A month later, the Turkic diplomatic mission would arrive in Luoyang to discuss peace negotiations.
Decades ago, Tang Taizong had personally betrothed the Turks to a Turkic Khan, so the two sides had maintained a long period of peace. The princess had even given birth to two sons in the Turks, Ji Li and Shi Bi.
But ten-some years ago, the previous Turkic Khan had suddenly died of illness, and the twenty-five-year-old Jili Khan had hastily succeeded to the throne. At this time, the prince of the Duolu tribe, Modu, had taken the opportunity to launch an attack, wanting to seize the position of Khan, but because the most elite Tiger Division of the Turks had pledged their loyalty to Jili Khan, Modu had failed.
But during these ten-some years, Modu had not taken Jili Khan seriously. He had constantly sent his five Eagle Regiment and sixteen Leopard Regiment to the Great Tang's borders, killing and pillaging. As a result, ten-some years of war had broken out at the border.
At this moment, after being Khan for more than ten years, Jili finally decided to end the war. Therefore, he used the Tiger Division to suppress the army of the five tribes of Duh Lu, so that he could successfully negotiate peace.
And now, the Turkic diplomatic mission had also entered the Great Zhou Empire. The person who had come this time was Khan Jili's younger brother, and the escort captain was Li Yuanfang. This Li Yuanfang, who had come from Liangzhou and could speak Turkic, was responsible for the safety of the diplomatic mission.
At this moment, everyone in the Great Zhou was very happy that the Turks could negotiate. After all, this war had lasted for more than ten years, and the Great Zhou's national strength had declined significantly.
As the Turks were cavalry, they emphasized the policy of retreating when the enemy advanced and advancing when the enemy retreated. The quality of the Great Zhou cavalry was inferior to the Turks, so they were particularly passive when fighting.
In the second Chongzhou case, Di Renjie had said that once the Turks were involved in the war, it would inevitably lead to an all-out war in the north. This was because if the Turks '400,000 cavalry fought guerrilla warfare with the Great Zhou, it would definitely make the Great Zhou extremely depressed. At that time, with the Khitans in front and the Turks behind, the Great Zhou's world would be worrisome!
And the future He Lu had stupidly given up on this advantage. He had not continued to use this policy of retreating while the enemy advanced, relying on cavalry to destroy the Great Zhou infantry. Instead, he had engaged in infantry combat with the Great Zhou, gathering three tiger divisions, five eagle divisions, and sixteen leopard divisions, all of the Turkic elites of about 450,000 men, to attack Dunhuang. The result was that he had given up the greatest advantage of the Turks, exposing the siege that the Turks were least skilled at. Moreover, the 150,000 elite Tiger Division soldiers of the Turks were not convinced by He Lu and did not listen to him much. They had even reached a truce with the Great Zhou army, and the siege weapons of the Turks were extremely crude. In the end, they could not take down the city, and He Lu's army could neither advance nor retreat. There was nothing they could do.
When Wu Zetian's main force arrived, He Lu didn't receive a message from Nanshan. Without knowing anything, the three main forces combined with Wang Xiaojie's 600,000 men wiped out his Turkic army.
It could be said that after Di Renjie's fourth division, the main force of the Turks had been completely wiped out by the Great Zhou. The Turks were completely finished. After all, they had lost four hundred thousand strong men, including their most elite Tiger Division. The Turks would never recover, and it would take twenty to thirty years.
It could be said that Helu had single-handedly caused the destruction of the Turks, while the Great Zhou had dealt with their greatest enemy in one fell swoop. Thus, the death of Jili Khan was an extremely good thing for the Great Zhou. In the future, after Bahanna took over the Turks, the Turks would probably truly become a subordinate of the Great Zhou.
" The Turkic diplomatic mission…" At this moment, in Wu Zetian's Longevity Palace, a few palace maids dressed in tight-fitting clothes were giving Su Xingyu a massage. Su Xingyu was reading the news that the Turkic diplomatic mission was about to enter the capital.
Ever since Princess Taiping had a relationship with him, she was infatuated with Su Xingyu's strength and completely submitted to him. Wu Zetian soon found out that her daughter and Su Xingyu were together, but she did not care about it. She even waited for Su Xingyu with her daughter, which made him feel very good.
" Hehe…It looks like the snake spirit is about to appear…Interesting…" Su Xingyu laughed and thought," This case was originally solved by Di Renjie, but now that I'm here, do I still need Di Renjie?" Let that guy continue to be the county magistrate of Pengze…As for Li Yuanfang…Hehehe, don't worry about this idiot…Let him destroy himself…"
At this moment, Su Xingyu thought of Jin Mulan, who was also the Princess of Yiyang, Li Qingxia. This beauty was not bad and had a good figure. It would be great if he could get her too, hahahaha…
Su Xingyu also knew about Liu Jin's matter, but he couldn't be bothered with him. If he was rescued, then so be it. I don't care…
Ten days later, the Turkic diplomatic mission entered Luoyang. On the second night, the earthen kiln was breached, Liu Jin was rescued, and Princess Yiyang, Li Qingxia, and Liu Jin, as well as the Ruo regiment, disappeared…
"Useless, truly useless!" At this moment, Wu Zetian angrily scolded General Xiong," Did the hundred people of the diplomatic mission fly into the sky? After chasing for an entire night with the palace guards, they actually found nothing. What's the use of raising trash like you?!”
" Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm guilty... guilty..." General Xiong was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he kept kowtowing.
Zhang Jianzhi advised from the side," Your Majesty, please calm down. General Xiong is not to be blamed for this matter. This group of rebels had a tight plan in advance. After they left the city, they must have split up and fled in batches. How could General Xiong find them in such a hurry?"”
"Hmph, then what do you think we should do now?”Wu Zetian angrily looked at Zhang Jianzhi,"Now that the diplomatic mission and princess are missing, how can we explain to the Turks?" How would the peace between the two countries be maintained?”
" This... in my opinion..." Zhang Jianzhi was about to say that he wanted to send a minister to investigate the case and recommend Di Renjie, but at this time, a eunuch ran in from outside.
" Your Majesty, King One Character Side by Side is outside the hall and wants to see Your Majesty..." the eunuch said.
"Oh? "Call him in…" Wu Zetian said.
Soon, Su Xingyu entered. After bowing, Su Xingyu said,"Your Majesty, this subject has already heard of the case of the Turkic diplomatic mission and is now requesting Your Majesty to allow this subject to investigate the case. This subject guarantees that the case will be solved within three months!”
"Oh? You want to investigate a case?" Wu Zetian and the ministers were stunned.
"That's right. I have full confidence that I can get to the bottom of this case!" Su Xingyu nodded.”
Needless to say, Su Xingyu had accepted this mission, and Wu Zetian had naturally agreed to it. Then, Di Renjie had nothing to do with it.
(Qun No.: Liu Lingqi, Wu Jiuyi, and Umbrella Spirit Wine. I'm seriously short of money, so I'm asking for tickets, flowers, and gifts. Your support is my motivation. Please, thank you. As long as you're loyal, I won't TJ you.)
