After the great battle, the path of Mount Long was littered with corpses, some of which belonged to the Turks and some belonged to the Tang army.
"Reporting to General Yue, in this battle, our army lost 10,623 men, killed 48,000 enemy soldiers, seized 400,000 stones of rations, countless treasures, and 30,000 horses.”
After hearing his subordinate's report, Yue Fei pondered for a moment before ordering everyone to treat the wounded, collect the corpses of his soldiers, and bury the dead Turkic soldiers.
"Big brother, are we going back to Youzhou or Chang 'an?”
Yang Zaixing, who was resting at the side, opened his eyes and asked Yue Fei.
"I don't know. Let's find a place to set up camp and write a report to send to Chang 'an.”
As for where to go, Yue Fei was also quite confused. The soldiers he brought were all from Youzhou, but the grain and treasures must be transported to Chang 'an.
Strictly speaking, he didn't have the right to lead an army, and poking the Turks in the butt was also an order from His Highness the King of Chu.
Not long after, a fast horse galloped in the direction of Chang 'an.
Chang 'an regained its former vitality after the Turkic army retreated.
On the streets, countless small vendors were shouting.
"A great victory on the Longshan Path. General Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing led twenty thousand troops to kill forty thousand Turkic cavalry and seized countless rations and treasures. Yang Zaixing killed the Turkic general Zhishi Sili in the midst of the chaos.”
"Great victory on the Long Mountain Path."
“........”
The sudden good news stunned the people in Chang 'an.
Another war?
Another war with the Turks? He even won?
20,000 killed more than 40,000. This was a great victory!
After a while, the stunned Chang 'an citizens became excited.
Not long ago, the Turks had besieged Chang 'an. They had been living in fear for several days, afraid that the Turks would invade Chang' an and kill them.
Many of their relatives had been soldiers, and many had died under the butcher's knives of the Turkic cavalry.
They wished they could eat the Turks alive.
Now that they heard that they had killed forty thousand Turks, how could they not be excited?
The entire Chang 'an City was in an uproar.
"Old Li, did you hear that? We won the battle.”
"Go, go, go. I'm not deaf. The general under the king of Chu is really powerful. He won another battle.”
"That's right! The King of Chu was really similar to the current Emperor. They were both people who could win battles.”
“........”
Report!
Longshan small road victory.
In Xian De Hall, Li Shi Min and his subordinates were worrying about the war.
Now that the national treasury was empty, where would they get the money to fight wars and settle the people?
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the news.
Where is the battle in Longshan? Where did the good news come from?
"Reporting to the Emperor!"
" General Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing led 20,000 elite cavalrymen of Yan and Liao to ambush Jie Li on the path of Mount Long. They killed more than 48,000 people and seized 400,000 stones of grain, countless treasures, and 30,000 horses."
"Great victory, Emperor!"
Hurry up and submit the report.
After Li Shi Min read the report, his face was filled with joy and he ordered people to read the report to the ministers.
This victory came at the right time. Not only did they get back most of the treasures, but they also caused Jie Li to suffer heavy losses.
One had to know that Jie Li was a big sweat. He had the most things.
Moreover, after this battle, the Turks would no longer have the absolute power to rule the steppe, and the tribal leaders who had benefited from it would become much stronger.
He would definitely have some thoughts about Jie Li.
At that time, the Turks would fall into internal strife and would not invade the Great Tang for a while.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Not only have you resolved our urgent problem, but the Turks will also not invade our Great Tang for the time being.”
After hearing the report, Zhangsun Wuji congratulated Li Shimin.
What Li Shi Min could think of, he could also think of. Many people in the imperial court could think of it.
They were all discussing in low voices with joy on their faces.
The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became lively.
At this moment.
"This subject impeaches the King of Chu for privately mobilizing his troops. Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and the others have no respect for the Emperor.”
The impeachment of the Minister of Rites, Wang Badan, broke the joyous atmosphere in the court.
Most of the officials looked at the official in shock.
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched as he looked at Wang Ba Dan helplessly and asked,"What do you mean?"
When Wang Badan heard that Li Shiming wanted to ask him, he thought he had figured out Li Shiming's thoughts.
He looked at his colleague proudly, tidied his clothes, and strode forward.
"His Highness Chu has no military authority, but he is privately mobilizing troops. This is treason. Now that our Great Tang has just signed an alliance with the Turks, Yue Fei and the others are attacking the Turks without permission.”
"I implore Your Majesty to severely punish King Chu, Yue Fei, and Yang Zaixing.”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground.
What a talent!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others looked at Wang Badan with complicated expressions. Even the Minister of Rites covered his face with one hand, indicating that he did not know him.
Li Shi Min forced a smile as he looked at Wang Badan who was kneeling down.
If you say that he's wrong, he has a point, but can you think of it that way?
After the alliance was formed, Li Shiming and the Tang officials had regarded it as a humiliation. Now, they finally heard some good news.
Yet, you're pouring cold water on me.
Besides, is King Chu someone you can impeach?
He had gone to Youzhou as a hostage for the Great Tang and even flattened Youzhou.
Now that you're saying that you want to severely punish King Chu, aren't you talking nonsense?
All the officials looked at Wang Badan with schadenfreude, shocked by his strange brain.
Li Shimin coughed twice and said,"We can discuss this matter later. Let Yue Fei lead his men to transport the seized things back to Chang 'an."”He ignored Wang Badan below.
Wang Badan looked depressed. He was right! Why didn't the Emperor punish King Chu and his two guards?
"Right, speaking of King Chu, where is he now? He should have returned to Chang 'an after such a long time.”
"Has Youzhou submitted any reports?"
Li Shimin finally thought of his poor son and asked Gao Shichang.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The war has been tense recently, and Youzhou has also quelled the rebellion. Your Majesty didn't notice it. The report should be in the study.”
When Gao Shichang brought the report over, Li Shimin was furious.
"What is it? Kuan 'er left behind a letter saying that he had gone to seek medical treatment, but he disappeared without even bringing anyone with him? I didn't know about it until now.”
Li Shi Min stood up and shouted angrily.
"Men, order the counties to pay close attention to King Chu's whereabouts and find him quickly.”
With Li Shiming's order, the entire Great Tang Imperial Court began to move.
.......
Achoo!
"Hu! Who misses me?"
Li Kuan, who was far away in Jiangzhou, sneezed and said.
He didn't know that Yue Fei had won a great victory, nor did he know that the entire Great Tang was in chaos just to beat him up.
He was now trying to find someone to inquire about Xue Rengui's whereabouts.
