"You have been serving as a military official for many years and have made great achievements in military affairs. However, when you enter the court this time, you are too wanton."
Luo Yi bowed and buried his head deeply, "I acknowledge my guilt."
In the Linhu Palace, Li Yuan leaned on the soft couch and said slowly: "I also come from a military background. The arrogance of the sergeants is difficult to control. You will need to strictly control me in the future."
"Follow the Holy Orders."
Prince Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on the side, could still hold on, but Qi King Li Yuanji was already gloating about his misfortune... Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Shigui, Hou Junji, and Zhai Changsun were all high-ranking generals from the Tiance Mansion, and they were whipped. His face was covered with whip marks. This kind of humiliation was a huge suppression to the power of the Qin Palace.
In name, Luo Yi's brother Luo Shou has a broken leg and is lame. The two sides seem to be equal...but in terms of political influence, they are not in the same series.
Li Yuan borrowed the donkey to go down the slope this time, which was actually a bit shameless... What's more, it is still unknown whether Luo Shou will be lame.
Of course, Luo Yi felt that he must be lame... It was rumored in the court that Li Huairen put benevolence and righteousness first, but Luo Yi felt that that guy was a character who must retaliate for his anger.
Luo Yang asked to marry the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, but he was humiliated by Li Shan in both civil and military circles... That guy hadn't traveled for a long time, but he bumped into her that time. How could it be such a coincidence? !
Li Shimin, who was sitting next to the prince, looked cold as he watched his father pretend to scold Luo Yi.
In a sense, a person's behavior always has a fixed routine. Li Shimin marched bravely on the battlefield, not avoiding the sharp edges... Li Jiancheng was already a little nervous, guessing that his good second brother would use What kind of means can we use to get this thing back?
Seeing the almost frozen atmosphere between the eldest son and the second son, Li Yuan began to have a headache again. Just as he was about to leave, an announcement from the palace came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to step inside, with a slight joy in his expression, and loudly said: "Your Majesty, report on the northwest battle!"
Li Yuan stood up suddenly, "Is it Sichang's military report?!"
Chai Shao went on an expedition and changed his flag. This was the first time that Li Tang fought with a foreign nation as at least equal to the Turks. This was of extraordinary significance to Li Tang and Li Yuan.
In fact, Li Yuan regretted it a bit later. Shortly after Chai Shao's expedition, the Jianghuai army rebelled, and Jiangnan and Huainan were in flames of war. Moreover, he had to prepare for the possible upcoming Turkic invasion... It was too much pressure for Li Tang.
Li Jiancheng was the first to rush to the front, "But the good news?"
"Yes, General Chai Shao of You Xiaowei led his army to regain Hezhou first, and faced off with Tuyuhun for a long time in Taozhou and Minzhou." Yang Gongren said loudly: "Ten days ago, the army made a surprise attack. The vanguard broke the formation, defeated Tuyuhun and killed him. There were thousands of enemy troops and more than 10,000 prisoners.”
Li Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Sichang Guo is a thousand-mile horse!"
"Father has good eyesight." Li Jiancheng complimented, his eyes flickering.
A quarter of an hour later, inside the Liangyi Hall.
Pei Ji, Zuo Pushe of Shangshu Province, picked up the victory report that had just been delivered and read it one by one, "On the 12th, I saw that the morale of the enemy camp was low. General Kan Leng, the leading general on the left, held the Mo sword and stood firm in the front line, and General Xiaowei on the right Ma Sanbao flanked the enemy formation and killed Tuoba Mumi, the famous king of Tuyuhun, and the enemy army was routed..."
Pei Ji paused for a moment, and the expressions of everyone in the palace changed slightly. Only Princess Pingyang remained calm.
But the reasons are different. Most people present remembered that Ma Sanbao was a servant of Chai Shao, and later became the general manager under Princess Pingyang. This time, General You Xiaowei accompanied Chai Shao on the expedition... but Ma Sanbao was once the eunuch of the East Palace. door rate.
But Li Yuan and Li Shimin remembered that the left-leading general Kan Leng was the adopted son of King Wu Du Fuwei... The former even remembered that Chai Shao summoned Kan Leng to accompany the army, and Li Shan's hand was among them.
"That night, Su Lie, a warrior from Shandong, asked to pursue him, and I promised him three hundred horses..." Pei Ji couldn't help but look up at Li Jiancheng. He remembered this name, "On the 13th, Su Lie pursued the enemy. The battle is as fast as thunder, reaching Fangzhou."
"On the morning of the 15th, before the enemy formed their formation, Su Lie led his troops to break the camp and fought fiercely for three moments. He personally beheaded King Tianzhu, and the enemy's five thousand cavalry were routed."
Even though everyone present was extraordinary, they couldn't help but be dazzled by what they heard. Three hundred cavalry rushed in, breaking the enemy's formation, beheading the enemy chief and rout five thousand enemy cavalry... This is an achievement that can be passed down to future generations.
"King Tianzhu, King Tianzhu..." Li Yuan's hands trembled a little, "This official will die!"
"King Tianzhu died in battle, and the northwest will have no worries." Pei Shiju, the servant, said slowly: "It was this officer who urged Fu Yun to invade the border."
Chen Shuda, Pei Ji, Yang Gongren, and Li Yuan were all former ministers of the previous dynasty, and they all nodded in agreement. They all knew the pros and cons.
During the pre-Sui Dynasty, Pei Shiju traveled through the Western Regions and urged Emperor Wen to send troops to Tuyuhun, and also induced the Gaoche Kingdom to attack Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun was defeated and lost its territory. The Sui Dynasty established four counties under its jurisdiction, and summoned Fu Yun's son Murong Shun to pay tribute and stay in the Central Plains.
But the good times did not last long. After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to power, King Tianzhu urged Fu Yun to return to his homeland. He repeatedly attacked the border and even invaded Heyou... However, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had gone to Jiangdu at that time and could not control it anymore. However, he would Fu Yun's son Murong Shun also took him to Jiangdu.
In the first year of Wude, Murong Shun fled from Jiangdu back to Chang'an. The sage Li Yuan sent envoys to make peace with Fu Yun. After the coalition attacked Li Gui, who was separatist in Liangzhou, Murong Shun was sent back to Tuyuhun.
But starting from the third year of Wude, King Tianzhu had become a powerful minister in Tuyuhun, and he repeatedly raised troops to invade the northwest border of Li Tang... Unexpectedly, he died in battle.
"Sending troops to suppress Taozhou and Minzhou, and leading elite cavalry behind the Fangzhou Palace, he is very mature..." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, magic soldiers descended from the sky. There is something extraordinary about Sichang's use of troops."
Pei Ji glanced at Li Jiancheng again and said softly: "Capture Fu Yun alive."
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Li Yuan stood up with a slap on the table, "Is this really true?!"
Pei Ji nodded, "He was seriously injured by three arrows. The Duke of Qiao sent the wounded soldiers to treat him. There is no longer any fear of life. I thank you, and I am willing to go to the Hajj to see your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the palace for a moment. If we say that Tuyuhun was defeated, it was a good thing. Killing King Tianzhu was not only a personal problem, but capturing Khan Fuyun alive and being kind enough to bring him into the court... this achievement Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Because now in Tuyuhun, King Tianzhu died and Khan Fuyun entered the court. The one who gained the upper hand was the prince Murong Shun who returned to Tuyuhun from Chang'an a few years ago...and this man, who had lived in China for a long time, was quite kind to Li Tang.
In other words, the battle between Chai Shao and Li Tang will ensure that the northwest of Li and Tang Dynasties will be free from border dangers for a considerable period of time. Troops from the DPRK and China can be concentrated on the Jianghuai Army in the south of the Yangtze River and the Turks in the north. There will be no worries about insufficient troops, no head and tail. Worry about looking after each other.
Li Yuan slowly sat down and said with a smile: "Pingyang, why should I be rewarded for such great achievements?"
Princess Pingyang said calmly: "Such a great victory is not the result of Duke Qiao alone. My father should appease the soldiers and reward the generals generously."
"One day my brother-in-law will lead his army back to the army, and he should be rewarded. But there is one person who is still in the capital, and my father must reward him." Li Jiancheng stood up and said: "Three hundred cavalry defeated the enemy, and even the famous generals in ancient times could not match it. Such generals have such talents." , Father, does he know who he is?"
"Father doesn't know. Third sister can tell you in detail."
Princess Pingyang looked calm, "This man has no military position, but is the leader of Huairen's personal guards. Seeing his extraordinary bravery, Mr. Lang summoned him to join the army."
Li Jiancheng said loudly: "It's not just this. Su Lie burned the enemy camp at night in Shandong last year, killed generals Fan Yuan and Dong Kang, helped defend Guantao, and led his troops to attack Liu Heitao three times."
"Weixian was victorious, Yongji captured Liu Heitai alive, Huairen planned, and Su Lie took the lead. He was unparalleled in his sharpness and made many achievements."
Li Shimin on the side suddenly yawned for no reason... Hearing the prince's nonsense, he almost fell asleep.
