While everyone was rejoicing, Xiao Rui said in annoyance,""F * ck, I actually missed!"
Li Shiming patted Xiao Rui's shoulder and said with a face full of joy,"It's already very good. I didn't expect that not only are you quick-witted, but you also have great strength. Your archery skills are also extremely superb. Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, how do you think this one should reward you?”
Zhangsun Wuji immediately said,"Your Majesty, I think it's necessary to confer a title of nobility."”
"Young Master Xiao is a fierce general on the battlefield. It would be a waste of his talent if he doesn't lead the army into battle." Dugu Yanyun said.”
Fang Xuanling retorted,"Young Master Xiao is extremely intelligent and has many strange plans. He can only play his greatest role in the court by serving the people."”
"Noble title…Noble title…"
"Leading troops is the right path."
"Being an official is the perfect choice."
Zhangsun Wuji and the other two quarreled. In the end, they even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go all out. No one was willing to submit to the other.
Xiao Rui laughed in his heart. He didn't expect that the famous prime ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty in history were actually such cute people.
But didn't you guys grasp the main point? Jie Li is still here? Don't go astray, okay?
With you guys acting like this, where will Jie Li put his face? Doesn't he care about his face?
Li Shimin looked helpless and pretended to be angry,"Nonsense. You are a dignified official of the court. How can you be so noisy and ignore etiquette? As for the matter of Xiao Rui's reward, we'll discuss it in Taiji Palace after Jie Li retreats.”
……
Xiao Rui and Li Shimin were quarreling, but Jie Li was covered in gloomy clouds.
Jie Li's left arm was shot, fresh blood flowed out, it was extremely terrifying.
"Where's the imperial physician? Hurry up and bandage up Dahan's wound.”
"Great Khan, are you alright?"
"Great Khan, what should we do now?”
Although Jie Li was a formidable person, but this kind of danger that almost killed him still made his expression a little flustered.
He tried to calm down for a long time before he said indifferently,"I didn't expect that the Tang army would have such a powerful god who could shoot me from a thousand steps away.”
"Great Khan, he's about two thousand steps away from us…" Tuli whispered.
Jie coughed and immediately shut his mouth. After a long time, he came back to his senses."Generals, what do you think we should do?”
Tuli and the others looked at each other. Finally, Tuli stood up and said,"Great Khan, now that Zhishi Sili has been detained, the Tang army is constantly receiving reinforcements, and you are not feeling well, I'm afraid that without you, the morale of our soldiers will be affected.”
"I think so too."
Qi Bi He Li quickly expressed his stance.
"We feel that the Tuli Second Khan's words make sense.”
The other generals agreed.
Jie Li was still unwilling, he frowned and said,""If we retreat, wouldn't we have come for nothing? We have to get some benefits! No, I'll ask Li Shiming to extort something from me.”
Xiao Rui saw Jie Li injured and not retreat, but walked forward and felt very surprised. He wanted to let him have a taste of his power.
Li Shimin quickly pulled Xiao Rui and rode out,"Is the person opposite Jie Li? You're carrying the alliance agreement from ten years ago and have repeatedly violated our Great Tang. Do you know your sins?”
Jie Li pretended to be calm." The strong prey on the weak. This is human nature. The Tang Dynasty is weak. It is normal for us to attack them." I know you want me to retreat. I can retreat, but I have one condition.”
"Tell me."
Jie Li said,"Release my messenger, Zhi Shi Si Li, and use all the treasures in Chang 'an's treasury. Otherwise, just wait for Chang' an to fall."”
Li Shiming was silent for a long time after hearing this. Zhangsun Wuji and the others were also thinking hard.
In the end, Fang Xuanling stood up and said," Your Majesty, although agreeing to it will damage the country's reputation, we can use this opportunity to slowly raise treasures. We can try our best to delay the reinforcements of General Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie. In this way, the siege of Chang 'an will be lifted."”
Gao Shilian, Empress Zhangsun's uncle, also stepped forward and said,""In the past, the King of Yue, Gou Jian, endured great humiliation and finally destroyed the State of Wu. Your Majesty, do you care about your personal honor or the Great Tang and its millions of people?”
Li Shiming said in a troubled tone," But the Great Tang has been fighting for many years, and the treasury is empty. If the treasury is emptied, wouldn't the people starve to death if there was a drought?"”
Dugu Yanyun knelt down and said,"Our plan to confuse the soldiers can only be used for a while. We can't deceive them for a few days. Your Majesty, please make up your mind quickly."”
Xiao Rui didn't think so. At the very least, he couldn't completely agree to Jie Li's request. For example, taking only half of it would be very good for the regime of the Great Tang.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said to Li Shiming,"Emperor, just now I caught a person who looks like a general. I believe that using him as a hostage will have a miraculous effect. Bring him up!"
Xiao Rui shouted loudly, and an old man was brought up.
Xiao Rui grabbed his collar and said,"Jie Li, look who this is!"”
"Bastard, let go of my uncle! Alright, alright, alright. I don't have any more requests. As long as you can let my uncle go, I'm willing to make peace.”
Xiao Rui didn't expect that the person he caught would actually have such a heavy weight.
Li Shimin laughed and scolded,"Why didn't you say so earlier when you caught him!" We are wasting our time here. Xiao Rui, you have made another great contribution. How do you think zhen should reward you?”
Thank you for your support. There are so many flowers. Thank you very much!
