Chapter 80: Grab the Credit? Force!
Fate may have been predestined a long time ago, even though everything seemed so abnormal.
When he learned that the enemy leader captured by Wei Chi Jingde was Ashdewu Wuwu, Li Yuanji had to sigh at the strength of fate, originally Li Yuanji thought that it was Duan Zhixuan who captured Ashdewu and did not sip, and it was he who later killed Duan Zhixuan.
But he didn't expect that Ashdewu had escaped this catastrophe by mistake, and finally fell into the hands of Wei Chi Jingde.
"Report! Captain Su, they're back! A sergeant hurried into the tent and interrupted the meeting.
There were not many people, only Li Yuanji and Wei Chi Gong, as well as Cheng Zhijie and Li Tao, who rushed to hear the wind, and Wei Chi Jingde in the city had already sent someone to inform them, and Li Jing had already sneaked into the other side to gather the army and prepare to ambush the Turks.
"How's it going?" Wei Chi Jingde asked repeatedly.
"Captain Xu Hu died in battle, and the rest of the brothers resisted desperately, and it happened that Captain Su arrived and re-commanded the soldiers to repel the enemy, with more than 700 casualties in this battle, more than 1,500 enemies killed, and less than 500 enemy troops fled."
Although another one killed thousands of enemies, but Wei Chi Jingde couldn't be happy, the number of casualties on their side in this battle also reached more than 1,800 people, among the more than 1,800 people, more than 1,200 people were killed in direct battles, and the remaining were less than 600, and I don't know how many survived? And those who can return to the barracks are even more unknown.
Among the more than 1,100 people who rained, they were all wounded, and although they killed nearly 5,000 enemies in this battle, they also paid great casualties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they lost both.
"This king knows!" Li Yuanji nodded, the number of casualties was too big, even if there were five thousand kills, this number was too big.
The heart is very tired, very unsuitable for the environment on the battlefield, the tension of survival, the anxiety of winning the battle, and even more unacceptable, the soldier who was still laughing at himself one second turned into a cold corpse the next second.
"The herald ordered that these fallen soldiers be buried on the south bank of Weishui, and that they should be single-handedly graved, facing north, and write down the information of the owner of each tomb......" did not continue, and if he explained again, he would inevitably touch Li Er's young heart.
"Your Highness, the soldiers are fighting one after another, and they are exhausted, why don't I and Cao Guogong transfer some people from behind to dig the grave? So that the soldiers can rest? Cheng Zhijie secretly calculated in his heart, Li Yuanji had something to say.
"There is no need, they fought back to back with their comrades, handed over their backs to their comrades, and now they are dead, and their comrades will bury them with their own hands, which is also a kind of relief for them." Li Yuanji shook his head, and continued: "You two just need to do your own thing, don't let these soldiers die in vain." ”
……
In the East Palace, anxiety and irritability have been shrouded in Li Shimin's body.
Physical abnormality, worries about state affairs, Li Shimin even has a feeling, he feels that he is about to be unable to bear it, and he also faintly regrets launching the Xuanwumen Incident, if he can reconcile with his eldest brother, he will not have to suffer this sin, right?
Only when a person really gets everything, enjoys all this to himself, the wealth it brings, if he is a heartless guy, all this will soon be far away from him.
And those who have some sense of responsibility, while enjoying this glory, they will also feel the heavy pressure on their shoulders, only when you get to this position, will you feel regret why you got this position? Just like what Ma Yun once said, the most regrettable thing in this life is the creation of Ali, maybe many people will think that this sentence is enough to pretend. B, but only people in this class will know that what he says is true.
Li Yuanji has come back, Cheng Zhijie saw Li Yuanji's banner, but the eldest grandson Wuji was a little disappointed, what he hoped most was naturally that Li Yuanji died in the north, which was naturally the best of both worlds.
The casualties of the troops were heavy, and this was the only news that Cheng Zhijie had sent back so far.
"Your Majesty, great victory! What a victory! Fang Xuanling walked into the Lizheng Hall with excitement in his eyes and reported to Li Shimin on the dragon chair.
"Come on!"
"Let's ......"
"One thousand and eighteen casualties? Kill 5,000 enemies? Did he capture the enemy leader Ashdewu alive? Li Shimin's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe all this, if this was true, then this battle had a big enough impact on both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
Who is Ashdewu sipping? Li Shimin didn't know, but Ashide knew that he was a Turkic nobleman, and he had the same surname as the Khan.
The hierarchy of the Turks is even stricter than that of the Tang Dynasty, and in the Turks, surnames represent everything.
In the Tang Dynasty, there are many people with the surname Li, but there is only a small number of people who belong to the clan, which is the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and it is also the heritage of the Central Plains Dynasty.
"That's right, that's what the person sent by Cheng Zhijie said, this is the news that Cheng Zhijie got from the front army in person, and ......" Fang Xuanling hesitated slightly.
"And what?"
"The king of Qi ordered the soldiers participating in the war to dig the graves and bury those soldiers who died in battle, and write down the information of each fallen soldier, and it was a single tomb."
"What?" Li Shimin was shocked, and he was faintly scared in his heart.
Single single tomb, ordinary people can indeed enjoy this treatment, and even everyone can enjoy this treatment, but not on the battlefield, throughout the ages, in all wars, except for the death of high-level generals, few people can enjoy the treatment of a single single tomb.
The main reason is that there are too many people, and they don't have the time to dig so many graves, and they don't have the energy.
But there is one point, a single person and a single tomb, there must be a monument behind it, otherwise there is no need to write down everyone's information.
Erecting a monument is the key to really touching Li Shimin.
"King Qi only said this, and did not continue." Li Shimin's expression was seen squarely by Fang Xuanling, and he hurriedly added: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should order a monument to be erected for these fallen soldiers, and even the inscription should be written by His Majesty himself." ”
Fang Xuanling felt that he was Li Shimin's person, and he could click on everything, and there was no reason or obligation to explain to Li Yuanji.
Although Fang Xuanling has already seen the significance of Li Yuanji's move, this show of favor can only let Li Shimin see through it himself, and if he points it out, it will inevitably make Li Shimin suspicious.
After going through so many things, Fang Xuanling has long passed the age of impulsiveness, and it is not bad to learn from Li Jing and Li Tao at this time, Mingzhe protects himself.
Li Shimin nodded, the matter is here, no matter what Li Yuanji thinks, he must rush to erect this monument in front of him, otherwise the voice of the people will be snatched away by Li Yuanji alone.
And the same thing, Li Yuanji to do it and do it himself, the result will be completely different, obviously, with the emperor's coat, the impact of doing this is obviously greater.
"The herald will be the overseer, and immediately begin to make the inscription."
It is not uncommon to erect a monument to ordinary soldiers, most of them are many people in the same tomb, written by the middle and high-level of the army, and many people share a paper inscription.
Li Shimin didn't think that those ordinary soldiers could each have an inscription, so the inscription was also very simple, he only needed to write an inscription, which was common to everyone, just fill in the personal information such as the name.
This is a good opportunity to gain prestige, and Li Yuanji must not be robbed of it.
