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

Chapter 584 Good news reaches Chang'an

"Zhao Ming."

Li Zheng shouted with authority.

"The minister is here."

A figure quickly ran towards Li Zheng.

"Preach my will."

"I, the Great Tang Emperor, can only grant any general who breaks through to the Golden Peak the elixir to become a Grandmaster."

"Whoever makes military achievements for the Tang Dynasty will be rewarded with more elixirs." Li Zheng said in a majestic voice.

"The Stone Khanate."

"Now I am under your control."

"In about a month, we will return to Chang'an."

"It's enough for Li Ke and his men to guard here.

"But we still need to convey the order to Hou Junji first, telling him not to kill anymore."

Li Zheng thought to himself.

This battle went very smoothly.

It was so smooth that Li Zheng couldn't even imagine it.

If the emperor of the Shi Khanate had been a little tougher and committed suicide to live and die with the capital, Li Zheng would not have been able to control the Shi Khanate so easily and make this huge country become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If he doesn't surrender, Li Zheng will have to work hard to support a puppet. However, it can be imagined that there will be other royal families of the Shi Khanate in the vast territory of the Shi Khanate. Even a puppet cannot directly obey the people.

But the emperor of the Shi Khanate was different, he was the emperor.

only.

The current change in his identity is that he has changed from an emperor who was high above everyone else and not controlled by anyone to one who is checked and balanced by the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to him, there are also powerful ministers of the Shi Khanate.

An empire thus became a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.

Time flies.

More than twenty days have passed.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

It is still the Tai Chi Hall.

"Report."

"Your Majesty."

"Report on the crimes of the Shi Khanate has been sent back."

"This is the battle report."

"The Emperor specifically instructed that it be read at the Tai Chi point."

"To inspire the hearts of all officials in the Tang Dynasty, and then announce it to the world, to inspire the hearts of all people in the world."

Zheng Xuan stood up, holding a brocade box in his hand.

But the look on his face showed how excited she was.

"Read it."

"I also want to see what the results of your emperor's battle in the Shi Khanate are."

"It has been almost nine months since he left Chang'an."

"Now that spring has passed, my Tang Dynasty has completed spring ploughing."

"I handled state affairs for him for another nine months."

Li Shimin said with a somewhat helpless tone.

Hear this.

All the officials in the court laughed.

As for their emperor, only the retired emperor who was in a high position could criticize him. Apart from him, no one else in the world dared to do so.

It’s among the people today.

Anyone who dares to say a bad word about the current emperor will definitely be scolded to death by countless people, and may even be beaten.

Because of the current emperor's national policy, every citizen in the world has land to cultivate, and trade routes have been opened up, so the people live a prosperous life.

Countless people are grateful to the current emperor.

Who dares to criticize?

and.

It is well known to everyone in the world that the current emperor likes to fight on the battlefield. After knowing that the current emperor went to the battlefield in the northern border, many young and strong people in government offices all over the world wanted to enlist directly in the army and serve the country. They wanted to follow their emperor to kill the enemy and expand the territory.

But unfortunately, the Ministry of War is completing the streamlining and integration of the army and has not recruited soldiers, which has also caused countless young and strong people to return home disappointed.

In any era.

If an emperor were so warlike, he would probably be summoned to the imperial court and would be criticized and cursed by countless people.

Being bellicosity is equivalent to militarism, which is equivalent to bringing great taxation pressure to the people that Scorpio loves.

But now that Li Zheng is in charge of the country, the treasury is full and there is abundant money and grain, which is enough to sustain the army's expedition without affecting people's livelihood.

Naturally, Li Zheng would not be accused of warmongering.
"The minister obeys the order."

Zheng Xuan slowly opened the brocade box.

There is a battle report inside.

Zheng Xuan opened the battle report, turned around and looked at his colleagues in the court.

"In February of the third year of Jianwu."

"I led 400,000 troops of the Great Tang to the Shi Khanate, and ordered an attack on the capital of the Shi Khanate from all sides."

"Use Li Ke, Su Dingfang, Li Sheng, Feng Cheng and other generals as the vanguard and gather troops to attack the capital of the Shi Khanate."

"It took a day and a night."

"Capture the capital of the Shi Khanate."

"This battle."

"58,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed their lives for the country, most of them were injured by stray arrows during the siege."

"In terms of casualties, we killed more than 250,000 enemies and captured nearly 300,000."

"Completely capture the capital of the Shi Khanate."

"After the city is breached."

"The Emperor of the Shi Khanate and most of the powerful ministers have submitted to the Tang Dynasty. The Shi Khanate is now in name only and is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

The more than 20 million people within its borders will all be vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and all resources within its borders will belong to the Tang Dynasty."

"This battle took nine months to achieve results."

"It is more than one year and three months ahead of schedule compared to my original plan of two years to conquer the Shi Khanate."

Zheng Xuan read the battle report, and the more he read, the more excited his face became.

For him.

For him, a Minister of War, it was almost impossible to achieve such a result.

A powerful empire with a population of more than 20 million people actually became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?

How is this possible?
Let alone Zheng Xuan.

Even the civil and military officials in the court were shocked by the battle report and were all stunned.

On the Dragon Throne.

There was also an expression of surprise on Li Shimin's old face.

Obviously.

If this battle report was not sent directly from the northern border, he would never have believed it.

"A great alien nation with a population of more than 20 million was defeated just like that? In less than a year, our Tang Dynasty actually controlled such a large vassal state?"

"Your Majesty, you are worthy of being the emperor, the God of War of our Tang Dynasty."

"Such a result is much better than Fenglangjuxu. With such a huge empire, such a large population, and such a large territory, how many resources would it have?"

“Less than a year.”

"The empire has changed hands."

"God bless the Tang Dynasty."

"From this battle, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was so successful is that the foreign emperor was too greedy for life and afraid of death. If he didn't surrender, it would not be so easy for the Tang Dynasty to control the Shi Khanate. It would take at least two years, after all, the Shi Khanate has a vast territory."

"But now, with the surrender of their emperor, all problems will be solved. Once he surrenders, our Tang Dynasty can use him to control the Shi Khanate and make everything in the Shi Khanate work for our Tang Dynasty."

"For such a cowardly emperor of a foreign race, may God bless the Tang Dynasty..."

All the ministers in the court laughed and started talking.

For them.

It means a lot to the entire Tang Dynasty.

A country's vast resources and a country's huge population are all vassals of the Tang Dynasty.

but.

While the whole court was ecstatic and congratulating the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon throne, was looking forward to it: "The Shi Khanate has been controlled by Li Zheng. Will we get Tianxiang Doukou?"
