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

Chapter 39 Chang'an, eight hundred miles of urgent news

It fell into silence in Daming Palace.

"Report!"

"Initiate Your Majesty."

"The urgent news from the northern border of 800 miles has arrived in Chang'an."

A young Yulin Army general with bright armor walked into the palace quickly.

He is Wang Fangyi, the personal bodyguard of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

"well."

"It seems that Medicine Master Li did not disappoint me."

When Li Shimin heard Wang Fangyi's report, he swept away the gloom on his face and laughed heartily.

"Father, with such a good news, I should gather all the ministers to celebrate together."

When Prince Li Chengqian heard this, he quickly bowed to invite him.

"So good!"

Li Shimin was in a good mood and immediately agreed to the prince's proposal.

"Wang Fangyi, immediately send me a message, summon all civil and military officials, and enter the palace immediately."

Li Shimin excitedly displayed his dragon robe and shouted orders.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Wang Fangyi knelt down on one knee, received the order and left quickly.

After half an hour.

Daming Palace and Yizheng Hall.

Civil and military officials gathered.

Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a fu (fu) head, sitting high on a dragon chair. Prince Li Chengqian stood on the steps, overlooking the courtiers.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live.

"Zhu Qing is flat."

Li Shimin was in a good mood at the moment, and with a wave of his hand, he asked all the ministers who were kneeling to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up slowly and returned to their respective positions in order of rank, with civilian officials on the left and military attachés on the right.

"My dear friends, this is not the time for a court meeting. Do you know why I summoned you to court?"

Li Shimin looked at the ministers at the foot of the steps with a smile on his face, and his excitement was beyond words.

Not long after the ministers had just left the morning court, they suddenly received an order to go to court again. At first, all of them felt puzzled. They didn't know what big thing had happened, and they were all uneasy.

Looking up secretly at Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon chair, he saw that his face was full of youth and energy, and all the ministers felt relieved.

"I don't know if I wait."

The ministers replied one after another.

Even if some ministers from the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of War knew about it, they would not say it rashly and ruin the emperor's interest.

after all.

Eight hundred miles rushed to enter Chang'an. Many people in Chang'an city saw it. Their senior officials from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of War would know about this situation immediately.

"The Duke of Wei, Medicine Master Li, has received good news from the north."

Li Shimin said excitedly with a happy face.

"Come, let the envoy come to the palace to announce the victory."

Li Shimin ordered the eunuch next to him.

"The emperor has a purpose."

"The messenger comes to the palace to announce the victory."

"The Emperor has a decree..."

One after another, eunuchs passed on Li Shimin's imperial edict. The words fell.

A victorious soldier wearing battle armor, with an order flag on his back and dusty from the weather, walked quickly into the hall.

In ancient times, there were no modern means of transportation and communication, and the method of delivery was through messengers on horseback.

Such an eight-hundred-mile-long emergency report is to send out messengers on fast horses from the battlefield. Every time they arrive at a post station, they change people and horses, and deliver the victory information non-stop.

The transportation roads in ancient times were in dilapidated condition, and even under such circumstances, one had to travel eight hundred miles a day.

This is the so-called 800-mile express.

Once the eight-hundred-mile expedited order is activated, no one dares to stop it.

Because the eight hundred mile express represents a national event and cannot be stopped.

"See Your Majesty for a humble position!"

In the Council Hall, the urgent messenger knelt on the ground and paid homage to the emperor with a look of fear on his face.

"Get up and talk."

Li Shimin said with a warm face and a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The orderly soldier got up from the ground. As the lowest-level soldier, standing in the grand palace for the first time, the orderly soldier was a little at a loss.

"Send me the good news."

Li Shimin couldn't wait and ordered the ordering soldiers.

"According to the order!"

The soldier who delivered the order held up the document of victory and walked towards the steps. The eunuch who delivered the order was about to step forward, but was stopped by the prince Li Chengqian on the steps.

He walked down the steps and took the paperwork in person.

The prince walked up the steps and was about to hand the good news document to Li Shimin, but was interrupted by Li Shimin:
  "Prince."

"Read the good news to the ministers!"

"Let all the civil and military ministers hear what a great victory has been achieved in the north."

"Let all the ministers listen to how our soldiers on the front lines of the Tang Dynasty killed the enemy and served the country."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"My son obeys the order."

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Chengqian tore off the seal of the good news, then spread it out and read aloud:

"Your Majesty, the general manager of Dingxiang Road, Li Jing, is here to report to the Emperor."

"According to His Majesty's decree, I led the troops to conquer the Turks in the north. After a month of fierce fighting, we achieved fruitful results."

"On July 6, at the foot of Yin Mountain, our Northern Expeditionary Vanguard Army encountered a surprise attack of 20,000 Turkic cavalry for the first time. Our 8,000 Vanguard Army soldiers were not afraid of death and fought bravely to kill the enemy. In an unfavorable situation, they severely defeated the Turks and killed more than 10,000 enemies. , when my main force arrives, annihilate all 20,000 Turkic cavalry."

"The warriors of the Third Crossbow Battalion of our vanguard army even shot the Turkic general Uriago dead on the spot."

"After several days of searching, the main force of our army finally found the Turkic Royal Court and surrounded it. On July 18, we launched an attack on the Turkic Royal Court. After three days of fierce fighting, our Tang army finally broke through the Turkic Royal Court. The main force of the Turkic Army They were all wiped out by our army."

"Except for a very few who escaped, the Turkic army of 100,000 people has been annihilated and captured by our Tang Dynasty. Our Tang army also suffered more than 20,000 casualties."

"The Turk Jieli Khan was captured by our Tang army warriors and is now on his way to Chang'an."

"In this northern expedition to the Turks, our Tang army killed 30,000 enemies and captured tens of thousands. The main force of the Turks was completely wiped out. I have lived up to your majesty's high expectations."

"In this attack on the Turks, I would like to report to Your Majesty that the person who made the first contribution to the annihilation of the Turks was a new soldier who had just joined the army for less than a few months. At a young age, he joined the army to serve his country. He went through life and death on the battlefield and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. I am a model among the Tang army."

"In the encounter at Yinshan Mountain, as a soldier of the crossbow battalion of the vanguard army, he remained calm and composed when he encountered the Turkic surprise attack. He not only shot and killed the Turkic general Uriago, but also saved dozens of soldiers with sharp arrows."

"In the siege of the Turkic Royal Court, he rescued General Su Dingfang, the leader of the vanguard army, and then bravely led his army to attack the Turkic Royal Court and captured Jieli Khan alive. This was the first contribution to our Northern Expedition's annihilation of the main Turkic force. .”

"This son's name is Li Zheng. In accordance with the military laws of the Tang Dynasty, I have promoted him to General Dingyuan."

"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to reward these good generals generously."

"Your Majesty, after this battle of the Turkic Royal Court, the main Turkic force has been completely lost. Now there are only two remnants. Among them, the Aijin tribe has been defeated by the British. The younger brother of Jieli Khan The main force of the Yugu Chamdo tribe is still there, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am confident that I will find and annihilate this tribe, annihilate all the remaining Turks, and ensure that the northern border of the Tang Dynasty is safe."

"My lord, Li Jing bows down!"

Prince Li Chengqian read loudly, and his voice stopped here.
