The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

(Important cities in ancient times had secret passages, and you could enter and leave the city without going through the city gates.

First, you could report the battle situation on the front line and request support. Second, it would facilitate the escape of senior officials at critical moments.

Li Changqing returned to the city through the secret passage.）

……

Princess Yicheng, the daughter of the Sui clan.

In the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, in order to reconcile relations with the Turks, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty named the daughter of the clan as Princess Yicheng and married the Qimin Khan of the Eastern Turks.

Within a few years, Qimin Khan passed away. Princess Yicheng remarried Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan.

The next three generations of Khans were all sons of Qimin Khans.

Three years ago, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty ran to Fenyang Palace near Taiyuan to escape the summer heat.

During the northern patrol at the end of summer, they were surrounded by troops led by Shibi Khan of the Turks, and were about to be captured. The emperor and his ministers suddenly thought of Princess Yicheng.

So, secretly contacted Princess Yicheng.

Princess Yicheng was also extremely righteous and risked being killed to rescue Yang Guang.

She lied about a situation on the Turkic border and deceived Shibi Khan's troops, so that Yang Guang was able to escape back to Yanmen Pass.

A year and a half ago, the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil and Yang Guang died tragically.

Queen Xiao's beauty and beauty first fell into the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, and then she was captured by Dou Jiande. When she was desperate, it was Princess Yicheng who rescued Queen Xiao in the name of the Turkic Khan.

This is a fierce woman who is full of blood and looks forward to death.

However, even a fierce woman who looked down upon death could not see her beloved daughter being shot.

With red eyes, she begged Jieli Khan:"Great Khan, Yan'er is my only daughter, please don't kill her!"

Jieli Khan's hands holding the bow and arrow trembled slightly, and he didn't want to kill them one by one. What about your own children?

But there are no children, and they can be reborn.

If the troops retreat because of Li Changqing's threat, then the losses this time will be too heavy!

It was too severe for him to bear!

Seeing that Jieli Khan did not agree, Princess Yicheng hurriedly asked Li Changqing for help:

"General! I would like to propose that Ashina Yan be married to you, and we can cultivate friendship between Turks and the Tang Dynasty!"

Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty has always married princesses to foreigners to seek friendship between the two countries through marriage.

No Turkic princess has ever married a Central Plains dynasty to seek peace.

Li Changqing laughed and did not talk to Princess Yicheng. With just a wave of his right hand, a large group of Turkic princes and nobles, except Jieli Khan's wife, son, and daughter, were all brought to the city wall.

More than a hundred Turkic princes and nobles were lined up in a row.

Some of them were frightened. Weeping loudly, some people desperately called for help to their father who was outside the city.

The generals and leaders of the major tribes around Jieli Khan saw that their sons and daughters were also captured, and their faces turned pale with fright. They immediately stopped them. Jieli Khan's idea of ​​​​shooting the hostages and continuing to attack the city.

Jieli Khan was a hero and could sacrifice his wife, son and daughter for the sake of the king's hegemony.

But not his generals, nor the leaders of the tribes!

Once he insisted on ignoring the safety of the hostages, Attacking Youzhou by force, there is no guarantee that his generals and tribal leaders will rebel!

Seeing a large number of hostages on the city wall, Jieli Khan's eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and the knuckles of the hand holding the bow and arrow turned white from the excessive exertion.

"Li Changqing!"

"This Khan is at odds with you!"

He roared angrily, and the blazing anger in his eyes could burn everything.

There were so many hostages, but he had to wait until he killed his own son and daughter with one arrow before releasing them.

In his heart I am extremely sure that Li Changqing must have done it on purpose!

If he had pushed out so many hostages from the beginning, because of his generals and tribal leaders, even if Jieli Khan was unwilling, he would have no choice but to retreat obediently.

But now , all his sons and daughters were dead, leaving Ashina Haier alone!

Li Changqing stood on the city wall, looked at Jieli Khan coldly, and said:"Jieli, take your army back to the desert , I released these hostages on the city wall. From now on, every hundred breaths, I will randomly kill a hostage."

Jieli Khan's angry body kept swaying.

A quarter of an hour ago, he was full of ambition and arrogant.

A quarter of an hour later, he was constrained and allowed to be manipulated.

Withdrawal, the royal court was breached, and the Eighth Prince's 100,000 troops attacked the city. More than 40,000 troops died in vain. The losses in this battle were too heavy.

If they do not retreat, the hostages will be killed one by one, and the generals and tribal leaders under their command will definitely rebel.

Unlike the Central Plains Dynasty, the Turks can command all the soldiers.

The system of the Turkic army is a ladder system. The Khan orders the tribal leaders, and the tribal leaders order their own tribesmen.

Once the tribal leaders rebel, the consequences are unimaginable.

"puff!"

Just when Jieli Khan was deep in thought, a hundred breaths had passed.

On the city wall, the huge head of a Turkic man rose into the sky, and hot blood splashed three feet high!

"My son!"A tribal leader saw his son's head being chopped off with his own eyes. His eyes were split with tears and he was mad with hatred.

"Wow ya ya ya! Tang Jun villain, hateful! hateful!"

No matter how furious he was, he didn't dare to attack Li Changqing.

Because he still had children on the city wall!

He could only widen his eyes angrily, panting heavily and said to Jieli Khan:"Khan, retreat!"

The rest of the tribal leaders and generals who had their children as hostages on the city wall also surrounded Jieli Khan and asked him to retreat.

Jieli Khan raised his head, with red eyes, looking at Li Changqing.

After a long time, he finally He shouted extremely unwillingly:"This Khan agrees to your conditions and retreats to the desert!"

After saying that, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar from his waist and chopped off the huge head of the white horse sitting on him with one knife. He looked up to the sky with great anger and roared:"I swear by the white horse sitting on the horse that I will behead Li Changqing's son one day. Take revenge today!"
