Chapter 684: "Brothers"

Xue Yantuo is defeated! Yinan Khan and his two sons were captured alive, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers all laid down their arms and surrendered.

The news flew like wings to the whole world.

The world is shocked!

Xue Yantuo, who has been in the north for many years and has deep strength, was actually defeated? And when he attacked Chang'an, he was defeated, but was pursued by the Tang army until the whole army was destroyed, and only less than 10,000 people were captured?

And Xue Yantuo's royal family, Yi Nan and his two sons all became prisoners of the Tang Dynasty, were taken to Chang'an, and became prisoners?

When the news broke, the whole world was boiling! Especially the cities in the north that often suffer from wars, all of them cheered, praising Li Shimin and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

This scene deserves to be written down in history! And the two generals who defeated Xue Yantuo, Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji, were also praised by tens of thousands of people.

The war has passed, but the wounds of the war have not diminished. When Xue Yantuo went south to Chang'an, he slaughtered ten cities and destroyed several empty cities, and countless people suffered and grieved in the destroyed cities.

Although the Tang army won the victory and annihilated the main force of Xue Yantuo, the Tang army also paid an extremely painful price, with tens of thousands of soldiers killed and wounded.

Li Shimin ordered the burial of these warriors who fought for the country, shaded their sons, comforted the elderly who lost their children, and asked local officials to do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath and taking care of the families in need.

Li Shimin's series of actions moved people all over the world, and they praised him as a good emperor.

A good emperor is indeed a good emperor, but a good emperor will also be troubled by some things, and he will be angry, and even angry.

For example, the matter of Longyou.

After Longyou's battle report came back and learned that the Western Regions Coalition Army seemed to be afraid of capturing several cities in the territory, Li Shimin angrily overturned the entire table.

"Western Regions! I will kill you and wait for the night! After a while, Li Shimin calmed down under the comfort of the little cute sister Li Mingda.

He was really angry, the countries of the Western Regions suddenly formed a coalition army, and bloodied several cities in Longyou, causing immeasurable losses, not to mention, Xue Yantuo went south this time to see that he had transferred all his troops to deal with the Western Regions coalition army, and the Guanzhong soldiers were weak in air defense =, so they went all the way south and killed at the foot of Chang'an City!

Fortunately, relying on the thunderbolt fire, he held the city and severely damaged the Xue Yantuo tribe, otherwise the future war would be extremely cruel! Whether Chang'an will change hands is uncertain!

Now more than ten cities in the north are deserted, and the people are struggling to make a living. Li Shimin felt the pain in his flesh and couldn't bear it at all.

This battle was enough to make the development of the strength of the Tang Dynasty stagnate for several years! Li Shimin felt anxious about this, and countless chores were piled up on his body, and he felt extremely tired.

And the cause of all this is due to the Western Regions Alliance, hearing the battle report of Longyou, how can Li Shimin not hate? If it weren't for the fact that there was still a pile of messes to clean up in the country, he would definitely add an order to Hou Junji and let him lead his troops to sweep away the Western Regions!

There are still many cities in the north and the Western Regions to be rebuilt, the population must be redeployed, and the captives captured by the Xue Yantuo tribe must be properly disposed of, and tigers cannot be raised as a new scourge. And the large grasslands in the north should be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the regime of the Tang Dynasty should be established, and there are still a bunch of messes waiting to be cleaned up at the two checkpoints in the Western Regions....... There are so many things! Li Shimin can't wait to be able to change into himself again, so that he can share the current pressure.

In the end, he recruited Li Chengqian, the crown prince who had been disliked for a long time, and handed over some trivial matters to him to deal with.

Since Li Chengqian beat the teacher last time and annoyed Li Shimin, he has been forgotten by Li Shimin in the corner, locked up in the prince's mansion all day long, indulged himself, and gave up treatment.

Now that he has been summoned by Li Shimin to deal with political affairs, it feels like a second spring, and he is not limping when he walks, but jumping up and down.

In his opinion, Li Shimin can remember again that he asked him to deal with affairs must be because he forgave him for what he did, no matter how high Li Tai, the king of Wei, jumps high, the crown prince is still his own!

As long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary in the future, and honestly waits for Li Shimin to kick his legs, the throne will definitely be his!

It's a pity that when he came to the palace, his heart was half cold.

Because there is not only Li Shimin sitting inside, but also Li Tai, the king of Wei, who he least wants to see! When the two met, Li Tai first smiled at Li Chengqian's skin and flesh for a while, and then bowed his head..... Pretend you don't see him!

It's too much! Li Chengqian's pinched fingers are white! In any case, he Li Chengqian is the elder brother, and he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai must politely bow when he sees him, this is the rule, this is the etiquette, and now, Li Tai actually ignores him in front of his father, which makes Li Chengqian feel angry and want to breathe fire!

"Huh? Brother Huang is here? Zhi, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince! Li Zhi sat beside Li Shimin, writing something, it seemed that Li Shimin was teaching him to write some things in government affairs, and when he looked up, he just saw Li Chengqian, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

At the same time, Li Shimin also raised his head and noticed Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't dare to slack off, let go of the eunuch who was supporting him, and saluted Li Shimin. "Erchen, I've seen my father!"

"Get up, you have a leg disease, don't stand all the time, Haifu, look at the seat." Wanfu hurriedly stepped forward and guided Li Chengqian to take a seat, and at this time, Li Chengqian had time to smile gently at Xiaomengtai Li Zhi.

He was very grateful to Li Zhi, if he hadn't called himself, I'm afraid Li Shimin wouldn't have noticed him, and standing there would only add to the embarrassment.

is also a younger brother, Li Zhi is relatively much more liked, Xiaomeng is too indisputable, has a sweet mouth, and often says good things for his two brothers in front of Li Shimin, so he is naturally liked by the three parties.

Well, although this trick was taught by Chen Fei, Li Zhi is kind by nature, so it can be regarded as an explosion of nature, and he won the love of his father and two brothers.

"Qian'er, a lot of things have happened today, my father is too busy, you help your father deal with some official documents, the official documents on the copywriting in front of you are all selected, with your current ability to be completely competent, these affairs will be handled by you, if you don't understand, you can open your mouth at any time." Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian hurriedly replied: "Father, rest assured, sons and daughters will do their best to share their father's worries!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, didn't say anything, but continued to teach Li Zhi carefully, Xiaomeng listened very seriously, and humbly asked Li Shimin some questions from time to time.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai coldly, and found that what was on his desk was not an official document, but other books, and he couldn't help but feel a hanging heart fall to the ground, completely relieved.

My father only asked me to deal with political affairs, and the metaphor of it didn't need to be said, no matter how favored he Li Tai was, he was just a prince, and he was just a vassal king and a territory, how could he be compared with himself, the future dragon lord of the Tang Dynasty?

"I'll kill you when I take the throne!" Li Chengqian sneered continuously, then lowered his head and took care of his own political affairs.......
