The twilight dawned, the north gate of Chang'an, and the city gate slowly opened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pedestrians came in and out, more and more, and Chang'an, which had been silent all night, regained its vitality.

A cloth-clothed scribe dressed in a deep garment of kudzu cloth and wearing a hood on his head slowly entered the city from under the city. Although this person is coarse cloth, his eyes are bright, and his face has a strange brilliance, which makes people know at a glance that he is not an ordinary cloth cloth.

"The Western Route Army has a great victory! More than 60,000 people were beheaded, and countless people were seized! ”

A voice full of excitement came from afar.

The voice was excited, but hoarse.

The soldiers defending the city looked to the north and saw a knight galloping on a flying horse, with a banner on his back, which was the envoy of Hongling. His face was tired, as if he had traveled thousands of miles, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Shuofang West Route Army has won a great victory! Behead more than 60,000 people! Countless seizures are countless! ”

Hongling hurriedly made the excited voice sound again, and the pedestrians could hear it clearly.

"Shuofang's victory?"

"Beheading more than 60,000 people?"

"General Tiger Ben has won again?"

"Cut, what's the surprise that General Tiger Ben won?" A passer-by naturally despises the passerby who spoke before!

"That's it!"

This person's words were echoed by everyone.

"I just want to know now, General Qin, if you can catch Jieli Khan a year ago." An old vegetable farmer with gray hair said.

"Old man, why do you say that?"

"The old man has two sons, the eldest son was a subordinate of General Daqin before, and later he was fortunate to become a member of the Tiger Army, the younger son was a soldier of Zuo Weiwei, and now, he is also a soldier of the Tiger Army, the eldest son is a soldier of General Su Zhonglang, and the younger son is a subordinate of General Xue Rengui Zhonglang. If Jieli Khan is captured, won't the army be able to take a class? The New Year is approaching, the old man, the old man hopes that the two sons will come back for a reunion dinner. ”

"Huh?"

"Uncle is blessed, he gave birth to two amazing sons, and the recruitment of the Tiger Ben Army is very strict, not everyone who wants to enter will want to enter."

"House of Glory!"

"House of Radiance!"

The old man's words came out, attracting the attention and envy of everyone.

The old man picked up the burden, with infinite pride, and under the attention of everyone, he disappeared into the sea of people, silently, like all military families, silently and silently supporting the great empire.

Pedestrians are talking, you look at me, I look at you, and all that comes into my eyes is excitement.

"Won so quickly?" The soldiers defending the city had round eyes.

"What are you still doing? Still cheering? The cloth-clothed man waved his arms, raised his throat, and shouted loudly.

A word woke up the dreamer, and everyone roared loudly: "Shuofang is a great victory!" Long live Datang! Datang is mighty"

"Shuo Fang's victory! Long live Datang! Datang is mighty! ”

The pedestrians at the city gate waved their arms and cheered heartily under the reminder of the gray-clothed man.

Since the Tang Dynasty officially set out to fight, the people of the Tang Dynasty have been looking forward to a victory, a big victory!

Now, when victory finally came, they all cheered, tears and excitement.

Because, the Tang Dynasty wanted to defeat this old enemy completely!

The damage caused by the Turks and Jieli to the Han nation is too deep and too deep.

The joy spread like hot snow. First near the Luocheng Gate, then Beicheng District, and after a while, the people of the entire Chang'an were cheering!

"Shuo Fang's victory! Long live Datang! Datang is mighty! ”

Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an cheered in unison, and the sound reached the nine skies, and the sound was heard hundreds of miles away!

Chang'an is boiling!

Chang'an is completely boiling!

Boiling because of victory!

Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.

Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin sat on the throne with a solemn face, and the majesty of Mu Mu Tianzi was complete, so that the ministers did not dare to look up.

Li Shimin discussed national affairs with the Manchu civil and military forces in the court, and spring ploughing was coming. This large-scale use of troops consumed a lot of grain and grass.

Whether this spring ploughing is smooth or not directly means whether there will be a good harvest in the coming year. He attached great importance to this, and repeatedly told Si Nongqing to pay close attention to his livelihood, actively expand the fields, and gave many preferential treatments to encourage the people to produce.

Many good ministers also put forward some policies that benefit the country and the people, and Li Shimin felt that it was reasonable and acted on them one by one; even if there were objections, he did not rely on subjective judgment, but put them forward to discuss with the ministers, and gathered the wisdom of the people to solve the problem.

The whole court presented a peaceful atmosphere.

There are few problems that remain unsolved in front of their group of truly capable ministers.

Let them overcome all the existing problems one by one.

After dealing with government affairs, Li Shimin shifted the topic to the military and inquired about the deployment of everything.

"Your Majesty, this expedition to the Turks is more severe than we imagined, and the amount of grain and grass consumed far exceeds our expectations! The army of more than 100,000 consumes about 5,000 stone of grain a day, and about 150,000 stone a month. It took more than 20 days to travel from Chang'an to the prairie, during which there were more than 30,000 people in the grain transportation team alone, and they consumed about 20,000 stones. This side has only been fighting for a short time, and our army has already consumed about 200,000 stone of grain. In the future, it will be transported one after another, and the grain transportation team will continue to be dispatched, and more grain will be consumed. According to estimates, if the expeditionary force does not win for half a year, our Datang will be greatly damaged. After that, it will not be possible to conduct large-scale operations for three years, otherwise the treasury will fall into a situation of collapse. ”

Fang Xuanling stood up with a serious face, and a string of huge numbers came out of his mouth.

The sheer size of the numbers was staggering, and there was a buzz all over the country.

Li Shimin also gradually showed a look of surprise.

Fang Xuanling raised this question, not to investigate anyone's fault. It's about finding a way to solve the problem.

There is no shortage of wise and decisive monarchs, famous generals, and soldiers who can fight well.

What is the biggest drawback of the early Tang Dynasty? Well, everyone will answer one sentence: the population is small, and the economy and agriculture cannot be improved.

This is the biggest problem that restricts the development of Datang.

"Shuo Fang's great victory, long live Datang, Datang is mighty!" At this moment, there was a deafening loud cheer!

"Victorious! My Tang West Route Army won. ”

Li Shimin stood up with emotion, and said eagerly: "Hurry up, please Hongling urgently!" "It's not that he hasn't received a report of a big victory, but this time is of great significance, especially when Fang Xuanling proposes consumption, it is even more significant. This good news came too timely, so that all kinds of impetuous and anti-war voices had not even begun to suppress this urgent report.

"Your Majesty! Shuofang messenger ......, "Outside the hall, a loud voice came out!

"Xuan!" Li Shimin didn't say a word, and the word "Xuan" directly cut off what the guards were about to say.

"Chen Zhan, the general of the Tiger Ben Army, meet Your Majesty! Ladies and gentlemen! The stubble-bearded, grass-like soldier broke free from the support of the two guards and strode forward, his hands held aloft in the air.

The chief chamberlain took the battle report in his hand, and Li Shimin asked him to read it out loud in public.

The chief of the chamberlain gently unfolded the letter and read aloud: "On November 13, Qin Feng, the general of Huben, was ordered by Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, to send 40,000 troops overnight and went straight to the concentration camp of the Turkic West Route Army, and in the early morning of November 18, at sunrise, the camp was robbed and robbed, the Turkic army was caught off guard, and our army beheaded more than 60,000 enemies at the cost of 3,000. And in the early morning of the next day, he pulled out the camp and rushed to Dingxiang to join the division with the chief manager Li Jing, in order to win the enemy chief in a battle, and strive to return to Chang'an for the New Year before the holiday! ”

"Stealing camps and robbing villages in broad daylight?"

The ministers looked at each other, one by one in disbelief, you look at me, I look at you, and all that comes into my eyes is confused and unbelievable.

It's incredible, even a person like Li Shimin who knows the army has been blindsided for a while, he has fought for most of his life, and he has read countless military books, but it is definitely the first time to go to the camp and rob the village in broad daylight!

"Ridiculous!" An imperial historian stood up and scolded loudly: "In broad daylight, how can you steal the camp?" Do you when the Turks are moving at night and sleeping during the day? Or do you think that the ministers of civil and military affairs in the whole dynasty are all big fools who don't know soldiers? ”

Li Shimin frowned and thought about it, he believed that this battle report was absolutely true, but he couldn't figure out how Qin Feng did such a thing? Could it be that it was poisoned beforehand? Thinking of Qin Feng's amazing medical skills, Li Shimin suddenly thought about it.

You must know that people with excellent medical skills are not bad at poisoning, and vice versa. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows this truth.

"Your Excellency!" Chen Zhan roared angrily: "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that my general can't do it, you can't think of it, it doesn't mean that my general can't think of it!" "The soldiers are all hot-tempered, and when they saw that someone suspected their idol the most, suddenly, like a hedgehog with a fried hair, stared at the imperial history with a pair of vicious eyes, if it wasn't for the court, I'm afraid he would shoot out with a big kick.

"Tell me how you stole the camp!" Li Shimin spoke out at the right time, and also asked everyone's heart.

Chen Zhan glared at the official fiercely, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tuli's daughter, Ashina Yun once inadvertently told the general about a festival, and this festival is the main reason for our victory. ”

"Is it sunrise?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up! In an instant, he understood the reason for Qin Feng's big victory.

Sunrise!

As soon as this word comes out!

Ministers like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wang Qi, Kong Yingda, Xiao Yu and other ministers who were familiar with the situation of different races also suddenly woke up.

Li Shimin saw some people talking to each other and asking each other! Suddenly, he said with a happy smile: "Many people think that the first thing the Turks do when they get up is to barbecue meat, simmer milk, and then eat and drink, but in fact, this is not the case at all. The first thing the Turks do when they get up is neither to barbecue meat nor to simmer milk, but to worship the sun, which is to get up and gather together to bow to the rising sun, and then sing and laugh and tell each other about the day's dreams, that is, the day's plans. The Turks at this time are the most relaxed time, choosing to send troops at this time, the Turks are definitely lambs to the slaughter. The Turks are selfish and have no military discipline at all, and in the face of the sudden Tang army, they are absolutely in a mess, and then, in order to survive, they trample on each other. Speaking of this, Li Shimin asked Chen Zhan with a confident smile: "What I said is yes or no?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Zhan looked at the tall Li Shimin with reverence, this kind of look made Li Shimin extremely comfortable, and smiled and motioned for Chen Zhan to continue.

Chen Zhan came back to his senses and said: "Everything is as Your Majesty said, my general saw that the Turks were in chaos, so he resorted to a second plan!" ”

Li Shimin smiled knowingly and said: "Is it to surround the three queyi, let the Turks kill each other, and then send cavalry to chase and kill?" Are your losses all the army that stopped the Turks from escaping? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chen Zhan said respectfully.

"Do you have any doubts? Also, what is there to say? Li Shimin looked at the ministers and said proudly: "This strong man said well! If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it, and in the future, I don't want to hear this kind of irresponsible voice. ”

"Yes!" The subordinates are convinced!
