about others now? Let me ask you, where did Zhao Deyan escape to?"

"How should I know? He gave me his armor and escaped alone. Perhaps he was shot to death by your Tang army!"

"That's not the case. My people have confirmed that he did escape!"

"So, he betrayed me too?"

"Who knows?"

"Damn it! You Han people are more cunning than each other!!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You're a prisoner now, so behave yourself!"

"Humph!"

Jie Li snorted coldly, as if he knew his situation, so he didn't argue.

Li Jing then added, "Let's appoint a commander for Yugu. I'll leave Jie Li to you to take to Chang'an. I also need to settle the grasslands here to prevent the Gur Khanate from taking advantage of the situation!"

"Yes!"

Yu Gushe nodded in response, then ordered his men to take Jie Li and head south.

At the same time, outside Taiyuan City.

Li Yuan sat in the carriage, playing chess with Yuan Tiangang and chatting with him.

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was besieged by the Xiongnu in Baideng City. He never succeeded in his revenge until his death."

"We have raised an army in Jinyang. To protect ourselves from the enemy in the north, we have no choice but to pay tribute to Shibi Khan!"

"To be honest, I felt extremely frustrated at that time!"

Having said that, he put down a chess piece, then looked at Yuan Tiangang and said with a smile: "If it weren't for what you said back then, I wouldn't be able to endure the humiliation so much!"

"When the Tang Dynasty was first established, it was magnificent and its achievements were glorious. Even without those words, the emperor would still be a rich and noble man!" Yuan Tiangang said while stroking his beard, and then he dropped a piece.

Li Yuan glanced at the chess piece he had dropped, frowning slightly. He then sighed, "This is a risky move! I never thought that you cultivators would resort to such risky tactics!"

"hehe."

Yuan Tiangang smiled noncommittally, then stroked his beard and said, "Those who practice Taoism have their own principles and should follow their hearts. If their hearts lead to danger, even if they want to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it!"

"So, according to what you said, will it be dangerous for us to go to Chang'an?"

"This"

Yuan Tiangang counted on his fingers, then nodded with a smile: "Yes!"

"Report——!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a report came from outside the car.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but look surprised and thought to himself, is it so accurate?

Soon, Du Caigan rode his horse to the outside of the carriage and whispered, "Your Majesty, our way has been blocked by King Jiangxia and his men!"

"Ok?"

Li Yuan frowned, then turned to look at Yuan Tiangang and said in a deep voice, "Can we just charge over there?"

"No, he brought at least 5,000 people with him."

"Outrageous! Let him come over!"

"Yes!"

Du Caigan responded.

Soon, Li Daozon came over on horseback with his personal guards.

"Your Majesty, weren't you going hunting? Why are you hunting outside the city? Where are you going?"

Li Dao Zong asked with a wry smile.

Li Yuan opened the carriage window and looked at him calmly: "Do I need to tell you where I'm going?"

"Don't dare!"

Li Dao Zong smiled and said, "It is His Majesty's freedom to go wherever he wants. However, I, your nephew, am ordered by Your Majesty to protect you at all times. So, wherever you go, please be sure to take me with you."

"Oh, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not, my nephew is just..."

"Alright Cheng Fan, you still want to show off your skills in front of me?"

Li Yuan interrupted Li Dao Zong in a bad mood, and then said directly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm not going hunting, I want to go back to Chang'an!"

"what?"

Li Daozong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly want to return to Chang'an?"

"Don't worry about my business!"

"But, without your Majesty's order, I am also in a difficult situation."

"Could it be that I, the Emperor Emeritus, am no longer keeping my word?"

Li Yuan's tone suddenly became majestic, and even the way he addressed him changed.

But Li Daozon still looked at him with an embarrassed expression, refusing to give in.

It was not until Li Yuan's face showed anger that Li Daozong said again: "Grand Emperor, you should come back with me."

"What if I say no?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

But Li Dao Zong said in a deep voice: "Then don't blame me for being rude."

"Ah!"

Li Yuan laughed: "Chengfan, are you forcing me?"

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This is not your intention. However, without your Majesty's permission, I dare not allow you to return to Chang'an."

"Oh!"

Li Yuan slammed the documents on the carriage and said angrily, "What does Li Erlang mean? Does he want to imprison me in Taiyuan?!"

"No, no, Your Majesty did not mean that. Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"What's there to calm down? He asked me to come to Taiyuan to worship our ancestors. I'm here, and now that the worship is over, why won't he let me leave?"

"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty did not stop you from leaving."

"Then what do you mean by stopping me?"

"Without your majesty's permission, I dare not let the emperor return to Chang'an."

"Good good!"

When Li Yuan heard what Li Dao Zong said, he laughed out loud: "It seems that you are determined to stop me, right?"

"No, it's your majesty."

"Oh!"

Before Li Dao Zong could finish his words, a deafening sound came from the carriage.

Li Daozong was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask Li Yuan: "Grand Emperor, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but if you say another word of nonsense, something might happen."

"what?"

Li Daozon only felt a sudden pain as if he was being burned by fire above his forehead, and he couldn't help but stop talking.

But Li Yuan said coldly: "This thing is called a musket. As long as I pull the trigger, your head will be blown off by me. Don't think I'm kidding you. Back in Haozhi County, Cheng Qian and I killed two guards each!"

"You must know Shouzhuolang, right?"

"This"

Li Daozon's pupils shrank suddenly.

He naturally knew who was guarding Zhuolang.

And he had also had contact with the people who guarded Zhuolang.

Those people are desperate criminals with great martial arts skills.

Li Yuan and Li Chengqian were just an old man and a child, but each of them could kill two guards. This shows how powerful the musket was.

"Madam, I am your nephew."

"So what if he's my nephew? Even my own sons are no good! Now I ask you, either let us go or die, which one do you choose?"

"Me me me"

Li Dao Zong stammered for a long time, but finally decided that his life was the most important thing, so he said with a bitter face: "Grand Emperor, please don't say that I let you go. You are well aware of His Majesty's temper."

"Humph! Who cares? I miss my grandson. Who cares?"

Li Yuan snorted disdainfully, then turned to look at Yuan Tiangang and raised an eyebrow. "This isn't the risk Mr. Yuan is talking about, is it?"

"no."

"What about this?"

"Near miss!"

"Oh! You cultivators really do have principles!"

Li Yuan smiled and immediately ordered Du Caigan, "Let's go! Let's go back to Chang'an!"
