Chapter 78
The war here is over, and when Li Ji, who was in Yanmen, got this battle report, he was speechless for a long time.What kind of person is this, the Turkic soldiers who are so ferocious in the eyes of others have become embellishments on military medals.

From Xiazhou to Hexi, from Hexi to Mobei, there will be a decisive battle in Binzhou.Less wins more every time.With simple tactics, defeated these mighty enemies.Turning decay into magic may be like this. Putting politics aside, war is crude, and his purpose is always to defeat the opponent.

However, the miracle created by Long Feiyu made it difficult for Li Ji, a steady general, to accept.Long Feiyu emptied Hexi, and changed the Turks who attacked from Hexi to Yanmen. Now that he has arrived at Yanmen, the Turks in Hexi have no courage to go. If Long Feiyu empties Yanmen now, Then the next target of the Turks must have become Youzhou.However, as long as Wuyuan can garrison troops, the Turkic people will have no place to stand in Monan, and their camp will face the attack of the Tang army at any time, and retreating to Mobei is their only choice.

Not to mention Li Ji's surprise, Chang'an City knocked on the gate of Chang'an.The messenger quickly entered the palace. Li Shimin was in the early court at this time, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door: "Wuyuan War Report."

Hearing the battle report, Li Shimin's heart suddenly rose.And some people in the court began to cheer secretly, hoping that Long Fei would die in Wuyuan.

Li Shimin hurriedly shouted: "Xuan."

As soon as the messenger ran into the hall, he said loudly: "Wuyuan Great Victory."

"Great victory? What great victory?"

The messenger hurriedly knelt down and said, "General Long, the general manager of Shuofang, arrived in Wuyuan two days ago, set up an ambush outside the city of Wuyuan, and wiped out the Turkic army in Monan Dadu in one fell swoop. There are more than [-] people in total, and countless cattle and sheep have been seized. .”

As soon as the messenger's voice fell, someone stood up and criticized: "Your Majesty, this Long Feiyu has just arrived in Wuyuan and provoked trouble for no reason, and clashed with the Turkic people. This is extremely detrimental to the Tang Dynasty who is in urgent need of recuperation. Your Majesty, please rule by law." his sin."

Hearing the minister's words, someone looked at him sympathetically, no matter what Long Feiyu was, with so many killings, it was to strengthen the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and tried his best to reduce Li Shimin's treasury and rebuke Tui Jieli .He has made great contributions to winning the love of the people for Li Shimin, but unfortunately this minister does not understand Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin ignored his words, but looked directly at the messenger and asked, "How about the casualties?"

"The soldiers brought by General Long suffered hundreds of casualties, while General Liu, the prefect of Wuyuan, had less than 2000 of the original [-] troops."

"Oh, why is the disparity so large?"

"The Turks besieged Wuyuan a month ago, and all the messengers who came to ask for help were killed. More than 4000 people under General Liu and the 5000 Turkic army spent more than a month. The Turkic soldiers who attacked the city were beheaded. More than [-] people, on the day when General Long felt Wuyuan, tens of thousands of Turkic troops rushed to the city wall of Wuyuan, fortunately General Long swept the Turkic camp and forced them to return to help, and they were able to escape.”

After the messenger finished speaking, the face of the minister who stood up and accused him just now turned green.This was obviously provoked by the wolfish ambitions of the Turkic people. Long Feiyu and the others were on active defense. This time he fell into a big fall.

Sure enough, Li Shimin glanced at the minister, and said indifferently: "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, from today on you can go back to take care of yourself, I don't want to see you anymore."

"Your Majesty, I'm still young, and I don't know the age to retire. Please take it back, Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites said almost subconsciously.

Li Shimin snorted dissatisfiedly and said: "You have repeatedly spoken nonsense in the court, I think you have served the Supreme Emperor for many years and couldn't bear to convict you, and you still haven't stepped down."

Although the servant of the Ministry of Rites was helpless, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly retreated.Watching him leave, Li Shimin said intentionally or unintentionally: "There is a shortage of the position of Minister of Rites, do you think there is anyone else in the court who can take up this position?"

Although the minister of the Ministry of Rites is in the court, his rights are limited.But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. The ministers excitedly reported the names of the people they thought about.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and finally turned his soliciting gaze to Fang Xuanling. After a little thought, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, I think Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant Long Liang is suitable."

Speaking of Long Liang, someone shook his head and said: "No, this person is the remnant of the former prince, how can he be allowed to enter the court, have you forgotten Luo Yi's lesson?"

Hearing some objections, Wei Zheng was also dissatisfied and said: "What do you mean by these words, my lords? Long Liang has been following the Supreme Emperor since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and he also paid attention to the Supreme Emperor when he assisted the former crown prince. Do you think that the Supreme Emperor is plotting something wrong? No?"

Hearing the Supreme Emperor, these ministers naturally dare not speak up, they can be regarded as the old ministers left by the Supreme Emperor.If he openly opposed the Supreme Emperor, it would undoubtedly be slapping himself in the face.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Changsun Wuji said in a timely manner: "Since it was the Supreme Emperor's attention, there is nothing wrong with this matter. Long Liang is also carrying out the will. Since there is no fault, he is still the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty." , as a servant of the Ministry of Rites is still more than enough, what do you think?"

No matter what people in the middle and upper levels of the DPRK think, those officials with lower positions agree with each other.Long Liang is rarely old Chang'an, but Chang'an is not far from Xiazhou. These low-ranking officials have many contacts with Long Liang, so I am looking forward to him being able to climb to the high position of Minister of Rites, not to mention that he has a powerful The son who shakes the world, soaring to the sky is just around the corner. Now that he has been wooed, it will not be difficult for him to rise to the top in the future.

It didn't take long for the debate to come to a conclusion.Seeing the result, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do it according to Fang Aiqing's opinion, and restore Long Liang's title of duke of the county, San Bao go to announce the decree."

"Yes"

Seeing his brother-in-law reinstatement, Sanbao was naturally happy, and hurriedly took the imperial decree to declare it.

At the same time, the news of Wuyuan's Great Victory spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant. Along with the spread of these five words, Long Feiyu, a rising star who followed Tang Taizong's rise, was surrounded by cheering crowds.

Long Liang woke up early in the morning and heard the cheers in the city. He looked at Feifei who was walking towards him in surprise, and said, "Feifei, why is it so noisy this early in the morning?"

Feifei shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know either. It is said that this place is relatively remote, and even if there is any sound, it can't come here. Maybe it's a juggling troupe performing on the street."

As soon as Feifei finished speaking, she saw Ah Fu and Ah Shou rushing into the mansion excitedly, and shouted after entering the door: "Master, master."

Hearing the shouts of the two, Long Liang said slightly angrily: "How decent is it to shout to the sky and the earth so early in the morning."

Ah Fu calmed down, and said excitedly: "Master, you don't know yet, do you? The young master won the battle in Wuyuan and wiped out more than 2 Turkic troops. Now the entire Chang'an city is cheering."

"What is more than 2 people? Yu'er has only 1 troops, how can he withstand the 2 Turkic army." Thinking of this, Long Liang felt dizzy and worried for Long Feiyu.

Suddenly Sanbao's voice came from outside the house: "Long Liang accepts the order."

Hearing the order, Long Liang's expression suddenly changed, his whole face turned pale, and he stared nervously at San Bao who came in from the door.A group of people knelt down to Sanbao.

Sanbao cleared his throat and arrived: "Your Majesty has a decree. The former Xiazhou prefect Long Liang is the emperor's minister from the dragon. He has always been loyal to our Tang Dynasty. In Xiazhou, he knew people well and was diligent in political affairs. It was well received. Long Liang was promoted to be the Minister of Rites and restored to his rank."

Hearing that Sanbao had finished announcing the decree, Long Liang stood up in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Brother San, is something wrong with Yu'er?"

Sanbao shook his head in doubt and said, "No, who did you listen to?"

"If nothing happened to him, how could His Majesty restore my title and promote me? Didn't he use this to comfort me?"

Seeing what Long Liang said with seriousness, San Bao laughed and said: "It seems that you still don't understand people's hearts. This world has always been more icing on the cake than giving charcoal in the snow. If something happens to Feiyu, few people will take care of you, Long Liang. As the saying goes, the father respects the son in the first 30 years, and the son respects the father in the next 30 years. If Feiyu hadn’t won the battle in Wuyuan, do you think you could be the servant of the Ministry of Rites? Being an official in the court would either be appreciated by the emperor, or You have nothing with your own power, if something happens to Feiyu and they don't make trouble, it will be fine."

"But even if Yu'er wins the battle, how can I get the position of Minister of Rites?"

"You don't understand this. Although your son is young, he is very close to the famous people in front of His Majesty. He is a friend of Cheng Zhijie who has forgotten years, and he has the kindness of saving his son with King Hejian. You Yu Chigong has done a good job. You have given your Majesty the crown prince a life-saving grace, and all kinds of things have helped you to the position of Minister of Rites. But you father and son don't understand the flexibility of political affairs in the court. What will happen in the future? Try your best not to intervene in this matter, lest you fall into the trap and affect Feiyu, it would be bad."

Hearing that Long Feiyu was fine, Long Liang was relieved, and he nodded hurriedly when he heard Sanbao's instructions: "Don't worry three, my biggest skill is not what I can do, but knowing what I can't do, I just need to worry about Chaozhong. I will not say more about the rest."

Sanbao nodded and said, "That's good, I'm afraid you might say something wrong, and you'll be in trouble then."

Long Feiyu won the battle, and Long Liang was promoted to an official position. This can be described as double happiness. Long Liang generously said: "Ah Fu, go out and buy some meat, let's celebrate and celebrate."

Ah Fu responded happily and went away happily. Long Liang looked at San Bao and said, "Third Brother, the fine wine brought back by that kid Fei Yu is ready, stay in the mansion for a while and have a glass of wine before you go."

San Bao hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, your majesty still needs someone to serve me. I'll go back quickly. The future will be long. I'll come when Feiyu and Feifei get married."

Speaking of the big wedding, Feifei looked embarrassed and blushed quickly. She had a relationship with Long Feiyu before she came out of the cabinet. How embarrassing.
