"More than 120,000 people of the Duolun tribe were burned; Set foot on the Nash tribe, gallop a hundred miles overnight, and then settle on the Ashina Simo tribe...... Break Ashina Simo 30,000 essence riding in Shuofang Realm...... 88,000 and 31 sheep were seized; Eight thousand five hundred and seventy-five head of cattle and sixty-one thousand three hundred and forty-five horses...... 1,200 people were rescued, but only 367 were killed or wounded...... This, this ......"

When the battle report reached Li Shimin's hands, Li Shimin gradually showed a look of astonishment, and his hands holding the battle watch couldn't help but tremble.

The sheer number of enemy wounded, the tiny gap in losses, and the richness of the results are shocking and unbelievable.

Li Shimin was completely shocked by this battle report, although he knew that Luo Tong would not keep to himself, but he never dreamed that the Turks were defenseless, so that Luo Tong was cheapened in vain.

In addition, after the Tang Dynasty dominated the world, the Turks invaded almost every year, and every day in late summer and early autumn, the border army would listen to the news of the Turkic trouble. The people living on the border have long been accustomed to it, and they have also developed the habit of guarding against the Turks. At the end of summer, they hide or sort out valuable things. As soon as they heard the news of the Turkic attack, they either hid in the city or fled to the mountains with their valuables. This hiding Turks has already escaped experience, and it is naturally impossible for the Turks to get a bumper harvest.

Since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks have been strongly suppressing the Central Plains, and have never had the experience of being robbed by the Central Plains.

Li Shimin was shocked for a while, read the battle report again, and then said: "With the loss of only 367 people, countless enemies have been destroyed and captured like a mountain, which is really very happy and happy." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be moved: "General Luo Tong can only fight those 3,000 people, facing a powerful enemy, in an extremely disadvantageous disadvantage, I really don't know how he did 'burn the Duolun tribe, set off the Nash tribe, and then set the Ashina Simo tribe, and break the Ashina Simo 30,000 elite horses on the Shuofang border'...... He also has to carry a lot of loot, how did he fight this battle? ”

Li Shimin laughed: "Sun Tzu Youyun 'wins by surprise', thinking that my baby son-in-law has his own way to win, isn't it the same to win more with less, and break Dou Jiande in the tiger prison?" Besides, he also took advantage of the 'surprise'. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't speak.

The Battle of Tiger Prison was the most classic battle Li Shimin had ever experienced.

In the past, when Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, he besieged Wang Shichong in Luoyang. Dou Jiande led 100,000 troops to rescue, successively conquered Guancheng, Xingyang, Yangzhai and other places, and entered the east of the tiger prison. Due to the need for the Tang Dynasty's large army to besiege Luoyang City, Li Shimin could not spare the forces in his hands to meet Dou Jiande.

He consulted with his subordinates about countermeasures, and the generals mostly advocated retreat. But he decided to divide his troops to besiege Luoyang. Occupy the Tiger Prison and stop the Dou army from marching westward. So, in desperation, he personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses to resist Dou Jiande's 100,000 male divisions and fought with one of them. In the end, the battle was successful, and the 100,000 army of Dou Jiande was defeated by 3,000 elites, and the victory was achieved.

Regardless of whether Luo Tong attacked or not, but victory is victory, and his series of wars are no less exciting than the battle of Tiger Prison back then.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and his eyebrows danced. Repeatedly picked up the battle report and read it, as if this battle was fought by him.

"That's it for today!" He waved his hand, took the battle report, and went straight to the Lizheng Palace.

As soon as I entered the west hall of the Taiji Palace, I saw Changle supporting the eldest grandson queen to spread out on the open ground in front of the courtyard, basking in the sun. Li Shimin shouted from afar: "Changle, look at how good a husband I have chosen for you, it's really amazing, even I was surprised." ”

Changle was shocked, and he wanted to run forward when he raised his feet, but after glancing at Empress Changsun, he felt a little embarrassed.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Two red clouds floated on Changle's face, she hadn't heard from Luo Tong for several days, she was in love, she was thinking and worrying all the time. Although she was shy at this time, her sweetheart's information overcame everything, and she couldn't be reserved, and ran towards Li Shimin: "Father, is there any news of Brother Luo Tong, how is it, what is going on?" ”

Li Shimin was really anxious when he saw Changle. I couldn't bear to tease her, and explained the results of Luo Tong's achievements one by one.

Princess Changle cried with joy, and was also happy that her sweetheart had achieved this achievement.

Empress Changsun is also a strong Kwa Luo Tong capable, capable, is a talented person who can be a man of literature and security, and a talent who can set the country with martial arts, and at the same time said: "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, it is really true." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he became even more proud, he really couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said happily: "This unprecedented record has greatly increased the morale of the Tang Dynasty, and what about the Turkic elite cavalry, it is nothing under my Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry." After today, who would dare to say that the Turkic cavalry came and went without a trace, and who would dare to say that the Turks were invincible! In the past, some people said that I let Qingxiao train was nonsense, who would dare to talk nonsense in the future? How can the apprentices and sons-in-law whom I have personally selected be easy to match? When Qingxiao comes back, I will praise him a lot, and I want people to know that as long as they are talented and capable, they are not afraid of no chance to get ahead. Hmph, I knew I could still see it. In the end, Li Shimin became inexplicably narcissistic.

Empress Changsun and Changle glanced at each other, and both of them did not speak.

********************

This battle is ancient and modern, Luo Tong, Princess Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Almaty, and Li Yesi are famous all over the world! As the head of the Modao Army and the topic of Datang, Luo Tong has become the leader of the young generation of Datang!

Luo Tong led the Modao Army to rest in Lingzhou for a day, and the next morning, the three armies moved.

The Modao Army returned to the dynasty in triumph and was warmly welcomed! Li Shimin even sent Qin Qiong, the first general of the Tang Dynasty, Zuo Wuwei, to the outskirts of the city to greet him. The Modao Army was assigned to Zuo Wuwei, and the young generals were Qin Qiong's descendants, and Li Shimin's arrangement was of far-reaching significance.

Looking at the towering Chang'an City, Luo Tong had a feeling that Hu Hansan was back again, and felt that this ancient name was even more kind.

As soon as they arrived at the city gates, the band played a welcome song, and the people who celebrated the victory had been waiting for a long time.

On the way to the palace, the people cheered and cheered, firecrackers and fireworks were fired, and every house was lit up, and the atmosphere was blazing, boiling with the gratitude and enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Arrived at the Suzaku Gate, and the soldiers who went out to fight were rewarded at the Suzaku Gate.

Luo Tong took Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Almaty, and Li Yesi into the palace, and they were personally rewarded by Li Shimin.

The Taiji Hall is divided into the main hall, the east hall and the west hall. Needless to say, the West Hall was the place where the emperor lived. The main hall is only gathered here for important state events such as the New Year's Day Dynasty, the new emperor's accession to the throne, the amnesty and the change of the yuan, and huge political decisions. And the East Hall is where the emperor really handles his daily official duties.

Li Shimin's choice to meet the heroes in the main hall of the Taiji Hall shows the importance he attaches to this victory.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Luo Tong, the leader, took the lead, and led a group of Tang Dynasty young heroes behind him to the ground.

"Hahahaha...... Young heroes of Datang, please get up, please get up! Li Shimin was very happy, and stood up from the dragon chair with an excited face to express his joy. He was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and among the teenagers lined up under His Royal Highness, the eldest Qin Huaiyu was eighteen years old, and Luo Tong, who was the leader, was only seventeen years old, but it was these young men and women who had done earth-shattering things. These heroic young men and women are all the white jade pillars of Datang's future and the hope of Datang.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You little Aiqing is worthy of being the pillars of my Tang Dynasty, this battle is wonderful and beautiful, I have heard good news, I am happy that I can't sleep at night!" ”

"Your Majesty trusts, and we will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

This is very frank, and it is more powerful than "thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, we can achieve such a magnificent victory".

Li Shimin was even more happy, these words reached his heart, if it weren't for his eclectic use of talents, how could there be this brilliant victory? A sense of pride in discerning talent arises.

Li Shimin opened the credit book presented by Luo Tong, and counted the merits of Luo Tong, Yao Chi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Almaty, and Li Yesi in front of everyone. At the end, he suddenly shouted: "Luo Tong stepped forward to listen to Feng ......"

"The minister is here!" Luo Tong took a step forward and answered in a loud voice.

Li Shimin said: "This time, my Tang Zuowu Wei Zhonglang will Luo Tong, with 3,000 weak brigades, annihilate more than 130,000 people of the Turkic Duolun tribe, and then overnight on the Knash tribe, the next day to break through the Ashina Simo department, and then break the Turkic 30,000 elite cavalry on the return trip. Love young and promising, the age to Si can make this miraculous feat, in ancient times, only the big Han Huo to go to the disease is comparable to it, plus the seal of the general Zuo Wuwei and the general of the loyal army, the special seal of Wannian County, the actual seal of 350 households, another bounty of 300, silk cloth, silk, silk 10,000 each. In! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the palace were in an uproar.

350 households are sealed, no problem; It is a matter of course to seal the county of Wannian; General Zhongwu is a military officer, although he has the title of the fourth grade, but he only receives the title of Yulu and has no real power, although the rank guard is higher than the Zhonglang general, but it is not as good as the Zhonglang general.

But General Zuo Wuwei had a big problem. Don't look at the difference between the words just General Zuo Wuwei and General Zuo Wuwei, the problem is gone.

The troops led by Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang are no more than 3,000, but today's General Zuo Wuwei is a real general. If there is a war, with the identity of General Zuo Wuwei, he can completely sit in the position of deputy commander of the whole army, and can lead a large army of more than 50,000 to fight alone. In peacetime, when there is no war, you can manage 10,000 people in your hands.

This means that Luo Tong immediately stepped into the ranks of the Sixteen Guards generals and became the youngest Sixteen Guards generals. In fact, with Luo Tong's merits, even if he enters the Sixteen Guards, it is reasonable, but the Sixteen Guards are too important, and the task is to "be in the middle of the Imperial Guard, garrison the Beijing Division", and entering the Sixteen Guards is equivalent to entering the core of Li Tang's military.

A seventeen-year-old boy Lang occupies the important position of General Zuo Wuwei, which is unique in the Tang Dynasty. With such a reward, Li Shimin clearly wanted to train Luo Tong to be a warrior of the young generation of the Tang Dynasty.

"Luo Aiqing, are you not satisfied?" Li Shimin was stunned when he saw Luo Tong, and even forgot about thanks, and reminded with a smile!

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I'm too satisfied. So I'm waiting for someone else to object! Luo Tong told the truth.

The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were all stunned, followed by a burst of laughter!

Li Shimin couldn't cry and laughed: "On talent, ability, and merit, Aiqing is qualified!" If you want to oppose it, you can, but first use 3,000 weak brigades to annihilate the enemy's 100,000 or 200,000 before you come out to speak. ”

As soon as these harsh words came out, those who were ready to oppose it suddenly lost their reason to speak.

Luo Tong's achievements are irreproducible, according to the killing, according to the capture, who can compare with Luo Tong? Not to mention the Manchu generals, even Li Shimin did not kill so many Turks.

It's not that those who are red-eyed don't want to object, but that their own merits are enough to match this identity, and they can't do it if they want to! There are few Wei generals of equal status to him who have achieved such miraculous feats.

Although he is limited in age, the Tang Dynasty military generals are promoted by military merits, and according to his military merits, it is more than enough to serve as the general of the left military guard. Even if some people have the intention to oppose it, there is no reason to say nothing.

If they came to persuade Li Shimin not to reward Luo Tong again, it would be tantamount to letting Li Shimin do stupid things with unknown rewards and punishments. There is no one in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who is not a cunning character, how can he be stupid to take such a head.

Luo Tong understood, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for the emperor's gift." ”

Next, Li Shimin also rewarded Princess Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, and Almaty, all of whom promoted Li Shimin to Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang General and continued to serve under Luo Tong.

I have to say that Li Shimin has a set of rewards and punishments, and all the soldiers who went out to fight were convinced, and as for the soldiers who went out to fight and received three times the salary, they were also very happy. Later, Li Shimin announced that a state banquet would be held that night to reward them with the triumphant return of young generals in the Liangyi Palace.

Faced with a table of delicacies, Luo Tong, who had eaten coarse food in recent months, drooled and immediately ate regardless of the image. Except for Yao Chi and Chang Le, who accompanied him, the others were no different from him, and they all ate happily, wanting to compensate for all the hardships they had suffered these days.

After eating and drinking, after the banquet was over, Luo Tong wanted to go home, but asked Li Shimin to call him to the Manna Palace!
