"It's him? Your Highness, do you know this person?”
Qin Shubao came back to his senses and stared at Princess Li Lizhi with a dull expression.
However, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle said,"Am I seeing things?"
"It's really him. I didn't see wrongly. It's him. The voice is him, and the face is correct.”
"I didn't expect him to be so powerful!”
Princess Li Lizhi stared in the direction where Cao Jing had disappeared, and her heart shook. The scene of the city being broken by the halberd and the invincible overlord was deeply imprinted in her heart, and she could not forget it.
......
In front of Jingyang City, beside the Wei River.
The Turkic Jiali Khan led his troops to stand here.
The Turkic Jie Li Khagan was all smiles and brimming with confidence, because he had the Turkic elite army of two hundred thousand behind him. This was the basis of his confidence.
"Great Khan, do you think the Great Tang's Emperor Li Er will come?”
A general beside him asked.
"Yes, he will come."
Jie Li Khan smiled confidently.
This attack on the Great Tang had come at lightning speed, leaving the Great Tang powerless to retaliate.
He had already sent out scouts to investigate, and the Great Tang could only muster thirty thousand soldiers at most. How could they compare to the two hundred thousand elite soldiers behind him?
Moreover, this was the time when the Great Tang's imperial power was changing, and it had just experienced the coup of the Xuanwu Sect. The people were in chaos, and the political situation was unstable.
The clever Li Er would definitely choose to come to peace talks to ensure that he could stabilize the court and protect the throne that he had obtained from killing.
And he could use this tactic of subduing the enemy without fighting to extort the Tang Emperor Li Er, obtaining the food, money, and any benefits the Turks wanted. Wouldn't that be even better?
Thus, he ordered the two hundred thousand elite Turkic soldiers to line up on the banks of the Wei River, but they were not in a hurry to attack.
On the other hand, he sent an envoy to Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire, which was close at hand, to intimidate the Tang Empire and pressure Li Er, forcing him to bow down to him.
"Great Khan, the gates of Jingyang City are wide open. A man in an emperor's robe is heading toward the bank of the Wei River with more than a thousand cavalry.”
At this moment, a scout came to report.
Hearing this news, the eyes of the Jie Li Khagan narrowed. When he saw the Tang Emperor Li Er approaching, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in excitement.
He rubbed his hands fiercely and stared at the Tang Emperor Li Er, who was coming from afar. He revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face and said,""That's right. This Khagan guessed correctly. The Great Tang is currently extremely weak.”
A moment later, the Tang Emperor Li Er arrived with several thousand black-armored guards and his two generals, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin.
When he saw the wolf-like smile on the Jie Li Khan's face, the Tang Emperor Li Er's heart trembled.
Because this gaze made him resentful and helpless, because in the eyes of Jie Li Khan, he saw the scene of wolves hunting sheep.
However, he was really helpless at the moment.
Although there were 20,000 hastily formed Tang defense forces in Jingyang City,
But the Turks had come prepared with two hundred thousand of their elite soldiers.
However, this did not mean that they had to fight with their backs to the wall!
However, after he ascended the throne, Li Er was no longer the King of Qin who only knew how to fight and kill. He was now the Emperor of the Tang Empire. If he failed, the two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry would trample Chang 'an and the people of the Tang Empire would suffer.
Therefore, as the Emperor of the Great Tang, he could not afford to gamble!
Thus, he had agreed to the Turkic Khan's invitation to meet and negotiate, preparing to resolve the Great Tang's crisis through negotiation.
In fact, Li Er was already prepared to be humiliated by the Turkic Jie Khan.
Li Er was even prepared to cede his territory and pay compensation. He was also prepared to bear the eternal infamy.
But when he met the greedy gaze of the Turkic Jie Li Khagan, the anger in his heart erupted. Although this was a negotiation, he could not lose the blood of the Great Tang!
Thus, the Tang Emperor Li Er fearlessly faced the Turkic Jie Li Khan on the other side of the river. His first sentence was to berate angrily,""Jie Li Khagan, you actually ignored the treaty of friendship between the Great Tang and the Turks and waited for an opportunity to invade the Great Tang.”
As if he had expected the Tang Emperor Li Er to reprimand him like this, the Jie Li Khagan was not angry at all, nor did he explain. He just stared at Li Er with a smile.
Because he was sure that even if Li Er was angry at this moment, he would not dare to do anything wrong. He would definitely bow down obediently.
However, at this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the formation of the 200,000 strong army.
The Turkic Jieli Khagan frowned, and a general hurried over from behind. He bowed and reported,"Great Khagan, we've been deceived! Great Tang cavalry has ambushed our Turkic camp!”
"What?"
The Turkic Jie Li Khan was shocked and angry.
"Li Er, you actually took advantage of the peace talks to secretly plot against me!”
"Great Tang people, you're too cunning!”
The Turkic Jie Li Khagan's expression changed greatly, his calm expression disappearing, his eyes flashing with fury.
"What?"
"Ambushing two hundred thousand Turkic elites?”
On the other side of the Wei River, Li Eryi of the Tang Empire, who had come to negotiate, was dumbfounded.
He looked at the furious Turkic Jie Li Khagan, then at the increasingly chaotic Turkic army. He couldn't help but turn to ask Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin,"Did you do this?"
