"Report! Jieli has retreated, and now Jieli's various armies are huddled in the camp, holding up the exemption card"

Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Chai Shao, Yu Chigong, Li Wenhao and others received the battle report immediately.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Li Wenhao laughed, or everyone laughed.

Come to think of it, Xieli has already figured it out.

If Xieli doesn't want to die, he can only accept the ending that Datang arranged for him.

As for persuading people to surrender, don’t even think about surrendering. Those who are not of our race will have a different heart. Although this sentence is not absolute, it is definitely a wise saying when there is more than half of the army in Xieli’s hands.

If you lose power today, he may pretend to surrender, but you never know when he will bite you back.

It's better to be more straightforward, negotiate with the two sides and get what they need.

What Datang needs now is chaos in the grassland, not the surrender of the grassland with its hundreds of thousands of troops.

If you don't convince them, surrender or something is bullshit.

"Let's go back to Chang'an, Fan Xing, the Yanliao iron cavalry you brought back with me, I will reward you personally."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although Li Wenhao said that he would give them rewards, these Yanliao cavalry were not very interested. After all, there were 3 people when they came, and now there are less than 6000 left. This battle loss ratio is really too high.

"Your Highness, I don't know if there is any reward, can you tell me here? I want the brothers who died in battle to hear it too."

Fan Xing dragged his injured body and knelt on the ground with support.

"it is good!"

"Don't you have such thoughts? If so, then I will set up a new battalion in the Palace, called the Non-retirement Battalion. It will be composed of 6000 people from the [-] Yan and Liao troops. It will be the third battalion of my East Palace. For the time being, Fan Xing will command"

"The wives and children of the brothers who died in battle will be supported by me, Datang. If you want to join the army, you will be given priority in the non-retirement battalion."

"The rest will be rewarded in order according to their combat achievements."

"Brother Fan Xingdai died in battle, Your Highness Xie"

After arranging the defense here, Li Wenhao and Li Jiancheng rushed to Chang'an with light packs.

"Don't retreat from the camp, don't retreat from a deadly battle, it's interesting!"

"I'm afraid that the princes of all dynasties are the only ones who dare to command troops so blatantly. In addition, if the battalion is not retreating now, if the third battalion of your East Palace is fully staffed, there will be 2 people, right?"

"9000 people, don't worry, uncle, my father is not so narrow-minded."

Li Wenhao replied with a smile. Li Jiancheng's words were obviously a compliment, but actually a reminder.

In the emperor's family, imperial power is always ahead of family affection. Family affection is just an additional condiment.

Back in Chang'an City, Li Wenhao was taken to Tai Chi Palace by Li Shimin before he had time to go to Empress Changsun to report his safety.

"Dalang, now Xieli is planning to cease fighting, and he has sent a letter asking us to provide 20 shi of food and grass for him to withdraw from the army..."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

……

Li Wenhao hummed twice with a half-smile, "He wants to ask us for food and then continue fighting with us?"

"Who do you really think is a fool?"

"I can't give it, not even a single grain of rice, not only can't give it, but also cut off a piece of flesh from him."

"Dalang, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile, he really wants Li Wenhao to negotiate with Jieli because this way, not only will Li Wenhao, the crown prince, be in a stable position, but his prestige will be higher, and he will have a greater right to speak in the court. By then, their father and son will be united , will definitely make Datang the most powerful country on this continent.

"If you have no idea, just tell Xieli, if you don't leave, then there will be a decisive battle. Do you think he will leave or not?"

"If there is a decisive battle, the loss to me will be too great."

Fang Xuanling asked, there was actually a bit of consideration in his words.

"I also know that it will be a big loss to us, but Jieli doesn't dare to fight. If he dares to break the boat, the city of Chang'an will be destroyed long ago. Why do we have to wait until today?"

"It's not that I look down on him. Grassland Eagle, after all, is on the grassland. I haven't seen the prosperity of my Central Plains."

"Dalang, how sure are you?"

"Ten percent, if we can't reach an agreement, I'll kill him directly."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Du Ruhui: "..."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Li Shimin: "..."

They knew that Li Wenhao was fierce, but the words he spoke were like tigers and wolves, which was really scary.

What do you mean behead him if you can't reach an agreement?
That is the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Okay, I scared you guys, don't worry, we can talk well, besides, I can't kill him, if I kill him, who will fight with Tuli in the grassland?"

Li Wenhao glanced at this group of bigwigs who had never seen the world before, curling his lips.

"Father, please write to Jieli. Three days later, the Weishui River is next to the bridge. I will go and talk to him in person."

After speaking, Li Wenhao went straight to the harem to pay his respects to Empress Changsun.

"Sister Changge is here too!"

Li Wenhao couldn't move his eyes when he saw Li Changge standing behind Empress Changsun. As for what Empress Changsun said, I'm sorry, I really didn't hear it. His brain subconsciously ignored other people's words.

"I've seen Brother Prince!"

Li Changge saluted softly.

"I've seen Brother Prince!"

Li Lizhi, who had been watching the excitement, also imitated Li Changge's tone and said something, which immediately made the people in Empress Changsun's palace burst into laughter.

"Dalang, after this battle is over, let's settle the matter between you and Changge!" Empress Changsun suppressed a smile and said.

"Thank you mother."

Li Wenhao's happiest thing is the words of Empress Changsun.

After bidding farewell to Empress Changsun, Li Wenhao returned to the East Palace. Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"Why did I come here? If I don't come again, I'm afraid you will break the sky?"

"What's the matter if you don't retreat from the camp? Although your father didn't show any displeasure, you are the prince after all, and you know it well, and there are some things that you have to avoid."

"Also, you have been in the limelight recently, it's time to restrain yourself. If you don't go to court, it's because you haven't seen the attitude of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Cui family in Qinghe towards you. It takes half an hour to go to court every day. This hour is to say that you are not good, you have to learn to hide the front"

Changsun Wuji said earnestly.

Now in the court, no matter which group of forces it is, everyone knows that as long as Li Wenhao grows up normally, the worst achievement in the future will be Li Shimin. grow up.

(Li Shimin: When did I become a unit of measurement?)

After all, the world is not dominated by their old Li family today. Although Li Shimin intends to rectify those aristocratic families and reuse the poor family, this is a gradual process after all. Otherwise, he may repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty. Like Qin Shihuang, to be the second emperor through the ages, unfortunately, there is no ambition of Qin Shihuang, but no life of Qin Shihuang, this dream of the emperor through the ages can only come to naught in the end.

Moreover, most of the departments in the imperial court and most of the people's livelihood industries in Datang are monopolized by the five surnames and Qiwang. Of course, the most important thing is the land. The amount of land owned by the family is unimaginable. It is better than Li Shimin also had to act cautiously, and sometimes even made corresponding concessions.

How to say something?
A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

The five surnames and Qiwang have gone through several dynasties, and some can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, all dynasties perished, and they are still there, which is enough to prove their strength.

"Uncle, I know everything you said, but you forgot one thing!"

"what's up?"

"The dead don't need to open their mouths. Moreover, I believe that on the way of my cavalry charge, everyone within the range of my longbow will respect me."

"In these aristocratic families, the father does not move, and I want to. They have poisoned the world for too long, and they all say that poor families have no noble sons. With such a family, how can the poor family have a day of success?"
