Chapter 467: Eight Hundred Miles Expedited (For the Dao Ming Heir!) )

The second update is sent, for the 10,000 rewards of the Dao Ming brothers, thank you for your support!

The family background is too thin, and Li Shimin can only find a way to be frugal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are too many palace ladies in the palace, so it will be rewarded to the ministers and nobles. There are too many palace maids in the palace, and they are not good women, and even many have long been homeless. Several times before and after, more than 1,000 palace maids and more than 1,000 eunuchs have been rewarded. Originally, these 6,000 people had to spend a lot of money and food a month, but now when they are rewarded as gifts, they not only reduce a lot of expenses, but also convert them into money and food to offset many of the rewards due to the nobles.

Li Shimin didn't even let go of the Taiji Palace, he laid off a large number of personnel, there were fewer people in the palace, and Li Shimin was also relieved a lot, there were fewer people, and it was always easier to take care of them.

Empress Eldest Sun is also a woman who can be diligent and thrifty.

He even took the lead in knitting sweaters in the palace, and also took the knitted sweaters to the shops in Chang'an East City to sell, the sweaters knitted by these queens and concubines were extremely popular in Chang'an, and they could be sold at an excellent price every time.

Knitting sweaters has a lot of input, but what makes Chang'an people even more admired is the frugal attitude of the emperor and queen. The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not the kind of extravagant and flashy person, and the queen is even more virtuous.

Night.

Lizheng Palace, the third hall of the East Palace, is also Li Shimin's bedroom, and the queen's eldest grandson has also been accompanying Li Shimin to live in this palace.

It was getting late, but Li Shimin was still reading the folds under the lamp.

The main hall is very large, but there are not too many lights and candles.

Commenting on the music, Li Shimin always couldn't help but float his thoughts to the screen next to him. Above that is a map of Shuofang, Lingwu, Shuofang, Fengzhou, Yulin.

I don't know where Li Chao has already marched at this time, and I don't know if it is going well.

Until now, there are still many people in the DPRK and China who oppose sending troops to Lingzhou.

Li Chao has been dispatching troops for so long with the first batch of 20,000 horses, but the second batch of troops has not been mobilized and assembled for a long time. The courtiers objected to the transfer of another 30,000 horses from Guanzhong, thinking that it was too risky, and once Li Chao sent these 50,000 people away in Lingwu, then Guanzhong would be extremely empty.

Li Shimin was angry in the court several times, but in the end, even the prime ministers of the capital province thought that they should think again.

30,000 men were transferred from Henan, Shannandong, and Shannanxi to replace the 30,000 horses that should have been transferred from Guanzhong. Even these 30,000 horses were finally composed of half government soldiers and half civilian men.

Li Shimin was angry, but the prime ministers and officials below came up with all kinds of difficulties and so on to talk about things.

In the end, the follow-up troops of 30,000 Guanzhong soldiers became 30,000 people from Henan, Shannandong, and Shannanxi. At present, the order of these 30,000 people has just been issued, and it is not known how long it will take to send these 30,000 people to Lingwu.

Li Chao only has his 20,000 horses for the time being.

What bothers Li Shimin even more is that many courtiers are still talking about moving the capital.

When has this been?

Li Chao is right, if you want to move the capital, you can't move it now.

Now, the Son of Heaven should guard the country.

In the final analysis, the Manchu dynasty is still afraid of the Turks. felt that Li Chao's plan was teasing the tiger's beard. Even if they are like the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, they also think that there must be conditions to support Li Chao's plan. You can't take it all in, you have to take it with a grain of salt. Worse scenarios have to be considered.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are not worried about the Turks or Liang Shidu, but the inside of the Tang Dynasty, not long after the Xuanwu Gate, once the Turks go south again, some people inside may be in turmoil.

At this time, we must not put the main force on the battle with the Turks, but must keep an eye on the inside of the Tang Dynasty, especially in an important place like Gyeonggi, and we must not let the second Xuanwumen be staged.

The eldest grandson Wuji wrote a timetable to Li Shimin, if Li Chao failed to defeat Lingwu as scheduled within two months, then the attack plan had to be cancelled, and Li Chao had to retreat to Xiao Guan.

Sixty days, can Li Chao capture Lingwu?

There are only 20,000 horses and horses, and Li Shimin knows that this task is very arduous, especially Li Chao's 20,000 horses, and he didn't even bring the logistics people.

Sometimes Li Shimin wants to lead the troops to conquer in person, but this can only be just thought, and now he can't leave Chang'an at all. Even if he left with the Emperor Taishang and the abolished prince, he couldn't leave.

Toyosu.

The Turks finally understood that Ashnasimo was not joking.

The Tang army actually dared to take the initiative to attack, and the Liang division was actually over.

"What now?"

Ashnasimo sighed, "You strengthen the defenses here, raise your vigilance, and immediately send someone to report to the Great Khan!" ”

"Then the Tang Army still dares to come to Fengzhou? This is our Turkic territory! ”

"Who could have predicted it, didn't we expect that Tang Jun would dare to fight Liang Shidu? But they fought, and they destroyed Liang Shidu so quickly, so they had to be prepared. This time the Tang Army's actions were too fast, and the commander-in-chief Li Chao acted a little unreasonable, and he couldn't predict the consequences, in short, this Li San was definitely a difficult opponent, and I finally understood now why he could call him Lord by the Tuyuhun people who fought on the right side of Longyou! ”

"Li Chao is really such a god?"

"Well, there is indeed such a god, worthy of the name of the god of war."

"Isn't the name of this god of war just a rumor?"

"Rumors? If you can destroy Liang Shidu and capture Lingwu with 20,000 soldiers and horses, at that time, you can also be called the god of war. "Ashina Simo has deep feelings for this Li Chao. If he hadn't run fast when he saw the situation, maybe he would have to confess to Qingtongxia.

What an amazing opponent, I can't imagine that Datang has such a powerful character.

"Don't say anything, strengthen your vigilance, no one can say if this Li San will suddenly go crazy and hit Fengzhou."

"How dare he? We are not Liang Shidu, if he dares to come, let him come and not return. ”

Ashina Simo just smiled.

When you meet an opponent like Li Chao, how can you guess his thoughts. But he now knows a fact, Li Chao is not only the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, but also the hereditary assassin of Fengzhou who was personally entitled by the Tang Emperor.

This Fengzhou is Li Chao's fiefdom.

Xiao Guan.

Qin Qiong led troops to patrol Xiao Pass and the front line of the Great Wall every day.

Waiting for news from Lingwu day and night.

The night is as cool as water.

Qin Qiong was dressed in an iron-clad independent city tower, looking north.

"General, Wen Yuan will be fine." Captain Qin Dare said on the side.

Qin Qiong sighed.

"Wen Yuan's second batch of 30,000 horses should have passed through Xiaoguan three days ago. But until now, not a single shadow has been seen. ”

"It's not uncommon to have delays of two or three days."

"Yes, but I always have a bad feeling, and this time I'm afraid it's not as simple as a delay. Without this follow-up 30,000 reinforcements, Wen Yuan only had 20,000 horses, how could he quickly take Lingwu? ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, if those 30,000 people don't arrive again, Qin Dare, you personally lead an army to reinforce Wenyuan."

Qin dared to be shocked.

"General, I haven't obtained a military order from the imperial court, this is an unauthorized transfer of troops and horses."

"I know." Qin Qiong only replied with three words.

The fast horse that reported the victory galloped on the plain, changing horses all the way without changing people, and even eating and drinking were on the horse. When you are hungry, open that kettle, drink some milk powder porridge, and when you are thirsty, drink some water.

The sun is rising.

After a day and a night.

Although the messenger was exhausted and killed two horses along the way, he managed to reach the city of Xiaoguan.

The guards patrolling the city spotted the fast horse and immediately reported it.

When Qin Qiong heard the news, she rushed to the city gate tower.

He held up the binoculars that Li Chao had given him, and looked at the fast horse that was still approaching rapidly.

"It's my own person, Lingwu's fast horse, with a red flag behind him, this is a messenger, quickly, open the door and take him in!" When Qin Qiong saw the red flag, she was both expectant and nervous.

Is this a messenger of victory, or a messenger for help?

"I'll personally go down to greet you!"

Qin Qiong shook off the wind and strode down the city tower.

The city gate opened, Qin Qiong rode out of the city, and rushed outside the city with his personal guards to greet him.

"But the messenger from Lingwu?"

"Ah, General!"

"Good news!"

The tired messenger reined in his horse and wanted to dismount to meet him, but he rode nearly 800 miles in a day and a night, and his legs were numb, and as soon as he moved, he fell off his horse.

Qin Qiong jumped off the horse and held him up.

"How's Lingwu doing, how is Wen Yuan?"

"General, he fainted, probably too tired."

"Give him water."

After pouring some water and wiping his face with cold water, the messenger finally came to his senses again.

"Ah, General, good news!"

"You said slowly, Wen Yuan won the battle?"

"It's a great victory, the big marshal has already killed Liang Shidu and recovered Lingwu City!"

"Huh?"

Qin Qiong couldn't help but exclaim.

Kill Liang Shidu and recover Lingwu City, this, how is this possible, how long has Li Chaoguan achieved such a great victory.

"Wen Yuan is okay, how are your casualties, and are the losses big?"

"Back to the general, the commander is very good, our army has 20,000 horses, and there is not a single soldier or a single casualty."

"This!"

Qin Dang and the other soldiers were all shocked and couldn't close their mouths.

Without a single soldier being injured, he killed Liang Shidu and captured Lingwu City, how is this possible?

"What the hell is going on, you tell me carefully."

After a moment, the messenger gave a brief explanation.

Qin Qiong and the others were all dumbfounded, and they forgot to close their mouths.

For a long time, Qin Qiong laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha! Wu'er Wenyuan, amazing! ”

"Let's go, go back to the city."

Qin Qiong rode his horse in front, and his soldiers surrounded the messenger and swarmed into Xiao Pass like heroes.

"Great victory, great victory of Lingwu, Li Dashuai slashed the Liang division, Qingtongxia annihilated 50,000 pseudo-Liang troops in the first battle, the army has no blood, take Lingzhou!"

As soon as Qin Dang entered the city, he shouted loudly.

Xiao Guan, the soldiers in the pass heard such exciting news, and they all cheered.

"Qin Kang, you immediately pick a team of light horsemen and personally report to Chang'an, be quick, let Your Majesty know the good news as soon as possible."

"This brother, the task of reporting the victory will be handed over to Qin Dang and them, you can rest in the pass. Someone, give this brother a hundred silk horses! ”

Qin Dare took a small team of people, one person and two horses.

Taking the instrument from the messenger's hand, and planting the red flag on his back, Qin dared to salute Qin Qiong and say goodbye.

"Drive!"

The cavalry galloped eastward. (To be continued.) )
