Du Qi said confidently, "Don't worry, Duke Dingxiang, it will not be a problem to stop the Turks."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Duke Dingxiang, after this battle, when the news of you defeating a hundred thousand Turks is spread to the imperial court, you will be a world-famous general. At that time, you will be famous all over the world. "
Li Daen shook his head, "What credit do I have, even if I can win this battle. The main credit goes to Erlang and Great General Zhangsun, I am just carrying out the orders. "
Du Qi said, "I did not participate, nor did I participate in the planning. This battle is Duke Dingxiang's credit. Now that I am still young, I do not need this credit. "
Hearing this, Li Daen chuckled.
Let's not bother about this for now, we will talk about the credit after we win.
The group waited on the city gate tower, not long after, the Turk army outside the city had already arrived and set up camp outside Yanmen Pass. The black mass of the army was all in formation, exuding a dense murderous aura.
Xieli's eyes were sharp, he urged his horse forward and shouted, "Where is Li Daen?"
When he led his troops here, he had already received the news that the army led by Li Daen had already set up camp at Yanmen Pass, intending to stop his army. However, in Xieli's view, even if Li Daen led the army here, it would be useless, it would not be able to stop his army.
Li Daen said, "Xieli, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. However, other than me, there is another person waiting for you at Yanmen Pass. "
"Xieli, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Du Qi stood at the side and spoke.
His eyes were sharp, he said, "Originally, I thought that Khan would abide by the alliance, even if he wanted to take Zhishi Sili away, he would only send a few people to take Zhishi Sili away. But now, Khan has brought a hundred thousand troops to Yanmen Pass. It seems that Khan wants to take Zhishi Sili away first, then immediately attack Yanmen Pass! "
"Of course not!"
Xieli shook his head and replied.
His heart sank.
Because he had fought with Du Qi and witnessed Du Qi's crafty words, Du Qi's quick-witted mind, and Du Qi's ability to stay sober, he believed that Du Qi was a formidable opponent and not a simple character.
Such a person must be treated with caution.
With a faint smile on the corners of Xieli's mouth, he continued, "Du Qi, this khan has brought one hundred thousand Steel Cavalry to Yanmen Pass, it is not to attack Yanmen Pass, it is because Dingxiang Jun Wang Li Daen is a stubborn person, therefore, this khan is worried that he will not cooperate. That's why I brought the army here. I want to hold the fort and force Li Daen to hand over everyone. "
A smile hung on Xieli's face, he continued, "Heaven and earth can bear witness to this khan's thoughts. Therefore, your worries and misgivings are actually wrong and unnecessary. "
Du Qi said, "If that's the case, that's good."
Xieli seized the opportunity and said, "Du Qi, according to our agreement, this khan has already promised me. I will not invade the Daizhou border and will not invade the Tang Dynasty. Now, it is time for you to fulfill your promise and release Zhili Sili and his men. "
Du Qi said, "Khan, you are wrong. You have not fulfilled the agreement that you should fulfill until now. Releasing Zhili Sili and his men is naturally not a problem. The prerequisite is that Khan must fulfill all the agreements. "
Xieli said, "What other agreements have this khan not fulfilled?"
Du Qi said, "Previously, Khan has promised to let Tuli Khan Shbargha go on a diplomatic mission to the Tang Dynasty. Since Shbargha is in the crowd, let him come out. Let him lead a group of people and horses into Yanmen Pass. If he goes on a diplomatic mission to the Tang Dynasty, then our Tang Dynasty side will immediately release Zhili Sili and his men. "
Hearing this, Shbargha's countenance slightly changed.
The diplomatic mission that he had considered was to achieve victory before going on a diplomatic mission. In front of his eyes, the two sides had not yet started the war and he had to go on a diplomatic mission. For a moment, in his heart, Shbargha was somewhat unwilling.
However, at this time, Shbargha's trusted advisor approached and said in a low voice, "Khan, this is an opportunity. You go directly on a diplomatic mission, after you enter Yanmen Pass. At that time, we will have a reason not to go to war. In this way, even if Xieli wants to attack Yanmen Pass, we can also not participate. "
Shbargha lowered his voice and said, "We won't participate, but what if Xieli breaks Yanmen Pass?"
The advisor said, "If Yanmen Pass is broken, it won't affect us. We have so many troops, if we need to rob, we will rob. Xieli won't be able to stop us. Similarly, if Yanmen Pass is not broken, our troops can preserve their strength. So, it is worth it. "
Hearing this, Shbargha's eyes brightened.
This was indeed an opportunity.
This kind of thing was a good deal for him, so he was willing to do it.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xieli looked over. Xieli looked at Shbargha, thinking that after Shbargha entered Yanmen Pass, he would let Shbargha's troops charge at the vanguard to consume Shbargha's strength and thus weaken him.
Xieli said, "Shbargha, we have already agreed before that you will bring people on a diplomatic mission. Now, it is time to fulfill the agreement. You, bring a group of men and horses and enter Yanmen Pass. "
When Shbargha heard this, he frowned.
Like he was a little worried.
Like he wanted to go back on his words.
When Xieli saw this situation, he said, "Shbargha, in front of everyone, you promised. Are you going to reject the diplomatic mission now? "
Shbargha laughed coldly in his heart. Xieli said it so righteously, but in truth, it was just to deal with his strength. However, Shbargha did not reject, saying, "I will go!"
"Good!"
A bright smile appeared on Xieli's face.
It was done.
This time, not only did he want to break into Yanmen Pass to snatch money and grain, but he also wanted to plan to weaken Shbargha. This was the best of both worlds. No matter how one looked at it, it was worth it.
Shbaroda led his own advisors and a group of guards forward with large strides, heading straight for Yanmen Pass.
When Du Qi saw this, his expression was calm.
He was not surprised that Shbargha was going on a diplomatic mission.
Li Daen and the others arrived at the city gates, and the Turkic army outside did not get close. Only then did he order to open the city gates and allow them to enter.
Li Daen did not need Xieli to remind him. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers within the city had already escorted Zhishi Sili and the others toward the city gates.
With a creak, the city gates opened. Zhishi Sili and all the other Turkic prisoners had their hands tied up, and then all of them swarmed out of the city gates.
Kuang dang!
The city gates were closed.
After Zhishi Sili and the others came out, at this moment, everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles. They had finally returned, finally getting rid of the identity of slaves.
Xieli watched as everyone walked out. When Zhishi Sili returned to his side, Xieli suddenly laughed out loud and shouted, "Du Qi, my men have finally all returned. Zhishi Sili and everyone have returned. Now, it is time for me to attack Yanmen Pass. Is Yanmen Pass, where you are, ready? "
Du Qi's expression was confident, saying seriously, "I have been waiting for you to attack. Yanmen Pass is all ready. However, Xieli, don't forget that Tuli Khan Shbargha entered Yanmen Pass. You are so eager to attack, could it be that you do not care about Shbargha's life? "
