Chapter 757 755 anger
Li Shimin saw that the army's spirit was available, and shouted: "Let's go!"
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The melodious horn sounded, and the soldiers, led by generals at all levels, began to move slowly.
Li Shimin looked at Li Daozong and others in the audience and said: "Everyone, I am waiting for your good news."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this battle will be won!" Li Daozong shouted loudly.
"This battle must be won!" Cheng Yaojin and others also shouted in unison.
After shouting for a while, everyone saluted Li Shimin, then got on the horses led by the soldiers, bowed to Li Shimin again, and rode their horses to their respective troops.
Li Shimin stood there for a while, then returned to the palace.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, after setting off in the morning, until nearly noon, the last part did not leave.
Even ordinary people in Chang'an knew about such a big movement, so naturally they couldn't hide it from the foreign spies in Chang'an.
Those spies had already heard the news when Datang assembled the army to swear, and they sent people to inquire one after another, wanting to know who Datang's target was.
However, Baiqi arranged a large number of eyeliners around Chang'an, and those spies were arrested before they even got close.
After several spies were sent to no avail, hidden spies from various countries did not dare to send anyone again.
Although Li Shimin yelled very loudly when he took the vows, the spies from various countries were too far away to hear them. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shouted "war" in unison, but they did hear them.
When they found out that Li Shimin had returned to the city, they quickly sent people to check again.
In the end, it can only be found out that the soldiers and horses of Datang went to the north, and it is not known which country they will attack.
Those spies whose countries were not in the north breathed a sigh of relief.
And those countries in the north, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly arranged for people to send letters back quickly.
……
Western Turkic Court
Although there is civil strife in Western Turks, Yuan Qi still occupies the royal court.
In the king's tent, people are drinking hotly.
"General Batu, ever since you led Xue Yantuo's troops, Tong Eshe has calmed down. It's just that this stalemate is not an option. Ben Khan is going to take the initiative to attack. I wonder if General Batu can lead troops to join the battle?" Yuan Qi laughed.
Batu didn't answer Yuan Qi's words, but picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp. Because he drank so fast, a lot of wine flowed down his neck and onto his open chest.
Batu put down the bowl, wiped his mouth casually, and then said: "King Zuo Xian, my Da Khan only asked me to help you resist Tong'e's attack, and did not ask me to help you attack him. Not long ago, Nishu That’s why Xue Yantuo suffered heavy losses, if Dahan insisted that I bring troops to help you, do you think I would come?”
When Yuan Qi heard Batu calling him Zuo Xianwang, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He called himself Ben Khan, and the tribal leaders under him also called him Great Khan, but Batu kept calling him King Zuoxian as if he had never heard of it.
If it weren't for relying on Batu's soldiers and horses, Yuan Qi would have exploded long ago.
The effect of Batu's arrival is obvious. Tong Eshe, who was planning to launch an attack, immediately stopped gathering troops and took a defensive position.
Tong'e set up to do this because he wanted to send someone to Xue Yantuo to find out Xue Yantuo's attitude first.
But Yuan Qi felt that Tong'e She was afraid. He never thought that his own strength was much worse than Tong'e's. Now that he had Xue Yantuo's reinforcements, he felt that Tong'e She could be completely eliminated.
For several consecutive days, Yenqi hosted several banquets for Batu, implying that Batu sent troops to help him attack Xue Yantuo.
However, Batu would never refuse Yuan Qi's banquet, he should eat and drink, but he didn't seem to hear Yuan Qi's hint.
Yuan Qi finally couldn't bear it today, so he pointed it out directly.
And what Batu said later made Yuan Qi's face turn red with anger.
"Presumptuous, you actually humiliated Da Khan so much!"
The leaders of the ministries glared at Batu one after another.
It's not that they are loyal to Yuan Qi, but that after Batu came, they stopped looking at them, and they were already upset with Batu.
It's just that they needed Batu's help to resist Tong'e's attack, so they had been enduring it. Now that Batu was unwilling to send troops to attack Tong'e, they couldn't bear it anymore.
"If you feel that you don't need my reinforcements from Xue Yantuo, I can take them back." Batu said lightly.
The reason why Batu was so confident was because he knew that Yuan Qi wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Leaving aside his [-] soldiers and horses, the mere existence of Tong Eshe made Yuan Qi dare not offend Xue Yantuo.
Qilaobateer hurriedly came out to smooth things over, saying: "Khan, this is not the time to talk about these things, let's discuss this matter another day."
Although Yuan Qi is an idiot, he also knows that he can't offend Xue Yantuo now. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Ben Khan is drunk and talked drunk. He only drinks today. Anyone who wants to say anything else will be fined." bowl."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Qi picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.
Then there was a bit of silence, without the enthusiasm at the beginning.
Yuan Qi was in a very bad mood by Batu. Seeing this, he wanted to announce the end. At this moment, the soldiers guarding outside came in and saluted: "Khan, there is an envoy from Xue Yantuo outside, saying that I am in a hurry to find General Batu."
"Xue Yantuo's emissary?" Yuan Qi was slightly taken aback, and looked at Batu.
Hearing this, Batu got up and said, "King Zuo Xian, my Great Khan sent an envoy, it must be something important, I will take my leave first."
"Well, then Ben Khan will not keep General Batu." Yuan Qi said.
After Batu left, Yuan Qi looked at Qilao Batel and said, "Yi Nan sent someone here at this time, and he is so eager to find Batu, is it because he wants to retreat?"
…………
Many people questioned what the author wrote earlier about the matter of concubines raising their own children, thinking it was impossible.
Explain here.
Anyone who has watched TV dramas about Wu Zetian knows that Wu Zetian killed his own child and blamed the queen.
Many people think that this incident is fake, and some people think it is true.
It is recorded in "New Tang Book" that "Zhaoyi gave birth to a daughter, and then she went to Gu Nong. Zhaoyi hid her son under the quilt and waited for the emperor to arrive. Yang was happy to say that she cast a quilt and looked at her son. She died. She was shocked and asked the left and right. , all said: "Later, it's time to come. Zhaoyi was weeping, but the emperor couldn't detect it, and said angrily: "I will kill my daughter, and I will be greedy with my concubine, and now you are evil?"
The translation of this passage is that Wu Zetian gave birth to a daughter, and Queen Wang came to see her specially.But after Queen Wang left, Wu Zetian quietly smothered her daughter to death.Then Li Zhi came over and saw that his daughter was dead, so he asked people around him what was going on very angrily. They all said that Queen Wang had just come, so Li Zhi thought it was Queen Wang who did it.
It is believed to be true because it is recorded in history books.
I think it is false because the record of this incident is too detailed. If Wu Zetian really killed her own child, she would definitely do it very secretly and would not tell others. How did the historian know?
It is for this reason that there has been no conclusion about the truth of this matter.
Many people think that the emperors after the Tang Dynasty wanted to blacken Wu Zetian, so there is such a record.
We have no way of verifying that Wu Zetian killed the children, but there is one thing recorded here, that is, Wu Zetian brought the children by himself.
Since it was going to be in the dark, it was impossible to leave such an obvious loophole.
Many people may want to say, isn't it normal for Li Zhi to dote on Wu Zetian and let her take care of her own children?
In fact, this problem is not normal at all. At that time, Li Zhi was not in power, and the power in the court was controlled by the aristocratic family, and the queen and queen represented the aristocratic family.
Excuse me, if Wu Zetian brought up children, it violated the ancestral system, and the people of the family would not make a fuss about it?
This is just a personal opinion, everyone just look at it and laugh, it’s fine, and there is no need to take it seriously.
