Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 546: Great Tang Victory

Xieli's hope is in the west. There are Tuyuhun and Gaochang countries. If they can go to these two countries, maybe they can find a place to live, and then they will slowly figure out a way to make a comeback—they are very happy to see the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, of course Will find a way to help the Turks.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

There is nothing wrong with Xieli's idea. However, many things cannot be done correctly with the right idea. It depends on whether God will give you a chance.

Obviously, Li Shimin claimed to be the Son of Heaven who was ordered by heaven, which may not be completely wrong. At least, God did not stand on Xieli's side.

Not to mention how hard it was for Xieli and his group to escape without food and water, anyway, they ran into the Datong army led by Li Daozong not long after they escaped.

Things went smoothly afterwards. After a battle that was not considered fierce at all, Zhang Baoxiang captured Xieli alive.

This Turkic Khan really became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty. The ending came suddenly and hastily, but it is not difficult to find out that from the time Xieli retreated without a fight, his ending was as doomed as Li Jing expected.

Datang won.

In a few days, the good news spread all the way back to the capital, and the atmosphere, which was a little depressing at first, suddenly became jubilant. After reading the report, Li Shiming slapped the table so happily that his hands hurt from the slap, and he grinned and gasped. Seeing this, the servant at the side hurriedly shouted in fear: "Tell the imperial physician, pass on the imperial physician!"

Li Shimin shook his hands, smiled and kicked the fussy servant, and said, "I'm not made of mud, so why are you so fragile? Stop screaming."

After finishing speaking, he read the news of victory several times as if he couldn't get enough of it: For almost three years, what he had been thinking about day and night was to put down the Turks, and now, he finally succeeded. This made him feel an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in his heart.

In a word, happy.

The shame of having to pretend to form an alliance with the Turkic people in Weishui back then has faded a bit.

You know, the conflict between the Turks and the Han has a long history. For the Turks, a unified Central Plains regime is a very dangerous existence. Therefore, the Turks have been committed to splitting the Central Plains. The situation of warlord separatism at the end of the Sui Dynasty was largely fueled by the Turks.

Once any force is strong enough to have a tendency to unify the Central Plains, the Turks will immediately support other forces to suppress it, and resolutely curb the signs of Central Plains unification. Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others all had some contact with Turkic people. In fact, when Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, he also pretended to ask for help from the Turks. These were all strategies that had to be done at the time.

Therefore, people who have always been in the Central Plains have a hostile attitude towards Turks. Among them are Yang Jian and Yang Guang-the Sui Dynasty once sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Turks, but they were finally defeated by the Turks. It is not shy to say that including Li Yuan and Li Shimin in the previous two years have actually suffered a lot from the Turks.

Therefore, the Turks naturally became the first difficulty on Li Shimin's road to becoming an emperor through the ages. He has vigorously developed production in the country, prepared forces, and secretly prepared various means to join forces with the Turkic Khan Tuli, isn't it all for today's results?

Based on this alone, Li Shimin's name will not be buried in the history of Datang.

Li Shimin thought of Li Xuandao, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. It's a pity that this elder brother didn't have the opportunity to share the happiness at this moment with him, and he didn't have the opportunity to say to Li Xuandao proudly: I did a good job, don't worry.
