Chapter 353: Great War Seventeen

"Yes, Governor! The last will obey! Being patted on the shoulder by Feng Daiwen and Yan Yuese, Lai Ji said loudly with a little excitement.

"Go ahead!"

After Lai Ji left, Zhi Zhi Sili strode in with Lai Heng and the others and said, "Governor, the inventory has been completed." ”

"Tell me, what was the result?" Feng Daiwen asked with a little expectation.

"In this battle, the Baekje coalition army was about 140,000, with 50,000 casualties and more than 35,000 prisoners, and the rest fled." Obsessively replied with vigor.

After a pause, he continued: "Our army suffered 6,000 casualties, more than 18,000 minor wounds, captured 8,000 war horses, and 30,000 stone of grain and grass. ”

"Just in case, all the injured soldiers will be in Danzhou, plus Qingzhuang, to defend the city, this task will be done by Li Tian and Fang Yiai, is there a problem?" Feng Daiwen asked in deep thought.

"Governor, anyway, the enemy army has retreated, do you want to let the beloved brother guard it alone?" Li Tian saw that Feng Daiwen was in a consultative tone, so he asked cautiously.

"No, what if the other party kills a horse pistol, I don't worry about leaving a loved one, this task belongs to you, as long as you defend the city, it will be a great achievement, don't be anxious, there is a battle in the back." Feng Daiwen walked over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

Although Li Tian was a little out of tune, he also understood that it was a little inappropriate to let Fang Yiai personally guard him, but fortunately, he also left someone to accompany him, so he had to nod and agree.

"Count the war horses, equipment, set off after dinner, rush back to Yingzhou in the starry night, now it is about to enter winter, Goguryeo must want to capture one or two cities before the snow, the battle situation in Yingzhou is bound to be violent, I will go to support, it is urgent to tell the brothers, a few days of hard work, the brothers in Yingzhou are still waiting for us, after the war, reward the three armies." Feng Daiwen commanded solemnly.

"The last general obeys!" Everyone responded with their fists clasped together.

Li Jing summoned all the men and horses, took Xue Wanche, led the army to return to the cavalry 10,000, Shuofang cavalry 10,000, government soldiers, and 20,000 Japanese slave death squads, and directly took Hetao County, planning to destroy Ashina mud first, and to clean up Xue Yantuo, who was on both sides and three swords.

Chang'an City

In the past month or so, the atmosphere in Chang'an has been tense, although the imperial court has issued many announcements to appease people's hearts, and the number of troops and generals who have been sent out of the army have been published in the newspapers.

Because there is a story about the heroes of the Tang Dynasty in front of the page, almost all of the generals published in the newspaper are familiar names to the people, for many people, they really think that these are the star monarchs who have descended to earth, and the people's hearts are a lot more stable.

"Good news! Good news! Jiannan Road victory! The 50,000-strong army of Tuyuhun perished!! ”

"Good news! Good news! Jiannan Road victory! The 50,000-strong army of Tuyuhun perished!! ”

A team of red-feathered messengers rushed into Chang'an at great speed, and while they rode their horses and galloped, someone shouted loudly.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Along the way, the people heard the shouting, asked each other again, and did not know who took the lead, and began to chant excitedly.

In a short time, the whole city cheered, sweeping away the oppressive atmosphere for many days, and the whole city was in excitement.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was discussing various issues with Fang Xuanling and others about the army, and vaguely heard many people shouting outside, so he couldn't help but stand up with a little worry, and walked to the door of the palace to listen carefully.

"What do you hear outside?" Li Shimin hadn't had a good rest for many days, although he still had the same majesty, he couldn't hide his tiredness, he frowned and asked the guard at the door.

"Back to the Holy One! It should be shouting, Wan Sheng! The guard replied by bending over with his fists clenched.

"Congratulations! It should be good news! Du Ruhui reacted immediately and said to Li Shimin.

As he spoke, a guard with a red feather messenger galloped all the way.

"See the Holy Lord, Jiannan Dao good news! 50,000 Tuyuhun soldiers fled! The messenger of the red feather broke free, staggered, took out a letter from his bosom, held it above his head with both hands, and said loudly.

"Great work! Go down and get some rest! Li Shimin strode forward, quickly took the letter, and said to the guards, and only then opened the letter after speaking.

The Hongling messenger was so excited that Li Shimin's face turned red and he couldn't speak, so he hurriedly saluted again, and was supported by the guards to go down to rest.

"Haha! Good! Good! As soon as my Xuanjia army came out, I immediately took the lead. After reading the letter, Li Shimin handed it to Fang Xuanling casually, and said with a laugh.

"Congratulations to the Holy ......" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji said a word, he saw another team of guards, carrying the Red Feather Messenger rushing over, holding back what he was going to say later.

"See the Shengshang, Songzhou urgently reported, Tubo killed 150,000 in the battle, captured 60,000, the rest fled, and the siege of Songzhou was resolved." The Red Feather Messenger similarly took out the letter, held it in both hands, and said respectfully and loudly.

"Good! It's hard work, go down and have a good rest, don't get tired. Li Shimin was in a good mood, not as impulsive as he was at the beginning, took the letter, smiled and patted the red feather messenger on the shoulder and said.

The Hongling messenger was slapped by Li Shimin, and almost fainted with excitement, and was taken out by the guards at a loss.

Today is destined to be a happy day, as if it has been discussed, and the Hongling messenger of Longyou Dao also said on the same day.

After reading the letter, Li Shimin kept smiling from ear to ear, and immediately issued an order that the whole city should celebrate for one day, and after all the great victories, the whole country would celebrate together.

Chang'an City does not need Li Shimin's order, it has long been celebrated, today's three batches of battle reports, has shown that the defeat of six or seven hundred thousand enemy troops, and it is Turkic, Tuyuhun, and Tubo has more people than Tuyuhun, this is not those small countries in Nanyang, of course, it is worth celebrating.

The victory of the Tang Dynasty represents that a stable life can continue to live, and many people have children and grandchildren who have joined the army.

You must know that now Datang has always been generous in rewarding military merits, so although the people do not know where their children and grandchildren are fighting, this does not prevent everyone from celebrating, at least they can be happy and look forward to the safe return of their children and grandchildren.

Today, all stores have launched 20% off, discounts, gifts, and other activities, and even the snack street is implementing buy one get one free.

Guang'an has opened the opera house to perform for free around the clock, and everyone can go in and watch one.

The eldest grandson was even more generous, and directly sent frosting, cloth skin, and goat milk powder to all the elderly over 60 years old and women who had given birth to four or more children in the family.

Not to be outdone, Li Shimin exempted all disabled soldiers and their families from tax exemption and forced labor, and also asked the medical school to organize free medical treatment and free medical treatment for them.

Of course, all the people spontaneously praised Li Shimin and his wife, and at the same time, the badges of the first batch of Li Shimin's portraits were also rewarded to disabled sergeants.
