A few days later, the second piece of good news was finally delivered to Chang 'an.
All the officials who had known about it were standing in front of Hanyuan Palace early in the morning, looking at Zhengyang Gate.
Li Shiming's eyes were filled with anticipation. Luo Yuan's army was at the city gates, but no one knew if they could break through the palace.
The people standing behind Li Shiming were Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the other important officials.
"He's here!"
Seeing the Zhengyang Gate open, the eyes of all the officials present flashed. They nervously looked at the messenger's 800-mile emergency.
"Eunuch Wang, quickly go!"
Li Shi Min quickly said to the old eunuch beside him.
The old eunuch nodded. Although he was old, his steps were very steady. He jogged to the bottom of the steps and took the good news.
After opening it, he was instantly overjoyed.
Li Shi Min was delighted. Judging from the old eunuch's expression, it must be good news.
"Your Majesty! Delighted! I'm overjoyed!"
"General Zhongwu has successfully defeated the Tuyuhun army, breached the Imperial Court, and killed more than 200,000 enemies! Hundreds of thousands of prisoners! There was even the king of Tuyuhun!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"He succeeded. He actually succeeded?”
The entire court was shocked. He had led 30,000 people to destroy a country! Luo Yuan actually did it.
Moreover, Tuyuhun was not a small country. The military strength of the entire country exceeded 500,000.
Where was Luo Yuan? With only 30,000 soldiers, they could actually take down Tuyuhun. How terrifying was this!
"Hurry, hurry up and present it."
Li Shiming shouted excitedly. Ever since Luo Yuan appeared, his mood had improved day by day.
The crisis on the border had been resolved, and the news that the Great Tang had entered Tuyuhun's territory and was invincible had successfully shocked the other countries.
For a moment, these countries were all silent, trembling in fear of being remembered by the Great Tang.
As a result, the Great Tang's borders became much more stable. For example, the Turks no longer dared to invade.
Otherwise, in previous years, they would have taken advantage of the autumn harvest to invade the Great Tang, hoping to obtain some food for the winter.
But because of the ferocity of the Great Tang this year, they did not dare to move.
If Luo Yuan succeeded in this battle, he would be able to use his reputation to suppress the border countries and prevent them from invading the Great Tang for several years.
Li Shi Min was delighted as he read the news.
"Hahaha! Alright! Alright!"
"Loyal Martial General Luo Yuan, a peerless warrior, is truly the War God of the Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min's words were like golden words.
Back then, he had called Li Jing the Great Tang's War God, and from then on, everyone in the world called Li Jing the War God.
And now, he was addressing Luo Yuan as the War God, which meant that Luo Yuan would be above the generals of the Great Tang, the one and only War God!
Luo Yuan, the War God of the Great Tang, would be famous throughout the world.
Li Shi Min suddenly put away the report in his hand. His eyes flashed as he waved his sleeves and shouted.
"Pass on my order!"
"Loyal Martial General Luo Yuan, with unparalleled achievements, led an army of thirty thousand to destroy Tuyuhun and save the Great Tang from danger.”
"You shall be the War God of the Great Tang, a peerless warrior. I hereby confer you the title of Marquis!”
"He will also be conferred the title of West River Governor, commanding the four counties and two important passes of the West River, totaling more than 200,000 soldiers!”
All the civil and military officials were shocked. The west of the river was an important border! Among the two important passes, Jade Gate Pass was one of them.
There were more than 200,000 border guards in Hexi! This was only the regular border guards. Apart from them, the soldiers of the Zhechong Prefecture of the four prefectures in the west of the river were not included.
If one counted them, the total number of soldiers that the four counties could bring out would definitely be close to 300,000!
This level of military authority was the highest in the Great Tang. He could be said to be a true governor of the border, and his power was monstrous!
In comparison, a Martial Marquis title was nothing.
After all, in the Great Tang, above Marquis were County Dukes, County Dukes, and State Dukes. Perhaps Li Shimin had considered that Luo Yuan was too young. If he was conferred the title of Duke, he would be on par with the founding ministers and would be attacked.
Therefore, he decided to give Luo Yuan more authority and position. As for the title of nobility, he would give it to a Marquis.
Seeing Li Shiming's excitement, they weren't stupid enough to object. After all, no matter how jealous they were, Luo Yuan's achievements were there for all to see.
If they objected, Li Shimin would directly ask them to destroy the Tibetans. Then what did they say?
Therefore, he could only bow.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Shi Min nodded in satisfaction.
"Send the imperial edict to Li Jing and read it out together.”
"As for the bestowment ceremony, we'll hold it together after the army returns.”
At the same time, Li Shimin also announced this matter to the world. It was also a good news to the people of the world to strengthen their hearts.
For a moment, the world was shaken.
"My goodness, Tuyuhun is gone just like that?”
"The War God of the Great Tang, the Marquis of the Great Tang, the Governor of the West River, these are the powerful officials of the border!”
"The Great Tang is truly fortunate to have such a marquis!”
As time passed, the Great Tang army settled into Tuyuhun territory, and Luo Yuan led his troops back to Jade Gate Pass.
After returning to the Jade Gate Pass, he happened to meet Li Jing who had rushed over.
Li Jing's trip was in vain. He had come to help Lone. He already knew everything, so he was very curious about Luo Yuan.
