"What! Alliance?"

"You also want to hire Turks to fight Tuyuhun?"

Hou Junji and Li Ji stared at Li Mu with wide eyes, and it was not enough to describe it as dumbfounded. They were already "stunned". The day before, the enemy was still the one who wanted to fight a life-and-death battle, and they would meet an alliance the next day, and they had to make a clear way to let the Turkic cavalry fight Tuyuhun through the territory of the Tang Dynasty. What is this operation?

Telling a wolf into the house? Destroying Guo in a fake way? Water in his brain?

"No, absolutely not!"

Both of them shook their heads and refused to agree. Yesterday's "Helping Banquet", both of them did not participate in the excuse of not attending the "Helping Banquet" just to leave room for room. Although Li Mu held the Shangfang Sword, he did not lead the troops and did not control the tiger talisman. If Li Ji and Hou Junji bit to death and refused to obey his orders, Li Mu would have no choice. The crime of disobeying Shangfang Sword is big and small, but no matter how big it is, it is too great to lose the war.

Not to mention Li Ji, even Hou Junji would not be wrongly judged.

"Li Mu, the current situation has achieved its initial goal. As long as the Turks abide by the agreement and retreat, we can go back to the court. As long as the Western Turks retreat, the rebellion of the Four Barbarians can be resolved. Without the restraint of the Western Turks, they dare not provoke the Tang Dynasty. Why do you have to make trouble? If you let the Turks come in, what if they regret it and attack us directly? What should you do? Have you ever thought about this consequence?"

"I thought about it." Li Mu said calmly: "I thought about it very seriously, so I made such a decision."

"What's the meaning!"

Li Mu sat upright and said seriously: "Two, please listen to my analysis. Now we have control over Nishu. We can be said to have the initiative. What we say and what they should do, but who knows whether what they say is true or false? I don't believe in any covenant or swearing."

Li Ji frowned and said, "Since you don't believe it, why do you still have to do such a stupid thing?"

"No, what I want to do is definitely not a fool!" Li Mu said seriously: "I want them to vote for a letter of fame!"

Hou Junji frowned and said, "Saying a name? What does it mean?"

Li Mu thought that the Tang Dynasty had not yet surrendered to the name of a lie, so he explained patiently: "The meaning of a lie is that, for example, if a person wants to become a bandit, he has to kill an official. Only by committing a crime can he gain the trust of the bandits--"

Hou Junji said anxiously: "Oh, I naturally understand what the letter of apology means. I am asking you what letter of apology you want to ask them for!"

"Didn't you say that, let them fight Tuyuhun!" Li Mu smiled sinisterly and said, "I have found out that the person who attacked us that day was the King of Heavenly Pillar of Tuyuhun. His status was approximately equal to the Shangzhu Kingdom in the Central Plains, and he was a person below one person and above ten thousand people. The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks was about to break out, so the Shangzhu Kingdom could not hold back and wanted to find out the news and wait for an opportunity to provoke trouble."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Su Lie has been interrogated and learned that this time the King of Tianzhu traveled, brought about five thousand people, more than 1,000 of which were killed by Su Lie on the same day, and less than 3,000 were left. I asked the Nishu troops, the Beida cadres and the Bibi troops to each send two thousand people, a total of six thousand people to destroy these three thousand people. Kill the King of Tianzhu, and the revenge between the Western Turks and Tuyuhun will be settled."

"Also, I took advantage of Nishu's drunkenness to speak out from his mouth. It turned out that the main reason why Siyehu decided to advance east was because he was blocked from going north. After Nishu was driven to Yanqi, Siyehu had a battle with Xueyantuo in the north. Because many people were interested in Nishu and refused to work, this time the attack on Xueyantuo failed and suffered a lot of losses. The Western Turks and Xueyantuo also formed a mortal enemy. If they had an enemy with Tuguhun again, haha, there was Tuguhun in the south and Xueyantuo in the north. If the Western Turks did not make good friends with us, would they want to be attacked from three sides and be isolated and helpless?"

Li Ji and Hou Junji looked at each other, and were shocked. This boy's plan was too vicious.

"Also," said Li Muyouyou: "Xueyantuo in the north, after the destruction of the Eastern Turks, merged many tribes of the Eastern Turks, as well as some Tiel people. They can make the Western Turks suffer losses. Even if the Western Turks have not done their best, this is a strong force. The Tang Dynasty should take precautions in advance. Only by letting these alien races disagree with each other can the Tang Dynasty be as insightful as they can intervene and mediate at any time. But if they unite, it will be another Five Barbarians Rebellion, which is absolutely impossible."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the two and said, "After listening to the boy's explanation, what do the two generals think?"

Li Ji thought for a while and said, "If you say it is feasible, but I don't understand, Nishu won't be able to see it, how could he agree?"

"This is simple." Li Mu smiled and said, "At first of all, his life is still in my hands. I cannot let him go before the letter of the title is brought. Furthermore, Nishu is already focused on the Central Plains, which can be seen from the fact that most of his tribes can speak Chinese. Third, Siye Hu had just died and the Western Turks were facing division again. He urgently needed a strong support to stabilize his position, otherwise he, the great khan, would not be able to sit steadily."

Li Mu analyzed clearly, and Li Ji had nothing to say. Hou Junji always admired Li Ji in his strategy, although he had never admitted it. Seeing that Li Ji stopped talking, Hou Junji had no objection. He just said that he would immediately send a letter to Li Shimin to inform him of everything here. As the Minister of War, it was his duty.

Li Mu knew in his heart that this was a shirk, but he didn't care. Compared with what he promised Zhang Xun, this reckless crime was nothing.

This was agreed, and then Li Mu released Zepi and the envoys from the two ministries from the camp. In the evening, 6,000 troops from the three ministries came out of the valley and hurriedly passed by the Tang army camp. Under Su Lie's leadership, he went south to find the camp of the Tuyuhun Tianzhu King.

In the early morning of the next day, people outside the camp neighed and shouted. Li Mu, Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Nishu all came to the gate of the camp. They saw thousands of Turkic cavalry in front of the camp, and many of them had a head hanging around their waists. Under the whistling of Zepi, the people in front threw the heads to the ground, followed by the second and third ones, and there was another person next to them recording. In a short while, there were thousands of people, and they piled up into a small hill.

Li Ji looked at Li Mu and whispered: "This is..."

"I promised them one head, one jar and three cups."

At this time, Zepi pulled an old man of about fifty years old and asked him to kneel on the ground. He looked at Nishu and bowed respectfully, "Da Khan, the King of Heavenly Pillar of Tuyuhun has been captured! Please tell me!"

Nishu looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu glanced at Su Dingfang next to him. Su Dingfang nodded, and then waved his hand and his subordinates escorted out five living mouths that were left deliberately, grabbed their heads with their hands, opened their eyes, and let them look at their Heavenly Pillar King.

Li Mu smiled and pulled out Shangfang's sword and showed it to Nishu: "Nishu is the great khan, do you know this sword?"

Of course, Nishu knew that this was Shangfang's sword, but he still cooperated and pretended not to know and said in a daze: "Please give me advice from Zhulu Hou."

"This sword was originally called the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, which is an ancient sword of integrity and nobility. Legend has it that it was cast by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, and it has been a thousand years since then. The Supreme Emperor got this sword, and Jing Cong, the righteous man from all over the world, and he swore all his loyalty to seize the world. After His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, he avoided the name of the Supreme Emperor and changed it to the "Longquan Sword" and was named Shangfang Sword. Those who hold this sword have the imperial power to patrol the four directions on behalf of the emperor. There is the power to kill first and then report, and to kill and seize life and death."

Nishu was shocked and saluted quickly. Li Mu helped him up with a smile, continued to look at the Longquan sword, and sighed: "After I got this sword, I deeply felt the emperor's eager expectation for me. It is really a grand holy grace. I can't repay you if I die. At that time, I wrote a poem to express my feelings. I wonder if the Khan wants to listen to it?"

"I heard that Zhulu Hou had both outstanding poems and prose, so I naturally wanted to listen to it."

"Okay, then I will recite it and share with you."

Li Mu raised his sword, took a deep breath, and chanted: "Three-foot dragon spring ten thousand books, what is my will like to be born to me? If you can't serve the country and pacify the world, you will be a real man!"

"Good!" Nishu exclaimed repeatedly: "What a poem, it is concise and concise, and it fully describes the ambitions of life, and it will live up to the great grace of the emperor. The marquis is really a real man."

"It's easy to say, I'm also worried about my excellence," Li Mu smiled and suddenly stuffed Shangfang's sword into Nishu's hands. Nishu was stunned and struggled quickly. However, he was seriously injured and could not break free from Li Mu's strength, so he still held the sword in his hand.

"What does the Marquis mean?"

"When I saw that the Khan yearn for it, I wanted to be a beauty for adults. Why didn't the Khan be a real man? Tuguhun's wolf ambitions and wanted to provoke the brotherhood between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Nishu Dahan was a sworn brother of my emperor. Isn't he so angry? It's true that it is unbearable? Why didn't the Khan kill this villa in front of the two armies to make the friendship between the two countries?"

"you!"

Li Mu widened his eyes and said, "Don't the Khan want to?"

After saying that, he lowered his voice again and whispered: "If you don't want to, I will kill you, and the thousands of people in front of you will have to be buried with you!"

Nishu looked around and saw that many Tang soldiers had already drawn longbows in the hidden area, knowing that Li Mu was right. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Li Mu, you are so vicious. It turns out that you have never trusted me!"

"I once trusted Ju Zhisheng, how did he treat me? Khan, let's not talk. Let's see you in the matter. This is the most stable covenant!"

Nishu looked at Li Mu for a long time, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face. He held the Longquan Sword tightly and said loudly: "The Marquis's words are exactly what I say. The Tuyuhun people have no faith and righteousness. They are trying to make my brothers fight against each other. Their hearts are punishable. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood. If I don't kill him, it would not be enough to calm my anger. The Marquis takes a step aside and let me kill this thief!"

Li Mu hypocritically stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, Khan, everything is easy to discuss, don't provoke a war--"

"Mr. Don't persuade me. I will bear all the consequences." At that moment, Nishu pushed Li Mu away, raised his sword and stabbed him. The poor King of Tianzhu, who was above ten thousand people, did not even say a word of discernment, and his body and head were different, and blood splattered five steps.

Li Mu glanced at Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang nodded and pulled back with five survivors. They had to return to Tuyuhun well before this scene could be considered a complete play.

Nishu returned the Longquan sword to Li Mu and said, "It's indeed a sword, which is cut like mud, and the blade does not touch blood."

"Since Dahan likes it, why not lend it to Dahan and cut off a few more people?"

"No, no, no," Nishu waved his hand repeatedly, thinking to himself, how many days you lend me, I might be able to offend many people, and I can't be fooled. Nishu stuffed the sword back to Li Mu and said, "The sword of the emperor is worn by those who are virtuous. His Majesty the Emperor gave the sword of the Emperor to the Marquis. I cannot overcome it. This is disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor."

"That's right." Li Mu smiled and took the sword back, put it on his waist, and said aloud: "Today, all the soldiers have made great contributions. I will reward you on behalf of the emperor, and I will reward you according to the merits, and the wine and preparations are ready. The lamb is on the rack. I will eat and drink later. Tomorrow morning, I will send you back to the camp."

Zepi and others had no expression on their faces. They were still angry when Li Mu made a move. However, Nishu was very proud and said, "Don't you thank the Marquis and thank Khan Tian?"

Zepi and others had to shout, Li Mu smiled, returned the favor politely, turned around and returned to the camp, Nishu followed behind and apologized: "Mr. Marquis, don't blame me-"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm still very happy. I have a problem with this person. I like to see others hate me and have no choice but to do anything to me." After that, he looked at Li Ji and Hou Junji and said, "Two generals should accompany Nishu Khan to have a banquet. I have some things urgently need to be dealt with."

After saying that, Li Mu smiled at Nishu. Li Chongyi led a horse. Li Mu climbed onto the horse's back. The two brothers left the side door of the camp. Li Siwen was responsible for the celebration of the wine and could not leave without authorization. He had to look at the backs of Li Mu and Li Chongyi, sighed, cheered up again, and called on people to move wine and slaughter the sheep.

...

Li Mu left the Tang Army camp at this time, which was somewhat rude. After all, Nishu had just given a letter of fame and needed comfort, but he didn't want to do these things anymore. It was meaningless. He knew his own affairs. It was still a matter of whether he could survive when he returned to Chang'an this time. It was useless to have a good relationship with this and that. What really determines his destiny was Li Shimin's thoughts.

Since Nishu has been forced to stand on the chariot of the Tang Dynasty, the purpose is achieved, and other things are not important. What should I do or what to do. Li Mu's purpose this time was to propose marriage. He was delayed by so many things. At this time, the general situation was decided, so he naturally had to bring a bride gift and rush to Zhangjiaji to propose marriage. Yesterday he mentioned this matter to Zhang Tianai, and Zhang Tianai had already gone back one step earlier to prepare. Li Siwen also knew what Li Mu was going to do, so he was very regretful. He originally planned to ask for a glass of wedding wine.
