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

Jieli Khan besieged the city for a day, but failed to attack it.

That night, the army retreated to the north bank of the Wei River to set up camp.

Jieli Khan was sitting in the king's tent, drinking kumiss and eating roast mutton. He always felt that something was wrong.

"Li Changqing carries a Fangtian painted halberd with him, but today on the city wall, he is not seen holding the halberd!"

"He has always been fierce in leading troops in battles. One thousand and eight hundred men dared to charge and kill my 30,000-strong tiger division formation. But today, he has shrunk in the city and lost all his former grace!"

"These two points are really puzzling!"

Thinking about it, suddenly, Jieli Khan was so happy that a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Then, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was filled with anger. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and split the desk in front of him into pieces with one blow. The two halves roared:"Tang Jun deceived me!"

He figured it out. All the doubts in his heart were answered.

Why didn't Li Changqing on the city wall carry Fang Tian's painted halberd with him?

Why did Li Changqing, who was always fierce, dared to charge into the battle alone, and was extremely domineering, since he was leading the white-robed army? Rushing to Chang'an, but choose to shrink the city?

All because the Li Changqing on the city wall is fake!

The three-foot-long and eight-hundred-jin Fang Tian Hua Ji, only Li Changqing in the world can wield it!

That's why the fake Li Changqing on the city wall is missing Carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd.

He rushed into the battle alone and regarded thousands of troops as nothing. Only Li Changqing could do it.

Therefore, the defenders on the city wall did not open the city gates and actively fight, but still huddled in the city!

"Someone come! Quickly gather your troops and attack the city at starry night!"

Jieli Khan was so angry that he beat drums all night and gathered his generals to attack Chang'an!

Under the starlight, a tragic war broke out again!

……

This battle lasted for two days and two nights!

The Xuanjia Army, Imperial Guards, and Detachment of Women suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the three armies firmly defended the city, but the strength of the two sides was not proportional.

If it weren't for the magnificent city wall of Chang'an, it would have been breached long ago!

The fifth day when the Turkic army attacked Chang'an.

The soldiers and civilians in Chang'an were in a state of gloom and gloom.

The Turkic army outside the city was like an ancient sacred mountain, pressing on them, making people feel chest tight and suffocating.

The total number of soldiers and soldiers who can fight in the city does not exceed 30,000.

And the Turks still have more than 200,000 capable soldiers!

As the war continues, Chang'an's situation becomes more and more dangerous!

This tug-of-war is extremely detrimental to the Chang'an defenders!

……

In the large tent of the Turkic Army, the scouts brought news and reported to Jieli Khan

"Khan, three days ago, Li Changqing led 15,000 dragon cavalry guards southward to aid Chang'an.

His general Li Jing led 100,000 Mo Dao Guards deep into the desert and madly massacred the nomadic tribes in Monan."

After hearing these two pieces of information, Jieli Khan felt his head tighten, and a cold air rose from the soles of his feet and went straight to Tianling Gai.

His whole body shivered involuntarily, and his face was full of fear.

He led an army of 200,000 Turks and joined forces with Tibet to attack Chang'an. The desert was completely empty.

One hundred thousand Mo Dao Guards penetrated deep into the desert. Who could resist?

Aren't the desert nomads just like fish on the chopping board of the Mo Dao Guards, ready to be slaughtered!

Almost! It doesn't take much thinking to know that in the past three days, the entire Monan will be bleeding like rivers at the hands of Modao Guards.

He murmured to himself:"The marching speed of 15,000 cavalry will take seven or eight days no matter how fast it is. Even if the dragon cavalry guards were the best in the world, it would still take six days to get here from Youzhou.

Three days have passed since Li Changqing set out. The time left for Ben Khan to attack Chang'an was only two days at most.

Two days later, if we do not evacuate in time and Li Changqing leads the dragoon guards to arrive, our army will surely suffer heavy casualties and will be unable to capture Chang'an."

As he spoke, a sharp and decisive light burst out from his eyes, saying:

"If they fail to capture Chang'an after another two days of fierce attack, they will return to the desert to prevent Modao Guards from continuing to massacre the tribesmen!"

……

At the same time, Chang'an.

Li Shimin discussed with his advisers and generals how to deal with the enemy.

Everyone was silent for a long time, but no one came up with any strategies to defeat the enemy.

Finally, Hou Junji said:"King Qin, give up Chang'an and flee to Luoyang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn.

Everyone wanted to refute Hou Junji's proposal, but found that there was no better way.

Li Shimin shouted:"Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, how can we give up so easily!

If Chang'an is destroyed by the Turks, it will be China's shame! You and I are both historical sinners and will be reviled by the world!

No matter what, Chang'an must be defended!""

Since this period of time, Li Shimin has been extremely depressed.

The ninth day of November was supposed to be the day when Li Yuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

As a result, Jieli Khan led an army of 250,000 troops to the city, and he had to postpone the date of his throne.

Since the war, the hope of holding Chang'an has become increasingly slim.

He also knew that Chang'an would be defeated, and giving up Chang'an was the wisest choice.

However, once he abandons Chang'an and allows the Turks to overwhelm the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely be reviled by the people all over the world!

By then, even if Li Yuan ascends the throne, he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne!

When everyone was silent, Changsun Wuji suddenly said in a deep voice:"There is only one way to defend Chang'an!"

With a flash, everyone present immediately focused their attention on Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin asked eagerly:"What can the auxiliary machine do? Tell me quickly!"

Changsun Wuji's face darkened and he slowly uttered a few words:

"They made peace with each other, donated money and silk, and established friendship between the two ethnic groups!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. The Tang Dynasty and the Turks had already been killed and inseparable.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty made peace, donated money and silk, and took the initiative to establish friendship between the two tribes. It was tantamount to begging for surrender! It was tantamount to asking the Turks for surrender. Bow down!

Changsun Wuji continued:"For the present plan, only by giving Jieli Khan enough benefits will he be able to retreat. Otherwise, Chang'an will be destroyed in three days at most!"

Li Shimin sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, thinking about the gains and losses.

After a long time, he raised his blood-red eyes and said:

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was empty. Jieli took advantage of the situation and pushed us to the edge!

In order to protect Chang'an, this king has decided to listen to the advice of the auxiliary officials, follow the example of the previous dynasty, give gold and silk to the Turks, make peace with the Turks, and establish friendship between the two ethnic groups!"

"Clang!"

After saying that, Li Shimin suddenly pulled out his sword, cut the palm of his left hand, and swore to the sky:

"Today, the Turkic horses are trampling Chang'an. I, the king, can only beg for surrender and surrender to save Chang'an.

This is my shame, Li Shimin! This is the shame of the Tang Dynasty!

In the coming days, I will personally lead an army of millions to crush the Turks!

If you violate this oath, both heaven and man will be killed!"
