Chapter 491 Cleaning up the Grassland
"The barbarian tribe actually dared to compete with the bright moon and invaded our Great Tang. Now they have been captured by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself and have become prisoners of our Great Tang. They deserve it."

"Yes."

"They instigated war and have the will to destroy the Tang Dynasty. They should all be exterminated along with their entire clans."

"Smash these two bastards to death."

"Smash..."

Seeing Labdan and Yelu Nagu in the prison car, the people of Chang'an City cursed them angrily, and then threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the two.

This can be regarded as adapting to local customs and enjoying the hospitality etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

The two of them could do nothing but glare at each other, feeling extremely humiliated.

Tai Chi Hall.

There was a happy smile on Li Shimin's face.

this time.

The battle report from the northern border would be sent back every few days, and each time it was good news.

When the news of these great victories came back, Li Shimin was naturally very happy.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"The sinful Turkic leader Rabdan."

"The sinful Khitan leader Yelu Nagu."

"Now he has been escorted outside the hall, waiting to be summoned by the emperor." Liu Lin walked into the hall and reported loudly.

"Xuan."

"I want to see what these two bastards will look like after they were captured after provoking a war against our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin laughed heartily, feeling very happy.

Wang De immediately shouted, "The emperor has ordered that the sinners Labdan and Yelu Nagu be brought into the palace."

only.

When the two entered the hall.

It is also accompanied by a pungent odor.

"It stinks."

"It seems that these two guys were severely beaten by the people of Chang'an."

"It's ridiculous and infuriating that two great khans have fallen to such a state."

When the officials smelled the odor, they couldn't help but cover their noses.

It was a relief to see Chen Jing, who was supposed to be the high and mighty Khan, turned into a prisoner, wearing shackles and prison uniform.

Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon throne, looked down at the two of them with indifference.

"Kneel down."

The captain of the bandit-suppressing army shouted coldly.

Several soldiers immediately understood and took action.

Two bangs.

Labdan and Yelu Nagu were kicked to the ground and made to kneel on the ground.

"It is said that."

"You two made some grandiose statements, saying you would break into my borders, capture my son, and negotiate terms with me."

"How come you've become a prisoner now, without fulfilling all these lofty words?" Li Shimin said sarcastically, feeling proud.

"Li Shimin."

"If you want to kill, kill."

"I'm not afraid of you."

Rabdan struggled and cursed Li Shimin.

"Palm mouth."

Li Shimin shouted sternly.

A soldier started to greet Labdan directly.

The sound of clapping echoed throughout the court.

After a while.

"Why? Are you very unconvinced?"

"Then you hold it for me."

"My son has already entered the northern border. He will reunite your family soon."

"And your entire clan."

"They will all become slaves of our Tang Dynasty."

"Someone is coming."

"Take them away and put them in jail. Don't let them die."

Li Shimin sneered and shouted loudly.

Then Labdan and the other man were taken away and detained.

Li Shimin couldn't stop smiling.

"In the past, my son led the army deep into the desert and killed the Turkic king. In return, there was no war in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for five or six years. But now, compared with the past, my son has created even greater results." "My son is more powerful than Huo Qubing back then."

"Now I have led my Tang Dynasty soldiers into the desert again, and have launched a counterattack in Youzhou, Jinyang and Hetao." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty."

"It will definitely be able to completely solve the problem of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty."

All the civil and military officials in the court shouted loudly.

Naturally, they were not surprised at all about the victory that Li Zheng was going to achieve.

"My son, and countless Tang soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the northern border."

"What I can do, and what you can do, is not to hold them back."

"Regarding all the command rights for the war in the northern border, the Ministry of War only has the power to make suggestions, not the power to dispatch troops. These sons of mine know how to arrange and allocate them."

"There are also food and supplies sent to the northern border. These are the top priorities."

"As our Tang army advances deeper into northern border, our food supply routes will also be lengthened."

"In order to prevent the grain route from being cut off by foreign tribes, not only the Ministry of Revenue must focus on mobilizing grain and supplies, but the Ministry of War must also make proper arrangements."

"I don't want to end up with my Tang soldiers being defeated because of these things." Li Shimin said in a very stern tone.

"I accept the decree."

Qin Jiansheng and Li Jing responded immediately.

This battle.

It was not just a battle between the Tang Dynasty soldiers on the border, but also a battle between the entire Tang Dynasty court.

If the logistics cannot keep up and the food and grass of the 500,000 Tang troops cannot keep up, the army will suffer a disastrous defeat, so either way must be treated with caution.

If a military defeat occurs because of any one of these links, it is absolutely impossible to escape blame.

"Does my son have anything else to ask you to tell him?" Li Shimin asked the soldiers of the bandit-suppressing army in the hall.

"Return to the Emperor."

"The general specifically instructed me to do so."

"He will definitely come back to celebrate the emperor's birthday." The captain said respectfully.

Hear this.

Li Shimin burst into laughter. "Hahaha, good, good, my son is thoughtful. I will wait for him to come back and celebrate my birthday."

……

On the northern border grassland.

From the border of the Tang Dynasty to the deep desert for dozens of miles, there were corpses of foreign races everywhere, and war horses wandering everywhere.

Various ox carts and horse carts carrying grain.

"Spare my life."

"Sir, spare my life."

"We are willing to surrender, willing to surrender."

Surrounded by many Tang Dynasty soldiers, thousands of foreigners knelt on the ground, discarded their weapons, and were filled with despair and fear.

Li Zheng glanced coldly at the surrendered soldiers, then looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "Where is Lin Chong leading his troops?"

"Return to the general."

"It should be more than ten miles away. It will take us at least an hour to reach the target." Su Dingfang replied immediately.

"too long."

Li Zheng shook his head.

Subsequently.

Raise your hand.

Suddenly fell.

But the signal fell.

All the soldiers of the Bandit-Suppressing Army immediately understood and launched a massacre, killing all the thousands of surrendering foreign soldiers.

"Jinyang and Hetao have already started the counterattack, right?" Li Zheng asked again.

"Return to the general."

"Ten days ago, after the Tiele and Shatuo tribes withdrew their troops, the two governments began to launch their attacks."

"According to the general's order, from Youzhou, Jinyang, Hetao, and the three prefectures, a total of 500,000 troops will launch a full-scale counterattack."

“We have already achieved a lot.”

"We don't know where to put the prisoners we captured." Su Dingfang reported with a smile.

As the full-scale counterattack began.

A frantic hunt also began against the foreign captives.

The alien race mobilized a lot of troops this time.

As for those who were injured and could not be cured, the Tang Dynasty was very merciful and gave them a quick death.
