Chapter 282

Qin Feng couldn't help shaking when he saw Li Chengqian's body.He secretly smiled and said: For Li Chengqian, this is the bride getting on the sedan chair, and it is the first time that he has faced so many warriors, faced with such a grand scene and ready to burst out with murderous aura, it is inevitable for ordinary people to do this.Perhaps it wasn't fear, but more excitement.I couldn't help but feel excited.

The current frontier army does not lack fanatical belief and high-spirited fighting spirit, and now that the prince is here in person, their morale has been boosted even more.

Li Chengqian's hand holding the hilt of the sword was already sweating a little, as if he was about to lose himself, and he felt a rush of pride in his chest, almost breaking through his chest.

"You are Datang's most loyal warriors, the most precious warriors! I sincerely thank you for everything you have done for my Tang Dynasty and the people of the world."

"Long live, long live, long live."

In this era, there was no kneeling ceremony or the habit of "long live, long live, long live, long live". It is said that long live, long live, long live began with Wu Zetian.These three titles of long live are also the reason why the legend of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called Shan Hu long live.In this era, "long live" is a congratulatory language, not a prescribed title for the emperor. Even if Li Shimin meets a lifesaver, he can call him long live to express his gratitude and joy.

Therefore, all the soldiers and soldiers greeted with three shouts of long live.

After the voice subsided, Li Chengqian waited and watched for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Qin Feng, come forward and listen to the seal!"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, and he couldn't think too much at this time, so he stepped forward and said: "The final general listens to the seal!"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly. At this time, a guard stepped forward, bent down, and opened a sandalwood box with both hands. Li Chengqian opened the box and took out the imperial decree!In front of the whole army, read aloud:
"General Huben and Governor of Gyeongju, Qin Feng, was extremely wise and brave. He went deep into the desert with [-] elite soldiers, defeated the enemy, defended our homeland, and raised our country's prestige in the Tang Dynasty. There are more than one hundred thousand members of Shi Nazhanhan's family, with great achievements, who are the vanguard of hundreds of battles, and the enemy of Gai Wanfu. They are specially conferred the title of General of the Huben Army, and their food is increased by one hundred..."

Qin Feng was dumbfounded!
Really confused!

When I heard the general of the Huben army, I felt as if someone had knocked on my head with a sap. I didn't hear anything that was said later, and it didn't matter. The important thing was "General of the Huben army".

Qin Feng could think that the reward this time might not be small, one is because of military exploits, and the other is because he robbed a lot of valuable materials.Although this is not considered a military achievement, it is something that the Tang Dynasty lacked. There is hard work without credit, and there is an excellent good impression. No matter what the rewards are, there will be more rewards.

But he never imagined that he would be named the General of the Huben Army, which is the core of Li Tang's military affairs with the title of General and real military power.

In terms of merit alone, with the achievements of Qin Feng and Li Tang this time, it is more than enough to serve as a general, but it is still enough.The problem is that military exploits alone are not enough for a position like a general, and various external factors are required to have seniority, family background, and status.

Although Qin Feng has a family background to rely on, his qualifications are still young, and his age is even more flawed.

The 17-year-old general, in Li Tangmo's words, was Qin Feng, even in the previous dynasty, there was no such precedent.

Although Qin Feng felt that he would get a good reward this time, he never thought that he would be directly promoted to the general of the Huben Army. This was beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian who was on the side.

Li Chengqian winked at him, with a springy smile on his face, obviously he already knew about Li Shimin's appointment.

After a sudden accident, Qin Feng gradually regained his composure. He relied on his own strength to get to this point, and never relied on Qin Qiong from the beginning to the end.Huo Qubing was able to serve as the General of the Hussars when he was weak, so why couldn't Qin Feng be the General of the Huben Army?
With this in mind, Qin Feng said loudly: "Some rewards from Your Majesty."

From Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai, Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Du He down, the whole army cheered when they heard that Qin Feng had become the commander of the Huben army. Congratulations again and again.

The generals are overjoyed when they hear the news. They are used to Qin Feng's fighting style, and they are also used to Qin Feng as a leader. Everyone respects him very much. , maybe the boss who is against Qin Feng will be in big trouble.

They are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.Now Qin Feng has been directly promoted to the general of the Huben Army. After that, only Li Shimin, who has a superb military level, is in charge and mobilizes them. Therefore, each of them is happier than himself being promoted to a high official. Of course, all the generals will also be rewarded.

For Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son, the Turks were a great shame, and the pain in their hearts could not be washed away.

At the beginning when Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, before he gained a foothold in Taiyuan, the Turks became his confidant's serious trouble, and his back was stabbed.As a last resort, he made friends with Turks and hugged Turkic thighs in exchange for the opportunity to attack Guanzhong.After Turkic Shibi Khan died, Li Yuan and his son were forced to wear hemp and filial piety for him.Wearing filial piety to a foreigner is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation in life for Li and his son, but the Turks are too powerful and have to endure the humiliation.

After the Li family entered Guanzhong, they faced a chaotic situation. If they want to rule the world, it is even more impossible to fight against the Turks who are far more powerful than Li Tang, so they can only compromise again.With the concerted efforts of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Datang accomplished the great cause of unification.However, as a result of the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the world dropped by three-quarters. What Li Yuan faced was the desolation of villages, towns and fields, and no rooster crowing for hundreds of miles.The world was initially determined at the time of the event, and a thousand wastes were waiting for prosperity. The people barely survived, so how could they have the ability to fight against the Turks.

In such a difficult situation, Yang Guang had learned from the consequences of forcing a war, so Li Yuan once again chose to bow his head to the Turks.

As an emperor, as an ambitious emperor, only Li Yuan knew how heartfelt it was to make this decision.But he knew better that he had to endure. The heroism of the Han Dynasty was created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but if there were no Emperor Wenjing and his relatives for years to recuperate, what would Emperor Wu of the Han use to achieve the heroism of the Han Dynasty.

Li Yuan believed that his own humiliation would give future generations a chance to exhale and raise their eyebrows.So if you can't bear it, you have to bear it.

Therefore, during the era of Li Yuan's rule, the Tang Dynasty had always adopted a policy of seeking peace with the outside world, and would not fight if it could not be fought.Although Li Jiancheng was appointed to be responsible for the defense of the Turks, he lacked the confidence to really use force.Once the Turks invaded, all they wanted was to seek peace and give money and goods in exchange for a chance to recuperate.After the Xuanwumen Incident, the death of Li Jiancheng caused a fatal loophole in the frontier defense arranged by Li Jiancheng. Jieli Khan took the opportunity to dispatch an army of 20 troops to Jingyang, which is only forty miles away from Chang'an, without any pressure. The capital was shaken, but at this time, in the city of Chang'an, where people were panicked due to the Xuanwu Gate change, there were only tens of thousands of troops. Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six people had a dialogue with Jieli Khan across the Weishui River, and beheaded the "Weishui alliance" between the white horse and the Turkic Khan, and the Turkic soldiers retreated.Although Jieli Khan withdrew his troops, he also emptied all of Datang's treasury, resulting in the subsequent reduction of Datang's national power, and many constructions that benefited the country and the people had to be abandoned due to lack of money.

The Weishui alliance certainly avoided the Tang Dynasty's fighting under unfavorable conditions and stabilized the situation for itself.It bought time to develop the economy and accumulate strength, which was an important turning point in the changes in the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.However, in Li Shimin's heart, he has always regarded it as a great humiliation in his life. The combination of previous hatred made Li Shimin regard Jieli Khan as the greatest enemy in his life.

Li Shimin is not a doormat. He has a history of being able to swallow his anger and humble himself, and he is not willing to leave a stigma in history.Let me ask an emperor to choose between Emperor Wenjing and Hanwu, who would choose the former?
He wants to fight the Turks, but there are many difficulties. First, because the ministers in the court are used to seeing the power of the Turks, some people have been frightened, and they still have lingering fears about the Turks even if they are divided. Second, they think that the current Tang Dynasty is still It does not have the national power and army to fight against the Turks.

While everyone was arguing, Qin Feng killed Jieli's confidant Ashina Zhanhan lightly and killed nearly 10 Turks.The Turkic damage was so great that Xieli didn't even fart.

The result of this battle directly raised the morale of Tang Wenwu and the people in the country, and also made Datang Wenwu realize that Li Tang was not as weak as imagined, and the Turks were not as strong as imagined.

They can still fight!Immediately, Tang Wenwu, who had lost their fear of the Turks, shared a common hatred with the enemy, and almost completely passed Li Shimin's recent series of policies against the Turks without any objection.And all of this stems from Qin Feng's great victory, from Taotao's endless swarming of spoils in Chang'an City, and it is precisely because of this that Li Shimin has today's award and promoted Qin Feng to the Great Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. The core level of the military group, and Qin Qiong are listed as the great generals of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that what Li Shimin rewarded was not this great victory, what he rewarded was Qin Feng's profound influence on Datang behind this hearty victory.This battle demonstrated the prestige of the Datang army, as well as the bloodiness of the whole Tang Dynasty, and the long-silent iron-blooded and martial spirit.

The country needs a hero, the army needs a hero, and the world also needs a great hero. Because of this, Li Shimin complied with the needs of the national strategy and established Qin Feng as a hero, an example, and a business card of Datang. and promote it nationwide.
