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

Chapter 330 Good news reaches Chang'an

"All right."

"That's it for today's court meeting."

"Dear dear friends, you have no foundation to start the memorial, right?"

Li Shimin looked down at the court and said loudly.

"I have no basis to start this memorial."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

Li Shimin nodded and was about to announce the dismissal of the court.

at this time.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

"Report."

"Urgent report from the south."

"Urgent report from the Ministry of War."

Before they even reached the Tai Chi Hall, the voice had already reached them.

Hear the sound.

Li Shimin, who had just stood up, immediately became energetic and shouted with a smile: "Xuan, come in quickly."

every time.

Li Shimin would be truly happy only when he received the battle report from the southern border. On the one hand, he saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty winning, and on the other hand, his prince was safe and sound on the battlefield. This was something he was thankful for.

"The Emperor has a decree."

"The envoy is here to report the urgent situation." Wang De said loudly.

echoed.

Several soldiers quickly walked into the hall, and everything changed as before. Three emergency soldiers came back.

One carries a military newspaper on his back.

The other two people were holding two boxes.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

The three of them entered the hall and knelt down directly.

"Get down quickly."

"How's the battle going?"

Li Shimin stood and asked with a smile.

"A great victory in the south."

The leading soldier reported loudly, then took off the military newspaper from his back and held it up respectfully: "This is a victory report, written by the Prince of Jiangxia himself."

"Send it up."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Wang De immediately walked quickly towards the palace.

He took the good news and immediately presented it to Li Shimin.

The latter tore off the seal directly and took out the military newspaper.

What catches the eye.

Li Shimin's face became visibly excited, with a smile on his face.

"Good, good, good."

"Great."

"Li Zheng, he did not disappoint me."

"My fellow soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not disappoint me."

"A great victory, indeed a great victory."

Li Shimin laughed loudly.

It is conceivable that Li Shimin was shocked by the contents of this good news, and made him express such ecstasy.

All civil and military officials in the court were looking at Li Shimin, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Read it."

"This is the real joy of our Tang Dynasty."

"The joy of opening up and expanding the territory."

Li Shimin laughed loudly.

He handed the good news in his hand directly to Wang De.

Wang De took it respectfully, opened the good news, and read loudly: "My brother Li Daozong pays my respects."

"Not long ago."

"Our southern border army and the Liangzhou army led by General Li Zheng have joined forces in the capital of Chenla. Half of the territory of Zhenla Kingdom has been controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and our army has also begun to attack the capital of Zhenla."

"However, since the Zhao family of Zhenla already knew about our Tang offensive, they urgently transferred a large army from Nanzhao to defend. Zhao Guangxin even mobilized more than 200,000 troops to guard the capital of Zhenla. If this battle were to be attacked by conventional means, , Datang will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"For this reason." "General Li Zheng thought deeply and expected that Zhao Guangxin would send people to sue for peace. When Zhao Guangxin sent people to sue for peace, General Li Zheng temporarily delayed the attack and secretly ordered his younger brother to contact King Chen in the capital of Chenla. Give him the promise, and he should be consistent inside and outside.

"Five days later, General Li Zheng ordered the army to begin a general attack. The Chen family in Zhenla City took advantage of the situation and mobilized troops, creating some chaos."

"General Li Zheng rashly led his bodyguards, 20,000 heavy infantrymen, and tens of thousands of siege troops to storm the capital of Chenla under the cover of archers..."

That’s it.

Especially when he read that Li Zheng personally led the troops, Wang De couldn't help but hesitate.

"This brat never changes his mind despite repeated admonitions."

Li Shimin was shocked, and then he couldn't help but cursed secretly.

Obviously.

What Li Daozong mentioned in the memorial was intentional.

After all, the battle report must be reported truthfully. He directly cut open the city gate with his sword and pushed away the huge rocks blocking the door with his hands. Li Daozong really couldn't make it up, so he might as well report the truth directly.

After all, the crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter.

Li Daozong didn't dare.

Anyway, they have now won a great victory, and this is also Li Zheng's real achievement.

"Under the leadership of General Li Zheng, the soldiers are extremely brave."

"In just half an hour, General Li Zheng broke through the city gate and entered the city."

"Three days and three nights of bloody fighting."

"General Li Zheng beheaded Zhao Guangxin, beheaded his son Zhao Qian, and took control of the capital of Zhenla."

"In this battle, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered some casualties. The details need to be coordinated, but the total casualties will not exceed 40,000. We killed more than 100,000 enemies and captured nearly 100,000. It is a great victory."

"The capital of Zhenla has been decided, and the next step is to capture the entire territory of Zhenla and the entire Nanzhao Kingdom, within a year and a half at most."

"My brother Li Daozong pays my respects."

Wang De read loudly.

Hear the content of this good news.

Manchao was shocked.

"As expected of my brother-in-law, I'm glad you have made great achievements in this battle."

"Brother Li Zheng, you really envy others. It would be great if one day I could be like this in martial arts."

"It's a pity that I didn't go on the expedition with you this time. Otherwise, if you had decided with force, I, Wei Zheng, would definitely do my best to help Datang control this foreign land." Wei Zheng was also extremely emotional.

"Brother Li Zheng, with such a victory, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily." Tang Jian also thought to himself.

in the hall.

Those who were good friends with Li Zheng were all happy for Li Zheng. Those who had no grudge against Li Zheng were naturally shocked by Li Zheng's results.

of course.

One side is happy and the other side is worried.

Kong Xian and others were filled with anger.

"Damn Li Zheng, he actually achieved such military exploits again. It's hateful and infuriating."

"To deal with him, the only way to deal with him is to make Mr. Li Shen the grandson of the emperor, or even to succeed to the throne."

"Above the court, looking at the world, there can only be one between you and me."

"Otherwise, the only thing you can do is kneel down and apologize to me."

Kong Xian thought with hatred in his heart.

For him, he had already been fighting to the death with Li Zheng for a long time.

Unless Li Zheng kneels down to admit his mistake in front of everyone.

Otherwise he would never give up.

but.

is it possible?

A character who is a descendant of Shi Xiu still wants to be admitted by Li Zheng?
Not to mention that Li Zheng doesn't know how to do it, even from an outsider's perspective, what's wrong with Li Zheng?

In front of the dragon chair.

Seeing the horrified expressions of the civil and military officials in the court, Li Shimin had a look of pride on his face.

"This is my prince."

"Extremely brave."

"Now we are opening up territory for our Tang Dynasty."

"The territories of the two countries, with a population of tens of millions, will all belong to me, the Tang Dynasty, in a very short time."

"Although I am not the king who founded the country, I am the king who expanded it."

"In the future, this achievement will last forever, and the achievements of my emperor will always be recorded in the annals of history." Li Shimin thought with excitement.

At this time.

Wei Zheng stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, General Li has made great contributions to the country and opened up new territories. He deserves a heavy reward!"
