The name of the year of Zhenguan was set, so on the first day of the first year of Zhenguan, it was announced to the world and amnesty was granted to the world. On this day, all prisoners who are guilty of murder and arson can be pardoned as long as they are not repeat offenders.

Li Er is not yet arrogant enough to think that his virtue can make those felons who kill and set fires get forgiveness, and perhaps after a few years of governance, there is still some possibility.

The first year of Zhenguan came, and in the first month of this year, Li Er divided the entire Tang Dynasty into ten provinces. It completely laid the foundation of Datang's military administration. and gradually stabilized the hearts of the people in the world, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty recognized him as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In this cold winter, Chang'an City is certainly peaceful, but it is not peaceful in the two places of Datang Guannei Road and Longyou Road. Because the remnants of the Turks who were previously scattered in this area are being cleared.

This kind of work to clear the remnants of the evil is not easy to do, because the other party is reduced to pieces, and a little bit is not on this land, and because the Turks are all cavalry, and the air is like the wind, so they can only clear the field with a strong wall, and use the army like a comb to comb through the area north of Gyeonggi in the Guannai Province.

This requires a lot of troops, after all, if a fish slips through the net, it will be an unscheduled disaster for the local people, and even as long as the Turkic hundred-man team can wreak havoc in the area of a large state.

Therefore, if you want to wipe out these Turkic remnants, you must put in a lot of effort, and you also need to be patient enough. But this time, it was two fierce generals who led the army: Cheng Zhijie of the left military guard, and Chi Gong, the right military guard captain.

Neither of these is the kind of generals who are accustomed to slow work and meticulous work, and their skill in using troops lies in their aggression like fire. Give them an army of 100,000 and they will be able to fight to the edge of the sky. But the ground that has been laid down is only ruins.

Because these two are generals who are accustomed to opening and closing, at this time, the extermination of the remnants of the Turks made them have to be extremely careful, but they are still out of the basket.

In Gyeongju, Cheng Zhijie, as the main general, was furious at this time, because in the area after he combed, there was actually a remnant of Turks with more than 1,000 people, showing off his might behind them. Even this time it cut off their grain routes.

"Waste, have you guys all put your strength into your pussies? How is it that there are thousands of Turkic remnants in the area you have searched? Cheng Yanjin sat in the military tent angrily.

Two months ago, the Turks were defeated outside the city of Jingyang, and only the main part of the Turkic army was annihilated at that time. However, the small Turkic cavalry that had previously scattered in a large area now known as Guannei Road and Longyou Road was not completely suppressed.

And this time, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong were ordered to come to exterminate these remnants, and they set off from outside Jingyang City all the way to the north, Cheng Yanjin headed northwest, and Wei Chigong went northeast.

The army that Cheng Yanjin was responsible for led 50,000 people along the way to eat horses and chew and consume countless money and grain. The result was unsatisfactory, and I don't know where this small group of Turkic cavalry was hiding before, and now they will jump out after Cheng Biting Jin and their sweep.

"General, the last general is derelict in his duties, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law." At this time, a young general in front of Cheng Yanjin, who was about thirty years old, bowed his head and confessed his guilt at this time.

"Cheng Jiu, you have also been with my old Cheng for more than ten years, counting from Wagang to the current Datang, what kind of person are you, I don't know Lao Cheng? Tell me, who is it? Which rabbit is in charge of this area? How can this be true, that towering mountain, can't hide people? No one has ever gone in and searched for it? Cheng Yanjin looked at the map and asked.

Before, he thought that the Turks had a great ability to fly away, but when he looked at the map, he found that there was a large forest in that area. If this Turk hadn't hid in that place to escape the encirclement, he would have screwed off his head.

"General, that area is indeed the last general's responsibility, and everything is a dereliction of duty by the last general." Cheng Jiu, as a personal guard who has always followed Cheng Yanjin, has made a lot of meritorious contributions over the years, and is now a captain of Zhengqipin Shangzhiguo.

This is also the reason why Cheng Yanjin will let him lead a team of men and horses to search for one side, but now there are such a big basket or two, in the military report just obtained, a thousand-strong Turkic army attacked two villages, just regained confidence in the imperial court, and then the people returning to their hometowns were once again ravaged by the Turkic iron hooves.

This can no longer be said to be a dereliction of duty, it is completely an insult to the Datang soldiers, not only Cheng Jiu is an unforgivable crime, but even Cheng Yanjin will be implicated. So Cheng Jiu directly carried everything alone.

"Cheng Jiu, do you think that my old Cheng is such a person who abandons his personal guards to protect himself? If even a personal guard like you is discarded, then how will I gain a foothold among the princes of the court and the court in the future? Guilty of meritorious service, he went to that area and gave this group of Turks to me Lao Cheng's corpse. Cheng Yanjin said.

"General Xie! The last general is willing to make a military order, if there is still one survivor of this group of Turks, the last general will come to see him! Cheng Jiu took the order and left.

And after Cheng Jiu left, Cheng Yanjin began to write a report in the big tent, this time this mistake must be borne by someone, and he is the commander of the army along the way, and he is duty-bound.

Cheng Yanjin's side went wrong, but Wei Chigong didn't have such a bad thing, with the support of the family's money and food, Wei Chigong directly swept the army all the way, and he didn't care about the mountains and dense forests, and directly ran all the way over.

So from Tianshui, all the way to the east, gradually to the Yinzhou area, which has gradually opened into the Tang border pass, most of the Turkic cavalry in these places have been evacuated and returned to the grassland.

Along the way, Wei Chigong captured about 10,000 Turkic cavalry, which is only a small part of them. Most of them had already grabbed enough things, and then hurriedly ran away after hearing the news of the great defeat of the Khan in front of them at the hands of the Tang people.

Most of those who remained were those who were ill-informed, or greedy enough, and these people were all on the list of Wei Chigong's extermination, and Li Er warned them before they started to fight, not to take prisoners in this battle. All the Turks they encountered were killed.

For this point, not only Li Er's opinion, but even the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty unanimously agreed. Because these are all young and strong, they are invaders, and for this kind of person, even those Confucian scholars will not say anything about the way of the sage.

In this era, Confucianism had not yet been castrated, and scholars were still one of the most bloody people. Those Wenchen had seen the cruelty of the battlefield in Jingyang City, and they would not be preaching to these Turkic cavalry.
