Chapter 280 Chang'an celebration

After Luo Yunsheng entered the city, he ordered people to load the collected gold, silver and treasures onto a carriage and transport them back to the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, people were sent to inquire about the progress of the Zhongtang Army.

Not long after, the news came back, and the advancement of the war exceeded Luo Yunsheng's expectations.

Tuoba Muqi and others took advantage of the empty defense of Tuyuhun to quickly conquer a large area of ​​the city.

So, when he saw Tuoba Muqi, who was empty in the enemy, he magically thought of expanding and allowing prisoners to join the army, acting in accordance with the military laws of the Zhongtang Army, and after robbing, he could distribute their money.

However, Zhong Tang Army also knew that the blind expansion was the result of the expansion of the soldiers, so the expansion was not only carefully selected.

Moreover, when the Zhong Tang army exceeds a certain number, the poorly performed soldiers will be eliminated, so that the Zhong Tang army will remain at a relatively stable number.

After hearing this, Luo Yunsheng quickly sent someone to send information to the front line, asking them not to spend time fighting and to consider the pressure of logistics.

We must search for more carriages for him so that we can transport gold, silver and treasures back to the Tang Dynasty.

What made Luo Yunsheng feel relieved was that subsequent reinforcements were entering the battlefield one after another, crossing the border, entering the Tuyuhun area, and beginning to accept the city.

Although this speed is not very fast, Luo Yunsheng knew very well that his rear was not so dangerous, and the materials could be transported back with confidence.

It must be said here that Luo Yunsheng's previous prediction was fine. When the news of the Tang Dynasty soldiers crossing the border and entering Tuyuhun, after a period of fermentation, the local defenders had no resistance at all and surrendered honestly.

So recently, Tuoba Muqi and others often have not yet prepared to attack the city, and the enemy soldiers have already fled.

However, there is a constant stream of good news, and there is naturally bad news.

Bad news Tuoba Muqi's fraud of the enemy and defrauding the city was no longer feasible.

Some large cities have begun to organize strong resistance and often have to work hard to win.

Although Chu Xing knew very well that Tuoba Muqi and others had provided him with enough help so far, Luo Yunsheng still felt a little regretful.

After all, if you cannot seize the city through fraud, then the difficulty of conquering the city in Tuyuhun will increase.

Not long after, Tuoba Muqi sent new bad news. Fu Yun had already learned about the situation in the Tang Dynasty and was trying his best to gather troops. At the same time, he recruited troops from all over the country, preparing to defend the city and fight with the king.

"There are no trees that fall into pieces and scatter."

Upon hearing this news, Luo Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh that Fu Yun's ability was not as unbearable as he imagined.

However, he didn't care much about Fu Yun's hastily and still having the mood to form a new army. In fact, compared with Fu Yun's mentality, he cared more about Tubo.

After all, if we count the days, Tubo should have received news.

Tubo's attitude was directly related to the war between him and Tuyuhun.

After all, Tuyuhun is a very powerful country. In some areas, the Tang Dynasty is not as good as others.

So, now we have to see whether Tubo wants to join this battle.

Although Luo Yunsheng knew very well that Wang Xuance, whom he sent back to the country, had been sent by His Majesty the King of Tang to pay homage to Songtsen Gampo as an envoy.

But Luo Yunsheng did not have much hope.

By the end of November, Luo Yunsheng led the brigade of Tang soldiers to set out from Baigu City again and arrived at the Lingcheng that Tuoba Muqi was currently attacking.

During this period, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also conquered several small cities, and the control of Tuyuhun in the eastern area of ​​Tuyuhun was rapidly declining.

However, the embarrassing thing is that even though Chu Xing had quickly taken down the eastern part of Tuyuhun, God was on his side, and Luo Yunsheng really had no ability to continue to march in a short period of time.

In December, heavy snow fell on Tuyuhun, and the snow was already very high.

Even if Luo Yunsheng wanted to continue to conquer the city and take down the Mausoleum City, he could only choose to stop the troops temporarily and wait until the ice and snow melted before fighting.

Although God was not open to his eyes, Luo Yunsheng was not idle either. While ordering the soldiers to repair it, he began to reward the robbed money to the soldiers, especially the soldiers of the Zhongtang Army as he ordered them to repair it.

Anyway, the matter had been discussed with Wei Zheng in advance and sent a memorial to the saint, so the saint had no objection to this.

At the same time, Tuyuhun invaded the Tang Dynasty and was defeated. The news that the Tang Dynasty Guanfeng sent Luo Yunsheng to lead his army to attack Tuyuhun and conquered nearly twenty cities in a row also began to spread throughout the Western Regions.

Nowadays, not only Tuyuhun has troubles, but all countries in the Western Regions, including Tubo, know clearly.

Even as the end of the year, even though the Tang Dynasty's political affairs were still piled up, the Tang King still announced that the court was about to enter the rest stage.

However, the continuous good news arrived in Chang'an at the end of the year, making this year's Tang Dynasty full of joy.

This year, the last court meeting.

It can be seen that this court meeting is very special.

Because some sharp-eyed ministers saw in surprise that from His Royal Highness down, a large number of princes were observing the politics in the court.

A group of princes gathered together, and this mobilization of troops made the ministers in the court unable to help but talk.

Could it be that the saint is going to make trouble again?

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's calm down.

"The hour has arrived, and all the court officials have entered the hall."

With the sound of a eunuch at the attendance hall, the ministers in the court stopped talking and followed the princes and rushed into the Xuanzheng Hall of the main hall of Daqing Hall like fish and dragons.

The princes had a noble status and were naturally at the forefront, while the court officials were at the forefront.

During this period, some courts were surprised to find that even Fang Xuanling, who had been feeling uncomfortable recently, rushed to court.

The court officials looked at each other.

It seems that today's court meeting will be very lively.

"strangeness?

Where is Lord Li Ji?"

After the court officials entered the hall, some of the palace officials were surprised to find that Li Jie, the Minister of War, had not arrived for a long time, which was a bit rare.

However, after a closer look, they became even more puzzled, because not only Li Jie, the Minister of War, did not come to the court meeting.

Even the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War did not come here, so there was no official in the Ministry of War in the entire hall.

"Mr. Du, Master Du?"

The Minister of Justice asked Chu Suiliang in a low voice: "Why is the Ministry of War absent today's court meeting?

Lord Du, do you have any news?

Could something big happened?”

Chu Suiliang smiled mysteriously when he heard this, stretched out a finger and stood it on his lips, and whispered: "Shangshu, don't be surprised, something big happened today, but it's either a bad thing... don't be impatient."

"..." The Minister of Justice looked at his colleagues in surprise.

He nodded hesitantly.

Soon, the eunuch took the lead in walking into the hall, stood at the entrance of the hall and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is here, and all the ministers are welcome."

I heard this sound all the way.

Everyone in the hall rested on the ground and bowed, and at this time, Li Shimin walked in from outside the hall.

Seeing his red face and light steps, he was obviously happy in his heart, as if he was a few years younger.

"The Lords are calm."

After sitting on the dragon throne, the Emperor of Tang raised his hand and signaled.

See this.

Everyone in the hall then stood up one after another.

At this time, the minister of the Ministry of War and the ministers on the left and right were still vacant in the hall. But strangely, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ignored the empty seats of the three people.

"Report early if you have something to do."

The eunuch shouted again with a sharp voice.

In fact, this dynasty meeting is a routine matter, and what is being talked about is nothing more than trivial matters, or conflicts caused by the mutual coverage of various powers by officials of various ministries and departments, and there is almost no important matter. After all, the real important matters have been handled by the six ministries on their own, otherwise they will be waiting for the emperor to make a judgment. I believe that the entire Tang Dynasty will be in chaos long ago.

Of course, sometimes there are special circumstances.

For example, if some people are not convenient to write on the seal or are worried that they will be cut off by others, some court officials will suddenly propose a sudden attack in the court meeting, but in most cases, this will impeach a powerful minister or member of the royal family.

But if there is no such situation as impeachment by officials, then the court will be just a formality.

But then again, even if it goes through a formality, it would be like the Minister of War and the Minister of the Right and Right Minister of the Tang Dynasty and the absent from the court meeting, which would lead to impeachment by the censors.

But what is strange is that the absence of the Ministry of War officials was not only ignored by the emperor, but also the censor in the palace turned a blind eye, which was a bit incredible.

Just as the court officials were secretly guessing, a loud shout came from outside the hall: "My minister, Li Ji, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

Hmm?

The court officials looked at each other and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the gate of the hall. However, they saw Li Jie, the Minister of War, leading two ministers and eight men, and a group of people walked into the hall in an orderly and solemn manner, standing in the center of the hall, bowing to the Tang emperor to salute.

What is Li Ji doing?

Such a mobilization of troops...

The ministers in the hall were puzzled, but they did not dare to ask rashly, so they had to close their mouths and watch quietly.

"You all have a good time... I wonder what you have to report to me?"
To be continued...
