One of the nine counties of Yongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, it faces Chang'an across the Wei River.
Xianyang of the Tang Dynasty is not Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty. The county was abolished in the Sui Dynasty, and it was divided into Jingyang County in the early Tang Dynasty. Baoqiao was first built and then moved to Duyou. This was the Duyou Pavilion of the Qin Dynasty, and it was also the place where the famous general Bai Qi was ordered to commit suicide.
At this time, under the flickering firelight, Li Shimin, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, stood excitedly at the top of this small town and looked out at the dark night.
Tonight's raid was very successful.
Qin Qiong, Xie Shufang, Feng Li, Li Mengchang, Gongsun Wuda, Zhang Shigui, Zhou Shaofan and other heroes are more powerful than the last.
"This palm thunder is really amazing." Li Shimin praised Duo. He also threw four palm thunder tonight and killed three Turkic generals.
The excitement of this meeting has not passed. Ever since Hebei pacified Liu Heita, Li Shimin has basically never really commanded the army. Li Yuan was very cautious and did not give him a chance. The next few times he commanded the army, basically
They're all just showing up.
Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Xinye County, also admired the palm thunder. This man's real name was Zhang Huqi. He changed his name to Shigui after he became famous. His hometown is also Hedong. He is half a fellow from Huaiyu. His use of the palm thunder was effective.
I am also very satisfied, "You can't stop once you throw it, it's so exciting!"
"Hahaha!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Xie Shufang also shed tears. He was Yuan Ji's confidant at the time, and the Xuanwu Sect killed Lu Shiheng, but Li Shimin did not kill him, and now he is even more generously rewarded.
At that time, Jieli was just a device. On behalf of Jieli, Kang Sumi went south many times to meet and do business with the Li family and his son, and the two parties had many contacts.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wu Huaiyu stood aside and watched with admiration. Li Shimin's method of winning over people's hearts was indeed powerful. The title he had received from Daling County Male before was the title of the ancestors of the Wu family. This kind of ancestral title was extremely important to everyone.
meaningful.
Excited, Li Shimin called Huaiyu in front of him, "The palm thunder will be of great use tonight. Huaiyu should remember it. Tell me, whatever reward you want, I will grant it tonight."
"You can pick it up if you want. There won't be that store after this village." Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Feng Li, defeated the enemy yesterday and bravely won the three armies. He should be remembered as the first meritorious service. He will be promoted to General Youxiaowei. He will be granted the title of Duke of Jingzhao County. He will be awarded the title of Governor of Guangzhou. He will also be given a hundred gold collars and a thousand pieces of silk!"
Don't waste a moment.
"Everything I said was agreed to, so I naturally agreed to this small request. Besides, the court is now hiring people. Your father, Yuan Cong, is an old brigade commander and has served the country loyally for many years."
The son is above the father.
Li Shimin, who returned to the East Palace, still had some unfinished thoughts.
It is the practice of the Tang Dynasty that officials should serve in their seventies, but those under seventy, with aging appearance and poor health can also serve in advance. If they serve in advance, they will generally be praised and praised. However, if they are older and in poor health, they can still serve in their seventies or eighties.
Those who refuse to retire, occupy positions, and sit in empty seats are often impeached for obstructing others.
Xie Shufang was also highly praised by Li Shimin, who made him the Marquis of Kangle County, awarded him the title of Champion General, and made him the governor of Hongzhou, giving him gold and silk.
Li Shimin snorted. When the Li family first raised their troops, they formed an alliance with the Turks. The Turks also sent Zhi Shi Yan Zhi Shi Wu and his son to lead thousands of horses south for reinforcements. Later, they often sold horses to the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Yuan became emperor, he also granted official positions to Zhi Shiyan and Kang Sumi. Zhi Siyan was granted the title of Shangzhuguo, Jin Ziguanglu, and Kang Sumi was also awarded Yinqing Guanglu.
This achievement is too beautiful.
"Hahaha!"
Lao Wu was awarded the rank of seven-rank official and issued orders, while Wu Huaiyu inspected the young eunuchs of the fifth-rank rank.
This request was unexpected by everyone. They all thought they would ask for money, silk, and land as a reward. Who would have expected that this request would be made.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin directly promoted him to a young prisoner, leaving his original position to Lao Wu.
Kang Sumi, a close friend of Tangtang Jieli, came from Kang State. Tangtang was about to make a fortune, but at this time he was in a very embarrassed state. Although he lost his helmet and armor, he could not escape Qin Qiong's pursuit. He personally knocked him off his horse and captured him.
There was also a wound on his shoulder blade, which was still bleeding.
Li Shimin was also in the mood and directly asked him to ask for a reward.
"Send it to Jieli at dawn!"
At dawn, Qin Qiong rode his horse back to the gate of Xianyang City and threw a man off the horse.
Li Shimin held Qin Qiong's hand and laughed heartily, "Your Majesty holds Chang Gu's powerful bow, and our monarchs and ministers cooperate, and we are invincible. It seems like we have returned to the time when we were conquering the east and west in the early years, so happy!"
Huaiyu was also very excited. He could understand Li Shimin's mood at the moment. Jieli was going too far to bully others. Before Li Shimin was about to ascend the throne, he would poop and urinate on Li Shimin's neck. No one could bear this, especially for a young and promising person like him.
By.
Huaiyu originally wanted to invite samurai to join the Shenji camp, even if he was still a brigade commander, so that Lao Wu could come to the capital to reunite with his family. At present, Miyuan is not at peace. Even at his age, he is still leading the soldiers in the countryside.
It's not safe either.
Qin Qiong did not let down Li Shimin. He was worthy of being the number one general in the Qin Palace.
The warrior Ke Ke was just over sixty years old, and he was also a military attache. He was not too old at this age.
Li Shimin has been enduring these days, and he is probably very depressed. Tonight, the twenty thousand miscreants finally made Li Shimin vent his anger.
The soldiers showed off their martial arts skills and paraded for ten miles.
Li Shimin and Kang Sumi were old acquaintances. However, in the past, Kang Sumi was the representative of Jie Li's confidants and could not help but be somewhat domineering. But now, he has become a prisoner in front of the horse.
The formation killed more than a thousand people, captured at least three thousand prisoners, and captured countless cattle, sheep, and horses.
The title of Marquis of Kangle County is also very important to him. His ancestor is Xie Xuan, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was once granted the title of Duke of Kangle, and was later demoted to the title of County Marquis in the Liu Song Dynasty. Xie Xuan was even awarded the title of Champion General. Li Shimin gave him the title of General
, that is really an incomparable reward for him.
Of course, those who are really capable can still hold high positions even when they are eighty years old. For example, Li Gang in this dynasty is over 80 years old, and he continues to serve as the crown prince Shaobao. There is also Pei Ju, who is also 80 years old and can still serve as prime minister.
Even Kang Sumi, Qilifa, was captured alive, and 20,000 miscellaneous men were killed. During the day, Feng Li, Xie Shufang and others killed more than 700 in a wheel battle. At night, Qin Qiong attacked at night, opened the way with thunder in his palm, defeated the Turkic camp, and chased them for thirty miles.
"Thank you very much, Gu wants to thank you!" Li Shimin stood on Xianyang City, looking to the west under the night, "Jie Li will probably be in a very bad mood tomorrow, and his envoy will no longer be arrogant in front of Gu. I believe
We can have a real talk tomorrow."
The remaining tens of thousands of miscellaneous beasts scattered in all directions and fled in panic.
On Chang'an City Main Street, countless people came out to watch and welcome. When everyone saw such a bloody scene, they were not afraid, but instead were excited and cheering.
Everyone looked at Wu Huaiyu with envy. Jun Wu joked that as long as Wu Huaiyu didn't go too far, the prince would never break his promise.
The title given by Li Shimin was even more powerful, and he was awarded the title of Duke. The title made Feng Li kneel down and cry. His ancestor was the Duke of Jingzhao in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This title has special meaning for his family.
"Remembering our past friendship, I won't kill you today. Someone will come and take him back to Chang'an to be imprisoned."
The loud Baiqi was shouting all the way in front, reporting last night's results. The prince personally killed three enemy generals, and Qin Qiong even captured the enemy alive.
One thousand and eight enemies were killed in one day and night, and more than 3,000 were captured alive. Twenty thousand Turks came to attack Weiqiao's troops, and five thousand were killed. The remaining fifteen thousand fled westward in panic.
Kang Sumi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin.
"Kang Sumi pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Shimin went out of the city and personally welcomed Qin Qiong into the city.
"Kang Sumi, we meet again. We haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" Li Shimin looked down from a high position and laughed loudly at Kang Sumi, who was in great embarrassment.
The Tang Dynasty has long been unbearable for such oppression and bullying by the Turks. Today, His Royal Highness once again tells everyone with his bravery that the Turks should not be feared.
That night, Li Shimin stood at the top of Xianyang City and stayed there all night.
Li Shimin thought for a while, "Recruit your father to sign the order for Shenjifang,"
"Feng Qing fought fiercely all day and night yesterday and suffered more than ten wounds. His loyalty and bravery are commendable. You went to Guangzhou to be the governor, and you can rest in peace and recover from your injuries."
The reason why he retired from office early was to allow his son to succeed him in the Forbidden Army.
"These are all matters within the minister's duty and should be done."
This scene is very cruel and brutal, but also shocking.
"You are the young inspector of the weapons inspection school."
That was pierced by Qin Qiong's blow on the horse.
All the generals wore armor, and they even deliberately did not wipe off the blood on their armor. Li Shimin rode into the city wearing armor.
This battle was fruitful.
Summoning all the generals from last night, Li Shimin immediately began to discuss merits and reward them.
The deposed prince became a close confidant. Yesterday's battle also completely proved his bravery and loyalty. He stormed seven Turkic formations in one day and killed 700 enemies. His bravery was unparalleled.
"Your Highness, I have captured the 20,000 Zahu commanders of the Turkic vanguard, and I will present them to Your Highness as soon as I can make a fortune in Kangsumi."
Huaiyu thought for a while and said: "My father was originally the brigade commander of Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army. Last year, when I was sixty years old, I asked my brother to take over and join the Forbidden Army. My father's leg was injured while fighting for the country in his early years and became a bit disabled, but his body is still very strong.
, I would like to ask the prince to transfer my father to the Shenji camp to help as an assistant..."
The heads of three Turkic generals were stuck on spears and stood at the top of Xianyang City. Li Shimin was very satisfied with the three Turkic heads he had personally beheaded.
In the afternoon, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an.
A night of pursuit.
The soldiers escorted thousands of Turkic prisoners, as well as countless captured horses, armors, weapons, etc., and even more than 1,800 Turkic heads that were chopped off were all carried into the city by the soldiers on spears.
However, what he was a little confused about was that two generals, Feng Li and Xie Shufang, who had just made great achievements, were released. A governor of Guangzhou and a governor of Hongzhou were both in Jiangnan.
What does this mean?
On the day of the Xuanwu Gate, Li Anyan, who along with Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang, and Feng Li stormed the Xuanwu Gate, the brother-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang with Li Jiancheng, fought to the death until he was captured alive by Li Shimin, and he is still alive today.
He also served as the Zhonglang General of Zuotun Guard. He thought he was loyal and brave and put him in charge of Suwei.
Qin Qiong, Zhang Shigui, etc. also received awards, and Huaiyu also received an additional rank, a promotion to an official rank, and a pair of silver bottles. Although he actually did nothing last night, he just followed Li Shimin. Li Shimin personally
Three enemy generals were killed, while Huaiyu only beheaded the second level, and it was still a little Kalami. But after all, he followed the crown prince's victory last night, and the crown prince personally judged his merits and rewarded him. This battle had a lot of gains, and it was of greater significance.
