On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fourth year of Zhenguan, at four o'clock in the morning, the Turkic Yinshan camp was attacked by the Tang army.The battle lasted more than an hour and ended at dawn.In the battle, Li Jing's army won a great victory, and Jieli Khan and his son Diaoshi were captured.Nearly 100,000 Turkic soldiers and civilians also became prisoners of the Tang army.Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who fled from the Yinshan camp were intercepted by Li Daozong's Datong army on the way to escape, and 1,000 were annihilated, and the rest were also taken prisoner.So far, the Tang Dynasty has won a complete victory in the war to destroy the Eastern Turks.Although the battle is over, the aftermath is more complicated.Li Jing, Li Ji, Wei Chigong, Zhao Yunze, and Su Dingfang didn't care about having breakfast, so they started to summarize the battle in Jieli's broken tent and discuss the aftermath."
There are so many captives, we can't see it," Li Ji said with emotion.Zhang Gongjin, who had been ordered to stay in the barracks, led his troops to Yinshan.Li Daozong's Datong army will soon escort the captured Turkic deserters to Yinshan. ”Li Jing said."
That's good."
Li Ji nodded.Li Jing suddenly stroked his beard, frowned and said: "How do you feel that something is missing" Wei Chigong said: "Jieli has been caught, what else can be missed" Li Ji suddenly clenched his fists and said: "I remembered that Jieli's Kedun and the former Sui Yicheng princesses seem to have slipped through the net." ”When Zhao Yunze heard Li Ji's words, he immediately became nervous.At this time, Yang Xiaoming and others, who escorted Princess Yicheng out of the camp, had already returned.It was dark, and the camp was in disarray, but no one noticed their movements.can privately release Yicheng as a princess, after all, the sin is not small, and Zhao Yunze can't help but be nervous."
Yes, it's her" Li Jing suddenly realized."
Haven't you all seen her," everyone shook their heads.Zhao Yunze said weakly: "Could it be, she escaped from the camp" Li Jing said: "Since she was not caught, she must have slipped away." ”Wei Chigong said: "It's normal for us to be chaotic when we broke the camp, and slipped away from such a person."
Princess Yicheng is a female streamer, even if she runs away, she can't afford to make waves.We have caught Jieli and have an explanation to His Majesty. ”Li Jing shook his head lightly and said, "Yicheng, this woman, can't be underestimated."
Back then, if it weren't for her, Emperor Yang of Sui would have become a prisoner of Chuluo Khan.The former Empress Xiao of Sui and Yang Zhengdao were also welcomed by her to the Turks.I always feel uneasy if I didn't catch her" Li Ji said: "The entire Eastern Turks have been wiped out, and the former Sui has been dead for several years, even if Yicheng is capable, can he still make waves Senior Brother Yao, forget it, let's not pursue so perfection."
Let's think about how to report to Your Majesty that we acted without permission this time. ”As soon as Li Jing heard Li Ji's words, his brows furrowed deeply.Zhao Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had finally bypassed the topic of Princess Yicheng, and he hurriedly said: "What's so embarrassing about this, didn't you say it a long time ago, this time, it was a certain special combat team that acted without authorization, and then, in order to save our special combat team, the two chief managers attacked the Yinshan camp." ”Li Jing smiled and said, "Peng Yu, I was afraid that you would have ideas and affect the battle, so I should take responsibility for you."
But now that the battle is over, if you really put the blame on you, then do you want this old face?"
"But if I don't make some mistakes, my credit seems to be too great" Zhao Yunze said."
Hahahaha," everyone laughed.Wei Chigong patted Zhao Yunze on the shoulder and said, "You kid, everyone is only looking forward to making great contributions, you are good, but you are afraid that the credit will be too great." ”"Hey, hey, hey, you are all good people who I Zhao Yunze believed, so I told you what I really thought," Zhao Yunze said embarrassedly.Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Since Peng Yu is bent on defiling himself, then he can't fail him."
This time, the responsibility is borne by a certain and Peng Yu. ”"Senior Brother Yao, you also have to defile yourself," Li Ji said in surprise.Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "The merit of destroying the country is not trivial.Even Peng Yu, a junior, can understand things, how can a certain not understand it, this is not self-defilement, in fact, this rash action is indeed the meaning of a certain one. ”"Then how are you going to report to Your Majesty," Li Ji asked again.Li Jing said: "A certain person said that it was Peng Yu who suggested to a certain person to raid the Yinshan camp.A certain agreed to Peng Yu's suggestion, and then mobilized troops and horses to attack Yinshan. ”Zhao Yunze scratched his head and said, "Then this main responsibility is not the marshal again" Li Ji smiled and said: "Peng Yu, if Your Majesty is really embarrassed about how to reward you for your merits, you have the sin of instigating Senior Brother Yao to raid Yin Mountain, it is enough for Your Majesty to play." ”"Oh, just like when I was trying to get Shuofang three years ago, it was obviously you Li Dudu who did it with a certain person, but in the end, a certain person was scolded by His Majesty, and I have to say that it was Li Dudu who I instigated."
Zhao Yunze suddenly realized."
Peng Yu, you are looking for a certain to settle old accounts" Li Ji said embarrassedly, "That time, a certain was also reprimanded by His Majesty" Wei Chigong said angrily: "You two are enough, that matter is obviously a great achievement, what are you two complaining about each other, are you showing us in disguise" "Hahahaha" Everyone laughed.On this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Shimin's mood was particularly comfortable.The war was going well, and Jieli said that he wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty and had sent an envoy to Chang'an.has been pressed by the Turks on the head of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and once he turned over, how could he not make Li Shimin happy, and more importantly, the destruction of the Turks was done when he Li Shimin was the emperor, not his father Li Yuan.The son is ashamed of his father, which makes him more faced.This also proves to the world that he, Li Shimin, is a wise man.The haze of the Xuanwumen change three years ago has also gone a little.On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Shimin feasted royals.Not only the princes, princesses, and harem concubines in the Taiji Palace all went to the banquet together, but even Li Yuan and his concubines who had moved out of the Taiji Palace, as well as the princes, county kings, heirs, princesses, and their families who lived in Chang'an City, were also invited.Li Shimin is showing off his merits to the Tang royal family.At the banquet, the guests and hosts frequently raised their glasses, and they were happy.However, Li Shimin also noticed that Princess Jiujiang, who participated in the banquet, seemed to be depressed.After the banquet dispersed, Li Shimin called Princess Jiujiang to his dormitory."
Banniang, at the banquet just now, I seem to see that you have something on your mind," Li Shimin asked Princess Jiujiang."
Oh no, I've always been like that.Second brother, don't think too much. ”Princess Jiujiang hurriedly said.Li Shimin sighed and said, "I know that you are still angry with me because of your relatives." ”"Second brother, you really think too much.You didn't marry my eldest grandson Jiaqing this year, and I'm already very satisfied. ”Princess Jiujiang said.Li Shimin shook his head and said: "There is a war in the Tang Dynasty this year, and I told the eldest grandson Shunde that the soldiers in front are working hard, and it is not appropriate for the royal family to hold a marriage at this time."
This will postpone your marriage to your eldest grandson Jiaqing until next year.Although you are not happy with this family business, I also have difficulties.Alas, "When Princess Jiujiang heard Li Shimin's words, her face darkened."
Second brother, if there is nothing else, I want to rest."
Princess Jiujiang said."
Go ahead, want to open some" Li Shimin nodded.Princess Jiujiang left the Lizheng Palace.Li Shimin looked at the back of Princess Jiujiang leaving, shook his head and sighed
