When the general in charge of the guards saw Zhao Chengyong giving an order, he also followed suit.
The strength of the guards may not be as good as that of King Yong's guards, but when it comes to executing orders, their execution ability is not inferior to that of King Yong's guards. Immediately, like a mouse seeing a cat, they quickly divided into small teams and gathered around the bonfire.
.
Then everyone made a fire together.
When we first started roasting, everyone was not used to the smell of cow dung and horse dung when they burned. But as time went by, everyone gradually got used to it.
Especially when they saw Li Yuanji warming himself by the fire while drinking the wine brought by Zhao Chengyong, everyone gradually began to disbelieve the theory that the smell of burning cow dung and horse dung is poisonous.
When night fell, everyone even let go. Not only did they spread their hands and feet wildly by the fire, but they also jokingly asked their captains and captains if they wanted wine or meat. They said they wanted to cook it, drink it, or grill it.
.
After asking for instructions, the captains and lieutenants agreed to their request and brought them wine and meat for them to cook, drink and roast.
After everyone got the food and wine, they became more open-minded.
Everyone competed in their drinking capacity while grilling meat, and then competed in their grilling skills after the grilled meat was cooked.
By midnight, no one cares about the poisonous smell of cow dung and horse dung anymore. Everyone is drinking happily, everyone is chewing barbecue, and everyone is completely relaxed.
Open it, let your temper dictate.
After Li Shiji looked around at the soldiers dancing in the martial arts field, he walked to Li Yuanji with a smile and said: "It seems that everyone no longer believes that the smell of cow dung and horse dung is poisonous when burned.
.”
Li Yuanji was a little drunk and didn't want to drink anymore. Hearing Li Shiji's words, he took a deep breath and nodded: "That's good... then I can go back."
Li Shiji's smiling eyes narrowed into slits, and he said teasingly: "It seems that His Highness is not used to the smell of burning cow dung and horse dung..."
Li Yuanji gave Li Shiji an unhappy look and said angrily: "Are you adaptable?"
They are all nobles, and they use good things on daily basis. They have long been accustomed to a life surrounded by good things.
If you suddenly use something more down-to-earth, you will definitely not be used to it.
After all, compared with the smelly cow dung and horse dung that can cause psychological discomfort to people, the tasteless silver frost charcoal is obviously better and more acceptable to people.
So if you are used to Yinshuang charcoal, you are definitely not used to cow dung and horse dung.
"Hey hey hey..."
Li Shiji smiled wickedly and did not answer.
Li Yuanji ignored him again, but slowly stood up, took Chu Suiliang, who joined later, and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
When he returned to the Chinese army's tent, Li Shimin was still awake and was holding his nose and reading a book.
Li Yuanji smelled it and discovered that Li Shiji had replaced the silver frost charcoal in the Chinese army's tent with cow dung.
Li Shimin was obviously not used to the smell of burning cow dung, so he hadn't slept yet.
I don't know if he heard Li Yuanji's footsteps entering the tent, or if he sensed someone entering the tent through the changes in the air flow in the tent. When Li Yuanji had just entered the tent and had not yet stood still, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and said: "You
Do you think your current life is too smooth, so you want to make things difficult for yourself?"
Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin was accusing him of replacing silver frost charcoal with cow dung, so he smiled and said: "If second brother is not used to it, you can go to the wounded soldiers camp and use silver frost charcoal with the wounded soldiers."
Hearing that Yin Shuang Tan was being sent to the wounded soldiers, Li Shimin fell silent for a moment.
Although Li Shimin could not be said to love soldiers like his own son, he would not refute the issue of improving the treatment of wounded soldiers.
Because in his eyes, soldiers are not tools, but people who can help him win the battle.
The brilliant achievements he created were all created with the help of each soldier.
Without those soldiers, he would not have been able to win the battle. Whether he could survive on the battlefield was a question.
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Yuanji pointed to the bed in the corner of the tent with a smile and motioned for Chu Suiliang to go to sleep. Then he walked to the soft couch in the middle of the tent, took off his coat, and fell asleep.
After Li Shimin quickly flipped through the book for a while, he didn't know whether he felt it was boring or couldn't change the situation. After snorting softly, he blew out the oil lamp in the tent and fell asleep.
The tent became quiet for a moment, and you could clearly hear the noise coming from the direction of the martial arts field.
A night of silence.
The next day, light snow began to fall in the sky. It was like flying catkins and star sand, covering the sky and earth with a thin layer of fine sand. The weather was getting colder, so everyone in the camp hid under the snow.
I don't want to go out of the tent.
Several riders came from the northwest, and before they reached the camp, they started shouting loudly.
"Great victory in Monan! We killed 10,000 Turks and captured 35,000!"
When the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp heard their shouts, they shouted excitedly too.
Hearing the movement, the soldiers who stretched their heads out of the tents and heard the shouts also cheered.
In an instant, the camp was filled with cheers.
"What are you shouting outside?"
In the Chinese army's tent, Li Shimin heard the movement, turned his head to listen, and frowned in question.
Chu Suiliang had good ears and had heard the shouts outside the tent clearly, but before he could speak, Zhao Chengyong, who was guarding the door of the tent, broke in first and shouted: "Your Highness! Great victory in Monan!"
At this time, Chu Suiliang also raised his hands and said, "This is what I heard."
Li Shimin was silent for a moment.
Li Jing won a little too easily, as if the army led by Jie Li were standing there, waiting for him to pick it up.
According to his opinion, Li Jing would have to wait until next spring at the very least before he could completely conquer Jie Li's 200,000-strong army.
But now it is more than four months too early.
When Li Yuanji heard Zhao Chengyong's report and Chu Suiliang's agreement, he didn't have much trouble in his heart. He didn't blame Zhao Chengyong for breaking into the tent without going through the report. Instead, he slowly put down his pen and calmly
Asked: "How many will be killed and how many will be captured? Can Jie Li be captured?"
Zhao Chengyong took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Back to Your Highness, I heard that ten thousand people were killed and thirty-five thousand prisoners captured. But I didn't hear whether Jie Li was captured or not."
Li Yuanji nodded slowly and said: "The formation killed 10,000 people and captured 35,000 people. It is indeed a great victory!"
Although this amount of gains did not reach a quarter of Jieli's total troops, don't forget that the troops who conquered Jieli were not only Li Jing, but also the Ashina Simo tribe, the Adi tribe, and the Yi tribe.
The Xue Yantuo tribe was led by Nan, and the Uihe tribe was led by Huang Tou.
It can be said that there are three forces, five armies and horses, jointly conquering Jieli.
What we are talking about so far is only Li Jingbu’s gains.
The gains of the Ashinasmo Tribe, Adi Tribe, Xueyantuo Tribe, and Huihe Tribe have not yet been calculated.
When the statistics come out, more gains will be made.
Based on the number of soldiers and horses under Jieli's command, the maximum number should be quadrupled.
However, although Jie Li is not very good, Ashina Sheer is indeed a capable person, and there is a great possibility that he will escape from the encirclement set up by Li Jing and others after his defeat.
So the possibility of quadrupling is unlikely.
Three times should be the limit.
"Hurry and welcome the soldiers who have reported victory into the big tent, and invite Li Shiji and others to come and listen."
Li Yuanji gave instructions to Zhao Chengyong.
Zhao Chengyong responded with a bright smile and exited the Chinese army tent.
Not long after, after receiving the notice, Li Shiji and other generals in the camp gathered at the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after they arrived, Zhao Chengyong personally led the soldiers reporting the victory into the tent.
There were four soldiers who reported victory, and none of them looked good.
The one who was in the worst condition still had yellow pus flowing from his ear, which was the pus that came out after the frostbite burst.
But even so, he still had a bright smile on his face, and he looked very energetic.
This is the feeling that the great victory brings to him.
Li Shiji and other generals who had heard the sound of the victory also had bright smiles on their faces.
Although they did not personally experience the war in Monan, and the credit of Li Jing and a group of soldiers far away in Monan could not be shared with them, they were still happy.
I am happy for Li Jing and the soldiers led by Li Jing, and also happy for Datang.
"Under the humble post of General Manager of the Dingxiang Road Marching Army, Ma Fuxing, who belongs to Team A in front of the account, is meeting His Highness King Yong!"
After entering the big tent, the leading soldier who reported the victory took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and saluted.
No one needed to talk to him. After he finished saluting, he said excitedly: "Seven days ago, our troops defeated the Ashid tribe and the Ashina tribe under the command of Turk Jieli Khan in Monan. We killed 10,000 enemy soldiers and captured them.
Thirty-five thousand enemy soldiers are here to report victory to Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji nodded, smiled and praised: "Okay, you really lived up to my expectations!"
The soldiers who reported victory raised their heads with joy.
Li Yuanji then smiled and said: "I will ask the army commander to verify your merits. When you lead the army back to the camp, I will personally award you with rewards. When our squadron returns to the court, I will give you promotions and titles!"
The soldiers who reported the victory were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji nodded again and asked the question that he and others in the tent were most concerned about, "How are the gains of other ministries? Can Jieli be captured?"
When Li Shimin, Li Shiji and others heard this, they all pricked up their ears.
When the soldiers reporting the victory heard this, they grinned almost to the base of their ears.
Li Yuanji was completely happy when he saw this.
Although the soldier who reported the victory had not spoken yet, he already knew the result.
The soldiers who reported the victory were beaming with joy and said loudly and happily: "The king of Ashina County and the general manager Axijie killed more than 6,000 enemy soldiers and captured more than 50,000 soldiers. The Yinan chieftain and the Huangtou chieftain killed four enemy soldiers.
There were more than 10,000 people, and more than 3,000 were captured.
On his way to the Western Turks, Jieli was caught by our deputy general manager and captured alive!"
