At Yangguan Pass, Zheng Rentai, who had been preparing for the Tibetan attack, was surprised to find that the noisy Tibetans at the pass had actually retreated.

Looking further into the distance, he saw billowing smoke and dust moving towards the rear. This made Zheng Rentai a little confused as to what the Tibetan people were up to.

That's not how lust works. The Tubo people have an army of 50,000. If he wants to break the pass, with his ability and Yangguan's preparation, he can hold on for at most three days. After three days, no matter how powerful he is, he will be afraid

I can't hold Yang Pass either.

If there were no reinforcements, I'm afraid the Tibetans would really have to step over my body!

One day later, Zheng Rentai sent someone to investigate the Tibetan camp, but was surprised to find that the camp was deserted and there was not even a ghost in the entire camp.

When the news reached Zheng Rentai's ears, he was still a little unbelievable.

The Tubo people just left? No more fighting?

To be granted the title of Duke, Zheng Rentai was no ordinary person. He immediately thought that there must be a reason for this, and this reason was probably related to the Northern Expedition to the Turks.

Sure enough, one day later, the news reached him. It was a battle report, telling that the Tang army defeated the Turks and captured the Turkic royal city.

Seeing this battle report, Zheng Rentai finally knew why the Tibetans withdrew their troops.

Even the Turks were defeated, so why bother? If the Turks defeated the Tang Dynasty, they would be free to take care of them. What's the use of conquering Yangguan?

It would be better to retreat early and conserve your strength!

This made Zheng Rentai feel relieved and very excited at the same time.

As a Tang person, no one hates the Turks. This is a hatred that is ingrained in our bones and a feud!

Being able to exterminate the Turks is something worth celebrating for every Tang person.

Chang'an, after the news spread, people all over Chang'an came out to cheer and celebrate. The whole Chang'an was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, just like the New Year.

What was different from the joy of the people in Chang'an was that Li Shimin searched for the palace and the royal study room with a gloomy face for several days. The Langya County governor disappeared without a trace, and Langya County was not recovered. The news he received

Yes, if the Japanese and Goguryeo people demand that they be allowed to leave safely, they will abandon Langya County and return Langya County to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, they will drag the entire Langya County people to be buried with them!

When Li Shimin had been threatened like this, he naturally refused to agree. But if he didn't agree, the entire people of Langya County would be killed. This was not an order he could give, even if he was the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Such a reputation would be punished by others.

I will despise him for the rest of my life and will call him a tyrant who doesn't care about the life or death of his people.

How could Li Shimin bear such responsibility? This matter put him in a dilemma!

Alas, if only that guy Luo Zhang was here, he would definitely give me a satisfactory answer!

Li Shimin looked at the memorial on the case and couldn't help but think of Luo Zhang.

At this moment, Eunuch Huang's voice came from outside the imperial study room door.

"Your Majesty, we have caught it! The Turkic King has caught it!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked hurriedly at Eunuch Huang who rushed into the imperial study.

"What caught?"

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, the Turkic king has been captured alive!" Eunuch Huang beamed and placed a memorial on Li Shimin's desk.

Li Shimin hurriedly opened the memorial and looked at it carefully.

The memorial was naturally written by Li Jing. It elaborated on how Luo Zhang and others traveled hundreds of miles to pursue the Turkic king, how they wiped out the largest tribe in the northern Turks, and the subsequent divide and rule strategy proposed by Luo Zhang to allow the Turks to fight.

Things like raising horses, cattle and sheep in the Tang Dynasty.

Focusing on Luo Zhang’s capture of the Turkic King alive!

"Hahaha, okay, what a Luo Zhang, he is really my Qilin!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for having such a virtuous disciple. This is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!" Eunuch Huang took advantage of the situation and praised Luo Zhang.

For Luo Zhang, Eunuch Huang was also very happy. He felt very comfortable because Luo Zhang did not treat him as a eunuch. In addition, even if Luo Zhang became a marquis, he still respected him.

, which made him look at him in a different light!

As long as there is a chance, he will say something nice to Luo Zhang and help Luo Zhang!

This is the so-called "flowery and charming girl" who promotes others!

"Yes, the Northern Expedition could be successful, but it would be impossible without Luo Zhang!" Li Shimin said with emotion, recalling the previous scenes.

If it weren't for Luo Zhang, the problem of grain and grass would not have been solved in the first place. The potatoes contributed by Luo Zhang have now been planted in many places in the Guanzhong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, and a lot has been harvested. The yield per mu is more than 3,000 kilograms.

, this is a shocking figure, how many people have to be fed, and with this contribution, it is not too much to give Luo Zhang a prince.

Not to mention Luo Zhang's achievements in making sleds, transforming sea ships, and establishing the Royal Navy.

Nowadays, even in the north, he has great military exploits, even a county prince is inferior. If Luo Zhang were not young and a county prince was qualified, no one would gossip!

"This is the best news I have heard today. Tell the imperial kitchen that I want to have a meal!"

"By the way, bring me a bottle of that 1982 Lafite, I want a drink!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Huang said with a happy smile. In the past two days, because of the incident in Langya County, Your Majesty has not been eating well and has lost weight. He has tried many methods, but to no avail! This is a heart disease, and heart disease needs more treatment.

Heart medicine doctor!

No, when the news came from the north, His Majesty's mood immediately improved. He even told him that he wanted to eat and also drink. This is a good thing!

As a father-in-law, he naturally attaches great importance to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is his backer. Without Your Majesty, he is nothing!

In the north, after defeating most of the Turks and capturing the Turk king, Luo Zhang and the others escorted the Turk king's troops back to the city.

After the previous discussion, Hou Junji was left behind and led 10,000 troops to temporarily station at Suni Shibu, guarding these people and urging these Turkic people to work in exchange for their food!

For they did not have to leave their hometown and be escorted to the Tang Dynasty, the people who lost their troops in Suni were very grateful to the Tang army. When they heard that as long as they worked, they would have food, they naturally agreed.

Rather than going to work as slaves in the Tang Dynasty, they prefer to stay in the north and do the work of raising horses, cattle and sheep that they are good at. But they have heard that if they go to the Tang Dynasty to become slaves, life will be worse than death!

So no matter what Tang Jun asked them to do, they had no complaints. This was an unexpected surprise that no one expected!

This incident was also one of the reasons why Li Shimin was overjoyed. In this way, he didn't even have to worry about the Turks. There were still so many war horses in the Tang Dynasty every year. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
