After a journey of thirty miles, the army arrived outside Chang'an City in two hours.
Outside Chang'an City, it was already crowded with people. They were all the people of Chang'an City who wanted to see the army for the first time!
One by one stretched their necks and looked outside.
"Look, look, the army is coming! The army marching north is back!" Someone roared, attracting everyone's attention.
"Wow, that's the general-in-waiting, the army, so majestic!"
"General, there is no such thing as General Yuchi in the army. The army is so powerful. Look at General Yuchi's body, which is as tall as an iron tower!"
"General Cheng Yaojin has a mighty military talent. Look at that armor. It's really majestic!"
"I would say the most powerful one is General Luo, Jun. If it hadn't been for General Luo, Jun, I would have been completely defeated in the expedition against the Turks this time!"
"Indeed, General Cheng Jun's armor is indeed majestic, and General Yuchi's body is indeed majestic, but the most powerful one is General Luo Jun!"
"General Luo, Jun is so handsome. I really want to have a baby with him!"
"Just you? Madam Luo is Princess Gaoyang, aren't you afraid of being torn apart?"
"Humph, what can Princess Gaoyang do? As long as General Luo and Jun like me, what should I be afraid of?"
"You better forget it. My concubine, Wu Meiniang, is of heavenly beauty. She is a famous beauty in Chang'an City. Can you compare with her?"
"Wu Meiniang... I can't think about it. As for you saying this, it's really annoying!"
They didn't know the words spoken by the people at the city gate. In order to show off his extraordinary power as much as possible, Cheng Yaojin kept changing his posture. The generals around him kept curling their lips and even moved away. He, this guy is really too coquettish, so coquettish that it is unbearable.
If Cheng Yaojin knew what the people thought of him, he would probably become very coquettish.
The person responsible for welcoming Luo Zhang and others was the Minister of Rites. In a set of etiquette and congratulations, everyone returned the gifts one by one!
The army could not enter the city. After accepting the cheers of the people, they headed towards the military camp under the leadership of a group of guards.
There are also good wine and good food waiting for the soldiers who have returned in triumph. As for the rewards, they will not be distributed until tomorrow. After all, there are a lot of soldiers, and there are even more who have achieved meritorious service. Although they have been counted and handed in before. Go up, but time is short after all. Who would have thought that the Northern Expedition Army would deal with the Turks so quickly.
As for Luo Zhang and others, they naturally did not need to go to the military camp. Instead, under the leadership of the Minister of Rites, they were welcomed by all the people in Chang'an City and headed towards the palace, where they had to receive the personal reward from His Majesty.
Of course, for someone like Luo Zhang who had already been awarded a reward during the war, his official title would probably not change. At most, he would be given fiefdom and money. After all, Luo Zhang is now a marquis, and this is already considered a high-level achievement. As a noble, the fiefdoms they own are not the same as before!
As for other people getting promoted to official positions, it’s no big deal!
In the Imperial Palace, Taiji Hall, Luo Zhang and others were standing in the main hall. Civil and military officials from the court were lined up on the left and right, and they all looked at Luo Zhang and others with incomprehensible eyes. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were admiring, and some were resentful.
The ones who were envious and admired were naturally the military commanders. They regretted not following Li Jing on the Turkic expedition this time. If they had followed, one of them would have been standing in the hall this time.
It’s just that although there were many things provided by Luo Zhang at that time, no one was 100% sure that they could defeat the Turks. It was easy to say that they would win, but if they lost, the responsibility would be huge. If the army failed, the responsibility would not be Anyone can afford it.
It should be said that Li Jing is under the greatest pressure this time. After all, he is the coach. He has to coordinate and carry all matters. It seems that he is sitting in the rear and not leading troops to attack, but not everyone can sit in this seat. of.
Jealousy and resentment are naturally on the side of the civilian officials. After all, the military attache stole the show this time, completely overshadowing the power of the civilian officials and suppressing the civilian officials. This is a result that the civilian officials do not want to see, so the civilian officials It would be strange not to be jealous of the military attache.
As for the resentment, of course he had grudges with some military attachés, such as Changsun Wuji. Seeing Luo Zhang's high-spirited appearance, he was very unhappy, especially when he thought that his son was not among these people, he became even more angry.
Although Changsun Chong has now joined the Hongqing Gang and was accepted as a disciple by the gang leader, he will have to bear the infamy for the rest of his life. He betrayed the Tang Dynasty and betrayed the information about the Tang army to the Turks. He can be said to be a traitor. In this life, Don't even think about cleaning up, let alone returning to the Tang Dynasty. The wanted order against Changsun Chong has not been lifted. Once his traces are discovered, he will be hunted endlessly.
On the dragon throne, Li Shimin looked at the high-spirited generals below. He was also excited. Even the Han Dynasty and the previous dynasties had not been able to destroy the Turks, but Li Shimin did it in his hands. Not only did he destroy the Turks , and also captured the Turkic king alive.
It can be said that he, Li Shimin, is more powerful than any emperor in history. With his achievements here, no one can compare.
The annihilation of the Turks also erased the unequal treaties he had signed on the banks of the Weishui River. In the future, people will only remember that he annihilated the Turks, and no one will care about the Weishui Alliance. Even if there is one in the history books, his wisdom will be written down. Write about his hardships without slandering him for bowing to the Turks.
If he can continue his efforts to annihilate Gaoguli and pacify the South, Tubo, and Japan in the future, then what awaits him is the title of emperor for eternity. Just thinking about Li Shimin will make him excited.
With such a powerful army, Li Shimin was confident that he could do this. Even the powerful Turks were wiped out, and foreign states like Gaoguli were not afraid.
At this time, Eunuch Huang came to the front holding an edict that had been written long ago.
Everyone held their breath and waited for Eunuch Huang to read out the imperial edict.
"By God's decree, the emperor decreed that the Northern Army was ordered to attack the Turks this time. It has made outstanding military achievements and was specially granted the title of Cheng Yaojin..."
"Luo Zhang, a bounty of a thousand taels, a fiefdom of ten thousand acres..."
His Majesty's reward this time was extremely generous. The generals and officers on the sidelines were very excited, and they wished they were the ones standing there. Unfortunately, there is no regret in the world, and there is no courage to get something for nothing. That is impossible.
After Eunuch Huang finished reading the edict, all the generals knelt down and thanked His Majesty for his kindness!
"Come on, I have seen your performance this time. I want to thank you on behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Without you, the north will not be pacified, let alone settled. The people will still live in poverty. Now that it is better, the north will not be able to live. There is no war, and the people can finally live and work in peace and contentment. This is all due to you!" Li Shimin said with emotion.
