Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 184 The Arrival of the Edict
"I heard from the scouts that Duke An wiped out Xue Yantuo's [-] vanguard army this time? I don't know what to expect?" Li Chengqian laughed.

After talking about the casualties of our army, it is natural to talk about what kind of spoils have been obtained after this battle is over.

As for the issue of pensions for casualties, the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated how the pensions for soldiers killed in battle should be distributed.

Li Chengqian didn't have to worry about this at all, and he didn't have to worry that someone would dare to deduct the martyr's pension.

"Your Highness! This time, the enemy army fell into our trap and was killed by General He Tian. The enemy will be beheaded by His Highness's subordinates."

Zhi Shisili told Li Chengqian the whole process, and told Li Chengqian how his people cut off the head from his hand.

Li Chengqian could clearly hear a trace of displeasure in his tone of obsession.

After all, depending on yourself, you have to take the first blood and head of the enemy general. For a general, this is such a glorious thing. In the future, if you lose your mind and talk about this battle with others, this Awesome enough for him to brag for half a year.

But at this time, Cheng Yaojin came out on the way and snatched the first blood of the enemy general who was not able to lose his mind.

For Zhishisili, this is robbing him of his personal glory.

If this gets out, people won't be laughing out loud!The dignified Turkic general, not only failed to kill the enemy's main general, but was also cut off by a brat.

It's already very good that Zhishuisili didn't go berserk on the spot!

If it was Li Chengqian, who dared to snatch his spoils, the crown prince would have turned the table over to deal with him directly, and would have been polite to him.

If Qiu Shenji hadn't been a subordinate official of the Eastern Palace, if he did it, the prince might feel bad, and he would have done it long ago if he lost his mind!
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and motioned for Zhishili to continue talking without looking sideways.

"Our army captured 9000 enemy soldiers and [-] horses..." Zhi Shi Si Li continued.

Except for the good harvest of war horses, the others are not worth mentioning. Datang's equipment is much better than Xue Yantuo's.

The prince didn't like Xue Yantuo's weapons and armor at all.

The crown prince doesn't like it, but he wants it very much. These weapons and equipment from the enemy are a good resource for Zhisili and even the Turks.

With this batch of equipment, they will be able to arm more soldiers.

Li Chengqian, Zhi Shisili and others distributed the spoils. As the crown prince, Li Chengqian directly wanted [-] horses, and they were the best horses.

Li Chengqian generously gave up the rest of the spoils to Zhi Shisili, Liu Lan and others to distribute by themselves.

As for how to deal with the captives in this way, this matter naturally fell on Liu Lan, the governor of Xiazhou. After all, these captives are now being held in the prison of his governor's mansion.

After everyone negotiated the distribution plan, when they were about to discuss the next action plan, Li Er's edict was finally sent to Xiazhou from Liaodong.

Zhi Shisili took the sealed imperial edict, hid in a corner, removed the wax seal on it, and poured out the edict inside.

This is the imperial edict issued by Li Er to the one who has lost his mind. Others cannot be read, not even Prince Li Chengqian. After reading it, return to everyone.

"What did His Majesty say in the edict?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty said that Xue Yantuo has repeatedly provoked my country's prestige in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty decided to send troops to destroy Xue Yantuo. During this period, he must block the attack of Xue Yantuo's army."

"Everything waits for His Majesty to come back from Liaodong before dispatching troops to destroy Xue Yantuo. His Majesty has issued an order for Jiangxia King Li Daozong and the others to lead the troops and be ready. As long as His Majesty returns, they will launch a war against Xue Yantuo." Zhi Sisi said forcefully.

"Does Your Majesty have nothing else to say besides these?" Li Chengqian said.

"I don't quite understand what His Highness means, His Majesty's imperial edict did say that." Zhi lost his thoughts and said forcefully.

"Did Your Majesty not mention a few words about the widow in the imperial edict?" Li Chengqian said.

Just now when he saw that Zhi lost his mind and talked about the contents of the edict, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at him from time to time.

It can be more or less guessed that the matter of killing Xue Yantuo mentioned in Li Er's imperial edict is just a incidental mention.

The main content is still worried about the safety of his son.

After all, Li Chengqian was born and grew up in the deep palace, so he doesn't necessarily know much about the people outside.

Not to mention marching and fighting!This is enough to prove how dedicated Li Er is to his son's care.

Indeed, the most important thing in Li Er's imperial edict to Zhi Shili was that he must take good care of the prince, and it would be best to invite the prince back to Chang'an.

In that way, Li Er can rest assured. After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If he hurts his prince, Li Er will be so sad.

Therefore, Li Er only gave Zhi Shisili an order to ensure that Xiazhou would not be captured by Xue Yantuo, and at the same time send the prince back to Chang'an safely.

Zhi Shili was racking his brains thinking of countermeasures, how to get the prince to go back to Chang'an obediently.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty was indeed mentioned in the imperial edict! Your Majesty asked the minister to take care of His Majesty, and His Majesty also said..."

"Okay! You don't need to say that I understand the meaning of the father. You don't have to continue talking, let's stop here today!" Li Chengqian interrupted him before he could finish his words, got up and left.

The military general of the Eastern Palace also got up and left, and the entire hall was suddenly quite empty.

He was really unwilling to want him to go back empty-handed like this.

This time, he came all the way from Chang'an to Xiazhou. He did not come here for sightseeing, but to completely solve Xue Yantuo, a hidden danger in the north, when Xue Yantuo's new Khan had just succeeded to the throne and his foundation was not stable.

Before Li Chengqian had time to make a contribution, he wanted him to retreat completely, how could this be possible.

Therefore, he had to stay and participate in the war with Xue Yantuo.

Immediately after the prince, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They planned to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the first battle.

Who would have thought that they would break up unhappy in the end. The celebration banquet seemed to be out of order, so Liu Lan and the others had no choice but to get up and leave.

After returning to the residence, Li Chengqian directly summoned Wang Fangyi and others to discuss about Xue Yantuo.

Zhisili was not the only one who received the edict from Li Er, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, General Zuo Xiaowei Ashinasheer, Governor of Shengzhou Song Junming, General Zuo Wuhou Xue Guwu and others also received the edict.

After they received the imperial edict, they immediately took fish charms from the Ministry of War to deploy troops, and each conscripted soldiers and horses to sit in Shuozhou, Shengzhou, and Lingzhou to jointly resist Bazhuo's army.

They echoed each other, and once Ba Zhuo attacked one side, the other party would immediately rush to support.

Song Junming, the governor of Shengzhou, conscripted troops from five states and marched to Xiazhou to sit in Xiazhou on the grounds of assisting Zhishi to lose his mind.

In fact, he was worried that Xiazhou's lack of troops would endanger the safety of the crown prince.
