"Shang Fang. Which emperor's sword is it? Just when Li Nuoheng hesitated, the scouts of Xuanjia came to report that the generals of the rest of the army had approached the camp, and Li Nuoheng immediately ordered everyone to prepare to set off and return to Chang'an.

Chang'an City is now full of laughter, Li Shimin knew that the generals of the army were about to arrive in Chang'an, so he ordered to go out of the city to greet him in person. Suzaku Street was lined with welcoming people, who knew that it was the generals who were about to fight for them, resisting the blades of the Turks moving south.

"The army is in the city!" With a soldier shouting, the gates were wide open. At the forefront were the cavalrymen of Xuanjia, whose pitch-black armor reflected a cold light. The people of Chang'an were not afraid, but shouted excitedly. With the advance of Xuanjia, behind was the general team composed of Li Jing, Li Daozong and others. Majestic, enviable.

Li Nuoheng had long known that there would be such a scene, after all, Li Shimin's great joy was not to be said, so after he joined Team Zhang early, he slipped in and returned directly to the General's Mansion when the city gate was wide open.

"Ying Ying, Han Shuang, we're back!" Li Nuoheng shouted after entering the mansion.

"Got it, it's so much trouble outside, I didn't know you were back?" Ying Ying walked out of the house and looked at Li Nuoheng who was walking towards the courtyard. Team Zhang went to the small courtyard of the runway manager early.

"Hehe, didn't I want to tell you." Li Nuoheng looked at Ying Ying and Han Shuang and said with a wicked smile.

The three of them returned to the hall and began to whisper. And at the scene of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Li Shimin watched the generals of the Sixth Route Army come forward in turn but did not see Li Nuoheng's figure, probably guessed that he didn't like such a grand scene and didn't say anything, and then the Xuanjia people returned to the camp on the outskirts of Chang'an, and the generals entered the palace to start reporting the process of the war.

"Your Majesty, the King of Zhentang hasn't arrived yet, do you want to send someone to announce it?" The chief guard beside Li Shimin asked.

"Haha, no need. It is estimated that the fifth brother has already returned to the General's Mansion at this time to see my righteous sister, the beauty of the gentleman's adulthood, I will not bother them. Let someone send some rare ingredients, and by the way, tell the king of Zhentang that I will take my father to have a meal in the evening, let him prepare. After finishing speaking, Li Shimin returned to the Zichen Hall and listened to the generals who came back tell the detailed process of the battle.

"Tell Your Majesty, the Tang King of this battle town should be the first to make the first contribution, the strategy is unpredictable, and the soldiers are like gods." Li Jing and Xu Shiji sighed and said.

"Hahahaha, do you still admire my fifth brother? How much have you learned? Li Shimin is actually very worried, after all, Li Nuoheng and his party come and go like the wind, and after the last time Weishui said goodbye, he also sent people to look for him privately, but there was no trace. Li Shimin asked him to follow the expedition this time because he wanted Li Jing and them to learn from their teachers.

"I'm ashamed of Your Majesty, I just learned some skin, but the prince still trained a general star for our Tang Dynasty." Xu Shiji first said ashamedly, and then remembered that Li Nuoheng didn't accept an apprentice and hand it over to Li Jing.

"Oh? He also took in apprentices? Hurry up and let me see what kind of hero can make my brother, a mortal brother, pay so much attention? Then he sent someone to Xuan Xue Rengui to attack the face saint.

Xue Rengui also looked confused, he just entered the front of the Son of Heaven? But he also knew that this should be the master's reason. Xue Rengui patted his face and let himself feel refreshed, so he couldn't lose his master's face. After tidying up his clothes, he followed the guards into the palace.

"Grass people Xue Li, see Your Majesty." Xue Rengui saluted respectfully and said.

"Hurry up, stand up, and let me see what the next generation of my Datang will look like." After speaking, Xue Rengui stood up and looked at Li Shimin.

"It is worthy of being my Han family's son, brave and resolute, good! Mao Gong said just now that you are a disciple of King Zhentang, is it true? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the disciple is fortunate to enter the eyes of the master, although there is no formal apprenticeship, but the master has taught me everything. The disciple also studied seriously and learned a lot of skills, but it was still less than one-ten-thousandth of the master. Xue Rengui returned respectfully.

"Very good, not arrogant, humble and polite. Zhiyun has accepted a good apprentice. I heard from the military newspaper that when you attacked the Turkic tent, you shot Jieli's personal guards with a single arrow, and you must have mastered the art of bows and arrows. How about I give you a bow? Li Shimin really liked Xue Rengui more and more when he looked at him, and he wanted to give grace.

"Your Majesty, the bow and arrow used by the disciple have been given by the master. The disciple is grateful for His Majesty's grace. It's just that this battle is not my own work, and the disciple still needs to learn a lot. Your Majesty's grace, it is not too late to reward the disciples for their great achievements in the future. ”

"Good, good! It's really my Tang Dynasty talent, spread my will, and named Xue Rengui as a ranger general. At the same time, a Chang'an mansion was given. A few gold taels and a number of application products! Li Shimin knows that Li Nuoheng's military law is a godsend, and since he has an apprentice, of course he must be tied to his chariot.

"Minister, thank you!" After speaking, Xue Rengui hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

This reward stunned a few old fellows present, the sixteen-year-old ranger general, obediently, will definitely become one of the military speakers in the future. For a while, the congratulatory voices came and went. Xue Rengui also agreed one by one.

Li Shimin also saw everyone's thoughts, and he didn't want a general who he valued so much to be polluted by these officialdom things early. So he added.

"Aiqing, although I have appointed you as a ranger general in the court, you still have to study under your master. When you become a talent, I will definitely reuse it! ”

Li Shimin's words not only made the rest of the ministers dispel their undeserved thoughts, but also helped Li Nuoheng to regain the trajectory of history by the way. The real Xue Rengui would not come to prominence until 644 AD. However, Li Nuoheng's acceptance of apprentices advanced his entry into the Tang army by fifteen years.

After another round of praise and greetings, the generals also left the Zichen Palace. Xue Rengui also went over there after inquiring about Li Nuoheng's general's mansion from Li Jing and others, after all, his wife and mother had been living in the master's mansion. I just arrived at the door, and I happened to run into the people who announced the decree.

"General, the palace has sent someone to announce the decree." The guards of the Xuanjia Tianzi Department who were guarding the door entered the door and reported.

"Decree? So soon, doesn't the normal reward have to be discussed by the court before it comes out? Let's go, go out and see. Li Nuoheng took Ying Ying and Han Shuang to the front hall.
