Accompanied by the wolf smoke in the sky, the first to appear is thousands of armored soldiers, hundreds of bright flags are erected in the middle, hunting and hunting in the breeze, the bright armor shines brilliantly in the sun, the pace is neat, solemn and comes, as if the momentum of the mountains and seas, the indescribable majesty.

After the armored soldiers, there were thousands of cavalry guards, the queue was arrow-shaped, the front position, surrounded by dozens of cavalry guards, it was Li Jing and others, wearing light armor, a black forged cloak outside, and a tall horse under the crotch, who were used to such occasions, so they naturally understood what they should do, and a happy smile appeared on their faces.

After returning from the great victory, not only a few generals were laughing, the soldiers of the army were laughing, and the people who greeted them were even more thunderous and cheering, and when they saw the wolf smoke, they never stopped, as if it were bolàng, one after another, and finally set off a monstrous giant*, booming and rumbling through the sky.

The triumphant soldiers, hearing the thunderous cheers, were extremely excited in their hearts, and a sense of pride arose, but they also knew that they obeyed the military order, and before they arrived at the salute officer, thousands of soldiers stopped neatly, and then moved a few steps left and right, cracking a wide corridor.

Almost at the same time, Fang Xuanling hurried forward and shouted: "Generals have worked hard......

"Senior Brother Yào." Plum? is not slow, the last to come, grabbed Fang Xuanling's body, and walked quickly towards Li Jing and the others.

Shengxing is cautious, Li Jing will not make the mistake of being arrogant, he jumped off the horse lightly, he didn't see him for a while, his heroic spirit naturally did not decrease, but his manes were a little more weathered, obviously, this battle of conquering Tuyuhun was not as easy as everyone imagined.

"Mao Gong." Li Jing chuckled, with Li? said hello, and then walked by, greeted Fang Xuanling, and said: "It is really an honor for me to have the Minister of Labor and Fang personally greet me, and I am quite sorry not to go." ”

"The generals are fighting abroad, returning triumphantly, and it is hard work to contribute to the country, we are just a few steps out of the city to greet us, how can we call it hard work...... Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Li Jing smiled and greeted him politely, and the other civilian and military generals did not forget several other generals who went out with the army, Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, the secretary of the criminal department, and Li Daoyan, the general of the right guard......

At this time, everyone also let go of the difference between civil and military, sincerely congratulated the soldiers on their safety and safety, the return of the victory, the scene was lively, jubilant, after a while, Fang Xuanling felt that the time was almost up, waved his hand lightly, the miscellaneous servants started one after another, dozens of jars of fine wine were opened, and countless large bowls were poured one after another, until the wine jar bottomed out, and the spilled wine soaked the ground in large areas, and the rich aroma of wine spread, even if the people who were not good at wine smelled it, they couldn't help but move their throats, Not to mention the officers and men in the army who have no wine or joy, they immediately salivate with relish.

Fang Xuanling personally held a bowl of wine and handed it to Li Jing, and there was no need for special orders, the miscellaneous servants held the wine and distributed it one after another, first the generals in front, and then the soldiers nearby, and there was no rule, they would give it to whoever they saw, until the distribution was completed, only about 1,000 people got it.

The soldiers who didn't get the wine were not particularly jealous, after all, everyone knew in their hearts, the reward banquet to be held, the wine was enough, and they were absolutely indispensable.

It's a pity that Fang Xuanling didn't know, the soldier's thoughts, holding wine in his hand, made a speech with surging emotion, first reviewed Tuyuhun's crimes against the Tang Dynasty, how the emperor was angry, how he shot the case, and sent a large army to crusade, followed by a burst of praise for merit, the emperor is wise, the righteous teacher, the soldiers tried their best, and returned triumphantly.

had to be a little dry-mouthed, Fang Xuanling gave up, raised his hand to show everyone, raised his head slightly, put a bowl of wine into his stomach, barely replenished the water, fell smoothly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is offering sacrifices in the Taimiao, waiting for you to go home." ”

After drinking it all in one gulp, Li Jing threw the bowl and said loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, line up, and go home." ”

Bang, bang, Ling Luàn's voice sounded, and more than a thousand bowls fell to the ground, which was also quite spectacular, but everyone didn't have time to enjoy it, Li Jing gave an order, and tens of thousands of soldiers relined and shouted in unison: "Go home, go home......"

Hoarseness exhausted, conveyed for several miles, dozens of shirtless strong men, picked up nunchucks, beating the cowhide drum, the sound of dong dong, deafening, inspiring, for a while, the onlookers, blood boiling, waving arms and shouting, surrounded the army, slowly towards Chang'an City.

Along the way, on both sides of the official road, crowded with welcoming people, seeing the triumphant soldiers, they rushed up, and handed over wine, and served food, to a certain extent, worthy of the king's teacher, the people welcomed the road, pot pulp food.

The army of this era, there is no rule of not taking the needle and thread of the people in later generations, and when they saw the people sending wine and food, they did not refuse, they reached out to take it, and immediately devoured it, only a hundred steps, and they ate it, and when it came to the celebration banquet in the evening, looking at the rich and delicious food, many people regretted it.

Ten minutes away, due to the welcome of the people, it took half an hour to arrive at Chongxuan mén, the city mén was wide open, thousands of honor guards came out to greet them, the triumphant soldiers immediately stopped, Li Jing and others dismounted, only brought more than 100 personal guards, and slowly walked towards the palace, and the rest of the soldiers, obeyed the dispatch of the officials, returned to the barracks, and waited for the opening of the celebration banquet.

At this time, Han Rui, who was accompanying him in the distance, found that among the people, there were more than a dozen strangely dressed Hu people, who should be the nobles of Tuyuhun, and they didn't know whether they were captives or descendants, and they didn't need to be carefully distinguished, anyway, the meeting was just a prop for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, if they were lucky, the emperor was in a good mood, gave him a title, stayed in Chang'an City for the rest of his life, and enjoyed the glory and wealth, anyway, the Tang Dynasty treasury was abundant, and he was not afraid of raising a few more nobles.

Perhaps, some people feel that the soldiers forgot their lives and died and fought on the battlefield, but there were few who were awarded the title of Jin Jue, and these captives surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and were captured in defeat, but they were given the title instead, which is an injustice to the soldiers.

Actually, there is no need to care, think about it, these people, when they were in Tuyuhun, were in power, and they responded to the call, but now they have become captives, even if they have a title, they can't change the essence of the prisoners, just ask, who will respect such a nobleman, and the title on his body is a proof of shame anyway.

For example, the Turkic Jieli Khan, whose status on the grassland is equivalent to that of the emperor, calling for wind and rain, but he was captured by the Tang army in Chang'an, and Li Shimin treated him very well, but he couldn't stand this kind of captive life, and within a few years, he died of depression.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Taimiao, the place where the Li Tang royal family worshiped their ancestors, Han Rui and the others stopped and looked at Li Jing and they went. Sacrificing prisoners, they have their own set of cumbersome etiquette, and they can't be completed for a while, Han Rui and others can't leave in dereliction of duty, they can only wait outside the Taimiao, they can hear it from time to time, and they can't feel lonely.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray."

Until dusk, in the Taimiao, the voices of hundreds of officials of the imperial court came out, indicating the end of the ceremony, Han Rui and the others suddenly sobered up, cheered up, and stepped forward to greet the civil and military officials who came out.

Of course, today's protagonist is Li Jing and other military officials, surrounded by a group of people to Hanyuan Palace, the soft couch has been placed, the palace servants have been assembled and standby, the dining room in the palace is a hot scene, nearly 100 imperial kitchens wielding knives and shovels, cooking smoke is filled, wine and vegetables are fragrant, very you people.

The sunset is red, and it has not yet set down, in the palace, a bonfire has been burned, and red lanterns have been hung. Li Jing smiled, but was silent, but the other generals were not as restrained as him, unwilling to boast about their achievements, and told the story of the battle in a voice.

Several generals, focusing on the description, are naturally personal experiences, whether it is a plain narrative, or adding oil and vinegar, the cruelty of the battlefield is often more thrilling and bizarre than everyone imagined, fascinating.

The journey all the way, can be described as a feast and a lodging, prepared for hardships, first the first battle was successful, Tugu Hun was defeated and retreated, but the Khan Fu Yun was very dangerous and cunning, the implementation of the tactics of clearing the wilderness, burning all the weeds, in order to cut off the Tang army's horse food, can not march into the ......

"At this time, the hay has been burned, the grass has not yet sprouted, and some people believe that the war horse is thin and weak, and it is not possible to pursue it for a long time, so as not to be attacked by Fu Yun." Hou Junji talked eloquently.

Some of the military magnates nodded their heads one after another, feeling reasonable, after all, everyone knows that in the battle with the steppe aliens, they can only rely on cavalry to win, and they lose their war horses, and the infantry only has the share of being *.

"I don't think so." Hou Junji was stunned and wrote lightly: "At that time, Tugu was like a rat fleeing and the birds were scattered, the scouts were also extinct, the monarchs and ministers were taken away, and it was as easy as picking up mustard. ”

Sensing everyone's surprised eyes, Hou Junji felt a touch of pride in his heart, and said lightly: "The chief manager agreed with my opinion, so the soldiers divided into two roads, one south and one north, and attacked them separately, and went south with the king of Rencheng, going deep into the desert for more than 2,000 miles, experiencing severe cold and heat, hunger and thirst, so he had to stab his horse and drink blood, and ran for a long time, and finally met the thief chief Fuyun's troops, defeated his army, and captured many people......"

In the desert where there is no inhabited desert, the temperature difference varies greatly, sometimes the heat is unbearable, sometimes the cold is shivering, in addition, it has to go through the plateau, the Gobi and the mountains are fighting, the climate is harsh, the environment is difficult, in the absence of water to quench the thirst, not to say that the horse drinks blood, even the horse niào people ni is also a precious water source, to be carefully collected, there can be no slightest làng fee.

Recalling the experience of a few months, a resolute general like Hou Junji has a bit of sadness to look back on, not to mention the soldiers at the bottom, and I don't know how they survived, Han Rui sighed in his heart, and a strong thought surged out of his heart again, wanting to set up a monument for these unsung heroes to pass on to future generations.
