177 Victory and Glory [Four Watches No. 2]
[Ask for a monthly pass, four shifts today]
The return of the army, as Li Er predicted, was on the morning of the fifth day, starting from the thirtieth day of Chang'an City, and then entering Chang'an City at noon. In the afternoon, he paraded the streets in Chang'an City, and Li Er took the main generals to worship in the temple!
Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhihong and other generals rode in the front, then generals at all levels, and then more than 1,000 elites selected by each guard, and a total of 8,000 people participated in the ceremony of returning to the honor.
Xi Junmai did not participate because he was not eligible.
The reason is simple, he is a slave. At least as long as the official paperwork reached him, he was still a slave.
Su Dingfang didn't participate either, because his rank was too low.
The team of Rong Hui is in Chang'an first, and the army is still lagging behind, and it is estimated that it will take another day.
The wounded and remnants walked more slowly, and it was estimated that it would take two more days to reach Chang'an City.
Hou Junji and other generals are still on the grassland, it is estimated that there will be a few people who have run far away and have not received the order to return to the army, and the nearest Hou Junji only knows that the decisive battle outside Shuofang City, the Tang Dynasty won. He was still rushing to Shuofang City, and he had not received any orders for transfer.
The army of Rong Hui was already twenty miles away from Chang'an City.
Li Jing didn't have a smile on his face, cold and resolute. Cheng Zhijie's face was darker than that of the captain, and except for Li Jing, the expressions of the four generals were all serious.
Laugh, what's so funny!
This victory, what is there to brag about!
If there is any significance of this victory, it is to solve the trouble of the Wei Alliance. That's all. The real strategic goal has only been completed by 30%, which is still 30% short of the minimum strategic goal originally calculated by Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing's jihua is that at least the grassland will not have the ability to raise troops for three years.
At present, a Jieli is disabled, but there is still a Turki Khan who retains his strength, and a Hui who is no less than Jieli has grown, and the Hui Hui, who was originally capable of fighting Jieli, faintly has the momentum of dominating the grassland instead of Jieli.
The leaders of the eight major tribes all went to visit the Hui Khan, and they couldn't find out what they had talked about.
But all this, after all, Datang won. The sergeants rejoiced because they had a reward to take. The generals are happy. Because they have merit in ascending.
Li Jing was not happy because the ministers slapped the generals in the face.
King of Qin, Admiral Tiance. On the top of the Golden Palace, he was slapped heavily by the ministers, and Li Jing was dissatisfied with this slap, even if Li Jing was also a scholar. But Li Jing is first and foremost a soldier. One is a military general.
Cheng Zhijie was dissatisfied. Because of this battle he was wounded, and he was almost dead. Even if he didn't save his life for Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, Cheng Zhijie knew the suffering of the wounded soldiers. Knowing the suffering of the remnants, they only asked for a face and didn't give them glory, and the ministers chilled the hearts of the generals and the Tang sergeants.
The dispute between the civil and military has been going on for a long time, and this time, the rift between the civil and military has become even greater.
Qin Qiong was also dissatisfied, because no one knew better than him what an injured general was, and the blood on his body had flowed several buckets. This blood was shed for the Tang Dynasty, so Qin Qiong knew what bloodshed was.
Wei Chigong is not happy, because King Qin is a happy person, let King Qin not be happy, let him Wei Chigong not be happy.
Duan Zhihong is only helpless, he is a wise general, he knows what a shishu is, what is noble and low, and he also knows that Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, is wrong, and the mistake is to challenge the rank system of the Tang Dynasty, even if the king of Qin is really for those soldiers.
When he was thirty miles away, Wei Zheng greeted him on behalf of Admiral Tiance's mansion.
Li Jing and the other five generals, Wei Zheng, who didn't have it at all, said a word, Wei Heizi, you are also a member of the Tiance General's Mansion, you actually shrank at a critical time, do you have any eggs?
This is what Cheng Zhijie scolded when he was resting last night, which was hard to hear, but it was responded to by many people.
Twenty Mile Pavilion, the eldest grandson Wuji and other officials greeted him, looking at the faces of Li Jing and other five generals from a distance, the eldest grandson Wuji did not step forward at all, Wang Jishan was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he read the praise in the past, and he did not talk nonsense with the five generals.
What is there to say, what more will there be when you enter the battle of Chang'an?
Cheng Zhijie is also a child of a family, although he is not a big family, but he is a scholar of Li Yuanxing. But in the eyes of the Seventh Family, Cheng Zhijie is a barbarian, and reasoning with Cheng Zhijie is the same level as playing the piano to the cow. Therefore, the officials of the family will not go up to talk about their own boring.
Ten miles!
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally greeted him, which was already a very grand etiquette.
Li Jing dismounted, but did not see Li Yuanxing in the greeting procession.
Praise the text, triumphant song, honor guard. Hundreds of officials congratulate, there should be, there are all, this is almost the triumphant return of the highest etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Because this is the first major battle after the Tang Emperor Li Er ascended the throne, and the victory was so perfect. As for what the strategic goals, to hell with him.
There are a few people in Datang who really understand strategic goals.
The people only look at the victory or defeat, but only the number of enemies killed.
The etiquette to greet the army lasted for a full hour, and the generals and colonels who participated in the ceremony cheered excitedly several times, and Cheng Biting Jin grinned several times and rushed to Li Er, he had something to say, and there was a lot to say. was blocked by Qin Qiong three times, and was glared back by Li Jing once.
Zuihou once, Li Er gave a look, and then shook his head gently, Cheng Biting Jin finally gave up.
What does Cheng Yanjin want to do?
Li Er knows very well that they all say that Cheng Yanjin is a bastard, but this is a bastard with affection and righteousness. He will definitely have Li Yuanxing to fight unevenly, and he will definitely be justified.
On the way back to Chang'an, Li Jing, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, was qualified to share the car with the Tang Emperor.
"Gorou didn't come, and announced that he was sick. The message to the Shijia was that Gorou was dissatisfied and unhappy because his request for a return of the wounded soldier was refused. Li Er said to Li Jing while responding to the cheering people on the side of the road.
Li Jing asked softly: "The real reason is that I am afraid that someone in the army will disrupt this ceremony of honor!" ”
"Tomorrow Gorou is going to kill someone, you help him. Under the pretext, I started with Wang Junkuo, and in the evening, I sent someone to tell you the details, and the other pharmacists arranged it. Then, you appease Zhijie and others, be honest in Chang'an for a few days, and then go to the Qin Palace, there are important things to do with Zhijie and Jingde! ”
"Command!" Li Jing responded.
Li Jing understood in his heart that it would not be easy for Li Yuanxing to return to Chang'an ahead of schedule, and he fought viciously with the family for several days.
The bloodless fight is more dangerous than the real knife and real gun.
Entering the Mingde Gate, the cheers of the people rose higher and higher. The generals and sergeants who participated in the return were all selected, with strong and heroic figures, bright armor, and neat steps.
This majesty brings peace to the people of Chang'an.
This majesty brought a shock to the foreign envoys, and it was also a deterrent.
This is the Datang Iron Army, in a sense, let the wounded soldiers be honored, so where is the face of the Tang Dynasty, is it that when the glory returns, let the wounded and disabled soldiers show their wounds? Or let the foreigners laugh at Datang?
Among the cheering people were some in rags, and there were also those with crippled hands and feet.
King Qin summoned the disabled soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to go to Qin Wangzhuang, this news has spread to the entire Chang'an, these remnants came here to take a look at King Qin, because of such a major event as Rong Gui, it is impossible for King Qin, who is the general of Tiance, not to appear.
But no one thought that King Qin was not in the team of Rong Hui.
When the team approached the Suzaku Gate, Li Jing suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Li Er.
Without talking or explaining, Li Er smiled and waved his hand gently. Li Jing's head slammed on the ground, then turned around and got out of the carriage, the long knife in his hand, and the whole team stopped neatly at the moment when Li Jing's long knife was unsheathed, and no one took another step forward.
"Solution!" There were hundreds of heralds chanting at the same time.
Disarming the army!
Li Er slowly closed his eyes, if Li Yuanxing is not the King of Qin, if the King of Qin is not Li Yuanxing, if he is a different person. I'm going to kill him, because it's so unsettling.
The next thing, Li Er didn't need to look at it to know, this was the response of the Tang Dynasty sergeant to the King of Qin.
The sound of neat disarming, eight thousand shirtless sturdy men. Everyone has scars on their bodies, this is a man's feat, this is the merit of the Tang sergeant.
Qin Qiong's body was densely covered with scars, scars on top of scars.
Cheng Yanjin's body still has blood marks, and it is impossible for such a serious injury to heal in such a short time.
The entire Chang'an instantly fell silent, there was no cheers, and no one even dared to talk about it at this time.
The sound of drums struck deep in people's hearts.
Li Er sneered in his heart, impeach, the family will not, and neither will the rest of the scholars, because I did not speak, because I trusted Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin. But the Li royal family will, they will be afraid, afraid of how much power a person who is also a royal family has.
At this time, it was a ceremony in which the Tang sergeants swore allegiance to General Tang Tiance, Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin.
It was a ceremony with the permission of the Tang Emperor.
The Li royal family has no reason not to be afraid, because their sense of existence will be lower and lower, and his power in the court will be snatched away by Li Yuanxing, if the Li royal family does not fight back, then Li Yuanxing will become the spokesperson of the Li royal family above the court.
Military! The most terrifying power in the Tang Empire, the most trembling power that makes others tremble, and also makes you afraid.
"The eldest grandson shoots!" Wang Jishan, who was standing in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, suddenly spoke, and the eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly, signaling that he heard it, please have something to say. Wang Jishan continued: "If the King of Qin counterattacks the Li family's embarrassment, what should the eldest grandson shoot? ”
"The eldest grandson's family, the Fang family, the Du family. will all stand with King Qin! ”
Wang Jishan smiled: "The Taiyuan Wang family also goes together, and if you want to come to the Cui, Lu, Zhao, and Li families, they will also go together!" ”
Liliang who weakened the Li royal family, the family is very willing, and this is still a civil war of the Li royal family, there is no reason not to do something that will fall into the ground. (To be continued......)
