Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 363 Back to Chang'an
The generals who went to the expedition, like Li Jing, belonged to the Duke of the state, and almost all of them were rewarded to their family members, and the latter were some honors and property.

But they are all very satisfied. Fortunately, they all know that there will be a big war in the future, otherwise they should stay behind closed doors, worrying that there will be no rewards.

Afterwards, the Jingyang Bell rang 36 times in a row, and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and the Emperor Li Shimin offered sacrifices to heaven in the Taimiao.

After a series of celebrations, Li Shimin decreed that Chang'an City would celebrate three days, Jin Wu couldn't help it, and all prisoners' crimes would be reduced by one grade.

When Feng Daiwen and his party returned to Chang'an, although the reception etiquette was lighter, Li Shimin still asked Prince Li Chengqian to welcome him in person.

The most important award still belongs to Feng Daiwen, the title has become the county magistrate, and the official position has also become General Zhengdong. This is Li Shimin's resumption of the Han system in recent years.

However, this is because Feng Daiwen has made too many contributions in recent years, and the one-time reward is more important than others. Although Feng An did not go out, he sent troops and efforts, and he also received a lot of material awards.

At the same time, many people are envious of being a duo. Moreover, Feng Daiwu and Feng Daihuo were awarded the rank of Zhongwu General because of their meritorious service in this battle.

Seeing that the family members of the Feng family are gathering, many people are more determined to follow in their footsteps. Originally, they were simply cooperating, but they also planned to devote more energy to deepen the cooperative relationship.

Of course, the others were not neglected either, and the same was added, and the only thing changed was that they used to like to reward the land, but now they increase their salary.

When the former army returned to the city, the most they brought were captives, various patriarchs, generals, and aristocrats, one or two thousand. This time the Liaoxi army returned to the army with no more than a few dozen prisoners, but the mighty [-] carriages of gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of treasures , accessories, really opened the eyes of the people of Chang'an and the officials of various ministries.

Now ordinary officials and people only know about the great victory in western Liaoning, but they don’t know how many cities they also attacked. The most important thing is that the capital of Silla was looted for 300 years. When I came back, the army was rewarded, and the leading generals still had this bit of power.

What's more, it was done by an army of tens of thousands of people, holding the people and scraping the ground. Silla also worships Buddhism, so there are many bronze statues. To shock, Feng Daiwen brought them back.

"Brother-in-law, you are really good. You can still make a lot of money after a big battle in western Liaoning." After the awards were awarded, Li Chengqian approached Feng Daiwen, glanced at the convoy, and said with a smile in a low voice.

"The crown prince is overwhelmed. His Majesty doesn't know the details about attacking other countries. I'm afraid he will be scolded." Feng Daiwen said with a wry smile.

When Li Chengqian heard it, he immediately showed a look that you were right and understood deeply, and gave Feng Daiwen a sympathetic look.

There was no way, among all Li Shimin's sons, daughters, and son-in-law, they were the two who received the most scolding. Feng Daiwen occasionally received a smiley face, and Li Chengqian almost faced Li Shimin at any time with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, this time the three of us cut off the enemy's head with our own hands." Li Tai, who was on the battlefield for the first time, couldn't help showing off his pride in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took a glance and found that he was not missing any arms or legs, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glared at him, and said angrily: "You guys tell the queen mother yourself."

"Brother Prince, is the concubine okay?" Li Ke asked nervously.

Li Tai is also like frost beating an eggplant, losing energy, but he knows that nagging this time is inevitable, and Changsun Te can say that he will reprimand him in different ways, and will make him listen willingly until he continues. He didn't admit his mistake, so when he heard this, he immediately had a headache, and suddenly lost the mood to show off, and began to think about how to go back and deal with it.

As for Concubine Yang, she is a mild-tempered one. Because of her status, she never fights for things, and sheds tears when she is worried. Of course, Li Ke understands that he is a filial child, and often says that he is worried that his mother and concubine will lose her eyesight from crying.

"It's okay, I just cried a few times!" Li Chengqian gloated and said.

"Okay! It's been prepared for you a long time ago! There are a few boxes on the car, which are full of various jewelry treasures, all of which are gifts for the mother and the queen. You three will take one back later, and be filial. , it will disappear naturally." Feng Daiwen felt warm in his heart when he thought of his wife and children at home, and he had already prepared a lot of presents. After going out for so long, it would be impossible to go back without presents, and he also prepared one for his third brother by the way.

"Hey! Thank you brother-in-law!" Brother San heard this and quickly thanked them. These were things they hadn't considered. Although the eldest grandson and others don't care about gifts, it's a filial piety, and it can make them happy.

There were too many things going on this time, all of them were major ones, so Feng Daiwen couldn't go home straight away, so he followed Li Chengqian, Zhang Liang and others into the palace, and the young ones went back to their respective homes and found their own mothers.

"Give me a seat!" Li Shimin's face was full of red, and after a few people saluted, he greeted him to sit down.

They brought a convoy into the city, of course not fast, at this time Li Shimin's greenhouse has already had more than a dozen people waiting here, all wanting to hear the specific situation in Liaoxi, after all, the battle report is not so detailed, Li Shimin invited Li Jing and others to listen Make up for the gaps and discuss together.

For major issues, Li Shimin seldom goes his own way, he always likes to listen to more opinions, and then choose the method that is most beneficial to him.

According to Feng Daiwen's dictation, Zhang Liang and others added that the pre-war and post-war of the Liaoxi War appeared in front of everyone.

In order to be intuitive, Li Jing also specially asked people to move to the sand table, and personally laid out the comparison of the strengths of the two sides and the marching route.

"Weiguo has always advocated elite soldiers and strong generals, so why did we use the crowd tactics this time?" Li Jing lined up his formation, calculated silently, and said with a smile.

"Hey! Wei Gong also saw it. He fought steadily. After the heavy snow, Goguryeo naturally retreated. Of course it was easy, but Goguryeo didn't know that Liaoxi was well prepared, and it was very sufficient. Of course, he had to catch him by surprise.

It is also a good thing to be able to eliminate the strength of the coalition forces as much as possible, especially for these small tribes, who have suffered heavy losses. This winter must be sad. Even if they do not retaliate in the future, they will not have a decent army for 20 years.

You must know that these tribes seldom get together. If you want to clean them up, you have to search everywhere. "Feng Daiwen smiled and explained carefully.

Although Li Shimin was relieved of him, he still had to explain clearly why he didn't choose a safe defense. You must know that he failed to join Liaoxi and sent 70 coalition troops into Youzhou and other places. The loss is a trivial matter and will inevitably affect other battlefields.
