Chapter 2 All Nations Come to DPRK
Luoyang, Ganlu Hall.
Wu Zetian wore a crown and a royal robe, and was majestic. She sat upright on the throne with a smile on her face.
Since the news of the victory in Jikou came, Wu Zetian couldn't close his mouth all day long.
Wu Zetian was an emperor with great achievements in Chinese history, and his civil and military achievements were extraordinary. However, such a great victory was only once in her life, and such a great victory was rare even if she looked at the entire Chinese history. Compared with this, it may be the only "Decisive Battle of Mobei" initiated by Emperor Wu of Han and Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan. Can Wu Zetian not be happy with such great achievements?
Not only did Wu Zetian smile all day long, but also Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Song Jing, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping were also filled with joy.
Even Wu Chengsi was very happy. Although Li Longji's extraordinary charm in this battle improved Li Dan's status a lot, this was a great victory against the alien race, and he was also happy.
"How are you preparing for the celebration?" Wu Zetian asked lightly.
"Go back to Your Majesty, this matter goes well." Di Renjie replied with a smile.
"That's good." Wu Zetian said with a smile: "The War in the Likou is rare in history, and the soldiers are extremely hard-working. This celebration of the commemoration must be grand and grand, and to demonstrate the majesty of the Great Zhou!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do it!" Zhang Jianzhi patted his chest and promised.
"Yes." Wu Zetian admired Zhang Jianzhi's talent very much. Wu Zetian was relieved when he promised so much.
"Your Majesty, the memorial of King Luling." Jia Ming quickly came over and presented Li Xian's memorial.
"Oh." Wu Zetian was slightly surprised and said, "Give it."
Jia Ming hurriedly handed over the memorial. Wu Zetian took it in his hand and expanded it to browse.
Li Xian had not had a memorial for a long time. Di Renjie and the others were a little surprised and looked at Wu Zetian with wide eyes.
"The King of Luling said that he wanted to return to Luoyang to fulfill his filial piety. I think he has ulterior motives, right?" Wu Zetian was smart and saw through Li Xian's intentions at a glance, saying, "He will not submit the memorial sooner or later, but he will submit the memorial at this time and be filial. It is really ridiculous."
The Turks in the north have been solved, and there will be no border troubles in a short period of time. It is time to decide to establish a prince. Li Xian made a memorial at this time and wanted to return to Luoyang, but his intentions were obvious.
"Your Majesty, Brother Seven hasn't returned to Beijing for more than ten years. Your Majesty, you'll be sure." Li Dan rushed to say good things to Li Xian.
"Yes." Wu Zetian was a little surprised and glanced at Li Dan.
Logically speaking, Li Longji performed well, and the Turks were destroyed because of him. Li Dan's status rose sharply, and Li Dan had a greater chance of establishing a crown prince. He didn't need to let Li Xian come back to compete with him. Li Dan actually pleaded for Li Xian, and Wu Zetian was really surprised.
"Prince, are you really caring about brotherhood?" Wu Zetian's eyes shone brightly and he stared at Li Xian desperately.
"Yes." Li Dan blurted out without thinking.
Wu Zetian smiled and nodded in admiration, saying, "Imperial Hero, you care about your brotherhood, it's great! Very good!"
"Your Majesty, King Luling's move is different, so it is not advisable to let him return to the capital." Wu Chengsi certainly did not want Li Xian to return to the capital, so he could make trouble for him to fight for the throne.
"Your Majesty, you need to be cautious when Brother Seven comes back." Princess Taiping didn't want Li Xian to return to Beijing.
Although Li Xian was not very talented and Princess Taiping didn't take him seriously, Li Xian had been an emperor after all and still had a considerable influence. If he returned to Beijing, it would add a lot of variables to Princess Taiping's fight for the throne.
"Little sister, what do you mean?" Li Dan was angry and shouted at Princess Taiping: "Brother Qi has been away from Beijing for more than ten years. Will you still know him in a few years? Brother Wu loves you so much! Humph!"
Li Dan is a soft boy. He rarely gets angry in front of Wu Zetian, and he can count it with his fingers. He got angry today, which surprised Wu Zetian very much.
"Your Majesty, you'll be right." Li Dan greeted Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty is old. In addition to handling state affairs, it is not appropriate to let your children and grandchildren be filial and enjoy the joy of human relations?"
"Yes." Wu Zetian tapped gently, and a happy look appeared on his face.
As an elderly person, who doesn’t want their children and grandchildren to be filial?
"Your Majesty, Brother Qi has added a few grandchildren to you. You have never seen them yet?" Li Dan played the emotional card.
"Yes." Wu Zetian nodded and said, "The King of Luling gave birth to several more sons and daughters in more than ten years. These are my grandchildren. I have never seen them before. I really miss them a little. I sent an order and returned to the capital."

In the northern part of Mo, the tent of the ninth surname Tielle king.
The nine-sentence Tiele leader and a group of ministers were present, each of whom was full of fear and did not dare to show off, as if there was something hugely afraid of fear.
Since the news of the demise of the Turks spread, the nine surnames Tiele were frightened and lived a life of like a year.
"The Turks have been destroyed, and the idea of sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight is no longer possible. If we do not send troops to help the court in time, the court will definitely ask for punishment. What should we do?" The leader of the nine-sentence Tiele asked in fear.
At the beginning of the war, he summoned all the ministers to ask for advice, unanimously agreeing that he should sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and wait until the end to send troops to help the Tang Dynasty. However, the progress of this battle far exceeded his expectations. According to him, this battle did not last for a year or two, but he did not think about it, and it ended in less than two months.
Moreover, the results achieved by the Tang Dynasty far exceeded their imagination and even killed millions of Turks.
This is so shocking that they are afraid of thinking about it.
"We originally expected the Tang army to fight against the Turks to lose both sides, so we could make profits, but we didn't expect that the Turks would be so unstoppable and would be finished so quickly. Our idea of profits was useless, so we had to send someone to apologize to the court and beg the court to forgive us."
"I have a good idea, but will the court forgive us? You must know that the court has won a great victory now, with high morale and strong soldiers. If the court sends troops into Mobei to question the crime, it will be easy."
"What other ways can we do besides apologizing? We can't beat us, and we have no place to escape. Even if we escape to the vast sea, the court will chase us."
My ministers, I will give you an idea.
"We really have no choice but to apologize for guilt." The leader of the Nine-sented Tiel nodded and said, "Immediately send an envoy to God to apologize for guilt. You should bring more generous gifts and provide some things."

It is also the Uighur King's tent.
The Uighur leaders and a group of ministers were here, and they didn't dare to show up.
At the beginning of the war, they also had the same idea as the nine surnamed Tiele. They thought it was a good idea at the time, but now they thought it was so stupid. If they had known this, the Uighurs would have sent troops to help the Tang army.
However, it is too late to say anything now, and what they fear most is that the Tang Dynasty attacked them. If there were Turks in front of them in the past, the Tang Dynasty would have the will but not enough strength, but now it would be easy.
After some discussion, unanimous decision: "Send someone to Luoyang with generous gifts, and ask for forgiveness from the court."

Northeast, Songmo Protectorate.
Khitan leader Sun Wanrong was discussing affairs with a group of ministers. They were all smiling happily and were so happy that they could not speak.
"Haha!" Sun Wanrong laughed loudly, saying, "This battle was so interesting. Mochuo first decided to fight, but it was broken by the Tang army, and he had to keep the Turkic army away from the water and grasslands. This was a wonderful strategy, but it was still broken by the Tang army. Wang Xiaojie deserves to be a famous general. Once Heisha City was lost, the Turkic will inevitably retreat north, and the Tang army would not be able to catch up. If the Turkic return to Mobei, he will get a breather and will recover soon. The Tang Dynasty would not give the Turkic a chance to breathe, and would inevitably send a large army to chase into Mobei and give the Turkic a fatal blow. This battle will not end in a short time."
Speaking of this, his tone turned higher and he said, "The army of the Tang Dynasty was dragged down by the Turks and it was difficult to take care of us in a short period of time. Our opportunity has come. We should take this opportunity to launch a large-scale battle in Songmo."
"Haha!" The Khitan ministers burst into a terrifying and crazy laughter.
As long as the Songmo land, that is, the three northeastern provinces, are conquered, the power of the Khitan will increase greatly. By then, even if the Tang Dynasty attacks, the Khitan will not be afraid.
"Set out!" Sun Wanrong stood up suddenly, walked out quickly, and the ministers followed closely.
After leaving the tent, Sun Wanrong gave the order, the Khitan army began to assemble.
At this time, the Khitan was far less powerful than later generations, with only 40,000 troops in total. The army was small in number and poorly equipped, mostly leather armor, and iron armor was pitifully small.
"Warriors: The Tang army was dragged by the Turks. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come. It's time for us to conquer the Songmo land!" Sun Wanrong rode a tall horse and spoke loudly, saying, "Warriors: For the rise of the Khitan, fight as much as possible! Kill it all the way!"
"Long live the Khitan!" The Khitan army burst into a shocking roar.
Looking at the Khitan army with high fighting spirit, Sun Wanrong was extremely excited and was about to order to set off.
"The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." At this moment, a team of scouts rushed over, shouting from afar, each with fear on his face.
"What's wrong?" Sun Wanrong's face turned gloomy and he asked loudly.
The Tang army was dragged by the Turks. Now it was his good opportunity to conquer the Songmo land. How could something bad happen?
"The entire Turkic army was destroyed!"
"Mochu was captured alive!"
These scouts shouted loudly.
"What? What? What? What? The entire Turkic army was destroyed? Mochu was captured?" Sun Wanrong was stunned, then snorted disdainfully, scolded, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! The Turkic army cannot defeat the Tang army, will it not escape? It is easy for the Turkic army to escape, even if they have wings, the Tang army can't catch up."
"That's right!" the ministers agreed loudly.
The desert is the home of the Turks. The Turks are extremely familiar with them. If the Turks want to escape, the Tang army will definitely not be able to catch up.
"The Turks escaped, but they were blocked by Li Longji at Jikou. Wang Xiaojie led a large army to arrive, first surrounded the Turks, and then wiped them out in one fell swoop."
"The Tang army has slaughtered millions of Turks in this battle. The stench of corpses at the mouth of the corpse can be smelled hundreds of miles away. Can this be fake?"
The scout argued loudly.
"Take it seriously?" Sun Wanrong still didn't believe it.
"How can you talk nonsense about such important news?" the scout said hurriedly.
This is reasonable. Such a major news is not so courageous if you want to lie.
