The difference from history is that this Tang Dynasty's expedition to Tuyuhun achieved one of the most desired results, that is, to capture Murong Fuyun, an old traitor, instead of making him commit suicide in the desert because of desperation like in history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This has more benefits, let him run away and die in his own hands, and be captured back as a mascot, this deterrent is definitely not a level. Just like Jieli Khan when he was a dancing girl in Chang'an, there was a special life on the grassland.

And after having him, many orders can be given in his name, anyway, since he didn't choose to commit suicide resolutely when he fell into the hands of the Tang Army, he didn't have to worry about what radical behavior he would have in the future. Not to mention the demand for Datang, anyway, there is not much discipline and reserve left, who let his little life be in the hands of Datang.

In this way, at least Datang stood on the moral high ground, so that Tuyuhun's resistance force had a lot less reasons to continue the rebellion.

By the way, he was also used to carry out fishing law enforcement, and wiped out some of the local forces in Tuyuhun who were determined to rebel, which also had a more positive effect on maintaining the stability of Tuyuhun, so that Datang could better digest the real benefits of this war and make good use of this breeding base.

With such brilliant achievements, when these meritorious soldiers returned to Datang, they naturally received the warmest welcome. Especially when I returned to Chang'an City, the road was crowded with Chang'an citizens who spontaneously came to pay homage to the heroes, and the scene was absolutely spectacular.

Shi Lei, who ran home early, obviously couldn't enjoy such treatment, but several of the classic battles did not lack his credit, especially the capture of Fu Yun alive, which made him very hopeful of climbing to the top of the merit book. Even if Shi Lei didn't go to Jun Sima to look at it, there was still no shortage of this self-confidence.

However, before the army really returned to Chang'an City, he had been thinking about what reward he could get, so Shi Lei, who was very concerned about the return date of the army, was rarely concerned about another matter.

The future empress Wu Zetian, who had just been secretly helped by Shi Lei not long ago, was still remembered by the royal people, but she was not selected to serve Li Shimin in the palace.

Although Empress Changsun often takes the initiative to draft a draft girl for Li Shimin, there are really few people who really enter the palace. There is the eldest grandson queen who is favored in the front, and there is no official who hopes that his daughter can compete for the queen and succeed in the throne, so the enthusiasm for sending her daughter to the draft is not very high. Wu Zetian did not embark on the old road of history and became a talented person of Li Shimin.

But she became Li Zhi, the fiancée of the young man who hadn't grown up yet! Maybe history always has its strong inertia, I didn't expect Shi Lei to work so hard for so long, but these two people are still connected in such a way, and if nothing else, a few years later, they will really become a couple.

It's just that it is really unpredictable whether they will perform the "good story" of the couple emperors in the end. Of course, from Shi Lei's point of view, he definitely doesn't want such a thing to happen again, so where will he put his efforts, and where will Li Chengqian go?

And this incident also reminded Shi Lei, could it be that there is really a so-called will of the world, and surreal things such as the wheel of history exist, which have been pushing things to run according to their inherent ways?

What about the changes that I was complacent about before, those changes to the people around me and the environment, and the history of Datang?

For example, Fu Yun was not captured alive by himself, not that his bones were gone, how can this be explained? Such a question really bothered Shi Lei.

However, as an optimistic guy, Shi Lei will not be entangled in such things for too long, he has never liked to drill the horns, and such a question is impossible to think of if he wants to break his head, it is better to relax and enjoy the moment.

Anyway, the current Li Zhi and Wu Zetian really don't have that ability, affecting Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince, and they are far from the position of the emperor, so it's a bit too early to worry about them now, it's better to think about how to hit Li Tai's reputation a little more reliable.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Chengqian's current performance is too good, as long as he doesn't really die, or can't wait to kill his Laozi, his position as the crown prince is very stable.

Even if he looked like an unlucky bear child in history, before he was accused of rebellion, didn't he sit in a very stable position. Now he is much more competitive than his contemporaries in history, diligent, shrewd, confident and modest, and has a good figure that no one in his brothers can match, no matter how you look at it, he is a more suitable candidate for the crown prince than his brothers.

Therefore, Shi Lei felt that he was a little worried, so he simply put this matter behind him for the time being, and just asked him to strengthen the security protection of the prince when he saw Xue Rengui, and he didn't seem to be able to help much.

If you want Shi Lei to say, it is best to arrange those guards from the Shi family to surround Li Chengqian, and then put those Tibetan mastiffs around, and Xue Rengui, a top master, to protect him, this is the safest way.

After all, the guards who came out of the Shi family have all been transformed by Shi Lei, and their physical fitness is the top, not much worse than a talented fierce general like Xue Rengui, and their own combat experience is also extremely rich, they are definitely rare master levels, there is no better candidate for personal guards than them, especially when dealing with the enemy's surprise attack.

It's just that Shi Lei can't say this directly, Li Chengqian is surrounded by people close to the Shi family, what do others think, Shi Lei himself said that he would not ask about the affairs of the East Palace, which is a bit of a backtracking.

Moreover, those guards from the Shi family, except for some who stayed by Li Chengqian's side as personal guards, some guys with more leadership ability are now doing positions such as leading the team in the East Palace, and it can be said that they already have a certain level.

Although because of their previous experience, even if these people are not as loyal to the Shi family as before, their friendship is definitely not bad, but if Shi Lei really blocks the way of promotion, it is difficult to say whether they will have resentment in their hearts.

For the sake of a little vague worry, it is not worth doing such a thankless thing, so in the end he didn't say anything, and gave a general meaning.

After putting down this matter, Shi Lei finally looked forward to the complete return of the triumphant army, and in the warm celebratory atmosphere in Chang'an City, Shi Lei came to the palace in a low-key manner, and together with other representatives of meritorious soldiers, accepted the reward announced by Li Shimin in public.

Shi Lei really won the first merit in this battle, so he became the object of Li Shimin's heavy praise, and he really leaked his face in front of the ministers.

In addition to those regular rewards, important generals like Li Jing and Hou Junji who have made outstanding contributions also have additional rewards, of course, including the promotion of positions, and even heavyweight rewards such as food.

And Shi Lei's latest appointment also followed, he became the governor of Pingzhou next to Youzhou, subordinate to the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, and was officially promoted to a high-ranking official from the third grade. This should be said to be relatively easy to understand, but what the hell is it for him to concurrently serve as the assassin of Pingzhou?
