After the Turks were wiped out, Li Jing and Li Ji joined forces in Yinshan, managing the captured Turkic soldiers and civilians, and waiting for the imperial court's edict.Although, the war has ended, and the good news has also been sent to Chang'an.However, the work of dealing with the aftermath is even more cumbersome, and Li Jing, Li Ji and others are very busy.On the fifteenth day of the first month, Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo's department, the new Liaozhou assassin Yelu Zhenge, and the governor Wu Shimeng each led 300 subordinates to visit Li Jing in Yinshan.The task of the three soldiers and horses of Yi Nan, Yelu Jinge, and Ushi Meng in this war is to attack and harass the northern Turkic and contain the soldiers and horses of the northern tribes.In the course of the war, the three divisions of Yi Nan, Yelu Zhenge, and Wu Shimeng, in accordance with the 16-character principle of guerrilla warfare secretly taught by Zhao Yunze, and the principle of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, and the enemy is tired and I fight", gave full play to the mobile advantages of the cavalry, and turned the northern Turkic part upside down.Although these three men did not occupy much substantial territory, they plundered extremely rich materials.All made a windfall.The reason why Zhao Yunze let these three troops not occupy territory, but only rely on the operational principle of plundering and attacking the enemy's living forces, was also to strive for the interests of Datang as much as possible.The Central Plains Dynasty values the territory and land the most, and as for the materials, since the family sends troops, it must always give them some benefits.Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng both relied on Zhao Yunze to make their fortunes, and they naturally followed Zhao Yunze's combat principles meticulously.Besides, their territory is far away in Liaodong, and it is useless to occupy the northern Turkic region.Although Yi Nan's territory is close to the Turks, but the Xue Yantuo Khanate is newly established, and it is the honeymoon period with the Tang Dynasty at this time, and Yi Nan has not violated the combat strategy arranged by the Tang Dynasty.Xue Yantuo is now sparsely populated, there is no shortage of pastureland, and Yi Nan has no intention of expanding.After the Yinshan camp was breached, Li Jing sent Wei Chigong and Zhao Yunze the next day, leading 2,000 cavalry, as well as Zhao Deyan, the dog-headed military division of Jieli, and other Turkic officials, to the north of Yinshan to collect and surrender those northern tribes.At the same time, it was also to convey Li Jing's armistice order to Yinan, Yelu Zhenge, and Wu Shimeng.Wei Chigong and others worked in the north for nearly ten days before they gathered a Turkic tribe in the north and escorted them back to Yinshan.In fact, at this time, those tribes in the north have already been miserable by the scourge of Yi Nan, Yelu Zhenge, and Wu Shimeng's soldiers and horses.In the end, less than 20,000 people were taken to Yinshan, and most of them were women, old and young herdsmen.Yi Nan, Yelu Zhenge, and Wu Shimeng, after each settling down their soldiers and horses, went to Yinshan to visit Li Jing.Because of the arrival of these three people, Li Jing set up a banquet, and everyone ate and drank again.Li Jing asked Yi Nan, Yelu Zhenge, and Wu Shimeng to temporarily camp in Yinshan and wait for the imperial court's edict together.It was not until the eighth day of the second month that the imperial court's envoy came to Yinshan.The one who came to convey Li Shimin's edict was Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.This Tang lord, if he follows the trajectory of the original history, the task of coming to the Turks at this time is to negotiate with Jieli.Later, Li Jing ignored Tang Jian's safety in the Turkic camp and resolutely raided the Yinshan camp.Although Tang Jian was finally rescued by An Ran, because of this incident, he had an estrangement with Li Jing, and he never eliminated it for the rest of his life.However, Zhao Yunze's crossing caused Li Jing to raid the Yinshan camp more than a month earlier than in the original history, which also made Tang Jian unable to experience the experience of being treated as an outcast by Li Jing in the enemy camp.The estrangement with Li Jing will naturally not occur.Tang Jian conveyed Li Shimin's edict to Li Jing and others.In the edict, Li Daozong, the head of the Datong Dao march, and Chai Shao, the head of the Jinhe Road march, were ordered to take over the Yinshan camp and wait for the next step of the imperial court's disposal plan.The rest of the armies led the soldiers and horses brought out from Chang'an, escorted the Jieli Khan and high-level Turkic officials to take prisoners, and the division returned to the court, and the government soldiers returned to their respective places.The foreign aid Yi Nan who participated in the war, as well as Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng, who had recently returned to the Tang Dynasty, went to Chang'an with Li Jing's soldiers and horses to accept the reward.From Li Shimin's edict, it can be seen that relatives are estranged and close.Li Daozong and Chai Shao, who took over the Yinshan camp, one is Li Shimin's cousin and the other is Li Shimin's brother-in-law.It's not that Li Shimin doesn't worry about others taking over the Yinshan camp, but that the victorious class returned to the dynasty, which is an extremely beautiful thing.The generals who go out on the expedition, everyone wants to enjoy this moment of great glory.But we can't leave the more than 100,000 captives on the Turkic side alone.Therefore, Li Shimin can only grieve his own family.After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Li Jing and others stayed in Yinshan for another eight days to prepare for the return of the class to the court.It wasn't until Li Daozong and Chai Shao arrived with soldiers and horses that Li Jing handed over to Li Daozong and Chai Shao, and then he officially became a teacher and embarked on the way home.On March 16, the soldiers and horses of Wei Xiaojie, the head of the Heng'an Road march, and Xue Wanche, the head of the Changwu Road march, returned to Chang'an.Li Shimin ordered them to camp ten miles north of Chang'an City to wait for the return of Li Jing and Li Ji's soldiers and horses.Li Shimin took the civil and military officials to the camps of the two armies in person.On March 18, the combined forces of Li Jing and Li Ji also returned to Chang'an.When the soldiers set out on the expedition, it was the early winter.The class teacher returned to Chang'an, but it was already the time of spring flowers.A big war that lasted for half a year.But this is far from over, and the imperial court has not yet come up with a specific governance strategy for the expansion of the territory.In the future, there will be some busy.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.After Li Jing and Li Ji's soldiers and horses returned, Li Shimin also ordered them to camp in the north of the city first, and Li Shimin brought the officials of the DPRK and China to the camp.On the morning of March 19, Li Jing took the main generals of the four troops and horses into the palace to participate in the early dynasty.In this early dynasty, they are the protagonists.In the early days, Li Shimin praised the generals who went out on the expedition and issued an edict on rewards.Li Jing was the commander-in-chief of the war, and it was understandable that he was the first in the ranks, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Weiguo, awarded the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu; Li Ji was awarded the title of British duke, awarded the title of Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, and served as the governor of the capital governor led by Li Zhiyao, the king of Jin, and governed the military and political affairs of the state on behalf of Li Zhi.The rest of the generals also have their own rewards, and they are not listed one by one.This time, Zhao Yunze's achievements are obvious to all, and he has set a military strategy, persuaded the Liaodong Turks and the two tribes of the Yan Dynasty to return to the Tang Dynasty, said that Yang Zhengdao was surrendered, and captured Jieli, which were all great achievements.Li Shimin named Zhao Yunze as the Marquis of Pingzhou in the edict, and conferred the title of General Dingyuan on the Fifth Rank, but his ministry was not adjusted.Zhao Yunze was a little surprised when he heard this reward.First, he made such a big mistake, and Li Shimin actually made him a marquis.Second, his ministry has not been adjusted, do you want to continue to be the Shicheng County Order, but I am already an official on the fifth grade, but according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Shicheng County Decree should be an eight-rank official.But soon, Zhao Yunze couldn't cry or laugh.After announcing the edict of rewards, Li Shimin encouraged the generals who received the rewards.Immediately, Li Shimin suddenly made a blank face and said: "Where is Zhao Yunze, Marquis of Pingzhou?"
and "The minister is here" Zhao Yunze hurriedly went out of work.Let's become a marquis."
Are you guilty?"
asked Li Shimin.Ah, I just got paid for my work, so I asked the guilt, "The minister doesn't know what the crime is," Zhao Yunze pretended to be confused."
Hmph, you led the special combat team to attack the Yinshan camp without authorization, causing 10,000 soldiers to be surrounded by the enemy in order to rescue you.If it weren't for Li Jing, Li Ji, Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang and others commanding Ruoding, 10,000 Tang soldiers would have been lost to the enemy because of your unauthorized actions.You still don't admit your guilt," Li Shimin said with a cold face.Oh, it turns out that Lao Li explained the attack on the Yinshan camp in this way.Isn't this still my original plan, "Minister, confess" Zhao Yunze had no choice but to admit his guilt.Li Shimin sighed again and said, "However, you also made a mistake, if you hadn't acted privately, Datang would not have been able to achieve a great victory in attacking Yinshan."
However, merit is merit, and fault is fault, and I cannot fail to pursue the responsibility for your failure to obey military orders and act without authorization. ”"I am willing to accept your majesty's punishment."
Zhao Yunze said.Li Shimin said again: "Fang Cai, I have already rewarded you for your work.Then I will punish you for your sins.Huang Dehai took a few steps forward, opened a volume of holy decrees, and read: "Zhao Yunze, the Marquis of Pingzhou and the general of Dingyuan, acted without complying with the general's orders and ignored military law.In order to set an example, he was demoted to the first rank and two levels, deprived Zhao Yunze of the title of Marquis of Pingzhou, and was reawarded the title of the founder of Pingzhou, and demoted his Dingyuan general Wu San title to the title of court doctor Wen San.Moved to inspect the history of Pingzhou Thorn and led the Pingzhou Zhichong Prefecture Governor.Choose a day to take up your post.Qin this"" Minister Zhao Yunze received the order, thank you "Dude, this is being demoted to an earl again, hehe, this has just been promoted, and the official seal has not yet arrived, so he has been demoted again."
This speed is unmatched.Zhao Yunze admires Li Shimin, don't want it, look at the old Li's means, the merits and demerits are clear, you can't accept it, yes, I will become the assassin of Pingzhou, although it is only an agent, but it is also a prince, and it is also a prince, and it is also the military management of Pingzhou.Lao Li really takes care of us, now it's okay, and the wife and children don't have to move anymore
