Su Dingfang nodded and said, "I understand. I will immediately send someone to send a message to Sunisi's envoy."
Li Yuanji warned: "Be quick, we don't have time to waste with them."
Li Jing has already led a large army to Lingzhou, and may invade the Turks anytime and anywhere.
When Li Jing invades the Turks, it will not be so easy for the two sides to negotiate as they are now.
After all, it is one thing for both parties to make gestures without taking action, but it is another thing for them to do so.
Although Li Jing's side mainly targeted Jie Li, it certainly had an impact on Sunisi's side.
After all, although Sunishi and Jieli belong to different families, in the final analysis they are both Turks, and what the Tang Dynasty started this time was the war to destroy the Turks.
If the righteousness of family and country in Suni's heart and national sentiments gain the upper hand, then he is very likely to give up negotiating with the Tang Dynasty and choose to join Jie Li's camp to help Jie Li resist the Tang Dynasty.
Datang cannot wait until they put aside their past grudges and join hands to share weal and woe before targeting them.
Datang must make strategic arrangements for them before this happens.
Su Dingfang is also a master of the art of war and knows the secrets inside. He immediately nodded and said: "I will do it as soon as possible..."
Li Yuanji nodded and signaled that Su Dingfang could go down.
Subsequently, there was an ongoing exchange of messages between Datang and Sunishi's troops. Until the end of March, when Liang Luoren received an accurate message, Sunishi had not yet given an accurate reply.
However, Li Yuanji did not wait any longer.
After Liang Luoren relented and changed the meeting place from Huluqiu to Liushuchuan, he ordered Su Dingfang to prepare for the meeting.
Liushuchuan is ten miles away from Xianren Ridge. Although it is beyond the boundary of Daizhou, it is twenty miles closer to Daizhou than Huluqiu.
The most important thing is that Liushu River is surrounded by flat plains, so no one can ambush anyone, so it is a pretty good meeting place.
When Liang Luoren proposed to change the location to this place, Li Yuanji agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong didn't feel there was any danger and didn't stop it.
On the fifth day of April.
Su Dingfang prepared everything for the meeting, and Li Yuanji rushed to Liushuchuan with Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Zhao Chengyong.
Originally, Su Dingfang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Yuanji.
There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Daizhou that he needs to control. He also needs to keep an eye on the battles between Gao Yaxian and Dahe Chiluo, as well as Tu Diji, Ye Hu and Dahe Duoluo.
Therefore, he cannot leave Daizhou and must stay in Daizhou.
When Li Yuanji led Li Shimin and nearly 3,000 people to Liushuchuan, it was already the sixth day of April.
After Zhao Chengyong selected a place to camp, he immediately sent out the scouts.
Li Yuanji ordered people to light a bonfire under the big willow tree beside Liushu River, and sat in front of the bonfire to grill fish.
The fish was caught from the creek next to Liushu River. It was neither big nor small, only about a pound and a half. It tasted particularly fragrant when grilled.
While Cheng Yaojin chuckled and took away a grilled half-cooked fish and started chewing it, Zhao Chengyong set up the sentry and returned to the big willow tree.
"Liang Luoren hasn't arrived yet?"
Li Yuanji casually stuffed a piece of grilled fish to Yu Chigong, who was not as shameless as Cheng Yaojin, looked at Zhao Chengyong and asked.
Zhao Chengyong nodded and said: "The scouts have explored for ten miles and found no trace of anyone."
Cheng Yaojin chewed the half-cooked fish and said with a cheerful smile: "Were we not fooled by Liang Luoren?"
Yuchi respectfully gave him the grilled fish in his hand and glanced at him. Then Li Shimin, who had a very cold face, shouted in a bad mood: "Why are they playing tricks on us? What good does it do to others?"
Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "Of course it's good. He teased so many of us, and it's so embarrassing to tell the truth."
Yuchi Gong rolled his eyes and looked at Cheng Yaojin as if he were a fool. "Is he mentally ill? He wants this kind of face? He is not afraid of angering His Highness. His Highness sent troops to attack the Liang Kingdom in anger.
Slaughter the entire Liang Kingdom?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe I don't care about this."
Yuchi Gong rolled his eyes again, not wanting to talk to Cheng Yaojin anymore.
Cheng Yaojin was just messing around and making jokes.
At this time, Li Shimin happened to finish eating the fish that Yuchi Gong offered as tribute. Hearing the conversation between the two of them, he wiped the oil on his beard with satisfaction and said: "I don't know what kind of person Liang Luoren is. But he doesn't need to be in this kind of situation."
Playing tricks on us because it does him no good, but does great harm."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji and said: "However, you, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, came here to meet a minion under Master Liang before the war. It is obviously beneath your status."
In terms of territory, the Tang Dynasty was nearly a hundred times larger than the Liang Kingdom. The leader of the Liang Kingdom was equivalent to the governor of a large state in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji, a prince overseeing the country in the Tang Dynasty, came here to meet a younger brother of the governor. It was indeed beneath his status.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and said nothing.
He didn't really come here to see Liang Luoren, he came here for the Ashina Simo that Liang Luoren said.
If Li Shimin felt that it was beneath his status to come to see Ashina Simo, what about the historical record that he sucked Ashina Simo's blood himself?
"Go and let the scouts continue their investigation. Once they discover Liang Luoren's whereabouts, report back immediately."
Li Yuanji gave instructions to Zhao Chengyong.
After Zhao Chengyong grunted, he went down to deliver the order.
In the evening.
The scouts sent back news that they had found traces of Liang Luoren and his party, but there were some changes.
"What variable?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin bullying Yuchi Gong. Yuchigong didn't dare to say anything and could only let others bully him. He turned his head and asked Zhao Chengyong.
Zhao Chengyong cupped his hands and said: "Liang Luoren led more than three thousand soldiers and horses, many of whom are Turks."
Zhao Chengyong's voice seemed a little heavy.
Because the troops and horses led by Liang Luoren were a bit excessive.
It was just a meeting. Li Yuanji brought more than 3,000 people. That was due to his status. Liang Luoren, a younger brother of the provincial governor, actually brought 3,000 people, many of whom were Turks.
Then one has to wonder whether Liang Luoren's purpose in proposing to meet Li Yuanji was simple.
Li Shimin immediately stopped and asked Yuchi Gong to drive away the flying catkins for him. Cheng Yaojin also put down the rabbit he had just skinned. After Yuchi Gong stopped driving away the flying catkins, he involuntarily walked towards his weapon.
"What do we do now?"
Zhao Chengyong asked for instructions with a solemn expression.
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Send someone to interrogate and find out why Liang Luoren brought so many people. Everything else remains as usual."
"Still as usual?!"
Li Shimin suddenly stood up and stared, "You don't want your life?"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong nodded in agreement.
Although they all have the courage to be invincible, but they know that there is danger but do not make any preparations. In their opinion, they are looking for death.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and motioned for Li Shimin to sit down.
"Second brother, please be patient. There are only 3,000 people. I can't take your life or mine."
"It's hard to say. Back then, we defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000-strong army with just a few thousand Xuanjia troops..."
This was said by Cheng Yaojin, who kept glancing at Li Shimin while speaking.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Do you think I am Dou Jiande, or do you think Liang Luoren is my second brother?"
Cheng Yaojin was instantly speechless.
Yuchi Gong secretly reminded Cheng Yaojin not to act blindly.
If the Liang Kingdom, and even the Turks, had soldiers and horses comparable to the Xuanjia Army, then the Liang Kingdom would have risen long ago, and the Turks would have been unified long ago.
After all, in the face of absolute strength, everything else is rubbish.
Obviously, neither the Liang Kingdom nor the Turks have this strength.
It's not that they don't want to have this strength, it's not that they can't have this strength, it's that they simply can't have this strength.
Because they can't afford it.
They cannot afford to support even a thousand-man Xuanjia Army.
They can't even build the weapons needed for a thousand mysterious armors.
After all, the Tang Dynasty only established a Xuanjia Army of 3,000 people and was able to support a Xuanjia Army of 3,000 people even when it occupied two-fifths of the country.
With the limited territory of the Liang Kingdom, it is enough to build a Xuanjia Army of three to four hundred men and raise a Xuanjia Army of three to four hundred men. Raising a thousand would not even occur to the Liang Master unless they even think about it.
With the Turks' political system in which each tribal leader acted independently, Jieli had no way of pooling resources together to build the Xuanjia Army, let alone raise the Xuanjia Army.
Therefore, neither the Liang Kingdom nor the Turks could send out the Xuanjia Army.
Since it is not the Xuanjia Army, how can the three thousand men under Liang Luoren threaten the three thousand elites of the Tang Dynasty?
When the elite of the Tang Dynasty were created by blowing up?
"Of course Liang Luoren can't compare with Qin... Er Shaolang, but be careful and you won't make a big mistake..."
Yuchi Gong whispered something for Cheng Yaojin.
When calling Li Shimin, I thought for a long time and came up with the title Er Shao Lang.
This is discussed from Li Yuan's side.
Now from Li Shimin's side, he would be called Erlang.
The problem is that if he calls Li Shimin Erlang, Li Shimin still can't torture him to death?!
Even if Li Shimin is defeated, he cannot be bullied.
"How about I lead the army to defeat them first, and then capture Liang Luoren, so that you are no longer in danger?"
Li Yuanji stared at Yuchi Gong and said.
Yuchi Gong was also shocked and speechless.
Let a big prince run to kill the enemy to protect him, he doesn't have that much face.
"Knowing integrity and respecting virtue are also for your own good."
Although Li Shimin couldn't stand it when Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong followed Li Yuanji's lead, he also couldn't stand it when Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were bullied, so he immediately spoke out to support Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin with a half-smile, and said indifferently: "There is something I didn't tell you, and you don't know yet, that is, the people who came to meet me this time, in addition to Liang Luoren, there is also the Turkic Jiabite
Le.
So it’s normal for them to have Turks among them, and it’s normal for them to have more people.”
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were confused.
They are in Daizhou, how come they don’t know this news?!
