Outside Chang'an City, flags were fluttering. His Majesty gave an order, and the entire Chang'an City moved. Soldiers lined up on the left and right, civil and military officials in the middle, and Li Shimin in the front. A canopy blocked the sun.
The people also learned the news and came out of their homes one after another and gathered at the gate of Chang'an City to welcome the return of the army.
Not only the gate of Chang'an City, the entire Chang'an Street was crowded with people who wanted to see the returning soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the army will arrive in ten miles!" Huang Eunuch stood beside Li Shimin and whispered.
At this time, Li Shimin was also excited, thinking about how domineering Emperor Sui Yang was back then. The national power of the Sui Dynasty was not weak at that time.
It was the expedition to Gaoguli and the repair of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that resulted in excessive consumption of national power and widespread complaints among the people.
Otherwise, where would Li Shimin and the others have any chance?
Let alone the establishment of the current Tang Dynasty.
Now, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was having a headache. Gaogouli, who had returned from three expeditions, was ended in his hands. Li Shimin was unhappy because he was unhappy.
It is equivalent to saying that he has surpassed Emperor Sui Yang and achieved something that no previous dynasty could do. This has always been his dream, and today it finally came true.
As time passed, the dust in the distance gradually approached, and no one knew without saying that the army was already coming.
When the army was still three miles away from Li Shimin, they all stopped. It didn't mean that they couldn't get closer, but it was a rule. If they got closer, it meant that the army had a determined heart.
"Okay, let the army set up camp first. Let's go to see His Majesty first!" Li Jing ordered to the left and right.
The generals were busy passing on the orders, so they didn't need to worry about these things, they could just give them the orders.
A group of generals rode horses and marched forward majesticly.
Everyone's armor is polished. This was done deliberately before returning. After all, His Majesty must see the spiritual side, otherwise it will be miserable. Not only will His Majesty be displeased, but even the people will think they are miserable. The army is lackluster.
When they came to Li Shimin, everyone got off their horses and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, okay!!!"
Li Shimin said "yes" three times in a row and punched everyone in the chest.
"You are all good! You lived up to my trust and wiped out Gaogouli. You are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty!!!" Li Shimin said loudly.
"This is all your Majesty's credit. I am ashamed to admit it!" Li Jing said hurriedly.
"Hahaha, this is not my credit, but yours. Needless to say, go into the city and hold a banquet for you tonight. Congratulations on your triumphant return!" Li Shimin laughed.
Everyone was infected by His Majesty's mood, and their faces were also full of smiles.
Li Shimin took the first step, and when Li Shimin was far away, Li Jing and others led the generals into the city slowly.
It's not that they can't enter the city with Li Shimin, but that would be very chaotic. Besides, this moment belongs to them. Even Li Shimin has to give them all face. Heroes are not just words.
The people were happy, with gongs and drums beating everywhere. Many old people were in tears. They had experienced the changes in the Sui Dynasty and knew how hateful the people of Gaoguli were. Many of their relatives were They died on the battlefield of Gaogouli. Now, Gaogouli has been wiped out. It can be said that their great revenge has been avenged. How can they not be excited!
This was the second time that Luo Zhang was welcomed by the people, so he moved back a little and gave up his position to Li Jing and the others. Although he had the greatest credit this time, without Li Jing and the others, he alone would not be able to annihilate Gao Gouli. .
The ten-mile Chang'an Street was surrounded by water. If it weren't for the people from the City Guards Department to maintain order, the generals would not be able to leave at all.
"Master Li, well done!"
"Master Cheng, you are so mighty!"
"Master Yuchi, you have turned black again!"
"Master Luo is still so heroic!"
Shouts came out from the common people, and everyone who heard them was smiling, especially the sentence "Sir Yuchi, you have become black again," Yuchi Jingde almost cursed!
But this also represents the people's love for them!
