Chen Lin took the good news and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Haha, okay." Li Shimin laughed gratifiedly when he saw it, "The crown prince led the white-robed army to show off our national prestige in the Tang Dynasty, massacred four Turkic tribes in a row, sealed the earth into a tomb, and built a high-rise temple. To frighten those who covet my Great Tang, the crown prince even confiscated a large amount of money, food, cattle and sheep, and Hou Junji is asking me to send someone to consign them."

"Although they haven't caught up with the prince yet, I believe that there will be more and more Turks falling under the iron hooves of the white-robed army. What a joy, joy."

Knowing this good news, Li Shimin's haze was swept away.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

Chapter 128

Li Shimin looked at Cui Yongqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who stood up, with displeasure on his face and burning eyes.

The civil and military officials in the court also frowned.

The prince's victory in the battle was supposed to be a joyous event, but when this guy said it, it was related to the punishment of heaven.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin said displeased: "Why, according to what you said, the prince's victory in the battle is not only useless? On the contrary, he has done it?"

"Not only can I not reward him? Instead, I want to punish him?"

Li Chengqian led the white-robed army into the Turkic territory, not only to promote the country's prestige for the Tang Dynasty, but also to open up the territory for Li Shimin. How could Li Shimin not like such great achievements.

What's more, Li Chengqian seized countless money and food in this battle, which is even more good for Li Shimin whose treasury is empty.

Whether it is public or private, he will protect Li Chengqian.

Besides, Cui Yongqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, didn't have any good intentions, taking advantage of Li Chengqian's absence in Chang'an City, he took advantage of the opportunity to label him indiscriminately.

Cui Yongqi said indifferently: "I don't dare, but the year is approaching, ancestor worship is just around the corner, the prince is constantly killing outside, corpses are lying all over the field, blood flows into rivers, causing people to die, and monsters are happening everywhere in Chang'an city. Injury to Tianhe, once Heaven's punishment is caused, it will be Datang who will lose."

"It's nonsense." Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up. It was about Li Chengqian. As an uncle, he definitely couldn't stand it. When the Turks invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty and slaughtered the common people, why didn’t I see Cui Shilang go to tell the Turks that it would hurt the peace of heaven!”

Cui Yongqi raised his eyebrows and said: "Turks have no way, extinction of humanity, and disasters will come from heaven, so why do I need to say more, Your Majesty has always ruled the country with principles, convinced people with virtue, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the world's etiquette and sacrifices. Minister of the Ministry of Rites, your majesty is worried, is there anything wrong with that?"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "Cui Shilang is really eloquent. I don't know about the Ministry of Rites, but you are first-rate in turning black and white."

Cui Yongqi didn't change his expression, he cupped his hands to Changsun Wuji and said: "Mr. Zhao, each other."

"You..." Changsun Wuji was very angry at Cui Yongqi.

The members of this family were always messing around, they became arrogant again when Li Chengqian was not in Chang'an City.

But Cui Yongqi laughed secretly, they knew about Li Chengqian's massacre of Turks earlier than Li Shimin.

If Li Chengqian cannot be brought down head-on, they will attack from the dark side. Even if they can't kill Li Chengqian, they will ruin his reputation forever.

"Okay! Don't quarrel!" Li Shimin patted the case and said angrily: "The case needs to be investigated, the ancestor worship must be carried out, and the Turks must also be fought. You just do your own thing well. As for other things, I have my own responsibility." Make up your mind, you don't need to worry about it, retreat!"

Li Shimin was annoyed by Cui Yongqi, there were only groundless quarrels, and there was no point in continuing the early court.

The civil and military officials looked at Li Shimin who was angry, but they didn't say anything, and when Li Shimin left the court, they dispersed.

At this time, Li Daozong was the most difficult. These bizarre cases could not be solved, and the five surnames and Qiwang had been holding on to this matter. Although Li Shimin understood the righteousness, it was not a good thing to make the people panic.

Finally, if this matter is pinned to Li Chengqian, then his Minister of Punishment is over.

……

Turkic tooth tent.

Chuluo Khan was sitting in the tent with a sad face.

The mission was killed, and Li Chengqian led the white-robed army to their hinterland, pointing their sword at the tooth tent.

The most important thing is that he destroyed the tribe all the way, Li Jingguan, and even captured his general Columb alive, and wiped out [-] of his elites. Such losses made Chu Luo vomit a mouthful of old blood.

Chu Luo looked at the tribal leaders in the tent, and said angrily: "Li Chengqian is about to lead his army to kill us under the Ya tent, do you have any way to solve my Turkic crisis?"

The tribal leaders lowered their heads and remained silent.

When they heard the news that Li Chengqian led his army into the hinterland of Turkic territory, they immediately moved the tribe to the Yazhang.

Originally, they hadn't paid attention to the more than 7000 people in the White Robe Army.

But when they heard that Li Chengqian set up the Jingguan, slaughtered more than [-] tribes in a row, and captured Columbine and Asde Hongzhe alive, they were so frightened that they left the camp overnight and migrated to the Yazhang on a large scale in order to keep warm in groups.

The tribal leader Ashina Fund stood up and said, "Khan, I have a plan to protect the Turks."

"Oh?" Chu Luo said happily: "Feng De, what good plan do you have?"

"Great Khan, you should immediately send someone to Chang'an City to ask for surrender, and say that we East Turks are willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty and obey his orders from Li Shimin. Only by doing this can the Turks be safe."

Just as Ashina Fund finished speaking, there was an uproar in the big tent.

"Ah? Please surrender to Li Shimin, how can this work, I am a dignified Turkic, how can I submit to the Tang people?"

"Yes, yes, we killed so many Tang people, how could Li Shimin let us go so easily? I don't think things are that simple."

"No, absolutely not. If we surrender to Datang, then there will be no face left in the world. I would rather fight with them."

"Li Chengqian only has more than 7000 horses. We now have tens of thousands of troops. We are afraid that he will not succeed with a white-robed army. At worst, we will fight him to the death."

"I think this plan is feasible. We only surrendered to Datang superficially. Our dental tent is so far away from Chang'an City. Can Li Shimin control us?"

The leaders of the various tribes were discussing in whispers, almost all of them were voices of opposition.

Chu Luo Khan was startled at first, then fell into deep thought.

The white-robed army was in full swing. At the beginning outside Liangzhou City, Li Cheng killed Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan with his hands, and even killed more than ten times as much as his own 20 Turkic army. into a river.

This matter is a bloody lesson, which cannot be tolerated without careful consideration.

What's more, he also captured Columbine and Ashi Dehongzhe alive, which made Chu Luo have to pay attention to the strength of the white robe army.

Li Chengqian is not a fool, let alone a lunatic, he dared to lead a solitary army of more than 7000 people to go deep and sweep the Turkic ministries, so he must have his own confidence.

If it was delayed any longer, it would be too late when Li Chengqian led his army to the Yazhang.

lean less...

Chu Luo Khan said slowly: "I think this is feasible. For the survival of my Turkic people, it is not a bad idea to be inferior to the Tang people."

His words shocked the tribal leaders present, they never imagined that Chuluo Khan agreed to surrender so quickly.

"Khan, this is absolutely impossible..."

"Yeah, the matter of surrender has a lot to do with it, we need a long-term plan..."

"Khan, let's discuss it again..."

Even if Chuluo Khan agreed, the tribal leaders were still unwilling to surrender to the Tang people.

Chapter 129 The Turks Please Surrender, The Enemy Attacks

discuss? Chuluo Khan stood up, "The White Robe Army camp is just outside the hinterland. That location is easy to find. Any of you should discuss it with Li Chengqian, and let him not attack Yazhang, and let him not slaughter your tribe." "

The tribal leaders who spoke lowered their heads and remained silent, telling them to go to the camp of the White Robe Army.

Chuluo Khan looked at the silent big tent, patted the table and said angrily: "Ah! Tell me! What is your ability! You don't know how far Li Chengqian is from my tooth tent. You are confident to defeat Bingfeng Zhengsheng's white-robed army?"

"Wait for you to discuss and come up with a result, do we still have a life to sit here!"

At this time, the Turks had already become frightened birds. Although they held an army of nearly [-], they still did not have the courage to fight Li Chengqian. They had already been terrified by the white-robed army.

Several tribal leaders looked at each other in blank dismay, stood up and cupped their hands.

"It's all at the behest of the Khan."

……

Now, they have no better way, and what they just said was just angry words.

"Liu Yun." Chu Luo Khan looked at the tent, a 40-year-old Han said.

Liu Yun stood up and clasped his hands, "Khan."

Chu Luo Khan said: "Liu Yun, you are a Han Chinese, and you know what the Han people think. This time, I will send you as a Turkic envoy, carrying a lot of gifts, to the Tang Dynasty to meet Li Shimin to represent our Eastern Turkic spirit. The heart of surrender."

"As long as Li Shimin can get Li Chengqian out of Turkic territory and promise not to attack and kill us again, then we are willing to pay a large amount of money, grain, cattle and sheep to Datang every year, and we are willing to serve Li Shimin's orders."

Liu Yun said indifferently: "It's the Great Khan, and my subordinates will do their best to persuade Li Shimin to protect me from Turks."

"Yeah." Chu Luo Khan nodded in satisfaction, "The life and death of our Eastern Turks are entrusted to your hands."

Afterwards, he looked at a Turkic man in the tent, "Ashi Nahuaye, I order you to lead five hundred tent elites to go to Chang'an City with Liu Yun to meet Li Shimin."

"Remember, listen to Liu Yun in everything, do what he tells you to do, no need to ask, understand?"

Ashina Huaye cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Great Khan."

Chu Luo Khan waved his hand, "Okay, let's go quickly, and make sure to bring the Tang envoy back before Li Chengqian arrives at Yazhang."

"Yes, sweat."

The two said in unison, then turned and left the camp.

"Big... Big Khan, sending Liu Yun, isn't it a bit wrong..."

As soon as Liu Yun left the tent, a discordant voice came out.

Chuluo Khan stared and said angrily, "If you think you can do it, then I'll send you there!"

Hearing this, the man shrank his head and sat down.

Not long after, a group of 500 elite cavalry rushed out of the Turkic tent and galloped towards Chang'an City.

into the night...

In Chu Luo Khan's handsome tent, a figure came in by taking advantage of the darkness.

The man walked into Luo Kehan, who was at the opposite side of the handsome tent, and said: "Khan, just now Ashdelif and Ashdergar led 5000 troops from the camp in the northwest of the Yazhang and marched southeast. They went to the white-robed army."

"Do you want to go down and intercept them and persuade them to come back?"

Chu Luo Khan didn't raise his head, "No need, since they want to seek death, why should we stop them, just let them go, just to help us delay time."

……

In the grassland, two Turkic men with fierce faces, leading [-] cavalry, are marching southeast, and the goal is the camp of the White Robe Army.

The two are the younger brothers of Ashder Hongzhe, Ashdrif and Ashdergal.

Ashdegar said to Ashdelif: "Second brother, is the news that elder brother is still alive reliable?"

"Reliable." Ashdrif said coldly: "Columbine and elder brother are both in the camp of the White Robe Army, and have been tortured by Li Chengqian. We must rescue elder brother today."

Ashdergar echoed: "Chu Luo is such a coward, he still wants to be a great Khan and let us assist him. He has an army of tens of thousands and dare not fight against thousands of white-robed soldiers. What face is there to be a big man?" sweat."

Ashdrif snorted coldly: "He doesn't dare, we dare, my people have already found out the location of the white-robed army, we raided at night and wiped out the white-robed army. Khan's position."

"drive!"

After the two finished speaking, they galloped away to the southeast.

People in the city of Chang'an were panicked, Li Chengqian didn't know about the unpredictable situation in the court and the fear in the Turkic tent.

He never speculates on other people's thoughts. He firmly believes that in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are as fake and vulnerable.

Two days later...

Li Chengqian stood on the grassland, behind him was still the Shura battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field and blood flowed like rivers.

Su Dingfang came to him and reported: "Your Highness, this is the No. 30 Turkic tribe that we have exterminated. Now, a large number of Turkic tribes are migrating to the Turkic Yazhang, and there are not many Turkic tribes that are intercepted and killed by us halfway." Three tribes."

"We have basically wiped out all the tribes on the outskirts, and if we go deeper, they will become Turkic tooth tents."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Okay, let the brothers rest in place for two days, prepare dry food, and have a good rest. Two days later, we will flatten the Turkic lair and let them disappear forever in the long river of history, so as to comfort the spirits of the people who died in the Tang Dynasty." .”

Su Dingfang replied: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Urgent report... urgent report..."

At this moment, the people from the scout battalion suddenly rushed towards Li Chengqian.

Everyone gets out of the way.

"His Royal Highness, urgent report...Ashi Delifu and Ash Degar, leading [-] Turkic cavalry, are attacking and killing my white-robed army camp." The scouts ran in front of Li Chengqian, Arched.

"Oh." Li Chengqian said indifferently: "It's rare that there are such people in the Turkic army. I thought they would just hide in the tent."

The scout soldier continued: "Ashdelif and Ashdegar are the younger brothers of Ashder Hongzhe."

Cheng Huailiang sighed from the side: "It's no wonder."
