Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The news that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was Li Ke, king of Han, was sent to Yinshan on the fifth day after Li Ke arrived in Dingxiang.After reading the letter, Jieli Khan couldn't help laughing and said, "Is there no one available for Li Shimin? Or is the Tang people too timid to come to the hinterland of my Yinshan Mountain? Surely they will send a 14-year-old child." After he finished speaking, He glanced deeply at Zhao Deyan next to him, "What do you think of this so-called King of Han, Li Shimin's son coming to Yinshan for peace talks?"

Zhao Deyan is a descendant of the Dingxiang family in the Tang Dynasty. After Xieli invaded Dingxiang, his tough attitude towards the Turks was favored by Xieli. In addition, he was quite talented, so he was reused by Xieli. He was Xieli's confidant adviser .At that time, the Turks did not have various systems, and it was difficult to unify government orders. The tribes were independent and their combat power was low.Jieli Khan adopted Zhao Deyan's suggestion and made great changes to the old Turkic customs, so that the government orders were unified, and the Turks suddenly became stronger.In particular, Zhao Deyan's suggestion to Xieli on strengthening the centralization of power deeply stimulated this ambitious Khan.And Zhao Deyan also strengthened Xieli's ruling power in Turkic by giving advice to Xieli, so that his status in Xieli's eyes was no less than that of Zhishisili and others.

"Li Ke, the king of Han, is the third son of Li Shimin. The people in Chang'an have rumors that Li Shimin thinks highly of this son, saying that he is 'like me', which means that Li Ke's character misses him very much. So, Da Khan, we You can't take him lightly just because he is young." Zhao Deyan thought for a moment, then said carefully.As the power in Xieli's hands became stronger and stronger, his temper became stronger and stronger, and even a confidant like Zhao Deyan depended on his expression when talking to him.

"Li Shimin is a difficult person to deal with, and Ben Khan has a deep understanding." Jieli said this, thinking of the scene of making an alliance with Li Shimin by the Wei River, he couldn't help sighing, "It was Ben Khan who missed an invasion of Chang'an back then. What a good time." When he said this, it seemed as if he was recalling the past, which made people think.

"So" he changed the subject, "For Li Shimin's son Li Ke, the king of Han, who can be praised so much, we can't take it lightly during the peace talks. You can arrange it. I will kill the prestige of the Tang people and let them see who is the real one in the world. overlord."

"Yes, Big Khan," Zhao Deyan replied with a bow, and carefully exited the king's tent.

Li Ke traveled quickly under the leadership of Dangtuo and Sutu. Seven days later, Xieli, the third person who received Dingxiang's letter, arrived at Yinshan.

The climate in Yinshan is obviously better than the places Li Ke has experienced along the way.And Li Ke couldn't help being surprised when he saw the Turkic cavalry running around.In such a cold weather, these soldiers still live their lives as before. Such a will and such a system are indeed not comparable to the soldiers of Datang.

Just when Li Ke was quietly dreaming about the Turkic cavalry, he suddenly heard Dang Tuo coldly saying, "I also want His Highness the King of Han to go to the tent to rest first, and after I report to the Great Khan, I will inform you to see the Great Khan. "

Dangtuo's words were extremely impolite, but Xieli's actions showed his arrogance and arrogance even more.As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke didn't even have anyone to greet him, and he was entrusted to arrange everything for him before he met Xieli.It was a great insult to him that he had to wait for Xieli's co-interpreter before he could meet him.

But Li Ke still smiled calmly, "Thank you for being Tuo Teqin."

"Hmph, no need, I'm just following Da Khan's orders." After Dangtuo finished speaking, he ignored Li Ke.Angrily, Chen Qi beside him was full of anger, holding his hand on the handle of his Tang Dao and staring at Dangtuo. When Li Ke gave an order, he chopped the arrogant Turkic man on the ground. Get off now.

After Dangtuo left, Li Ke glanced at Chen Qi beside him, "He who can bend and stretch is a real man. Look at your current appearance, you don't look like a commander in command of more than 800 people, you are simply a reckless man. "

"Your Highness, I finally realized my mistake." Chen Qi was very respectful to Li Ke.

"Hanwang Highness, please go to the side tent to rest first." At this time, Sutu had already prepared a tent for Li Ke, and came to welcome him, Di Zhixun and others to the station prepared for him.

Li Ke glanced at the location of our tent, and found that it was far away from Jieli's king's tent, and there were no Turkic soldiers guarding it at all.Apparently Xieli looked down on Tang people at all. He felt that the 800 people against him were not a threat to him.

And Li Ke was right, Xieli thought so.After he came to Yinshan, Jieli raised his eyes from the king's account, and he wanted to see what Li Ke, the king of Han who was praised by Li Shimin, looked like.He was startled when he saw Li Ke's appearance. From his point of view, Li Ke looked exactly like the Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

During the Sui Dynasty, both Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty carried out cruel suppression and merciless attacks on the Turks.Therefore, Xieli was very jealous of the Sui Dynasty, and also had a grudge against Yang Guang.At this moment, he saw Li Ke's sharp-edged and heroic face from afar, resembling Yang Guang's face, and he was obviously surprised.However, when he saw the guards behind Li Ke, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, "It's nothing more than that" because, let alone the strength of the guards around Li Ke, their outfits and equipment were all bad. together.The black clothes guards used the equipment that Li Ke had painstakingly built for them, black armor, Tang knife, hard bow, and long spear.And Qianniuwei's yellow armor, long spear, and strong bow.The personal guards are orange armor, long knives, and hard bows.For such uneven residuals, the 800-odd people mixed together naturally would not pay much attention to it.

Li Ke naturally didn't know that the powerful enemy he was about to face, Xieli, had already noticed him after he came to Yinshan.So, he was discussing peace talks with Jie Li with Di Zhixun in the tent.

"Xieli wants to snub us, the purpose is to make us take the initiative to seek peace talks with him, making us more passive during the peace talks. It is really clever to let him ask for prices." Li Ke sighed.

"What countermeasures does Your Highness have?" Di Zhixun asked thoughtfully.

Li Ke glanced at Di Zhixun, who was heavy on his chest, and said with a smile, "Tonghuai really wants to have a countermeasure for this, so you might as well talk about it."

"There must be a priority in peace talks. Since Jieli wants us to be passive, then we will be passive once and turn passive into active." Di Zhixun said, "Let the minister take the initiative to negotiate peace with Jieli, and His Highness will be passive. How are you?"

Li Ke smiled slightly, "Those who know me have the same heart."

Di Zhixun also laughed, "Isn't Your Highness thinking the same way?"

Li Ke glanced at Di Zhixun, and seeing that Di Zhixun was also looking at him, the two laughed in unison.

After chatting with Li Ke about the details of the peace talks, Di Zhixun hurried back to his tent, put on his court uniform, and headed for Jieli's tent under the guard of the eagle guards.He knows whether the peace talks can change from passive to active depends on his performance today.

Xieli was discussing with the leaders of Ashina about how much money he should pay for the peace talks with the Tang Dynasty, and everyone was arguing fiercely.Xieli's personal guards hurried into the big tent and reported loudly, "Khan, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is asking to see him outside the tent."

The guard's words attracted everyone's attention to him, and the big tent suddenly became quiet.

"Bring him in." After hearing this, Xie Li obviously paused for a moment, glanced at the people in the big tent, and said without thinking.

He didn't expect Li Ke to come to the door so quickly.He told Dangtuo to let them wait for his interview, in order to test the reality of the Tang people.Now it seems that his detection is superfluous, the people of Tang are really eager to redeem those people.Thinking of this, Jieli couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face.At this moment, he could even imagine how Li Shimin entrusted a lot of money to his Yinshan with horses.

Tuli, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Jieli, then pondered deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.The leaders of the various ministries in the big tent looked out of the tent curiously following the disappearance of their guards, wanting to see what kind of person this envoy of the peace talks was.
