In the court.
He was unprecedentedly serious.
Cheng Yaojin's defeat was equivalent to casting a layer of haze over all of them.
Yuchi Jingde had not expected this either.
Cheng Yaojin vowed to go with 20,000 people.
This time, he was defeated so quickly.
The other party was just a group of bandits. He knew Cheng Yaojin's strength very well. Although the two of them had been fighting each other for more than ten years, they knew each other's strength very well.
Cheng Yaojin had no problem leading troops in battle.
Out of the 20,000 people, 10,000 were killed.
Just how difficult was this group of mountain bandits?
"Damn it!"
Yuchi Jingde gritted his teeth.
"How should we deal with this matter now?”
Li Shi Min asked in the Imperial Court, but everyone could hear the suppressed anger in his indifferent voice.
He had just ascended the throne, and the Great Tang was already being provoked like this.
Which ruler would be able to endure it, let alone Li Shi Min?
"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to deal with. For General Cheng to be defeated so quickly, he must have had the support of the Turkic army. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the bandits to beat General Cheng up.”
Wei Zheng explained.
"I don't need your explanation. What I want to know now is how to solve the current problem and eliminate those bandits! Kill their entire clan!"
Li Shi Min was filled with killing intent. Ever since he took over the throne, he had always maintained a benevolent government.
However, the mountain bandits of Jilei Mountain had truly infuriated him.
He wanted them to know just what kind of punishment they would receive for colluding with the Turks to rebel against the Great Tang.
"Jilei Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the Turkic army here, it will be difficult for us to rely on brute force. It was better to deal with the internal affairs first before dealing with the bandits.”
Wei Zheng suggested.
However, Li Shi Min didn't care about him at all.
The loss of ten thousand soldiers had completely destroyed the face of the Great Tang, and the Turkic army was probably laughing at him.
How would the commoners view him when the news reached the Great Tang?
If he didn't completely eradicate them.
He would not be at peace.
"Which general is willing to go to war again and take down Jilei Mountain completely?”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth and asked. He was prepared to pay the price. No matter what, the bandits of Jilei Mountain had to die.
Otherwise, he would have let him continue to be so arrogant.
Then, the people in the surrounding villages would be in deep trouble.
They were also trampling on the dignity of the Great Tang.
All the generals looked at each other.
Even Cheng Yaojin was frustrated as he watched Li Shiming in a state of rage.
If they were defeated and returned, they probably wouldn't end up as well as Cheng Yaojin.
He even had to endure Li Shi Min's anger.
Everyone knew that the current situation was urgent.
It wasn't a simple matter. Although he was just an ordinary bandit, he was involved in a war between two countries, and the enemy was the Turks.
If he was not careful, he would be doomed.
Yuchi Jingde also had a conflicted expression.
However, he was also furious in his heart. He had a bad temper.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject is willing to give it a try!"
Yuchi Jingde still braced himself and chose to give it a try. He definitely couldn't allow that mountain bandit to be so arrogant.
"Very good!"
Li Shi Min was overjoyed.
In the huge court, none of the officials were willing to step forward. They were all frightened by the bandits.
It made him even more embarrassed.
However, now that he had Yuchi Jingde, his personal ability was not inferior to Cheng Yaojin's. In fact, he was even more proficient in the art of war than Cheng Yaojin.
At the very least, with Yuchi Jing joining, the chances were much greater.
"They're just a bunch of mountain bandits, ants only need to be crushed. I don't believe that they can continue jumping around for long.”
Li Shi Min's gaze turned even colder.
"This time, I will give you a total of 50,000 troops. You only need to bring good news back to me.”
Li Shi Min didn't hesitate at all, handing over the 50,000 strong army to Yuchi Jing De.
It was more than twice as much as Cheng Yaojin.
"Yes, sir!"
Even though he felt that the burden on his body was extremely heavy, Yuchi Jingde still agreed.
However, he knew that if he couldn't take down the bandits this time, it would be difficult in the future.
The Turkic army might even choose to attack the Great Tang.
This time, they could only win, not lose.
Even when Yuchi Jingde fought alongside Li Shimin, he had never encountered such a situation.
His expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and his heart was incomparably heavy.
With Li Shi Min's decree, he went to the military camp and beat the drum to gather the soldiers.
.........
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the drum resounded throughout the entire military camp.
Everyone heard it clearly, and the expressions of the soldiers changed.
One had to know that the drum was extremely useful. Usually, it would not be used. Now that it suddenly sounded, the only explanation was that they were going to the battlefield.
The war had begun!
He had heard that General Cheng had led an army of 20,000 men out of Chang 'an.
Now, General Yuchi had summoned him again.
Perhaps it was a fierce battle. All the soldiers were no longer as relaxed as before. They quickly tidied up their things and ran towards where they were.
Tangning was currently sitting on a chair as she watched the 5,000 soldiers train. In less than 10 days, the results were already quite obvious.
Putting everything else aside, their morale had long reached an unprecedented level.
His aura was like a rainbow!
Their cohesion was extremely strong.
Tangning was already very satisfied with this result. She also heard the sound of the drum.
He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Following which, they stood up from their chairs and looked at Tangning,""My lord!"
Tangning waved her hand as the corners of her lips curled up.
There was a glint in his eyes.
Was he finally going to the battlefield?
He had been looking forward to it for a long time…
