Chapter 369: Return to Chang'an
The generals who went out to fight, like Li Jing, were all from the state princes, and almost all of them were rewarded to their families, and then they were given some honors and property.
But they were all very satisfied, fortunately, they all knew that there would be a big war to fight in the future, otherwise they should all close their doors, worried that there would be no reward.
Then the Jingyang bell rang thirty-six times in a row, the emperor Li Yuan, the emperor Li Shimin, the temple sacrificed to the sky, and offered prisoners.
After a series of celebrations, Li Shimin decreed that Chang'an City should celebrate for three days, and Jin Wu could not help but reduce all prisoner crimes by one degree.
When Feng Daiwen and his entourage returned to Chang'an, although the greeting etiquette was lighter, Li Shimin still asked the crown prince Li Chengqian to greet him personally, and the Ministry of Rites, Officials, and Soldiers were present to reward the three armies.
The heaviest reward still belongs to Feng Daiwen, the title has become the county duke, and the official position has also become the general of Zhengdong, which is Li Shimin's restart of the Han system in recent years, the first general of the four expeditions, and the official belongs to the second grade.
However, this is also because Feng Daiwen has made too many contributions in recent years, and he is heavier than others as a one-time reward, and although Feng Ang did not go to the expedition, he sent troops and contributed strength, and he also received a lot of material awards.
At the same time, a double prince also made many people envious, and in this battle Feng Daiwu, Feng Daihuo was also crowned as a loyal general on the fourth grade because of his merits.
Seeing that the Feng family's saints are strong, many people are more determined to follow in their footsteps, originally just a simple cooperation, but also plan to invest more energy and deepen the cooperative relationship.
Of course, other people have not been left out in the cold, the same is the addition of seals, the rewards of rewards, the only thing that has changed is that I used to like to appreciate the land, and now it is a blessing.
The previous army returned to the city, with the most prisoners, various patriarchs, generals, nobles one or two thousand, this time the Liaoxi army returned to the division and captured only a few dozen, but the mighty six hundred carriages of gold, silver and jewelry, all kinds of treasures, ornaments, did let the people of Chang'an, the officials of the ministry open their eyes.
Now the ordinary officials and the common people only know that Liaoxi has won a great victory, but they do not know that they have also attacked several cities, and the most important thing is that the capital of the three hundred years since the founding of Silla was looted, of course, the wealth is amazing, and like copper coins and cloth, they have not been brought back, and they have all rewarded the army, and the generals still have this power.
And it's tens of thousands of troops, holding the people, scraping the ground and doing things, Silla also worships Buddhism, so there are a lot of bronze statues, in order to shock, Feng Daiwen brought these back.
"Brother-in-law, you are so powerful, now that there is a big war in Liaoxi, you can still make a lot of money." After the reward, Li Chengqian approached Feng Daiwen, glanced at the convoy, and said with a low voice and a smile.
"The prince has won the award, and the saint doesn't know the specifics of attacking other countries, I'm afraid he will be scolded." Feng Daiwen said with a wry smile.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately showed a look of deep understanding that you were right, and glanced at Feng Daiwen sympathetically.
There is no way, among all Li Shimin's sons, daughters, and sons-in-law, they are the two of them who are scolded the most, Feng Daiwen occasionally receives smiling faces, Li Chengqian is simply facing Li Shimin at any time, with a gloomy face, and if he is a little careless, he is scolded.
"Big brother, this time the three of me and I cut off the enemy's head with our own hands." Li Tai, who went to the battlefield for the first time, couldn't help but show off his pride in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian glanced at him and found that he was not missing arms or legs, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glared at him twice, and said angrily: "You say this to the queen mother yourself." ”
"Brother Prince, is the concubine okay?" Li Ke asked nervously.
Li Tai is also like a frosted eggplant, he has no energy, but he knows that this time a nagging is inevitable, and the eldest grandson can say that he will count him down in a different way, and he will let him listen willingly until he keeps admitting his mistakes, so as soon as he heard this, he immediately had a headache, and suddenly lost the mood to show off, and began to think about how to go back to deal with it.
As for Concubine Yang, this is a gentle temperament, because of his identity, he never fights for things, and he will cry when he is worried, Li Ke of course understands that he is a filial child, and often says that he is worried that his mother will cry and be blind.
"It's okay, it's just a few tears!" Li Chengqian looked at it gloatingly.
"That's it! It's been ready for you for a long time! There are a few boxes on the car, which are full of all kinds of jewelry treasures, all of which are gifts prepared for the queen mother. Feng Daiwen thought of his wife and children at home, he felt warm in his heart, he had already prepared a lot of gifts, he had been out for so long, he couldn't go back without gifts, and by the way, he also prepared one for their third brother.
"Hey, hey! Thank you brother-in-law! When the third brother heard this, he hurriedly thanked them, these are all things they didn't take into account, although the eldest grandson and others won't care about the gift, but this is a filial piety, and it can also coax them to be happy.
There are too many things this time, they are all big things, Feng Daiwen naturally didn't want to go home directly, and followed Li Chengqian, Zhang Liang and others into the palace, and the young ones went back to their respective homes and found their own mothers.
"Sit down!" Li Shimin's face was flushed, and after waiting for a few people to salute, he beckoned to sit down.
They were taking the convoy into the city, of course it was not fast, at this time Li Shimin's conservatory already had more than a dozen people waiting here, all wanted to hear the specific situation in western Liaoning, after all, the war report was not so detailed, Li Shimin recruited Li Jing and others to audit the gaps and discuss together.
Li Shimin rarely insists on going his own way on major matters, and always likes to listen to more opinions and then choose the method that is most beneficial to him.
Dictated by Feng Daiwen, Zhang Liang and others added, a war in western Liaoning appeared in front of everyone before and after the war.
In order to be intuitive, Li Jing also deliberately asked people to move the sand table and personally lay out the comparison of the strength of the two sides and the marching route.
"Wei Guo has always advocated elite soldiers and strong generals, why did he also use crowd tactics this time." Li Jing discharged the formation, calculated silently in his heart, and said with a smile.
"Hey, hey! Wei Gong also saw it, fought steadily, and after the heavy snow, Goguryeo naturally retreated, which was of course easy, but Goguryeo did not know that Liaoxi had already prepared, and it was very sufficient, of course, he had to be caught off guard.
It is also a good thing to be able to wipe out the strength of the coalition army to the maximum, especially these small tribes, who have suffered heavy losses, and this winter will definitely be sad, even if they don't retaliate in the future, they will not have a decent army for twenty years.
You must know that these tribes rarely get together in ordinary times, and if they want to clean them up, they have to look for them everywhere, and this time they will be delivered to the door, and they can't live up to their good intentions. Feng Daiwen smiled and explained carefully.
Although Li Shimin said that he was at ease with him, he still had to explain clearly why he did not choose a safe defense, you must know that if he failed to join Liaoxi and let the coalition army of 700,000 enter Youzhou and other places, the losses are all small things, and they will inevitably affect other battlefields.
