Chapter 400

At dawn, the north gate of Chang'an slowly opened.

There were more and more pedestrians coming and going, and Chang'an, which had been silent all night, regained its vitality.

A commoner scribe, dressed in a deep coat of Gebu and wearing a Futou, walked slowly into the city from the bottom of the city.Although this person is dressed in rough clothes of Gebu, his eyes are bright and his face has a strange brilliance, which makes people know that he is not an ordinary scholar.

"Great victory for the West Route Army! More than [-] people were beheaded and countless captured!"

An excited voice came from afar.

The voice was extremely excited, but extremely hoarse.

The soldiers guarding the city looked north, and saw a knight galloping towards the city with a feather flag on his back, it was Hong Ling who was in a hurry.His face was exhausted, as if he had traveled thousands of miles, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Great victory for the Shuofang West Route Army! More than [-] people were beheaded! Countless people were captured!"

Hong Ling's anxiously excited voice sounded again, and pedestrians could hear it clearly.

"Shuofang great victory?"

"Behead more than [-] people?"

"General Huben won again?"

"Tch, what's the surprise that General Huben won?" A passerby naturally despised the passerby who spoke before!
"that is!"

What this person said got everyone's response.

"I just want to know, General Qin, if he can catch Jieli Khan before the year." An old vegetable farmer with gray hair said.

"Old man, why do you say that?"

"The old man has two sons. The eldest son was a former subordinate of the Great Qin General. Later, he was fortunate to become a member of the Huben Army. The youngest son is a soldier of Zuo Weiwei. Now, he is also a soldier of the Huben Army. They are soldiers of General Su Zhonglang, and the younger son is a subordinate of General Xue Rengui Zhonglang. If Jieli Khan is captured, the army will be able to lead the army? The year is approaching, old man, old man hopes that the two sons will come back for a reunion dinner. "

"what?"

"The old man is blessed. He gave birth to two amazing sons. The Huben Army recruits soldiers very strictly. Not everyone wants to join."

"House of Glory!"

"House of Glory!"

As soon as the old man said a word, it attracted everyone's attention and envious eyes.

The old man took up the burden, with infinite pride, under the eyes of everyone, he disappeared into the crowd, silently, like all military members, silently and silently supported the great empire.

Pedestrians talked a lot, you looked at me, I looked at you, all eyes were full of excited faces.

"Win so soon?" The soldiers defending the city rolled their eyes.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you cheer?" The civilian man waved his arms, raised his voice, and shouted loudly.

One word awakened the dreamer, and everyone roared loudly: "Shuofang great victory! Long live the Tang Dynasty! The mighty Tang Dynasty!"

"Shuofang great victory! Long live the Tang Dynasty! The mighty Tang Dynasty!"

The pedestrians at the city gate waved their arms and cheered heartily under the reminder of the gray-clothed scholar.

Ever since the Tang Dynasty formally dispatched troops, the people of the Tang Dynasty have been looking forward to a victory, a big victory, all the time!

Now, the victory finally came, they all cheered heartily, all burst into tears, and were extremely excited.

Because, the Tang Dynasty hoped to completely defeat this old enemy!

Turks and Jieli have caused too much harm to the Han nation.

Joy spread like hot snow.First it was near Luocheng Gate, and then it was Beicheng District. After a while, all the people in Chang'an were cheering!

"Shuofang great victory! Long live the Tang Dynasty! The mighty Tang Dynasty!"

Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an cheered in unison, and the sound reached the heavens, and the sound was heard hundreds of miles away!
Chang'an is boiling!
Chang'an is completely boiling!

Boiling with victory!

Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin, the emperor of Zhenguan, sat on the throne with a solemn expression on his face, and the majesty of Emperor Mu Mu was so majestic that all the officials dared not look up.

Li Shimin discussed national affairs with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the court hall, and spring plowing was approaching.This large-scale use of troops consumes a lot of food and grass.

Whether the spring plowing is smooth or not directly means whether there will be a good harvest in the coming year.He paid special attention to this, and repeatedly told Secretary of Agriculture to seize the livelihood, actively develop and expand the fields, and gave many preferential policies to encourage the people to produce.

Many good ministers also proposed some policies that benefited the country and the people. Li Shimin thought it was reasonable and followed them one by one. Even if there were objections, he did not rely on subjective judgments.

The whole court presents a peaceful atmosphere.

In front of this group of truly capable ministers, there are almost no problems that cannot be resolved.

Let them overcome all existing problems one by one.

After handling the government affairs, Li Shimin changed the topic to the military and asked about all the deployment.

"Your Majesty, this Turkic conquest is more serious than we imagined, and the consumption of food and grass has far exceeded our expectations! The daily food consumption of more than 15 troops is about 20 shi, and about [-] shi in January. From Chang'an It takes more than [-] days to reach the prairie. During this period, there are more than [-] people in the grain transportation team alone, and they consume about [-] shi. The war has just started, and our army has consumed about [-] shi. In the future, we will continue to transport and transport. The continuous dispatch of food teams will consume more food. According to estimates, if the expeditionary force is invincible for half a year, our Datang will be seriously injured. After that, we will not be able to carry out large-scale battles for three years, otherwise, the treasury will fall into a collapsed situation."

Fang Xuanling stood up with a serious face, and a series of huge numbers came out of his mouth.

The huge number is shocking, and there is a buzzing sound all over the court.

Li Shimin also gradually revealed a look of astonishment.

Fang Xuanling raised this question, not intending to pursue anyone's fault.But to find a way to solve the problem.

There is no shortage of wise and decisive monarchs in the Tang Dynasty, no shortage of famous generals, and no shortage of soldiers who can fight well.

What is the biggest disadvantage of Chutang?Then, everyone will answer one sentence: the population is small, and the economy and agriculture cannot grow.

This is the biggest problem restricting the development of Datang.

"Shuofang great victory, long live the Tang Dynasty, and the mighty Tang Dynasty!" At this moment, there was a deafening cheer!
"Victory! My Great Tang West Route Army has won."

Li Shimin stood up moved and said eagerly: "Hurry up and ask Hongling to send you urgently!" It's not that he hasn't received a battle report of a great victory, but this time is of great significance, especially when Fang Xuanling proposed consumption. more important.This good news came too timely. As a result, all kinds of impetuous and anti-war voices suppressed this urgent report to death.

"Your Majesty! Shuofang Messenger..." A loud voice came from outside the hall!

"Xuan!" Without further ado, Li Shimin cut off what the guard was about to say with the word "Xuan".

"Chen Zhan, the general of the Huben Army, pays homage to Your Majesty! My lords!" A soldier with stubble and hair like grass broke away from the support of the two guards and strode forward, holding up the battle report with both hands.

The chief servant took the battle report in his hand, and Li Shimin asked him to read it out loud in public.

The chief servant gently unfolded the letter paper and read aloud: "On November [-]th, General Huben Qin Feng was ordered by Li Jingzhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, to send [-] troops overnight to the concentration camp of the Turkic West Route Army. In the early morning of the [-]th, at sunrise, the Turkic army was caught off guard by stealing the camp and robbing the village. Our army beheaded more than [-] enemies at a price of [-]. In the early morning of the next day, we broke out of the camp and rushed to Dingxiang to join forces with Li Jing, the general manager. Take down the enemy chieftain in battle, and strive to return to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year before the festival!"

"Stealing camps and robbing villages in broad daylight?"

The officials looked at each other in disbelief, one by one in disbelief, you looked at me, I looked at you, all you saw were confused and unbelievable expressions.

It's unbelievable, even Li Shimin, who knows the army, was confused for a while. He has fought for most of his life, and he has read countless military books, but this is definitely the first time he heard about stealing camps and robbing villages in broad daylight!

"Ridiculous!" A censor stood up and yelled loudly: "How could you steal the camp in broad daylight? As a Turk, do you act at night and sleep during the day? Or do you think that all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court are fools who don't know how to fight?"

Li Shimin frowned and thought, he believed that this battle report was absolutely true, but he couldn't figure out how Qin Feng did such a thing?Could it be that he was poisoned beforehand?Thinking of Qin Feng's amazing medical skills, Li Shimin immediately thought about that.

You must know that people with excellent medical skills are not bad at poisoning, and vice versa.Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows this truth.

"My lord!" Chen Zhan roared angrily, "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean my general can't do it. If you can't think of it, it doesn't mean my general can't think of it!" Suddenly, like a hedgehog whose hair has exploded, he stared at the censor with a pair of vicious eyes. If he was not in the court, he might have shot it with a big kick.

"Tell me, how did you steal the camp!" Li Shimin spoke out at the right time, and also asked what everyone was thinking.

Chen Zhan gave the official a hard look, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tuli's daughter, Ashinayun had inadvertently told the general about a festival, and this festival was the main reason for our victory."

"Is it Sun Salutation?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up!In an instant, I understood the reason for Qin Feng's victory.

Sunrise!
Once the word comes out!
Ministers like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Kong Yingda, Xiao Yu and others who were familiar with the situation of the alien race also suddenly came to their senses.

Li Shimin saw some people whispering and asking each other!Immediately, he smiled happily and said: "Many people think that the first thing Turkic people do when they get up is to grill meat, simmer milk, and then eat and drink, but in fact, this is not the case at all. The first thing Turkic people do when they get up The thing is neither barbecue nor simmering milk, but sun worship. The so-called sun salutation means that after getting up, everyone gathers together and bows to the rising sun, and then sings and laughs and tells each other the dreams of the day. , that is, the plan for the day. At this time, the Turks are the most relaxed. If they choose to send troops at this time, the Turks are definitely lambs to be slaughtered. The Turks are selfish and have no military discipline at all. Facing the sudden big The Tang army, they were absolutely in a mess, and after that, they trampled on each other just to survive." At this point, Li Shimin smiled confidently and asked Chen Zhan, "Is what I said right or not?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Zhan looked at the aloof Li Shimin with reverence, this kind of look made Li Shimin very comfortable, and he smiled and signaled Chen Zhan to continue.

Chen Zhan came back to his senses and said: "Everything is just as His Majesty said. Seeing that the Turks were in chaos, my great general resorted to a second plan!"

Li Shimin smiled knowingly and said, "Are you besieging San Que and letting the Turkic people kill each other, and then send cavalry to chase after you? Are your losses all due to the army that prevented the Turkic people from escaping?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Zhan said respectfully.

"Do you still have any doubts? Also, what can you say?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers fiercely, and said proudly: "This strong man is right! If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. , in the future, I don't want to hear such irresponsible voices."

"Obey!" The officials were convinced!
