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

Li Shimin asked again:"You knew that it would rain in the next two days by observing the sky, so you arranged for the Detachment of Women to go to the Wei River to block the embankment early. You also told the people of Chang'an that every household must make rafts.

But what about the Dragon Cavalry Guards? You sent five thousand Dragon Cavalry The guards left the city, why?"

Before Li Changqing could speak, Li Xiuning led a team of dragon-riding guards and escorted Jieli Khan up the city wall.

Li Xiuning looked happy and said:"Ziguan, it's exactly what you expected. As soon as the flood came, Jieli fled in panic to Xiaotu Mountain in the south of the city. The Dragon Cavalry Guard and I waited there, and we caught him!"

Hearing this, Li Shi The confusion in the hearts of the people is all clear.

No wonder Li Changqing still sent five thousand dragon cavalry guards out of the city even when the Turks were madly attacking the city. It turned out that he had calculated the escape route of Jieli Khan and wanted to intercept him!

From observing the sky, he predicted that there would be heavy rains in the next two days, and then quickly arranged for the Detachment of Women to go to the Weishui River to block the embankment, and asked Li Xiuning to lead five thousand dragon cavalry guards in advance to wait for Jieli Khan who fled because of the flood.

This series of meticulous plans made Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji secretly frightened, and at the same time they became even more wary of Li Changqing.

Such a plan is really shocking!

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and both saw deep fear and worry in each other's eyes.

They have long regarded Li Changqing as their biggest opponent. Li Changqing was originally an invincible general on the battlefield, and now he has shown his ability to make all kinds of calculations. How can they not be frightened?

Li Changqing smiled at Li Xiuning and said:"Chang'an is flooded. Although the people of Chang'an City have prepared bamboo rafts, many people will still fall into the water. I have asked Yao Jin to lead the dragon cavalry to rescue the people who fell into the water, but Yao Jin After all, Jin is careless, so Xiuning needs you to go there in person."

Li Xiuning nodded lightly, said a few words to Li Changqing, then climbed down the city wall to command the dragon cavalry guards to rescue the people who fell into the water.

After Li Xiuning left, Li Changqing turned his attention to Jieli Khan.

Although he had become a prisoner, Jieli Khan did not show any fear on his face and was still full of defiance.

"Jieli, you, the Turks, took advantage of the fact that the civil war in the Central Plains had just ended and that the people of the Tang Empire were in dire straits and that everything was in ruins. You invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty repeatedly, burning, killing and looting everywhere, bringing endless suffering to the people on the border. Put Teman in a dangerous situation. In water and fire.

First, he led an army of 300,000 to attack Youzhou, and then took advantage of Tibet to attack Chang'an with an army of 250,000. It can be said to be majestic and unparalleled.

Have you ever thought that one day, you will become a prisoner in the tent of others?"

Jieli Khan looked at Li Changqing, with blazing anger in his eyes.

He was supposed to be all-powerful in his life.

But since he met Li Changqing, he has been in trouble everywhere. In the battle of Youzhou, the Turkic royal court was crushed.

Chang'an was besieged for seven days. , the city was broken at the moment.

As a result, Li Changqing led the dragon cavalry guards to rush to help, and tried to turn the tide. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, he flooded his 180,000 army!

Victory or defeat, the situation was reversed, all in an instant.

Suffering such major setbacks in succession made him want to eat Li Changqing's flesh and drink his blood.

"Ben Khan traveled across the desert and never resisted. Although I hate you in my heart, I have to admit that you, Li Changqing, are an opponent worthy of admiration and respect.

The successful king and the defeated bandit are now captured by you. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, please do as you please. If Ben Khan frowns, he is not an eagle in the desert! Li Changqing said:"

Below Youzhou City, you shot dozens of your own children to death one by one with your own hands, and everyone admired you." Taking advantage of Tubo, he led an army of 250,000 to attack Chang'an with thunderous force, and everyone admired him.

But you and I, the Han people, have forged too many bloody feuds. Tomorrow, I will use your head as a blood sacrifice to the dead souls of the Tang Dynasty. He swore an oath to go out and kill all the Turks and flatten Langjuxu Mountain. Exhibit the power of the Tang Dynasty to shock the barbarians in all directions."

When Jieli Khan heard this, he was shocked and his face was full of horror.

He led an army of 200,000 people and took advantage of Tubo to take Chang'an.

Now the 200,000 troops were completely wiped out, and the Turkic troops were reduced by several percent.

Again In addition, after his death, the group of dragons was leaderless, and the nomadic tribes in the desert might really be exterminated by Li Changqing!

His body trembled, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Finally, he sighed and said:"Should I regret it in the first place?" I am determined to attack Youzhou, but I regret that I should not have become your enemy, Li Changqing. Otherwise, why would our Turks be like this!"

Besides, Li Shimin sneered and said,"Jie Li! You invade my country and kill my people. I should have known this would happen!"

Jieli Khan glanced at Li Shimin with disdain and said sarcastically:"If Li Changqing had arrived two days later, Chang'an would have been crushed by this Khan. How dare you, a beggar and bower, speak out in front of this Khan?"

"you!"

Li Shimin was angry and annoyed, and his face turned red with shame. Jieli Khan sneered and ignored him.

Even though they were already prisoners, they still looked down on Li Shimin. This attitude made Li Shimin so angry that he wanted to be stabbed. Beheaded him.

Li Changqing ordered the people around him, saying:"Take Jieli down and behead him at the east city gate at noon tomorrow under the watchful eyes of the people in Chang'an." I want to use the head of the Turkic Khan to pay tribute to the souls of the Tang Dynasty who died in the war."

"promise!"

The left and right stepped forward and led Jieli Khan down the city tower.

Li Changqing stood on the city wall and commanded the three armies.

……

The next day, the flood receded and the Battle of Chang'an came to an end.

In this battle, the Xuanjia Army, the Imperial Guards, the Women's Army, and the Dragon Cavalry Guard combined together lost 63,500 people.

The scale of casualties is extremely heavy!

The Turks and Tibetans combined a total of 250,000 troops, and as many as 220,000 were killed or drowned in battle!

Another 30,000 soldiers were captured in the flood.

This battle showed the bloody spirit of the Tang Dynasty and the might of the Tang Dynasty!

All the people in the city cheered and celebrated.

In Chang'an City, all the major storytellers were excitedly telling the story of the war.

《King Wu observed the celestial phenomena at night and flooded the Turkic army of 180,000 people" is even passed down orally by the people.

A poem written by Yu Shinan to praise Li Changqing gradually spread and was widely praised by the people.

The thunderous sound of war drums shakes the sky, and the flat ground of Chang'an becomes an abyss.

Who can match the King of Wu? China's reputation will be passed down forever!
