Ji Tang

Chapter 278 Reporting victory in court
"Xuan Hongling urgently sends the envoy to the palace!"

"Xuan Hongling urgently sends the envoy to the palace!"

"Xuan Hongling urgently sends the envoy to the palace!"

Whenever there is a major event, the court will have certain procedures, but for the Tang Dynasty at this time, horses trampled the Turkic royal court and captured the enemy chief alive.

This was the only important victory in foreign war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It can also be said to be the most important disaster for the newly reborn Datang Dynasty.

The significance is so great that it cannot be expressed in words!
Big Sui Niu!The Turks almost surrounded the emperor, which showed the importance of this victory to the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks are powerful and must be powerful. This is the premise.

But now the Tang Dynasty has defeated the Turks and captured the enemy chieftain alive. Does this mean that the Tang Dynasty is stronger than the Sui Dynasty from another angle?
And the Tang Dynasty succeeded the Sui Dynasty. Does this mean that the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty is correct?

As for the unknown truths among them, everyone knows it tacitly. You just need to know that the Tang Dynasty is stronger than the Sui Dynasty.

While the court officials were waiting, Sun Liu followed Duizheng and the etiquette officer to the Taiji Hall, the center of power in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the Lord Gungun sitting on both sides, he felt that his legs were shaking a little and his palms were sweating.

Fortunately, this was not the Warring States Period, and assassinating emperors was not popular. Otherwise, he would have been the one following Jing Ke so scared that he wet his pants!
Everyone looked at the men in tattered armor and dirty bodies, and no one showed any expression of contempt.

Even if you really feel contempt, you still have to pretend to be serious.

If you dare to say something inappropriate, the generals in the hall will dare to kill you on the spot without the emperor, as the supreme commander of the Tang army, speaking.

While others had nothing to say, the emperor would stage a drama in which the emperor and the soldiers advanced and retreated together, shouting that the killing was good.

Didn't you see that Duke Yuchi, the emperor's number one lackey, was looking at everyone with eager eyes?
Some of them felt guilty, feeling that Yuchi's tiger eyes were looking at them, thinking about where to start.

"Greetings to my emperor, may my emperor live forever and the Tang Dynasty live forever!"

The team leader raised the red feather in his hand that was still unsealed to report urgently, and led several people behind him to pay homage to Li Shimin.

At this time, there was a set of rules for meeting the emperor.After all, such an important occasion must be recorded in history, and it would not be good to make a joke.

"Send it up!" Li Shimin wore a crown on his head. Everyone couldn't see his expression clearly, but from the bead curtain that kept shaking, they could still feel his inner excitement.

"promise!"

Chen Shou bowed and came to a few people. The team member was holding his hands high, but his head was lowered.

Sun Liu had no thoughts at this time. He just stuck his butt out and lowered his head to the ground, making a posture of throwing himself on the ground.

Chen Shou took the emergency report from Hong Ling, checked it and determined that it had not been opened, and waved to the ceremony officer to take everyone down.

At this time, the mission of the Red Ling Envoy has been completed. Next, he will live in the official residence and wait for the imperial court's reward. However, this does not require an emperor. There are established rules, so just follow them.

Li Shimin resisted the urge to rush down and snatch the good news from Chen Shou's hand, slowly took it, paused, and then broke the seal.

"My emperor is on high. Your Majesty, Li Jing, bows his head and pays homage:
On the order of my emperor, I led more than [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to attack the Turks in the north.I first defeated Dingxiang, then Baidao, and stationed troops here. Fortunately, my emperor Mingsheng sent Tang Jian as an envoy to hold back Jieli, which gave me a chance to defeat the enemy. "

"It was the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan. I felt that the time was ripe, so I sent the general manager of the rear army, Ji Song, the Marquis of Hao, as the vanguard, hoping to take advantage of his unpreparedness to raid the Turkic royal court."

"I led more than [-] elite cavalry troops and went north from Baidao. I then joined forces with Li Ji's army and headed straight for Tukou."

"Of course, God is true. The temperature suddenly dropped at night, and the breath turned into ice and the dripping water turned into pillars. Tens of thousands of cavalry were killed and wounded, and [-]% of them were killed. They even lost contact with the Haojihou Ji Song tribe."

After reading this, Li Shimin could no longer sit still. The army had suffered countless casualties before it encountered the enemy. How could we fight this battle?
He endured the dizziness and continued reading. "Just when I was at my wits' end, perhaps it was God's blessing from our emperor. Just when our army was in despair, I suddenly heard that General Chai Shao was leading the army again. I am in peace! Our army is in peace!"

"General Chai Shaofu!"

When Li Shimin saw this, he shouted loudly.

He really couldn't imagine that without Chai Shao's sudden appearance, would Li Jing and his remnant army, which had suffered heavy casualties, really be able to complete the mission?

He knew that Chai Shao defeated the Turkic army all the way, and he also received the order requesting documents to go north, but he did not expect that Chai Shao was so bold and resolutely went north without an order.

Fortunately, Chai Shao was decisive. If he had not gone north, then...
He thought carefully, but he really didn't dare to think about it anymore. Where was Ji Song?

When he saw that Li Jing had blocked the road due to heavy snow, he couldn't tell the direction, and he missed the deadline?
What about Ji Song?Can he still raid the Turkic royal court as scheduled?

Is it
He hurriedly looked down, and when he saw Ji Song using the kind of ballista Chai Shao had reported to burn the Turkic royal court to a white ground, he couldn't help but slap the table with all his strength.

"Snapped!"

He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, good job, good job, good cooking."

Everyone in the hall was a little confused. What does this have to do with Ji Song?

Isn't he the commander-in-chief of the rear army?When will it be his turn to go to war?

Li Gang felt even worse and whispered to Fang Xuanling who was standing in front of him: "What's going on? Isn't Ziyi the general manager of the rear army? Is the war so intense that he also goes to the battlefield? Isn't this nonsense? ?”

When Fang Xuanling saw that it was Li Gang, he immediately got a headache. Only a few people knew about sending Ji Song to raid the Turkic Royal Court, and he was one of them.

Princess Pingyang was at odds with His Majesty over this matter at first, but now Li Gang is added to the mix, how can this be fun?
"Master Li, don't be anxious. From your Majesty's tone, Ziyi should be fine. I'll explain to you later, okay?" Fang Xuanling could only hold him back first.

Otherwise, with Li Gang's bad temper, who knows what trouble will happen!
Li Shimin couldn't care less about what they said below. He was now completely obsessed with the magnificence of the memorial.

Ji Song raided the royal court as scheduled. He first attacked with crossbows and fire, huge arrows flew across the sky, and divine fire descended from the sky, burning the Turkic royal court to ashes.

Jieli abandoned his army and fled. The Turkic war horses were frightened and trampled the royal court. Many people in the royal court were killed and injured.

He led [-] warriors to stay away from the royal court, and even dispersed and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops outside, leaving only the Turkic Grand Elder Marshal with nearly [-] remaining soldiers to resist.

First, he showed the enemy that he was weak, and led his three thousand cavalry out, and used the Turkic cavalry's best art of riding and shooting to wipe out the Turkic cavalry.

Li Jing even sent Li Ji to fight against the Turkic elders, and finally used crossbows to wipe out the remaining Turkic soldiers.

Later, when Ji Song, the Marquis of Hao, returned, Su Lie, the captain of the Zuo Xiao Guards, captured Jie Li alive in the Marmot Cave, and the scout Guo Kang captured the former Sui Empress and Princess Yicheng alive.

To Li Shimin's surprise and surprise, Tang Jian was fine. He dug a big hole in the tent, and Ji Song hid in it during the raid. But Turk didn't notice it in his hurry?

They also captured hundreds of high-ranking Turkic nobles, tens of thousands of their subjects, and millions of cattle and sheep.

"Okay, okay, Li Jing did not disappoint me, Chai Shao, Li Ji, and Ji Song did not disappoint me either. They captured Jie Li alive, captured hundreds of princes, tens of thousands of Turks, and millions of cattle and sheep."

"The Tang Dynasty is magnificent, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are magnificent!"

Li Shimin stood on Danbi, holding the victory report tremblingly, and shouted loudly.With the special amplification of the main hall, it continues to echo in the main hall!
