"See Your Majesty."

"Present the battle report."

"Yes."

When the messenger came to the court, Li Shimin immediately couldn't hold back his mood, and just wanted to see the specific content of Fengzhou's good news earlier.

The old eunuch Wang De knew Li Shimin's thoughts very well, and took the two battle reports with a quick move.

"How is it so ...... Thick ......"

The old eunuch Wang De was a little puzzled, he saw Li Yan's thick pile of letter paper that was more than eighty pages long.

"Your Majesty, these two letters are the Fengzhou War Report, one is written by the guard general General Li Yan, and the other is the report submitted by Lu Guogong."

Wang De handed over the two battle reports to Li Shimin together.

"Let's take a look at the letter of the Zhijie."

Li Shimin opened the battle report written by Cheng Yanjin while chattering.

Compared with Li Yan, Li Shimin still thinks that the battle report written by Cheng Yanjin, a veteran, will be clearer after all.

Of course, when Li Shimin read what Cheng Yanjin wrote, he was also curious about what Li Yan wrote, and it was so thick.

"The second year of Zhenguan...... The Turks led 30,000 troops, invaded our Tang realm, and attacked Fengzhou...... Heavy snow falls, and snow blocks the road...... Li Yan, the defender of Fengzhou, was proficient in military affairs and made wooden iron triangle nails...... The Turks attacked the city several times...... Li Yan guards the city gate alone......"

"In this battle, more than 16,000 Turks were destroyed, more than 500 Fengzhou soldiers were killed, and more than 300 were seriously wounded......"

"I beg your Majesty to think about the merits of the fallen soldiers, mourn the families of the fallen soldiers, and reward them according to their military exploits, so that their families can feed their families......

When Li Shimin read the part of the battle report, he was first delighted, and then shocked, all kinds of expressions kept changing on Li Shimin's face, and finally he let out a long breath when he saw the victory in Fengzhou.

But when Li Shimin saw the last part of Cheng Yanjin's content, the expression on his face instantly froze.

Compensation for the fallen soldiers!

It is very difficult to truly achieve the bereavement in place.

You must know that now the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is empty, and wars have occurred year after year.

There are simply not too many soldiers who have died in battle, and the imperial court simply does not have so much money to support the lonely and widowed families left behind by the fallen soldiers.

But when Li Shimin saw Cheng Biting Jin's last sentence, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Cheng Yanjin asked the imperial court, he distributed the rewards that should have been distributed to the families of the dead according to the merits, which was supposed to be done.

But Li Shimin also knows that it is difficult to implement the merits of those who died in battle.

When people are dead, who will help them repay their merits?

Li Shimin felt that even if he wanted to agree, he would not be able to count the merits of those who died.

"Wang De, circulate!"

Although the second half of Cheng bites Jinxin is very unrealistic, the details of the war depicted in the first half are thrilling.

With a battle loss ratio of more than 30 to 1 and more than 16,000 Turks killed, the Tang Dynasty has never achieved such a result since the friction with the Turks.

Li Shimin's mood is still extremely excited.

In particular, the credit of Li Yan mentioned in Cheng Yanjin's letter was expected to be the first of the enemy, and the trap was laid before the battle, so that the Turks suffered losses before they reached Fengzhou.

Later, he even broke the siege equipment by personal force, and even defended the city gate alone......

The many experiences made Li Shimin feel incredible, but he couldn't doubt Cheng Yanjin's narrative.

After all, there was Hou Junji in the front and Cheng Biting Jin in the back, and the words of these two people both intentionally or unintentionally confirmed the fact that Li Yan had peerless force, and Li Shimin had long believed in it.

"Shhh...... Breaking the tower with manpower? Guarding the city gate alone and killing nearly a thousand enemies? ”

"Is this really human-friendly?"

"Such a merit, but it can be sealed......"

When Cheng Biting Jin's letter was circulated, everyone was shocked.

This thing is so incredible, if what is said in the letter is true, I am afraid that Li Yan of Fengzhou is comparable to the ancient Xiang Yu in terms of personal strength, and his intelligence is also comparable to the ancient Wolong, which is simply a peerless general given to the Tang Dynasty by God.

Since the weather in Chang'an is not as cold as in the north, many Wenchen can continue to gasp, making the sound of air flowing everywhere in the hall.

At the same time, when everyone was reading Cheng Yanjin's letter, Li Shimin also opened Li Yan's letter with anticipation.

The thick pile of letter paper made Li Shimin look forward to it, and he felt that the description in Li Yan's letter must be more detailed than Cheng Yanjin's description, and it could make people feel the thrill of the battlefield.

It's a pity that Li Shimin was wrong.

"In January of the second year of Zhenguan, heavy snow fell in the sky, Fengzhou and the Turkic war, Fengzhou won, this battle Fengzhou soldiers are brave, more than 2,000 elite battalions are on the city wall......"

Li Yan's letter hardly boasted of his own merits, he was just stating one fact after another.

Moreover, Li Yan did not mention his own merits at all, but spent a lot of pen and ink depicting the contributions of the soldiers of Toyozhou.

Li Shimin didn't know that in Li Yan's thinking, his own credit was there, it was he who led the Fengzhou soldiers to defeat the Turks, this is a fact, and there is no need to repeat it at all.

Compared with his own merits, Li Yan obviously thought that the merits of those soldiers were easier to ignore, so he used a lot of pen and ink to depict the demeanor of various soldiers such as sword and shield bearers, archers, and rolling wood and rock throwers.

"After this battle, the vitality of the Monan grassland was greatly damaged, so the minister proposed that in the spring, the Tang Dynasty could wave the Northern Expedition and sweep the Monan grassland, and all the soldiers of Fengzhou were willing to fight for the Tang Dynasty!"

After reading the first part, Li Shimin saw Li Yan's proposal for a spring battle.

At this moment, Li Shimin's brain is buzzing.

Can you fight back against the Turks at the beginning of spring?

The blood in Li Shimin's heart continued to rise, and the shame of Weishui was vivid, Li Shimin originally planned to recuperate for three to four years, and wait until the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses were strong before taking revenge.

But now Li Yan has created an opportunity for the imperial court to counterattack earlier!

The battle of Fengzhou caused the loss of more than fifty percent of the Turkic forces in the Monan grassland, coupled with the devastation of the snow disaster, it seems that the Monan grassland can be assessed with a wave of the hand.

"According to the minister's observation, the snow disaster in Mobei is worse than that in Monan, and after the spring sweeps through Monan, you can send 3,000 cavalry to quickly cross the desert and hit the ...... of the king of Mobei."

Li Shimin held back his blood and looked down again.

As a result, I couldn't help it anymore!

The blood is constantly surging, Li Shimin can't wait to draw his sword now, and then drive the expedition in person!

He wanted to fight all the way to the Turkic king's tent in Mobei, and then personally screw off the head of the Jieli Khan.

"Such a great achievement, be a marquis!"

Li Shimin couldn't hold back for a while, and spoke excitedly.

As soon as these words came out, the entire court was instantly silent.

Although some people said before that Li Yan's merits were enough to seal the marquis, it was just talk, and there was no meaning of Li Shimin.

Now, Li Shimin personally said the word Fenghou, and everyone can't be calm!

A new marquis, and a marquis who has accumulated by his exploits, is too heavy.

Li Shimin didn't realize his gaffe yet, and he continued to read Li Yan's letter.

After a few minutes, Li Shimin fell silent.

He saw a list of the fallen that was dozens of pages thick......

"Fengzhou nationality, Wang Ma, elite battalion sword and shield hand, beheaded fourteen Turkic people......"

"Toyoshu ......"
