Chapter 67 The Good News Communicates

"kill!"

As Hou Junji's word "kill" fell, the Tang army, like a wild beast, did not burst out with deafening shouts, but instead roared, just like the roar that was born from the throat tube that the wild beast unconsciously made before the attack.

Under the leadership of Hou Junji, the Tang army seemed to transform into a group of wild beasts, rushing towards their enemies.

People who don’t like Hou Junji can find out his shortcomings of ten thousand, such as pride, narrow-minded, self-righteous, unruly, greedy, utilitarian and ungrateful, etc., innumerable, but even those who hate him cannot refuse to admit him: his bravery and good combat, and his unique talent in military strategy.

A person who was recognized by Li Shimin and Li Jing at the same time showed his value and significance at this moment.

Faced with Hou Junji's attack, Murong Fuyun, who was already in a state of sacred spirit, lost the courage and confidence to resist: he never expected that without any preparation and unfamiliar with the terrain, the Tang {Wu+ Army could rely on the will of the soldiers to break through the Poluo Zhengu, which was called the land of death, and was completely caught off guard.

Tuyuhun's army was vulnerable at all, and Murong Fuyun could only escape from Poluo Zhengu in panic.

In this battle, Hou Junji defeated the Tuyuhun Army and captured a hundred generals and more than 10,000 soldiers. If Hou Junji's troops had not been rushing all the way, their physical strength was too effective and they were unable to pursue them, Murong Fuyun might not have been able to run away...

This is not the end!

Murong Fuyun, who escaped from the Poluo Zhen Valley, prepared to cross the Tulun River, which is the Takramakan Desert, and defect to Khotan.

Li Jing, the Tang Dynasty military god, seemed to have predicted the direction of all the battle situation. The Tang army, who was raising energy, dispatched troops to knock the dog down from the water when Murong Fuyun came out of the Luo Zhengu. The Tang army rushed to Qiemo through Jishishan and river sources, and bit Murong Fuyun tightly. Murong Fuyun was desperate and hanged himself in a desperate situation.

Li Jing met with Hou Junji's troops in Baihai at this time, and his power was even greater.

Murong Fuyun's son, Murong Shun, wanted to kill the powerful minister of Tuyuhun, King Tianzhu, surrendered to Tang. King Tianzhu was more skilled and turned his back to the guest, and killed Murong Shun first. In this state of life and death, Tuyuhun himself was frightened and internally strife.

Li Jing used his troops like a god, and any small thing could be infinitely magnified in his eyes. He immediately noticed the situation in Tuyuhun, first to observe the victory or defeat, and when the king of Tianzhu and Murong Shun knew the victory or defeat, he attacked decisively.

Tuyuhun was panicked by the internal mess, and it was consumed too much and was unable to resist.

Tuyuhun completely dissipated from history and was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

Hou Junji took a rag from his hand and wiped the blood from the long sword. At this moment, he had already rested and adjusted his appearance, his clothes and horses were so majestic. Looking into the distance, he felt endless complacent in his heart: if he could win this battle, Hou Junji was the most powerful contributor. It was because he overcame the Luo Zhengu that the Tang Dynasty could break the deadlock... He led his troops and horses to the headquarters of the army, and Ma Kanxue's deeds would surely become a legend that has been widely circulated by later generations. He was admired by future generations.

The direction he looked at was the distant Chang'an, and he had an involuntary thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, this is the ability of my Hou Junji, as long as I give me a chance. Why should Luo Shixin compare with me?"

Good news conveys Chang'an and the whole country celebrates.

The war between the East and West involved the hearts of thousands of people from the Tang Dynasty. Although the good news was conveyed one by one, both Luo Shixin and Li Jing fought beautifully. However, the final victory and defeat were not decided, and no one could feel at ease. You should know that Yang Guang fought against Goguryeo and continued to win. What was the result? It was not the last moment that the chain was lost, and the millions of troops were defeated.

War is like chess. It changes rapidly. Without the news of true triumphal success, no one can be sure of the final victory or defeat.

Li Jing forced Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, to death, and took advantage of the internal strife in Tuyuhun, and succeeded in one fell swoop.

This is a real victory, a victory worthy of all the Tang people's pride, and a victory that scares the surrounding aliens with ulterior motives: facing the biggest threat since the founding of the country, the four surrounding enemy countries worked together to target the Tang Dynasty. Faced with this crisis, the Tang Dynasty actually fought on both sides with tough measures. The front line won consecutive battles without any defeat, and the other line directly destroyed the southwest overlord. This strength is really terrible.

Li Shimin, a figure who was still calm when Mount Tai collapsed, couldn't help but danced his fists in the court and circulated the good news to share with the civil and military officials of the morning court.

All the civil and military officials stopped to discuss the matters and congratulated Li Shimin one after another.

Li Shimin looked at the war report in detail and saw Hou Junji leading his subordinates to break through Luo Zhengu. He couldn't help but praise: "Junji bravely entered the land of death, restrained the three armies, rushed for more than two thousand miles, defeated the enemy, and moved forward. This fearless spirit is truly amazing. There is no better general in ancient times." As one of his favorite generals, he never doubted his vision and Hou Junji's own abilities.

Now that Hou Junji has shown his power in the battle, Li Shimin will naturally not be stingy with praise.

After hearing Li Shimin praise Hou Junji so much, the civil and military officials in the court responded one after another, praising Hou Junji for his beautiful battle and making great contributions. For a time, the court praised Hou Junji for his praise.

Li Shimin waved his hand and stopped the praise of all officials, saying, "When you praise General Hou and other front-line heroes, don't forget yourself. This victory is not only the soldiers who went to the expedition, but not only the general manager Li Da, General Hou, but also you. You are also all the heroes. If you hadn't stabilized the economy of our Tang Dynasty and stabilized the stability of the people at this critical moment, advocated integrity and increased revenue and reduced expenditure for our Tang Dynasty, our two fronts would not be able to support the victory today. I will not forget the contributions of the soldiers on the front, nor will I ignore the efforts of everyone here."

The civil and military officials in the court heard that they all felt like their blood was inflated. They felt that it was worth it. If the wise king did this, there would be no regrets in this life.

When it comes to winning people's hearts, Li Shimin's methods are still extremely superb.

After retiring from the court, Li Shimin reviewed all the memorials. He handled government affairs with great rules and made decisions directly. He had his own ideas for the remaining critical and serious matters, but he did not rush to make annotations. Instead, he put the memorials aside and invited great talents such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng to gather the talents of everyone to discuss a safe decision. Because of this, Li Shimin had almost no politically wrong decisions in the past few years of ascension to the throne. This was not because he had extraordinary abilities, but because he was good at accepting advice and gathering the wisdom of everyone.

This time was no exception. He put several key and important issues aside, handled trivial matters well, and invited Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou over.

Ma Zhou's current status is not enough to be on par with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, but his political talent is not inferior to the former. At this critical moment, Li Shimin urgently needed all kinds of talents to give him advice and stabilize the political situation, and also pulled Ma Zhou into his group of advisers and directly served him.

Although Ma Zhou's current status is low, people with discerning eyes have seen that Li Shimin's emphasis on Ma Zhou, and he is just around the corner to become the prime minister in the future, and his status has risen as a result.

With political talents such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Ma Zhou, Li Shimin handled the affairs very quickly. With their opinions, most of the problems they encountered will be solved.

After dealing with everything, Li Shimin stretched his body vigorously and said, "The West Route Army can be completely relieved now, but the East Route is still a hurdle. What's wrong with the Great Master? There has been no news for a whole month, unlike his style of fighting? Goguryeo defeated him. Baekje jumped into the clown, Yamato Kingdom stayed away from the local area to fight, and there was no reason not to deal with it."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is a little restless, but my subordinates can understand the problems facing the Grand Chief Manager at this moment. What is fighting Goguryeo tests the military ability of the Grand Chief Manager. The Grand Chief Manager is a general of the tiger and bear, and Goguryeo is not an opponent. However, fighting against Yamato and Baekje is not only a test of the military ability of the Grand Chief Manager, but also a concern for the interests of allies. Our army of thousands of miles of the Tang Dynasty is not a marriage for Silla. How to weigh the interests is very important. We cannot bully Silla, affect the impression of all subordinate countries on our Tang Dynasty, and we cannot give the benefits to Silla. In the face of this situation, it is understandable that some hesitation is."

Li Shimin thought of Luo Shixin's personality and couldn't help but say, "Yes, the chief executive has a straightforward personality and is not very good at this kind of calculation, so it makes things difficult for him."

"I don't think so!"

When Li Shimin agreed with Fang Xuanling's statement, strange remarks came from the hall.

When Li Shimin saw that it was Ma Zhou, he asked with a smile: "What are your opinions?"

Ma Zhou first politely greeted Li Shimin, and then nodded to Fang Xuanling, saying, "The Chief Executive said this, "The Chief Executive is that he does not have a deep understanding of the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive has great wisdom but does not lack cleverness. He is just not used to not being used to intrigue, which does not mean that he is not good at it. The Chief Executive has a strong sense of honor for the nation. In his concept, we only take advantage of others, but are not taken advantage of by others. In terms of the interests of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Chief Executive does not like him, he will not compromise. The Chief Executive believes that the Chief Executive has not been inconsistent with his combat methods. With the Chief Executive’s understanding of the Chief Executive, he should be planning some big plan."

Li Shimin nodded, "What I said makes sense, and we can wait for what we can do."

Luo Shixin did not ask him to wait for a long time. Just three days later, Luo Shixin's war report was also conveyed to the court at the court meeting.

Because of the special instructions, as long as the news about the frontline war is heard, even when you go to bed in the early morning, you must wake him up and convey it to him.

This court meeting should be like this...

Li Shimin held the good news in his hand and looked at it with a little nervous heart.

After a moment, he stood up in a state of emotion. Because it was too fierce, the dragon couch made his thighs tilted... (To be continued...)
