Chapter 252 Triumph

Chapter 252 Triumph

3 people went out to fight, but when they returned, there were only a little over 2.

Except for 2000 people left behind, the rest were buried in Gaochang.

More than 3000 people died on the way, and after several wars, more than 2000 people died.

After so many people died, the army didn't feel any sadness, except that they were used to seeing death, and they also had the joy of winning a battle.

It's no wonder that the ancients would write verses that will make everything come true.

After winning a battle, it is the generals who get benefits, and the soldiers who died can at most get some pensions.

Years later, who remembers who they are?

Thousands of years later, there are the most records in the history books, Hou Jun gathered to destroy Gaochang, and he may not even record how many people he lost.

Lin Xuan admitted that he was a little sentimental.

When they came, Lin Xuan specially prepared more than a dozen carts of supplies, except that the saltpeter was used up, and the alcohol was useless.

He was originally prepared for his soldiers, who knows that he never fought a battle.

There were casualties on Hou Junji's side, but he was sent by Hou Junji to guard the dangerous pass, and he was out of reach.

……

The army went out and returned victorious, and Chang'an was a sensation.

The Ministry of Rites prepared the triumphant ceremony in the suburbs.

Li Shimin led all the civil and military officials, and left Chang'an City in a mighty way, and Chang'an City was empty of thousands of people.

No matter what, this is also a battle to destroy the country, and it is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

Not long after, the expedition army came into everyone's eyes.

Hou Junji was in front, followed by Qibi Heli and Xue Wanjun, followed by Lin Xuan and some other generals.

Cheng Chumo and the others are just school lieutenants and can only be with the army.

In the distance, everyone got off their horses and walked towards Li Shimin on foot.

Hou Junji bowed and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Hou Junji, chief officer of Jiaohejiao Hedao's march, was ordered to go to Gaochang and lead the army to return in triumph. I report to Your Majesty!"

"Okay, the soldiers fought bloody battles to promote the country's prestige in the Tang Dynasty. I am very relieved. Today, Chang'an is empty with thousands of people, just to welcome the hero of the Tang Dynasty back in triumph!" Li Shimin said impassionedly.

Li Shimin was very excited about such a feat in the battle of destroying the country and rebuilding the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

After the sacrifice, it is to offer to Li Shimin.

Hou Junji held the memorial that recorded the seizure with both hands, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it and looked at it pretendingly.

When the army was approaching Chang'an, Li Shimin had already received the battle report written by Hou Junji.

Li Shimin didn't think much about the suicide of King Gaochang and his concubine.

There are very few treasures in the Gaochang Kingdom, and Li Shimin didn't doubt it.

In his view, it is normal for Gaochang to be poor for a small country.

The land of Tang Dynasty is so big, wasn't he also poor before.

"The army is returning to the camp. Today I will reward the three armies. Tonight I will hold a banquet in the palace to reward the generals!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

After Li Shimin returned to the palace, the army entered Chang'an city mightily.

Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing also came to watch the triumphant ceremony.

Seeing that Lin Xuan has been darkened a lot, I feel very distressed.

They knew that Lin Xuan had something to do and might not be able to come home today. After the triumphant ceremony, they went back on their own.

……

Lin Xuan led the army back to the camp, ordered Xue Rengui and others to set up the army, and left the camp with the farmers with cotton seeds.

These farmers are precious to him.

In addition to those who can make wine, there are some who know how to grow cotton.

Lin Xuan rode a horse, and not long after leaving Chang'an City, he stepped onto a concrete road.

This concrete road was built by Lin Xuan before Xu Guangfu.

When he left for the expedition, he had just started leveling the road, and now it has been repaired after more than three months.

Lin Xuan took a closer look. Although it was far worse than the later generations, it was completely sufficient in ancient times.

The guard at the gate panicked when he saw a group of people coming on horseback. When he saw Lin Xuan who was in the lead, he shouted in surprise, "Master is back!"

Being clever, he ran in to report the news.

"I have seen you, son, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

Lin Xuan dismounted, handed the horse to Liu Da, and asked, "Are parents at home?"

The servant said: "Young Master, Master and Madam have just returned from watching the triumphant ceremony, and someone has already reported it."

Lin Xuan nodded and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing running over with happy faces.

"Xuan'er!" Zhang Qing's tone trembled.

Although I have seen Lin Xuan outside the city just now, I am still very excited now.

Lin Xuan ran over to support Zhang Qing, and said with a smile, "Mother, the child is back!"

Zhang Qing stroked Lin Xuan's face and said with a smile, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Although Lin Dongyang was also a little excited, compared to Zhang Qing, he was much more reserved.

But Lin Xuan still saw excitement and joy in his eyes.

"You must be tired after such a journey, go take a bath first, and then talk." Lin Dongyang said calmly.

Zhang Qing quickly said: "Yes, yes, Xuan'er, mother has already informed Chunyue and the others to prepare water, you should go take a bath."

"Father and mother, the child will come over to say hello later!" Lin Xuan said.

He hadn't had a good bath since he left for the expedition.

In the territory of Datang, you can still flush. After entering the desert, water is a scarce thing, and there is not enough to drink, and it is impossible to take a bath.

When Chunyue and Yuhe learned that Lin Xuan had returned, they were excited and wanted to greet him.

But they were just maids, and Zhang Qing sent someone to prepare bath water, so they could only wait honestly in the yard.

Although they were busy working, their eyes looked at the courtyard door from time to time.

When he saw Lin Xuan walking in, he quickly put down what he was doing and greeted him.

"Congratulations, Young Master, on your triumphant return!" Chunyue and Yuhe saluted excitedly.

"Haha, the young master has been away for so long, do you miss the young master?" Lin Xuan teased.

The two girls couldn't stand Lin Xuan's teasing, and lowered their heads shyly.

"Is the water ready? My son, I have to wash it well." Lin Xuan said.

The days to come are long, and he is sticky all over, so he really wants to take a good bath.

"My lord, I'm ready!" Chunyue said.

……

When the army entered the city, Hou Jun gathered his troops in Gaochang to loot, so naturally he couldn't hide it.

It didn't take long before it spread throughout Chang'an City.

The people in Chang'an City couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and they didn't take it seriously.

But those officials can naturally distinguish between true and false.

The people of the aristocratic family tried their best to suppress this matter.

Before they sent people to steal Lin Xuan's business, Li Shimin took advantage of it and dealt with many officials from aristocratic families.

Selling private salt was dealt with by Li Shimin.

It can be said that their vitality was seriously injured, and Hou Junji had already been involved with them and had military power, so they naturally didn't want anything to happen to Hou Junji at this time.

When the military officers heard the news, although they were not ashamed of Hou Junji's actions, they were generals after all, so they pretended they hadn't heard it.

It is different for those civil servants who do not belong to the family.

Ever since Hou Junji wiped out Gaochang, the military generals in the court became more and more active.

Since ancient times, civil and military discord, seeing this opportunity, civil officials naturally thought about how to impeach Hou Junji.

Of course, today is the time for Li Shimin to reward the three armies, and they have no intention of impeachment now.

Prepare to collect evidence first, and launch an attack tomorrow morning.

Of course Li Shimin heard the news, and to be honest, he didn't care.

But he knew the repercussions of this incident, so he had some headaches.

If at the celebration banquet, the coach who has made great contributions is impeached, will he be punished or not?

Li Shimin had no choice but to order Li Mu to imply that those ministers, no matter what, should not cause trouble at the celebration meeting.
