Chapter 558 Triumphal Arch and Huimeng Monument 1 Kong Sheng led the forbidden army of 5,000 cavalry, taking advantage of the power of artillery bombardment, to drive out the frightened and defeated Hui army horses to the northwest in the direction of the Hui Hui camp, and chased for dozens of miles, only then did the point end, and collected the troops back to the city.
Kong Sheng knew that it was unrealistic to completely drive the Hui people out of the territory of Datang because of this.
But at least this time, it has taught the Uighurs, especially those who are hardliners like Gu Lulu, a profound and painful lesson.
In Kong Sheng's view, this has an irreplaceable and important role for Datang in reshaping the national prestige.
The Hui people are a nation that advocates force, and they only have reverence for the strong, not grudges.
Don't look at Kong Sheng's extermination of thousands of Hui cavalry because of this, but what brought the Hui people was more fear and awe, and of course, hatred.
It's just that compared with hatred, fear is more remembered by the Hui people.
As the sun set, the autumn afterglow bathed the entire Lingwu City in a faint layer of golden light.
Lin Yong led Zhou Zheng and other Lingwu generals and tens of thousands of Lingwu soldiers to line up on both sides of the city gate to welcome the triumph of Kong Sheng and other forbidden troops.
At the banner booth, the sound of horses' hooves rushed like thunder.
Lin Yong, Zhou Zheng and the others quickly exchanged an emotional look, they not only underestimated Kong Sheng personally, but also underestimated the overall combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.
This elite cavalry under Kong Sheng's command has far exceeded the expectations of the Lingwu generals with strong combat effectiveness and strict military appearance.
Only then did Lin Yong understand that it was not unreasonable for the emperor to trust and rely on Kong Sheng so much, and he did not hesitate to let Kong Sheng take over the military and political power of Lingwu.
Lin Yong was originally a little worried that Kong Sheng would anger the Hui people and trigger a more fierce counterattack by the Hui people, but judging from the current situation, the power of artillery has made the Hui people frightened, and the Hui people who have paid a heavy price must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Moreover, if the Lingwu City Tower is equipped with such artillery, in fact, why not be afraid of the Hui cavalry Thinking of this, Lin Yong's mood was inexplicably a little excited.
He even thought further, if the entire Tang army was equipped with indestructible and infinitely powerful artillery, where the Tang army went, who would dare not look at the wind and return to obedience In this world, I am afraid that there is no country and strength to compete with Datang.
Because of the unknown and strong visual sensory stimulation, everyone invisibly exaggerated the value and role of artillery, but Kong Sheng remained calm and sober about it.
Artillery can play more of a deterrent and deterrent role, and it is not realistic to use it as a conventional weapon.
At least at the current level of casting processes, it is unlikely.
Moreover, in terms of the artillery that Kong Sheng can cast now, its accuracy, accuracy, striking ability, and range are actually too far behind.
But in this era, it is enough as a kind of auxiliary weapon and a tool for diplomatic games.
Such a brave person, such an unfathomable person, such an earth-shattering talent, rare in the world, once in a hundred years.
Lin Yong led Zhou Zheng and others to meet him.
"Lin led the generals of Lingwu to welcome the general's triumph," Lin Yong and the others turned over and dismounted, and bowed.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, and he naturally understood why Lin Yong and the others were so condescending.
But as Kong Sheng, it is impossible to hold on to the past.
He turned over and dismounted, and returned the salute with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is exempt, please get up" "The great general is mighty, and no one in the world can match it.
This expulsion and annihilation of the Hui military horses has made great contributions to the imperial court, and greatly increased the national and military prestige of my Tang Dynasty" Although Lin Yong's words are heartfelt, they are inevitably a little flattering.
Kong Sheng smiled: "Most of the governors have won awards."
Kong also took advantage of the trend, this time the people were too arrogant, if they did not blow their arrogance, they would have to gain an inch in the future Moreover, they showed off their might on the soil of our country, and the soldiers came to the city, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you and I have the responsibility to defend the land, and it is our duty to annihilate and expel it, what a merit" "Today's events, today's battles, should be reported to the court.
The general Lingwu resisted the enemy outside the city, and defeated the 30,000 army with thousands of elite soldiers, which should be a model for all generations.
Lin has already sent an order to change the name of Lingwu East Gate to Triumphal Arch, and the whole city celebrates for two days to clean up the dust for the general and the soldiers of the forbidden army" Lin Yong laughed: "General, please return to the city" Hearing that Lin Yong had actually renamed the gate of Lingwu City as the Triumphal Arch, Kong Sheng smiled slightly, but he was noncommittal.
In fact, it doesn't matter, and it deserves its name.
This is not his personal victory, but the embodiment of the national and military prestige of the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as the triumph of the Tang Dynasty today.
But Kong Sheng was reluctant to report the matter to the imperial court.
There is no big problem on the emperor's side, but the group of rigid ministers in the court are really difficult, if they know that Kong Sheng has not completed the peace and fought a battle with the Hui people outside Lingwu City, although it is a small victory, it will inevitably cause thousands of criticisms.
Princess Ning Guo stood on top of the city tower, looking at the slow return of Kong Sheng and the forbidden army outside the city, her eyes fell on Kong Sheng's handsome and resolute face, Ning Guo couldn't help but look stupid, and also had mixed feelings.
Ning Guo got the news that Kong Sheng went out of the city to fight with the Hui people, and immediately rushed to come, she just caught up with Kong Sheng to kill the bone pestle, and then ordered Nan Yong to bombard the Hui army formation, and personally led the 5,000 forbidden army to pursue all the way, and chased the 30,000 Hui army to a defeated army, with heavy casualties.
Only then did Ning Guo deeply understand why his father would be so tolerant and dependent on Kong Sheng.
I think that at the beginning, Kong Sheng resisted the will and marriage, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would have become a headless ghost long ago, but Kong Sheng is not only safe and sound so far, but the emperor's favor has not diminished at all.
A talent like Kong Sheng is rare in a hundred years, and his father has his assistance, which is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
Ning Guo thought silently, turned his head and said softly to the maid beside him: "Get up, go back" A beautiful girl with slightly high cheekbones, blue eyes, black hair, a slender figure, and a pale complexion silently mixed with the princess's maid retinue, and slowly walked down the tower.
She was Gu Yun, a Hui woman rescued by Kong Sheng in Yongzhou City that day, because it was inconvenient to stay by Kong Sheng's side, so she sent Ning Guo as a maid to summon her.
In fact, it is basically difficult to get close to the princess.
Because there are more than 100 palace maids brought out by Ning Guo from Chang'an, and for the sake of safety, the people who are close to Ning Guo are familiar palace maids and eunuchs in the palace and the princess's mansion, and girls of different races and unknown origins like Gu Yun, even if Ning Guo is willing, it is impossible for the chief eunuch next to her to agree.

It's nothing more than doing some chores in the entourage around Ning Guo.
Although most people didn't notice Gu Yun's strange look when he watched Kong Sheng lead the army to pursue the Hui Jun Horse, it fell into Mu Changfeng's eyes.
Mu Changfeng is a habit of Jianghu people, coming and going freely, elusive, he observed that Gu Yun, a Hui woman, seemed to have some mysterious whereabouts in the past two days, so he secretly monitored it.
In fact, when Kong Sheng rescued this Hui woman, Mu Changfeng was very unimpressed.
In Mu Changfeng's view, Kong Sheng's trip to the unknown Hui is quite risky, and there is a Hui woman of unknown origin by his side, in case it will cause a big disaster.
But Kong Sheng didn't pay too much attention to it.
Intuitively, he judged that Gu Yun might have some unknown origins, and the life experience she said may not be the truth, and there may be some kind of concealment in it.
But with Gu Yun, an ordinary Hui woman who can't help but be weak, Kong Sheng expects that she will not be able to turn the sky upside down, let alone be a spy of Hui Hui.
In fact, Kong Sheng also secretly observed Guyun for many days, and saw that she was not suspicious, so he sent it to Ning Guo with confidence.
Ning Guo and his entourage returned to the backyard of the Yamen of the Lingwu Governor's Mansion, where they were temporarily stationed.
The princess went to rest, and the palace maids, eunuchs, deacons and miscellaneous servants around her performed their duties, followed the steps, and did what they should do.
Mu Changfeng found that Gu Yun entered the firewood room in the backyard alone, knelt silently on the ground, first looked silent against a wall, and then seemed to choke out with sadness, and finally suppressed and did not cry, but judging from her trembling and shaking thin shoulders, she should be in a very painful mood.
Who is this woman?
Mu Changfeng's heart flashed.
In the past two days, he felt more and more that Gu Yun was not an ordinary Hui woman, and she was exiled to the territory of Datang and became a female slave, and there may be unknown secrets.
And although her clothes are ordinary and simple, from her speech and demeanor, you can vaguely see a certain unusual temperament. oshow7 t1706231537:
