The voice of the messenger soldier resounded throughout the entire hall.
His excited voice echoed continuously.
Li Shiming subconsciously wanted to wave his hand and say that he already knew.
The matter of Yuchi Jingde's defeat was a very normal thing in his view.
He could not blame anyone.
It could only be said that the bandits were too difficult to deal with.
Li Shi Min's heart was heavy as he slumped on the throne, his face clouded with worry.
All the officials in the hall didn't have any hope.
However, they had no way out.
If they couldn't survive this, the entire Great Tang would fall at Li Shiming's hands.
At that time, not only would he not be able to achieve his ambition of becoming the first emperor in history, he would even be criticized by thousands of people.
However, he heard the messenger's words.
His hand froze in mid-air.
His eyes widened as if he could not believe his ears.
The civil and military officials were also in an uproar, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"What did you say? Repeat it again!”
Li Shi Min sat up, his eyes fixed on the messenger, his body trembling.
"Your Majesty, the battle at Jilei Mountain was a complete victory. 1300 mountain bandits were wiped out, and our side suffered 561 casualties!”
the messenger repeated.
Boom!
Everyone in the hall exploded.
The messenger repeated it twice.
Their faces were filled with excitement.
Good news!
It was actually good news!
Li Shi Min couldn't control his excitement.
This was definitely the best news he had heard in a while.
The Turks and the bandit had been like a rope around his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe. If he wasn't careful, he would die.
But now, the noose was loose.
Although it was still dangerous, it was enough for them to move freely.
Things had to be resolved one by one.
He had not expected that Yuchi Jingde would only use a day to deal with such a troublesome mountain bandit.
"Your Majesty, the heavens bless the Great Tang!"
Wei Zheng stood up shakily, extremely excited.
The rest of the officials were not any better than Wei Zheng.
They were the subjects of the Great Tang, and they understood the principle that they were bound together for good or bad.
If the Great Tang perished, they would be the subjects of a subjugated nation.
"Yuchi Jingde has indeed done well this time, exceeding Zhen's expectations. When he returns in triumph, I will reward him well!”
Li Shi Min's face was full of smiles.
The gloominess from before was swept away.
Suddenly, the sky was clear and the entire hall was filled with celebration.
"Tell me more about the situation of the two sides.”
Li Shimin looked at the messenger with interest. He was curious how Yuchi Jingde had managed to get rid of such a troublesome bandit so quickly.
The messenger did not dare to be impatient at all. He could only report the situation of the battle on both sides for the third time.。
At this moment, Li Shi Min finally realized.
"An army of fifty thousand, only losing five hundred men?”
Li Shi Min asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty. These 500 plus people were ambushed by the mountain bandits that day, and we lost 500 plus people without any resistance.”
"After that…Our side took down Jilei Mountain in one go and wiped out more than 10,000 of the enemy's men. No one on our side was injured.”
The messenger lowered his head.
He didn't know how much of an impact his words had on Li Shi Min and the other officials.
The enemy had 10,000 men, and they were in such a favorable terrain.
Li Shi Min had even prepared to lose 20 to 30 thousand soldiers.
However, 500 people were nothing.
If a real battle was counted, they would take down the other party without wasting a single soldier.
This wasn't just good news, it was simply a joyous occasion.
Yuchi Jingde had definitely made a great contribution this time. Li Shimin didn't even know how to reward Yuchi Jingde.
He had done something that was almost impossible.
Li Shi Min couldn't wait for Yuchi Jing De to come back and ask him how he did it.
Although he was curious, it was like a cat scratching an itch.
However, he still forcefully held it in and was filled with great joy.
"The heavens truly bless the Great Tang. The Great Tang is prosperous and should not perish. If we can survive this, we'll let them know the strength of our Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min's eyes were cold. He had always held a grudge against these people.
Everyone was excited.
But there was only one person, Cheng Yaojin.
His expression was a little unnatural.
Although Yuchi Jingde had defeated the mountain bandits, it was worth celebrating.
However, he had previously led 20,000 troops and volunteered to go out to encircle and annihilate them, but he had suffered an unprecedented defeat, making him unable to keep his face.
Now, it was Yuchi Jingde's turn to go over, but he suddenly reaped great news.
Wouldn't that prove that compared to Yuchi Jingde, one was heaven and the other was earth?
Cheng Yaojin couldn't accept it.
They had fought for so many years, but he had always held the upper hand. Yuchi Jingde could only suffer.
But he didn't expect that Yuchi Jingde would shock the world with a single brilliant feat.
Cheng Yaojin was quite depressed. When Yuchi Jingde returned to the court, he would probably be ridiculed by him, and in front of all the officials.
Thinking of this, he was extremely suspicious.
He was well aware of Yuchi Jingde's capabilities and how cunning and troublesome the mountain bandits were.
Where did this guy get such great ability from? In just a day, he had killed more than 10,000 enemies without expending any troops.
It was impossible for Yuchi Jingde to have such an ability.
so.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed as a young figure appeared in his mind.
If that was the case, it could be explained.
Tangning!"
Cheng Yaojin was so jealous that he gritted his teeth. How did Yuchi Jingde get so lucky to be able to get a talent like Tangning?
No matter what, he had to snatch it!
Cheng Yaojin made up his mind!
