Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Li Shimin's eyes fell directly on the man's head, and so did the other ministers.

Li Shimin was definitely no stranger to what Liang Shidu and his brothers looked like. After taking a serious look, it was really them.

Not long after Li Yi'an and the others arrived in Shuofang, they had already defeated Liang Shidu, and they were able to send their heads to Chang'an. This is really a generous gift.

Lu Deming, who was accusing just now, also thought of this, his face flushed instantly, and he felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong again, and he was afraid that His Majesty would hold grudges in his heart.

"You get up."

In Li Shimin's voice, there was excitement that could not be concealed, and he asked again: "General Li asked you to bring this head back. Could it be that he led you to kill Liang Shidu?"

The two soldiers got up with relief, and one of them said first: "That's right, General Li led less than 200 of us to kill on Helan Mountain and took down the enemy's camp. The head of Liang Shidu was chopped off by General Li himself." .”

With less than 200 people, dare to enter the enemy's base camp?

It's crazy to do that too!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised how powerful Li Yi'an's leadership ability was, how confident he was in himself, and how courageous he was to dare to do this.

"Your Majesty, I think they are lying. Liang Shi has tens of thousands of people, and General Li has only 200 people. How do we fight?"

Yu Zhining questioned.

Another soldier hurriedly said: "No, the general still has a memorial for us to bring back. Your Majesty will know after reading it."

Li Shimin said again: "Present it first."

Guo Dong quickly sent the memorial to Li Shimin, opened it and looked at it carefully, and was immediately furious.

His anger, although he didn't explode directly, but the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall were all veterans, they saw the expressions in their eyes, and soon the whole hall became quiet again.

"Chai Shao, Xue Wanjun, you have done a good job! It's fine to disobey my will, but you dare to do such a thing, you really don't take me seriously!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "Come here, pass on my order and call them back immediately."

Seeing Li Shimin's angry expression, the other ministers knew that Chai and Shao were going to be in trouble, but they didn't know what was written in Li Yi'an's memorial, so they all looked over in doubt.

All the ministers who were ordered by Chai Shao to mess with Li Yi'an felt very guilty at the moment, thinking that they were tricked by Chai Shao.

"When the two of you come back from a long journey, I will definitely reward you a lot. I will definitely seek justice for the injustice suffered by your general."

Li Shimin said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two soldiers were grateful and bowed cautiously.

"Who was going to speak for Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun just now?"

Li Shimin glanced over.

Those people lowered their heads immediately.

"This is still my Tang Dynasty, not Chai Shao's. Don't think that I don't know about your relationship with Chai Shao. If it happens again, I will never forgive you lightly."

Li Shimin said again warningly.

They didn't dare to say anything, they were speechless.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.

Once these people encountered something related to their husband, they were even more excited than Yushitai. Even Wei Zheng, who was the most active in Yushitai, didn't say anything, and they wanted to pin all the problems on him.

Normally, Wei Zheng even dared to question Li Shimin, but as long as Li Yi'an was involved, he usually stood aside and watched them make trouble.

There is no other reason, but to believe in Li Yi'an.

-

Shuofang.

After Li Yi'an entered the city, he stayed there for a long time and never left. It was autumn, and the weather in the north of Shuofang was bleak.

Several groups of scouts went to investigate, but the Western Turks in the west had no other response, and the tribes on the border were as normal as before and had no intention of mobilizing troops.

Li Yi'an was instructed by Li Shimin to guard against the Western Turks before attacking the Eastern Turks.

There is no definite news from the Western Turks, and he is not in a hurry to leave Shuofang.

"Sir, when are we going to fight?"

Yuchi Baolin couldn't take it easy, after taking down Liang Shidu, they only trained troops in Shuofang City.

When they come out to fight, of course they want to fight and make military exploits.

"Yeah, if we don't fight, then the old thief Xieli will be killed by others."

Li Dejian said.

According to the historical events that Li Yi'an knew, it was Li Jing who finally captured Xieli.

He glanced at Li Dejian and said, "Don't worry, just wait a few more days and it will be almost done."

"You really don't have to worry, when did Mister lie to you?"

Su Lie came over and said.

"That's right, hurry up and train."

Cheng Chumo dragged them away.

"Sir, are you waiting for the Turks to come?"

Su Lie guessed what Li Yi'an was thinking.

"The Turkic people must come back. We took Shuofang and killed Liang Shidu. When Jieli Khan heard the news, he would send people to delay us. Otherwise, we will go north from the Hetao area, and there will be another group of surprise soldiers. General Li and the others invaded from Youzhou and other places, and multiple fronts went north at the same time, and the Turks are currently in civil strife, so they can't handle it."

Li Yi'an made a simple analysis and said: "If I were Xieli, I would use the fastest speed to contain the front line here. Otherwise, if we go deep into the Turkic interior, they will no longer be able to prevent us."

Su Lie agreed: "Sir, you are right, but you have to guard against the Western Turks."

Li Yi'an said: "According to the news from our scouts, there is no movement in Western Turks, but they seem to be in civil strife."

In the second year of Zhenguan, Mohe killed Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turks and called himself the Great Khan.

But the other tribes of Western Turks refused to accept it and elected a man named Niya to be Khan.

Ni Shu didn't want to take the throne, and finally welcomed Tong Yehu's son to succeed him, who was called Siyehu Khan.

Since last year, Si Yehu and Mo Hedu have been attacking each other, and the Western Turks have also been fighting endlessly.

Mohe Duo occupied the east side of the Western Turks, and Si Yehu occupied the west side, and they have been fighting non-stop until now.

"Although the Western Turks are in civil strife, they may not support Jieli Khan."

Su Lie also analyzed and said: "Currently in Western Turkic, Mohe from the east is very aggressive. In the past few months, he has basically suppressed Siyehu. But most of the people who support Siyehu are unified Ye Hu's former loyalists, they have the reputation of being orthodox, and they dared to fight Mo Heduo, so Mo Heduo can't do anything to Si Yehu now."

Li Yi'an asked: "Dingfang means that Mo Hedu will lend troops to Jieli?"

"That's right!"

Su Lie nodded and said: "Even though the Eastern and Western Turks are separated, they are still closely related. If we destroy the Eastern Turks, then the Western Turks must be terrified. This is one of them."

"The second point is that Mohe Duo is on the east side of the Western Turks. Jie Li can only ask Mo He Duo for support. On the contrary, Mo He Duo can also use this opportunity to borrow troops from Jie Li after helping Jie Li Khan. Go deal with Siyehu."

He continued: "Mohe Duo has a large army now, but he has been unable to defeat Siyehu. This time he will support Xieli in exchange for the next opportunity to borrow troops from Xieli to launch a full-scale attack on Siyehu. , Eliminate Siyehu in one fell swoop."
