In the early morning, the morning fog is hazy and angry, green branches and leaves bloom everywhere, and pink flowers are also a little floral with the surrounding air.

This year's weather is a bit unusual, the time has come to the middle of April, but not even a single drizzle has fallen, and the temperature during the day is almost comparable to June.

Before noon, the people can only work in the fields as early as possible, and turn over as much land as possible before the temperature rises, so that the land can retain as much water as possible.

Fanglin Gate, as in the past, the guards will stand on the city gate tower, looking inside and outside, looking inside and outside Chang'an City, more than half a year ago, there was a war here, bloody wind and rain, changed the trajectory of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The gate was opened earlier than the city gate, and at this moment there were already many people gathered at the city gate, carrying farm tools and dry food, as well as a small amount of drinking water, waiting for the city gate to be opened to go out of the city to farm.

Outside Chang'an City, a figure stumbled towards Fanglin Gate, a horse, a person, a person lying on the horse, and even tied himself to the war horse with a rope, with four red flags behind it, each with only one word on it, urgent!

Gao Yanagi, the captain of the prison gate, was stunned, how many years has this kind of scene not occurred? It's like I've never seen anything like this before.

The four flags represent four hundred miles of urgency, looking at the person's state at this time, I am afraid that I don't know how long it has lasted.

Urgent, the test is the sender's physique and physical strength, for people, it is definitely the biggest torment, the short distance is slightly better, if it is from the border to Chang'an, take five hundred miles to expedit, the physique is slightly weaker, it is estimated that it is almost a burp.

"Quick! Open the gates! Everyone, quickly clear a passage! Takayanagi hurriedly ran to the inner side of the city and hurriedly shouted at the soldiers under the city.

Four hundred miles of urgent letters, not to mention that he is a prison captain, even if you let the prince come, he will not dare to stand here and block the way, even if it is the prince, he has to stand aside obediently, and wait for the messenger to pass before leaving.

The flag behind him is the royal gold medal, those who resist die, and those who oppose die.

The four-hundred-mile rush seemed to make Gao Liu a little confused, but fortunately, before the city gate opened, he thought of what he had overlooked, and hurriedly shouted at the guards under the city: "Four hundred miles urgently, quickly report to Anfumen, violators will be killed!" ”

Blocking the messenger road does not only mean stopping in front of the messenger, the city will inform in advance, and then vacate a road, which is equivalent to temporary martial law, and the time is not long, at most half an hour.

Before the messenger came, the officers and soldiers were responsible for informing them, and those who dared to embark on the road of martial law at this time were also regarded as blocking the road of martial law.

The messenger of "driving the ......" urged the horse weakly, the whole person's mental state was extremely poor, and his eyes could only be forcibly opened by relying on willpower, but Rao was so, and there was only a gap left, if it wasn't for the rope to tie him to the horse's body, with his current state, it would be impossible to get here.

Gao Yanagi, who had already come to the city to wait, couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this, and hurriedly led the horse on duty at Fanglin Gate, jumped up, grabbed the reins from the messenger's hand, and urged the war horse under his crotch, and the two horses quickly ran towards Anfumen.

"With so much blood on his body, did he win or defeat?"

"It's hard to say!"

"It can't be defeated, right? If you win, it doesn't seem like you need to rush 400 miles, right? Look what has become of the sergeant? ”

"It seems to make sense, but I'm afraid the sergeant won't be able to do it."

Looking at the messenger who had just passed, the people couldn't help but point, everyone knew that the king of Qi led his troops to the north to fight with the Turks, but there were few people who were really optimistic, and there were too few soldiers in the hands of the king of Qi.

And it's only been a long time, and it's impossible for news to come so soon, and the four-hundred-mile rush must be a big deal.

The people had their own reasons, and for a while they even lost interest in farming.

The war in the north seems to have nothing to do with them, but in fact it is not, if it is defeated, what land will they cultivate? The Turks will definitely go south again, and then the crops will still be destroyed, and what difference does it make between planting and not planting? Let's wait for news for now.

The news of the return of a messenger from the north spread throughout Chang'an City in less than a quarter of an hour, and hundreds of thousands of people were also waiting for the news from the palace.

Until the gate of the East Palace, Takayanagi was considered to have completed the task, and the East Palace soldiers replaced Takayanagi, leading the messenger's horse straight into the East Palace, until the front of the Xiande Palace, it was mixed off the horse by two guards, and then drove him directly into the palace with one left and one right.

"Four...... Four hundred miles...... Urgent! The messenger took out the letter on his body, saw Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair with his own eyes, and said with difficulty that after the four hundred miles were urgent, the whole person passed out.

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Li Shimin on the dragon chair showed concern on his face, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come out.

Two guards carried the messenger to the side hall, where the imperial physician was already on duty.

On the dragon chair, Li Shimin, who was holding a letterbox, hesitated a little, four hundred miles in an emergency, he had never used it, was it defeated?

'Li Jing? At a loss, Li Shimin suddenly saw that the mud seal on the letterbox was not Li Yuanji, the general of Pingtu, but Li Jing's seal.

Li Shimin wanted to open it, but he didn't listen to it with one hand, and no one knew this secret except for the eldest grandson, so Li Shimin could only show anxiety and handed the letter to the eunuch beside him.

"Your Majesty, a good thing!" After opening the letterbox, the eunuch roughly glanced at the contents on it, although he didn't read it all, but he only knew that it was a good thing to read the first word.

The letter was laid out in front of him, and the contents of a winning word appeared in front of him.

perfectly solved his own embarrassment, and Li Shimin's face finally leaked a smile, but then, the more he looked back, the heavier the expression on his face, and the more shocked he was in his heart.

"Good! Good! Victory! What a victory! Forced a smile, even if he was unhappy, Li Shimin's face still showed an ecstatic smile.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Hearing that it was a good thing, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly congratulated Li Shimin.

"The casualties were less than 3,000, more than 30,000 people were beheaded in Jieli, more than 10,000 people were captured, the population of cattle, sheep and horses was millions, and the Turki Khan was persuaded to surrender, and the rebellion against the Yinan Department was completely finished, with less than 50,000 troops left in his hands, and the population was almost completely lost, and within 20 years, Jieli no longer threatened the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin continued to talk about the contents of the letter, but it was a typical report of good news but not bad news.

The news soon spread throughout the city of Chang'an, and the great victory at the northern border pass brought more than just a military victory, and the people were happy, because the decline of the Turks meant that their relatives serving in the border pass would not encounter war, and they could be reunited as a family after the end of their hard service.

……

At the same time as the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, Li Yuanji was also leading the army back to Fengzhou, and the cattle, sheep, horses and population were distributed to Yi Nan nearly 400,000, but Li Yuanji was holding the spoils of Tuli and his own two departments, so it added up to more than one million.

In late April, the army finally returned to Fengzhou, inside and outside the city, there were troops stationed everywhere, and each person could get about half a catty of mutton every day, and life was very uncomfortable.

Without the task of conquest, the army was much easier, and by the time they returned to Toyosu, the soldiers had basically recovered.

At the beginning of May, a group of people finally waited for the will of the imperial court.

It was not someone else who came to deliver the decree, but Li Shimin's confidant, Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department.

Du Ruhui brought fine wine and brought all the awards, many of which made people unable to see the edge at a glance, and the soldiers were very encouraged.

"Yongfeng, Jiuyuan, Feng'an, Fengzhou are Fengzhou, Li Jing is promoted to Yongkang County, 100 households are sealed, 2,000 pieces are given, and he is appointed as the governor of Fengzhou. Li Daozong...... Zhang Gongjin ...... "Du Ruhui announced the rewards one by one in a hurry, and almost everyone rewarded them again, but Li Yuanji's reward still did not appear.

What should come will always come, and Li Yuanji is not in a hurry at all.

Du Ruyan inadvertently glanced at Li Yuanji, and then spoke: "Give Wang Yuanji of Qi to the north of the Yellow River, the grassland area is the state of Qi, command 20,000 troops, and guard it." Ren Ma Zhou is the prime minister of Qi and assists him. ”

"Minister, take the order!" Without the imaginary roar and dissatisfaction, without the imaginary resistance, Li Yuanji smiled slightly and accepted the reward calmly.

Qi country, Lao Tzu finally has his own territory, it is not easy to come, I never thought that I would come to this point before, from beginning to end, I never thought of rebelling, but I don't want to, it doesn't mean that others don't want to, I have had enough of it everywhere.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is good, and he can keep his promise to take the grassland in the north as his fiefdom.

Although he didn't have any good ideas, it didn't matter to him, he had expected it to be so.

"Your Highness can move people here, but you need to be careful, Jieli is not dead, and in the future, I am afraid that it will pose a threat to His Highness's fiefdom." Du Ruyan humbly reminded that it was obvious that the ease of this mission was beyond his imagination.

"Thank you for reminding me, it's just that there is nothing on the grassland, and this king needs time to prepare, and he can't leave the territory of Fengzhou for the time being." has not yet established a foothold on the grassland, and Li Yuanji's attitude is naturally not so tough.

Du Ruhui smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and said: "Your Majesty has also taken this issue into account, but His Royal Highness Fengzhou City can't stay, and then he will move people here, His Majesty specially allows His Royal Highness to temporarily camp by the Yellow River, and leave Fengzhou before the New Year's Day, oh, by the way, there is one more thing......"
