Listening to Xing's words, Qian Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is the situation?" ”

Seeing that Qian Duoduo was in such a hurry, Xing didn't dare to make her sister happy, and said with a smile: "I heard the messenger's message, so I went to Shangshu Mansion to find Ju to inquire about the news, and I heard Ju say that Brother Dongsheng has made great contributions in Turkic......"

"Huh? And he still goes to kill the enemy? He's so thin,,, sword has no eyes," Qian Duoduo's face turned white immediately. 35xs

"It's not to kill the enemy, it's that he created a novelty, this thing...... Awesome! ”

Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief: "He likes to make some weird things, what is a horseshoe?" ”

Xing also understood, so she could only tell her sister what Ju said: "Ju said that it is to nail something to the horse's hooves, and it is not easy to fall down with this horse, and said that the emperor is very happy to see this report, and he wants to give credit to Brother Dongsheng." ”

Xing was also very excited after speaking, his aunt was remembered by the emperor, and he had to remember his merits, which was too powerful.

Qian Duoduo's expression also relaxed, and his depressed mood seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind for a while, and now all he was thinking about was full of thoughts.

"Dingxiang City has been defeated, the army should be back, right?" Qian Duoduo said in a low voice, his eyes full of hope.

"No, sister, I heard Ju say that we still have to fight north, saying that we want to take revenge, and we must catch that bad Khan."

Qian Duoduo was very disappointed: "Do you still want to fight?" When will I be back? The expression on Shan Wu's face darkened again, and Ju smiled and said, "Okay, sister, at least we know the news of Brother Dongsheng, let's go back to the room and see the poems he wrote." ”

In Chang'an City, for the Turkic war, the government and the opposition, since the last time Li Jing occupied the Evil Yang Ridge, there seems to be no big movement, if the weather is cold and the ground is freezing to attack the city, it can be said that it is protracted, and the Turkic city cannot be captured in a year and a half.

This is a siege battle, I heard that in that place in Dingxiang City, there is not even a tree, it is bare, and there is no material for making a siege ladder, so it is slowly consumed.

Therefore, the people in Chang'an City did not have much expectation for the news of the Turks.

But Li Shimin is definitely not included among those who are not looking forward to it. He waited for the battle report from the front line every day after going to court. Today he sighed again and said, "Alas, it's really worrying to fight, I really regret sending troops out in this weather on impulse." ”

Chu Suiliang bowed his head on the side and said: "Your Majesty, since you have attacked, you don't have to worry too much, this expedition against the Turks is also an opportunity." ”

Li Shimin stood up and turned around twice behind his back with his hands: "This Turkic people are the henchmen of our Han people, for many years since the beginning of the previous dynasty, they have always been the most terrible opponents of the Han people, every time the Central Plains is weak, they come to attack, if they don't get rid of the Turks, it is really difficult to sleep." Flash"

He said, sighing again. Chu Suiliang said: "The emperor has sighed a lot more than before during this time, Your Majesty has been worried recently, you have to take care of your body." ”

Li Shimin turned around: "I'm not in the mood to talk about this now, go to the political hall to have a look." ”

The two of them moved and went straight to the political hall, and a eunuch had already gone in to report.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling got the news, and when they heard that the emperor had arrived, they hurried out to greet them.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "A person in the palace is always thinking nonsense, so he will come to see you and not delay your work, right?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said to Fang Xuanling: "It's an honor for Your Majesty to come. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji coughed, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the Turkic war." ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes, I think about the cold weather outside the Saiwai, for fear of any accidents." ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in this operation, my six-way army is advancing hand in hand, and there is a pharmacist under the command, and the rest of the road managers are peerless famous generals, what is there to worry about." ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although that being said, the pharmacist also took the Evil Yang Ridge, but Dingxiang is a strong city, and our army lacks siege equipment... As he spoke, he walked into the political hall, and the eldest grandson Wuji and the others immediately followed, Fang Xuanling said: "The pharmacist has always been whimsical in war, so let's not worry about it."

After Li Shimin sat down: "Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have been Koubian every year, and I can't guard against it, and the Weishui Alliance, it's really my shame." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others immediately bowed down and said, "It's me who can't wait for the emperor to be humiliated." ”

Li Shimin shook his hand and sighed: "It's none of your business, it's just built by my Tang Dynasty, and the national strength is not enough, as long as Jieli is hurt this time, it will be stable for at least ten years, and then I will go out of the jam to compete with him!" ”

A few people said this in the political affairs hall, and then a eunuch hurried over: "Lord Changsun, Lord Fang, the Turkic battle report has arrived, and the Duke of Weiguo has successfully attacked Dingxiang City at night, and now our army has been repaired in the city." ”

"What? Dingxiang City has been defeated? "Everyone in the room gathered around.

"Hurry up, what a flute." Li Shimin was impatient and couldn't wait to snatch the piece over.

After listening to the eunuch's recital, Li Shimin raised his head and laughed: "Okay, the pharmacist is really the military god of my dynasty, now my Datang will take root in the grassland, and the future advance and retreat will be in my hands." Haha."

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately praised them: "My emperor is destined to return, Dingxiang City will be taken without a fight, and this battle will definitely be a great victory." ”

Li Shimin was in a good mood, and immediately asked the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet, and today he will not get drunk with the prime ministers. At the wine table, Li Shimin swept away the gloomy mood some time ago, talked and laughed, and all the meritorious personnel reported by Li Jing were all accurate, and Kang Sumi also specially gave a false marquis to reward him for his meritorious service in the city. In particular, it was mentioned that Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao were also captured and will be escorted to Chang'an soon.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin talked about the Turkic war with great interest, and suddenly mentioned: "Why is there no Li Dongsheng in this operation?" The horseshoe, mask, gloves, and rugby he offered are all good things, especially the horseshoe, which can be said to be the key to this expedition, and must be rewarded when he comes back. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Li Dongsheng is a student of Guozijian, I am afraid that he will not accept your reward for military merits." ”

"How dare he? I want to do things with clear rewards and punishments, and it's not my style to reward merit or not, so what do others think of me? Li Shimin drank a little too much: "He can still make meritorious contributions to the battlefield as a literati, which is not bad." ”

Chu Suiliang is a little sour, and the person who is only a teenager is in the emperor's heart, and he can get it even when he is older: "Your Majesty, Li Jing is his uncle, will this merit be strange?" ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Chu Suiliang strangely: "Dengshan is too careful, the pharmacist is not such a person." Li Dongsheng, I think he is talented and intelligent, he is eclectic, he is a rare talent, and it is not surprising that he can make such a thing. ”

Chu Suiliang was about to speak, Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Don't argue, when the pharmacist and they return to Chang'an, I want to meet this Li Dongsheng, I'm also very curious, young... ”
