Seeing Xu Maogong and Wei Chigong walking towards him, Li Zhi hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "It's hard work, this battle can definitely go down in history." ”

Seeing Li Zhi so happy, Xu Maogong said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now the Khitan Royal City has been burned to rubble. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speaks, it is said that the Khitan king resisted stubbornly, regardless of the lives of the people in the city, and finally ended up in this ending. ”

Of course, Li Zhi understood why Xu Maogong was so anxious, in order to get rid of his notoriety of slaughtering the city. After all, it has a big impact on your future.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what, we will win this battle. After returning to Chang'an City, the emperor will definitely be happy. When the time comes, rewards will be indispensable. Wei Chigong said happily to Li Zhi.

"All this is thanks to the secret help of the imperial brother, if there is no imperial brother, how can there be a big victory today." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"That kid is paying for things, even though he provided the fireworks. But didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also give him an IOU? Wei Chigong said to Li Zhi.

After Li Zhi smiled helplessly, he didn't say anything, but turned around and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army. This couldn't help but make Wei Chigong feel strange, and he didn't know why Li Zhi had such an expression.

However, Xu Maogong on the side had already understood, and he was also very surprised in his heart. Because he definitely didn't expect that Li Zhi had already discovered that Li Tai was in the army.

This analytical power alone is not something that anyone can do. In the future, when Li Zhi ascends the throne as emperor, he can also avoid being deceived by traitors and villains with this analytical power.

Seeing Wei Chigong's puzzled expression, Xu Maogong shook his head helplessly. Then he said: "I'll tell you why when I go back, now let's report the military situation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Maogong followed Li Zhi into the big tent of the Chinese army, although Wei Chigong was full of questions, but he also knew in his heart that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it.

"Now that the Khitan Royal City has been taken by us, what should we do next?" Li Zhi sat on the handsome seat and asked Xu Maogong and Wei Chigong.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now this expedition has ended in victory. So the next step is naturally for us to return to the court. However, it is best to say hello to the emperor first and send people to station this territory of Khitan and Xi. lest other foreign races take advantage of it. Xu Maogong Li Zhi said.

"Then the palace wrote a good news and ordered someone to send it back to Chang'an City as soon as possible. Let my father make arrangements as soon as possible. Li Zhi nodded and said.

……

The fire burned for several days and nights before it was slowly extinguished. After the fire was extinguished, Yu Chigong led people into the Khitan royal city. A detailed search was made on the Khitan Imperial City.

Don't even say it, there are people who have escaped this by hiding in the cellar. However, in the end, he died in the search, and there really wasn't a single living mouth left in the entire Khitan Royal City.

Xu Maogong was not idle, he took Li Zhi's guards and also entered the Khitan royal city. As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire. No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to reduce the gold and silver to nothing.

Therefore, Xu Maogong's task is to find out the gold and silver in the city, after all, it can't be wasted here. At the same time, in order to avoid conflicts between soldiers over gold and silver. Xu Maogong also specially issued a military order, and anyone who dared to hide anything in the city without permission would be sentenced to death.

In this way, this battlefield was cleaned for nearly ten days before the entire Khitan Royal City was finally sorted out. Get gold and silver, that's countless.

Li Zhi saw the gold and silver in front of him, and said with a smile Xu Maogong: "These should be enough to repay the money for those fireworks of the imperial brother." Just hand them over to the two generals, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing, and take them back to Youzhou City to hand them over to the imperial brother. ”

Xu Maogong didn't expect that Li Zhi would make such a decision. This is not something that anyone can do, after all, there is a lot of gold and silver.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Royal Highness King Yan's fireworks are expensive, I'm afraid I won't need so much." Xu Mao said to Li Zhi publicly.

"There are some things that cannot be measured by money, such as the relationship between brothers, even no amount of money can buy it." Li Zhi shook his head and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much stronger than Li Tai's kid, and that kid is a miser who regards money as his life. That alone would not have made him a great achievement. Wei Chigong pursed his lips and said.

Regardless of whether what Wei Chigong said was true or not, Li Zhi still sounded very useful. So he said with a smile: "It's not that this palace doesn't love money, it's just that as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money in a good way." Why not the royal brother? ”

In the end, the two brothers, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing, led the Swift Wind White Tiger Army and the Wild Wave Xuanwu Army to escort this huge amount of gold and silver to Youzhou. And Li Tai had already left a few days ago.

Sending away his two sons, Yu Chigong found Xu Maogong. And asked Xu Maogong: "Now that the dust has settled, it's time to talk to me." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really extraordinary, he has long known that His Royal Highness King Yan is in the army. And the purpose of giving away this large sum of gold and silver is also to thank His Royal Highness King Yan for his strong support in secret. Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have such insight at such a young age. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not comparable to Li Chengqian. Yu Chigong also said in surprise.

"In the future, the world of the Tang Dynasty will definitely become more prosperous and prosperous when it is handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince. If His Royal Highness King Yan can wholeheartedly assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will become extremely vast in the future. Xu Maogong nodded and said.

"Maybe one day, my Datang will really become an empire on which the sun never sets. The whole world will be planted with the dragon flag of my Datang. Wei Chigong nodded and said.

"It's a pity that we are all old, I'm afraid we won't see the day of the Tang Dynasty." Xu Maogong said with a sigh.

"I really hope that now at the age of Baolin and them, then we can really expand the territory for Datang." Wei Chigong said with the same sigh.

"Only let our children and grandchildren witness the glorious moment of Datang for us." Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

……

"Great victory, great victory, great victory, great victory of the emperor." The Yellow Gate official held Li Zhi's good news in his hand and rushed into the Jinluan Hall with a shout.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting on the Jinluan Palace, discussing national affairs with the Manchu civil and military forces. Hearing the Yellow Gate official shouting a great victory, he immediately asked, "Is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has triumphed?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent back the good news in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles." After the Huangmen official finished speaking, he handed over the good news in his hand to Li Shimin's close eunuch Wang De.

After Wang De received the good news, he handed it directly to Li Shimin, who opened it and couldn't help laughing. Then he spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has successfully pacified the Xi Kingdom and the Khitan. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opened their mouths to congratulate Li Shimin. But Kong Yingda went out directly and said: "Your Majesty, this Khitan King and King Xi have rebelled, this time the emperor must let him come to Chang'an City to ask for guilt." ”

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come, and the prince used fire to burn the Khitan royal city. Now the Khitan king has died in the fire. The chiefs of the five major tribes of Xi have all been killed. Li Shimin laughed and said to Kong Yingda.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has achieved such a great victory. But I don't know how our army is attributing. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin.

After all, the strength of the Khitan and Xi States should not be underestimated, and the crown prince Li Zhi only led 200,000 horses. Now that such a result has been achieved, I am afraid that everyone will not believe it.

So even Wei Zheng felt that it must be Li Tai who sent troops to help. And the losses will definitely not be in the minority. After all, since the ancient road, the enemy has lost 1,000, and the self-loss of 800 is considered a big victory.

"I'm afraid you can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time can really be regarded as a bloodless soldier." Li Shimin said with a laugh.

Then Li Shimin asked his personal eunuch Wang De to report Li Zhijie to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to read it. When everyone knew what had happened, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Li Zhi would be able to strategize so well. I can't believe that Wei Chigong would have such a mind and come up with such a clever plan.

"This big guy's black head melon seeds, when did it become so good. I could have thought of such a clever plan. Cheng Yanjin said.

"It's called being impressed every three days, and as long as we work hard, anything can happen." Li Shimin said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically mentioned in the good news that the emperor would send someone to take over the territory of the Khitan and Xi States. I don't know who the emperor is going to let take care of these two places. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin.

"I'm afraid these two places are deserted now, so we just need to send an army to garrison them. As for the people, they can only move slowly from the interior. Li Shimin said.

Later, Li Shimin asked everyone to nominate to see who was more suitable to lead troops to guard the two places. In the end, under the nomination and suggestion of everyone, Li Shimin sent the veteran Gao Shilian to lead the troops.

After arranging everything, Li Shimin laughed and returned to the harem. The Manchu Dynasty also withdrew from the Jinluan Palace in an orderly manner.

After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Cheng Yanjin came to Wei Zheng's side. asked Wei Zheng in a low voice: "Big brother, why do I always feel that this battle is too easy. ”

"And I'm afraid that big guy black doesn't have that ability. What makes me even more puzzling is how the huge Khitan royal city was all burned? ”

"That's a matter of the two brothers, what does it have to do with you? Don't forget the phrase that trouble comes from the mouth. Wei Zheng said to Cheng Yanjin.

Although on top of Li Zhi's good news, only the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing were mentioned, escorting fireworks and staying in the army.

But I'm afraid no one will really believe that Li Tai has only done this. However, Li Tai actually did it secretly, that is, in order to complete Li Zhi's exploits.

How could the civil and military generals in the court not understand this truth. How could you say anything about it? After all, it's a two-sided flattering thing, and absolutely no one wants to do it.
