Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 527

The burnt smell and a weird smell of barbecue filled the air, and the remaining flames were still burning tenaciously in Baideng Mountain.

"Tsk, I'm out of human form." Cheng Mingzhen kicked away the charred dead wood, and saw piles of corpses underneath.

These corpses can no longer see their original appearance, and have completely turned into 'human charcoal'.

"I'm afraid I can't even find the ashes." Yu Chigong frowned, then lifted his feet and continued walking up.

Soldiers of the Tang Army carefully searched every corner, and occasionally found one or two Turkic people lingering on their last legs, and they stabbed them to death with a few knives.

"It smells so good, my second child."

"Sweet fart, do you want to learn how animals can eat human flesh?"

Words like these rang out sparsely around.

When Li Jing entered the mountain this time, he had to confirm one last thing.That is the life and death of Xieli.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

The mountain search lasted for more than half a month. During this time, Tang Jun sorted out countless remains one after another.Some are still intact, others are broken bones, and others have been burned to ashes.

In addition, it also contains some animal bones.

After counting, the number is more than [-].

However, Xieli's remains have never been found.

"General, will it be burnt to ashes?" Luo Shixin looked at the bones on the ground and asked thoughtfully.

Li Jing narrowed his eyes and did not jump to judgment.

"There's still time, let's keep looking."

Immediately, Tang Jun's team began to search the mountain again.

They searched inch by inch, and under Li Jing's strict order, they dared not let go of any place.

Finally, their painstaking efforts paid off, and they found Jieli.

When the fire burned the mountain, Xieli organized troops to break through, but was repulsed by Tang Jun's strong bow and crossbow. In desperation, he had no choice but to order people to dig tunnels in an attempt to escape the burning mountain fire.

But the fire lasted too long, and the weather in July was so hot that it suffocated Xieli to death.

In fact, it is not surprising that the fire burned the mountain and there was a shortage of oxygen. If Xieli was not burned to death by the fire, he would be choked to death and suffocated to death.

What made Li Jing happy was that Xieli's body was still intact. After all, it was hidden in a cave and was not directly burned to ashes. You could tell it was Xieli from his appearance at a glance.

"You're done!" Li Jing looked at Xieli's body and laughed.

This time, he annihilated all Turkic soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and more than [-] people were buried in Baideng Mountain.

Since then, it has been difficult for the Turks to pose a threat to Datang!

Even if Tang Jun paid a huge price for this.

"General, what shall we do next?" Luo Shixin asked.

Li Jing said: "Send someone to tell His Majesty the news, and by the way, send Xie Li's body back to Chang'an for His Majesty to dispose of. We will wait for His Majesty's order."

"As ordered!"

In August, Chang'an is like a hot furnace.

The heat of the common people is reflected in the physical level.

And Li Zhiyun's heat is the heat of both mind and body.

On the one hand, he was so hot that he wanted to lie down, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the battle on the front line. He has been very unhappy recently.

As the weather got hotter, Li Zhiyun also went to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat.

There is no way, the Taiji Palace in Chang'an is too hot, like a steam oven, staying in it, Li Zhiyun feels that he can't settle down to deal with government affairs every day.

The Hall of Renshou was built during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. It was named Renshou Palace after the good intention of "Yao and Shun practiced virtue and made the people live longer".Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne here.

The inner city of the palace is centered on Tiantai Mountain, the Guanshan Anti-Hall, the gully is a pool, divided into rocks, and across the water to frame couplets.

Looking at it at a glance, a majestic and vigorous momentum rushed towards him.

Great Hall.

"As expected of Yu Wenkai's construction, it's really a step-by-step scene, with appropriate shades."

Li Zhiyun ate Haagen-Dazs with a few pockets, with a relaxed expression on his face.

It's summer, and the Dongxi Market in Chang'an sells very hot ice cream, so I gave Li Zhiyun another sum of money.

Comfortable.

This time, when he came to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat, Li Zhiyun brought not many people, a few close officials who dealt with government affairs, and two concubines.

Concubine Yin De and Concubine Pei Xian respectively.

The Queen and Concubine Yang Shu gave birth not long ago and needed rest, while the imperial concubine Wei Gui had to help the Queen deal with the affairs of the harem.

Yang Mudan is raising her son in the palace.

In addition, there is also the second sister-in-law that Li Zhiyun misses so much.He has always loved his second sister-in-law, how could he leave her in Chang'an to endure the scorching heat?

Several court ladies held palm-leaf fans and gently fanned the emperor. In the four corners of the hall, ice cubes were placed to cool off the heat.

Concubine Yin De is becoming more and more charming now, every frown and smile has an irresistible charm of a young mature woman, which arouses Li Zhiyun's heart a burst of fire, and she has been pampering this woman a lot in Renshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, some time ago, there were people in Chang'an who wanted to grab Yeye's business, thanks to Your Majesty taking care of Yeye." Concubine Yin Defei leaned on the emperor under a light gauze cover, her voice was extremely soft and itchy.

Foxy!
Concubine Pei Xian on the side rolled her eyes.

These days, she has often seen how this woman seduces the emperor.

Li Zhiyun said indifferently: "Tell your father, you must behave yourself, otherwise I will not bend the law for personal gain."

The implied warning made Concubine Yin De's coquettish face slightly froze, and she immediately agreed.

Not long after, Gao Liangzhong walked in lightly.

"Your Majesty, Fang Shilang has important matters to report."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhiyun asked lazily.

"It's news from the front."

Ok?
Li Zhiyun was refreshed, and immediately said: "Let's go to Paiyun Palace."

"Yes."

Paiyun Temple.

Fang Xuanling presented the good news.

After reading it, Li Zhiyun was both happy and surprised.

Happily, Li Jing really lived up to his expectations and finally defeated Xieli.

Surprisingly, Li Jing actually took such a crazy action and burned more than [-] Turkic people to death.

"What a Li Yaoshi, he lured the enemy into deep and wiped them out in one fell swoop, what a great skill." Li Zhiyun put down the good news and hummed.

He used the main force to contain Xieli's main force in the clouds, and he led the elite to cross the mountains and ridges, circled a big circle, attacked from behind, and wiped out Xieli's logistics in one fell swoop, and then surrounded them on Baideng Mountain, conducting a fire attack. , Taking advantage of the right time, place and people, more than [-] people were burned to death in one fell swoop.

It has to be said that Li Jing's actions were not only bold, but also crazy.

But the benefits are also visible to the naked eye.

This time Jieli died, and more than [-] Turkic troops were buried in Baideng Mountain.Since then, the balance of military power between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty has completely changed.

If the former Turks were the ultimate body, then the death of the more than [-] troops would directly degenerate the Turks into a growth stage.

However, Tang Jun's losses were also great.

An army of [-] marched out, and the combined forces of the Hedong Road and the Eastern Front would be [-], but in this battle, only [-] were left.

Coupled with the loss of Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji's troops on the western front, the total number is more than [-].

Such a huge loss, even Li Zhiyun was very heartbroken.

However, it is worthwhile to be able to kill the Turks.Because after this battle, if the Great Tang mobilizes troops again, it will not be such a huge number of [-] troops.

Fang Xuanling congratulated and said: "Your Majesty, from now on, the northern border will be safe."

Li Zhiyun tapped the news with his fingers, and said: "Li Jing burned more than [-] people to death, someone in the court will definitely say something, you can pay attention to it for me."

"Yes." Fang Xuanling agreed.

Li Zhiyun continued: "For the post-war rewards and pensions, you will also prepare a memorial with others as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun took a deep breath, whether it was the rewards for the remaining [-] troops or the compensation for the more than [-] people who died in battle, it would not be a small amount.

This time, his private treasury might be emptied.

"I obey the order." Fang Xuanling continued to ask, "Your Majesty, Jieli's body has already arrived in Chang'an, what should His Majesty do with it?"
