After completing all the preparations, Li Hongyun's vision began to rise rapidly, returning to God's perspective again.

Then, he saw Liang Taizong ordering all the cavalry to retreat in formation, leaving him alone, talking with Jieli Khan on the bridge on the Weishui River.

Li Hongyun didn't know what the two sides discussed specifically, but he could guess something from their expressions.

Liang Taizong still looked calm and calm, completely unable to see the empty cowardice behind him, and he didn't even mind showing his aggressive edge at certain times;

Although Jieli Khan was trying hard to maintain his majesty as the great Turkic Khan, and even wanted to rely on the 200,000 troops behind him to put pressure on Liang Taizong, from the perspective of God, this revealed that he had nothing.

Confidence.

As for the leaders of other Turkic tribes on the north bank of the Weishui River, they looked at the scene in front of them with great interest, as if they were eating melons.

The two khans bargained in verbal exchanges, trying to make a covenant acceptable to both parties. In the eyes of the tribal leaders, this was also a reserved program in the grassland tradition.

They saw with their own eyes the two most powerful khans in the world at that time signing an alliance face to face, and witnessed history with their own eyes. Perhaps this was more interesting to them than a war with casualties.

After preliminary bargaining and basically reaching an agreement, the two returned separately.

During this process, Jieli Khan did not let the Turks suddenly attack, and Liang Taizong naturally did not let the cavalry behind him approach.

The Turks returned to their base camp, while Liang Taizong returned to Chang'an City.

Two days later, Liang Taizong and Jieli Khan signed a peace agreement on the Weishui River Bridge and killed the white horse alliance.

What is interesting is that during the formal peace talks, Jieli Khan was alone on the other side, but the leaders of the Turkic tribes came to the other side to pay homage to Liang Taizong, the "Khan".

In the eyes of the Central Plains people, this is simply unbelievable.

Although the two countries have established an alliance, they are still enemies, and can even be said to be sworn enemies.

Who has heard of the kings and generals of the Central Plains Dynasty going to pay homage to the Turkic Khans?

But from the perspective of prairie people, this is natural and taken for granted.

Perhaps it can be said that these barbarians are "afraid of power but not moral." When they decide to make an alliance with you, it must be because you are stronger than them. Once you show your flaws, they will immediately betray their trust, tear up the alliance, and ruthlessly punish you.

Bite your wounds.

But the respect and admiration these prairie people have for heroes is also real.

On the grassland, strength is respected, and those with strength can win the support of everyone. From the perspective of the Central Plains people, this is an unreasonable thing.

If Liang Taizong was really born in the grasslands, then even if he was the second son, there would be no need to consider the changes in the Xuanwu Sect, because he could fight, so he would be the best candidate to succeed the Khan.

The Turks broke up their camp and left, and the great battle was ended.

…

Li Hongyun, who experienced the entire Weishui Alliance from beginning to end, had a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship with the Turks in the early years of the Liang Dynasty.

Although this challenge is conducted from the perspective of the King of Qin, and most of the time, the standard answers are copied from the King of Qin, but if you dig carefully, you will find that there are many details that can be explored in depth.

Especially when Li Hongyun subconsciously stepped into Jieli Khan's perspective, he realized that the suffocating sense of oppression had returned.

That was the oppressive feeling he experienced when he saw King Qin from Dou Jiande's perspective!

Are Turks weak?

Is Jieli Khan stupid?

After experiencing all this, Li Hongyun was very sure that the answer to both questions was no.

There is a saying that difficulties are like bullets. It depends on whether you are strong or not. If you are strong, it will be weak. If you are weak, it will be strong.

The same is true when it comes to the relationship between the two countries.

The Turks were weak in front of King Qin, but that didn't mean they were really weak.

Although the Turks were destroyed, Liang Taizong did a good job in seizing the opportunity, but not everyone has this ability to seize opportunities.

For example, when Taizu of Qi founded the country, he set the policy of first going south and then north, and allowed the faint king of Liao to sleep in the north for ten years, and missed the best window to regain Yanyun. So when he attacked Yanyun ten years later, he encountered

It has become the most powerful gay group in the entire Liao Dynasty since its founding.

You know, starting a battle is not just about pressing a few buttons like playing a game.

It is necessary to train troops in advance, transport food, plan strategies, detect the enemy's situation, divide and disintegrate the enemy, etc.

These preparations can take anywhere from a few months to several years to complete.

During the confrontation between the Turks and the Liang Dynasty, it was not that they had no chance to attack.

In the few years from the fifth year of Wude to the ninth year of Wude, the Turks were in a state of prosperity, while the Liang Dynasty was in the midst of fierce internal fighting.

And a series of behaviors of Jieli Khan actually reflected his foresight.

He had long realized that when the Liang Dynasty became stronger, the Turks would inevitably have bad consequences, so he mobilized heavy troops to go south almost every year.

The troops ranged from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. In terms of military strength, they were already in an absolute crushing position against the Liang Dynasty.

Moreover, Jieli Khan was not foolhardy, and he would not fight an uncertain battle.

Starting from the fifth year of Wude, the previous invasions were actually tests. Testing the best route and testing the quality of the generals of the Liang Dynasty.

From the beginning, he chose the Hedong and Taiyuan routes to invade, and then went south directly through the Weishui River Valley to approach Chang'an City; from the beginning when he met the King of Qin, he temporarily avoided the front and attacked other generals first, and later began to try to fight with the Liang Dynasty on Wulong Ban

The strongest King of Qin faced off.

It can be said that every step Jieli Khan took was to prepare to defeat the Liang Dynasty as much as possible.

When they arrived at the Wei River Alliance, there were no problems with Jieli Khan's ability, vision and force projection. This long-distance attack and direct attack on Chang'an can be regarded as a textbook for the northern nomads' military use.

If a mediocre emperor were replaced, even if Chang'an City could be defended, the entire Guanzhong Plain would probably be ravaged under the iron hoof of the Turks.

If the Turks win a great victory, Jieli Khan's reputation will rise rapidly and his status will become more stable.

But unfortunately, he met the nemesis in his life.

I'm afraid only Dou Jiande can understand this kind of helplessness.

Li Hongyun thought about it, and if he really stepped into Jieli Khan's perspective, he would probably make the same choice as Jieli Khan without using cheats or predicting the future in advance.

Whether on the Wulong Ban or on the banks of the Weishui River, Jieli Khan made what he believed to be the safest choice with the highest chance of winning despite the obstacles of the fog of war.

But he also completely lost his chance.

Of course, even if Jieli Khan really loses his mind and decides to give it a try at all costs, the direction of history may not change much.

After all, Jieli Khan's failure was not just a wrong decision.

What the two sides demonstrated during the game was a comprehensive crushing of intelligence, psychology, and military power.

After the Weishui Alliance was concluded, the Turks did not go south again for three years.

This was certainly due to the internal conflicts among the Turks gradually emerging, but the more important reason was that the Weishui Alliance had completely shattered the prestige of Jieli Khan.

If during the Wulong Ban period, the King of Qin led his elite cavalry to rush forward in the rain and force Jieli Khan to retreat, which was a severe stab at Jieli Khan's prestige, then the Weishui Alliance directly used a hammer to defeat Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan's prestige was shattered.

The leaders of various tribes crossed the Weishui River Bridge to pay homage to Liang Taizong. Only Jieli Khan was left on the other side of the river. This reflected a crucial point: Jieli Khan's prestige and control were seriously insufficient.

Obviously, after several years of going south continuously and repeatedly suffering defeat at the hands of the King of Qin and returning without success, the leaders of the various Turkic tribes have understood a fact.

Since you, Jieli Khan, did not dare to fight when you were at your strongest and the Liang Dynasty was at its weakest, and could not do anything. Your 200,000-strong army just took a trip to the Weishui River, then any military actions you take from now on will naturally be of no use.

There will be no further results.

Therefore, even if Jieli Khan is not convinced and wants to summon another army to go south, there is a big question mark as to whether the leaders of the tribes will listen to him.

This year, Liang Taizong was twenty-eight years old.

The relationship between the strength of the Liang Dynasty and the Turks was completely changed.

The Zhenguan monarchs and ministers began to work hard to govern and prepare their troops. In the face of constant natural disasters in various places, they were relieving the victims and restoring production. At the same time, they were also constantly trying to divide the Turkic tribes and prepare for the war of annihilation that might start at any time.

On the Turkic side, the prestige of Jieli Khan completely collapsed. Many tribes refused to rely on him and began to rebel. Many tribes even directly turned to the Khan in their eyes, Liang Taizong.

The order of the entire grassland began to be reshuffled, and this also paved the way for the Liang Dynasty's subsequent war to destroy the Turks.

…

In Li Hongyun's vision, the second barrier was also broken through.

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the core of this historical slice.

With a quick burst of energy, he directly touches the third layer of black energy.

But this time, an exact year did not appear in Li Hongyun's vision. Instead, he directly came to the top of Chang'an City from God's perspective and fixed on a very critical area.

Xuanwu Gate.

When Li Hongyun went to the Weishui River to make an alliance with the Turks, he and Fang Xuanling and others went to Xuanwu Gate.

Xuanwu Gate was built in the previous dynasties and was the north gate of Daxing Palace. During the Liang Dynasty, Daxing Palace was rebuilt into Taiji Palace, with two gates on the north. Xuanwu Gate is located to the west of the north of Taiji Palace, and to the east is Anli.

Door.

Xuanwu Gate is located on the high slope of Longshouyuan, adjacent to the West Inner Garden to the north. It overlooks the palace city and is the commanding height to control Taiji Palace.

It can be said that if you control the Xuanwu Gate, you can control the Taiji Palace; if you control the Taiji Palace, you can control Chang'an City; and if you control Chang'an City, you can control the entire country.

At this time, the game screen repeatedly showed many details of the Xuanwu Gate, which had hinted to Li Hongyun, no, it should be said that it clearly stated the goal of this stage.
