"Dingdong, it was detected that Deng Yuanjue was killed by Li Xuanba, and Deng Yuanjue's data has been erased from the database."
Under Chang'an City, inside the rebel camp.
Deng Yuanjue and Huang Chao were thrown away by Li Xuanba at the same time. Deng Yuanjue died on the spot. Although Huang Chao had Deng Yuanjue as a human shield in front, he was still thrown several feet away by Li Xuanba's terrifying divine power and fell heavily to the ground. I was so dizzy that I didn't get up for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Several of Huang Chao's soldiers hurriedly rushed forward and helped Huang Chao up. Huang Chao opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. He suppressed the discomfort in his internal organs and glanced at the battlefield with very resentful eyes before speaking:
"Now that our army is gone, you guys should escort me away quickly. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Li Yuan and his son have long lost their will to conquer Guanzhong. As long as I am still here, sooner or later, they can raise another army." Centaur."
Several confidants nodded hurriedly, supported Huang Chao, turned around and fled.
Just at this moment, there was the sound of a bowstring, and a sharp arrow came towards me like a meteor with the sound of wind.
Huang Chao was seriously injured by Li Xuanba. He was lucky to be able to save his life. How could he have the energy to be wary of Leng Jian. With a sound of "duh", the arrow shot through Huang Chao's armor and pierced out from his heart.
"Dingdong, it was detected that Li Shimin shot Huang Chao, and Huang Chao's data has been erased from the database."
Not far away, Li Shimin slowly put away his crossbow and shouted loudly: "Huang Chao is dead, the culprit has been eliminated, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
With Huang Chao, Deng Yuanjue and other rebel leaders all killed in battle, there was no longer any resistance in the entire camp. At dawn, the originally massive hundreds of thousands of Huang Chao rebels had disappeared without a trace. Li Shimin defeated an army of hundreds of thousands with only 5,000 cavalry, effectively frightening the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and regaining his reputation as the God of War of the Tang Dynasty.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, Li Yuan personally went out of the city to meet Li Shimin's victorious army, and gave him the title of General Tiance. He was placed at Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, above the princes. He was given an additional 20,000 households and a golden chariot. The vehicle contains a set of royal robes and crowns, a pair of jade biscuits, sixty kilograms of gold, the music of the nine tribes at the front and back, and forty ceremonial guards.
After Li Shimin thanked him, he ordered the generals Gao Xianzhi and Li Siyuan who arrived later to lead their troops eastward to Tongguan to meet Prince Li Jiancheng who was still outside Tongguan City.
After Peng Yue of Tongguan learned that Huang Chao had been defeated and the Tang army was advancing eastwards, in order to avoid being attacked by the Tang army and falling into a desperate situation, he immediately abandoned the important area of Tongguan and led thousands of soldiers and horses to disappear into the vast mountains and forests.
After Li Jiancheng regained Tongguan, he left his confidant general Liu Zhiyuan and his clan brother Li Dingguo to command the army. He rushed to Chang'an with light chariots and horses at night. After Li Shimin heard the news, he went to greet him outside the city in person. The two brothers held hands and laughed in the countryside. That night, Li Shimin stayed at Li Jiancheng's East Palace.
The next day, Li Jiancheng wrote to Li Yuan, requesting that Li Shimin be canonized as the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces and control all the armies of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan followed his advice and immediately approved Li Jiancheng's suggestion.

"After Li Shimin became the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, he resigned from the post of Shangshu Ling and Li Jiancheng took over the post. One of the two brothers concentrated on military training, while the other devoted himself to appeasing the people's livelihood in Guanzhong and was responsible for the raising and supply of soldiers, food and wages."
Luoyang, inside the imperial study.
Jia Xu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, slowly read out the information from the Guanzhong Jinyiwei in front of a group of important ministers and Yang Gao: "After Li Shimin wiped out Huang Chao's army, after eliminating the old and weak, he got 50,000 young and strong men. Now Li Shimin is commanding outside the Chang'an camp. Drilled day and night. In addition, Chai Rong and Guo Ziyi, who were originally dismissed from their posts, were appointed as the generals of Tongguan on the recommendation of brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng for their meritorious service in guarding Chang'an. Guo Ziyi was also named a general and sat in Pujin Pass."
"My dear friends, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it!"
After Jia Xu finished reading, Yang Gao waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
In the imperial study room, in addition to Jia Xu, there were also ministers Zuopushe Yu Yunwen, right servant Zhang Juzheng, generals Xue Rengui, Chang Yuchun, patron Wang Yang Lin, Tongping Zhangshi Fang Xuanling, Nayan Liu Bowen, and the official minister Yang Shiqi. , Wang Shouren, Minister of the Ministry of War, Fan Zhongyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Chen Ping and Zhang Shuye, Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Shanchang, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and other important civil and military ministers.
The patron king Yang Lin was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I thought that most of Li Ni's elite have been lost since the victory in Hebei. The Li rebels had a premonition that the end was coming, so the Li brothers were willing to put aside their past grudges and work together. Although it was a desperate struggle. However, Guanzhong is my hometown of Longxing in the Sui Dynasty and has a profound heritage, so the old minister suggested that we should send troops to Guanzhong immediately and not give the Li brothers a chance to breathe."
"What the patron king said is absolutely true!"
Chen Ping, the left minister of the Ministry of War, echoed: "In the past few years, our army has been fighting with Li Ni's army one after another. The discord between the Li brothers has caused Li Ni's army to be full of factions and suspicions. There have been constant infighting and even deaths among the armies of different factions. If we don’t save them, if the Li brothers continue to work together for a long time, our army will have to pay a heavier price if we conquer Guanzhong in the future.”
"Not bad!"
Many civil servants and generals such as Yu Yunwen and Xue Rengui also nodded in agreement with Yang Lin and Chen Ping's suggestions.
Yang Shiqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sighed helplessly after hearing this: "I can understand your mood, and it is reasonable to exterminate the Li brothers immediately. But my lords, our army has been fighting for years, and the treasury is currently empty, so we are really powerless. To undertake a large-scale conquest, the lower official suggested that we should wait until the autumn grains arrive in the warehouse before launching the conquest of Guanzhong."
Yang Shiqi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's mind. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say to refute. After all, the situation of the Sui Dynasty's military use in recent years was indeed there, especially the recovered Hebei and Youzhou. After the war, there is an urgent need for relief to restore people's livelihood.
Liu Bowen also said in a deep voice: "According to the current situation, Duke Dai has just ended the Liaodong War, and his troops are in urgent need of rest and reorganization. Ying Guogong has not yet ended the Bingzhou War, and the remnant of the Tang Army, Ge Shuhan, is still entrenched in Mayi and Dingxiang. Not the best time to start a war.”
Everyone talked to each other, and finally Yang Gao made a final decision: "Send an order to Fu Youde and order him to speed up the process and make sure to regain the entire territory of Bingzhou in the shortest possible time.
As for the logistics and equipment, I believe that the people of the Sui Dynasty have sacrificed too much to fight for our soldiers over the years, so no more taxes can be imposed. I think we can collect it from the newly acquired lands of Japan and Goguryeo, and we can also purchase it from Baekje, Silla and other places. "
