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

Chapter 78 Li Shimin’s expected goal
  Li Shimin has been waiting for news from the north for too long.

Even when handling memorials, they would ask about the war in the north.

After Li Zheng led the vanguard army into Mobei, he was very much looking forward to what the battle would be like and what the outcome would be.

"The minister leads the order."

Lieutenant Habayashi stood up and retreated, going to convey the order.

Soon.

outside the hall.

Following the Yulin Army were dozens of Tang soldiers with bright armor.

"Why did so many people come to deliver the battle report this time?"

Li Shimin looked at the soldiers outside the hall with a look of surprise.

After the leader of the Tang Army was checked by the Yulin Army to see if he had any soldiers, he quickly walked into the hall with a solemn look and knelt down.

Then he raised his head, with sincerity and fear on his face, and said loudly:

"My minister Wu Yuanlong, commander of the First Cavalry Battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Pioneer Army, came to Chang'an to present a gift to His Majesty and report the battle on the orders of General Manager Li and Deputy General Manager Zhang."

As the commander of the first battalion of the Pioneer Army, with an official rank of seventh rank, this time he was able to come to Chang'an to meet the emperor under Li Jing's general order. This was also the first time in the world, and the tension in his heart was self-evident.

At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but trembling. He didn't know whether it was excitement or fear.

Can't blame him for that either.

Although Wu Yuanlong charged on the battlefield and went through life and death, there were not many people in the world who could face him without fear when facing the emperor and the emperor.

This is imperial power!

"A gift?"

Li Shimin had an inexplicable surprise on his face:
  "What gift?"

"Show the emperor."

"After the Turkic King's City was captured by our vanguard army, General Li Zheng of the vanguard army knew that the war with the Turks was not over yet, so he led his three thousand elite cavalry into Mobei, where they fought for hundreds of miles and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Turks."

"Today is the time to report the results of the battle."

Wu Yuanlong said solemnly.

"what?"

"The vanguard general Li Zheng led a mere three thousand light cavalry into the hinterland of Mobei?"

"Aren't you going to die?"

"You must know that although the Turks were driven out of the grassland by our main force of the Tang Dynasty, Mobei is their core area, and the strength of the Turks' remaining soldiers and tribes cannot be underestimated."

"Mobei, we, the Central Plains people, have not set foot in it for thousands of years. Li Zheng dares to go deep into it with only three thousand cavalry. Isn't this like taking the initiative to die?"

Wu Yuanlong just finished speaking.

The ministers in the hall were all shocked beyond measure, and their expressions were as wonderful as they could be.

this matter.

Except for Li Shimin, Prince Li Chengqian, and Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling, no one else in the entire court knew about it.

after all.

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a trivial matter either.

"quiet."

Li Shimin frowned and shouted to the courtiers who were muttering in low voices in the hall.

Wu Yuanlong was reporting, but was interrupted by the ministers in the hall. Li Shimin was naturally unhappy.

He had waited for so long to finally get the news, and was interrupted. He really wanted to curse directly.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Seeing that Li Shimin looked unhappy and his eyes were cold, the officials did not dare to discuss any more and shut up.

"After General Li Zheng led 3,000 light cavalry into Mobei, he encountered the Turkic general Sijie Aijin who was retreating from the northeast in the first battle. General Li led his troops to capture the fortress and shot Sijie Aijin dead."

"After that, General Li led the vanguard army to sweep away more than 20 Turkic tribes, and captured the royal court of Mobei half a month ago."

When Wu Yuanlong said this, his tone was full of pride and he started loudly.

Why.

Wu Yuanlong was sent to Chang'an by Li Jing to present the memorial because he was directly under the command of the vanguard general Li Zheng and had personally experienced the entire battle of Mobei.

It was even more vivid for him to come to Chang'an to report to the emperor.

After learning that the Royal Court of Mobei was breached and the Turkic Khan Yugu Changdu was beheaded, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition understood clearly.

If this news reaches Chang'an, it will definitely cause shock in the court and even the whole world. This also made the Tang Dynasty completely proud and proud, and severely attacked the Turks, thus further shocking the world.

"Take a mere three thousand light cavalry into Mobei and capture the Turkic Mobei Royal Court?"

"Isn't this a joke?"

"However, what if we really attack the Mobei Turkic Royal Court? Although the Turks were defeated, the Turks have been operating in the northern grasslands for hundreds of years, and their heritage is still there. There must be at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the royal court, and only 3,000 light cavalry. Attacking the royal court rashly is tantamount to self-destruction."

After hearing Wu Yuanlong's report, the officials were shocked and at the same time subconsciously speculated about the outcome of the attack on the Royal Court.

"go on."

"Did Li Zheng break through the royal court?"

Li Shimin stared at Wu Yuanlong and asked loudly.

this moment.

His focus is entirely on this, if the Pioneer Army really does it.

Breaking through the Turkic Royal Court would be a truly great achievement.

"Report to the emperor."

"General Li took advantage of the darkness and used the strategy of suspicious soldiers. He burned the royal court and attacked from the east to the west. He lured the main Turkic force away from the royal court. After the main Turkish force left, the general personally led two thousand light cavalry to attack the Mobei royal court."

"In this battle, the general led his soldiers into the royal tent. The general personally beheaded the Turkic Khan Yugu Changdu, and his soldiers killed all the Turkic princes and ministers."

Wu Yuanlong's tone was high-pitched and excited.

"Did...really?"

"Li Zheng really killed the Turkic Khan Yugu Qamdo?"

Li Shimin was a little excited when he heard this, and his tone trembled, but there was unconcealable expectation in his eyes.

Attack the Turks and avenge the shame of being forced to sign an alliance under the city on the banks of the Weishui River.

In recent years, the Turks have continued to harass the northern border of the Tang Dynasty and captured the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Only then did Li Shimin decide to defeat the Turks in a battle.

Only then did Li Jing launch his Northern Expedition against the Turks. Unexpectedly, the battle was so vigorous. Not only did he capture Jieli Khan alive, he also beheaded Yugu Changdu.

The two Turkic Khans were either captured or beheaded.

Rejoice!

carefree!

"Commanders, present your gifts!"

Just as Li Shimin was thinking about it, Wu Yuanlong shouted loudly behind him.

Respond.

Dozens of soldiers from the vanguard army walked into the hall with neat steps.

Each soldier holds a wooden box in his hand.

At this time, Li Shimin also slowly stood up from the dragon chair, staring down.

All the civil and military officials in the hall also looked over.

"Open."

Wu Yuanlong ordered loudly.

Respond.

All the soldiers opened the wooden boxes in their hands.

In the eyes of Li Shimin and all the ministers, each wooden box contained a head, and the soldier's wooden box at the front contained the head of the Turkic Khan Yugu Qamdo.

"It's him who wants to conquer Changdu, the Turkic Khan."

"Hahaha."

"I didn't expect it. We really didn't expect it."

Li Shimin clapped his hands, pointed at the wooden box and laughed.

At the beginning.

Li Shimin issued an order to attack the Turks, just hoping to annihilate the Turks, and preferably drive them far away, but he did not expect to annihilate the Turks.

Because he understood that this was too difficult, and if he could drive the Turks into the Mobei Desert, he would have achieved his expected goal.

but.

Li Zheng gave him a huge surprise this time.
