Because the casualties exceeded expectations, Li Shimin was also very annoyed, even if Li Xiu persuaded it, it was useless, but soon someone sent another statistical battle report, which made Li Shimin also turn his anger into joy, and said loudly at the moment: "Not bad, Li Xiu, you also come to take a look!" ”

Li Xiu was also a little surprised to see Li Shimin's expression change, and immediately took the battle report and took a look, and found that this was the battle report that Cheng Yanjin had just sent, which recorded that he had intercepted the list of Goguryeo's materials, including more than 50,000 horses, more than 50,000 cattle, 10,000 sets of iron armor, and countless other materials such as grain and cloth.

Li Xiu was originally in charge of logistics, but now when he saw so many materials seized, his face was also happy, and after the others saw it, they also congratulated Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin's mood finally better, but he did not forget those casualties, and immediately asked people to rule the list, and the court would unify the pension.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin took Li Xiu and others to Li Ji's camp, and now Li Ji and Li Daozong have joined forces, and then surrounded the mountain where Gao Yanshou is located, there is no water and no food on the mountain, and it is estimated that they will not last long.

"See Your Majesty!" After receiving the news of Li Shimin's coming, Li Ji and Li Daozong also immediately came to visit, the two of them have hardly rested since yesterday, their eyes are red, especially the armor on Li Daozong's body is rusty red, it is dried blood, after all, he was also in the battle formation yesterday, and from yesterday to now, there is no time to rest at all.

However, although there was no rest for a day and a night, Li Ji and Li Daozong's spirits were extremely excited, after all, the two of them achieved such a big victory, and they were also sure to leave a name in history in the future.

"No need to be polite, you played very well yesterday, and you really lived up to my trust!" Li Shimin also laughed at this time, and then stepped forward to support his two lovers and praised.

Hearing Li Shimin's praise, Li Ji and Li Daozong also hurriedly said a few words of modesty, but the satisfaction and pride on their faces could not be hidden. However, at this time, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head to Li Daozong and said, "By the way, where is the white-robed young general with amazing blue eyes on the battlefield yesterday?" ”

When Li Daozong heard Li Shimin ask about Xue Rengui, he couldn't help but glance at Li Xiu behind him, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are talking about Xue Rengui recommended by the horse, this person is very brave, and yesterday thanks to him led the army to break through the enemy army, which allowed us to successfully cut off the army of Goguryeo, and now he is stationed at the foot of the mountain, but Your Majesty wants to summon him?" ”

In later generations, there is a book of "The Complete Biography of the Tang Dynasty", according to the content, although Xue Rengui was valued by Li Shimin because of his performance on the battlefield, he was impersonated by his nephew by his boss, and as a result, Xue Rengui was almost buried, but now Xue Rengui has Li Xiu as the backstage, I'm afraid no one dares to fight this idea.

"Hahahaha~, when I watched the battle yesterday, I wanted to see this Xue Rengui as soon as possible, you go and summon him, I want to see this fierce general with my own eyes!" Li Shimin also laughed at this time and said, he was originally a military general, and when he saw Xue Rengui's Xiaoyong yesterday, he naturally loved talent.

When Li Daozong heard this, he immediately sent someone to invite Xue Rengui over, and after a while, he saw the tall and burly Xue Rengui striding over, the armor on his body had been damaged in many places, and there were some small injuries on his body, but it was not serious.

But the most attractive thing is the white robe on his body, but at this time, the white robe has turned into a red robe, all of which are dried up with bloodstains, and they have been cut into several strips, which looks a little embarrassed, but it shows his bravery yesterday.

"You are Xue Rengui?" Li Shimin looked Xue Rengui up and down at this time, and asked with a little surprise on his face, Xue Rengui is burly and tall, almost comparable to Wei Chigong, no wonder he can be invincible on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the last general is Xue Li, the word is benevolent!" Xue Rengui didn't know why Li Shimin summoned him here at this time, so he was also at a loss, and looked at Li Xiu when he saluted, but Li Xiu only showed him an encouraging smile.

"Yes, yes, I also saw your performance on the battlefield yesterday, and you really deserve to be my proud protégé!" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing again at this time and praised him, although the students who graduated from the military academy were all his students, but in fact, Li Jing and Qin Qiong had always been in charge, and Li Xiu had previously called the other party Li Shimin's protégé in order to deepen Xue Rengui's impression in Li Shimin's heart, but Li Shimin didn't feel ashamed, but directly used it, it seems that Xue Rengui was taught by him.

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, the last general has only fulfilled his duty, if it is not for General Li's proper command and the desperate killing of the soldiers, the last general alone will not play a role!" Xue Rengui was also very modest at this time. Don't look at his five big and three thick, but in fact, he is a very shrewd person, and at this time, he also put the credit on Li Daozong and his soldiers, so as not to offend people.

"Hahaha~! It's rare that you are not proud of your credit, but I know your credit! When Li Shimin said this, his eyes were looking at the tattered white robe behind Xue Rengui, and he also spoke again, "I heard from the horse that you like to wear white robes, and I happen to have a white robe here, so I will reward you, and I hope you will fight for the country in the future and make more contributions!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand as he spoke, and immediately an attendant held a white robe in his hand and sent it to Xue Rengui, which made Xue Rengui stunned for a moment, and then took the white robe very excitedly, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Xue Li, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

Looking at the white robe in Xue Rengui's hand, the people around him also showed envious expressions one by one, of course a white robe is nothing, but this is rewarded by Li Shimin personally, in other words, it means that Li Shimin has written down Xue Rengui, this is called Jian in the emperor's heart, and Xue Rengui's promotion in the future will be much smoother than others.

Li Xiu saw this but laughed secretly in his heart, although Li Shimin's trick of buying people's hearts is very old-fashioned, but it has to be said that it is very useful, not to mention how Xue Rengui is, some of the generals around him have already breathed fire in their eyes, and they can't wait for themselves to make great achievements, and then get Li Shimin's reward.

To do a full set of plays, I saw Li Shimin personally help Xue Rengui up, and then asked the other party a few words very kindly, the question is very simple, it is nothing more than to ask him how his injuries are, whether there are any difficulties in the army, etc., Xue Rengui also answered one by one, and finally Li Shimin asked him to follow him, and then personally walked along the foot of the mountain, which also made all the soldiers at the foot of the mountain see that Xue Rengui can accompany His Majesty, which naturally attracted many people to be envious and jealous.

After performing the trick of buying people's hearts, Li Shimin asked Xue Rengui to go back, and then took Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Daozong and others to the tent to discuss matters. ”

"Your Majesty, Gao Yanshou failed to break through last night, and he hasn't sent anyone down yet, but there is no water or food on the mountain, and the morale of more than 40,000 remnants is also completely lost, according to my estimate, he will send someone to ask for surrender in three days at most!" Li Ji said very confidently at this time, Gao Yanshou on the mountain has become his own bag in his opinion.

"Three days is too long, I want to take advantage of this big victory to take Anshi City in one go, so you will send someone up the mountain to persuade you to surrender today, as long as Gao Yanshou is not stupid, you will know how to choose!" Li Shimin immediately spoke.

After this great victory, the morale of the Tang army also rose to the highest point, although morale is not visible or touchable, but it is extremely important, the reason why there are so many records in history to win more with less, in addition to some objective conditions such as the right time and place, morale is also a key factor in determining the victory or defeat.

"Obey orders!" Li Ji immediately received the order, as a veteran who had followed Li Shimin for many years, he didn't need Li Shimin to explain too much, he knew Li Shimin's plan, which was the tacit understanding between their monarchs and ministers.

"Chengfan, this time you can destroy the 150,000 army of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and your cavalry is also a great contribution, but then you have to let the cavalry recuperate well, and when Anshi City is broken, you will immediately attack Pyongyang City, and Su Dingfang's army will also set off from the sea, and then you will cooperate with each other to capture Pyongyang City in one fell swoop and capture Quangai Suwen!" Li Shimin instructed Li Daozong again at this time.

"Obey orders!" Li Daozong also immediately received the order, his subordinates are all cavalry, and they naturally can't use it when attacking Anshi City, and yesterday's battle also consumed a lot of physical strength of the cavalry, and the casualties were not small, for example, half of the nearly 2,000 soldiers killed in the battle were cavalry.

determined the next layout, Li Shimin immediately discussed military affairs with Li Ji and the two, originally this matter should have been done by Cheng Biting Jin, but Cheng Biting Jin was cleaning up the battlefield in the rear, and he couldn't come back for the time being, so it was replaced by Li Shimin, of course, even if Cheng Biting Jin was here, it is estimated that he would make the same choice.

After the matter was discussed, it was already evening, Li Shimin came out of the tent and looked at the besieged hill, because the mountain was not high, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, he could even see that the mountain was full of Goguryeo's defeated soldiers.

However, just when Li Shimin was about to turn around and leave here, he suddenly heard a commotion on the besieged mountain, which made him stunned, and then turned his head to look, only to find that something seemed to have happened among the remnants of the besieged Goguryeo, especially at the top of the mountain, and there were even shouts of killing?
