Chapter 160: Good news

"Greetings to the Heavenly Soldiers, Greetings to the Heavenly Soldiers!"

The people of Champa fell to their knees on both sides of the streets, shouting loudly to welcome the Tang army to occupy the city.

Especially the untouchables, for whom whoever runs the city will not affect their lives.

Whoever became the master, they were the lowest group, belonging to the impermanence of the master's family, and even the Shudras were nobler than them.

In the country of Linyi, untouchables are like slaves, they are cattle that can be disposed of at will, and Shudras are the real people!

For the untouchables, whether it is Lin Yi or Datang, there is no difference, whoever takes over the city, they will kneel to whom!

Han Shizhong and the others came to the palace smoothly, arrested King Fan Jian, and Fan Jian's family, locked them up first, and waited for Li Jing to arrive.

"What about your king? Where are the others? ”

Han Shizhong looked at the men, women, and children kneeling in front of him and asked.

These people are Fan Jian's wife, children, parents-in-law, as well as Fan Jian's uncle Bo Luobao and other relatives.

"Our king, he went out in the morning, saying that he wanted to lead the army against the heavenly soldiers!"

Bo Luo Bao hurriedly said.

"Humph! Just by him, he also wants to stop my Tang army, it's really beyond his strength, besides him, is there anyone like your king, who is the enemy of my Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Duozuo pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and glared at everyone angrily, once the other party said the wrong thing, he immediately made the other party's blood splash three feet!

"No, no, we have admired Datang for a long time, since my king offended Datang, I have always advised my king not to be an enemy of Datang, otherwise, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will immediately turn into powder, but my king just doesn't listen, he has to go his own way!"

Bo Luobao was scared half to death, and hurriedly denied it, at the beginning, it was he who conspired with Fan Jian to detain the envoy of Datang, and used this as a threat to make a lot of money from Datang!

But no one expected that Tang Jun would be so impulsive and start fighting without saying a word, wouldn't they be worried that their envoy would be killed?

Anyway, the matter of offending Datang can only be carried by Fan Jian's kid, he is a lot older, but he can't carry this pot.

Fan Jian would never have thought that when he was praying in the temple, a cauldron would fall from the sky on his head.

"Let me ask you again, where is your king now? Also, where is my envoy of the Tang Dynasty now? ”

Han Shizhong asked again.

He didn't care whose fault it was, now he only cared about where Fan Jian was, and he couldn't let him run away.

If he runs away, there will be a lot of trouble, if he stands up and raises his arms, the old ministers of Lin Yiguo will run to him and follow him to continue to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

Only by controlling Fan Jian can he smoothly grasp Lin Yiguo and turn it into a part of the Tang Dynasty.

The other is to solve the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, this crusade against Linyi Kingdom, but under the banner of hanging the people and saving the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't even ask, it's really not appropriate!

"The day before yesterday, I was entrusted to my king by the three-phase god in a dream, saying that he would bless him, I guess my king should be in the temple! The angel of the Tang Dynasty is imprisoned in the dungeon by my king!"

Borobao said again.

After Han Shizhong heard this, he ordered Li Duozuo to watch them and go to the dungeon to rescue the Tang envoy!

He personally led his troops to the temple to capture Fan Jian, who was praying for the protection of the three-phase god.

Han Shizhong came to the temple, but was stopped by the people of the temple, and did not let Han Shizhong and the others enter, for fear that they would blaspheme the gods, which is a big crime!

even threatened that if Han Shizhong and the others dared to trespass, they would definitely be punished by the gods!

Han Shizhong ignored their tricks, and directly ordered people to take down all the attendants of this temple, and he led people to break in directly and arrest Fan Jian, the king of Linyi Kingdom.

As for what God's punishment?

If their gods have any opinions, they will go to the gods of Datang, and they will have a good talk, if the three-phase gods have any opinions, just go directly to Sanqing!

The affairs of the gods are handled by the gods themselves.

The affairs of the mortal world are still handled by them as mortals, so they don't have to worry about the gods.

When Han Shizhong entered the temple, he saw Fan Jian kneeling on a futon, praying sincerely to the Three Phases God, hoping that the Three Phases God would hear his heart and help him drive the hateful Tang Army out of the realm of Linyi Kingdom.

But no matter how much he prayed, no matter how devout he was, the great three-phase god in his heart did not react at all.

Han Shizhong didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, he asked people to take Fan Jian away and go where he should go.

It wasn't until this moment that Fan Jian woke up to the fact that Lin Yiguo was really finished, and the omnipotent existence in his mind finally abandoned him.

After capturing Fan Jian and settling the Tang envoy who had been resolved, Han Shizhong sent Yang Siqiao to continue to sweep the south and completely eliminate the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom.

Han Shizhong personally wrote a report to Li Jing, who was coming, to report the good news of victory!

Han Shizhong sent someone to hurry up and deliver the good news to Li Jing.

……

Li Jing looked at Han Shizhong's recital.

There was a look of joy on his face, and there was a hint of regret in his joy!

If it weren't for the bad mountain roads here, the speed of travel would have slowed down, and he would have missed the opportunity to attack the city.

If it weren't for the difficulty of the mountain road, maybe he would have been sitting in the palace of Linyi Kingdom, accepting the captives and everything from the King of Linyi!

Where will it be like now, you have to eat and sleep in the open, and you can't be there to participate in the battle, it's really a big regret in life!

Han Shizhong told the story of the battle and all kinds of things after entering the city.

He also said that it was thanks to him, the emperor's Hongfu, that he was able to conquer the city so smoothly, take down the family, including the king, and successfully rescue the envoy of my Tang Dynasty.

Han Shizhong is worthy of being a social expert, and he is very sophisticated in his grasp of human feelings.

Han Shizhong will take the first credit for occupying the city and give it to Li Jing, the emperor, and the emperor will personally conquer the city, regardless of whether he arrives at the scene or not, this greatest credit should belong to the emperor.

If they hadn't trusted His Majesty the Emperor's Hongfu, how could they have conquered the city so smoothly, not suffering heavy casualties under the city, touching a nose of ashes, and finally retreating in ashes, even if they burned high incense, where would they dare to ask for anything else.

It is precisely because of the dragon power of His Majesty the Emperor that the soldiers are like divine help, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, on the other hand, the soldiers of Linyi Kingdom, under the dragon power of His Majesty the Emperor, have lost their fighting spirit!

The army of the Tang Dynasty was able to capture the city so smoothly, you say, who else is eligible to receive this greatest credit besides the emperor?

Without anyone else, no one else deserves the first merit, and the first merit belongs only to His Majesty the Emperor!

After filming the emperor's sycophants, he should ask for credit for the soldiers who were born and died, Han Shizhong did not directly ask for rewards for the soldiers, but just counted the military merits of the soldiers!

Rewarding such a thing, that's the emperor's business, how to reward, how to seal, it's not a courtier who should talk too much, too much is arrogance!

Li Jing put down the report in his hand, looked up at Ximen Yang in front of him, and said, "Han Shizhong sent the report, hoping that I can reward the meritorious ministers!"

"Han Shizhong has a lot of credit for being able to take Zhancheng so quickly this time, how do you say you should reward him?"

When Ximen Yang heard this, he was shocked!

How could he be a part of such a major event?

But when the master asked, he couldn't help but answer!

"The old slave didn't dare to say much about such a big thing, and asked the saint to make a decision!"

Ximen Yang saluted with his hands, this trip to the muddy water is not something he can wade into, but if he doesn't do it, he will have to hit the ground.

"What are you afraid of, I told you to say it, and you said it, even if you say it wrong, I will forgive you for your innocence!"

Li Jing said with a smile, he asked Ximen Yang to help with the staff, but he just wanted to listen to his opinions and see what reward should be given to Han Shizhong!

"Such a major event, non-old slaves can participate, Emperor Taizong's testament, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in court affairs, reward major events, the saint should tell the prime minister!"

Ximen Yang hurriedly said.

"You mean to promote Han Shizhong to prime minister?"

Ximenyang was shocked by Li Jing's words!

When did he say that he was going to promote Han Shizhong to prime minister?

I'm asking you to go back and discuss with the prime ministers of the court, how to reward Han Shizhong and other meritorious officials!

Why did you throw the pot on his head, if the old and old-fashioned ministers in the court knew about it, and didn't charge him with eunuch interference, he would join a large group of people to play and cut him down!

Saints! Can you not pit the old slave, if the old slave is killed, how will I serve you in the future!

"Sage, the old slave didn't mean that......"

Ximenyang hurriedly explained.

"Okay, I won't scare you, if I ask you, you tell the truth, out of your mouth, into my ears, no third person will know."

"Besides, I just want to hear your opinion, and I didn't let you do politics, what are you afraid of?"

Li Jing shook his head and stopped talking to Ximenyang, as for the reward for Han Shizhong and the others.

He also needs to ponder carefully, Han Shizhong is also the first merit no matter what, it is not too much to make him a national duke, so he will give Han Shizhong a founding county duke.

As for the others, they need to be carefully weighed and weighed, and there is no need to rush for a while!

"How far is it from Cham?"

Li Jing looked at Ximenyang, who was scared like a quail, and asked.

Before he arrived at Champa, he had to figure out how to reward the other meritorious officials!

"Sage, because the road is not very easy to walk, at least to get to the city, the old slave estimates that it may take two days!"

Ximenyang replied that the specific time of the time, this needs to consider other factors, and it may also be shorter than two days, and it may also be extended.

"I know!"

Li Jing leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and rested, just in time to give him time to think clearly!

However, this cement matter should still be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and when the matter here is resolved, he will rush back to Guangzhou immediately.

First burn the cement and build a road out of it!

Then, it was popularized to build cement factories in various places and produce a large amount of cement to carry out social construction, so that all towns and cities could be connected to roads paved with cement.

In addition to highways, there are also railways and trains, which must also be carried out!

First build a railway from Chang'an to the border to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass to the border garrison!
