This time, the whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty, and these generals of the older generation can be regarded as having worked hard.

Zhang Gongjin and Li Ji both went into battle with illness, and Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin went to a bitter cold place like Dafeichuan.

If the new generation of generals grows up, they don't have to fight so hard, but for the sake of safety, they still choose to say goodbye to the rich life and go into battle when they are old.

Li Xiaogong and Leng Feng were both taken to the Taimiao Temple to live temporarily, and after the merits were reported, a great court meeting would be held to reward them.

It is an honor to be able to live in the Taimiao.

However, on such a serious occasion, Liu Hongji sang every night, and Cheng Yanjin was actually drunk and arrogant.

Several generals were gathering together to drink, and when they saw Leng Feng Li Jing and Li Xiaogong coming in, Cheng Yanjin took a jar of wine, staggered over and said: "You guys are back, haha, I feel relieved to see that you didn't lose parts, come on, your achievements are the greatest, you have to drink a jar." ”

Leng Feng took the wine jar, but did not drink it, but asked Zhang Gongjin: "This is Taimiao, how can you make such a fuss?" ”

Zhang Gongjin was weak and didn't drink, and when he saw Leng Feng asking, he said: "Don't talk about a few of us, you have to be arrogant, you are a military general who is proud of your achievements, and you always have to make trouble until you are reprimanded by the emperor, which is normal." ”

Only when the trouble is reprimanded by the emperor can it be regarded as the end, and after listening to the emperor's reprimand and accepting the punishment, can the power of the imperial power be revealed. The emperor has face, so he can officially reward his merits. This is already a routine, but Leng Feng didn't know much about it before.

Crying and laughing, he pushed away the dancing girl who came up, Leng Feng still chose to clean himself.

These brothers have made Taimiao smoky, and it is estimated that he will have his share when he is criticized, and he will not be able to act on the spot.

Letting Cheng Yanjin and others live in the Taimiao and report their merits to the ancestors is just an excuse, mainly because the emperor is ready to let everyone gather and then reward them together.

Therefore, on the third day after Leng Feng Li Jing and Li Xiaogong returned, the emperor issued a decree to reprimand the generals who were misbehaving in the Taimiao, and at the same time informed everyone that a great court meeting would be held the next day.

The Great Pilgrimage, which is held only at the beginning of the year, is the highest level of the Pilgrimage. However, under the attack on the Tang Dynasty by the whole world, the generals were not in the capital, and the civil officials were too busy to land, so it was canceled.

Now that the dust has settled on the Tang Dynasty and the generals have returned to Chang'an, it is time to hold a court meeting and reward the generals.

Above the main hall, there is an extra table in the front row of the general, with tea and snacks on it.

In the past, there was no such thing in the Great Dynasty, even if it was the emperor, he could not drink tea blatantly, and the appearance of the table was enough to show the emperor's respect for the military.

After taking a seat, Li Xiaogong served tea from the table and passed it back cup by cup.

Seeing that the generals all had tea to drink, the civil officials were envious.

Li Shimin didn't care, and waited for the generals to get the tea before saying, "Fang Qing, let's start!" ”

Fang Xuanling stood up with a blank piece of paper in his hand, in the past, the big court meeting had to report how the year's income was, what disasters and famines, etc., but this year's big court meeting, no one cared about this, what everyone cared about was what this war was like.

Although the victory bell kept ringing, no one knew the exact situation of the battle.

After saluting the emperor, Fang Xuanling said: "In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty, Murwei, Jianya, Hanhae, Silla, Baekje, the old Goryeo country, and the Wa kingdom.... All countries joined forces to attack our Datang. However, although these people are ambitious, they are no match for our Tang Lion, not only failed to invade, but were captured a lot of land. On behalf of the people of the world and colleagues in the court, thank you to the generals! ”

After speaking, Fang Xuanling bowed in the direction of the general.

The generals got up one after another to return the salute, Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, his etiquette is not something that anyone can bear, at this time, even Li Xiaogong does not dare to be arrogant.

After the salute was finished, Fang Xuanling continued to read: "Under the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty soldiers have killed a total of 135,636 people, 35,872 people are disabled, and countless people have been seriously injured and lightly injured. ”

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling's voice was low, and Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong both lowered their heads.

Among the more than 130,000 soldiers killed in the war, Gaochang accounted for most of them.

Nearly 80,000 soldiers squandered their blood in that place.

However, their sacrifice is not meaningless, although the casualties of the Tang Dynasty are large, but the enemy's casualties are heavier, Gaochang killed more than 600,000 enemies, Jingbei Province killed more than 200,000 enemies, stationed in the mountains killed more than 500,000 enemies, Donghai killed 60,000 enemies, Lingnan killed 30,000 enemies, Dafeichuan killed 30,000 enemies, and Guazhou killed more than 100,000 enemies. In the next battle, my Datang killed the enemy in fear, showing the majesty of my Datang lion! ”

"Six hundred thousand.... Du Ruhui really dared to help us blow it, and it was doubled directly. ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's report, Leng Feng couldn't help but muttered to Li Xiaogong.

The real situation is that the three parties in the Western Regions of Turkic Tibet have lost a total of more than 300,000 or 600,000? If the enemy's strength reached that level, Gao Chang probably wouldn't be able to fight even 300,000 people.

Li Xiaogong lowered his voice and said: "You don't understand this, the imperial court is going to announce this battle record to the world, and only by making the number of enemies killed a larger number can the people feel at ease." Although the number recorded is 600,000, the merits and other things are still based on the real situation. ”

Leng Feng nodded, if that's the case, then it's nothing to brag about.

After talking about the casualties, it was spent, Fang Xuanling continued to read: "From the beginning to the end of the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty has spent a total of one million quintals of grain, 536,830 gold coins, and 2,29,640 silver coins, and the savings of the treasury for several years have all been exhausted, and even slightly overdrawn. ”

War is to burn money, and if Datang had not changed the agricultural tax to the commercial tax payment, it would have been impossible to persist to this extent.

The grain and grass consumed by the war alone were not something that farmers could afford to pay taxes. Under the attack on the Tang Dynasty by the whole world, counting the grain consumed by the transport team supporting the border army, it was more than one million quintals.

One million quintals is only the grain reserve of the state treasury, and the rest of the grain is all bought with money.

For the Tang Dynasty, after the whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty, it was really "once back to the pre-liberation period", although the treasury revenue was increasing every year, but it was impossible to recover it in three or five years.

"However, the consumption is worth it. west of Guazhou, to the foot of the plateau; west of Gaochang until the Western Regions; north of Gyeongbuk Province, 2,000 miles; These new soils are all harvested this time, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty today far exceeds that of previous dynasties! ”
