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

Chapter 40 Li Zheng was promoted for meritorious service, and the Qin brothers were deeply worried

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Mr. Li did a great job and lived up to my expectations of him."

"In the battle of the Turkic Royal Court, not only did the main Turkic force be annihilated, but Jieli Khan was also captured. Li Yaoshi is worthy of being the pillar of our Tang Dynasty."

"Now the main force of the Turks has been lost, and only the Yugu Qamdo tribe is left. It is already in decline. Under the pursuit of my manager Li, it will not take long before they will be annihilated."

"And that Jieli Khan, who took advantage of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, repeatedly invaded and became a serious problem for our Tang Empire. A few years ago, he forced me to sign the 'Wei River Covenant' with him on the Weihe River Bridge in Chang'an. It was simply This is my great shame and humiliation."

"Today, General Manager Li captured Jieli Khan, which finally relieved me of my bad temper."

"Capture Jieli Khan, and then pursue and annihilate Yugu Qamdo. The Turks will no longer exist, and our northern territory of the Tang Dynasty will be safe."

"Such a victory is the joy of our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and the laughter shook the hall.

Li Shimin's excitement also infected all the civil and military ministers present.

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

"The Tang Dynasty will last forever!"

"Your Majesty's talents and strategies are as great as those of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty..."

While the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated on the great victory in the north, they were also shocked by Li Jing's battle report.

This Northern Expedition, judging from the success reports, is really beautiful.

The Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty annihilated and captured a hundred thousand powerful Turkic cavalry with less than 20,000 casualties. The Tang Dynasty had never had a great victory since the founding of the country.

Not only did they annihilate the main force of the Turks, but they also captured the Turk king Jieli Khan alive. What a feat.

No wonder Li Shimin was so excited.

When Li Shimin came to his senses, he noticed that Li Jing specifically mentioned the first contributor in the victory report: Li Zheng.

Killing the Turkic general, rescuing the pioneer general Su Dingfang, taking the lead in breaking through the Turkic royal court, and capturing Jieli Khan alive, what a feat!
  No wonder Li Jing, a military god of his generation, would spend so much time introducing Li Zheng in his victory report.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin told Prince Li Chengqian:

"The Li Zheng who made the first contribution was mentioned in the victory report by Manager Li."

"He must be a truly outstanding person."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have received such praise and praise from the pharmacist."

"Prince."

"We must reuse and reward those who have made meritorious deeds."

"Immediately send someone to convey the order to Manager Li. I am waiting for him to annihilate the remnants of the Turks and wipe them off the map of the northern border."

Li Shimin looked excited.

"My son obeys the order."

Prince Li Chengqian bowed to receive the order.

Li Shimin looked at Prince Li Chengqian with joy, and then looked at the ministers at the foot of the steps:

"Today, I summon you to the court because I want to share with you all the fruits of victory brought to us by our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"There was a great victory in the north, Jieli Khan was captured, and the Turks were like grasshoppers after autumn, unable to jump up."

"I don't have to worry about Datang's northern border."

"There is no other agenda today, retreat!"

After Li Shimin announced his decision, he immediately announced the dispersal of the court, then stood up and left.

……

Unity time.

Chang'an Avenue, Protector's Palace.

Qin Haisheng, dressed in armor, came to the room of his eldest brother, Lord Protector Qin Jiansheng, with a solemn face.

After entering, he immediately closed the door.

"What's wrong, second brother?"

"You seem worried?"

"Is there something wrong with Yulinwei?"

Qin Jiansheng put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at his second brother Qin Haisheng with a solemn expression and asked in surprise. “Brother!”

"Something really happened."

"Things are out of our control."

"I'm worried something big is going to happen..."

Qin Haisheng said confusedly.

"Second brother, what on earth are you talking about?"

"Why can't we understand a word?"

"Although our father has passed away, the emperor and the eldest grandson Taiwei still take special care of my Qin family. Not only did I inherit my father's title and become a first-class lord, you were also specially appointed by the emperor as the Yulin Guard, ranking fifth. Taste."

"You and I, brothers, can have this title because of the emperor's grace."

"Where is it out of control?"

Qin Jiansheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Haisheng, confused.

"Big brother!"

"I'm talking about the boy from Jinyang Mansion, the boy named Li Zheng who was remembered by the girl."

Qin Haisheng took the tea cup, drank the tea in one gulp, and said hurriedly.

"Li Zheng?"

"Why did he get out of control? Can you explain it clearly in one sentence?"

Qin Jiansheng looked at his irritable brother and said with a frown.

"I went to the Ministry of War on errands today, and I heard from people at the Ministry of War that at the court today, Duke Wei and General Manager Li specifically mentioned Li Zheng's name in the report on the success of the Northern Territory."

As Qin Haisheng said this, his expression became more and more gloomy.

"What did you say?"

"The name Li Zheng was mentioned in the victory report? Are you sure this Li Zheng is Li Zheng from Jinyang Mansion? You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and there are many people with the same name. It is not surprising that there are people with the same name."

"Besides, this Li Zheng has been in the army for less than four months. Why did Duke Wei mention his name alone? You must have made a mistake. Is it a general named Li Zheng in the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

Qin Jiansheng said suspiciously.

"That's right, it's the Li Zheng that my sister has been thinking about all day long."

"At that time, I thought I had heard wrongly, so I asked my friends from the Ministry of War to check the archives of Li Zheng. The person recorded in it was Li Zheng from Changzhi County, Jinyang Prefecture. He was a registered merchant, fifteen years old and four years old. I joined the army in response to the Northern Expedition a few months ago, but because I was not old enough, I was accepted under the exception."

"This... is completely correct."

"This boy joined the army in Jinyang Mansion and was assigned to the Gongnu Camp."

Qin Haisheng said with a gloomy face.

In the Tang Dynasty, after all soldiers who joined the army were registered at the recruitment site, all files must be sent to the Ministry of War for archiving.

Qin Haisheng now works for the Yulin Guards and often goes to the Ministry of War on errands. He has made many friends in the Ministry of War.

After hearing the news, I asked someone to check your real file. After checking, I found that the Li Zheng in the victory report was the same Li Zheng who was humiliated by them in Jinyang Mansion.

Then he hurried back in panic to discuss with his elder brother.

"Second brother!"

"Why did Duke Wei mention this Li Zheng in the victory report?"

"He is just a top soldier who has been in the army for four months. What is there to say? Could it be that he has made some great achievements on the battlefield?"

Qin Jiansheng was still a little confused and didn't believe that a recruit who had only been in the army for four months would have any achievements on the battlefield.

"This time our Northern Expeditionary Army achieved a great victory, and it was Li Zheng who made the first contribution."

"Brother, you may not believe it, but the achievements this boy has made are simply unbelievable."

"First he shot and killed the Turkic general in the battle of Yinshan, and rescued General Su Dingfang of the vanguard army during the siege of the Turkic Royal Court. Then he took the lead in attacking the Turkic Royal Court and captured Jieli Khan alive."

"Because this boy has made such great contributions, he has been promoted to General Dingyuan, commanding the vanguard army."

"It is said that the emperor will also reward him."

Qin Haisheng said in one breath what was described in the victory report.
