The army returned, just as Li Er predicted, on the morning of the fifth day. The first group of people greeted him from Chang'an City, and then entered Chang'an City at noon. In the afternoon, they paraded through Chang'an City, and Li Er led the main generals to worship at the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhihong and other generals rode at the front, followed by generals at all levels, and then followed by more than a thousand elites selected by each guard. A total of 8,000 people participated in the honorary ceremony.
Xi Junmai did not participate because he was not qualified.
The reason is simple, he is a slave. At least when the official documents are issued to him, he is still a slave.
Su Dingfang also did not participate because his rank was too low.
Rong's returning team will arrive in Chang'an first, and the army is still lagging behind. It is estimated that it will take another day.
The wounded and disabled soldiers walked even slower, and it was estimated that it would take two days to reach Chang'an City.
Hou Junji and other generals are still on the grassland. It is estimated that there are a few who have fled far away and have not received the order to return to the army. The nearest Hou Junji only knows that the decisive battle outside Shuofang City will be won by Datang.
. He was still rushing to Shuofang City, and he also didn't receive the transfer order.
The returning army was already twenty miles away from Chang'an City.
There was no smile on Li Jing's face, which was cold and resolute. Cheng Zhijie's face was darker than Captain Chi Gong's. Except for Li Jing, the expressions of the four generals were all serious.
Laugh, what’s so funny!
This victory is achieved, what is there to show off!
If there is any significance to this victory, it is that it solves the problem of the Weizhi Alliance, nothing more. The real strategic goal has only been achieved by 30%, which is still 30% short of the minimum strategic goal originally calculated by Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing's plan is to make the grassland incapable of raising troops for at least three years.
At present, one Jieli has been crippled, but Tuli Khan still retains his strength. A Uihe who is no less than Jieli has grown stronger. He was originally capable of fighting against Jieli's Uihe, and there is a faint possibility of replacing Jieli to unify the grassland.
momentum.
The leaders of the eight major tribes all went to visit the Huihe Khan, but nothing could be found about what was discussed.
But in all this, Datang won after all. The sergeants were happy because they had rewards to get, and the generals were happy because they had meritorious service for promotion.
Li Jing was unhappy because the civil servants slapped the generals in the face.
The King of Qin, General Tiance, was slapped hard by the civil servants on the Golden Palace. Li Jing was dissatisfied with this slap. Even though Li Jing was also a nobleman, Li Jing was first and foremost a soldier and a military general.
Cheng Zhijie was dissatisfied because he was injured in this battle and almost died. Even if he did not save his life for Qin King Li Yuanxing, Cheng Zhijie knew the suffering of wounded soldiers and the suffering of disabled soldiers, and he would not give him even a face and glory.
, the civil servants chilled the hearts of the generals, as well as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
The dispute between civil and military forces has been going on for a long time. This time, the rift between civil and military forces has become even wider.
Qin Qiong was also dissatisfied, because no one knew better than him what it meant to be injured, and the blood on his body had been shed for several fights. The blood was shed for the Tang Dynasty, so Qin Qiong knew what bleeding was.
Yuchi Gong was unhappy because the King of Qin was a happy man. If the King of Qin was unhappy, then Yuchi Gong would be unhappy.
Duan Zhihong had no choice but to do so. He was a wise general. He knew what a commoner was and what a noble or a humble person was. He also knew that King Qin Li Yuanxing made a mistake by challenging the hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the King of Qin really wanted to do it for the sergeants.
At Thirty Mile Pu, Wei Zheng went out to greet him on behalf of General Tiance's mansion.
Li Jing and other five generals, Wei Zheng, who didn't even say a word, Wei Heizi, you are also from the Tiance Admiral's Mansion, but you shrank at the critical moment, do you have any fucking eggs?
These were the words Cheng Zhijie scolded during his break last night. They were very unpleasant to hear, but they were echoed by many people.
At the twenty-mile pavilion, Changsun Wuji and other officials greeted him. Looking at the faces of Li Jing and the other five generals from a distance, Changsun Wuji did not come forward at all. Wang Jishan, as the Minister of Rites, went over to read the praise, but did not talk to him.
Five generals are nonsense.
What is there to say, there will be more after entering the battle of Chang'an?
Cheng Zhijie is also a child of a noble family. Although he is not a big noble family, he is a member of Li Yuanxing's noble family. But in the eyes of the Seventh Family, Cheng Zhijie is a barbarian. Reasoning with Cheng Zhijie is on the same level as playing the harp to an ox. Therefore, officials from the noble family will not go up.
Not fun.
Ten miles!
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to greet him in person, which was already a very solemn etiquette.
Li Jing dismounted, but did not see Li Yuanxing in the welcoming team.
Praises, triumphal songs, ceremonials, congratulations from hundreds of officials, all should be there, this is almost the highest etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and the triumphal return. Because this is the first major battle after Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, and he won
So perfect. As for the strategic goals, let him go to hell.
There are only a few people in Datang who truly understand strategic goals.
What the people see is only victory or defeat, and how many enemies are killed.
The ceremony to welcome the army lasted for a full hour. The generals and commanders participating in the ceremony cheered excitedly several times. Cheng Yaojin grinned several times and rushed to Li Er. He had something to say, and he had a lot to say.
He was blocked by Qin Qiong three times and glared back by Li Jing once.
For the last time, Li Er looked at him and shook his head gently, and Cheng Yaojin finally gave up.
What does Cheng Yaojin want to do?
Li Er knew very well that Cheng Yaojin was said to be a bastard, but he was a bastard with sentiments and righteousness. He would definitely fight against Li Yuanxing, and he would definitely be justified.
On the way back to Chang'an, Deputy Marshal Li Jing was qualified to ride with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Wulang didn't come and claimed to be sick. The message to the scholar's family was that Wulang was very dissatisfied and unhappy because his request to honor the wounded soldiers was rejected." Li Er responded and cheered.
People, he said to Li Jing.
Li Jing asked softly: "The real reason is that I am afraid that someone in the army will mess up the honorable return ceremony!"
"Tomorrow Wulang is going to kill someone, you help him. Under the pretext of attacking Wang Junkuo, I will send someone to tell you the details in the evening, and the other pharmacists will make arrangements. Then, you appease Zhijie and others, stay in Chang'an for a few days, and then go
In Prince Qin’s Mansion, there are important things that need to be handled with integrity and respect!”
"I accept the decree!" Li Jing responded.
Li Jing knew in his heart that it would not be easy for Li Yuanxing to return to Chang'an early, and he would fight fiercely with the family for several days.
Fighting without blood is more dangerous than fighting with real swords and guns.
After entering the Mingde Gate, the cheers of the people were louder and louder. The generals and sergeants participating in the honorary return were all carefully selected, with strong and heroic figures, bright armor, and neat steps.
This power brought peace to the people of Chang'an.
This power brings a kind of shock to foreign envoys, and it is also a kind of deterrence.
This is the Iron Army of the Tang Dynasty. In a sense, it allows the wounded and disabled soldiers to show off their wounds. Then where is the face of the Tang Dynasty? Should the wounded and disabled soldiers be allowed to show their wounds when they return home? Or should foreigners laugh at the Tang Dynasty?
Woolen cloth?
Among the cheering people, there were also some people in ragged clothes and some with mutilated hands and feet.
The King of Qin summoned the disabled soldiers from all over the Tang Dynasty to Qin Wangzhuang. The news had spread throughout Chang'an. These remnant soldiers came here to have a look at the King of Qin. Because of such a big event as the return of the emperor, it was impossible for the King of Qin not to show up as the general of Tiance.
.
But no one expected that King Qin was not among the returning team.
When the team approached the Zhuque Gate, Li Jing suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Li Er.
Without speaking or explaining, Li Er smiled and waved his hand gently. Li Jing knocked his head heavily on the ground, then turned around and got out of the carriage, holding a long sword in his hand. The entire team stood in order at the moment Li Jing unsheathed his long sword.
They stopped and no one took another step forward.
"Relieve!" hundreds of order soldiers shouted at the same time.
The army is disarmed!
Li Er slowly closed his eyes. If Li Yuanxing were not the King of Qin, if the King of Qin were not Li Yuanxing, if it were someone else, I would definitely kill him, because it is too disturbing to sleep.
Li Er didn't need to look at what happened next to know that it was the Tang sergeant's response to the King of Qin.
There was a neat sound of disarming, and there were eight thousand naked and muscular men. Each of them had scars on their bodies. This was the merit of the men, and this was the merit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Qiong's body was covered with scars and scars.
There were still blood marks on Cheng Yaojin's body. It was impossible to recover from such a serious injury in such a short period of time.
The whole of Chang'an fell silent instantly, there were no cheers, and no one even dared to talk at this time.
The sound of the drums struck deep in the hearts of the people.
Li Er sneered in his heart, impeachment. The aristocratic families will not do it, nor will other members of the noble family, because I did not say anything, because I trust the King of Qin Li Yuanxing. But the Li family will, and they will be afraid, afraid of someone who is also a member of the royal family.
What a great power it has.
At this time, there was a ceremony in which the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty swore allegiance to General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty and King Li Yuanxing of Qin.
This was a ceremony with the permission of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The Li royal family has no reason not to be afraid, because their sense of existence will become lower and lower, and all his power in the court will be taken away by Li Yuanxing. If the Li royal family does not fight back, then Li Yuanxing will become Li Yuanxing in the court.
The spokesperson of the royal family.
Military power! The most terrifying power in the Tang Empire, the power that makes others tremble and scares me the most.
"Changsun Pushe!" Wang Jishan, who was standing in front of Changsun Wuji, suddenly spoke. Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, indicating that he heard, and if you have anything to say, please speak. Wang Jishan continued: "If the King of Qin counterattacks the Li family's embarrassment
, how about the eldest grandson Pushe?"
"The Changsun family, Fang family, and Du family will all stand together with King Qin!"
Wang Jishan smiled and said: "The Wang family of Taiyuan is also going together, and I think the Cui, Lu, Zhao and Li families will also go together!"
The family is very willing to weaken the power of the Li royal family, and this is still a civil war between the Li royal family, so there is no reason not to do something to add insult to injury. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
