Chapter 264 Sixty thousand young men!
Li Simo walked outside Li Chengqian's tent and was not invited into it immediately. The guards told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was resting and ordered him to wait outside.
Li Simo's face became very ugly when he heard this. He was the Turkic Khan personally appointed by Li Shimin. He was ugly in front of people named Zhaowu Jiu...
After a while, the leaders of various tribes who came to participate in the Li Chengqian celebration meeting arrived one after another. Li Simo couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed when he saw these subordinates. When he didn't know how to speak, a few Shilifa, Sunon Weile, who saw the Sunon family, came forward with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Khan is waiting here, but I don't know what happened to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty summoning us?"
The Sunong family is one of the five major Turkic tribes under the Dingxiang Governor's Office. In the original Turkic tribe, the leader of the Sunong family was only one level lower than Li Simo's official position, and the current strength of the Sunong Ministry is no less than that of the Ashi tribe where Li Simo is located.
However, in recent decades, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has not produced any outstanding figures. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has no one to speak in the Tang Dynasty court, so Sunon Weile has always pleased Li Simo.
Seeing this, the other leaders greeted Li Simo. When Li Simo didn't know what to say, he saw Tutunfa, the slut, who was walking behind, looking at him with a smile without a smile, and then he sank his face and said nothing.
In this way, the Turkic tribes and the nine members of Zhaowu were silent outside Li Chengqian's tent.
Of course, these leaders of the Turkic tribes naturally looked down on the Jiu surname of Zhaowu. Seeing that the Jiu surname of Zhaowu was vaguely in opposition to them, the eyes of the Jiu surname of Zhaowu were full of anger.
At this time, Zhaowu Jiu's surname also understood what Li Chengqian meant, which was to let him and Li Simo break up with each other publicly.
They turned out to be slaves of the Ashin family. At this time, they saw Li Simo hating them to the core, but they could only glar. Although they were all down on their faces, they were already happy.
Li Chengqian, the initiator, was naturally clear about everything outside the Central Army's tent, but Li Chengqian felt that they were not embarrassed enough and wanted to add some seasoning to them.
A smile flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes and said to Liu Kui: "Go and tell Li Chengqian that the Lone King of Lone is ready to rest and let him come in to see him."
Liu Kui held back his smile when she heard this, and took a small step to step out of the big tent and said proudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has rested, and it is said that General Li Simo will see you."
When the people on both sides of the central army tent heard this, they couldn't help but look at Liu Kui. The elders of Zhaowu's Jiu surname were fine. They knew that Li Chengqian was going to provoke the relationship between them and Li Simo today, so they deliberately gave Li Simo's face in front of everyone.
However, those Turks' Shi Lifa were a little unacceptable for a while. They had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty looked down on the Turkic tribes but was always alert to them.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty court was quite polite to some leaders of the Turkic tribe. These leaders believed that they had fought for the Tang Dynasty and no longer wanted to remember the miserable appearance of their tragic appearance of lying at the foot of the Tang Dynasty when the Geely Khan tent was broken by the Tang Dynasty wolf.
Now Li Chengqian is obviously humiliating their nominal Khan in public, and he can't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Li Simo was also stunned when she heard this, her face turned red and didn't know what to do.
"Your Highness General Li tells you to enter the tent!" Liu Kui said with an unhappy expression on his face.
"ah!"
Can an eunuch show Li Simo's face at any time?
It was quiet in front of the big tent.
Li Simo's face turned pale, but he knew that he could not turn against Li Chengqian at this time, and it was even more embarrassing to have a dispute with Liu Kui, so he walked into the central army's tent without saying a word.
"Hmph, if you don't have the ability, you will be looked down upon by others." Zhi Shiqi, who was standing behind the Turkic side, replied in a cold voice.
The current Shi Lifa Zhishi's power not only upholds Li Yuan's ninth princess, but also is valued by Li Shimin. At this time, he is guarding the Western Regions with Guo Xiaoke.
Because Li Simo is not strong in ability, he is above Zhishi's power. Although Zhishi's power knows that this is a check and balance technique in the Tang Dynasty, many other people in Zhishi's power are dissatisfied.
Therefore, when he was humiliated, he not only did not have the idea of sharing the same hatred of the enemy, but he felt very pleased.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Simo with an iron-faced look and saluted him hard, knowing that his plan had succeeded.
He raised his hand slightly with a calm expression to signal him to flatten, and then said to him lightly: "The Lone King has been too busy these days and has been uncomfortable, so the general has been waiting for a long time."
Li Simo saw Li Chengqian leaning lazily on the back of the tiger-skin chair, thinking that Li Chengqian was really sick and wanted to come outside to do anything about the matter outside.
He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well and he is still busy with the country. It's nothing to wait outside for a while."
Li Chengqian heard the words and said lightly, and when Li Simo straightened up, he said, "The slaves of the Jiu surname of Zhaowu found the Gu Wang and asked Gu Wang to take them in. Gu Wang Wang thought that they were also people of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Wang should protect them, but they were originally slaves of your Ashin tribe, and I wonder what the general would think?"
Li Simo really wanted to curse after hearing this (if he could)
What do you mean to protect them?
Should you protect them and ask me what I do?
Of course, Li Simo also knew that since the nine surnames of Zhaowu were determined to lean against Li Chengqian, he had no way to keep them.
So they said to Li Chengqian with great sensibility and practicality: "It is their fate that they can get the protection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It's good that you can think like this." After that, he looked at Li Simo again, and saw that he had no expression before continuing: "The general helped the orphan king Ping to destroy Xue Yantuo and made great contributions. The father has always been very clear about the rewards and punishments of the general. He will be rewarded with great rewards."
When Li Simo heard Li Chengqian mention Li Shimin, he hurriedly said sincerely: "I have always been convinced by Your Majesty, and I am content with the ministers given by Your Majesty."
But why does Li Chengqian sound a little harsh?
Li Chengqian twitched his lips and smiled faintly again, "The Gu Wang has always relied heavily on the general, but General Jian was interested in the Eastern Expedition in the Emperor's heart, and sent him a letter to the Gu Wang Wang who wanted to lead the general to the Eastern Expedition. I wonder what the general wanted?"
Li Simo said without hesitation when he heard this: "I will never refuse to die if I can win the blue eyes of Your Majesty!" There was an unconcealed excitement in his voice.
Seeing that Li Simo was convinced by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable and said to himself: You are a half-hearted person. The Lone King made you live until now and I am sorry for you. When he heard that he was going to Li Shimin's tent, he looked like a bone-loving dog.
Li Chengqian's face was almost out of control, and he was too lazy to see Li Simo's appearance again. He turned around and said to Liu Kui: "Transfer them all in."
Liu Kui went out again after hearing this.
Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Li Simo: "Let General Li tell the others later!"
Li Simo agreed without a doubt: "I'll leave everything to me."
When a group of Turkic tribe leaders and people from the Jiu surname of Zhaowu entered the tent hall to greet Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian ordered them to raise their hands behind them to signal people from the Jiu surname of Zhaowu to stand beside them, and he picked up a cup of tea and slowly savored the tea while watching the show.
Li Simo was quite excited to tell everyone that Li Shimin wanted to fight the east and ordered him to follow the east. The Turkic leaders were all interested in hearing it.
Li Chengqian looked at him and sneered in his heart. When these people robbed Han people with Geely, everyone was enthusiastic. Now, when they heard that they were fighting, they looked like they were dead.
After a while, Sunon Weile stood up and turned around for Li Simo: "I wonder how many troops the Turks will send this time?"
When a group of Turkic leaders heard this, they all thought that this was nonsense. The five Turkic tribes under the Dingxiang Governor's Office had only more than 30,000 young and strong people, and they were basically in Li Simo's camp. Why are you asking?
Li Simo was about to answer, but he heard Li Chengqian above say slowly: "This time is different from the past. The Turks have to send 60,000 troops, of which 20,000 cavalrymen are worth a man and two cavalry."
ah!
Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths, and Li Simo was also shocked. How could the Turks have 60,000 young and strong?
