Chapter 399: Good News Returns to Chang'an! Li Er was so excited that he convulsed!
"That's not good, I'm worried that I don't have anything to relieve my boredom, I'm old black and this thing!"
Wei Chigong said with a disapprehensive face,
"Take two more puffs, and you won't believe it's uncomfortable!"
He's smart, Xu Fenglei's expression just now can't be acted, this tobacco leaf is definitely a good thing.
I just haven't figured it out yet...... Well, one more bite.
"Ahem, ahem!"
In the coughing sound of Wei Chigong's gang, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, from the west.
"Report, report!"
"Boss, the good news on the Western Front is coming, the good news on the Western Front!"
The cavalry shouted loudly, causing all the Tang soldiers in the camp to poke their heads out.
Xu Fenglei also raised his eyebrows.
For!
The cavalry rolled over and dismounted, got down on one knee, and presented the letter in both hands.
"Report to the chief manager, good news on the western front, Lingzhou manager Li presents you personally!"
Swish!
Xu Fenglei quickly took the envelope and opened it.
"WhewβI kind of feel it."
Yu Chigong narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little dizzy in his head.
He turned his head and couldn't help but ask:
"Chief Administrator, what did Li Daozong say in his letter? Did he succeed or not? I've been waiting for him for almost half a month! β
Xu Fenglei clasped his hands together, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"It's done."
He smiled and said,
"As I expected, Jieli ran away to Suni Lost Division."
"This wave is waiting for the rabbit, and it is right! At this time, it was already Li Daozong who was sent to Dingxiang with all kinds of flowers. β
"Hah! Jingde, don't leave it there to smoke, go back and pack your bags, count the loot, let's get ready to go back to Chang'an! β
Wei Chigong's expression was shocked, and the cigarette butt in his hand almost fell off.
β¦β¦
Chang'an, Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin was riding a war horse under his crotch, holding a horse lance in his hand, and was rushing towards the coming general!
Bite!
The two long weapons collided and quickly separated.
The two horses rushed over their heads, reversed direction again, and confronted each other again.
"Zhijie, come again!"
Li Er wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and shouted,
"Kill!"
He raised his whip and charged again!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Cheng Yanjin also shouted, grabbed his weapon and rushed forward!
Bite! Bite! Bite!
The war horse soared, stirring up layers of floating soil.
In just one stick of incense, the two clashed more than 30 times, and the sound of clanging was endless.
The eunuch and palace maid on the side were shocked when they saw it.
The sword has no eyes!
What if this hurts His Majesty the Emperor?
They had the heart to persuade them, but at this time, the emperor was on the rise, how could they listen to them?
Even if Wei Zheng comes, he has to eat behind closed doors!
"Whew, whewβ"
Li Shimin's eyes were blurred by bursts of sweat, and his whole person's breath was a little disordered.
On the other hand, Cheng Bites Jin, but he still sits on the horse straight, calm and relaxed, and still has time to play a gun.
Dozens of rounds, although it was a draw, the advantages and disadvantages were already separated - if the fight continued, Li Er would definitely lose.
"Your Majesty's combat power will not be reduced back then."
Cheng Yanjin sat on the horse and arched his hand, patted the horse and smiled,
"If you continue to fight, it's all a draw, why don't you rest first?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Not minus the year? Don't lose a fart! β
He was dissatisfied,
"This skill may be successful, but this physical strength is far inferior to back then!"
"I can't compare to you! However, that's not what I'm good at, so let's compare riding and shooting, how about it? β
This scene aroused his sense of victory and defeat.
"Ah......h
Cheng Yanjin said helplessly,
"Your Majesty spared the old minister, you all know that your archery skills are the best in the world, and the old minister's archery skills ...... I can only say that I can barely see it. β
"Don't bully the minister, let's rest...... You're sweating like a pulp right now, and you'll catch a cold when the cold wind blows. β
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
ββ¦β¦ Okay. β
Although he was not yet happy, he thought that it was not interesting to bully other generals with his expertise, so he stopped being stubborn and turned over and dismounted.
A group of eunuchs immediately gathered around.
"Your Majesty, come, cloak."
"It's cold here, you must not catch a cold, otherwise the queen will kill us!"
"Your Majesty, please use honey water."
ββ¦β¦β
The slaves and maids were waiting enthusiastically, and even Cheng Yanjin had two people on his side who were waiting for him to drink water.
Of course, Cheng Yanjin didn't have honey to drink, he only had cool white water.
"Whew."
Li Shimin took a sip of warm honey water and couldn't help but sigh,
"When the living conditions are good, people will naturally slack off."
"When you want to march and fight, how can you drink any honey water? It's nice to have a mouthful of clean water! Now...... It's totally depraved. β
He stepped forward and walked to Cheng Yanjin's side.
"Hey, don't you work so hard to have a day like this?"
Cheng Biting Jin said with a smile,
"If this is called depravity, then the old minister is willing to degenerate for the rest of his life."
"If there is a good life, who wants to live a hard life?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"That's it."
He looked up at Cheng Yanjin, and saw that there was not much sweat on his face, so he couldn't help but ask curiously,
"Zhijie, your physical strength is okay! I had dozens of face-to-face encounters with me, but I didn't even sweat at all! β
"Tell me, tell me, how do you maintain your physique and physical strength?"
Cheng Biting Jin's expression was grim.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not difficult to maintain your physical strength, you just need to keep exercising every day."
He replied,
"Lao Chen is at home, every day he will take a horse to exercise his legs and feet, lift a stone lock to exercise his arm strength, as long as it is a part of the body that can be practiced, and the meat that can be used in battle, we have to practice!"
"Especially the meat on the thighs, it must be kept fine, not fat! Otherwise, it would be much more strenuous to ride a horse, and many battles on horseback would not be completed. β
While talking, he also showed off his figure, which aroused Li Shimin's great admiration.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Er clapped his hands and praised,
"You are a military general with perseverance and perseverance!"
Cheng Yanjin shook his head.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to praise it, this is just the basic quality of a military general."
He is right,
"The old minister is ready to fight for His Majesty at any time! Although there is no chance now, Lao Chen believes that His Majesty will still have a place to use Lao Chen in the future! β
"Therefore, Lao Chen will continue to practice until he can't practice anymore!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.
With these words alone, Cheng Biting Jin is enough to be called a "famous general".
"Don't worry, there will be."
Li Er stepped forward and patted Cheng Jin's shoulder and said with a smile,
"Seriously, Zhijie."
"This time against the Turks, you failed to go into battle, do you feel very unwilling and envious of Wei Chigong?"
Cheng Yanjin's expression darkened.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's false to say that you don't envy it."
He smiled bitterly,
"But who told me that my luck has always been inferior to that old boy?"
"Your Majesty and the chief steward have given me a chance, but I didn't grasp it myself, and I can't complain about others' ......"
After a pause, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but say:
"Alas, I don't know what happened to Jingde in Turkic, there hasn't been any news from him recently, so there won't be any changes, right? This old boy is too reckless, and against the cunning Turks, it is very likely that he will suffer! β
The subtext of this is -
You might as well replace me! I have a lot of thoughts, and it's not easy to fall for the Turks!
"I don't know."
Li Shimin glanced towards the north and sighed lightly,
"Since the victory of Xiang, there has been no new battle report...... Maybe I'm in a hurry. β
"Historically, wars have been fought for as little as half a year and as many as decades! It's only been a few days, and it's right that there is no new progress, but ......"
"Alas!"
Cheng Yanjin smiled.
"But Your Majesty still has a lot of heart in mind." He said.
Li Shimin nodded.
"Yes! I can't wait to fly to the battlefield myself and command the battle myself! β
He couldn't help but say,
"Although my physical strength has decreased a lot, the experience of this battlefield, as well as the archery skills, are still first-class!"
"In fact, compared to the identity of the emperor, I now envy Xu Fenglei's general of the expedition to the north, he must be very happy to spread wild on the grassland at this time!"
Although Li Er is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, in his bones, the blood of a warrior is hotter.
Governance is important, but it is also very boring.
Jingji is always moving!
"Hey, Your Majesty doesn't dare to say nonsense, if Gong Wei listens to it, I'm afraid I'll have another spitting of saliva."
Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and said with a smile,
"You, don't worry, just in the battle of Dingxiang, our Tang army will gain a lot, which can be regarded as a big victory!"
"According to Lao Chen's thoughts, the new good news should be soon, maybe it's already on the way!"
Li Shimin bowed slightly.
The two were chatting, but they saw a janissary running up in three steps and two steps, with an unconcealable excitement on his face, rushing towards Li Shimin!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Good news, great good news! The chief manager has captured Jieli Khan alive and is on the way to triumph! β
His voice, like a firecracker, exploded in the ears of Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin!
Li Shimin: "!! β
Cheng Yanjin: "!! β
"Live...... Alive?! β
Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened and he exclaimed,
"Did you really capture Jieli Khan alive? Oh, my God! This ......"
Swish!
Li Shimin stepped up suddenly, snatched the good news from the hands of the guards, and looked at it.
He was already not calm, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he was breathing!
"Captive Turks...... Tens of thousands?! β
"Captured cattle and sheep...... Hundreds of thousands?! β
"In the Turkic West, Suni lost his troops and captured Jieli Khan alive?!"
"Ahh It's true?! β
Li Er's whole person trembled, and he looked at it several times before he confirmed to the guard,
"It's true?!"
"Back to Your Majesty, this is an eight-hundred-mile express delivery in northern Xinjiang, and the goods are genuine!" He responded.
Bang!
Li Shimin stomped his foot violently.
"Good, good, good, good! Hahahaha......"
The facial features on his face completely bloomed, and he laughed wantonly,
"Xu Fenglei, the true military god, the real military god!"
"There has never been such a wonderful moment, I want to spend the lake, I want to cheer! Hahaha......"
Syllable!
The good news in his hand slapped on Cheng Yanjin's chest.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?!"
Cheng Yanjin hadn't opened the good news to take a closer look, but saw that the emperor had already walked away, so he hurriedly asked in a loud voice.
"I'm going to tell the queen the good news!"
Li Shimin waved his hand without looking back, and walked straight towards the harem.
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he retracted his gaze and focused on the good news.
After just one glance, he froze.
"Good ......"
Cheng Yanjin muttered,
"This is a record...... This is really a god! β
β¦β¦
Harem, Queen's Courtyard.
"Guanyin, come on, come on, have another drink!"
Li Shimin's face was red at the moment, and he pulled the sleeves of the eldest grandson's innocent coat, which was cup after cup.
"Okay, okay, I know you're happy, but you can't drink too much."
The eldest grandson Wujian accompanied him with another cup, and couldn't help but say helplessly,
"Great joy and sadness, drinking too much hurts your body, don't overdo it because you are happy, and when the time comes, you will break your body."
"It's time for tea."
As she spoke, she intimately poured a cup of sobering tea for Li Shimin.
"Hey, you don't understand ......"
Li Shimin waved his hand, pushed away the tea, pointed to the wine glass in front of him, and said,
"Do you know how happy I am right now!"
"This battle almost wiped out the Turkic country! Do you understand what that means? It's just knocking out the country! β
"The most important thing is that he also captured Najieli Khan alive! Do you know how hard it is to capture this alive? How significant is that? β
"Oh, I'm so happy! I'm really ......"
As he spoke, Li Er's palms swayed uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wujian looked a little more helpless, but in his heart he was also happy for his husband.
"Why don't I understand, three years ago, when the Weishui Covenant was signed, one night you hid in the quilt and cried quietly, still muttering in your mouth, what have you never suffered such a grievance in your life......"
She touched Li Shimin's head and smiled.
Li Shimin's old face flushed: "......"
Rub, this black history has been turned out!
On that occasion three years ago, although Xu Fenglei reminded him to dispatch troops and horses in advance and scare off Jieli Khan, after all, the Turks drove straight in, swaggering and looting in the territory of Datang, and finally broke through all the way to his eyes.
Although the final loss was not too big, it was still regarded as a great shame by Li Shimin! We must take revenge for the shame of coming back!
And now, this revenge has finally been avenged!
And it's the coolest kind, and he directly captured the initiator Jie Li alive!
Is there a better script than this? What could be a better outcome?
Without!
"Whew."
Li Shimin calmed down a little, took a sip of sobering tea, and said,
"Guanyin, tell me, this time, how should I reward the soldiers? Including Li Jing and Li Ji, they ......"
"Especially listening! Seriously, his status is high enough, but for such a great achievement, he must not be rewarded! Even a little less reward is disrespectful to his great achievements in eliminating the conflict! β
"Alas...... It's nerve-wracking, can you help me think about it? β
While he was happy, he was also worried.
This time...... What else can be given to Xu Fenglei?
