Cui Xin, a member of the Zhongshu House, was sitting in the corner a little uneasy. He had just heard that the army had entered the palace, and he didn't know whether he would win or lose. His future son-in-law was really capable of tossing people. Before setting off, he swore that he would not win quickly.
, it was necessary to figure it out slowly, but as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, they attacked fiercely.
The war in Jingzhou is now the most concerned topic in the Manchu Dynasty. In the past few days, people have often visited the house, and even went to Zhongshu Province to reminisce with Cui Xin... Well, a small part of it is because of the importance of this war.
, after all, if Handan is defeated, the Turkic troops will be able to march straight in, and the DPRK has even transferred some Hedong troops to Jingzhao.
But most of them are from the East Palace lineage. Some of them are under instigation, and some of them are spontaneous... If Handan can defeat the Turks, it will mean not only the immediate battle, but also the future and the future. The King of Qin will probably never fight again.
There is a possibility of returning to the battlefield.
This is good news for Donggong.
Regarding this, when Cui Xin faced Wei Ting, Zhao Hongzhi, Xu Shimo, Cui Hao and others, he tried hard not to show any strange expressions... Are you still expecting that kid to throw himself into the East Palace, or are you expecting him to remain neutral?
I joined the King of Qin long before I became famous, and I have been completely toying with you in the past few years!
"Guan Guo Gong, Mi Guo Gong."
Yang Gongren and Feng Lun were passing by in a hurry, and suddenly stopped and looked at Cui Xin with a smile. The former said: "Don't worry, it's good news."
Cui Xin breathed a sigh of relief and realized that there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.
After leaving Zhongshu Province, Feng Lun sighed: "The Cui family of Qinghe is really lucky."
"Such an outstanding person." Yang Gongren said with a smile: "If I hadn't been overtaken first, I would have done it."
Feng Lun glanced at this colleague from the former Sui Dynasty. Yang Gongren had already ascended to a high position in the previous Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangdu and left several important ministers to co-manage the government. In addition to the famous ministers Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, and Yang Gongren,
Pei Shiju.
It is indeed a pity. Feng Lun remembered that two years ago, King Qi tried to recruit Li Shan with the daughter of the Hongnong Yang family. Unfortunately, it was a little late. At that time, "The Theory of Love and Lotus" had been published. Although Li Shan and the Cui family had not yet been engaged,
There is no other possibility.
After that, Princess Qi and the Zhu family had a quarrel at Dongshan Temple, which basically cut off the possibility of King Qi's recruitment. After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, King Qi had already lost the possibility of entering the East Palace... Although this possibility was already
Very small.
Without stopping, Feng Lun sighed deeply in his heart. He was already nearly sixty years old and had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to be granted the title of Duke. However, he did not expect to be involved in such a fierce battle for the right to inherit the throne. This was comparable to the previous Sui Dynasty Yang Yong and Yang Guang.
The succession was too brutal.
Feng Lun has been thinking about it in his mind for the past two years. The prince is very kind to his old ministers, and the King of Qin trusts and respects the heroes of this dynasty, but he is also the Sima of the Tiance Mansion. This is messy enough, and in the end, another person has taken advantage of him.
The King of Qi was dragged to death.
"Yang Qing, Feng Qing is here." Li Yuan laughed and waved, with wrinkles and ravines on his smiling face that could no longer be seen, "Huairen defeated the Turks in Jingzhou and beheaded more than 30,000 people!"
Li Yuan almost danced, stood up and said loudly: "After this battle, will Ashina still have the courage?"
Yang Gongren and Feng Lun, who already knew that it was a great victory, could not help but be moved. This was a quite exaggerated figure, because the Hu people relied on fast horses, and even if they were defeated, they would have a great chance of fleeing and scattering, making it difficult for the Tang army to expand their victory.
In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan invaded Hedong, and Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, won a small victory in Fenshui and reported victory to Chang'an with great fanfare. As a result, 500 Turks were killed and 2,000 horses were captured.
Even if Li Shansan defeated the Turks last year and killed Jieli Khan so miserably, he only beheaded more than 10,000 people. In the battle of Jingzhou, 30,000 people were beheaded. This was a figure that shocked the entire court.
"Including the first eight days..." Prince Li Jiancheng was obviously in a good mood and added with a smile: "The Turks' losses in this battle should be 40,000 to 50,000."
Li Shimin looked calm, looked at the battle report in his hand, handed it to Yang Gongren, and then said: "It's a bit surprising."
"Accident?" Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Second brother, you think Huairen is incapable of this?"
The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant, Feng Lun smiled and smoothed things over: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin must have felt that beheading in this battle was very serious. After all, the Turks all have horses, and even if they win, it will be difficult to pursue... But the roads at the borders of Jingzhou and Yuanzhou are narrow, so I guess
The Turks were pursued and caused great chaos, so the King of Handan was able to behead many of them."
After reading it again, Yang Gongren added: "And the losses in this battle were not heavy. Thirty thousand people were beheaded, but the losses were only over a thousand..."
"That's right." Li Shimin nodded and said, "The details of the war are not yet known, but there are only more than a thousand casualties...but I think Huairen will not lie about the military situation."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed and said: "The Turks wanted to retreat and lured the enemy deeper. They set up an ambush in Yuanzhou. Unexpectedly, there was a fierce battle for three moments. When the Turks were about to retreat, Huairen ordered hundreds of warriors to beat drums and personally carry the Chinese army's banner.
They advanced bravely and the Turks were in chaos."
"Set an ambush in Yuanzhou?" Yang Gongren frowned and then said, "There are more than a thousand casualties. I think the King of Handan must have missed the ambush."
"Indeed, Huairen strictly ordered his troops to stop after entering Yuanzhou and not to pursue." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "Erlang, although he is not as good as him, he is not far away."
Li Shimin showed a forced smile and said, "Such a talent is really a reflection of my father's wisdom."
Li Jiancheng added: "However, I heard that Zuo Wuwei general Duan Zhixuan violated orders on the battlefield and insisted on pursuing him. If Feng Li hadn't rescued him, his entire army would have been wiped out."
"Huairen's treatment was fair. Duan Zhixuan captured the Khan flag and performed meritorious service. He violated orders on the battlefield and was dismissed as deputy general manager of the cavalry." Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, who was expressionless, and said, "Er Lang should not be harshly criticized."
Everyone knew that Li Huairen, the king of Handan, had won a great victory in this battle and had once again defeated the Turks. Now that the world was unified, he would be the first choice to lead the war against the Hu people. Li Shimin would never be able to return to the battlefield.
From a certain point of view, Li Shimin's record is better than Li Shan, but from another point of view, Li Shimin has never really faced off against the Turks. In the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin sent troops to Hedong, but he has not yet engaged in battle.
Li Khan withdrew his troops.
Even if Li Shan's skills are high, even if Li Shan keeps it secret, if the critical moment comes, Li Yuan will definitely put Li Shan before Li Shimin.
Li Shimin seemed to be calm. Well, in fact, he was indeed calm. "What my father said was that Huairen's treatment was fair. How can we blame him?"
"On the contrary, Feng Li led the army to rescue. Father should be rewarded."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Last year in Guji Town, Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche joined hands. In this battle, Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li are indistinguishable. Huairen is quite generous."
The following ministers nodded one after another, not to say that Li Shan had done a good job of balancing, not to say that Li Shan had done a good job of making peace, but that under Li Shan, the King of Qin's favorite generals and the prince's confidants could work together to fight the enemy without appearing.
Shi Wanbao, Li Daoxuan and other bad things happened back then.
"Such a great victory, such a great victory!" Li Yuan coughed twice, "How should I reward him?"
At this time, the palace became quiet again. Prince Li Jiancheng, who was inexplicably grateful to Li Shan, didn't know what to say. Chen Shuda, who had a good relationship with Li Shan and had become even closer after the battle at Tiantai Mountain, and Yang Gongren didn't know what to say.
Pei Shiju, who had always been invisible, simply lowered his head and closed his eyes. Li Shimin also closed his eyes as well.
