Chang 'an Was Besieged, The Turks Persuaded To Surrender
Outside Chang 'an City, the Jie Li Khan led two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry to camp at the Wei River, looking at Chang' an City from afar.
The capital of Chang 'an, which used to be peaceful, was filled with smoke everywhere.
In the Taiji Palace of Chang 'an Royal Palace, the anger in the morning court was obviously different from before. Li Shiming and the other important officials of the court looked solemn and kept silent.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the civil officials who were known by later generations as " the man who plotted against his wife," were also deep in thought. Even the " God of War " Li Jing was silent.
After all, the Great Tang's external military forces were basically trapped in the northern battlefield, and Chang 'an could be considered isolated.
"Aren't you all the loyal ministers of the Great Tang? Now, tell me, the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers of the Jie Li Khagan have already reached Chang 'an. What should we do?”
Li Shiming, who was sitting in the main seat, coldly glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and the others beside him. His face was extremely gloomy.
"Your Majesty, what's there to think about? I, Old Cheng, will lead twenty thousand black-armored cavalry and guarantee that I will slaughter all the Turkic dogs outside the city.”
A person flashed out from the camp of generals. It was the Tang Dynasty gangster Cheng Yaojin.
Looking at Cheng Yaojin who suddenly appeared, Li Shimin also had a headache.
Ever since he learned that Jie Li Khan had gone south, Cheng Yaojin had been clamoring to take the head of Jie Li Khan.
"Duke Su, the Great Tang has so many things to do that it simply can't afford this war.”
Zhangsun Wuji stood up to stop Cheng Yaojin.
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't fight.”
After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling finally stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Tang army is now trapped in the battlefield of the northern border, and Chang 'an is isolated and helpless. We only have one choice now.”
"Which way?"
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shiming's eyes lit up.
However, Fang Xuanling's next words were clearly beyond everyone's expectations.
"Peace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally silent court immediately became noisy.
"Asking for peace? The Turks have killed countless citizens of the Great Tang since they entered the country. Asking for peace with them is impossible!”
"Your Majesty, I, Cheng Yaojin, request to fight!"
"Your subject, Yuchi Gong, requests to fight!"
The nearby generals were even more furious. After all, making peace with the Turks was a humiliation to them.
"Report! The Turkic envoy is here…"
Just as everyone in the court was arguing, a voice came from afar.
Instantly, the noisy court fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
"Announce!"
Li Shiming's face grew even darker as he coldly stared at the Turkic envoy.
The Turkic envoy paid no attention to the vicious gazes of the civil and military officials.
The Turkic envoy looked at Li Shimin mockingly and bluntly said,
"The Turkic Zhishi Sili greets the Emperor of the Great Tang. Now that two hundred thousand of our Turkic soldiers are stationed at Chang 'an, why don't Your Majesty surrender and save your life?”
These words instantly ignited the entire court.
"Impudent!"
"Turk dog, you're courting death!"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill him!”
"Old Turkic dog!"
The civil and military officials all revealed vicious looks in their eyes, preparing to teach this Turkic envoy a lesson.
Li Shi Min looked at the excited crowd and couldn't help but shout,
"Enough!"
"Zhishi Sili, are you Turks really going to violate the alliance?”
Zhishi Sili laughed like he had heard a joke.
" Our Turkic cavalry has arrived. Chang 'an can be easily broken. What is the alliance? Hahaha…"
"Of course, you can also continue to struggle on your deathbed. Although I don't know where your Great Tang has produced a white-robed cavalry that was able to lift the siege of Youzhou and kill tens of thousands of my Turkic cavalry with just three thousand soldiers, I don't know how you managed to do so.”
Before Zhishi Sili could finish speaking, everyone in the court was stunned.
Mysterious cavalry?
The siege of Youzhou was lifted?
Three thousand men killed tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry?
Instantly, all the civil and military officials below the stage couldn't help but look at Li Shiming, their eyes filled with doubt.
Since when did our Great Tang have such a cavalry?
However, Li Shi Min didn't care about them, because he didn't know where they came from.
Li Shiming was confused.
Li Shi Min was naturally very clear about how many soldiers he had under him.
What the hell is this white-robed cavalry? Why didn't I know about this army?
If not for Zhishi Sili's serious tone, Li Shiming would have thought that he was lying.
But although he didn't know what Zhishi Sili was saying, it didn't stop him from acting cool.
"That's right. This white-robed cavalry is indeed a secret army of the Great Tang.”
When Zhangsun Wuji heard Li Shiming's words, his mouth twitched.
As Li Shiming's brother-in-law, he was naturally very clear about Li Shiming's military strength.
He had never even heard of the god-like white-robed cavalry.
This guy really dared to brag…
However, Zhangsun Wuji naturally wouldn't expose Li Shiming, so he could only nod with a bitter smile.
Zhishi Sili couldn't help but mock Li Shiming's serious admission.
"So what? After the battle in Youzhou, this trump card army probably suffered heavy casualties. If this is your trump card, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible.”
"Surrender? Zhishi Sili, you Turks are too confident!”
