After Wei Wentong calmed down, he began to describe the actions of the royal army and the entire process of being surrounded by the Turks.
Although Wei Wentong didn't go into detail, it wasn't hard to tell how dangerous it was just by looking at the remaining Royal Guards.
"If it weren't for His Highness the King of Qin, the 30,000 soldiers would have been wiped out.”
Wei Wentong sighed.
This time, his left and right deputy generals had all died in battle, and so did some of the elites he had brought with him.
At this point, Li Shiming and Li Xiu Ning's eyes turned red.
They had witnessed the death of the last Li family soldier.
If it wasn't for the dangerous situation at that time, the two of them wouldn't have kept their feelings to themselves.
Now that he had narrowly escaped death and won a huge victory, some emotions naturally began to appear.
"They are all warriors of Great Sui."
Yang Guang sighed.
"Your Majesty, I believe that all the soldiers of the royal army should be rewarded regardless of whether they are alive or not.”
Yu Shiji said.
Respond to the king's rescue was something they did voluntarily and not within their duties. From this point on, they should be rewarded.
This action had the effect of winning the hearts of the people. Even if Yanmen Pass won this time, he could not miss out on these things that a benevolent ruler should do.
"Of course."
Yang Guang held his breath.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Wang again.
If one were to say who had contributed the most this time, it would definitely be the King of Qin.
The King of Qin had traveled thousands of miles from the Western Sea and had even circled around the rear of the Turks to attack them unexpectedly.
Breaking through the Turkic encirclement was one of the main reasons why Yanmen Pass had changed the situation.
After that, while he was supporting the royal army, he had also defeated the Turkic army. In the end, he had completely changed the situation and allowed the Great Sui to win. The significance of becoming the King of Qin was extremely important.
It could be said that even with the West Ocean army, without the King of Qin, this matter would not have succeeded.
"Before that, I would like to reward Li Shiming and Li Xiu Ning. They have responded to the king at such a young age. They are not bad. They are not inferior to some generals in killing enemies on the battlefield.”
Yang Guang stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Shiming's performance in the royal army was truly dazzling. He had responded to the royal army at such a young age and with such a high status. He had even rushed to the front line of the battlefield with the Tongguan garrison general. This was the most rare thing.
After all, Li Shiming was Li Yuan's second son. He grew up in an aristocratic family and was a member of the Guanlong Group. However, how could Yang Guang ignore his actions?
In addition, Li Shiming was still brave enough to kill the enemy despite facing the possibility of being completely wiped out at such a young age. This action inspired the morale of the army. To a certain extent, his performance was even more dazzling than Wei Wentong.
"What reward do the two of you want?”
Yang Guang asked with a smile.
When Li Shi Min and his sister heard this, they supported each other and stepped forward, greeting each other as a ruler.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't want any reward. I only have one request.”
Li Shi Min forced himself to stand up, trying to make his voice calm and clear.
Li Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at Li Shiming.
It was already good enough to be rewarded, but he still had to make a request. This might make His Majesty unhappy.
It was enough to get some rewards. He should not push his luck.
Li Shiming ignored Li Yuan's gaze. He took a deep breath, and his breathing became rapid due to his nervousness. He clenched his fists tightly.
"I wish to join the Western Navy."
Li Shi Min said firmly.
As soon as he said this, the ministers were stunned.
Actually, it wasn't strange for Li Shiming to have such an idea. Who wouldn't want to join the elite army at his age?
He would use this to earn military merits and kill enemies for Great Sui!
This time, the West Ocean Army had displayed terrifying strength. The combat strength of the West Ocean Army could be said to be the number one army of the Great Sui Dynasty!
Apart from the bravery of the West Ocean Army, it was also because the commander was the King of Qin.
Who wouldn't want to pursue such a commander?
Only by joining such an army could a man's blood boil.
Ji 'er, what do you think?"
Yang Guang didn't agree directly. Instead, he looked at Yang Ji.
After all, Li Shimin was going to join the West Ocean Navy, and everyone knew the discipline of the West Ocean Navy. Whether Li Shimin's joining would affect the West Ocean Army was up to Yang Ji.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought that Li Shiming was going to make some request, but he didn't expect him to join the Western Navy.
Joining the Western Navy meant that he was working for the King of Qin to a certain extent.
After the battle at Yanmen Pass, the King of Qin was like the sun at noon. Whether it was his prestige or the people's hearts, they had grown rapidly. In Li Yuan's eyes, the King of Qin would most likely become the third emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty.
If Li Shiming followed the King of Qin, he would naturally become a subject of the Dragon.
This would only benefit the Li family or Li Yuan himself. There would be no harm.
Moreover, Li Shi Min was quite talented, which made him feel at ease.
Moreover, Yang Ji fell silent when he heard his grandfather's question.
This made Li Shimin a little nervous, and his forehead was covered in sweat. The decision to join the Western Navy was in the hands of the King of Qin.
The King of Qin was also the main reason why he wanted to join the Western Navy. That was probably why Li Shimin was so nervous.
For Yang Ji, now that the danger of Yanmen Pass had been resolved, he had a certain amount of power in the court.
It was also time to cultivate some of his own power in the court. As a noble of Guanlong, Li Shi Min was indeed a good candidate.
After all, the Li family behind him had a lot of say in the Guanlong nobles and even the imperial court.
Apart from that, Li Shimin was talented. Whether it was governing the country or military, he had his own views and understanding.
After all, he was the future emperor who brought the Zhenguan reign to the future generations, and the Great Tang under the Zhenguan reign was a prosperous Great Tang.
So what if he is a future emperor? I, Yang Ji, can also control him.
"I agree to let you join the Western Navy. In addition, I confer upon you the title of Commandant of the Western Sea Army, commanding a thousand Western Navy soldiers.”
The corner of Yang Ji's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat evil smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Shi Min was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice.
Li Yuan stroked his beard. With the current power of the King of Qin, the Li family would definitely be determined to assist the King of Qin. The Li family would also become Yang Ji's first force in the Great Sui Dynasty.
Of course, this was something that went without saying. Yang Ji, Li Yuan, and even Yuwen Huaji understood.
