Li Jiancheng was about to ask for orders to go out, but Feng Lun persuaded him privately not to take on this hard task. The Turkic soldiers were tigers and wolves, and it would be difficult to defend them just by holding the city. If they were to attack head-on, the Tang army would immediately attack them. rout. After the last battle, Li Jiancheng was already frightened. After being reprimanded by Li Yuan, he no longer had any ambitions. He only wanted to not seek merit but seek no faults, and just be his own prince peacefully. He only waited for Li Yuan to do something. When he was about to die, maybe the throne would rest on him safely. Feng Lun's proposal just catered to his mentality at this time. When Li Yuan summoned officials for discussion, he said he was ill and could not go to court. Only two people in the palace, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, requested the order to go out. Looking at all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, only the Tiance Mansion had a very powerful army. Li Yuan felt both proud and sad. He was proud that having a son like this could protect the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, but sad that Li Jiancheng, the eldest son, was so impressive to him. disappointment. If Li Shimin comes back victorious from this expedition, I am afraid that the matter of establishing a new crown prince will have to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, if the emperor is weak and the minister is strong, the two brothers will have to fight to the death. With a secret sigh in his heart, he ordered Li Shimin to be the Grand Marshal of the Conqueror and lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Turks. ¡ The two armies took up positions on both sides of the Wei River. Zhen Mingku ordered people to build high sand castle towers and stand still. No matter how the Turkic soldiers called for war, they did not respond. When night fell, he took Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others. Equipped with the best equipment of the secret guards, he crossed the Wei River at night and sneaked into the Turkic army camp. Such a combination. If it were a head-on conflict, it would be enough to kill a thousand elites. That night, they sneaked into the military camp of the Turkic army and captured the Turkic Khan alive. "Little Khan, long time no see." Tuli Khan was escorted to Zhen Mingku's side. Cheng Yaojin kicked him in the crook of the leg, knocking him to his knees. Staring at Zhen Mingku with angry eyes. "Who are you?" After not seeing each other for many years, he no longer recognized Zhen Mingku, but he spoke Chinese much more fluently. There was fear in his voice towards these highly skilled Han Chinese. There were hundreds of Turkic warriors in the tent, but they could not stop a dozen of them. This was something he had never encountered before in his many years of fighting. Zhen Mingku stood up from his Khan's throne. Walk up to him. Untie the rope for him with your own hands and help him up. Having dealt with Turkic soldiers for many years, he is very clear about the habits of these Turks. He will only be convinced by those who have suppressed them with force. This time he used the most direct method of force to leave a Han in the heart of the other party. They were so weak as they thought and had no ability to fight back. Zhen Mingku took off the mask and revealed his true face. Tu Li was stunned for a moment. His expression became extremely colorful, as if he was searching hard. "You are" Then, he jumped up suddenly, "Brother Zhen!" Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and nodded: "Little Khan has a good memory. We haven't seen each other for many years. I thought that little Khan had given me, my brother, a long time ago. "Forgot." "Turks will never forget their brothers!" Tu Li frowned, "Brother Zhen, what do you mean? Why did you bring people into my wedding?" , I specially sent someone to give you three bloody horses. Two years ago, you sent someone to deliver a letter to my account, asking me to take care of your Queen Xiao. I have always treated you as a brother and treated you with courtesy. , and now you treat me like this, do you think of me as a brother?" He cursed angrily, which made Li Jing and others stunned. Who knew that this Turkic Khan and Zhen Mingku had such a relationship. Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and hugged Tu Li's shoulders, "Little Khan, calm down, if I don't treat you as a brother, I won't show up tonight." Tu Li thought about it for a while, still a little confused, "Then you take these people with you "Why are you here?" "I want to discuss something with the little Khan." "You brought these people here to discuss things?" "Khan's Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds, and his expressions are very good." A hint of pride. Zhen Mingku's voice changed, "I want to remind Khan one thing. This is your military camp, surrounded by thousands of troops and horses. We are only a dozen people. If this doesn't show that I care about the little Khan." Sincerely, I really don¡¯t know how to meet you, Little Khan. What¡¯s more, now the Little Khan¡¯s army is pressing down on the territory and disturbing my territory. No matter how strong my friendship with Little Khan is, in the face of the interests of our clan, "It's insignificant." Tu Li pointed at the powerful generals beside Zhen Mingku and complained: "Look at them, who are they?"?Not one person is worth ten, but you still have the nerve to say it to only a dozen people! " He looked angry, "I only heard that Li Tang killed you, so I led the army to attack Li Tang. It would be better for you to suddenly appear in front of me, and you are not the one scolding me! " Zhen Ming poured him a glass of kumiss with a wry smile, as if he was the master, "Little Khan, calm down, didn't I come here to discuss with you? If not, the army would have done it directly. It's really Everything happens for a reason, please listen to the brother slowly, come on, let me introduce it to you first" After the introductions were completed one by one, Tuli looked at these strong and powerful men with envy, sighing Said: "If any of these men joins my Turks, I will immediately deal with that bastard Chuluo!" " Zhen Mingku smiled slightly: "The little Khan really made a mistake. Before the internal conflicts of the Turks were resolved, he dared to go south in full force. Aren't you afraid that Chu Luo would take advantage of the emptiness in your city and launch a sneak attack? " Tu Li was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that leading the army out this time was indeed a risk. Zhen Mingku saw that his expression had changed, and knew that he had spoken to his worries, so he took advantage of the heat and said: "Little Khan If necessary, after I have pacified the Central Plains, I will immediately lead my army to support the young Khan and help you pacify the Turks. At that time, you and I will sign an agreement that we shall not commit aggression against each other during our lifetimes. If the young Khan violates the agreement, Don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood. " Tuli was silent for a moment, then slammed the table, "Brother Zhen, I believe you. Originally, I led the army south this time to avenge you and take some property back. Now that you are guarding Chang'an Town, our Turkic Army also If I can't get any advantage, I'll sign this agreement with you! " Zhen Mingku laughed loudly: "Khan's move not only saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but also opened up a future for the friendship between the two countries. As for what will happen after we die, it is beyond our control. As long as you and I are alive, we will be committed to friendly exchanges between the two countries. Tonight's Weishui Alliance is an agreement between you and me. I hope that in my lifetime, this will also be a testimony of the brotherhood between you and me. " Tuli has been shocked by these people since he saw Zhen Mingku and the methods of his group of highly skilled secret guards. The little luck he had in his heart has also disappeared. He wishes he could follow him. A non-aggression agreement was signed, and a jump was drawn up immediately. After signing and signing, Zhen Mingku immediately had people prepare a banquet to entertain Zhen Mingku and others. Zhen Mingku was not afraid that he would poison the food and wine, and secretly tested the ingredients with his mobile phone. , drank some symbolically, but Tu Li felt that he was not a brother enough and was on guard against him, so he could not refuse in every possible way, so he had to secretly wink to Li Jing and others, asking them to stay on guard, while he let go. He had a big drink with Tu Li until he vomited, and Tu Li was satisfied that he was sincere enough. The banquet continued until early in the morning, and Li Jing and others returned with Zhen Mingku, who was drunk and unconscious. On the other side of the river, Tu Li led his army to retreat the next day, and the siege of Chang'an was resolved overnight News of King Qin's triumphant return reached the palace, and Li Yuan immediately called for Queen Dou and told Queen Dou about the establishment of a new crown prince. Queen Dou had always disagreed with Li Yuan deposing the crown prince, but now she had to agree. In the prince's house, Li Jiancheng learned from the informant who had been lurking in the Queen Mother's palace that Li Yuan wanted to dethrone the crown prince. He was panicked and anxious. Wei Zheng was summoned, and Feng Lun and others came to discuss. Wei Zheng wanted to strike first to gain advantage, and pretended to invite Li Shimin to the prince's palace in the name of celebrating King Qin's triumphant expedition. Although Li Shimin might suspect his intention, he could not refuse his brother's offer. After Li Shimin goes to the invitation, he can take the opportunity to poison the banquet. This poison does not require Li Shimin's life, it only needs to poison him into a disabled person. For the sake of the Li family, Li Yuan will definitely not consider Li Shimin's weak body again. Li Shimin was the crown prince. Li Jiancheng was a little hesitant. Feng Lun listened silently. Li Jiancheng asked him for his opinion. But the weight was only slight, so that it would not be fatal to Li Shimin After Zhen Mingku returned to Chang'an City, he secretly received a secret letter from Feng Lun and learned about Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng's conspiracy. Within two days, Li Jiancheng sent him. The man came to invite him to the mansion for a talk. He took Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin to meet him at the prince's mansion. Li Jiancheng behaved extremely modestly and spoke very affectionately to him. At the banquet, he personally poured wine for him. If he hadn¡¯t received the news in advance and he was not really Li Shimin, he might have been deceived by his hometown and pretended to drink Li Jiancheng¡¯s toast. The wine was secretly dissolved with the antidote that had been held in the mouth the whole morning to neutralize the poison.Wu Shicheng talked with Li Jiancheng about his future plans, saying that after the disputes in the world were gradually resolved, the military power of Tiance Mansion would be returned to Li Yuan. "Shimin heard that someone has been making trouble in front of my eldest brother recently, saying that Shimin is coveting the throne. I really don't need to listen to these rumors. Shimin is dedicated to conquering the world for the Li family, not to compete with my eldest brother for the throne. My father and mother have long been with me. It is said that elders and younger ones should be in order, and ethics should not be abolished. Since ancient times, dynasties that abolished the elders and established younger ones would not exceed the second generation. In the distant past, Emperor Qin Shihuang deposed the crown prince and Fu Su II died. Recently, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established Yang Guang instead of the crown prince Yang Yong. In the Great Sui Dynasty, The kingdom has only lasted for thirty years, so how dare the father and mother to be careless about this? In the hearts of the people, the eldest brother has always been the heir to the throne, and they will never dare to covet him in the slightest. If he makes false claims, the people of the world will be struck by thunder. Boom, I will never be reincarnated!" (To be continued)
