"What a good Li Shi Min!"
Jie Li Khan exclaimed in his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin rode his horse and slowly walked onto the bridge. Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, and the others behind him all cried out in surprise, their eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine."
Li Shi Min waved his hand. There was no fear in his eyes. He rode his white horse and slowly walked onto the temporary bridge.
Standing on the bridge, Li Shimin couldn't help but be taller than Jie Li Khan. Unknowingly, it made Khan Jie Li's aura slightly weaker.
"Jie Li Khagan, you actually dare to break the alliance agreement. As the ruler of a country, aren't you ashamed?”
Li Shi Min's shout made Jie Li Khan's face turn red. After all, as the ruler of a country, it was indeed a little embarrassing to publicly break the contract and be reprimanded on the surface.
"Hmph, the winner takes all. There are only benefits between countries. There is no so-called morality.”
Khan Jie Li said in a deep voice, speaking in the official language of the Great Tang. It seemed that he understood the culture of the Central Plains very well.
"Khagan Jie Li, our Great Tang is not so easily subdued. If you don't retreat today, then at most, it'll be a life-and-death struggle.”
"Winter is about to arrive. If your Turkic army is dragged here by the Great Tang, it's hard to say who will die.”
Li Shi Min said in a deep voice.
Jie Li Khan frowned, Li Shi Min was right. However, since Jie Li Khan was the ruler of a country, he wasn't stupid. He only needed to know one thing, and that was that Chang 'an City only had tens of thousands of soldiers.
Even if he had to retreat, he had to get the benefits he deserved. Otherwise, wouldn't he have worked for nothing? Although they had already plundered enough since the invasion, they were still not satisfied.
Just as Jie Li Khagan was pondering, the sound of hooves came from behind Li Shi Min. In the distance, a flag with the word 'Tang' was fluttering in the wind.
He saw troops of soldiers marching over in an orderly manner.
The army was neat and orderly, and their aura was like a rainbow.
"This?“
Jie Li Khagan was shocked. Such a military appearance was simply an army that had experienced hundreds of battles! This caused the Jie Li Khagan to hesitate. After all, the Turks had enemies as well, and if they were truly tied down by the Great Tang, they would suffer severe losses.
The entire bank of Weishui River fell into silence. In truth, Li Shimin and the other officials and soldiers of the Great Tang were all nervous.
In fact, they were gambling, and so was Li Shiming.
"Reporting to Khagan!"
At this moment, a scout suddenly appeared in front of Jie Li Khan. Riding on his warhorse, he whispered something into Jie Li Khan's ear.
Jie Li Khagan's expression changed, his eyes filled with rage.
"Li Shi Min, how dare you lie to me?”
Jie Li Khan was furious, and Li Shi Min and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.
"As expected of Li Shi Min, I was almost fooled by you. The so-called strong army was just a disguise! There were only tens of thousands of troops in Chang 'an, and most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled.”
"As expected, you Central Plainsmen are full of tricks.”
Jie Li Khan was furious. If it wasn't for his spy in Chang 'an who had spread the news, he might have been frightened by Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min's face turned ugly. He thought he was going to succeed, but he didn't expect to be exposed.
"Kill! Children, kill! Whoever kills Li Shiming will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred beauties!”
"When we invade Chang 'an, there will be countless wealth and women. First come, first served!”
Jie Li Khan raised the scimitar in his hand and roared. The eyes of the Turkic army turned red as they stared at the Tang army and the towering Chang 'an Fortress like wild beasts.
"Everyone, it looks like we won't be able to escape today.”
Li Shi Min said with a bitter smile. Even someone as strong as him had despair in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. We'll stop him. As long as he went to Jiangnan, he could make a comeback there.”
Zhangsun Wuji said. Li Shiming could not die, or the Great Tang would truly be finished. This was because Li Yuan had lost his illustrious past, and Li Shiming's sons were still young and could not support a country.
Therefore, Li Shi Min had to survive.
"No, I can't escape. The Guanyin maid, Cheng Ren, and Green Sparrow are all in Chang 'an. There's no time for them to escape together. I can't give up on them. I don't want to experience that feeling again!”
Li Shi Min's eyes were filled with pain as he spoke. The ministers were all silent. They naturally knew what Li Shiming was talking about. That incident back then was Li Shiming's lifelong pain.
"Everyone, are you still willing to fight with me?”
Li Shi Min shouted loudly and drew his sword, as if he had returned to the time when the King of Qin conquered the world.
"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
All the ministers shouted, none of them backing down. For a while, the Tang army soldiers all bravely died, no one was afraid.
"Kill!"
Both sides roared and instantly charged forward. On the shallow bank of the Wei River, the Turks all crossed the water and charged at the Tang army with an aura of destruction.
The two armies clashed, but the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were like eggs hitting a rock. It was only a single collision, but it was instantly shattered like tofu.
The neatly arranged army formation was directly scattered.
"As expected, they are all just for show.”
Jie Li Khan was furious. This was a humiliation because he was almost fooled by Li Shi Min. The situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided. The Turkic army, with three to four times their strength, was simply no match for them.
