Two days later, at the foot of Chang 'an City by the Wei River.
The autumn weather was crisp and clear. The north wind whistled and the sun shone brightly.
Li Shimin, who had received the news through the military messenger pigeon, led Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Feng Deyi, Qin Qiong, Gongsun Wuda, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, and the other civil and military officials to wait for Li Xiu 'er's triumphant return.
On the emperor's carriage, Li Shiming was wearing a luxurious golden dragon robe, a twelve-combed Chinese crown, and a specially made emperor's sword hanging from his waist. He looked majestic and had a smile on his face.
The 10,000 Royal Guards lined up on both sides, their flags like clouds, their armor like trees, their weapons raised high, and they protected the area.
Under the restriction, only four to five hundred thousand Chang 'an citizens came out to watch, and they had to stay far away so as not to startle the emperor and King Heluo who was about to return.
Zhangsun Wuji stood beside the emperor's carriage with an ugly expression!
Who would have thought that Luo Yi, the famous general who dominated a region and had 200,000 soldiers, would be captured by a 13-year-old child like Li Xiu 'er in just a few days!
Li Xiu 'er had brought 2,000 black-armored cavalrymen with special-class equipment and powerful combat strength, but Luo Yi had 200,000 battle-hardened and domineering troops and the 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun who were even more powerful!
However, Luo Yi was still easily defeated by Li Xiu Er!
Although Li Xiu 'er didn't care about martial arts, the result was very convincing.
What did he mean by not judging a hero by the results? It was all fake!
As long as he won, no matter what methods he used, it would be a great merit. It could be recorded in a book, and it could be passed down for hundreds of generations.
Speaking of martial ethics, Zhangsun Wuji was the same!
He was the mastermind and main instigator behind the Black Tortoise Sect coup!
In the future, he would be named the head of the 24 meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion by Li Shiming. He would be Li Shiming's number one meritorious official because he did not care about martial ethics and planned and pushed Li Shiming's group to implement the Black Tortoise Sect Rebellion!
Later, Li He wrote the fifth of the thirteen poems of the South Garden: Why don't men take Wu Gou and take fifty states of Guanshan? Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for the time being, like a scholar marquis of ten thousand households?
The "scholar" and "Marquis of Ten Thousand Families" referred to Zhangsun Wuji!
It was unprecedented for a weak scholar to ascend to the throne of Marquis of Ten Thousand Families!
Sima Yi was indeed very powerful, but he had mainly accumulated this through many years of leading the army in wars, raising bandits and self-respecting people, and secretly raising death warriors.
It was completely different from Zhangsun Wuji's one step to the heavens!
The Yanyun area was vast and was an important military area in the northeast. Its strategic position would become more and more important in the future.
Not to mention, more than a hundred years later, An Lushan launched the An Lushan Rebellion and buried the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was based in Youzhou!
The land of Yan was bitterly cold, and they had to defend against foreign enemies. If the soldiers stayed here for too long, their combat strength would be quite terrifying. The soldiers of other regions could not compare to them.
Just like a knife, the more it was sharpened, the more ruthless and clean it was.
If it was not used for a long time, it would rust and lose its lethality!
Li Xiu 'er had pacified this vast territory and officially registered millions of people in the Great Tang. This was no less than winning a large-scale war of expansion!
Li Shi Min had relied on his military achievements to become stronger and stronger. After becoming the Emperor, he would naturally value his military achievements more when dealing with the princes.
In this way, the young Di Princes Li Chengqian and Li Tai were pulled apart by Li Xiu 'er, who had outstanding military achievements!
If Li Xiu 'er gave birth to a few more imperial grandchildren for Li Shi Min in a few years, then the status of Li Chengqian and Li Tai would be even more precarious!
"The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike is the one to suffer! I can plan the Black Tortoise Sect's coup and settle the world, and I can also take care of King Heluo, this little brat! Little fellow, just wait for this old man to continue attacking!”Zhangsun Wuji snorted in his heart.
Half an hour later, the horses galloped and the flag was raised high. Li Xiu 'er led the army back in victory!
Yanyun's eighteen cavalrymen led the way, while the 50,000 Heavenly Blessing Army soldiers advanced slowly in the middle, and the 2,000 black-armored cavalrymen protected them from the flanks.
Li Xiu 'er stood on the splendid chariot and commanded the army to move forward. She was in the middle of the front line.
It was very safe, and they could see the situation in front of them at the first moment, making it easy for them to command the army.
Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, Zhao Cihao, Yang Ji, and the others followed the golden chariot on horseback.
The young Li Ke stood behind Li Xiu 'er, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at his tall and imposing back.
Moving in such a formation like an iron bucket, they had the demeanor of an elite army.
Li Shi Min, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Li Xiaogong, Xu Maogong and the others nodded their heads in satisfaction.
Li Xiu 'er was still young, but she had already demonstrated her outstanding military skills. In the future, no, now, she could take charge of the army alone and lead the army in battle!
Seeing Li Shimin in front of them, Li Xiu 'er jumped off the luxurious chariot with Li Ke and walked to the emperor's carriage.
"Greetings, Imperial Father! Long live Imperial Father!" Li Xiu 'er and Li Ke bowed and shouted.
"Hahahahaha!" Li Shi Min laughed out loud, very pleased with himself. He quickly jumped down and pulled Li Xiu 'er and Li Ke up.
"Xiu-Er, I didn't expect you to be so good at military affairs! He attacked Luo Yi and Luo Shou at lightning speed and captured the entire Luo family. He was clean and efficient, without any hesitation. He had the demeanor of when I led the army to fight against Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and other warlords! Like father, like son. Among all the princes, you are the most like me!”Li Shimin said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to my father's keen eyes, his strategic planning, and his steady command that I was able to win this time!" Li Xiu 'er hurriedly said. Your son will learn even more from Imperial Father and strive to further improve his talents in all aspects. He will work hard to stabilize the world and expand the territory of the Great Tang!”
At this moment, no matter how excited he was, he could not be too arrogant.
If he flattered Li Shiming a few times, he would be even happier, and Li Xiu Er would have a super comfortable life.
As expected, Li Shi Min laughed again.
Flattery would not wear down.
Li Xiu 'er was very clever, and she was very good at deceiving people. Li Shimin liked her from the bottom of his heart.
More importantly, Li Xiu 'er was his eldest son. The outstanding military and political talent she had displayed in this crusade against the traitor Luo Yi was enough to deter the ministers and make them behave for a while.
Otherwise, Li Shiming could suppress these officials by himself, but other aspects, such as the war, would have to be delayed.
Then, Li Xiu 'er introduced the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, Zhao Cihao, and Yang Ji to Li Shimin. Li Shimin praised them and rewarded them generously.
As Li Shiming's old subordinates, he also rewarded the two thousand black armored cavalry who had returned.
Li Shi Min didn't miss out on the 50,000-strong God's Blessing Army, but his reward was a little less.
Rewards were linked to military merits, and their current contributions were nothing compared to the outstanding black-armored cavalry.
"Xiu-Er, you brought back the 50,000 soldiers of Yan Land. Isn't the defense of Yan Land too weak? There were only 50,000 weak troops left. If the north fell, what would they do?”Li Shi Min asked.
"May I ask why Luo Yi rebelled, Father?" Li Xiu 'er asked.”
"He has led the army for many years and has many trusted aides. The soldiers obey his orders, and I am arrogant and domineering. I don't respect the Imperial Court, so I rebelled.”Li Shi Min answered without hesitation.
"Imperial Father, I brought these fifty thousand soldiers back precisely because of this! An army could never stay in a region for many years! Moreover, the army recruited from the local area could not be stationed locally! The army had to be stationed in a different place and frequently changed positions! I hope that my father will consider these aspects when he manages the army in the future!”Li Xiu 'er said solemnly.
Li Shi Min heard this and was extremely excited.
"Xiu-Er is so smart! I'll remember it! They would steadily reform the military system according to the words 'stationed in different places and frequently changed defenses'!”Li Shi Min patted Li Xiu Er's head and nodded.
