Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 347 Battle Seventeen
"Yes, Commander! The general obeys!" Feng Daiwen patted the shoulder with a pleasant face, Lai Ji said loudly with a little excitement.

"Go!"

After Laiji left, Zhishenli led Laiheng and the others strode in and said, "Captain, the inventory has been completed."

"Tell me, how was the result?" Feng Daiwen asked with a little expectation.

"There were about 14 Baekje coalition troops in this campaign, with 5000 casualties and more than [-] prisoners. The rest all fled." Zhishen replied energetically.

After a pause, he continued: "Our army suffered six thousand casualties, more than eighteen thousand minor injuries, captured eight thousand horses, and thirty thousand stones of grain and grass."

"Just in case, all the wounded soldiers are in Tanzhou, plus young and strong, to defend the city. This task will be done by Li Tian and Fang Yiai. Is there a problem?" Feng Daiwen asked thoughtfully road.

"Captain, the enemy army has retreated anyway, why don't you let Brother Yiai guard it alone?" Seeing Feng Daiwen's tone of discussion, Li Tian asked cautiously.

"No, what if the other party kills the carbine? I don't worry if I love someone alone. This task belongs to you. As long as you defend the city, it will be a great achievement. Don't worry, there will be battles behind." Feng Daiwen walked over to pat him shoulder comforted.

Although Li Tian was a little out of tune, he also understood that it was a little inappropriate for Fang Yiai to guard him personally. Fortunately, he also left someone to accompany him, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Everyone count the horses and equipment, set off after dinner, and rush back to Yingzhou in the starry night. Now that winter is coming, Goguryeo must want to capture one or two cities before the snow falls. The battle in Yingzhou is bound to be violent. I will go to support without delay. Tell the brothers well, after a few days of hard work, Yingzhou brothers are still waiting for us, and after the war, reward the three armies." Feng Daiwen ordered solemnly.

"The last general obeys orders!" Everyone clasped their fists in response.

Chang'an City

In the past month or so, the atmosphere in Chang'an has been tense. Although the imperial court has issued announcements many times to appease people, it has published the number of troops and generals in the newspapers.

Because there is a story about the heroes of the Tang Dynasty in the previous page, the generals published in the newspapers are almost all names that are familiar to the people. For many people, they really think that these are the descendants of the stars. It is still debated that those star kings can make another contribution this time.

"Good news! Good news! Great victory in Jiannan Road! The [-] troops of Tuyuhun perish!!!"

"Good news! Good news! Great victory in Jiannan Road! The [-] troops of Tuyuhun perish!!!"

A group of Hongling messengers rushed into Chang'an at high speed, while galloping on horseback, someone shouted loudly.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" Hearing the shouts along the way, the people asked each other again. They didn't know who took the lead, and they began to shout excitedly.

Not long after, the whole city was cheering, sweeping away the oppressive atmosphere of many days, the whole city was plunged into excitement.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin was discussing various issues with Fang Xuanling and others about the army going out, when he vaguely heard many people shouting outside, he couldn't help standing up slightly worried, and went to the palace gate to listen carefully.

"Can you hear what's shouting outside?" Li Shimin hadn't had a good rest for many days. Although he still had the same dignity, he couldn't hide his fatigue. He frowned and asked the guard at the door.

"Report to the Holy Majesty! It should be shouting, Wan Sheng!" The guard clasped his fists and bent down to reply.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It should be good news!" Du Ruhui came to his senses and said to Li Shimin.

Just as he was speaking, there were imperial guards carrying the Hongling messenger and galloping all the way.

"See Your Majesty, Jiannan Dao's good news! Fifty thousand soldiers from Tuyuhun have fled!" Hongling courier broke free, staggered, took out a letter from his arms, held it with both hands above his head, and said loudly.

"Thank you! Go down and have a good rest!" Li Shimin strode forward, quickly took the letter, said to the guard, and opened the letter after speaking.

The Hongling messenger was so excited that Li Shimin's hard work made her face flushed, she couldn't speak, and hurriedly bowed again before being supported by the imperial guards to rest.

"Haha! Good! Good! As soon as my Xuanjia army came out, I immediately won the first prize." After reading the letter, Li Shimin handed it to Fang Xuanling, and said with a big laugh.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..." Just as Changsun Wuji said a word, he saw another team of imperial guards galloping towards him with the Hongling courier on their backs, choking back what he was about to say later.

"See Your Majesty, Songzhou urgent report, Tubo killed 15, captured [-], and the rest fled. The siege of Songzhou will be relieved." The Hongling messenger also took out the letter, cupped it in both hands, and said respectfully.

"Okay! It's hard work, go down and have a good rest, don't get tired." Li Shimin was in a good mood, not as impulsive as he was at the beginning, took the letter, smiled and patted Hong Ling's messenger on the shoulder and said.

Hongling Messenger was slapped by Li Shimin, almost fainted from excitement, and was taken out by the guards at a loss.

Today was destined to be a happy day, as if it had been discussed, the Hongling messenger from Longyou Dao also said on the same day.

After reading the letter, Li Shimin kept smiling from ear to ear, and immediately made an order that the whole city celebrate one day, and after all the victories, the whole country will celebrate together.

Chang'an City did not need Li Shimin's decree, and it has already celebrated. Today's three batches of battle reports have shown that 70 million enemy troops have been defeated, and it is the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo who have more people than Tuyuhun. This is not the case of Nanyang. A small country, of course, is something to celebrate.

The victory of the Tang Dynasty means that a stable life can continue, and many people have children and grandchildren who have joined the army. A big victory means that the credit is not small, and the credit means a more generous reward.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty has always given generous rewards to military achievements, so although the common people do not know where their children and grandchildren fought, this does not prevent everyone from celebrating, at least they can be happy and look forward to their safe return.

Today, all stores have launched [-]% off, discounts, gifts, and other activities, and even the snack street is offering buy one get one free.

Guang'an made people open the opera house, free performances around the clock, everyone can go in and watch one.

The eldest grandson is even more generous, and directly sends frosting sugar, cloth skin, and goat milk powder to all elderly people over [-] and women who have given birth to four or more children in their families.

Li Shimin was not to be outdone, all disabled soldiers and their families were exempted from taxation and hard labor, and even asked the medical school to organize a free clinic to see a doctor and get medicine for them for free, which has greatly won the hearts of the people.

Of course, all the people spontaneously praised Li Shimin and his wife, and at the same time, the first batch of badges with Li Shimin's head were also awarded to the disabled soldiers.
