There would be another update later.
……
In Taiji Palace, Li Yuan's carefree laughter could be heard.
Just a moment ago, the imperial censor had accused Li Changqing of being a dictator, fearing that he had disloyal intentions.
In the next moment, there was an urgent report from the eight hundred li of the border. The Dragon Cavalry Guards had moved three hundred li and slaughtered seventy thousand Turks!
He stood up with a whoosh, waved his dragon robe, and said,"Draw up the decree. The Dragon Cavalry Guards are brave and good at fighting. Everyone will be rewarded according to their military achievements!
General Li Changqing of Tiance Army was the brave leader of the three armies. With 5,000 dragon cavalry guards, he killed 70,000 Turks. This is a great contribution! Give him nine tin and grant him the right to recruit soldiers!”
Nine tin represented nine kinds of ritual vessels, and these nine kinds of ritual vessels were basically dedicated to the emperor.
Li Yuan gave Li Changqing nine tin, the meaning is deep, people dare not speculate.
And Xu Li Changqing's right to recruit soldiers shocked the entire court.
In a prosperous era, whoever dared to recruit soldiers was a rebel and wanted to exterminate their entire clan!
With this power, Li Changqing's army would expand rapidly!
Li Shi Min's face was dark and gloomy.
Even though he wanted to stand up and refute Li Yuan's reward, he did not dare to. Under such circumstances, anyone who dared to retort would incur Li Yuan's displeasure and incur his reprimand and punishment.
On this day, every household in Chang 'an City was decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate the great victory at the border!
Heavenly Strategy General Li Changqing's achievements shook the entire imperial court and spread throughout the universe!
……
Prince Qin's mansion.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were playing chess.
Zhangsun Wuji took the white stone and fell, slaughtering the black stone dragon. Li Shimin was in a good situation and instantly fell into a disadvantage.
"King Qin, the world is as unpredictable as a chess game. Now that General Tian Ce has gained the upper hand and made great contributions, we can only take advantage of the situation and not find trouble with him in front of His Majesty.”
"Li Changqing's prestige is so great that even my father can't compare to him."”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said,"Don't worry, King Qin." The Dragon Cavalry Guards had moved three hundred li, slaughtering ten Turkic tribes and seventy thousand heads in a single day. This would definitely attract the attention of the Turkic court and send troops to encircle and suppress them.
The war between the White Robed Army and the Turks was not far away! At that time, the King of Qin could occupy the Imperial City with lightning speed and force His Majesty to abdicate! No matter what the situation at the border was like, General Tian Ce was unable to turn the tide.”
Li Shimin took the black chess piece and placed it down. The only thing he could do now was to wait for the right opportunity. With Sixth Brother's personality, he would definitely fight the Turks to the death. This opportunity was not far away!”
Now, all the people in Chang 'an City were shouting the name of Li Changqing, the General of Heavenly Strategy, and singing about his achievements.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji played chess silently, ignoring the deafening shouts from the outside world.
……
The destruction of the Karaj tribe was only the beginning.
In the following period of time, Li Changqing led the Dragon Cavalry into the desert, clearing out one Turkic nomadic tribe after another.
Wherever Li Changqing's army pointed, regardless of age, women, and children, they would all be killed!
Wherever the Dragon Cavalry Guards stepped on, not a single blade of grass grew, leaving behind only a capital built from heads!
For a time, the tribes on the outskirts of the Turkic territory felt threatened and feared the Dragon Cavalry Guards like tigers.
Three hundred and fifty li to the north of Youzhou was a large Turkic tribe.
The tribe had 100,000 soldiers. In the entire desert, it was a powerful force that could not be ignored.
The leader of the tribe was the eighth son of Jie Li Khan! He was one of the strongest competitors to inherit the throne!
Eighth Prince Wugu Si was originally rebellious and arrogant. In addition to being favored by Jie Li Khan, he became even more arrogant and despotic.
At this moment, he was in the king's tent, admiring the dance of the Han women who had been kidnapped from the border.
He drank a bowl of wine and sighed. One day, I will lead my army south and conquer Youzhou!”
All the people in the king's tent agreed.
"The Eighth Prince is brave and brave. Youzhou will be destroyed by the iron hooves of the 100,000 soldiers under the Eighth Prince sooner or later!”
The Eighth Prince laughed loudly. Suddenly, someone came in from outside the tent and reported to him.
"Eighth Prince, traces of the Tang Dynasty Dragon Cavalry Guards have been discovered a hundred miles south of the main tent!”
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince put down the wine jar in his hand abruptly. His eyes became sharp as he said,"
"After three days, the Dragon Riders have finally appeared again!
Recently, the Tang army's Dragon Cavalry Guards have been roaming the desert and slaughtering our Turkic nomadic tribes.
The Dragon Cavalry Guards are the elites under the command of the Tang Empire's Heavenly Strategy General Li Changqing. The 10,000 soldiers I sent were all destroyed.
Such an elite army could not be destroyed without a large army. A hundred miles south of the king's tent was the Kipcha tribe. The Kipcha tribe was one of the eight surnames of the royal court. It had a population of 50,000 and 10,000 elite soldiers.
Although the Dragon Cavalry Guards were brave, it wasn't easy to destroy the Kipcha tribe.
Pass on my order, all ninety thousand troops will go to the Kipcha tribe and surround the Dragon Cavalry Guards.”
Soon, the Turkic Eighth Prince led his ninety thousand soldiers to the Kipcha tribe and began to surround the Dragon Riders.
