Chapter 238: Chang'an

The entire Dingxiang City was shrouded in fog, Jieli only heard the sound of shouting and killing on all sides, and he couldn't tell how many enemies there were, and his subordinates reported that there were Tang troops everywhere, and Dingxiang City had been captured, so it was not appropriate to touch it at this moment.

Jieli agreed without thinking about it, gathered the soldiers around him, seized the north gate and escaped from Dingxiang City. He originally wanted to go to Baidao to join the army, and then wave his army to fight back, but he actually encountered many small groups of routs along the way.

At this time, he knew that Bai Dao's army had been defeated by Li Ji, so he could only collect the remnants of the army while walking, retreat towards Iron Mountain, and wait for him to retreat to Iron Mountain. Tens of thousands of troops were gathered around him.

This battle played the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's army killed more than 10,000 people, nearly 100,000 prisoners, and Li Ji also captured nearly 50,000 prisoners, this is an unprecedented victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing sent a team of only 100 people, 800 miles to Chang'an to send good news?

Along the way, hundreds of people shouted hoarsely: "Yinshan is a great victory, 20,000 are killed, and 150,000 are captured." Yinshan won a great victory, killing 20,000 and capturing 150,000. ”

The horses went straight and never stopped, and the people were stunned for a moment, did they hear it right? Listening to the earth-shattering cheers in the distance, they almost didn't burst their eardrums.

After being stunned for two seconds, they also let out irrepressible cheers, they had waited too long for this day, and they should kill a cow to worship their ancestors and share the good news with them. The pedestrians on the road jumped and jumped with joy, not knowing that they thought they were enchanted.

When they arrived outside Chang'an City, they stopped to drink some water, rested for a while, put feathers on their heads, and the sound of galloping horses kept sounding, and the people of Chang'an were almost stupid with joy.

Someone jumped and screamed at the gate of the city with joy, and was kicked into the corner by others, but he was not angry, but smiled and watched the messenger pass through the gate.

Laughing and laughing, tears came down, he was a martial artist, and he was left alone in a happy family of more than a dozen people that year.

"Daddy, did you hear that? The Turks have been defeated, and your revenge has been avenged. Did you hear that? Woohoo......"

He screamed, but he lay on the ground and wept bitterly, and the soldiers guarding the city gate came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't cry, you crying Lao Tzu is sad." This money was used to buy some dark paper to worship the deceased, what happened to Lao Tzu today, he was stupid to give money to people. ”

The soldier wiped his red eyes as he spoke, he had never done a few good deeds in his life, and today he was probably too pitiful.

Li Shimin stood for a long time when he heard the news of the great victory, and finally turned around and walked back to the bookcase, threw the silk book with the emperor written on it into the fire, and muttered: "I can finally burn you, and I don't have to dream of the rolling head of the Wei River anymore." ”

After that, tears flowed silently.

Li Yuan probably accepted his fate, and when he heard the news of the great victory, he actually took the initiative to set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the emperor's relatives and more than a dozen important ministers.

On that day, people seemed to have let go of all etiquette, Li Yuan drank too much and plucked the musical instrument, Li Shimin twisted his body frantically to show off his dancing, and everyone sang songs and laughed to express their joy.

The whole Chang'an was immersed in a sea of joy, countless people poured into the streets and shouted to express their joy, and the Wuhou who patrolled the streets only smiled when he saw it, and didn't scold them at all, if it weren't for the clothes on their bodies, they would have wanted to scream. Restaurants and tea shops also put out soup food, no matter who it is, you can eat it if you come to say an auspicious word, and if you don't need money, you just want to be happy.

After more than three years, it is only today that the people of Chang'an feel that their waists can be straightened, and the shame imposed on them by the Turks has been washed away by 20,000 and 150,000 prisoners.

People living in Chang'an in Jingzhou and Wugong are even crying and laughing, and some people even set the house on fire because they burned paper to sacrifice their ancestors, and the whole family's residence is gone, but they look at the house that was engulfed by fire and cry and laugh, that kind of mood is difficult to understand.

Not long after, Jieli's envoy also arrived in Chang'an, and he sent Jieli's letter of surrender, Jieli expressed his willingness to return the whole country to obedience, and he would also enter Chang'an alone.

Li Shimin was very happy and sent Tang Jian and An Xiuren to comfort him, and at this time Li Jing and Li Ji finally met in Baidao, Tang Jian also arrived at Tieshan not long after, and Jieli personally received him.

Humble in words, calling himself Xiao Wang everywhere, and calling Tang Jian an angel of the kingdom, putting himself in a very humble position.

He is now delaying the army, only to lead the army to flee to the desert when the water and grass are lush in the next year, and then he can gather strength and make a comeback.

Tang Jian comforted Jieli, this time the emperor is just angry that you sent troops to help Liang Shidu, His Majesty the Weishui Covenant has not forgotten, you are still the Khan of the Turks, and you can pay tribute every year in the future.

Hearing these kinds of clouds, Jie Li's heart is full of joy, what he wants is this effect, as long as he can delay time, he will have time to make a comeback.

On Bai Dao's side, Li Jing and Li Ji sat down and chatted, Li Shimin allowed Jieli to surrender, but the two of them felt that Jieli was not credible, Li Jing put down the chess pieces in his hand and broke Li Ji's big dragon, and said seriously: "Mao Gong, you and I have the same opinion." My brother has an idea to talk about and read a little bit more about you. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, and I'm listening to you." Li Ji said that the chess pieces were dropped, and the little snake ate a few inconspicuous but extremely critical chess pieces of Li Jing on a plate.

"This time, His Majesty sent someone to appease Jieli, and ordered a certain person to appear to comfort Jieli. At this moment, the envoys are on the side, and the Tang military horses are far away, and Jieli will inevitably relax. I was thinking that if we carried twenty days' rations, the light army would rush and catch him off guard. ”

"This plan is feasible, if you lead 3,000 horsemen to hurry, you will be able to catch him off guard, it is better to lead 3,000 horsemen to raid in a hurry, and the public leader is 10,000 behind, so that you will be able to calm Jieli in one fell swoop." Li Ji threw the chess pieces and said.

"Come slowly, come slowly, this plan was proposed by a certain institute, so naturally a certain person should lead the army in a hurry."

"How so? Gong is the commander of the three armies, and he must not sneak lightly, if something happens, the army's morale will be in chaos. Li Ji immediately said that he wanted this great credit very much, of course he had to fight for it.

"Mao Gong doesn't need to say much, a certain intention has been decided, and a certain person wants to tell some people that the way to use soldiers is to care about the combination of odds and squares, not a set of training methods to claim to be the first."

Li Jing said, Li Ji was silent, some people are too domineering, they open their mouths to be the best in the world, and they don't take them in their eyes at all.

The two of them made a decision at once, the army marched in a hurry, all the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and none of the troops were sent by the state, none of them ...... Soldiers of the New Army. Li Jing immediately ordered people to prepare dry rations for 20 days, and the amount was so large that naturally it could not be concealed from some people in the army.

Zhang Gongjin came to the door angrily and bluntly asked Li Jing what he wanted to do? The dispatch of grain and grass in the army had to go through Zhang Gongjin's hands, and Li Jing immediately told him the plan.

"How can this be? Tang Jian, they are now deep in the Turkic enemy camp, aren't you doing this to kill them? Zhang Gongjin immediately objected, he and Tang Jian were good friends, how could he bear to see him die like this?

"The benevolence of the woman, don't you know that if you can calm down Jieli in one fell swoop, it will be worth dying a hundred Tang Jian. The fighter plane is fleeting, you are full of poetry and books, don't you know how Han Xin broke the Qi country back then? ”

How could he not know that he Zhang Gongjin was too clear to speak out against it. When Li Shiqi went to Qi as Liu Bang's envoy to persuade him to surrender, he had already succeeded, Han Xin was afraid that the credit would be surpassed by Li Shiqi, so he simply led the army to attack Qi State, and Li Shiqi was thrown into the oil pot by the angry Tian Guang and boiled. He really doesn't want to see Tang Jian who is fried on the outside and tender on the inside!

It's a pity that what Li Jing said is right, if the Turks are not destroyed, they will make a comeback soon. So today, even if it is Fang Xuanling and where the eldest grandson Wuji is in Jieli, this plan still has to continue, in order to do it once and for all, Li Jing will sacrifice anyone, and it is definitely not something that he Zhang Gongjin can change with a word.
