"What is it? Apothecary, you said Jie Li sent troops?"
Li Shi Min shouted from Taiji Palace.
In the past few days, he had been busy preparing to send troops to Li Chengdao, so he did not know that the Turks would come to cause trouble at this critical moment.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Three days ago, Jie Li worshiped Longevity Heaven and brought hundreds of Turkic tribes and an army of three hundred thousand to the south. The army stretched for several dozen li and had tens of millions of cattle and sheep!”
Li Shi Min couldn't help but rub his head. In his eyes, the threat of the Turks was even greater than that of Li Cheng Dao.
He said to the eunuch beside him,"Little Yellow Sect, where did you get my map?"”
Very quickly, a map that was thirty feet long and twenty feet wide was presented.
"Pharmacist, which path did Jie Li take?" Li Shimin asked Li Jing. We'll arrive in a few days!"
Li Jing pointed at the map and said,""The path that the Turks took!"
Li Shiming pondered for a moment and said,"To take this road, we must first break through the Yanmen Pass and then drive straight to Chang 'an!"”
"Your Majesty is right." Li Jing nodded.”
"Which army near Yanmen Pass can go to help?" Li Shimin asked.”
Li Jing said," Li Ji of Hancheng is the closest. He only needs three days to go by Zixin Road.”
Li Shiming shook his head and said," Li Ji can't act rashly. We have to be wary of Li Chengdao. If Han City falls, our army will be attacked from both sides. The Great Tang will truly be troubled internally and externally!”
"Your Majesty, do you mean to give up Yanmen Pass?”Li Jing asked.
Li Shi Min closed his eyes and said helplessly,"Only then, we can fight Jie Li near Chang 'an.”
……
Li Chengdao's temporary residence in Youzhou City.
"What is it? You said that Jie Li led the Turkic army south and would reach Yanmen Pass in five days?”
Li Chengdao stood up and questioned Luo Yi.
Luo Yi nodded." The information is correct. According to the scouts, the Turkic army is 300,000 strong, covering the sky and the sun. There are countless cattle and sheep.”
All the generals present tensed up and looked at Li Chengdao.
"My lord, what about our army?" Han Xin asked Li Chengdao.”
Li Chengdao was about to answer when he heard the city gate order run in. He knelt on the ground and said,
"My lord, there's a group of people outside the city gates. They say they're Turkic envoys and have something important to ask for an audience!“
Whoosh.
The entire hall exploded. What were the Turks doing here?
Li Chengdao pondered for a moment and said,"Let them in!"
Soon, the Turkic group was led in by a tall man with curly hair and an eagle nose. He wore Turkic clothing and had a scimitar strapped to his waist.
The Turkic man was rather polite and bowed to Li Chengxing.
"What's your purpose in Youzhou City?" Li Chengdao asked him.”
"My name is Ashina Yesi, and I come from the great Ashina clan. I represent the great Turkic Great Khan Jie Li. Today, I have something to discuss with His Highness."
Li Chengdao's expression turned cold as he frowned and said,""What is it?"
"We will discuss splitting the Great Tang equally with His Highness!" Ashnayas said proudly.”
What was that? Divide the Great Tang equally?
The generals couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Chengdao's expression turned even colder.”
Ashina Yates smiled and said," Your Highness, please send troops to attack Hancheng and restrain Li Ji. Our Turkic army will directly attack Chang 'an and take down the territory of the Tang Empire. We will divide it equally with Your Highness."”
As he spoke, he took out a pure gold token and said,"This is Khan Jie Li's gold token, giving it to Your Highness represents Khan's sincerity!”
Li Chengdao didn't even look at the gold token and said to Ashnayas,""You go, go back and tell Jie Li that I, Li Chengdao, will not cooperate with him and will not be a traitor!”
"How can you say he's a traitor?" Ashina Yates asked anxiously.! The Great Khan is a man of his word. As long as you agree, you can choose any territory in the Great Tang!”
He was speaking the truth. The territory of the Turks was much larger than that of the Great Tang, and the Jie factions valued the wealth of the Great Tang more than land.
Li Chengdao waved his hand and said to Ashinayas,""Since you're an envoy, I'll let you go today! The next time we meet, I'll definitely kill you!"
With that, the guards on the left and right came up and dragged Ashnayass out of the palace.
After the envoy left, Song Jiang stepped forward and said,""My lord, we don't want to work with the Turks, and we don't need to offend them. The Turks hold grudges the most!”
Luo Yi said,"My lord, even if we fall out, why don't we wait until Jie Li and Li Shimin fight? Then our army will benefit from it."”
Li Chengdao waved his hand and said,"Li Shi Min and I are family enemies, Jie Li and I are national enemies!" Which is more important?"
