I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 212 Seven Imperial Edicts

Countless people looked at the soldiers of the bandit army who were gradually approaching from behind, and used their loudest voices and most sincere feelings to welcome the return of their heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

Hear the sound.

All the soldiers of the Dangkou army also became serious. They tried to straighten their bodies and looked at the people in front of the city, their fellow tribesmen, with a kind of sincerity.

into the city.

Li Ke has been waiting for a long time.

"General Lee."

"Welcome to your triumphant return."

Li Ke also said solemnly to Li Zheng.

Welcome the general on his triumphant return.

Ding Yu, Su Dingfang.

There were also the border troops in the city, all of whom knelt on one knee and shouted.

Relative to the sincerity of the people.

The soldiers in the city showed awe and admiration for Li Zheng.

Looking at the border soldiers who greeted him around.

Li Zheng also clasped his fists solemnly and returned the gift very seriously.

"go!"

"I have prepared a feast for you."

"Just in the border town." Li Ke smiled.

"His Royal Highness King Wu."

"The soldiers outside also want to make arrangements for there are 70,000 to 80,000 slaves."

Li Zheng said quickly.

"Where did so many come from?"

"Aren't most of the slaves in the third department escorted back?"

Li Ke asked curiously.

"A small tribe in the north sheltered three remnants. I simply killed them in one fell swoop. This will create so many more slaves."

Li Zheng smiled.

"Ding Yu."

"Send someone to make arrangements."

Li Ke immediately ordered Ding Yu.

"As ordered."

Ding Yu clenched his fists and accepted the order happily.

Then, under the escort of all the personal guards, he headed towards the Border City Mansion.

Border town, General's Mansion.

The banquet has been prepared.

And not only in the general's palace, but also in the military camp in the border city, a banquet has been prepared to reward the returning soldiers of the bandit army.

Enough wine and meat.

After all, the Dang bandits captured the three tribes of Xue Yantuo and captured not only the population, but also cattle, sheep, and countless poultry of all kinds.

Naturally, these will not be transported away at great cost, and part of them will naturally be used as rewards.

"It's still a few hours before noon, and you haven't had a good meal in the north these past few months."

"This time I'll definitely keep you entertained."

Li Ke patted Li Zheng and said with a smile.

"There is no need to hold a banquet in the mansion, let's have it in the military camp."

"Now that I have returned victoriously, I still want to celebrate with my brothers."

Li Zheng suggested.

"Alright."

Li Ke thought for a while, nodded, and then said to the attendants beside him: "There is no need to hold a banquet in the mansion, everything will be moved to the military camp."

"Subordinates take orders."

The attendants respectfully took orders.

"All right."

"Now that the trivial matters have been arranged, I have to settle the score with you."

Li Ke suddenly had a straight face and looked at Li Zheng seriously.

"What's the deal?"

Li Zheng looked confused.

Li Ke was too lazy to say anything, turned around and walked to the table in the hall.

Just take out a bunch of imperial edicts,

"Do you know how many imperial edicts I received after you entered the northern border?" Li Ke said with a half-smile.

Li Zheng nodded, his eyes falling on a pile of imperial edicts in Li Ke's hand: "I know."

"This is the first imperial edict given to you by my father three months ago."

"This is the second imperial edict given to you by my father two months ago."

"This is the third imperial edict given to you by my father two months ago..."

……

"This was a month ago..."

"You still know?"

Li Ke walked up to Li Zheng and handed an imperial edict to Li Zheng.

Count them carefully.

There are a total of seven imperial edicts.

The first one was obtained by Li Zheng when he successfully defeated the Yantuo tribe. After that, he would receive an imperial edict almost every ten days.

A total of seven seals.

"Uh?"

Li Zheng was stunned when he saw the seven imperial edicts suddenly thrust into his hand.

Didn’t he just continue to pursue it for more than three months? Is it that serious?

Li Zheng opened the letter casually: "Li Zheng is ordered to immediately withdraw his troops from the northern border and return to Youzhou to recuperate. There is no need to pursue the remnants of the alien race. After returning to Youzhou to recuperate for a month, he will immediately return to Chang'an to report on his duties."

The attitude in this letter seems to be somewhat good.

But here comes the second letter.

The attitude has completely changed.

Of course, the previous words have not changed, mainly the last sentence: "After returning to Youzhou to repair for a month, immediately return to Chang'an City to report on your duties."

Then Li Zheng opened it again.

From then on, the tone of the imperial edict became more and more severe, telling Li Zheng to withdraw his troops quickly and then return to Chang'an to report on his duties.

"Is the emperor afraid that I will run away? He has issued so many imperial edicts."

Li Zheng put together the imperial edict and said helplessly.

"Now you know what kind of debt this king wants to settle with you, right?"

Li Ke glared at him angrily, "Do you know how much I have blocked you in the past few months? You didn't want to come back in the northern battlefield, but I have been scolded by my father countless times."

"Tell me, how should you compensate me?"

Listen to this.

Looking at the resentment on Li Ke's face, Li Zheng laughed, and then said: "If nothing else, when I return to Chang'an, I will give you ten jars of the best aged vinegar and the most beautiful wine, as an apology."

"Ten jars of vinegar and fine wine just want to heal this king's wounds?"

Li Ke frowned.

"These ten jars of mature vinegar and fine wine are not ordinary wine. This is my latest formula. It is a medicinal wine that can strengthen the body. I estimate that when I return to Chang'an, I should be able to leave the wine shop."

Li Zheng smiled.

"real or fake?"

“Wine can also keep you healthy?”

Li Ke suddenly became interested.

"Not only can you keep fit, but you can also..."

Li Zheng looked at Li Ke's lower body with a teasing expression.

Li Ke lowered his head inexplicably, but feeling Li Zheng's gaze, Li Ke turned aside in embarrassment: "I am not as good as Long Yang."

"I mean it can also make your majesty even more powerful."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

Somehow.

Although the Li Ke in front of him was the son of the current emperor, perhaps because of his inexplicable intimacy with his peers, Li Zheng did not regard him as a vassal king, but as a casual friend.

"My majesty is still there." Li Ke said angrily,

But the conversation changed: "But I am very curious about this wine. I will send someone to deliver it to me as soon as you return to Chang'an. This will be your apology."

"Don't worry, someone will definitely send it to me when I return to Chang'an."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Even if you're a smart kid, I didn't let me help you in vain and use it as a shield."

Only then did Li Ke feel satisfied.

"I don't know why the emperor is so anxious. Since the Yantuo tribe was pacified, I have not used the food and grass supplies provided by the court. Moreover, I have wiped out another tribe and captured so many people."

Li Zheng said helplessly.

"Father is afraid that you will go to the northern border."

"Otherwise, why would he issue so many edicts in succession?"

Li Ke said with a smile.
