On April 15, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting of the Hope of the Sun

Li Shimin was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a crown of nine dragons, sitting in the Taiji Palace, and even Li Yuan, who had not shown up for a long time, appeared in the court, sat next to Li Shimin, and was listening to Li Jing's report on the results of the great war that lasted one and a half months to mobilize nearly 300,000 people and 1 million people in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin has sent Li Ji to be the head of the march of Hebei Road, Youzhou Assassin History, stationed in Youzhou Town to guard Hebei Road, Wei Chi Gong to be appointed as the head of the Daizhou Assassin History to lead troops to garrison Daizhou to defend Henan Road, Li Xiaogong to be the head of the Longyou Road March, Lanzhou Assassin Shi to lead troops to garrison Lanzhou Town to guard Longyou Road, Li Daozong to be the head of the Jiannan Road march to guard Jiannan Road, and Changsun Wuji and others have returned to Chang'an.

"The war lasted nearly two months, a total of 300,000 troops were dispatched, 30,000 were killed, more than 30,000 were seriously wounded, the Turks and Liang Shidu, Luo Yi dispatched a total of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 100,000 Turkic logistics women and children, more than 100,000 killed and incurable people, captured and surrendered 260,000, and more than 100,000 others fled back to the grassland, capturing more than 300,000 horses, 150,000 cattle, and more than 800,000 sheep." Li Jingzheng stood in the hall loudly with the battle report and said, it can be said that this is a big victory, a happy victory, Datang not only did not lose, but also made a lot of money.

After all, for so many years, they have heard how many people have died in the Turkic Kouguan, where they have been looted and need relief of grain and grass, and for a long time, the Turks have sent people to extort money, and when Li Yuan raised his army, he listened to the advice of his subordinates to give gifts to the Turks, and he was blackmailed by the Turks in the first few years before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This unprecedented victory made everyone understand that the original Turks were not invincible, it can be said that this big victory played the confidence of everyone up and down Li Tang, even Li Yuan, who was not in good spirits, was also excited and inexplicable, after all, Li Yuan also gave the Turks many times, and he must have resisted from the heart, this time it was also a bad breath for him, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin with relief, and felt that it was right for his second son to be the emperor, and he regretted that he didn't understand it earlier, if he understood and made a decision earlier, the eldest son, The third son will not die, and it just so happened that Li Shimin also looked at Li Yuan, understood his old father's mood, and couldn't help but hold Li Yuan's hands comfortingly.

"The retreat was timely, and there were soldiers guarding the Turkic captives to help with spring ploughing. Spring ploughing in Youzhou and other places was not affected, but the war between China and China was late, and spring ploughing did not catch up. However, later there were a large number of Turkic captives to help replant, as long as the saint reduced some taxes, it could also ensure that it was safe, and this time the Turkic captives were used to help spring ploughing and farming, which was well received by the people, and there are three letters of thanks from the people. The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the class and said.

"However, it is decreed that the tax will be reduced by 50% in the areas affected by the war." Li Shimin made a decree and happily handed over the book of the people, took it and looked at it, and ordered the people to frame it and put it into the Zhongshu Province to hang it, which means that the people are important, and the promulgation of the decree needs to give more consideration to the people's livelihood.

It's not that Datang is all sycophants, and as an employee, the boss takes everyone to do a big thing, and you don't have to compliment it, which means that you are almost arty, and say more good things in front of the boss The boss has a deep impression of you, and he will look for you when there is something, after all, there are so many officials in Datang who have the ability to do a lot of things, it is not necessary for you, and Chang'an City is not still open without anyone.

"Although 200,000 troops from the Guannei Prefecture were mobilized this time, there were people in every family to help replant spring ploughing, which did not affect morale, but everyone was very happy," Li Jing continued, everyone understood after thinking about it, after all, the Tang Dynasty is the first to pay attention to military merits, and there are not many good things like people helping the family to work.

The people all know the benefits, and the others are also thinking about how much land they have, how good it would be if some Turkic people helped to work for free, not only did they not have to pay for their work, but they didn't have to give him food so well,,, thinking of this, all kinds of thoughts in the court couldn't help but move.

Li Shimin asked: "How should the 200,000 Turkic people be arranged?" How to settle it, you have to come up with a charter. Fei Xiang, what do you think" Li Yuan asked his old friend Fei Lin as soon as Li Shimin still wanted to give him face,

Fei Lin saluted Li Yuan and Li Shimin: "The minister thinks that the Turks do not know etiquette, are barbaric, and cannot refuse to refuse to raise the whole clan to vote, so it is better to choose a place to set up a detention state for resettlement, and other Turks can also be so dispersed and arranged." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, the minister seconded the proposal" Several old ministers of Li Yuan stood up and seconded the proposal.

"The minister disagreed, not to mention where the state was located, and Fei Xiang also said that the Turks were barbaric, if they were attached to the Central Plains, if the Turks attacked again and should join forces with the outside, what should happen!" Xiao Yu went out to play, so several officials in Jiangnan also spoke out in support.

"But there are still people who have different opinions," Li Shimin asked, nodding and glancing.

"The minister thinks that the first part of the stubborn Sili can be placed in the state according to what Fei Xiang said, and the other Turks might as well all go to repair the plank road in Shuzhong," Wei Zheng, who had just been promoted to the imperial historian by Li Shimin, said.

Wei Zheng's words made a group of ministers secretly frightened, you must know that the plank road is on the cliff, to tie the rope around the waist and hang down to dig, generally organize death row prisoners to repair, Wei Zheng's words are equivalent to letting all the Turks die, and for a while, the Confucian ministers headed by Kong Yida began to criticize Wei Zheng. said that there was a wound to the heavens, and no one dared to surrender in the future, and it was inevitable to fight to the death, Li Shimin saw that both sides were reasonable, so he had to temporarily seal a right Weiwei general for the time being. The arrangement of other people made everyone fold, and he thought about it carefully,

In Chang'an City, the flow of people in and out is endless, and the impact of the war is not seen at all, and the orchid also wears tulle to stand outside the wine shop to solicit customers, revealing most of the snowballs to attract the frequent attention of passers-by, and the roadside vendors are also shouting hard, the woodcutters carrying the fire, the fishermen carrying the fish, the passers-by in a hurry, the merchants with the goods, and a group of children playing leisurely on the roadside, forming a beautiful picture of Chang'an in the prosperous era.

The soldiers guarding the city gate are standing on both sides of the city gate under the leadership of the team to protect the law and order, and suddenly there is a sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and the sound is not small, and I heard that there are still people shouting, the team is hurriedly calling his subordinates to be on guard, after all, the battle has just begun, and it is necessary to guard against scattered Turks to kill,

In the distance, there was a continuous shout "Shuo Fang great victory, Liang Shi is the head, Shuo Fang is the first victory, Liang Shi is the head, Shuo Fang is the first to win, the Liang division is the head", the team is hurriedly shouting, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's the victory" while shouting, while hurriedly helping to disperse the crowd,

Thirty knights and sixty war horses, one person and two horses, took turns shouting to report the victory, the crowd heard that it was good news and did not need to be driven, they all got out of the way, listening to the shouts of the knights who ran over, they couldn't help but excitedly follow the way forward, and they didn't know that it was the one who took the lead in shouting "Tang Wansheng," and everyone shouted for a while, and not long after all, the entire Chang'an City was boiling, all shouting, after all, the people of Guanzhong had just tasted the sweetness, and the Wude plough of the spring hair had just defeated the Turks and compensated the people of Guanzhong for reducing taxes, Arrange for the Turks to help replant, the people are very simple, and if they are good, they will really support them, and the knights who have reported the victory have not yet run to the Vermilion Birds, and the entire Chang'an City has been boiling and shouting,

The Taiji Palace was discussing things, and suddenly vaguely heard a loud shout from outside and it was getting louder and louder, and gradually everyone stopped talking, Li Shimin also heard it, and couldn't help but stand up in surprise and shouted: "Come on, quickly check what happened outside." ”

After an answer, I only heard the sound of armor and running outside, and everyone in the hall was not talking, silently waiting for the return, after all, they had all experienced war, and they were very sensitive to this sudden loud noise, and after a while, Li Shimin hesitated to say to himself: "I seem to hear shouting outside, Tang Wansheng?" ”

As the sound gets louder and closer. "That's right, it's shouting Tang Wansheng," everyone in the hall heard it clearly,

At this time, a guard ran in and bent down with his fists and saluted: "Back to the saint, just now the guards of the Vermilion Bird Gate came with the news, Shuo Fang has won a great victory, and the people of Chang'an are gathered outside the Suzaku Gate to cheer, this is good news" After speaking, he raised the letter in his hand with both hands in front of him.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and walked forward quickly to take it, and after checking the fire paint, he opened a quick list, and couldn't help laughing,

"Why is Erlang so happy, and how is the battle situation in Shuofang," Li Yuan couldn't help but ask eagerly when he saw that Li Shimin was happy to know that it was a good thing.

"Happy event, great joy for my father, Feng Daiwen led 2000 troops to chase and kill Jieli, Jieli let Liang Shidu's general Li Zhengbao and 500 Turks break off, Li Zhengbao surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, and then contacted Xin Lu'er to dedicate the city, but Liang Luoren also contacted Li Zhengbao, Xin Lu'er, Liang Luoren killed Liang Shidu at the head of the city, and now Feng Daiwen has controlled Shuo Fang, so that I can send someone to take over the town guard," Li Shimin said happily to Li Yuan.

Now the whole court can't sit still and talk about it, where they know that Feng Daiwen took Shuofang with two thousand people so easily, they are all envious and jealous, although this can be said to be a bargain, but the credit is not small, after all, Shuofang is a big gateway, as long as Shuofang is in hand, it is not easy for the grassland to attack the Central Plains now, let alone take Chang'an directly like this time.

Li Shimin said with a happy face: "Feng Tanguo Gong Zhang Gong is the history of Shuofang's assassination, and Zhang Gongjin is the governor of Anxi, leading 20,000 troops, and 30,000 troops can be recruited in Shuofang, and he will set off on the same day, Feng Daiwen is the deputy governor, and he will take people back to Chang'an to be sealed after Zhang Gongjin arrives."

After giving the order, Li Shimin turned around and said to Li Yuan: "Father, it is better to move to the Vermilion Bird Gate and enjoy with the people, Li Yuan readily agreed,,,,"
