That night, the military weapon prison was brightly lit and cups were coming and going, and it was very lively. Chen Wanrong invited these hard-working craftsmen. He never took a year-end vacation, which was really touching. Chen Wanrong sincerely wanted to thank them.

The meal was eaten until late at night and it ended with joy.

The next day, Chen Wanrong was involved in handling military affairs. The army continued to spread, allocating garrisons to them, arranging food and grass, and paying attention to military discipline, so he was busy.

After several days of busyness, all the troops to be transferred to the Western Regions arrived, and the busiest time finally passed. On this day, Chen Wanrong discussed with the generals about how to send troops to the Western Regions, and the personal guards came in and reported: "Report to the supervisor, the imperial envoy is here!"

"Reward the army?" Cheng Xiaotian shouted first: "We won a great victory in the battle in the north. Until now, the court has not rewarded it yet. If we don't reward it, we will go directly to the Western Regions, either it is impossible, or it may affect morale a little."

This is the truth. The victory in the north was beheaded by more than 700,000 people, which was unique in Chinese history. It was King Wuling of Zhao who defeated the Huns, Meng Tian recovered Hetao, the "Decisive Battle in the Mobei" planned by Emperor Wu of Han, and the battle of Emperor Taizong of Tang to destroy the Turks. If he did not reward the army, it would be a big blow to morale.

Fei Junxing said something else: "Boy Cheng, if you want to get promoted and make money, you have to say it clearly. You have to use the banner of your brothers!"

Cheng Xiaotian pointed at Fei Junxing angrily: "Boy Fei, stop talking nonsense! I am just greedy for money, what's wrong? You don't want your share, give it to me."

"Military Supervisor, are you so greedy as he is?" Fei Junxing asked Chen Wanrong for help.

Chen Wanrong smiled maliciously: "I will solve my own affairs by myself, and I will go to welcome the imperial envoy!"

"Haha! It's better to supervise the army!" Cheng Xiaotian was very proud and stuck out his tongue at Fei Junxing.

When everyone left the camp, they saw a long line of people coming. The one walking in front was an official, full of righteousness. He was neither someone else, but the upright Song Jing.

Song Jing was famous all over the world, and everyone admired him very much, so they hurriedly greeted him. Song Jing flew down, strode, pointed at Chen Wanrong from a distance, and smiled and said, "Military Supervisor, you are so happy!"

It was strange that the idle person didn't get into Song Jing's eyes. Song Jing looked at Chen Wanrong differently, and was very intimate. He took Chen Wanrong's hand, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Military Supervisor, you are fighting this battle in the north!"

"It is the brothers who dare to fight and fight!" Chen Wanrong couldn't know much about the combat power of the Tang army.

Song Jing changed his tone and slapped Chen Wanrong's shoulders and said, "The fight is good, but you are too brave and almost scared us out of fear! Zhongshoujiang City is related to the overall situation, and you dare to use it as bait! Looking at the present, who has this courage except you?"

The strategic position of Zhongshoujiang City is so important. Chen Wanrong actually used it to lure the enemy. His courage is not ordinary, but even greater than the sky. Thinking about the opposition in Chang'an City in the court at that time, Song Jing is still scared!

"I believe in the strength of my brothers. Not to mention a surrendered city, even if three are lost, we can take them back!" Chen Wanrong said confidently.

"I've seen the military supervisor!" Cheng Xiaotian and the others greeted Song Jing.

"Dear generals, I'm exempted, I'm exempted!" Song Jing bowed in a group of fists: "I'm here to Longxi with the order this time to reward the army."

Cheng Xiaotian blinked proudly at Fei Junxing, meaning "How? I guessed it right." Chen Wanrong invited Song Jing to the military camp, and the servants escorted the silver supplies for rewarding the army and followed them into the military camp. A long team of escorted the military supplies for rewarding the army.

After entering the tent and sitting, Song Jing looked around the generals and said, "You have fought very well in the north! You have shown the majesty of China! Since the Turks rebelled, the northern region has not been at peace for thirty years! Although Pei Xingjian went to war, defeated hundreds of thousands of Turks in Heishan and chased Langshan, he did not extinguish the rebellion of the Turks, and it has been delayed to this day. In this battle, the northern region will return to peace. There will be no major war within decades, and there will be immeasurable merits!"

If it weren't for Wu Zetian's many mistakes in handling the Turks, Pei Xingjian would have been enough to quell the rebellion of the Turks in the past. Now Li Longji is the emperor, and has a clear goal for the Turks and has taken appropriate measures to achieve such a great victory.

Chen Wanrong represented all the generals: "Song Xiang has been awarded for the award, and this is the emperor's wisdom! Otherwise, we wouldn't have fought so smoothly."

This is not a flattery against Li Longji, but a fact. During this northern expedition, Li Longji played a huge role, one was the trust of Chen Wanrong and others. The city was lost, and the accusations were louder than the other. Li Longji was able to withstand the pressure and let Chen Wanrong and others fight. This is commendable.

The second aspect is to deal with the Turks' surrender. It is much more intelligent than Wu Zetian. Except for Mochuo, who was the Ming Zhengpao punishment, no one else was killed, which can greatly disintegrate the Turks' rebellious thoughts.

If you kill the Turkic surrender like Wu Zetian, then it is certain that within ten years, there will be wars in the north again. Chen Wanrong's words are the truth.

Song Jing knew Chen Wanrong and would not flatter him. He praised him so much, but Li Longji deserved his name and nodded, "The emperor is wise!" He knew how much pressure Li Longji was at that time.

After a brief pause, he continued: "I am very honored to come here to reward the army with the order this time! However, the emperor has issued an order to supervise the army and all generals to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible. It is not advisable to stay in Longxi for many places. It is advisable to reward the army as soon as possible!"

"We are all looking forward to this reward!" Chen Wanrong said half-jokingly: "Brothers, come forward with the credit book!"

The generals laughed and were busy sending people to deliver the merit book. Song Jing believed that they had not made any fraud and still flipped through it. Song Jing was extremely efficient in doing things, and he was very fast to read the merit book. He finished reading it within an hour and nodded and said, "I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. It was better than I expected! People came and distributed silver and silk to each battalion! The emperor said that he would first give silver and silk. As for the title, he ordered the Ministry of War to deal with it!"

When the news spread, the entire barracks were filled with cheers, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!"

Chen Wanrong asked, "Song Xiang, we have rewarded us here, so what about the garrison in the north?"

"Don't worry, the emperor would not favor one or the other. He has ordered Lord Shen to reward the army!" Song Jing replied with a smile: "The reward has been completed. When will the supervisor and all the generals set off to Chang'an?"

Chen Wanrong was very surprised: "Song Xiang, why did the emperor urge him so hard?"

Song Jing looked around and lowered his voice, "Don't reveal it, I'll just tell you that Ge Shuhan is in trouble in the Western Regions and the fight is very difficult."

Chen Wanrong was very surprised. If it weren't for Song Jing's advice, he would have called out. He was stunned and said in surprise: "Brother Geshu was not fighting well? Didn't the Battle of Talas be very good? He wiped out 150,000 Dashi people in one battle!"

Song Jing's voice was still low: "It's not just Talas that are very smooth, but the entire Khurasan is very smooth. Khurasan is the old land of Persia. Many places have just been newly incorporated into the Dashi. The local people are unwilling to surrender. As soon as General Geshu and others arrived, the local people rose up to expel the Dashi officials and garrisons in response to the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a pity that later, Hacha only led 500,000 troops to counterattack. General Geshu and others could not stand it and could only retreat."

Chen Wanrong was a little disbelief and thought for a while and said, "Brother Geshu is very good at using troops. Even if Hacha's army is several times larger, their equipment is not as good as ours. If they really fight, they may not suffer any loss."

"Who said no!" Song Jing slapped his high-high and said softly: "At the critical moment of the two armies fighting, Hacha only used a firearm called Greek fire, which can spew out flames that are more than two feet long. Think about it, water and fire are ruthless, so General Geshu and others couldn't stand it anymore and had to retreat. Fortunately, General Geshu saw the opportunity quickly, retreated early, and suffered little loss. Now he is defending Samarkand and needs reinforcements. Of course, General Geshu needs artillery most."

Although Geshuhan needs artillery in great need, Li Longji must have thought that since the north has been fought, why not do both things and send a large army to the west to completely defeat the Dashi, and fundamentally solve this problem.

This is ambition! Li Longji's ambition!

Chen Wanrong was excited and said, "Since that's the case, we will return to Chang'an immediately!" He said loudly, "Dear generals, go and arrange something, we will set off and return to Chang'an immediately."

Cheng Xiaotian was very surprised: "Supervisor, let's leave now? After rewarding the army, the brothers are happy and want to make a good fight for a few days!"

"If you want to make trouble, just make trouble here. If you don't want to go to the Western Regions!" Chen Wanrong's words meant a threat.

Sure enough, Cheng Xiaotianxiang was like a fire and burning his butt: "Military Supervisor, I don't like listening to you! If you don't let me go to the Western Regions, I will be anxious! Even if you complain, I will not be afraid. Brothers, why are you still standing there? Go and arrange it quickly!"

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, they quickly walked away. The generals came over and ran away as if they were flying.

"General Yang, we want to rush back to Chang'an, so please stay here." Chen Wanrong said to Yang Sixu. It is impossible for all the generals to rush to Chang'an, and people still need to stay. Yang Sixu is decisive and proficient in military tactics. It would be better for him to stay.

This was a very good decision, but Yang Sixu negotiated the conditions: "The military supervisor, it's okay to ask me to stay, but I have a request. I have to go to the Western Regions."

"General Yang has the will to fight, so it makes people feel angry when they hear it!" Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "It's not clear whether I can go to the Western Regions. If I say it, I can count on you."

Yang Sixu smiled and said, "This time I go to the Western Regions, I must be the supervisor of the army. Otherwise, the emperor would not ask you to transfer troops to Longxi."

Song Jing added: "If nothing unexpected happens, the military supervisor will go to the Western Regions."

Li Longji has not yet officially appointed a general, so Chen Wanrong certainly cannot regard himself as a lie.

Not long after, the generals arrived one after another and said they were ready. Chen Wanrong stood up and said, "Okay, we're going to set off now! General Yang, please trouble you."

"It should be!" Yang Sixu sent Chen Wanrong and the others out of the military camp.

Chen Wanrong and Song Jing, together with the generals, rushed to Chang'an at night.

Geshuhan fought in the Western Regions in a bad situation, hoping that reinforcements would be as good as the stars. Chen Wanrong and the generals were not at all on the road, and they rushed straight to the stars except for eating and sleeping.

That's it, it took me more than a day to arrive in Chang'an. Looking at the tall and majestic Jianchun Gate, the generals were very happy and said in a lingering manner: "We are here in Chang'an!"

Of course, Chen Zairong was the happiest person. He caught Mochuo when he first went to the battlefield. This was a wonderful achievement. Chen and the others knew it, but they didn’t know how to be happy.

However, he could not go home yet, so Chen Wanrong took the generals straight to the Daming Palace. When he arrived in front of the Daming Palace, the soldiers guarding the gate were all very proud and proud when they saw so many generals coming. When they saw that Chen Wanrong was leading the team clearly, without saying a word, they sent someone to report to Li Longji while letting them in.

As soon as he entered the Daming Palace, soldiers immediately came up to take the reins and took the horse to feed the fodder.

Gao Lishi ran over and said from afar: "Military Supervisor, you are here. The emperor is looking forward to you every day! Please! Please, dear generals, please!"

Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and said, "I have met Eunuch Gao!"

"I have seen General Chen! General Chen, the emperor is waiting for you in Luanxiang Pavilion!" Gao Lishi said a lot today. After all, the victory in the North is very exciting, and he was naturally happy to see the generals who returned from the war.

Chen Wanrong understood his feelings and led the generals to Luanxiang Pavilion. As soon as he arrived at Luanxiang Pavilion, he saw Li Longji come out of the house, and he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"See the Emperor!" The generals saluted in unison.

Li Longji waved his right hand and said, "No gift! You are not washed away, and you are so dusty. Are you going to the palace directly?"

Chen Wanrong replied on behalf of the generals: "Military situation is urgent, and I dare not take any responsibility!"

Li Longji glanced at Song Jing, meaning that it must be yours, and smiled and said, "My generals! Generals who have returned from victory, please come in the room!"

Although he did not intend to celebrate the big show, Li Longji was still very satisfied with the battle and was in a good mood. He actually used the word "Ask". The generals were really flattered and thanked each other in unison before entering the house.

Li Longji took Chen Zairong's hand and smiled and said, "Chen Zairong, it seems that it is a wise decision to put you in the army! As soon as you came out, you actually captured Mochu alive, OK!"

When Chen Zairong was in the Eastern Palace, Li Longji was highly valued by him. The two often practiced swords together. Chen Zairong made such a great contribution, and Li Longji was also happy for him.

"Thank you for your praise, this is the emperor's grace!" Chen Zairong was as humble as ever.

Li Longji patted his back, then let him go, took everyone into the house, and asked everyone to sit down. Gao Lishi hurriedly brought the servants to bring tea.

Just after getting settled, Yao Chong arrived and Li Longji ordered him to sit down.

Li Longji glanced at the generals and said, "It's very hard for you to come to Chang'an. I guess you are hungry, right? Have some snacks first, and then let's discuss things."

"Your Majesty, just talk about it, we can stand it." Cheng Xiaotian was a little anxious.

"General Cheng, why are you anxious?" Li Longji asked back.

Cheng Xiaotian said anxiously: "I am rushing on the way and thinking. If I guess correctly, it must be that the military situation in the Western Regions is urgent. The military situation is like fire, and I am in a hurry!"

Li Longji looked at Chen Wanrong and thought to himself that your tone was quite tight, but he didn't reveal: "No matter how tight the military situation is, I don't care about such a little time! Let's talk about it after using the snacks."

Gao Lishi hurriedly ordered someone to bring snacks. The generals were indeed a little hungry when they were on the way, so they didn't hesitate to grab the snacks and eat them.

I wanted to learn about the situation in the Western Regions early, but Chen Wanrong was in the mood to eat snacks. After only two pieces of food, I stopped eating them after a little relief. Cheng Xiaotian and the others thought the same as Chen Wanrong, and only added a little snack and stopped moving.

Li Longji saw it and was happy in his heart. He kept nodding and applauding: "I feel so relieved that you can have such a fighting spirit! You have used it, let's talk about the Western Regions! Since the New Year, Geshuhan led his army into the Western Regions, and the progress was very smooth. In a battle with Dashi in Talas, he annihilated 150,000 enemies and became a great Chinese hero! If Gu Taibai hadn't escaped quickly, he would have been a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty. He was lucky!"

After decades of fighting with the Dashi, there was no such great victory in the Tang Dynasty. The generals were very excited and their eyes shone.

Li Longji changed the subject and said, "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Ge Shuhan is in trouble!"

"Emperor, what kind of trouble does General Geshu encounter?" The generals were very nervous and stared at Li Longji. Looking directly at the emperor was very rude, but because they were too concerned about military affairs, the generals could not care much about it.

Li Longji continued: "After the Battle of Talas, Geshuhan led his army to advance with the power of great victory, and did not encounter any decent resistance. Khorasan was the old land of Persia. Persia was attacked by the Great Food during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and sent people to Chang'an to seek help from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong considered that the journey was too far and the supply difficulties were difficult, so he did not send troops. Later, Persia captured the Great Food, and the Persian king Beilus had nowhere to go, so he came to the Western Regions and with the help of the Tang Dynasty, he came to Chang'an. Beilus finally died of old age! Hulusan was the territory of Beilus."

The incident of Beilus coming to Chang'an spread to the world. Although it has been decades, it is still well-known to people. When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the journey is too far, otherwise, how could Dashi be so rampant!"

Li Longji waved his hand and asked them to calm down, saying: "Although Dashi defeated Persia decades ago, many places in Persia were dissatisfied and still resisted. It was not until the past ten years that Hacha had only presided over the Eastern affairs and sent Gu Taibai to suppress the resistance here. Even so, the people here were dissatisfied. Geshuhan and others arrived, and the people here surrendered. Hacha had to mobilize heavy troops to stop Gu Taibai's defeat, and immediately mobilized heavy troops to stop it. The two armies met and had a fierce battle. At the critical moment of the war, Hacha only used a firearm called Greek fire, which could spray a flame of one or two feet long. Water and fire were ruthless, so Geshuhan could not resist it and had to order a retreat.

"Although the progress is not smooth, it cannot be said to be a defeat. It is just a small setback and the loss is not big. What Geshuhan needs most now is artillery. If Geshuhan went west to carry artillery, there would not be such setbacks. The weather was too cold at that time, and it was not convenient to advance with artillery, so he did not carry it. This was my mistake!"

"Emperor!" The emperor could not admit his mistake. Li Longji openly admitted his mistake. This kind of mind was really convincing, and the generals were very moved.

"It's my fault, there's nothing to hide from it!" Li Longji nodded at Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi led people to hang out a huge map.

Li Longji walked to the map and said, "This is the situation map of the Western Regions! The Western Regions we knew before were less than one-tenth of that of the entire Western Regions. The Dashi area is very vast, not small compared to the Tang Dynasty. To the west of the Dashi, there is a large country called the Roman Empire, which is the country our Tang Dynasty called the Daqin! Here!"
Chapter completed!
