They only found out that the person who assassinated Tuli spoke with a bad prairie accent, but no one could see what he looked like or who he was.
"Go and check for me. You must find out clearly. If you can't find out clearly, the Buicks guarding the camp this time will be killed together."
Jieli shouted angrily.
Rehan and others looked stern and quickly went out of Jieli's dental tent to check. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find any clues. Finally, Rehan suggested finding a scapegoat.
The leader of a small tribe who had a rift with Tu Li and was not taken seriously by Jie Li became the mastermind behind Tu Li's assassination.
After a brief interrogation, Jieli knew that the leader of the small tribe had been wrongly accused.
Under the anxious look of Rehan and others, Jieli ordered people to cut out the tongue of the leader of the small tribe, chop off the hands of the leader of the small tribe, burn the wounds with fire, and send them to Baima Mountain.
At this time, it didn't matter whether the leader of the small tribe was unjustly accused or not. The most important thing was to appease Tuli and let Tuli come back with his troops.
Not long after the leader of the small tribe was sent out, someone reported to Jie Li that the imprisoned Tang envoy Xie Shufang seemed to have escaped in the chaos.
Jie Li and others immediately realized that this might be Xie Shufang's fault, but before it became public, Jie Li issued a hush order.
After all the scapegoats were sent out, he went to tell Tu Li that the person who assassinated Tu Li might be Tang Dynasty envoy Xie Shufang. Over and over again, which one should Tu Li believe?
If Tuli didn't believe anyone and resolutely returned to the grassland with his people, wouldn't everything they did be in vain?
Therefore, even if you are wrong, you can only make one mistake to the end.
When the people sent by Jieli to deliver the scapegoat arrived at Baima Mountain, Tuli had already led them into Daizhou.
When Jieli's men chased him to Daizhou, Tuli had already reached Wutai.
Jieli's men pursued Tuli until they reached Yanmen.
Tu Li believed in the scapegoat that Jie Li handed over.
But Tu Li did not take his people back to Weize Pass. Instead, he said to Jie Li's people: "Uncle Wang's men want to kill me. Weize Pass is all Uncle Wang's people. How can I dare to go back?"
Jieli's people tried their best to persuade him, saying that the leader of the small tribe had a personal grudge against Tuli, so he took the opportunity to assassinate Tuli. Jieli didn't know about it, and Jieli loved Tuli very much.
But Tuli didn't believe it. He stubbornly believed that Jieli had harmful intentions towards him.
Even if Jie Li didn't send anyone to assassinate him, he wouldn't be safe staying with Jie Li.
The reason is very simple. After he was assassinated, he waited in the tent for a long time until Jieli's army returned to the camp. He did not wait for Jieli to send troops to protect him, nor did he wait for Jieli to express his condolences.
He saw with his own eyes that Fulijuli and his men whizzed past his tent.
Jieli had the intention to send Fulijuli to subdue Crazy Horse, but he had no intention of sending anyone to protect him.
This shows that in Jie Li's heart, his life is not that important.
His life was not important in Jie Li's heart, so how could he stay by Jie Li's side anymore.
…
While Jie Li was trying his best to save Tu Li, Li Yuanji, Yu Wenbao and his party were welcoming the hero.
Li Zhongwen led more than 500 cavalrymen with broken stomachs and appeared at the pass in Weize Pass with a proud look on their faces.
This time they raided the Turkic camp and penetrated the camp. It can be said that they returned with a great victory.
Li Yuanji ordered the guards of the house to guard the pass and gave Li Zhongwen extremely high courtesy.
After Li Zhongwen and his party advanced for a certain distance, the guards of Prince Qi's palace loudly expressed their merit for Li Zhongwen and his party.
Until Li Zhongwen and his party arrived at the pass, everyone in the pass cheered and praised Li Zhongwen and his party.
"I was ordered to leave the pass and attack the camp. I passed through the camp and came here to report back to His Highness!"
After Li Zhongwen rode up to Li Yuanji, he cupped his hands and announced loudly.
The cavalrymen behind Li Zhongwen all raised their chests, showing their pitted but full of meritorious weapons.
Li Yuanji said with admiration: "You have done a good job. I will personally write to my father to ask for credit for you."
After saying this, Li Yuanji added, "If my father's reward is less, I will not agree."
Li Zhongwen and all the cavalrymen suddenly became happy.
Li Zhongwen said boldly: "Your Highness, how would you like me to compare with Uncle Xie?"
Li Zhongwen did not dare to mention Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang beheaded Liu Heita, but his contribution to the camp was not comparable. If he had beheaded two or three Turks, or Liang Shidu, it would have been comparable.
Li Zhongwen was not too complacent.
Cuncui was feeling angry because he had made a mistake before and was taught a lesson by Li Yuanji.
Now that he has made considerable achievements, he naturally wants to prove to Li Yuanji that he is no weaker than the people under Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Zhongwen angrily and funny, not knowing what to say.
If Li Zhongwen were compared with Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Luo Shixin and others, then he could still talk a lot.
When Li Zhongwen was compared with Xie Shufang, Li Yuanji didn't know what to say at all.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Li Zhongwen urged him to ask.
Li Yuanji originally wanted to save some face for Li Zhongwen, but Li Zhongwen refused to give in. He could only say quietly: "You, a duke, will have no face if you compare with a marquis. If you win, you will have no face if you lose.
What are you comparing yourself to?"
At the end of the sentence, Li Yuanji stared at Li Zhongwen with a questioning look on his face.
Li Zhongwen made a big blush.
When he was about to say something, he heard the clatter of horse hooves. Looking back, he saw four or five beggar-like people, carrying a wolf's head, dangling behind him.
On the road not far away.
The other people also looked over, looking confused.
After a few people approached, everyone saw clearly that the leader was Xie Shufang, the left commander of the Qi Palace.
When Uncle Xie saw Li Yuanji leading a group of people gathered at the Weize Pass, he hurriedly urged his horse and rushed to Li Yuanji. After seeing Li Zhongwen and his entourage beside Li Yuanji, he was slightly startled and thought about it.
for a moment, but said nothing.
"Plop..."
Xie Shufang galloped in front of Li Yuanji, jumped off the horse, carried the wolf's head to Li Yuanji, knelt down on one knee, and said with a dark look on his face: "I am ashamed of your highness's trust, and I was not able to delay too much."
Time, please punish me, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji looked a little strange, and felt a little excited because he saw clearly what the wolf head that Xie Shufang was carrying was.
Xie Shufang has done a great job.
It's just that there doesn't seem to be any shady people in the house. Who did Xie Shufang learn this from?
He has obviously made great achievements, but he still has to act like he has accomplished nothing and is ashamed of himself.
Li Zhongwen also saw clearly what the wolf head that Xie Shufang was carrying was, and his face became even redder.
He just built a camp and brought so many helpers.
Xie Shufang single-handedly fought his way in and out of the Turkic camp, and brought back an incredible thing.
He just made a point of comparing himself to Uncle Xie.
As a result, before the competition was over, his face was swollen.
"Xie Shufang, you can't do it. General Li went to the Turkic camp and penetrated the Turkic camp. I led the troops and horses and lured thousands of Turks to the bait, and killed several hundred.
You went to the Turkic camp and struggled for many days, but why did you bring back a wolf head?"
Yu Wenbao didn't know whether he saw clearly what the wolf head Xie Shufang was carrying was, or whether he didn't see it clearly.
Anyway, after Xie Shufang finished speaking, he looked at Xie Shufang and said exaggeratedly with a look in his eyes like "You have embarrassed the Qi Palace."
Li Zhongwen wanted to tear Yu Wenbao's mouth apart.
Why don’t you open which pot and pick up which pot?!
"General Li just said that he is better than you."
Yu Wenbao shouted and added another sentence.
Li Zhongwen's ears and neck were red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"oh?"
Xie Shufang feigned a cry of surprise, raised the wolf's head in the air, waved it in front of Li Zhongwen's eyes, and asked, "General Li actually penetrated the Turkic camp, so I am indeed not as good as General Li."
Li Zhongwen almost died of embarrassment on the spot. He looked at Li Yuanji with a pleading look, hoping that Li Yuanji would help him out.
Li Yuanji said happily: "Okay, just come back safely."
After saying this, before anyone else could speak, Li Yuanji greeted boldly, "Everyone has entered the border. This time we have a great victory over the Turks, so we should celebrate.
Today the soldiers from Weizeguan and the soldiers from my house take turns guarding the camp, let’s all celebrate well.”
"Your Highness is mighty! Your Highness is mighty!"
When the soldiers inside and outside the pass heard Li Yuanji's words, they cheered again.
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Li Yuanji led Li Zhongwen, Xie Shufang and others into the pass.
However, before entering the customs, Xie Shufang specifically asked Li Yuanji for instructions, saying that he had rescued some people from Daizhou in the Turkic camp and now they were placed in Jingxing County. He hoped that Li Yuanji could send a letter to the magistrate of Jingxing County to let them know.
The magistrate of Jingxing County took care of one or two.
Li Yuanji felt that it would be better to take the people to Weize Pass if they were left in Jingxing County.
A large medical complex is being built outside Weize Pass and is in urgent need of manpower.
The strong men recruited from nearby counties will return sooner or later.
The people saved by Xie Shufang just happened to be able to settle nearby and were responsible for maintaining the medical center and helping the doctors on weekdays.
After Li Yuanji told Xie Shufang his idea, Xie Shufang agreed without hesitation and ordered several men who followed him to Weize Pass to take the news back.
After entering the customs, after redeploying the defense, the celebration began.
The soldiers celebrated everywhere in Weize Pass. Li Yuanji took Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen to celebrate in the courtyard where they lived.
After sitting down at the banquet, when not many soldiers were paying attention, Li Yuanji slowly asked Xie Shufang, "Did you chop off the wolf's head of the Turkic Khan?"
Li Zhongwen, Yu Wenbao, and Su Dingfang, who had just been able to get out of bed and walk around, were all shocked when they heard Li Yuanji's words.
Although some of them had already seen the wolf-headed banner and knew that Xie Shufang had beheaded the Turkic Khan's wolf-headed banner, they still couldn't help but be moved when they heard Li Yuanji's words.
