Chapter 588: Triumph
In November of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turkic generals Yarkin and Ashnadur led an army to disturb Hexi.
On November 23, the third year of Zhenguan, the general Zhang Gongjin wrote to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks.
The emperor used the Turkic attack on Hexi as an excuse, so he ordered the army to send troops to exterminate ****** in six ways. From Li Jing out of Dingxiang Road, Li Shiyun out of Tongmo Road, Chai Shao out of Jinhe Road, Li Daozong out of Datongdao, Wei Xiaojie out of Heng'an Road, Xue Wanche out of Changwu Road, all six managers, a total of more than 100,000 people, all belong to Li Jing Jiedu.
In December of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turkic Turki Khan, Yu She, and Yin Nai Special Service led their troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing raided Dingxiang, occupied Dingxiang County, captured Yang Zhengdao and Empress Xiao, and killed Princess Yicheng.
In February of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jinghui and Li Tao used Tang Jian as bait to make Jieli slack and unprepared, attacked Yinshan at night, and captured Jieli. His son, Luo Shi, fled and was captured by Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy general of Li Daozong's army.
Khanate, perished.
When you leave, it will be covered with ice and snow, and when you return, the flowers will bloom.
The tall and huge walls of Chang'an City appeared at the end of the field of vision, and the army slowly moved forward, all of which stopped with a wave of Li Jing's hand on his horse.
"Virtuous nephew, the next thing is all the work on the scene, the old man is not good at it, so I'll leave it to you." After Li Jing stopped, he turned his head and said to Xia Hongsheng behind him.
Xia Hongsheng nodded, rubbed his hands very excitedly, and responded: "Don't worry, the boss!" I've practiced all the way on the road, and I've been ready for this moment for a long time! ”
After that, Xia Hongsheng turned his head and shouted: "All of them, dress!" ”
The soldiers who stopped immediately put down their weapons on the spot. Not much. Wait until the time comes to pick up arms again. It's already a bright light armor.
Even Li Jing and the others were given powerful and bright armor by their own soldiers.
The helmets were also neatly worn, shining in the sun, and they looked mighty, like heavenly soldiers.
The army continued to move forward, and finally Chang'an City was in front of them.
Li Shimin's guard of honor was just outside the door, and hundreds of officials from the DPRK and China were separated on both sides.
In addition to the palace guards around, there are countless people crowded. A piece of black pressing.
Since the last time I saw Xia Hongsheng on the open day of the Military Academy and allowed the people of Chang'an to visit the military academy, Li Shimin has not made the people avoid this kind of occasion to show his merits.
Wouldn't it be better for the people to see with their own eyes what they have done?
A hundred steps away, Li Jing, Li Tao, Li Daozong, Zhang Gongjin, Su Dingfang and others turned over and dismounted. All the generals jumped off their horses and continued on foot.
Li Shimin's expression was also faintly excited, he raised his eyes to look at the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers who were coming in front of him, clenched his hands into fists and spread them again, and also walked forward to greet them.
The emperor moved. All officials follow.
Finally, between Li Jing and others and Li Shimin. Only one step left.
Li Jing lifted his skirt armor with a brush, knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, clenched his fists with both hands, and said awe-inspiringly: "The Turks are rude, obey the will of Your Majesty, and the six-way army, more than 100,000 people, crusade against the Turks." The soldiers fought hard, fortunately, not dishonored, captured the Turkic Khan Jieli and his son Dieroshi, and dedicated them to Your Majesty! ”
Even though he had already learned the good news, he was still excited when he heard Li Jing say it from his mouth.
The entire Chang'an city can be heard outside the city, whether it is the civil and military officials on both sides behind Li Shimin, or the people of Chang'an who came to watch the scene of the Tang army's victory and return to the dynasty, they all looked at Li Jing and others with solemn and awe-inspiring eyes at this moment, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers behind them.
In addition to the ministers behind Li Shimin, Xia Hongsheng saw the brothers of the Li family, as well as Xu Qixian and other friends, and they were also looking at this side excitedly at this moment, just in front of Xia Hongsheng's eyes.
"The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are all thanks to you, please hurry up!" Li Shimin stretched out his hands, grabbed Li Jing, Li Tao and others one by one, and helped them up.
The men looked at each other, then took a step back to each side to get out of the way.
Li Jing glanced at Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "The Turks are rude and have repeatedly violated Xinjiang. In the four years of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the army sent Turks, destroyed its country, destroyed its sacrifices, and captured its lord! The soldiers listened to the order, sang the Tang Army song, and offered prisoners for His Majesty! ”
"Order! Sing the Tang Army Song and sacrifice prisoners for Your Majesty! A hundred people later, a shout followed.
"Order! Sing the Tang Army Song and sacrifice prisoners for Your Majesty! "After another hundred men, the military order was passed backwards.
Military orders were transmitted to the whole army from front to back.
"If the motherland is violated, hot-blooded men should be self-reliant......"
The sonorous and powerful and majestic Tang Dynasty military song rose like a tornado, and it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and even the ground under their feet trembled.
In the midst of this thunderous roar of military songs, the Turkic captives were escorted out of the military formation, and the Turkic nobles stood together, followed by the Turkic generals, then the son of Jieli, and finally, the Turkic khan, Jieli.
"Your Majesty! Datang Wansheng! ”
"Your Majesty! Datang Wansheng! ”
"Your Majesty! Datang Wansheng! ”
After the military song, it was chanted three times, and then it stopped abruptly, and suddenly there was silence in the wilderness outside Chang'an City.
Li Shimin looked indifferent and stared at Jieli.
"There are five sins: Er's father's country is broken, relying on Sui Yi'an, and not helping him with a force, so that his temple society will not eat blood, one also; and my neighbor forsake the letter and disturb the side, two also; The soldiers are not fighting, the tribe is grudging, and the three are also; thieves and Chinese people, violent crops, four also; Xu and his relatives moved to escape, five also. Jieli, are you guilty? The voice was as awe-inspiring as a god: "I am not nameless when I kill Er, Gu Wei has not forgotten the alliance, so I am not responsible." ”
Jieli was already like he had no soul at the moment, and when he heard Li Shimin ask, Jieli, who was already about to collapse, collapsed, fell to his knees, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding Chang'an people and civil and military officials could no longer restrain their hearts that had already jumped out of their hearts with the excitement of Fang Cai's military song, and suddenly burst out with the shouts of His Majesty Long Live and Datang Wansheng, which could not be stopped for a long time.
Just like the ending in history, Li Shimin finally did not kill Jieli, but used Jieli to make a show of his magnanimity.
After capturing Taimiao, Li Shimin named Jieli as the assassin of Yuzhou, allowing him not to go to his post and let Jieli spend the rest of his life in Chang'an. The generals captured by the Turks, Zhi Sili, Ashinadur, Ashina Simo, and Qibi He Li were all sealed and left to serve in the army. The original Turkic territory was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the governors of Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang and Yunzhong were set up on it.
The reward ceremony of the Tang Dynasty soldiers will be rewarded separately on an auspicious day. (To be continued.) )
