The army led by Li Shimin traveled slowly because the Turkic prisoners were in custody, but after all, it was only a short distance from Quzhou County, so even though it was slow, it still arrived in Quzhou County.
Previously, Li Jiancheng's commendation order had been issued.
There is also wine and meat.
Li Shimin didn't care about these at all. He was very clear about the relationship between himself and Li Jiancheng, which means that the meritorious service in this battle was so great that Li Jiancheng couldn't suppress it, so he had no choice but to issue a commendation order.
Li Shimin's army arrived outside the county seat of Quzhou County, and 40,000 elite troops formed a formation. But for the time being, Li Shimin has not attacked yet, because the situation in Quzhou County is not very clear yet.
There is no need to rush to attack a city.
Test the situation first.
Li Shimin stood up on his horse, looked up at the tower, and shouted: "Where is Liu Heita?"
"My king is here!"
Liu Heita was dressed in armor, with his hands propped on the city wall, his face was solemn, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes. Today, he wants to constantly weaken Li Shimin's face and make Li Shimin lose face.
Liu Heikai said: "Li Shimin, I have been waiting for you here in Quzhou County for a long time. You just came now. The speed of this march is really slow enough. It is rumored that Li Shimin is very powerful in commanding troops, and he is the one who marches and fights. Master. But you are rushing this battle, but you are so slow, it is very disappointing!"
Liu Heita was born as a warrior.
The shouting is full of air.
Especially when he yelled on the tower, his voice was clearly heard outside the city, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could hear Liu Heita's yelling.
Li Shimin heard it in his ears, with a smile on his lips, picked up the trumpet in his hand, and shouted: "It is rumored that Liu Heizai is good at fighting and is a brave general. Hearing what you said today, I was very disappointed."
"why?"
"Because you haven't even seen the strategy of the king."
"If this king marches quickly, he will arrive in Quzhou County within a day or two. Then, can he still ambush the Turkic cavalry at Luoyuepo? Can the mighty Turkic cavalry escape in embarrassment?"
Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "The reason why this king did this is to count the 8,000 Turkic cavalry led by Zhishenli. Don't you, Liu Heita, know the results of the battle today? Eight thousand Turkic cavalry, only a thousand The rest of the Turks became captives of this king. This is the reason why this king was on his way.¡±
Wow! !
Many soldiers stationed on the tower were talking about it, and each of them had incredible expressions on their faces.
Li Shimin actually defeated the Turks.
You must know that the Turkic cavalry has always been arrogant and cannot be provoked. Unexpectedly, these people fell into Li Shimin's ears.
This news was not a secret to Liu Heita and others, but the soldiers in the army did not know it. Now that Li Shimin said it, under Liu Heitai's command, it had a certain influence.
Liu Heita glanced around and heard the soldiers' discussions.
He thought to himself that Li Shimin was amazing.
In a few words, he fought back.
It even affected the morale of his troops.
However, Liu Heikai is not a person who admits cowardice. He has sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Li Shimin, even if you capture the Turkic cavalry, so what. In my hands, there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tang army captured. You Tang army leader Xue Wanche, Leading more than 30,000 elites to pursue, they fled. Alas, the Tang army is nothing more than that."
Li Shimin said: "You defeated Xue Wanche, you, Liu Heita, are indeed powerful. But no matter how powerful you are, the city in Mingshui County was destroyed and you fled in a hurry. If I were to pursue you, Liu Heita was at Sanjiangkou, It must be buried here."
Liu Heita's cheeks twitched.
He did defeat the Tang Army led by Xue Wanche.
The problem is that Xue Wanche can't represent Li Shimin, especially Li Shimin also broke the Mingshui County guarded by Liu Heita.
This became his dark history.
Liu Heita gritted his teeth, and said sharply, "Li Shimin, don't be crazy."
Li Shimin smiled indifferently, and said: "Why am I so rampant? It is obvious that you, Liu Heitai, are so rampant. This king just refuted it. Why did you suddenly become this king's rampant? Oh, Liu Heitai, you It¡¯s too difficult to deal with.¡±
Li Shimin's subordinates suddenly burst into laughter.
Each soldier laughed.
They all mocked Liu Heita for his poor speech.
Liu Heita gritted his teeth with hatred, he never expected that he would be ridiculed in such a way during his conversation with Li Shimin. his innerMy heart was even more angry, so I stopped talking nonsense with Li Shimin.
Liu Heikai said: "Li Shimin, I have more than 15,000 prisoners in my hands. Now, you release all the Turkic soldiers and horses immediately. Otherwise, I will kill all the captured Tang soldiers."
Speaking of this, Liu Heita paused for a moment, and continued: "Li Shimin, the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty are all detained in the city. They can hear my king's shouting and your Li Shimin's words. Think it through."
This is to persecute Li Shimin.
Once Li Shimin refuses to rescue the captured soldiers, whether it is the captured soldiers of the Tang army in the city will be angry, or even the soldiers under Li Shimin's command outside the city will have ideas.
The reason is very simple. Li Shimin's soldiers outside the city knew that Li Shimin did not rescue the captured prisoners, so they might think about what to do if they failed and became prisoners.
Who can they rely on?
Li Shimin's mind turned quickly when he heard the words. It is impossible for him to release all the Turkic cavalry directly. Release people now, and if Liu Heita does not release people, everything he has done will be in vain.
This is the least cost-effective.
Li Shimin's mind was quick, and he immediately had a countermeasure, and said: "Liu Heita, just listen. The soldiers of my Tang Dynasty, whether they are soldiers under the king's command or soldiers belonging to Xue Wanche who were captured by you, are all great soldiers. General Tang."
"As long as I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, this king will not abandon me."
"Since you want to exchange for Turkic cavalry, this king has allowed you. Now, you immediately release all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and let them leave the city. As long as they leave the city, this king will release the captured Turkic cavalry."
Li Shimin said: "This is the promise of the king. As long as you fulfill it, the king will fulfill the promise. But according to what you said, it is impossible for me to release the Turkic cavalry because you have prisoners. The king has fulfilled his promise, but you have torn it up, when the time comes, this king will find someone to reason with."
Liu Heikai said: "Li Shimin, this king still has this reputation. You should release the Turkic cavalry immediately. After releasing everyone and the horses, this king will release the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
"There is absolutely no such possibility!"
Li Shimin directly refused.
It is impossible for him to pin all his hopes on Liu Heita. At this point now, all the captives must be exchanged, otherwise the morale of the army will definitely be affected.
So Li Shimin has no choice.
Only people can be exchanged.
However, Li Shimin could not allow Liu Heita to make a condition to release the captured Turkic cavalry, which was also a fair exchange between the two sides and the release of the captives.
Liu Heita gritted his teeth and said, "Li Shimin, this king gave you a chance, but you didn't obey. If you don't care about the lives of Tang soldiers, then this king will kill you."
Li Shimin said: "Liu Heita, this king has already said that the exchange must be fair. This king will not give up any captured Datang soldier, nor will he be at your mercy."
Liu Heikai rolled his eyes and said, "Li Shimin, if you want to release the prisoners at the same time, that's fine. But this time you ambushed the Turkic army on Luoyuepo and caused great losses. In addition to releasing the Turkic cavalry and horses, you also If you have to give a thousand horses as compensation, then this king agrees to release them at the same time."
He gave the final conditions.
After Liu Heitai finished speaking, he was already looking forward to Li Shimin, with a look of expectation in his eyes. Once Li Shimin agrees to the conditions, for him, Li Shimin's influence will be weakened. Even in this round, he overwhelmed Li Shimin. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
