Chapter 174: This king is righteous and righteous

In the new Toyoshu Governor's Mansion, the atmosphere was a little dreary.

Several generals who went out with Li Yuanji were silent, Rao was Li Shimin's confidant, and he didn't know how to speak now.

They hardly contributed much in this battle, but one by one they were richly rewarded, and Li Yuanji, who had planned from the beginning, was driven out of the fortress, and compared with before, the deployment of troops on the border has increased a lot.

The northern Turks have been temporarily decided, the Turks have surrendered, Jieli's army has been defeated and greatly injured, and the Yinan Department is sweeping in the north, before Yinan or Jieli unify each other, the Tang Dynasty does not need to worry about the Turks going south at all.

What are so many soldiers for? The answer is self-explanatory!

It was to guard against Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who had only 20,000 troops, and the entire northern frontier had nearly 50,000 troops, and the entire northern frontier had 100,000 troops.

They didn't have the face to speak, or even to see Li Yuanji.

"The other kings have no objections, but there is one point, the king of Shuozhou needs an explanation!" Li Yuanji stared at Du Ruhui with dead eyes, and asked in a heavy tone.

Li Jing and the others were also stunned, the joy of victory made them forget some of the things that happened that day.

The sudden appearance of the Liang Division's capital completely disrupted Li Yuanji's deployment, if it weren't for the appearance of the Liang Division's capital, the Jieli Department would not have had a chance to escape, but ......

Li Yuanji: This seems to have something to say?

"Your Majesty heard that Liang Shidu led the army north, so he ordered Huazhou to assassinate Shi Chai Shao, the young eunuch Xue Wanjun in the palace and Shi Li Min, the governor of Xia, led the troops to besiege Shuozhou, and the Liang division went north with the whole army, Shuozhou was empty, and the army was taken in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the back road of Liang Shidu." Du Ruhui smiled slightly and responded calmly.

"Really? The old nest has been taken away, and Liang Shi has never thought about returning to help? Li Yuanji said.

"If Jieli is defeated, what difference does it make to return to help or not? Which is more important? Liang Shi is all clear! It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and Du Ruhui answered them one by one in a hurry, which is reasonable and well-founded, making it difficult to find faults.

"Liang Shi is clear, and you are also clear!" Li Yuanji smiled slightly, looked at Du Ruhui strangely, made him a little confused, and continued: "With such a big move, why didn't the imperial court send someone to inform this king?" Do you know that this king could have completely annihilated the Jieli Division! ”

"Governor Shi Limin sent three messengers to the north to report, but none of the three messengers could find His Highness, this is an accident!" Du Ruhui said without blushing or panting, as if there was really such a thing.

Li Jing's heart was suddenly startled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he thought of the messenger who rushed into the camp from the rear that day, and remembered that his family general said that it was the former guard of King Qi.

However, Li Jing didn't pay much attention to it at that time, King Qi's original guards had been disbanded for several months, and no one knew where those people went.

And now thinking back to the situation that day, he suddenly understood why Li Yuanji ordered to speed up the march, if not, when Liang Shidu's 50,000 troops and Jieli converged, the Yinan Division, which had been waiting for the battle to be decided, would most likely fall directly to Jieli.

And at that time, will Tuli continue to surrender? No matter how huge the force is compared, will the Turks suddenly fight back, and then become 200,000 Turks besieging less than 70,000 Tang troops?

The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid, and Li Jing's heart also faintly gave birth to a strong sense of dissatisfaction, Li Shimin in order to make a stumbling block for Li Yuanji, he even disregarded the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, if it was not for Li Yuanji to receive information in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You almost wiped out all of us!" Li Jing is not a person who likes to climb high, he has his own personality, he has his own way of doing things, Xuanwumen is the royal family's own business, and he disdains to participate, but now this has nothing to do with the royal family, it is a war between countries, and it is the peace of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades, such a crucial war, there is such an intrigue, Li Jing is very angry, he can't hide his anger, and he doesn't hesitate to point at Du Ruhui and roar wildly.

"You talk, this king goes out and thinks about where to stay!" When the goal was achieved, Li Yuanji patted his ass with a smile.

You're, aren't you? A stab in the back, huh? This king will, in front of you, divide your three generals.

Li Jing's reaction is very satisfied, and he didn't expect to succeed once or twice, but if he comes a few more times, maybe there will be surprises~~~

"What's going on?" After Li Yuanji left, Du Ruhui also put down his hypocritical expression and asked with a rigorous face.

Li Jing's personality is very clear to him, it seems that this time he really almost caused a big disaster, otherwise with Li Jing's temper, he would never be so angry in public.

"Let's ......" Li Jing's anger made Li Daozong and Zhang Gongjin guess the reason, and told them everything that happened that day.

Cold sweat wet his entire back, Du Ruhui could already understand Li Jing's anger, if it were himself, he was afraid that he would be even more crazy than Li Jing.

"Hey, this king has already run to Lingzhou, but I didn't expect to be swept in!" Li Daozong shook his head helplessly, a little disappointed and depressed, and continued: "The matter of the Northern Expedition has come to an end, and the king of Ming Japan will lead his troops back to Lingzhou. ”

Li Daozong's disappointment made Du Ruhui realize that the situation seemed to have exceeded their expectations, this battle did not seem to be as simple as the good news said, Li Jing did not know some of the circumstances, so according to the results of the report, it was a big victory, and now, Li Jing's reaction, Li Daozong's attitude, all made Du Ruhui clearly realize that if they did not learn the news in advance, this battle was likely to be a big defeat, or the whole army was wiped out.

……

Leaving the dilapidated little house of the Governor's Palace, the streets were full of soldiers coming and going, patrolling, resting, chatting and farticiating.

Having won the battle, their joy could be seen on everyone's faces.

Inside and outside the city, except for the captives, there was hardly a trace of loss to be seen.

These days, the mutton is a little greasy to eat, constipation makes people miss the tea in their hometown very much, and the soldiers who have never enjoyed it so much in their lives don't want to open their mouths when they see meat at this moment, but they have no other food except meat.

"It's too bullying, not as neat as you?" Ma Wu's angry roar was enough to spread through several streets, and the bustling crowd and the mess of dividing the spoils of war still couldn't hide Ma Wu's angry roar.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanji, who happened to be nearby, immediately rushed over when he heard Ma Wu's roar.

"Your Highness, they are too much of a bully." Ma Wu's face was a grievance that could not be concealed, there was a moment when he even wanted to draw a knife to face each other, it was a big deal to fight to the death, the tears of grievance, hid his face and went down, and his voice was choked: "This battle is basically fought by our front army and the middle army, and the left and right rear armies basically don't fight much, why do they have to take most of the spoils?" How do we explain to the brothers? Desperately working, suffering and suffering thousands of miles into the desert, only to exchange one person for a few sheep? ”

Li Yuanji's face tightened, and he snatched the merit booklet from the official's hand.

Qi has 1,000 horses, 1,000 cattle, 98,000 sheep, and 5,000 Turkic soldiers. In Daizhou, there were 5,000 horses, 3,000 cattle, 200,000 sheep, and 4,000 Turkic prisoners. In Lingzhou, there were 5,000 horses, 2,050 cattle, 200,000 sheep, and 3,000 Turkic prisoners. Fengzhou, 10,000 horses, 5,000 cattle, 300,000 sheep, and 5,000 Turkic prisoners. The rest of the loot was escorted back to Chang'an, and the whole world celebrated.

The news of Qi had already spread throughout Fengzhou and beyond, and those former and middle armies who were Li Yuanji's old troops were faintly happy in their hearts, at least they didn't have to go back and be suppressed.

But this trophy, even Li Yuanji wanted to beat people directly when he saw it.

A thousand horses are horses, not a few specially marked war horses, and it is conceivable that these thousand horses are either old or small, and they cannot be used as war horses at all. A total of 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses were given, and the Turkic captives did not expect anything, but this time they also brought back more than 300,000 members of the Jieli Division, all of whom were family members composed of the old, young, sick and disabled, and there were not even 1,000 suitable soldiers among the more than 300,000 people.

"Your Highness! This is the edict brought by Du Shangshu from Chang'an, and the lower official is only responsible for announcing it, and he also asks His Royal Highness not to embarrass the lower official. The official said timidly, King Qi's anger could not be resisted.

"Not bad! Fair enough! Very fair! That's how the loot should be divided! Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction, but at this moment, only the ghost believed that his satisfaction was real.

"They are trying to drag us to death, 100,000 sheep, more than 300,000 people, not even a month's rations are enough......" Li Yuanji nodded, but he couldn't make Ma Wu feel satisfied.

The rewards that should have belonged to the government soldiers are gone, and now they are responsible for the lives of more than 300,000 Turks, the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, even if millions of sheep are given to them, they will definitely not survive the next winter.

"Isn't it enough? Enough, 100,000 sheep, enough for more than 300,000 of us to eat for ten years! Li Yuanji said self-deprecatingly.

Li Er, this king has done his best to be benevolent to you, and next, this king will not let you an inch more.

Turning his head to Fang Chen, he said, "You go and lead people to select the trophies, a thousand horses, all of them in the prime of life, fifty stallions, and nine hundred and fifty mares." It's the same with cows, and it's best to find another 20,000 ewes and give birth to lambs. ”

"Your Highness! This ...... "The official wants to cry without tears, according to the will, what is given to Li Yuanji is the old, weak, sick and disabled, if he is really allowed to pick up so many good ones, or in two years, the number can be multiplied several times, and there is no way to explain it."

"Don't worry, this king is a rule-abiding person, you send someone to order cattle, sheep and horses, and this king doesn't want much." Li Yuanji smiled, it's enough to not ask you more, and you still want to do something? I was too lazy to take care of this goods, so I turned my head directly to Ma Wu and said: "You go and tell the brothers, the reward, this king will send it later, let them go to the Turks with nothing to do, and take it home as a concubine if they see any mother-in-law, and each person who has a family is allowed to take one away, and if he is not a family, he can take two away, which is an additional benefit......"
