"This is Chang'an!" Looking at the towering city wall from afar, many soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate who had never been to Chang'an grew their mouths, and the nobles of the small countries in the Western Regions such as Kang Guo and Shi Guo in the prisoner car also widened their eyes, and even the generals in black showed incredible eyes, even in their country, they had never seen such a prosperous city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The convoy of people going out of the city and entering the city at the gate of the city is endless, and the luxury goods such as silk and porcelain that are more expensive than gold in the Western Regions can be seen everywhere here, and the pride and self-confidence of the people of the Tang Dynasty make Li You feel extremely gratified, which is the temperament that the people of China should have.

"Brother Xian, how long has it been since you returned to Chang'an?" Li Siye on the side pushed Li You, who was a little stunned, he had been to Chang'an many times before, but it was easier to adapt than others.

The last time I came to Chang'an was during the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it has been nearly nine hundred years since now, and Chang'an City has not known how many owners have changed during these nine hundred years, but this city is still the center of China, and it is the existence that all countries in the world look up to.

"Who's coming? What is the important thing to come to Chang'an? Seeing this team, the defenders of Chang'an came up from afar and looked at them vigilantly, but when they saw their banners, the vigilance in their eyes relaxed slightly.

"This general is Li Siye, the general of the Right Weiwei, who was ordered by Gao Xianzhi, the deputy capital of Anxi, the governor of the four towns, and the general of the Left Jin Wuwei, to escort the prisoners of the black-clothed food, Shiguo, Kangguo and other countries into Beijing to offer your majesty!" After that, Li Siye raised his voice, "I, the Tang Dynasty Anxi Protectorate, made an expedition to Talas City, defeated 100,000 black-clothed food coalition troops, beheaded 50,000 soldiers, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, captured war horses and ordnance, captured the enemy army, and captured the king's generals, and raised my Tang prestige and thousands of miles away!" ”

"I'm Datang Wansheng! Wansheng! Hearing this exciting good news, the defenders of Chang'an and the surrounding people cheered in unison, even for Datang, defeating an army of 100,000 was something to boast about.

"Li You, the commander of Guoyi, was ordered to escort craftsmen and ordnance to the Western Regions, and now he has completed the task and returned to Beijing to pay the order." Li You continued, took out the relevant documents from his arms and sent them.

"Li Duwei also made great contributions to Datang's victory this time!" Li Siye lost no time in praising his brother, "Captain Li killed the black-clothed generals Ziad and Houmaid in this battle with the army!" This big victory over Li Duwei should be the first credit. ”

Killing the enemy general in the midst of the army was the most popular legend among the people, and then countless people rushed to this side, trying to get some stories from Li You, so that they could go back and brag to their neighbors; The general of the Chang'an garrison looked at Li You enviously, he knew that with such a feat, it would not be a problem to even be promoted to the third level.

"The husband should be like this!" The crowd didn't know that the scholar shouted such words in excitement, and then this sentence gradually spread, and the people used this way to express their appreciation and admiration for Li You and others.

"It's all gone! In the future, there will be relevant celebrations in the imperial court, and it will not be too late to see when the time comes. "Traditionally, after the great victory and return to the court, the imperial court will hold celebration ceremonies such as sacrificing prisoners, which is also one of the favorite programs of the people of Chang'an.

The army led by them could not enter the city rashly, and could only stay in the military camp outside the city with the escorted prisoners for a while, while Li You and Li Siye rushed to the relevant yamen of the imperial court with their own soldiers.

The recital of this great victory has already been sent to Chang'an by Gao Xianzhi quickly, Li Longji was very happy to see it, and now he heard that Li Siye and Li You escorted the captives back, and immediately sent an order to enter the palace to report it.

Entering the palace from Danfeng Gate and entering the Xuanzheng Hall where the Tang Emperor handled government affairs, the two of them bowed to each other, and Li Longji couldn't wait for them to get up without waiting for the end of the salute, "Two Aiqing hurry up and tell me about this victory!" ”

Li Longji is sixty-seven years old this year, and his beard and hair are all white, but he looks very energetic at this time; As soon as the Kaiyuan Dynasty came, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty had reached its peak, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the side plug had won many victories, although there were Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others to disrupt the government, but the national heritage was still there, Li Longji did not feel the signs of the coming troubled times, and now he only thought that Gao Xianzhi's victory would leave a strong mark on the history books, and he couldn't help but be extremely excited.

"Obey the order!" Li Siye and Li You got up at the same time, and Li Siye told the story of the Battle of Talas 1510, and Li Longji and the courtiers were fascinated by it.

And Li You secretly looked at the people above, the richly dressed eunuch next to Li Longji may be Gao Lishi who took off his boots for Li Taibai at the beginning, right? It's a pity that I didn't see Yang Guifei, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.

"Good!" When he heard that Li Youzhen slashed Qi Yade and fled in embarrassment, Li Longji couldn't help but shout, "Li Aiqing is really a brave general!" ”

"Your Majesty has overdone it! Wechen just did what he did. Li You politely said a few words, which won Li Longji's favor even more.

"The rewards for the soldiers of the Gaodu Protector and the Anxi Protectorate will be awarded soon, as for Li Aiqing, what reward do you want me to give you?" Overjoyed, Li Longji actually gave Li You the opportunity to choose his own reward.

This saved me a lot of tongues, whether it was promotion or wealth for Li You did not mean much, he immediately came out of the line and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty Xu Chen to board the Lingyan Pavilion and see the demeanor of my former famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, so that the ministers can take their ancestors as a model to inspire themselves to make new contributions in the future!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the court, Li You's request greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and some generals sighed even more, as if they were complaining that Li You had wasted such a good opportunity.

"Lingyan Pavilion?" Li Longji was also slightly stunned before he reacted, but this was just a trivial matter, so naturally there was no reason not to agree, and immediately nodded and praised, "This matter is as you wish, Gao Lishi, after coming down, take Li Duwei to Lingyan Pavilion for a look!" It's just that if I only give you this reward, I'm afraid that some people will inevitably say that I am stingy, and I will award you a reward when I reward Gao Xianzhi in the future! ”

After a few words of encouragement, and some royal wine and other items, the court meeting dispersed, Li Siye first took the court officials to the military camp outside the city to inspect the prisoners, and Li You followed Gao Lishi to the outside of Lingyan Pavilion.

"Captain Li, this is Lingyan Pavilion, you can go up and pay your respects by yourself!" Gao Lishi was in a high position, so it was naturally impossible for him to wait here for him to finish reading, and after a few words of advice to the little eunuch, he said goodbye and left, leaving Li You, who was excited, to look at Ling Yange blankly.
