Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face, not surprised at the arrival of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.
"May I ask Your Majesty, is there any success in the Turkic war?"
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on their faces.
"Great victory in Lingzhou!"
Li Shimin laughed heartily, "Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan and others fought a beautiful battle!"
With that said, he handed the letter in his hand to Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji.
"I just wanted to let them watch and arrest Tuli, as long as Tuli didn't go to rescue Jieli. Unexpectedly, Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan directly wiped out Tuli's troops and captured tens of thousands of Tuli's teeth.
Turkic soldiers and tens of thousands of Turkic people rescued more than 15,000 Han people! As for cattle, sheep, and horses, there were tens of thousands, and the wealth accumulated by Tuli was even more numerous!
With this wealth, all the money spent on sending troops this time has been earned back together."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, since General Xue and others can defeat Tuli so easily, then Prince Rencheng, General Li and others will definitely be able to annihilate Tuli!"
After reading the letters sent by Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others could not help but be filled with surprise.
The achievements of the Changwu Dao army led by Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan were beyond their expectations.
"With a hundred thousand armored army, coupled with steel knives and steel guns made of fine steel, those Turkic barbarians can only be beaten. Coupled with the clairvoyance and four-wheeled carriages provided by Xuanba, the Turkic barbarians can't escape even if they want to!"
As he spoke, Li Shimin was even more excited. Just imagine in his mind, he could imagine that such five armies with sophisticated weapons and fast logistics, led by the most powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty, could
What did those Turkic barbarians become like?
It's a pity that he didn't have a chariot to fight in person.
Um?
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly looked at Li Shimin.
"Everyone, during this war, I want the prince to supervise the country, and I want the emperor to fight in person!"
"Your Majesty, you are a saint of the Tang Dynasty, and the safety of all people in the world depends on you alone. The war with the Turks is extremely dangerous, and you must not be involved in the danger!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked bitter and tried to dissuade him.
According to Li Shimin's temperament, they can guarantee that as long as this person goes to the front line, he will definitely go to the battlefield in person, and he may even go into battle to kill the enemy with a sword.
"With such a great victory, the Turkic soldiers looked like they were falling apart when faced with our Tang soldiers. There was a huge army to protect us. Who could do me any harm?"
Li Shimin said with expectation.
However, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others still shook their heads firmly.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, knowing that it would be impossible for him to go to Dingxiang in person and watch Li Jing and others annihilate Jie Li and others.
Immediately, he started talking about what Xue Wanche reported in the letter.
"Everyone, Xue Wanche asked in the letter how to deal with the capture of so many Turkic prisoners and the rescue of so many Han people?"
"Back to your majesty, the minister thought that Tuli could be escorted to Chang'an City, and those Han people were carefully screened and incorporated into the baggage rear army. After the war was over, they were allowed to return to their places of origin. As well as the captured Turkic soldiers and people,
They can be used as laborers to build concrete roads and concrete houses!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "I wonder what your Majesty thinks of this matter?"
"Xuan Ling's method is indeed a good method."
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slowly, then frowned slightly, "It's just that since then, a piece of land as big as the Turks needs to be abandoned."
"this?"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were startled.
"Your Majesty, since Tuli has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the place where Tuli is located is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
“Then how should these lands be managed?”
Li Shimin asked.
As for relocating some Tang people to Turkic places, Li Shimin didn't even think about it.
Now, the population of the Tang Dynasty is insufficient, and there are not enough people to cultivate many fertile fields. If he dares to propose it, not only the common people in the world, but also the ministers of the famous families will oppose it.
"Your Majesty, can you allow those Turkic people to continue to stay in the Turkic land and herd horses and cattle for me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Changsun Wuji said.
"No, the Turks are all ambitious. Now we have finally eliminated them. If we put them back, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain!" Du Ruhui said quickly.
"However, it is even more impossible to move the people of the Tang Dynasty to Turkic lands!" Fang Xuanling said.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others remained silent.
"Your Majesty, can I ask His Highness King Jin about this matter?"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling remembered something and asked slowly.
"Um?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then lost his thoughts.
"That's good, Xuanba can always come up with some unexpected ideas."
Immediately, he asked Li Wei to prepare the car.
A group of people headed to Lijiazhuang.
…
Lijiazhuang, Jinwang Courtyard, in the living room.
Li Xuan sat on the sofa, his mouth wide open and his face confused.
"Tuli Khan surrendered directly?"
"Your Majesty, are the Turks so weak now?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be speechless.
"Xuanba, do you know that this time our Tang soldiers are all wearing iron armor, while most of the Turkic soldiers are wearing leather armor. With the help of clairvoyance, as long as our Tang soldiers suddenly attack the Turkic army, let them
If the cavalry method cannot be used to its best advantage, those Turkic barbarians will have no choice but to be slaughtered by our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
As he said this, Li Shimin's face was full of pride.
The way the Turks fight is like a pack of wolves, they like to fight with more and less, and they also like to make sneak attacks. If they can't be defeated, they will run far away and then wait for the opportunity.
This way of fighting is very annoying.
In the past, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered many heavy losses.
But now, with the clairvoyance invented by Xuan Ba and the quick steel-making technique, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were covered with iron armor, and the most powerful archery skills of the Turkic soldiers were no longer a threat.
Coupled with the invention of clairvoyance and four-wheeled carriages, the Turks could not sneak attack or escape.
To the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were nothing but lambs to be slaughtered.
"Then why did your Majesty come to Lijiazhuang?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Xuanba, there are quite a few Turks captured. I'm here to ask if you have any good ideas?" Li Shimin asked directly.
After hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned.
"How does Your Majesty want to deal with those Turks? If you want peace on the border of the Tang Dynasty, just dig a big hole on the spot, let the Turks lie in it, and then fill it with soil. Then more than 10,000 Han slaves should
I will be very active in digging holes.”
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but change their expressions, and shook their heads repeatedly.
"This method is too harmful to Tianhe, so it will definitely not work!"
At the same time, they all secretly smiled bitterly in their hearts, how could they forget this person, the most murderous person in the Tang Dynasty!
"Then Your Majesty can move those Turks closer to the Tang Dynasty and let them learn to farm and make a living by farming!"
"This is a good idea!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but look happy.
Then he slowly said: "It's just that I'm afraid that these Turkic barbarians are already used to the nomadic life and have no intention of farming. In the end, a lot of trouble will happen in the Tang Dynasty!"
"If you can't kill them or let them go, your Majesty can use those Turks as slaves, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!" Li Xuan said again.
