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

Chapter 74 Imperial Edict: Li Zhengguan was promoted to the third rank and returned to General of Virtue
  I heard Li Jing commenting on him in front of all the soldiers.

Li Zheng also had a look of shock on his face.

He quickly bowed and saluted:
  "The General Manager is so complimentary! You will definitely deserve it!"

"No, General Lee."

"You can fully bear what I say."

"Your meritorious service in the Battle of Mobei is of absolute significance to the stability of our country in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Jing said solemnly.

Subsequently.

He looked at the deputy general manager Zhang Gongjin beside him, and handed over the head of Yugu Changdu and the Turkic national seal in his hand:

"Manager Zhang, please keep the head of Yuguchangdu Khan and the seal of the Turkic state, and send a special person to Chang'an to deliver it to His Majesty, and report General Li Zheng's military exploits in Mobei."

"Also, the heads of the Turkic princes beheaded by the vanguard soldiers will be presented to His Majesty."

"I believe that His Majesty will be very happy when he learns that Li Zheng led the vanguard army to achieve such brilliant results."

"Manager Zhang, please go and make arrangements in person!"

Li Jing looked serious.

"General, take your orders!"

Zhang Gongjin also had a serious face at this moment, and solemnly took the head and national seal handed over by Li Jing.

"Li Zheng, I have something else to do."

After Li Jing finished explaining Zhang Gongjin, he looked at Li Zheng and said with a smile.

"Please give me the chief steward's orders."

Li Zheng bowed and replied.

"Just when you entered Mobei to pursue Yugu Changdu, His Majesty issued an imperial edict to our Northern Expeditionary Army, including a special reward for you."

Li Jing smiled and took an imperial edict from the guard.

"Li Zheng listens."

Li Jing opened the imperial edict with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Li Zheng, listen to the order."

Li Zheng knelt on one knee with a solemn expression.

"The commander of the Tang Dynasty's vanguard army, Dingyuan General Li Zheng, led the vanguard army to attack the Turkic royal city. After several months of wandering, he repeatedly defeated the Turkic armies and captured the royal court of the Turkic grassland. Such great achievements should be set as an example for our Tang army. We should be honored and honored. reward."

"now."

"Li Zheng, the third-level official of the Jin Dynasty, was granted the title of General of the Third Rank of Gui De, with a salary of 500 gold, a thousand households in the city, and a general's mansion."

"Chin this."

Li Jing read out the imperial edict solemnly.

"Your Majesty, Li Zheng, please accept the order and thank me!"

Li Zheng knelt down to receive the order with an excited look on his face.

I was even more excited.

"The current emperor has promoted me to the third level on the basis of Li Jingguan's promotion to the fifth level. Now he has been promoted from the third level to a general, and he has also given himself a general palace in Chang'an."

"When the credit for killing the Turkic Khan Yugu Qamdo this time is reported, I am afraid that I will be promoted to an official position and receive greater rewards."

"By then, I will be considered an important member of the imperial court. I will have my own residence and status in Chang'an."

"I can marry Wan'er back to my house in a graceful manner."

Li Zheng thought happily.

For Li Zheng, being promoted to the third level by the emperor's official was really an unexpected surprise. Li Zheng did not expect it at all.

Those who were promoted to the third rank of generals were considered high-ranking generals in the Tang Dynasty military circles. In the Northern Expeditionary Army, except for Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Xiaojie, and Su Dingfang, there were only four people who were promoted to the third rank. Then he was considered to be the generals of the third rank.

After all, he who led the 10,000 vanguard army before was only temporarily replaced by the fifth-grade Dingyuan General.

Now, as General Gui De, he is a very important member of the army and can command an army of tens of thousands.

Totally worthy of high status and authority.

but.

Li Zheng is only sixteen years old!
  At the age of sixteen, he was a third-rank general, a unique thing in the Tang Dynasty.

and.

This imperial decree was personally issued by the current emperor, which shows that Li Zheng has left a deep impression on the emperor, and it also means that the future is limitless.

After Li Jing read the imperial edict, his serious expression changed. He stepped forward with a smile, helped Li Zheng up, and handed the imperial edict to Li Zheng.

"His Majesty also said that he hopes that you will make great achievements for the Tang Dynasty again. The future commander of the Tang Dynasty will be you, Li Zheng."

"However, more than a month has passed when His Majesty said these words. Now that you have killed the Turkic Khan Yugu Changdu and swept across the Mobei Royal Court, I am afraid that you have exceeded His Majesty's expectations of you."

"You have accomplished such a great feat this time, even I don't know how your Majesty will reward you." Li Jing patted Li Zheng's shoulder hard and said with emotion.

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to go to pieces."

Li Zheng said humbly.

"Ha ha!"

"You boy."

Hearing this, Li Jing didn't know what to say.

Why for Datang.

As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty and the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing knew very well what the soldiers went through life and death for, to get ahead and to gain promotions and titles.

As for everything else, it's all false.

"Master Chief!"

"Is there nothing else?"

"If there is nothing else, I will have one more thing to do!"

Li Zheng put the imperial edict in his arms and said to Li Jing with a serious expression.

"If you have anything to do, just go and do it!"

Li Jing nodded.

heard.

Li Zheng slowly turned around and faced the soldiers of the vanguard army who had followed him through life and death.

Sudden.

He cried out:
  "Brothers, I will take you home!"

Hear this.

All the soldiers inside and outside the Datang military camp were moved.

Although these soldiers did not follow Li Zheng into the desert for thousands of miles or follow Li Zheng to participate in the bloody battle in Mobei, they clearly felt what kind of hell Li Zheng led the three thousand vanguard troops in Mobei for more than a month. Such a brutal battle.

The blood coagulated on the bodies of the soldiers of the vanguard army includes the enemy's and their own blood. It is all the result of fighting with their lives.

Under Li Zheng's order.

Many soldiers of the vanguard army untied the sleeping brothers Paoze from their backs and carried them towards the Datang military camp.

to now.

They finally arrived home.

For the sacrificed soldiers, returning to the Datang Military Camp is returning to everyone, a common home for soldiers.

"Brother, I'm taking you home."

"The General did it."

"He took us home with him."

"We returned to the military camp and our home in Datang."

"Rest in peace!"

"You didn't stay in a foreign country. Let's go home together."

"Go home..."

Many soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly with tears.

The sun was shining brightly at this time.

unexpected.

There was a cold and solemn sound of wind, and it seemed that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were responding to their brothers.

They went home.

see this scene.

All the soldiers inside and outside the Datang military camp were shocked. The soldiers had tears in their eyes, and tears could not stop falling from their eyes.

The love of robes.

The friendship of robe Ze.

As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were brothers of life and death on the battlefield. How could they not understand?
  How could they not understand the meaning of this?

perhaps.

Most of them don't know each other and don't know each other's names.

But to them, the word "Paoze" is the name that every soldier of the Tang Dynasty calls his comrades around him.

No matter who he is, he regards Paoze as a brother of life and death, a brother to whom he can give his back.
