"The second step is to wait for the alliance at Weishui River, right? I estimate that it will be within three days at the latest…"
"Alright, for the next two days, I'll just sleep in the open and suffer a little. In order to be a silkpants prince in the future, everything is worth it.”
Li Qiu shook his head. Then, he chose a comfortable place under the bridge and sat on the ground, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Weishui Alliance.
The development of the incident was also much faster than Li Qiu had imagined.
The next day, noon.
Li Qiu had just roasted the fish she caught and eaten it when she heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance. It was not just a small number, but an army of thousands!
Not only that, even on the bank of Weishui River, the sound of thousands of troops galloping could be heard!
In the north…
Jie Li Khan and his Turkic generals rode on their horses with smug expressions.
Behind them, the Turkic army of one hundred thousand charged forward, their eyes filled with killing intent.
"This time, I've led 200,000 troops south and have been attacking cities and villages. Even though I've arranged for many soldiers to guard the various camps, there are still 100,000 troops at the edge of Chang 'an!”
"I want to see how Li Er will block it!”
Khan Jie Li sneered, his eyes filled with ridicule.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he, Jie Li Khan, had not dared to act recklessly, but now, the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and the change in Xuanwu Gate had caused the Great Tang's military strength to rapidly decrease.
At this moment, Li Er was already in a terrible state. He, Jie Li Khan, had taken advantage of the chaos to come. Was he afraid that Li Er could turn the world upside down?
In fact, there was no need for Jie Li Khan to enter the Great Tang and come to Chang 'an to steal food.
After all, in the eyes of the Turks, the Great Tang was filled with food! Grains, livestock? This was naturally food…but the people of the Great Tang were nothing more than two-legged sheep in their eyes!
Not only could it be eaten, but women could also use it to vent. After they got tired of it, they could kill it and eat it. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
But he still came.
Why?
He wanted to see Li Er's embarrassed and uneasy appearance and force him to lower his head!
To be able to make Li Er lower his head…If word got out, wouldn't he be the most powerful person in the world?
"Khagan is wise…"
Ashina Duobi laughed and flattered him.
Not long after he finished speaking, a group of armored guards rode over on warhorses. In the end, they stopped at the other end of the bridge and looked at each other.
Jie Li Khan looked at them calmly. On the other side of the bridge, Li Er led Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and the others, their faces filled with anger.
"Jie Li Khan!"
Li Er led three thousand black-armored soldiers and stood at the bridgehead. He looked at the Jie Li Khan on the other side and said angrily,""Have you all forgotten the original alliance agreement? Why did you invade my Central Plains?"
Li Er was very angry and excited. He looked like he was about to start a war.
But…only he knew that this was just a bluff. In fact, he was mentally and physically exhausted at the moment…
There was no need to talk about internal and external problems. His favorite son, Li Qiu, was still missing. How could he be indifferent?
"Li Er…Oh, I should call him Tang Wang now.”
Khan Jie Li waved his hand and said innocently,""You can't say things carelessly. When did I invade the Central Plains?”
"It's just that this year's locust plague is severe and there's no grain harvest, so I went south to borrow some food. You won't refuse to lend it to me, will you?"
As he finished speaking, Khan Jie Li smiled, but his smile was filled with malice.
Then, he looked at the 3,000 black-armored soldiers behind Li Er and said disdainfully,""If you don't agree, I'm afraid that even if your Black Armor Army is an elite, they will all be lost here today.”
Even if Jie Li Khan was arrogant, he had to admit that the Black Armor Army was indeed powerful, but so what?
How could a mere three thousand black-armored soldiers be a match for his one hundred thousand Turkic warriors?
"South? Borrow food?"
Li Er's face darkened." You've committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. You even treat the people of the Tang Empire like two-legged sheep. You call this borrowing food from the south?"”
"Return to your plains immediately and abide by the agreement from before. We can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise…"
"I will definitely fight you to the death!”
When Jie Li Khan heard this, he immediately laughed,"" Hahahaha, Li Er, Li Er, calling you King Tang, you really…"
……
"You really know how to brag."
Under the bridge, Li Qiu yawned out of boredom. As he listened to the two of them bickering, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
"The ancients liked to exchange insults for a long time before a fight?”
" How boring. Let's get down to business. Sigh, there are so many mosquitoes under this bridge…"
Li Qiu, who had been bitten by mosquitoes, wanted them to sign the alliance at Weishui River as soon as possible. Then, he would succeed and be stripped of his position as the Crown Prince.
At that time, wouldn't he be free and able to flirt with beautiful young ladies every day?
At the bridgeheads on both sides, Jie Li Khan and Li Er fought for a long time and finally came to an agreement.
Logically speaking, Jie Li Khan had a large number of people, so it was impossible for them to sign the Wei River alliance.
After all, one hundred thousand Turkic soldiers were lined up on the north bank of the Wei River, their banners fluttering for several dozen li.
On the other hand, behind Li Er, there were only 3,000 black-armored soldiers, and they were shivering.
However, not long after the two sides started talking, a large number of troops arrived from Chang 'an, making it difficult for Jie Li Khan. In the end, he could only choose to sign the Wei River alliance.
But in fact, this was just Li Er's plan. These troops were all the troops in Chang 'an! At this moment, Chang 'an's army was empty, and the people were trembling!
This was a huge gamble. Fortunately, Li Er won…
"Today, I will kill my white horse to form the alliance at the Wei River!”
"If in the future, anyone who dares to betray the alliance agreement will be struck by lightning five times. From now on…"
Li Er personally killed his white horse with a single slash. His voice was cold, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.
Although it looked like the Jie Li Khagan had cowered, the Great Tang side was simply bluffing!
If they really fought, the only outcome would be defeat!
"Fortunately, I succeeded!"
Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and the others looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from under the bridge…
Sizzle…
"What's that sound?"
Everyone's expressions changed. Jie Li Khagan approached the bridge and looked out, only to find a masked youth watching him from tens of meters away.
The strange sound came from below.
Looking closely, it was a spark that was constantly burning…
"There's actually such a sound when the flames are burning?”
Jie Li Khan's mind was filled with question marks. He was very puzzled. Opposite him, Li Er and the others were also dumbfounded…
(｀ω)……
However, Li Er suddenly realized that the young man's figure was somewhat familiar!
When they were about to sign the alliance at Weishui River, the sudden change stunned both parties…
And then…
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by a wave of tremors and flames.
And then…the riverbank north of the bridge…collapsed!
