bastard seizes tang

Chapter 16 Proton
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world has been in great chaos and civil wars have continued for more than ten years, resulting in the exhaustion of the sea and the unrest of the people's livelihood.But at this time, the Eastern Turks in the north took advantage of this opportunity to grow rapidly, and the Khitan, Shiwei, Tuyuhun and other clans all fell under his command, and they controlled millions of people.

The Turkic Khan Jieli was originally an ambitious person. Seeing the civil strife in Zhongzhou, he wanted to be the second Emperor Tuoba Daowu, the lord of the Central Plains.

Now that Li Shimin ascended the throne at the beginning, the hearts of the people are not stable, which gave Jieli an excellent opportunity, so Jieli took advantage of the time when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, and joined forces with his nephew Khan Tuli to lead 20 troops to the south. Pointing directly at Chang'an.

Outside Chang'an City, thirty west suburbs, Weishui River.

Xieli is now over forty years old, but in his past years, he has never been as happy as he is today, even the day when he was established as Turkic Khan.

Eleven years ago, he went south to Yanmen County with his elder brother Shibi Khan, where soldiers surrounded Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and forced Emperor Yang Guanggu of Sui Dynasty to defend himself.Had it not been for the emergency in the north of the Turks, and the reinforcements from Luoyang and other counties had also rushed to Xinkou, Emperor Sui Yang would have become a prisoner of the Turks.

The majesty and majesty of Khan on that day is still vivid in his memory. In the past years, he often yearned for it, hoping that he would have such a day.

But the current Xieli no longer envies the Shibi of the past, because now he is not in the northern border of Yanmen, but the real heart of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, the capital of the capital.

Invading Guanzhong and encircling Chang'an with soldiers, this was a feat that the wooden Khan Ashina Qijin, who was known as the king of the grassland, had never achieved when he expanded the land for thousands of miles.

It can be expected that once Jieli defeated the Tang army today and occupied Guanzhong, he would become the most famous khan in the entire Turkic history.

And all this didn't seem so difficult to him, as long as he led his 20 invincible Qingqi across the Wei River and broke through the legendary Chang'an City, he would be able to realize his ideal.

is it hard?not difficult!
On the north bank of the Weishui River, 20 soldiers with banners fluttering for tens of miles are his confidence.

Jie Li held up the saber in his hand and was about to swing forward to order his warriors to cross the river to fight. Several figures appeared on the opposite side of the Wei River, and Li Shimin arrived.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin appeared in front of Xieli across the wide Wei River with Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu and other civil servants who were not good at martial arts.

"I am Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, may Jieli Khan come out to answer?" Li Shimin shouted as soon as he reached the Wei River, pointing at the Turkic army on the opposite side.

Not as weak as Xieli imagined, and without the slightest feeling of inferiority, Li Shimin's attitude seemed to be asking questions, which was beyond Xieli's expectations.

"I am the Turkic Khan Jieli. Today I personally lead a large army here, and the city of Chang'an is about to be broken, so why don't you come down soon!" Jieli rode out on his horse and shouted proudly.

"In the five years of Wude, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks once formed an alliance in Bingzhou to prevent each other from aggressing each other. Why do you lead the army into our Guanzhong today!" Li Shimin's momentum was not weak at all, but he was the first to criticize Xieli.

Jieli laughed loudly and said: "The rich land in Guanzhong should be occupied by the strong. Now we have a Turkic army of one million, which is unparalleled in the world. Naturally, this Guanzhong should also belong to our Turks."

After Xieli finished speaking, the Turkic soldiers on the north bank of the Weishui River also shouted and shouted wildly, as if Chang'an was already in their pocket.

Li Shimin did not answer, but answered him with practical actions.

Li Shimin raised his hand and waved lightly, and suddenly there were deafening footsteps on the south bank of the Weishui River, which sounded like thunder when heard across the river.

"Boom, boom, boom"

As the footsteps became more and more dense, tens of thousands of Tang troops appeared behind Li Shimin, and Yu Chigong, Qin Shubao, Li Jing and others who were the most famous in the Tang army were leading the troops, ready to go.

Jieli on the north bank of the Weishui River looked at the Tang Jun in brightly armored armor all over the mountains on the other bank, and his heart trembled suddenly.

These Tang troops were purged in military appearance and banned by order. They were obviously the elite of Guanzhong of Datang.

Jieli only said that Li Shimin had not been on the throne for a long time, and he must have been unstable and hard to convince the public, but he didn't know the real details of Tang Jun.

Li Shimin has fought for many years, his military strategy is excellent, and there are few opponents in the world today.Xieli was deceived by Li Shimin's tricks, how could he know that the [-] forbidden troops in front of him were almost the main force of the Tang army.

Jieli looked at Tang Jun, who was strong and strong, and couldn't help beating his heart.

Li Shimin and Xieli were separated by the Wei River, so Li Shimin couldn't see Xieli's face clearly, but the saber that Xieli used to command the battle had already been retracted into its sheath, which was enough to show that Xieli's attitude had begun to waver.

Li Shimin seized the opportunity and said at the right time: "The Turks are going to fight, even if our Tang Dynasty fights to the end, we will definitely accompany them to the end. However, in this battle together, there will be countless casualties between the two sides. Is this the result that Khan really wanted? "

If Li Shimin defended the city by himself, or if he showed a little fear, Jieli might really order the army to cross the river, but if Li Shimin showed confidence, Jieli would have no end.

It is true that Li Shimin could not afford to fight this battle. Once the Tang Dynasty and the Turks fought, regardless of the outcome, Guanzhong, which the Tang Dynasty relied on as its foundation, would be exposed to the iron heels of 20 Turks, and the originally prosperous Gyeonggi would be in ruins. The people in Guanzhong will also suffer from the war. Even if they win, it will take at least 20 years for Datang Guanzhong to recover.

But Jieli can't afford to fight this battle. Unless Jieli is absolutely sure that he can wipe out the Tang army within ten days and win the entire Guanzhong, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of King Qin's army in Longyou, Taiyuan, Luoyang and other places in the Tang Dynasty will be defeated. Come to think of it, it would be difficult for Xieli to get out of the sky.

Moreover, the Turks seem to be united at the moment, but in fact they have their own ghosts. The little Turkic Khan Tuli has long been eyeing the position of Khan.Once Xieli is trapped in Guanzhong, who can guarantee that the situation in the grassland will remain stable without a master, and is the supreme Khan still his?
Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Tang Dynasty came from countless battles, and all the imperial guards in Guanzhong were old soldiers who had experienced many battles. Jieli looked at the Tang army on the other side, and felt that he was not sure of victory.

Jieli turned his head and asked a man in his thirties with a pale face behind him, "I'm afraid the Tang army has already prepared for today's battle. Does Mr. Zhao have a good strategy?"

The Mr. Zhao that Xieli spoke of was Zhao Deyan, his confidant and think tank.

Zhao Deyan was originally a Han. He entered the Turkic Empire at the end of the Sui Dynasty and was used by Jieli to divide the various tribes in the grassland.

Turkic pashas are similar to the servants of the Tang Dynasty. Jieli did not set up the post of Yehu, so although the pasha did not have the name of a prime minister, he was actually a prime minister.

Zhao Deyan thought for a moment, then said to Jieli: "Looking at the appearance of the Emperor Tang today, it may not be easy to take Chang'an lightly. The Great Khan can first negotiate peace with the Emperor Tang, and then use the opportunity of the peace talk to test the strength of the Tang army."

Jieli frowned, and said: "If I agree to the peace talks before all the troops, wouldn't it be necessary to have peace talks? I can't let Ben Khan lose his promise in front of all the troops, so how will Ben Khan command the army in the future?" Turkic ministries."

Zhao Deyan replied: "It's just an agreement first. The Great Khan can add another item to the conditions of the peace talks, and it can be changed as appropriate at that time."

"Which one?" Jieli asked anxiously after hearing the words.

Zhao Deyan stroked his short beard lightly, and slowly uttered two words: "Proton."
