Shi Jin lowered his head, not daring to look at Jie Li, because he felt unprecedented anger and murderous intent from Jie Li's tone.
Yu Gu hesitated for a moment and wanted to answer on Shijin's behalf, but for some reason, the words came to his lips but he did not say them out.
Jieli was naked and filled with the unconcealed murderous aura. He stepped down from the golden wolf seat step by step. When he reached the position three feet below the golden wolf seat, he stopped and stared at Shi Jin with his red eyes.
He shouted in a low voice: "Say what you just said again!"
Shijin felt as if he was being targeted by a wolf, and the wolf's sharp claws had already been placed on his shoulders, and its sharp teeth had reached his throat. Cold sweat broke out on his back in an instant.
, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, and said in a trembling voice: "A month ago, Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty led two thousand black armor cavalry to raid my royal court..."
At this point, Shi Jin couldn't talk anymore. Cold sweat not only penetrated his back, but also broke out from his forehead. The reason for all this was that Jie Li didn't know when he had left.
When I got in front of him, my hand was already on his head.
"Where's Keton?"
Jie Li asked.
Shijin swallowed and said, "No...I don't know..."
Jie Li asked again, "Where are Yan Gu and the others?"
Shijin started to panic, "No...I don't know..."
Jie Li continued to ask, "Where are the cattle, sheep, war horses of my Ashina tribe, and the place where Ke Dun Tun and I keep the gold and silver?"
This is what Jieli really wants to ask, and what Jieli really cares about.
Compared with the life and death of the defenders in the royal court, the life and death of the tribes living on the edge of the royal court, and even the life and death of He Dunyicheng, what he really cares about is the cattle and sheep he raises in the royal court, and those like him.
All kinds of gold, silver and jewelry collected during the year, as well as the treasures from the Central Plains that Yang Zhengdao and other pre-Sui people brought with them when they fled to the Turks.
After all, Turks are a mainly nomadic country, and the royal court will move with the changes of the seasons and the lushness of the pastures.
Wherever he is, there is the royal court of the Turks.
Therefore, the royal court itself is not important. If it is raided, it will be raided. What is really important is the gold and silver jewelry stored in the royal court, as well as the millions of cattle, sheep, and war horses.
That's what he cares about most, and that's who he is.
However, Shijin still replied in a panic, "No...I don't know..."
Jie Li immediately picked up Shi Jin, stared with scarlet eyes, and said in a tone like talking to a dead person: "Then what do you know?"
Shijin shivered all over, his crotch became wet, and he wailed in horror: "But! But! Khan, please spare your life!"
Jie Li seemed not to hear Shujin's begging for mercy, and his other hand slowly fell on Shujin's neck. The hand, as powerful as an eagle's talon, squeezed Shujin so hard that he couldn't breathe.
.
"You were probably just thinking about escaping, so you didn't care about anything I wanted to know."
After saying this, Jieli broke Shujin's neck. After Shijin made a strange sound from his mouth, his eyes rolled up, his head tilted, and his whole body softened.
Jie Li casually threw the lost weight aside, stared at Yu Gu, gritted his teeth and said: "You quickly go to Lingzhou with 10,000 fine horses to besiege Li Jing for me, and you must capture the cattle that Li Jing stole from our royal court.
Take back the sheep, war horses, and gold, silver, and jewelry.
You should know that with the lost cattle, sheep, and war horses, I, the Ashina Tribe, and the many tribes attached to my Ashina Tribe, will never be able to survive this cold winter.
So even if you die, you must take back those cattle, sheep, war horses, gold, silver and jewelry.
Do you understand?"
Yugu knew that Jieli was not trying to scare him, but was stating a fact. Turkic tribes relied on cattle and sheep for food. In winter, the grass withered and turned yellow, and the cattle and sheep could only eat some of the few hay stored in summer and autumn.
People from various tribes will also try to stay in their tents to reduce consumption.
Now that all the cattle and sheep that their tribe and other tribes had handed over to their tribe had been kidnapped by Li Jing, their tribe and the tribesmen of other tribes had nothing to eat.
It has just reached the end of December, there is still more than a month until early spring, and there are still two months until the grass and trees grow again. Their tribe and the tribesmen of other tribes simply cannot survive.
They will starve to death in batches, and they will completely fall into silence after a heavy snowfall.
Therefore, he had to snatch back the cattle and sheep that Li Jing had robbed from the royal court, otherwise the population of their Ashina tribe would be reduced by half, and other tribes would even be exterminated.
It is very likely that the Turks will never recover from this, and the leader of the Western Turks, Yehu, may also take advantage of the situation.
So even if he died, he still had to get the cattle and sheep back.
"My child knows..."
Yu Gu grimaced and gritted his teeth.
Jie Li nodded and signaled Yu Gu to go quickly.
After Yugu left, Jieli simply put on a big cloak and summoned all the chiefs in Huai'an City.
After all the chiefs had arrived, Jieli told them the news of the attack on the royal court, and then with their panicked expressions, he said fiercely: "I must make Datang pay the price! Definitely!"
All the chiefs were helpless at this moment, so after hearing Jie Li's words, they all echoed Jie Li's words with indignation and wanted to make Datang pay the price.
They want to take back everything that belongs to them from the Tang Dynasty.
Jie Li asked a group of chiefs to go down and tell the news to all their tribesmen to boost the morale of their tribesmen.
Then he sent people to send orders to Sunisu and Tuli, asking them to lead their troops back and fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty in Qingzhou.
Jieli already knew that the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, who was now the leader of the Tang Dynasty, was in Qingzhou, so he decided to take the head of the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty to retaliate against the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time let the Tang Dynasty know the price of provoking their Turks.
"call……"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yuanji stood on the low wall and exhaled a long breath of white air. Before the white air had dissipated, he rubbed his hands that were almost freezing.
At this time, Yu Wenbao rushed to him without stopping and reported in a heavy voice, "Your Highness, the Turks in Huai'an City have made some movement. They seem to be gathering troops and preparing to fight us.
The Turkic Jingqi, who had been fighting with His Highness the Gaoping County Prince for almost a month, also changed. They began to fight to the death with His Highness the Gaoping County Prince. They seemed to be fighting to the death.
So far, more than a hundred people under the command of Prince Gaoping have been killed."
Li Yuanji thrust his hands into the inside of the cloak and said with a smile: "Jieli is in a hurry and wants to take revenge on us crazily. Go and ask Li Daoli to step back and don't attack again in the future.
Then I’ll ask my second brother what to do next.”
Jieli's reaction was expected by Li Yuanji. After Li Yuanji learned that Li Jing had successfully attacked the Turkic Royal Court, and that the Turkic Royal Court had only a small number of troops and could not withstand a single blow from the Xuanjia Army, he knew that Jieli would definitely do so.
Will start a crazy counterattack and crazy revenge.
Due to Jieli's temperament, he did not immediately launch a counterattack and retaliate, but instead began to gather strength, which shows that Jieli has not been overwhelmed by anger.
How to deal with it depends on Li Shimin's clever tricks.
After all, Li Shimin has begun to speculate on Jie Li's temperament and the various reactions Jie Li will make in various situations. If he doesn't even know these, then he is not Li Shimin.
Yu Wenbao hesitated and said, "Your Highness, don't you have any ideas?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Wenbao suspiciously, "Why do you ask that?"
Yu Wenbao gritted his teeth honestly and said: "There has been a rumor circulating in the army in recent days that you don't know how to fight at all, and it's all because of the help of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the former King of Qin.
Without the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the former King of Qin, you would have been beaten by the Turks and fled back to Chang'an."
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "It seems that my eldest brother is still unwilling to be lonely. I have clearly warned him not to make trouble, otherwise it will be very miserable. Why doesn't he listen?"
Having said this, Li Yuanji thought for a moment and said, "If you do this, the person who delivers food to my elder brother will starve him for two days."
Yu Wenbao asked: "Why not His Highness the former King of Qin?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Yu Wenbao and explained patiently: "My second brother likes to make decisions before taking action. If he is not certain of winning, he will never take action rashly.
If it was him who spread the rumors, then Liu Hongji, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others would probably be around us by now.
But you also know that Liu Hongji is currently guarding Xiaoguan, Changsun Wuji is being guarded by your people, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin are still recovering from their injuries, and it is impossible to touch this place.
Naturally, he will not help my second brother succeed, so it must be my eldest brother who spreads the rumors."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji said funnyly: "If I guessed correctly, these should be some little tricks my elder brother made while I was unconscious in Baijiabao.
If he had spread rumors around when Datang lost against the Turks, he might have caused some trouble for me.
But now that the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly won against the Turks, and victory is in sight, he has people spreading these rumors, which will not have much effect at all."
Yu Wenbao said with a half-understood look: "Then would you like me to send someone to check..."
Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled: "Does this kind of thing still need to be investigated? Just wait until after the war and send people to arrest the person who first said such things."
Li Jiancheng's plan was really clumsy. The most clumsy part was that when the Tang Dynasty repeatedly won, and when victory was in sight, the people he secretly bribed spread rumors, and few people would believe it, and few people would listen.
.
Therefore, there will definitely not be too many people spreading rumors, and those who spread rumors must be the people he bribed.
