The army was led by Li Jing, and the rest of the generals followed behind Li Jing, and the generals were followed by the cadets of the military academy. Li Chengqian did not follow Li Jing to the front, but stood in the queue of the military academy and marched forward.

The generals stopped more than 20 paces away from Comrade Li Er, and the army all stood still.

Li Jing got off the horse, walked quickly in front of Li Er, and then saluted Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, fortunately, I am not dishonored, and now my Datang border will no longer be troubled by the Turkic border blockade." ”

Li Er raised his hand to help Li Jing, and then said three times with a smile on his face: "Datang has the help of the generals, which is really the blessing of Datang and the people." ”

After Li Er finished speaking, Liu Bing, who was standing to the side, shouted: "Play Kaile." After finishing speaking, the palace officials brought by Comrade Li Er began to play music, Zhang Nan really couldn't appreciate the music of the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, Zhang Nan only had a sense of pride in his heart. After all, in this war, I sweated profusely.

Li Er took Li Jing's hand and said, "The army is triumphant, and the generals will go to the Taimiao with me to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and I will reward our soldiers well." After speaking, Li Er walked in the front, and Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and others followed behind Li Er and headed for Chang'an City.

Zhang Nan saw from a distance that Cui Yue and Cui Lu were also in the ranks of the welcoming army, but at this time, Zhang Nan couldn't run to Cui Yue without making an assertion, so he had to obediently follow Li Er to Taimiao to finish the things after the triumph. Zhang Nan waved his hand at Cui Yue from afar, signaling that he had seen it, and Cui Yue also waved at Zhang Nan with red eyes.

The army entered the city of Chang'an, and the people in the city of Chang'an spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, leaving a place for the army to march, and the army was moving towards the palace, and the people also followed the army forward.

"Eh, who are those soldiers who are dressed differently, why don't they even wear armor?" A man who looked like a scholar asked strangely.

The person next to him gave the scholar a blank look, and then said, "I see that you are from another place." ”

Shizi nodded, and then said: "Zai Xia is indeed a person from other places, and he has only recently come to Chang'an City, and I hope that this brother can inform Zaixia." The scholar did not react to the white eyes, but looked humble and asked for advice.

The man saw that the scholar was so polite, and it was not easy to hold the shelf, so he said: "I just said that the tone was not good, and I hope that Brother Tai will not be surprised, Brother Tai is not a person from Chang'an, I don't know, this is the protégé of the saint, this is the cadets of the Tang Military Academy." ”

"Holy protégé? The Holy One actually accepts disciples too?! Shizi wondered.

The man had to slowly explain to the scholar what was going on in this military school, and the scholar from other places couldn't stop nodding his head again and again.

"Eh, those are the Turks, they look fierce." In the city of Chang'an, he saw the Turkic captives in the army and said to the people around him.

"Who says it's not, I heard that these Turks have no etiquette and shame, and they are extremely vicious, and the people of my Datang border pass are bullied by them." Another said.

"If you want me to say, these Turks should be killed all, and no one should be left behind, so as to avenge the people at the border of the Tang Dynasty."

"You don't know this, the Holy One can't bear to do such a cruel thing, although these Turkic crimes are unforgivable, but it is always wrong to kill innocents indiscriminately, you look at those Turks, there are women and children in them."

Only then did everyone see that there were men, women, and children of all ages in this group of Turkic captives. As for cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, Li Jing also implemented the three-light policy, and all the livestock he saw were pulled back.

"Good fellow, this is to capture all the Turks in the steppe."

"Yes, the Holy One doesn't kill them, that's a gift to them, I heard that these Turks will be put in the Labor Reform Bureau, repair the border passes for my Tang Dynasty, and repair the city wall, in the future, the Holy One will build a palace or something, and we don't need our people, these jobs are all these Turks."

"I see, the Holy One is really a wise man who cares for the people."

What the people were discussing, Li Er naturally couldn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he was only happy, after all, this was only good for his reputation among the people.

Naturally, the palace could not fit more than 100,000 troops and 100,000 prisoners, not to mention that there were cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock in the captives this time, so Jieli and his son and others became the representatives of the captives.

Although the people can't enter the palace, this will not affect the people's happy mood for this big victory, although Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, but the New Year flavor in Chang'an City is still full, this big victory is also a good conversation topic for the people, so the taverns, restaurants, and even Qinglou in Chang'an City are all full.

Li Er, Li Jing, Zhang Nan and others came to the Taimiao, and after a series of complicated rituals, the most important ceremony finally began.

"That is, the ancestors of heaven and earth will be finished, and the sacrifice of prisoners will begin." After Li Er's sacrifice to the heavens was completed, the ceremonial official finally said the words that Zhang Nan had been waiting for for a long time, Zhang Nan looked forward to this matter and nothing else, just because this link of sacrificing prisoners was reported to Li Er by Zhang Nan, if he didn't have such a task, Zhang Nan didn't even want to participate in the sacrifice to the sky.

Zhang Nan walked quickly in front of Li Er, and after saluting Comrade Li Er, he pretended to take out an excerpt from his arms and began to read it, in fact, these numbers Zhang Nan had printed in his mind, but at this time, he still had to take out the excerpt report, which looked more solemn.

"Your Majesty, this time to prove the Turks, my Tang Dynasty won a complete victory, capturing more than 100,000 Turkic captives, more than 1,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and countless other baggage." Zhang Nan's report is very short, it stands to reason that this report should not be so short, because there must be some foreshadowing written before and after, but Zhang Nan can't write, so he has to jump to the topic.

Li Er's mouth is almost to the root of his ears now, and he doesn't mind whether Zhang Nan's excerpt is written or not, anyway, when he heard that so many captives had been captured, Li Er's heart was happy.

"Okay, well, Qingquan is really my blessed general, Qingquan, these 100,000 captives I will teach you, you have to make good use of me, and do more things for my Datang to benefit the country and the people." Li Er smiled and patted Zhang Nan on the shoulder and said.

"Ministers should be kept in mind." Zhang Nan also said with a smile.

"Okay, generals, I have set up a banquet in the palace, and I have already sent someone to inform you Aiqing's family, and I will entertain you in the palace later." From the return of the army to Chang'an City, until the sacrifice of prisoners, it tossed for almost a day, making everyone hungry, and now it is finally over, not only Li Er is happy, Zhang Nan is even more happy.
