Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 955 Good news keeps coming!

After encircling and annihilating the remnants of Ashi Naluoxiu, most of the troops of the Western Turkic Kingdom have been wiped out. With these two battles and two victories, the situation in the entire Northwest and the Western Regions will undergo major changes. Li Chengqian is finally able to put it down.

The battle was fought well, but the Tang army paid a high price for it. Li Chengqian had to order to rest on the spot, replenish supplies, and rescue the wounded. Anyway, the initiative on the battlefield was firmly in the hands of Datang. The giving and taking are all within one's own thoughts.

The tents of the Turkic people are well repaired. It can be seen that they have an idea to run this place for a long time.

During the two days of rest, Li Chengqian was not idle. In addition to asking about the defense of the army, he would go to see those cremated brothers every day; these people are warriors who sacrificed for the country, without them, there would be no situation today. So in Li Chengqian's view, lying down is the biggest contributor.

Today, Li Chengqian had just finished sending off people, and he was not in a good mood, but when he heard Li Hui say that Hou Junji was coming, the original haze was swept away; there were only two reasons why the commander of the army left the army lightly, either Win or lose, and Hou Junji is a general who will not lose a battle.

"More than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses gnawed bark, boiled leather belts, and fed horse feed under the circumstances of extreme shortage of food and fodder, and took down 46 towns in Gaochang. On behalf of His Majesty, on behalf of civil and military subjects, I present you with a cup, let’s drink!"

When Hexi Road moved to Liang and Su, Li Chengqian thought that Hou Jun would shrink his troops and take a defensive position. He used the remaining food and fodder in the army to collect some food and grass, and confronted Gaochang's army. Koji outwitted and conquered the city.

But Hou Junji is old-fashioned, and his temper is very stubborn. He insisted on being short of food and medicine, relying on his old bones, carrying the army of the Hehe Dao forward with high spirits, and conquering the whole territory of Gaochang. All 46 towns were included in the Tang Dynasty, and Qu Zhisheng, the lord of Gaochang, was captured alive.

Li Chengqian has just read this chapter of the battle in detail. Some soldiers died of starvation, some were bloated to death by cowhide belts, some died of serious injuries due to lack of medical care, and some even ate poisonous mushrooms to trick their stomachs into the city. The warriors who fell into battle are such a tragic and heroic feat.

"Strong! The Western Expeditionary Army! So strong! I am Tang Jun! So strong! I am the people of China!" After admiring, Li Chengqian continued: "Mr. In the handwriting, His Majesty begs for merit for the Qing and others, and all the generals and school will give me comfort!"

Hou Junji is not only bold and careful, he likes to make dangerous moves, but also knows how to be a man. After the army occupied Gaochang, he learned that the prince was in charge of military affairs in the Western Regions. Instead of reporting victory to the court, Hou Junji came to Hexi Road with documents in person. Chen Bao, please ask the prince to decide on the documents of victory and report on military merits.

Who doesn't like a courtier who takes credit but is not proud, and who can always be aware of his subordinates' duties!Hou Junji is so disciplined and abides by the rules, and he fights so hard in the Dao of Hegemony, with such a high level of hard work, it is completely reasonable for him to be more polite.

"Prince, the old minister lost his son-in-law, and he felt extremely ashamed, so he had to bring his brothers to redeem his sins in order to repay His Majesty and the Crown Prince's great grace!"

After arching his hands, Hou Junji smiled and said, "However, the old minister has to give in to his old age today. Your Highness has won two battles and wiped out more than 30 soldiers and horses of Western Turks in one fell swoop. His Highness easily swallowed such a difficult bone." Now, how can the old minister refuse to accept it!"

"Your Highness not only re-opened the supply line, but also included the area west of Helan Mountain and east of Juyan Sea into our dynasty, expanding the territory infinitely, and completely solving the threat in Guanzhong. This will benefit future generations and last forever, old minister Congratulations only to Tang, congratulations to His Highness!"

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and the prince is a half-lord and the master of his own family. Even if he has made great contributions, he dare not presumptuously in front of the prince; the prince's courtesy is so heavy, it is to praise him, this is human favor, it is face, he has to know Anyway, know gratitude and courtesy.

"Hey, Lu Guogong, you can't say that. You are still comparable to seniors like you. It's because the Western Turks are too arrogant, wanting to shake the tree, and the three armies have used their lives to achieve such a result. Gu As insignificant!"

"In this way, Duke Lu, I have thought about it for you. Your official position and title have reached the highest level. Even if you are given a chancellor, it is just a false name! At the beginning of Zhenguan, you were the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Have you participated in political affairs? So I will advise His Majesty, and put all your credit on Young Master Ling, how about it!"

The previous sons of Hou Junji had all sacrificed their lives for the country in the previous wars in the Tang Dynasty. Now this youngest son is his lifeblood, but the old Hou is always worried that he will not live to reach the age of his son, and the Hou family will not be able to keep up with the transition from old to new. If you can't catch up with one step, you can't catch up with every step, and you will follow in the footsteps of those nobles in the Wude Dynasty.

At such an advanced age, he insisted on begging for the position of chief officer of the Hedao Marching Army. In the desperate battle in the desert, he hoped to make more meritorious deeds, so that the emperor and Li Chengqian would look after him and take care of him in the future. Now the crown prince himself How could Hou Junji be overjoyed when he said it!

Therefore, regardless of the occasion, the old Hou kowtowed heavily and broke his head. Li Chengqian had to come down to help him up, and then pulled him up to sit together. This made the generals who were drinking with him envious. Well, the crown prince valued Lu Guogong so much that their little son could not finish enjoying it all his life.

"Prince, in fact, this old minister has another piece of good news to tell the newspaper!" Hou Junji said with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"Is there any good news? Well, it's Double Happiness today. Come on, Duke Lu, let's drink this first, and then talk slowly!" After clinking a glass with Laohou, Li Chengqian replied with a smile.

"This, this, Your Highness, the son-in-law, the old minister and Changsun Huan worked together to find it. He is alive and his injuries are mostly healed. He will be able to meet His Highness at the Hexi Army in a few days!"

Hearing this news, the smile on Li Chengqian's face became brighter. He was able to find someone, and he was still alive. Everyone was very happy. After returning to Beijing, he could finally explain to his sister.But when Hou Junji finished the rest of the sentence, Li Chengqian's interest immediately dropped, and his face also became cloudy.

"Mr. Lu, this kind of thing can't be joked about. It involves the dignity of the royal family. Don't say it's difficult for Gu, even if it's for His Majesty!"

"Your Highness, this is a matter of the Tian family. It is not good for the old minister to get involved too much. But the old minister and his father Dugu Yanyun are brothers, and they are bloody fellows with Dugu Mou. He must help him to say a few words! This is Please take a look at Dugu Mou's petition form, Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji took out this chapter from his sleeve and held it in his hand. He looked at the prince with a smile on his face; there was no other way, he and the father and son of the Dugu family had exchanged life-changing friendships on the battlefield, so he couldn't read it. Seeing that Dugu Mou will be brought to justice, he would rather be misunderstood and help each other, he has to do the same.

"Is his injury still not healed, and he still dare not come to see Gu!" As a result, after a few glances at this chapter, Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice. The originally harmonious and relaxed environment became silent and serious, without a single noise. The generals all looked at the prince and Hou Junji.
