The Human Emperor - zChapter 29
In the twenty-first year of the Tang Emperor, in September, the Turkic invasion and Xin, sometimes in depth, plundered humans and animals, and Tang used crossbows to seize them and retreated 300 miles from the enemy.
In the same year, the Turks fought again and invaded Luntai. Zhang Shougui was ordered to lead the rescue, and he met the Turks halfway. He took the lead, fought hard, killed more than a thousand enemies, and captured one of the enemy forces.
In December, Zhang Shougui entered the account of Li Taiyi and defeated the Turks of Luntai. He went up north to meet Wei Yuanzhong, the chief of the Lingwu Road march.
In February of the 22nd year of Emperor Tang, the Turks declared war completely.
In March, the two sides fought a battle on the Turkic steppe. Li Taiyi used a crossbow to suppress the momentum, and the new general Zhang Shougui rushed to shoot, making his lead cavalry attack the Turkic Right Army. However, the Turkic forces are huge and there are many cavalry. This battle is tied.
In April, the Turkic army of blue wolves made a big victory over the Tang people by surprise. Tang retreated a hundred miles and regrouped.
In May, Wang Jiuling planned the Turks and trapped them on the Gorge Road, leading the Lancers to intercept the Turks and retreat. This battle wins.
In July, the Tongluo people were subdued for Li Taiyi’s use, and Albus was appointed as the vanguard of the war against the enemy Turks.
…
In November of the same year, there was a lot of cold and snow, and the decisive battle started.
…
In the capital, the feather-like snow was flying. Although the people were not on the front lines of the battlefield, the information about the war was passed back to the capital because of the pigeons.
The atmosphere is very solemn, and everyone is looking forward to the final outcome of this war.
And in the anxious expectation of everyone, in the twenty-three years of Tang Emperor, in March, all things revived, as if to herald the vitality of spring and the beginning of everything, and at this time also came the final news of the war:
In the Battle of Yinshan, the Turkic coalition lost their helmets and disarmed them, causing more than 600,000 casualties. The Great Tang’s armies united, and the outstanding soldiers finally won the final victory.
Tang Empire wins!
“boom!”
When the news came, the entire Tang Empire broke out with earth-shattering cheers.
This war has been fought so far, and all the people have never expected it. A war has been fought for nearly 18 months, and the number of Turkic coalition forces has reached one million.
But in the end, the Tang Empire was victorious, especially when the Turks sent a letter of surrender, and everyone’s respect for Li Taiyi reached a qualitative change.
In and out of the field, there were voices cheering Li Taiyi everywhere.
And this war also pushed the prestige of Li Taiyi, the third prince, to an unprecedented height.
…
“Boom!”
In mid-March, when Li Taiyi arrived at the capital in a horse-drawn carriage from Turks, there was a sea of people outside the north gate of the city. I don’t know how many people rushed out of the city and gathered nearby.
“I’m coming!”
“It’s Your Highness, look at it!”
“Hurry up with firecrackers!”
…
The carriage hadn’t approached yet, accompanied by countless crackling firecrackers, bursts of cheers came from far away like a landslide and tsunami. Thousands of people seemed to be attracted by the tide, with red faces and joy, swarming in the direction of Li Taiyi’s carriage.
“I’m back! The Third Highness is finally back!”
Everyone’s eyes were full of enthusiasm, and they rushed forward excitedly, wanting to get close to the carriage.
“Your Highness, here it is.”
Suddenly, a voice rang from outside the carriage.
“Ok.”
Inside the carriage, Li Taiyi nodded, opened the curtain, and looked at the dark crowd outside the carriage. The joyous and enthusiastic atmosphere made him feel like a world away.
After this eighteen-month-long Turkic War, Li Taiyi has not only become more vigorous, but also feels a lot different compared to before.
mature!
steady!
Between the eyebrows, don’t be angry!
It seems to have completed his transformation.
And more importantly for him is the change in public reaction.
When I went there, although Li Taiyi had the title of victory in the Battle of Uszang, in the impression of everyone, Li Taiyi was still the prince who robbed people and murdered in the street. But now, Li Taiyi clearly felt the crowd and support of the people. The heroic triumphant ceremony made Li Taiyi feel deeply moved.
He made so much effort to completely change the people’s impression of this day.
Rumble, as the carriage approached, the crowd became more and more fierce, and the cheers became more and more enthusiastic. The eyes of countless people were sharp, tiptoes, necks stretched and looked forward, just for the first time Li Taiyi returned to the capital. See him.
And as the carriage drove into the imperial city, the crowds of the people stopped outside, but the overwhelming cheers were endless, always ringing outside the imperial city.
Li Taiyi smiled and shook his head, eyes filled with emotion.
And when Li Taiyi passed the gate of the imperial city where the Forbidden Army maintained order, the carriage stopped abruptly before long.
Li Taiyi looked around, and saw hundreds of civil and military officials, many ministers, all dressed in court uniforms, walking in a neat line, just seven or eight steps away from Li Taiyi’s carriage, everyone bowed their heads and bowed respectfully. Saluted.
“Welcome your Three Highnesses back to Beijing!”
“The book instructed Zhou Sheng to see His Royal Highness Three. His Highness defeated the Turks and raised my great Tang Guowei. Zhou Sheng admired him and prepared a special gift to celebrate his triumph!”
“Doctor Duan Cao Gongshi wished the Three Highness a triumph, with a special gift!”
“Hube Shangshu Zhou Jing has seen His Royal Highness Three. His Royal Highness defeated the Turks. For my Datang hero, Zhou has a special gift. I hope that His Highness will not abandon it!”
…
Inside the entire imperial city, the voices of congratulations from the civil and military officials came after another, endlessly flowing.
Generally speaking, blatant gifts by officials are taboos, but in this special period, no one feels wrong at all.
——Li Taiyi repelled the Turks who had occupied the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so it should be!
“My palace just did what it was supposed to do, and everyone said it was serious!”
Li Taiyi looked at the figure bowing to congratulate himself, and as he spoke, he responded one by one.
“His Majesty, Your Majesty is still waiting in the Taiji Hall. Your Majesty should go to the Sage.”
At this moment, a familiar voice came from his ears, the chief manager of Ouchi Li Gonggong holding a whisk in his hand, wearing a moiré brocade suit, looked at Li Taiyi with a smile on his face.
“Ok.”
Li Taiyi smiled back and quickly rode into the palace.
“boom!”
At the same time, in another place, on the high palace wall, even Li Taiyi didn’t see it. A tall and tall figure exuding the aura of the emperor’s nobleness, suddenly gathered five fingers and crushed one of the coins in his hand. Jade pulls the finger.
The figure turned around and quickly disappeared on the palace wall. Except for the golden gown, the four-clawed golden dragon representing the prince of the East Palace flickered in the void. Nothing else was seen.
…
After a while, as the reward from Emperor Tang in the Taiji Hall ended, a cold voice without any emotion suddenly sounded in Li Taiyi’s mind:
“Congratulations to the host, for the complete victory of the’Tang and Turkic Destiny War’, rewarding 100,000 destiny energy points. Because this battle has completely changed the history of the entire continent, the host will be awarded an additional 300,000 destiny energy points!”
Hearing the familiar voice of the Stone of Destiny, Li Taiyi’s expression was startled, but soon he realized that the battle of fate between Tang and Turks was officially over!
At this moment, Li Taiyi felt a heartfelt joy in his heart.
…
“boom!”
A bunch of fireworks rushed into the night sky and exploded violently in the sky, exploding its brilliance, and then accompanied by bursts of cheers, the entire capital was plunged into a festive ocean, and there were sounds of triumphant celebrations for Li Taiyi everywhere.
At this moment, the second prince Li Chengyi was standing on the steps in front of the palace, standing with his hands behind him, with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.
“Four brother, do you see the face of eldest brother today?”
Li Chengyi smiled lightly.
“The second brother still has a way. The eldest brother has always been arrogant and doesn’t like anything. He didn’t expect to see a look of jealousy on his face one day.”
A voice came from beside Li Chengyi, the fourth prince Li Longfan stood beside Li Chengyi and said.
Today, Li Taiyi is the absolute protagonist. To put it bluntly, even surpassing Li Xuantu, the prince who fought against the enemy Turks.
But because of this, he was able to start.
Li Xuantu was arrogant. He didn’t stop him from recommending his third brother to Turk because he believed that only he could defeat Turk.
Today, Turkic is repulsed by the third brother, and the eldest brother’s self-confidence is like being stepped on by someone, and he naturally feels very uncomfortable.
And in a disguised way, the third brother took the credit that belonged to the older brother.
Thinking of this, Li Chengyi’s icy eyes glanced at the Taiji Hall where Emperor Tang lived, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:
“It’s time to close the net.”
