Du Qi started early, had breakfast with his grandson Shunde, and led the team to the south. But when he went south, Du Qi asked Li Daen to arrange someone to diagnose and treat the captured Turkic people, so as to avoid more deaths. Li Daen naturally complied with Du Qi's arrangement.
And the breakfast in the morning was prepared by Liu Jian, with meat porridge and some side dishes.
There is no meat, but the taste is excellent.
Changsun Shunde and Li Daen are familiar with this taste, but the problem is that Shibobi is eaten with it. After eating the Shibobi, he was extremely shocked by Du Qi's life.
Du Qitai will enjoy it.
The food is so delicious.
Even if Shi Bobi has been in the north, he always eats meat. The problem is, when he tasted the porridge, he was amazed. Especially after the group set off to the south, along the way, Shibobi finally saw what it means to enjoy on the tip of the tongue. Whether it was lunch or evening meals, they were all delicacies, and they were delicacies he had never tasted before.
Shi Bobi went south all the way, and ate for a period of time, and never ate repeated meals.
So much so that he was a little reluctant to leave.
He had already been conquered by this smell before he met the emperor of Tang Dynasty. It's just that when Shibobi and Du Qi's group went south, the sentry scouts sent by Li Da'en, at an accelerated speed of 800 li, had already returned one step ahead and entered the territory of Chang'an.
As soon as he arrived outside the city of Chang'an, the sentry ran and shouted: "Great victory at Yanmen Pass, great victory at Yanmen Pass!"
He shouted loudly.
Especially when he came to the north gate of Chang'an City, because of the shouts of the sentries, the soldiers stationed at the gate of the city did not dare to stop him and let him pass.
This kind of battle report, without anyone blocking it, must be sent to the palace quickly, and there are already cavalry at the gate, so the news will be sent back to the palace first, so that Li Yuan can get the news in advance.
After Li Yuan got the news, he was very curious. In the direction of Yanmen in Daizhou, the army led by Li Daen was stationed. The problem is that there was no war between Li Daen and the Turks.
?The imperial court didn't know anything about the war in the north, so how could there be any victory at Yanmen Pass?
Li Yuan immediately gave orders to meet the sentry as soon as he arrived. So when the scouts arrived outside the imperial city, someone led them into the city and came to the Ganlu Hall.
Sentinel rushed back all the way, even though he was skilled in riding and could run continuously and quickly, his legs were already a little scarred due to constant friction with the horse's back, so he couldn't close his thighs when he walked, and his posture was a bit weird.
Entering the main hall, the sentry took out the battle report, held his hands in his hands, and saluted respectfully. Xiao Li came over to take the battle report, then took small steps, came to Li Yuan, and spread out the battle report.
Li Yuan looked down.
Although Li Yuan is also getting old, Li Yuan can clearly read the words on the battle report. When he saw it, he was suddenly shocked, because the news in the battle report was too shocking.
In the Battle of Yanmen Pass, nearly 40,000 Turks were beheaded, more than 20,000 Turks were captured, and more than 40,000 horses were left. Such a feat is simply a great feat. Compared with the Great Sui period, the achievements in foreign wars are even stronger.
Li Yuan looked shocked, put his hands on the desk, and stood up suddenly. He walked down directly, came to the front of the sentry, stared at the sentry with burning eyes, and asked: "I ask you, did Yanmen Pass really achieve a great victory and kill countless Turkic people?"
"yes!"
Sentinel replied firmly.
Anyway, Sentry also participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, so he held his head up and was full of confidence.
Li Yuan nodded, so he was relieved.
In fact, after reading the letter, Li Yuan almost believed the news of the battle report. Because in Li Daen's battle report, the whole battle plan and the whole battle process are written in extremely detailed and clear.
There is no omission.
Li Yuan waved his hand and told the sentinel to step back and rest.
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li, and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, during the catastrophe at Yanmen Pass, nearly 40,000 Turkic people were beheaded, more than 25,000 people were captured, and more than 40,000 war horses were captured. , To have achieved such a great achievement, the Tang Dynasty is mighty!!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Li has been by Li Yuan's side all the time, so he knows that it is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to establish a country, and he also knows that it is not easy for the soldiers on the border. Now the great victory at Yanmen Pass, the military exploits achieved can be called magnificent.
Today's Datang needs such a great victory.
Li Yuan's face was cheerful, and at this moment, his face seemed to be radiant, his eyes were bright, and he looked younger by several years. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back?, very happy in my heart.
It's just that when Li Yuan was pacing back and forth, he suddenly thought of the contents of the battle report, and sat down again.
Li Yuan browsed carefully again.
"Hahaha¡¡"
After reading it, Li Yuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Xiao Li looked puzzled and asked, "Why is Your Majesty laughing? You read the battle report again. Could it be that there is something special hidden in this battle report?"
In fact, Xiao Li stood aside. He has good eyesight and can read the contents of the battle report. He also saw the weirdness, so he asked in order to cooperate with Li Yuan.
Li Yuan explained: "Xiao Li, come, come, come and take a look."
Xiao Li immediately moved closer.
Li Yuan stretched out his finger to the battle report, and explained: "Look carefully here, the records on the battle report are mainly about Li Dayen's deployment of troops and mobilization of troops from Daizhou to participate in the battle."
"But later, Du Qi was mentioned. Li Daen said that Du Qi was in charge of the planning and layout of the entire war, and made various arrangements with the Turks. It can be seen that Du Qi was in charge of this battle."
"Li Dayen also said that Du Qi was unwilling to show up, and asked Li Dayen to reduce his appearance. From this point of view, Du Qi is the key figure in the victory of this battle."
Li Yuan said: "What do you think?"
Xiao Li echoed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuan continued: "This kid Du Qi is indeed powerful. With the help of Li Dayen's military strength, he single-handedly shook up the situation on the entire border, and even severely damaged the Turks. Back then, when I saw him, I knew that this kid was extraordinary."
Xiao Li laughed and said: "Du Qi is young, and it is actually not appropriate to confer the title of seventh-rank Xuan Yilang. After all, Du Qi is too young."
"It was His Majesty who tried his best to promote Du Qi. Therefore, Du Qi is here today, and Du Qi can show his talents. From this point of view, he is also His Majesty's sage."
"What's more, Du Qi was able to complete the plan for this battle, in fact, because His Majesty boldly delegated power and granted Du Qi to act cheaply in the north. Without His Majesty's trust, it is impossible to win this battle."
Every sentence of Xiao Li's words was spoken in Li Yuan's heart, which made Li Yuan happy to hear it.
Li Yuan stroked the beard under his chin, very contented.
Li Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Although Li Dayen's battle report can be roughly inferred, it is also vague. Many details are not clear. It stands to reason that Changsun Shunde should have a secret report to send back the Yanmen Pass victory."
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise, it should be soon."
"Step! Step!"
At this moment, a small eunuch entered.
After the little eunuch entered, he bowed to Li Yuan, took out a secret report, and handed it to Xiao Li.
This secret report was sent by Changsun Shunde.
It was also the secret report sent back by Changsun Shunde that Xiao Li arranged for the eunuch to deliver it immediately. As for the rest of the secret reports, it is impossible to send them directly to the Temple of Manna.
Xiao Li handed it to Li Yuan, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, General Changsun just arranged for someone to secretly send it back. The details of this battle should be included."
Li Yuan opened the letter in a hurry, and quickly browsed through the ten lines at a glance. It's just that Li Yuan frowned when he saw the beginning of the letter. Because Changsun Shunde's secret report was written after leaving Chang'an.
?Eldest Sun Shunde has the right to play in secret, and there is always someone around him who is in charge of sending messages. He could send messages along the way, but when he went north, there was no important news at the beginning, and no one was arranged to send messages from the beginning to the end.
Now that Yanmen Pass has been won, everything is settled, and there is no need to record any more news, Changsun Shunde wrote a complete secret report and sent it back. The person who sent the secret report was only a little later than the urgent information from Babaili.
And the content at the beginning of this letter is that Changsun Shunde and his party were ambushed as soon as they entered Puzhou.
Thanks to Jiang Quansheng's 100 Xuanjia elite cavalry for this matter, otherwise, both Changsun Shunde and Du Qi would have died. The most important thing is that Changsun Shunde explained how the assassin knew Du Qi.
After Li Yuan watched the whole process of the assassination, he sat down and leaned against the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.
Li Yuandao: "Xiao Li, Changsun Shunde and Du Qi's group were ambushed as soon as they entered Puzhou, Hedong Road shortly after leaving Chang'an, do you know?"
"Slaves don't know!"
Xiao Li shook his head and answered.
He really has no news about this matter.
Li Yuan slapped the desk, and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that the assassin knew Du Qi's name, and obviously went straight to Du Qi. Tell me, what could be going on? "(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com), said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that the person who assassinated knew Du Qi's name, and obviously went straight to Du Qi.
