Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 47 Lubu goes to Chiyu Pass, Jieshu spreads to Taiji Palace

April [-]th, Wangri Grand Court Meeting
Li Shimin was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a Kowloon crown on his head. He was sitting in the Tai Chi Hall. Even Li Yuan, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, appeared in the court hall, sitting next to Li Shimin, listening to Li Jing's report. The result of the war with nearly 30 people and 100 million people in the Tang army.

Li Shimin has already sent Li Ji to serve as the marching chief of Hebei Road, the governor of Youzhou to station in Youzhou to guard Hebei Road, Yu Chigong to serve as the governor of Daizhou and lead troops to station in Daizhou to defend Henan Road, Li Xiaogong to be the chief marching officer of Longyou Road, and the governor of Lanzhou to lead troops to guard Lanzhou. On Longyou Road, Li Daozong served as the marching chief of Jiannan Road to guard Jiannan Road, and Changsun Wuji and others have returned to Chang'an.

"The war lasted nearly two months. A total of 30 troops were dispatched, 3 were killed, and more than 40 were seriously injured. The Turkic people and Liang Shidu, Luo Yi dispatched a total of more than 10 troops and horses, and nearly 10 Turkic logistics women and children. More than 26 people were killed or could not be cured, 10 were captured and surrendered, and more than 30 others fled back to the grasslands. A total of more than 15 horses, 80 cattle, and more than [-] sheep were captured." Li Jing was holding the battle report and shouted Standing in the hall and chanting, it can be said that this is a big victory, a hearty victory. Not only did Datang not lose money, but he also made a lot of money.

Listening to Li Jing's post-war report, the court ministers were all happily discussing loudly. After all, for so many years, they have heard how many people died in the Turkic Kouguan, where they were looted and needed food relief. After a long time, the Turks sent people again. To extort money, Li Yuan listened to his subordinates to give gifts to the Turks when he raised his troops to prevent the Turks from attacking the rear, and was blackmailed by the Turks a few years before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This unprecedented victory made everyone understand that the Turks were not invincible. It can be said that this victory boosted the confidence of everyone in Li Tang. Even Li Yuan, who was mentally weak, was inexplicably excited. Li Yuan also made confessions to the Turks many times, and he must have resisted it from the bottom of his heart. This time, he gave him a breath of anger. He couldn't help but look at Li Shimin with relief, and felt that it was right for his second son to be the emperor, and regretted that he hadn't done it sooner. Come to understand, if you understand and make a decision earlier, the eldest son and the third son will not die. It just so happened that Li Shimin also looked at Li Yuan, understood his old father's mood, and couldn't help holding Li Yuan's hands comfortingly.

"The retreat was timely in this war, and soldiers guarded the Turkic captives to help the spring plowing. The spring plowing in Youzhou and other places was not affected, but the Guanzhong war was late, and the spring plowing did not catch up. But later, a large number of Turkic captives helped to replant. As long as The sage’s part of the tax reduction can also ensure that there is no harm, and this time the Turkic captives are used to help the spring plowing and farming, which is well received by the people, and here are three letters of thanks from the people.” Changsun Wuji went out to play.

"Yes, decree to reduce taxes by [-]% in areas affected by the war."Li Shimin made a decree and happily asked people to hand over Wanmin's book, took a look at it, and ordered people to frame it and put it in the Ministry of Education of China to hang it up, which means that people are the most important thing, and people's livelihood needs to be considered more when promulgating government orders. Flattering to Li Shimin flocked out, and Li Shimin laughed, and Li Shimin thought that he surpassed Qin Huang and far surpassed Han Wu, so he quickly stopped.

It's not that Datang is flattering, and as an employee, if the boss leads everyone to do a big thing and you don't even give them a compliment, it means that you are almost an artist in the world, and you should say something nice in front of the boss so that the boss will have a deep impression of you , I will only come to you if there is something to do. After all, there are so many officials in the Tang Dynasty who are capable of handling a lot of things.

"Although 20 troops from the Guannei government were mobilized this time, each family has someone to help replant spring plowing, so morale has not been affected, but everyone is very happy," Li Jing continued. Everyone understood after thinking about it. There are not many good things like military meritorious service, and there are not many good things like helping the family with work.

The common people know the benefits, and other people are also thinking that there are so many lands in their home. It would be great if some Turkic people help to do coolies for free. All kinds of thoughts of the people couldn't help but start to move.

Li Shimin asked: "How should the 20 Turkic people be arranged for the [-] Turkic people who have lost their minds and brought their troops to surrender. How to arrange them, you have to come up with a charter. What do you think, Minister Fei?" Li Yuan still wanted to give him face in Li Shimin The first one asked his old friend Fei Ji,

Fei Ji saluted Li Yuan and Li Shimin and said: "I think that the Turkic people don't know etiquette and are barbaric by nature. They are obsessed with losing their minds and try to invite the whole family to vote, but they can't refuse. It's better to choose a place to set up a prison state for resettlement. As for other Turkic people It can also be arranged in such a decentralized way.”

"Ministers seconded, ministers seconded" Several old officials of Li Yuan stood up and seconded to express their agreement.
"Your minister disagrees, not to mention where the Jiyi Prefecture is located. Minister Fei also said that the Turks are barbaric. If the internal affiliation is placed in the Central Plains, what if the Turks attack again and cooperate with the inside and the outside?" Xiao Yu went out to play and said, So several officials in Jiangnan also voiced their support.

"But there are still people who have different opinions," Li Shimin asked, nodding and scanning.

"My minister thinks that one of the Zhishisili can be placed in Jijizhou according to Xiang Fei's words, and the other Turks might as well go to build the plank road in the middle of Shu." Wei Zheng, who had just been promoted by Li Shimin to be a royal doctor, said in a statement.

Wei Zheng's words made all the ministers secretly startled. You must know that those who build plank roads are all on the cliffs, and they have to be hung with ropes around their waists to dig. Usually, death row prisoners are organized to repair them. Everyone died, and suddenly the Confucian ministers headed by Kong Yida began to criticize Wei Zheng.Said that it hurt the harmony of heaven, and no one dared to surrender in the future, so he must fight to the death. Li Shimin saw that both sides were reasonable, so he had to temporarily appoint Zhi Shisili as a right Weiwei general.The other people's arrangements let everyone submit the book, so he thought about it carefully,

In Chang'an City, there was a steady flow of people coming and going, and there was no sign of the impact of the war at all. Orchid was also standing outside the wine shop in tulle to attract customers, revealing most of the snowball, which attracted the attention of passers-by, and roadside vendors were also working hard. Woodcutters with firewood, fishermen carrying fish, passers-by in a hurry, businessmen with goods, and a group of children playing leisurely on the side of the road form a beautiful picture of Chang'an in a prosperous age.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were standing on both sides of the city gate under the leadership of the team to guard the security. Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in front of them. Be on guard, after all, it was not long after the war, and you must be on guard against scattered Turkic people coming to kill you.
From far away, there was a continuous shout of "Shuofang great victory, Liang Shidu confers the head, Shuofang great victory, Liang Shidu confers the head, Shuofang great victory, Liang Shidu confers the head", the team is shouting quickly, "Get out of the way, hurry up! Get out of the way, it's a sign of victory" shouted, and hurriedly helped the crowd to disperse,

Thirty knights and sixty war horses, one person and two riders, took turns shouting for victory. The crowd heard the victory and didn't need to drive them away, they all moved out of the way. Hearing the shouts of the knights running past, they couldn't help but excitedly followed along and talked all the way. , I don't know who took the lead in shouting "Datang Wansheng," and everyone shouted at once. After a while, the whole Chang'an city was boiling with shouts. Wu Deli, who had just defeated the Turks, compensated the people in Guanzhong and reduced taxes, and arranged for the Turks to help with replanting. The people are very simple, and if they treat them well, they will sincerely support them. By the time the Suzakus and the entire Chang'an city had roared with excitement,
The Taiji Palace was discussing something, when suddenly they faintly heard a loud shout from outside and it became louder and louder. Gradually everyone stopped talking, Li Shimin heard it too, stood up in surprise and shouted: " Come on, find out what happened outside."

"Here," after the reply, only the sound of armor and running came from outside. No one in the hall was talking, waiting for the return in silence. After all, they have experienced wars and are very sensitive to such sudden noises. , Li Shimin hesitated for a while and said to himself: "I seem to hear shouts from outside, Datang Wansheng?"

As the sound grew louder and closer. "That's right, it's calling Tang Wansheng," everyone in the hall heard clearly now,
At this time, a guard ran in, cupped his fists and bent down to salute: "Report to the sage, just now the guards of the Zhuquemen sent news that Shuofang had won a great victory, and the people of Chang'an gathered outside the Zhuquemen to cheer. This is a good news." Hold it up front.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly walked forward to pick it up. After checking the sealant, he opened the quick view and couldn't help laughing.

"Why is Erlang so happy, and how is Shuofang's battle going?" Seeing that Li Shimin was happy and knew it was a good thing, Li Yuan couldn't help asking eagerly.

"Happy event, great happy event for my father, Feng Daiwen led 2000 troops to chase and kill Jie Li. After Jie Li let Liang Shidu's general Li Zhengbao and 500 Turkic people die, Li Zhengbao surrendered to Datang before the battle, and then contacted Xin Liao'er to sacrifice the city. At the same time, Liang Luoren contacted Li Zhengbao, Xin Liaoer, and Liang Luoren killed Liang Shidu at the top of the city, and now Feng Daiwen has controlled Shuofang, let me send someone to take over the guard," Li Shimin said happily to Li Yuan loudly.

Now the entire court couldn't sit still and there was a lot of discussion. Who knew that Feng Daiwen took 2000 people to win Shuofang so easily, and everyone was very envious. Although this can be said to be a bargain, the credit is not small. After all, Shuofang is a big sect. As long as Shuofang is in hand, it will not be easy for the grassland to attack the Central Plains now, let alone attack Chang'an like this time.

Li Shimin said with a happy face: "Enfeoff Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Tan, as the governor of Shuofang, and set up Zhang Gongjin, the guardian of Anxi, as the governor, with 2 troops, and 3 troops can be recruited in Shuofang. They will start today. Feng Daiwen will be the deputy governor. After arriving, take people back to Chang'an to be sealed."

After giving the order, Li Shimin turned around and said to Li Yuan: "Father, why don't you move to the Vermilion Bird Gate to have fun with the people, Li Yuan readily agrees,,,,"
