Man Tang Hong Text Volume Chapter 0969 Li Jing Returns to the Camp Latest Website: Time is like the white clouds in the sky, changing positions unconsciously.
When the third trumpet sounded, a black spot appeared on the northwest horizon.
The black dots looked like arrows at first, plowing a path through the dense herd of cattle, sheep and horses, and then evolved into long knives, slashing wildly among the herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and then turned into long belts.
, completely dividing the herd of cattle, sheep and horses into two halves in the middle.
When the people on the hillock could clearly see the human form in the long belt, the people in the long belt were already less than three miles away from the hillock.
Li Shiji immediately sent out the military officers and horses from the army, as well as the soldiers from various Cao Cao, down the hill and headed towards the leader.
They were not there to greet Li Jing, but to help Li Jing count the harvest and gather the team.
For example, the cattle, sheep and horses brought back by Li Jing could not be brought to the Chinese army camp in one go. They had to be registered and evacuated on the spot.
For example, the people of the Geshu tribe brought back by Li Jing could not all be brought to the Chinese army camp. They had to be registered and resettled nearby.
Only some unique cattle, sheep and horses, or nobles from the Geshu tribe, are qualified to follow Li Jing back to the Chinese army camp.
After the military commanders and the various Cao soldiers came into contact with Li Jing's team, the long belt under the hill that ran for five or six miles and still had no end in sight split.
Some of them went westward to other places under the guidance of Army Sima and Cao Caojun. The cattle, sheep and horses that were about to join the cattle, sheep and horses on both sides gradually began to break into pieces and disappeared among the densely packed cattle.
Among the sheep and horses.
Less than five thousand people arrived at the foot of the hill under the leadership of Li Jing.
After Li Yuanji inspected the troops led by Li Jing and confirmed that the troops were in good order, he led Li Shiji and his party down the hill.
The reason for doing this is not to show off one's majesty, nor to find a sense of presence on the soldiers, but for safety reasons.
The more chaotic the team, the more likely it is that security issues will arise.
Although he didn't care, he wasn't afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and kill him, but Li Shiji and Li Jing couldn't help but care.
If something like an assassination really happened, even if he didn't suffer any injuries, Li Shiji and Li Jing would still be to blame.
Even if he didn't pursue the case, Li Yuan would be thousands of miles away and hold Li Shiji and Li Jing responsible for the unfavorable actions of the guards.
So he didn't care, but Li Shiji and Li Jing had to take on the responsibility of protecting him.
After getting off the hill, Li Jing hurried forward with a middle-aged Turk who had tidied up fairly well.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing, has come to see His Highness King Yong. I apologize that I am wearing armor and cannot perform my courtesy properly!"
"Brother Shu Han, the foreign minister, visited His Highness King Yong, and so did I!"
Both of them wore armor, but Li Jing wore a higher-end full set of armor, while Ge Shuhan's was lower-level, with only a helmet, breastplate, arm armor, skirt, no shoulder armor, and no knees.
Armor, and there is no chain armor connecting the joints.
So it makes sense for Li Jing to say that he can't do the full ceremony, but obviously it doesn't make sense for Ge Shuhan.
They were already dismounted, not on horseback, so whether they wanted to salute or not all depended on the integrity of their armor.
The higher the integrity of the armor, the more difficult it will be to perform the full salute, so it is understandable that the full salute cannot be performed.
However, the integrity of the armor is not high, and there is no chain armor connecting the joints, so it can be done easily whether it is a half salute or a full salute, so it is difficult to understand that it cannot be a full salute.
But considering that Ge Shuhan is a Turk, has never been to the Tang Dynasty before, and has not been trained by officials of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, it is reasonable that he does not understand some of the rules of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to follow
He cares.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, stepped forward and patted Li Jing's armor and said: "Li Aiqing traveled thousands of miles this time, raided Jieli's base camp, and succeeded in one battle, which completely opened up the situation for our Tang Dynasty to conquer the Turks.
It can be said that my hard work has allowed me, Datang, to achieve the current results."
Li Jing clasped his fists and said humbly: "It's all down to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. I dare not take the credit!"
Li Jing and Hou Junji are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to asking for credit and expressing credit for themselves.
Hou Junji wished that all the meritorious deeds of all the soldiers under his command should be attributed to himself, and when asking for merit and expressing merit, he would always praise himself and seek benefits for himself, completely ignoring the soldiers.
Li Jing was different. When asking for and expressing merit, he did not mention himself at all, nor did he take all the credit on himself, nor did he ask for any benefits for himself. Instead, he kept giving credit to the soldiers.
push.
If anyone wanted to say who the soldiers liked, it was undoubtedly Li Jing.
From a moral point of view, who is nobler is undoubtedly Li Jing.
But from the perspective of a person in power, Hou Junji is even more likable.
Because what he wants can be seen through by those in power at a glance, but what Li Jing wants cannot be seen through by those in power.
For those in power, those with desires are the best to control and use. People without desires are not only difficult to control and use, but also need to be on guard.
Because according to secular principles, there are only two types of people who have no desires, one is the hermit who has no desires and the other is the careerist who has great ambitions.
The former naturally does not need any further explanation, but for the latter, the reason why they have no desire is not that they really have no desire, but that their desires have broken away from low-level interests and have begun to pursue higher things. Low-level things cannot arouse their interest.
.
So from a personal perspective, Li Yuanji admired Li Jing's noble approach, but from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji did not appreciate Li Jing's noble approach.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Li Ai'an is joking, your contribution to the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all. As for the contribution of the soldiers, I will not forget it either."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji smiled and said to Li Shiji beside him, "Come here and give wine to our heroes!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shiji responded with a smile and immediately ordered someone to bring the drinks that had been prepared.
Not only Li Jing, but also Li Jing's Buqu and Three Thousand Mysterious Armors. Among the Turkic nobles, only Ge Shuhan was given a cup, and everyone else had to step aside.
As a prisoner of war, without a unique identity, you must have the consciousness of a prisoner of war.
After Li Jing and all the soldiers had wine in their hands, Li Yuanji took the wine cup from Li Shiji, raised it high above his head, and shouted: "Everyone, let's drink together!"
Li Jing and a group of soldiers raised the wine bowl or wine bag above their heads and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine!"
Li Yuanji picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Li Jing and his soldiers also drank the wine in their hands.
Li Shiji immediately led his people forward to refill the wine. After the wine cup, wine bowl, and wine bag were filled with wine again, Li Yuanji once again raised the wine cup above his head and shouted: "Welcome all the nobles to triumph!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Jing and his soldiers shouted in unison.
Li Yuanji picked up the wine cup again and drank it all in one gulp. When Li Shiji came forward to fill the wine again, he raised it high above his head and said, "Congratulations to me for the victory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"
All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison again with high morale.
Li Yuanji led all the soldiers to drink all the wine in their hands, and said loudly: "After returning to the camp, after three days of celebration, there will be enough wine and meat. Each person will be rewarded with three horses, five cattle, five sheep, and ten coins."
Ten thousand.
After the Daqing Festival, I will reward you for your merits and be promoted to a higher rank!"
The morale of the soldiers suddenly became higher, and they all screamed.
This is the benefit of giving rewards.
It can arouse the enthusiasm of soldiers all at once, and it can also win over people's hearts.
If the reward were more, they would not hesitate to take them on a long journey to Yinshan Mountain to fight.
"Go back to camp!"
Li Yuanji waved his hand and rushed towards the Chinese army camp with the roaring soldiers.
When we rushed back to the Chinese army camp, it was already evening.
Hou Junji had already ordered people to prepare wine and meat, and brought all the soldiers in the camp to greet him at the gate of the camp.
After Li Yuanji praised Hou Junji for a few words, he led the soldiers to celebrate.
It’s not just a rhetorical statement, but it’s really about taking care of enough food and wine.
Especially meat, you can eat as much as you want.
Even the soldiers in the camp also took advantage of it.
One by one, they held wine bags, beef and mutton, ate hazelnuts, and celebrated together with the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army.
The same was true in the Chinese army's tent. Just like the day before, just like yesterday, there was another chaotic dance of demons.
This scene lasted for three days.
During these three days, no one talked about business. Everyone was frantically venting their excitement after the victory. Even if Li Jing came to the door several times and wanted to talk about business, Li Yuanji refused.
After three days, when everyone had completely vented their anger and celebrated enough, Li Yuanji summoned Li Jing to the Chinese army's tent to discuss official matters.
After Li Jing arrived and sat down in the Chinese army's tent, he said all the words he had been holding in his heart for the past three days in one breath, "Your Highness, I think that now is not the time for us to slack off. We must conquer Jie Li's command as soon as possible."
The entire Turkic territory is protected from the ups and downs of Jieli.
Although Jieli was nowhere to be found after being attacked in the Yinshan Mountains and lost all support, he was still recognized as the Great Khan by all Turkic tribes.
Before he is deprived of his position as Great Khan, he may rise and fall anytime and anywhere.
On the way back, I heard that Ashina Sher, who had lost his tribe in Suni, had led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses of Suni's tribe to break away from Suni's tribe. I guessed that he might have gone to join Jieli.
Jie Li's eldest son, Yu Gu, had previously been ordered by Jie Li to lead a hundred thousand troops to conquer Yi Nan and Huang Tou.
If Jieli contacts these two people and gathers their troops together, it will be a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, we must seize the entire Turkic territory occupied by Jieli before Jieli can contact them, and arrange troops on the border so that Jieli has no chance of rising again."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "With the speed we are marching at now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this matter in a short time."
Although the Tang Dynasty fought successively in the process of conquering the Turks, destroying this Turk tribe one day and that tribe tomorrow, and also occupied many places in the Turks.
But these tribes, and even places, were close to the Tang Dynasty, and they were also the easiest to reach from the Tang Dynasty.
For example, the Tang Dynasty has not yet touched places farther away, such as Adui, Monan, and Mobei.
As for the Adui tribe, as well as other tribes entrenched in Monan and Mobei, although they occupy a small area, they are not weak in strength.
Although Datang had enough troops and strength to capture them, it would take several months just to travel through these places.
