Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 889
The emperor didn't even enter the city of Mayi, but just appeased the subordinate Mayi generals and wealthy families outside the city, and accepted all the money and food they paid for tribute, and also selected more than a hundred children of powerful families in the city to earn In the army, let them join the Qin army.

For the [-] Mayi Army that had just returned, Luo Cheng also symbolically selected more than a thousand strong and brave veterans to join the army, and the rest were given a sum of money and grain as severance pay, and let them go home to grant land and return agriculture.

Wang Wu was conferred by the emperor as the fifth-rank general of Ningyuan Sanjie, and the post of Lieutenant of the Bingdu of Mayi County, and the founding Viscount of Shanyang County.

The awards and titles are not high, but Wang Wu is quite satisfied. After all, before Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, he was only a regiment-level officer. Although he has 1 men, they are all mobs. He still has some self-knowledge. Well, I'm afraid that Mayi City won't last for half a month, and when the city breaks down, not to mention my own head, the family's wife and children will also be implicated.

Now that he landed safely, successfully returned to Qin, and got a real seal of founding son, he is very satisfied.

"Cheng Yaojin."

"The minister is here!" Cheng Yaojin who just came from Loufan Pass stepped forward to listen to the order.

The emperor ordered Cheng Yaojin to lead an army of [-] to the Pianguan Village of the Great Wall to guard the Pianguan to prevent Guo Zihe of Yulin County and Wang Xiaoji, the surrendered city lord of Tangdong, from taking it and reinforce Jieli.

"Xue Wanche."

"I order you to lead an army of 4000 people to immediately kill the Hu Pass on the North Great Wall, reinforce Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng, firmly guard the Kill Hu Pass, and never let the Turks pass the pass."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, with my minister here, even a Turkic wolf cub will never escape."

Xue Wanche's chest slapped loudly.

Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction. Both Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche were extremely capable generals. Each of them could command 5 horses. Now there are only [-] people in the unified army, and they are guarding the gates. There is no problem.

The city of Mayi was handed over to General Pei Renji, who led an army to garrison, and was responsible for sweeping out Liu Wuzhou's troops in the nearby Sanggan Town, and at the same time organized the supply of food and grass to the emperor's main force who was about to go north to Yunzhong.

"Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, I order you two to lead an army from your headquarters, and go north immediately to be the vanguard and take out the White Wolf Fortress!"

The army hardly stayed under the city of Mayi, and after a short rest, they set out separately according to the emperor's order.

Qin Junqiu committed no crimes, and the people praised him as the king of benevolence and righteousness.

The emperor also moved to Shenwu City, a hundred miles away to the north, on the same day.

At dusk that day.

Under the escort of the guards, the emperor arrived at Shenwu City.

In Shenwu City, the samurai Xun led the powerful households in the city and 2000 people left behind to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, after Jie led the army to be defeated and killed, about [-] Turkic troops retreated to Yunzhong. Jieli was furious and killed dozens of generals of the defeated army. Then he re-elected the chief general and sent troops south. The Turkic general was very cautious, and his ministers deployed some suspicious soldiers, bluffing, making the Turkic people think that the soldiers of Luo Danen and Gao Manzheng were still here, so the Turkic people are now stationed in Bailangsai, and want to find out the reality of our Shenwu City first. .”

"Fortunately, His Majesty arrived in time, otherwise my empty city plan would not be able to continue."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you not only have a flowery tongue, but you are also so bold and careful. You can use an empty city, but you scare the Turkic army for several days and dare not go south."

"Warrior Yu, you have made another great contribution. Last time you were an envoy to the Tang camp, you performed very well. Now that you have made such a great contribution, I will reward you heavily. In addition, you used to be Ying County, so I will make you the founder of Ying County." Hou, I will give you a total of [-] real seals in Tongqian."

"Sir, thank my emperor for the reward."

The samurai Xun was very excited and hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor and his guards entered the city, and the army was stationed outside the city.

The red sun is falling to the west.

Inside and outside the city, cooking smoke curled up.

The samurai Xun was still very capable of handling affairs. He organized the powerful families in the city to send people and food, and prepared a lot of food and vegetables for the army. When the emperor entered the city, he also prepared the best house in the city and cleaned it up.

The emperor's guards quickly took over the defense of the city and searched the whole city. The guards were on guard in the mansion.

This house used to be the house of a horse merchant. It was very luxurious and even a bit beyond the standard, but the border area has never been very strict.

The personal guard Zhonglang will come forward with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Yinghou is very capable of coming, and there are actually many beauties prepared in this house. Your Majesty's army has worked hard, so you can relax tonight."

Luo Cheng heard this, but he was not very happy.

"It's wartime now, and this is a frontier. It's not appropriate to fix these things."

"Your Majesty, I have already asked Yinghou carefully. These women are reliable and there will never be any danger. Your Majesty can enjoy them with confidence."

Luo Cheng waved his hand, "When is it? The decisive battle is imminent. How can you be in such a mood to let the warrior Xun take him away. Tell him to focus more on the right path instead of these places."

The samurai Xun over there stood waiting outside, thinking that this was done beautifully.After all, the emperor was away in person, and he didn't bring concubines and palace people with him. In this respect, the emperor was no better than Ming emperor Yang Guang.

Whether Yang Guang is on a west tour or a north tour or an expedition to the east, he always brings all the court officials, harem concubines, and even countless palace eunuchs with him.I thought that shortly after he ascended the throne, he toured the west all the way to Zhangye, but he was caught off guard by a snowstorm and tens of thousands of palace soldiers froze to death.

He toured the grasslands outside the Great Wall to the north, and even asked the craftsmen to make a huge wheel palace that could accommodate a hundred people. Countless wheels rode a mobile palace on the grasslands, showing the utmost luxury.

But Qin Huang was not like this. Although he was in charge of the conquest, he never brought concubines and maids, not even eunuchs.Traveling does not take a carriage, but rides a horse like soldiers.

He thought that the emperor would always be tired, and would always have some needs. After all, the emperor was so young, so he went out of his way to pick out a lot of women.

These women are not slaves and singers, but daughters he picked from the wealthy families in the city, and those people are willing to take this opportunity to send their daughters to the emperor.

But who knew, the emperor asked Wang Tiehan to reprimand him instead.

This made the samurai who had just been promoted to the founding marquis of Ying County wet his clothes with sweat, "I'll take these girls away right away, right away."

"Yinghou, His Majesty appreciates your ability very much, but right now is before the decisive battle, so don't go astray."

"Understood, thank you, General Wang, for your guidance."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, even at night, it doesn't cool much.

Luo Cheng sat on the porch of the courtyard, except for the occasional chirping of insects, everything was quiet.

"His Majesty."

"Duke Shun Guo is back, he has already entered the city."

Hearing this report, Luo Chengdao said, "Go and see if Duke Shun has rested. If not, then please come over."

Rothmore will be here soon.

"Your Majesty, if you lose your honor and humiliate the country, you will die!"

After a long time no see, Simo lost a lot of weight and seemed to have little flesh on his body, all supported by a tall skeleton.On the steps in front of the emperor's room, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Luo Cheng opened the curtain and came out, reaching out to support him.

"Simo, you are a hero, so what's your crime?"

The emperor took him by the hand and walked into the layer, "Although it's cooler outside, there are too many mosquitoes. When I heard you came back, I wanted to see you right away. You have suffered during this time."

Simo couldn't think of himself as a defeated general. After being captured, the emperor not only tried to redeem him, but also treated him like this. He couldn't help crying.

This old Turkic aristocrat used to have a barbarian face, so even the Turkic people didn't agree with him and called him a bastard.Who would have expected that after being attached to Luo Cheng, he would be so trusted and relied upon by the emperor instead.

In the past few years in Monan, he has been assisting Siye. This time he lost Dingxiang and Dali City, but the emperor didn't blame him.

"You only have 20 people, but Xieli has [-] people, but you are unyielding, fighting tenaciously, you and the soldiers under your command are doing a good job."

"Your Majesty, they are all dead, only the minister is alive, and he has no face to face His Majesty."

"Since he didn't die, let's live a good life for the brothers who died in battle, avenge them, and take care of their families for them."

"Simo, our army is encircling Xieli, and soon Xieli will become a turtle in the urn. We will capture Xieli alive, and the Turks will no longer be able to make trouble after this battle."

Simo was taken aback. He had just been redeemed from the Jieli barracks in Yunzhong, so he didn't know the whole situation yet.They were already extremely surprised to see the emperor in Shenwu City.

"You just came back, so I guess you haven't had time to eat yet. I've had someone prepare some meals, and I just happen to have some with me."

"Your Majesty, I dare not disturb Your Majesty."

"Is there any war or not, I just want to talk to you about something. Look at you, you are so thin, eat more later and keep your spirits up. When we fight Xieli, I want you to lead the battle for me. "

When the food came, the emperor even served Simo himself.

This move moved Simo very much.

"You have been in the Xieli camp for so long, and you probably know a little about Xieli and his soldiers. Do you think we can encircle and wipe out Xieli this time?"

"Will Jieli surrender after being surrounded, and will his followers sincerely surrender?"

Simo held the rice served by the emperor with both hands respectfully.

"Your Majesty, although I am a Turkic, I am no longer a Turkic Khan. I thought that after Jieli found out that he was besieged, he would definitely ask for surrender. Jieli is a hard-working man, and his ability is far inferior to that of Shibi. Although he took the opportunity Defeated the Tiele people, pacified Mobei, and invaded southward on a large scale, but he lost consecutive battles, made successive mistakes in judgment, and made wrong decisions. As a result, he now has only a hundred thousand people under Yunzhong City. If you are besieged, you are in danger of being annihilated, and Xieli will definitely sue for peace. I suggest that Your Majesty should not agree to it, but take action when it is time to do so. This is a good time to annihilate Xieli and severely injure the Turks, so we must not let it go."

Luo Cheng asked with a smile: "Simo, I am very pleased that you are loyal. After capturing and killing Jieli, I canonize you as Turkic Khan. How about letting you lead the grassland?"

Upon hearing this, Simo pushed aside the chair and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. After capturing Jieli, the Turkic Khanate should be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the entire grassland should be brought under the rule of the Great Qin. How can the Turkic Khanate be retained?"

"Hahaha, you can think about it again." Luo Cheng laughed.

"Your Majesty, destroy the Turkic Khanate in one fell swoop, once and for all, and you must not feed tigers into trouble. At that time, Qimin Khan was supported by Sui, but in the end, although Qimin was loyal to Sui, Qimin's son was besieged from the beginning. Emperor Ming lived in Yanmen, Jieli is now committing crimes on a large scale, this is a clear proof."
