In May, the weather gradually warms up.

Outside the south of Chang'an City, hundreds of civil and military officials are lined up left and right.

They didn't know what they were waiting for, but there were no people coming in and out of the area at this time, and there were a large number of soldiers and horses outside the south gate. It seems that something big is about to happen.

And these people are headed by Li Shimin, as well as Li Chengqian and others.

They seem to be waiting for someone's return.

Time passed minute by minute.

The sun rose higher and higher, and everyone looked south, but there was no change in the slightest.

At this time, there is not even a mosquito, how can there be people!

Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer, and asked, "Gao Ming, is that time right?" It's noon, haven't people come yet? ”

Li Chengqian responded: "Your Majesty, what the carrier pigeon said is noon today. Maybe something delayed the trip, but maybe it's not enough. ”

In ancient times, information was not as disseminated as it is in modern times, and sometimes it was just a text message to know where you are.

The methods they use take time.

"It's okay, it's not too long anyway, I'll wait until the warriors return."

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, someone shouted: "It's here!" They're back! ”

After finishing, I saw a team of people appear in the sky, and the banner they held was the banner of Datang.

"It's back! Come and welcome their return with me! ”

When Li Shimin saw it, he immediately shouted.

"Yes!"

The ministers agreed.

Then he headed south with a group of men.

After traveling for about three miles, I saw a team of people appear, led by Su Lie, who existed like a killing god.

The soldiers behind him were very mighty, and they did not lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.

When Su Lie saw Li Shimin coming to greet him in person, he was so frightened that he jumped off the horse.

The expression is flustered.

Such a battle made him a little frightened.

As soon as he saw Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Greetings to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

From his gaze, it could be seen that he was somewhat flattered.

He couldn't have imagined that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian would come out to pick him up with hundreds of civil and military officials.

It can be seen how much Li Shimin and Li Chengqian attach importance to the things behind him.

"Good! Very good, Su Lie, has the task of escorting the horse been completed this time? ”

Li Shimin asked.

Because he did not see the appearance of the war horse.

Su Lie hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the minister did not dishonor the holy order and brought back 10,000 horses!" A lot of horses! Your Majesty, please look! ”

Following the direction pointed by Su Lie, there were really thousands of horses galloping behind him.

The quality of these horses is excellent, and they are all gifts from the Tibetans.

It is better to say that it was a gift, but it is better to say that Li Chengqian won it back.

Anyone who shoots just three arrows to get 10,000 horses will feel the shock.

But if they were to compare, no one would dare to compare.

Li Shimin has been fighting all year round and knows how to watch horses the most.

Directly ordered someone to bring some horses.

Soon, some war horses appeared in front of them.

Li Shimin stroked the mighty and majestic war horses and said: "Good horses, the quality of these horses is very high, and the combat power of my Tang army will be on a higher level in the future!" Su Lie, you're doing a good job! ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's dislike, give the minister this opportunity to perform. It's a great honor to be able to escort these horses! ”

Su Lie said.

made Li Shimin laugh.

"Well said! No arrogance, no impatience! There is the wind of a general! Gao Ming's vision is really good. ”

"I'm just the same as Lao Cheng! Lao Cheng also had this style back then. ”

Cheng Yanjin said very shamelessly.

Everyone waited for him to look at him, and then Li Chengqian shouted:

"Come on, put these 10,000 horses under the horseshoe, ready to intervene in the war at any time!"

"Yes!"

Someone introduced 10,000 horses into Chang'an City.

Without a horseshoe equipped with a war horse, the combat power cannot be sustained.

And Li Shimin said: "Come on, come on, I want to reward you well!" ”

These people guard the frontier, but they are very fortunate, and it is always right to reward them, which is also one of Li Shimin's methods to win people's hearts.

The so-called clear rewards and punishments are like this.

The armies shouted wildly.

Thank you, Lord Long.

Then, Li Shimin's eyes turned to Su Lie's side.

Judging from his expression, he is very fond of Su Lie.

He said earnestly: "Su Lie, you have led the troops to guard the frontier, and brought back 10,000 horses, I will make you the general of Huaihua, and reward you with 100 pieces of cloth and 100 taels of gold!" ”

Gold or something is secondary, you know, this General Huaihua is not a small role.

General Huaihua is equivalent to a position under the third grade, which is half a level higher than General Yunlu from the third grade.

In this way, that is a big official, half a level higher than Xue Rengui.

In just half a year, his official position is higher than Xue Rengui.

As long as you dare! The more wars there are, the more they can rise to prominence.

But this is what he deserves, fortunately he has been on the frontier for more than half a year, and he has no complaints, and he also brought back 10,000 horses.

If you don't reward him for such a meritorious service, who will you reward?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers and others also stepped forward to congratulate Su Lie.

Su Lie saluted one by one, obviously in a hurry, he had never received such important attention before.

After that, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Su Lie, you are really my right-hand man!" ”

Li Shimin likes Su Lie more and more the more he looks at it.

But Su Lie was Li Chengqian's subordinate, how could he let him snatch it?

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to say anything, Su Lie said first: "Your Majesty, this is the teaching of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Dingfang is so without the insight of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that he is still in the deep forest at this time, and he can't show his martial arts." I'm afraid that I will do nothing in my life. ”

After all, Su Lie was not collected in vain, Li Shimin heard it and said with a smile:

"Oh? Speaking of which, is it better to have a clever approach? ”

The ministers also said that this prince deserved his name.

"Your Majesty, thanks to the generals not disliking it, the sons and daughters have only done everything that a prince should do."

Li Chengqian snorted.

The more this is the case, the more you can't be proud of your achievements, otherwise it will be annoying.

Although Li Chengqian was very rampant in private, in front of Li Shimin, he tried his best to restrain himself.

"Hahaha, I have my bearing, I am smart, I am more happy the more I look at you!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly and modestly said, all this is still your credit, I just did my job.

But I want to say, without me, you can still get such benefits?

I want to think about it, but I can't say that.

The ministers said again: "With the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is blessed!" ”

At this time, the ministers are still united.

"Hahaha, I'm happy today, come here, prepare a good drink, I want to reward the three armies!"

"Yes!".

That night, the army reveled.

With the return of Su Lie and the addition of War Horse, Datang's strength will rise to another level.
