Two days later, in Chang'an, compared with the fierce fighting and intrigue outside, Chang'an was singing and dancing, and the people were happy. You could see it when walking on the street, and every citizen had a smile on their face.
For no other reason, their army won again and wiped out the Western Turks. Now, the north is all their territory of the Tang Dynasty.
How big a land it is and how many boundaries it has. The people dare not think about it, but the soldiers can't believe it. As for the civil servants, they feel that the land is not big enough, and it would be better if it was bigger.
As the saying goes, someone will give you a pillow when you feel sleepy. Li Shimin received a letter from a flying pigeon while he was still in court. It was an urgent message, so Li Shimin naturally had to take a good look at it.
After seeing what was said in the biography, Li Shimin put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay!"
Three good words in a row made many civil servants guess what it was, but they didn't say anything or ask, waiting for His Majesty to speak.
"Luo Zhang is Luo Zhang. He has indeed lived up to my trust. Tubo has been captured and now belongs to our Tang Dynasty. More than 200,000 enemy troops were wiped out. Songtsen Gampo escaped and fled to the Western Regions. But Luo Zhang said, this Songtsen Gampo is in danger, and the road to the Western Regions is all desert land, and the desert is no joke!"
After hearing what His Majesty said, all the ministers in the hall were in an uproar. Li Jing's great victory had shocked them inexplicably. After all, he had said before that Dingxiang City was almost lost. If Zheng Rentai had not arrived in time, Dingxiang City would have been lost.
Now not only has Dingxiang City been saved, but the Eastern Turks have been recovered, and the Western Turks have been wiped out, so that there will no longer be war in the north. Even if there is, it will be close to the Western Turks, which is not far away from the Tang Dynasty. , it could not affect Datang at all, making Datang's influence wider.
Not only that, the output of the north will also make the Tang Dynasty richer, allowing the Tang Dynasty to migrate more people to the north, allowing the population of the Tang Dynasty to increase even more. After all, there is no need to worry about food problems now, with potatoes like this Things, let alone the current population, can be fed even if there are several times more.
As the population increases, land is needed, and the land in the north just fills it.
Of course, the reason why the civil servants and generals were so concerned was because the north had huge interests in it.
But now, before the interests of the north have been divided up, it is reported that Luo Zhang will destroy Tubo.
How is this not shocking?
You know, at that time, Tubo had an army of 400,000 troops approaching Yumen Pass, but Luo Zhang only brought 30,000 troops.
But these 30,000 troops were able to annihilate an army of 400,000, and even captured the Tibetan Prime Minister, Lu Dongzan.
Not long after this, before they could digest the news, another news came that Tubo had been destroyed.
They already didn't know what to say to Luo Zhang. Besides admiration, they still admire him.
They can understand that Li Jing can achieve such results. After all, he has not been called the God of War for nothing for decades, but how old is Luo Zhangcai?
Twenty, a twenty-year-old Duke is probably unprecedented and will never come after him.
Even with Luo Zhang's achievements, it is not an exaggeration to make him the Duke of the country. It is even said that Luo Zhang is qualified to make him a king with a different surname.
"With Tubo destroyed, the Tang Dynasty will have no worries from now on!" Li Shimin seemed very happy. Tubo has always been a worry for the Tang Dynasty. Now that the worry has been eliminated, what worries do he have?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, once Tubo is eliminated, our Tang Dynasty will have no more foreign troubles!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was not too happy, because there was another paragraph written at the bottom of Luo Zhang's letter to Li Shimin.
Tubo and Western Turks bordering the Tang Dynasty can cause internal troubles. Although the internal troubles have been eliminated, foreign troubles are coming. I hope your Majesty will not take it lightly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.
Although I am prepared, I don’t know what the situation is in the country of Dashi.
The Tang Dynasty seems to be powerful, but the Great Food Kingdom is not much weaker than the Tang Dynasty. There are even more powerful countries in more distant places. These are all threats to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty wants to preserve its foundation for tens of millions of years, it must not slack off.
These words were like a heavy punch, hitting Li Shimin's heart so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
This Luo Zhang is real. We can't talk about this kind of thing later. Why don't you let me be happy first?
However, he also understood Luo Zhang and knew that what Luo Zhang said was from the bottom of his heart. Such a minister made him both love and hate him!
