The battle report was sent by Li Jing from the north in an urgent manner. The first page of the battle report made Li Shimin laugh "haha" all day.

Li Jing has led the troops to explore the extreme north, and the Xue Yantuo tribe has been fully absorbed, and the follow-up troops have been escorted to the territory of the Tang Dynasty one after another.

This means that I don't know how many acres of land in the north have been included in the territory of Datang, and the land area has expanded by nearly half compared with before!

The income of the northern grassland not only means that the towns on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty will not be harassed by nomads in the future, but also means that the Tang Dynasty has obtained a large area of grassy and fertile horse breeding land to pocket. In the future, it will continue to provide Datang with high-quality war horses.

In the era when cold weapons were the mainstay, cavalry was always the main force on the battlefield, and good war horses were absolutely welcomed by various armies.

What makes Li Shimin happiest is that he completely destroyed the regime of the grassland twice, creating a record that has never been seen before or since!

Note that it is a complete defeat of the grassland regime, not a thousand miles into the grassland, as some previous dynasties did.

You must know that although the two seem to be very close, but in fact the difference is very different, Li Shimin can be immortal and praised by the world for this alone, and can be ranked with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, which can make Li Shimin happy for a while.

Then, the content behind the war report once again aroused Li Shimin's interest.

According to Li Jing's battle report, in the north of the grassland, there was still life alive in the barren land that was originally thought to be uninhabited!

According to the description, the appearance of the people of that race is quite different from the appearance of the Hu people they are familiar with, the hair is mostly brown or golden yellow, the eyes are not black, many people are brown and blue, the complexion is snow-white, the nose bridge and cheekbones are much larger than the Tang people, and they look a little similar to the race of the Western Great Food Country, but not exactly the same.

They can survive well in extremely cold places, wearing thick animal skins, and look primitive, but they are infinitely powerful, and they can fight fierce beasts alone. When Tang Jun first clashed with them, he accidentally suffered a small loss.

Li Shimin has a very strong interest in this undiscovered people, this is a field that has not been touched by the previous dynasties, since there are people who can survive here, he Li Shimin must have a way to conquer them!

When the weather warms up, send someone to explore the situation in that area, and maybe you will find something different.

It may even be possible to conquer this race! It's exciting to think about.

On the tenth day after the war report entered the palace, several horse-drawn carriages heavily guarded by soldiers drove into Chang'an, and they were soon summoned by Li Shimin.

Many ministers of the DPRK and China were also summoned.

Because these carriages were loaded with prisoners of war who had returned from the extremely cold regions of the north, Li Shimin invited the ministers to watch and study the nation.

It sounds very inhumane, but it's a pity that this world is so cruel, the winner is king, and the fate of the loser can only be adjusted by the winner.

The ministers and Li Shimin gathered together, and several carriages were slowly pushed to the middle of the hall.

Two prisoners were held in one carriage, and three carriages and six prisoners were attacked.

When they were rudely escorted off the carriage by the soldiers, they immediately attracted the voices of the ministers in amazement.

"The human race I haven't seen is a kind of Hu people?"

"Wearing animal skins? How can it be so barbaric? Someone shook his head and said disdainfully.

"It looks very similar to the race of the Western big food country, but it is not quite the same, it is difficult to say, it is difficult to say."

"Aren't they cold in animal skins? It is said that it was discovered in the extremely cold land of the north, and sure enough, the people who live there are not afraid of the cold. ”

"Ahh It's clearly uncivilized monkeys, and you can see their thick body hair......" said someone in disgust.

Isn't it the same as the surprise of the ministers, and the six people who came down from the carriage also looked at the people in front of them with their eyes open.

Over here... It doesn't seem to be as cold as in their hometown, and the houses here... It's so spacious and beautiful that it's unimaginable! In their hometown, they have never seen such a beautiful, finely workmanship, such a big house!

And these people in front of them are dressed very differently from them, they are dressed very beautifully, much more beautiful than the animal skins on their bodies!

The six men looked at the ministers' clothes, and touched the animal skins they had draped outside, with envious expressions on their faces.

"Look! These wild men don't seem to have seen our clothes, and they feel ashamed when they touch their own skins! Someone shouted, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, the people in the hall burst into laughter, and everyone began to point at these people again, making the captured people inexplicable, and they didn't know what so many people were talking about around them.

"Ahem! Everyone, be quiet! Li Shimin finally spoke, and everyone immediately restrained their smiles and saluted Li Shimin.

"These people were found in the extremely cold land, General Li mentioned in his letter that the army he led met the people of this tribe and broke out with them, don't look at these people and savages, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, one person can resist two or three Tang troops, we also suffered a small loss at the beginning of the battle, and finally relied on the numerical advantage to defeat the other party, and captured back."

Speaking of which, the ministers no longer had the magic they had despised before, but began to seriously look at these "wild men".

One person can fight two or three Tang troops, if the opponent is large enough....... Oh my God, it's kind of scary to think about!

"Yes, I think you Aiqing also know what I mean, if the other party is large enough, it will be a dangerous enemy for my Datang, and it can even be described as a disaster. But fortunately, General Li discovered such a tribe, and their number was not large, less than a thousand. ”

"Huh~" Hearing this, many ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A tribe of less than a thousand people is indeed nothing, and Datang casually brings out a wealthy village is not worth this number, and it seems that the number of people on the other side is very small, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

"Don't be too happy, General Li sent people to communicate with these people along the way, and gradually mastered a little of their language, listen to the news we get now."

Li Shimin clapped his hands, and a soldier stepped forward and reported to everyone after saluting. "Based on a brief exchange with these indigenous peoples, a few useful pieces of information will be obtained.

First, they were definitely not more than one such tribe, some tribes were much more numerous than them, and they were connected to each other, and even suspected that they had a hierarchy and might already have a kingdom.

Second, these tribes are still in a relatively backward era, and the utensils and lifestyles they use are very primitive.

Thirdly, they often fight with fierce beasts, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!

Fourth,......."
