I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 163 The good news from Youzhou reaches Chang'an

"Yes."

Su Dingfang nodded and waved his hand.

All the soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged away all the corpses of the surrendered soldiers.

Subsequently.

Li Zheng looked at the people in front of him who were watching the execution.

"Fathers and folks from Yanqing."

"sorry."

"We're late."

"Li Zheng, on behalf of the imperial court and the current emperor, will make amends to all the fellow villagers."

Li Zheng cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and bowed to all the onlookers with a tone of shame.

After hearing this, I saw Li Zheng's attitude.

Countless people were moved with tears in their eyes.

"General Li's words are serious."

"You're not too late."

"If you hadn't come here, we would have been bullied and killed by these bastards."

"Yes."

"This has nothing to do with me, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, are real soldiers and good men who stand up to heaven and earth. All these things are caused by these bastards..."

Many people spoke one after another.

"Fathers and fellow countrymen."

"I have good news for you."

“Now, it’s not just Yanqing City that has been taken back.”

"Yesterday, our army defeated the rebels. Two of the three rebel leaders were killed by my general. The rebels have been defeated and can no longer be rampant."

"Today is Yanqing City, tomorrow it will be the cities that fell into the hands of the rebels, and finally it will be the nest of those rebels."

"I, Li Zheng, hereby promise."

"Any rebel will never be left alive."

"I want them to pay with blood and avenge all the people of the Tang Dynasty who died tragically at their hands."

"General Lee is mighty."

"General Li Zheng..."

The people watching around raised their hands and raised their arms and shouted Li Zheng's name.

"This may be the pure public sentiment."

Seeing this scene, Li Zheng thought to himself.

At this time.

Su Dingfang and Ding Yu came over again, with a look of hesitation on their faces.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be secretive."

Li Zheng looked at the two people and said.

"General."

"The general will be worried about you."

Ding Yu said.

"What are you worried about me for?"

Li Zheng smiled lightly.

"As for the disposal of surrendered soldiers, everything is handled by the Ministry of War. The general killed more than a thousand surrendered soldiers, which is beyond his authority. Imperial spies are everywhere. I am afraid that this move will be reported to Chang'an."

"Moreover, the general ordered not to retain any surrendered soldiers. If people in the court know this, they will probably say that the general killed the general, and will use this to impeach the general, especially those so-called Confucian civil servants."

Ding Yu said worriedly.

"hehe."

"Let him be."

"If there is such a person here and he can impeach me over this matter, then I really have nothing to fear."

Li Zheng sneered and didn't care at all.

One is that he understands the current emperor Li Shimin. If he is criticized harshly for this matter, then he is not the previous generation of British masters in history.

"Have you sent someone to deliver the good news?"

Li Zheng turned to look at Su Dingfang and asked.

"The heads of the two rebel leaders have been put into boxes and sealed, and sent to Chang'an together with the urgent report."

Su Dingfang nodded.

"After burying those offal, let the soldiers go and rest."

"Also, after all the horses have been fed, the remaining horses will be given to General Ding."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will immediately set off to attack and take back all the lost cities of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes."

Su Dingfang nodded in agreement.

After actually going to the battlefield with Li Zheng, Su Dingfang was completely convinced. “By the way, General Ding.”

Li Zheng looked at Ding Yu again.

"Please give me your orders, General."

Although he was not under the control of Li Zheng, Ding Yu obeyed Li Zheng's words.

If it weren't for Li Zheng, I'm afraid that Youzhou City would have been captured by Xue Yantuo's rebels at this moment. How could there be such a result? The rebels were directly defeated. Half of the hundreds of thousands of troops were killed, and all of them turned into a rout. Scattered in all directions.

"Send a message to His Highness the King of Wu, asking him to urge the court for clothing to keep out the cold, as well as food and supplies."

"The weather is getting colder and colder. When winter really comes, the soldiers will not be able to bear it without something to keep out the cold."

"These cannot be delayed any longer."

Li Zheng said in a very serious tone.

With his own strength and internal strength to protect himself, even in winter, he can use his internal strength to protect his body and ward off the cold, but this is simply not possible for ordinary soldiers.

The natural power of heaven and earth is the most terrifying.

In this land of northern Xinjiang, many people will die in the cold winter every winter. This has almost become an inevitable crisis, so strong alcohol is also a way to keep out the cold.

"The general's words will be conveyed to the general."

Ding Yu nodded immediately.

……

Outside Chang'an City.

A fast rider holds the command flag, carries a roller on his back, and two boxes hung on the horse, and gallops away towards Chang'an City.

"Good news from Youzhou!"

"Good news from Youzhou!"

"The enemy army won a great victory in Youzhou!"

"Get out of the way quickly."

When he arrived at the city gate and saw the soldiers on duty, the soldier who delivered the good news shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way."

"Good news from the north is coming."

Hear the sound.

The soldiers on duty in front of the city gate immediately made a way and quickly entered the city to open a way.

There are no obstacles.

The messenger holding the command flag quickly rushed into the city on horseback.

In Chang'an City.

Even princes and nobles cannot ride horses and gallop, but they can only report urgently and deliver good news to the troops.

This is true no matter which generation.

Tai Chi Hall.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"One hundred thousand pieces of warm cotton-padded clothes and spirits have been transported halfway. They can be transported to Youzhou within ten days at most."

Gao Shilian, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and began to play loudly.

"well done."

"You will be credited with this matter."

"The cold winter is coming and the war has stopped. We don't want our soldiers who fought bloody battles in the Tang Dynasty to be harmed by the cold winter."

Li Shimin said loudly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"All the cold-proof cotton-padded clothes are purchased by Chen first-hand and selected by me personally. There is absolutely no shoddy quality."

Gao Shilian immediately said that he did not understand what Li Shimin meant.

"So good."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Start your Majesty."

"Youzhou City, His Highness King Wu has sent an urgent report."

"Due to the rebellion of Xue Yantuo's tribe, most of the 40,000 troops in Youzhou were lost. Now I am reporting to the emperor, asking you to recruit troops in Youzhou to replenish your troops and guard Youzhou."

Li Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and started playing loudly.

"Youzhou's original strength was 45,000, right?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and asked.

"Return to the Emperor."

"exactly."

"But there was no sign of the rebellion of Xue Yantuo's tribe. The Youzhou defenders were caught off guard. There were only less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left out of 45,000."

Li Jing replied.

"It's really time to add more troops to guard the area."

"In this battle, Li Zheng's bandit army will probably suffer heavy losses."

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.
