Chapter 98 Good news comes to Chang'an
“So, it’s really a fluke that we succeeded this time!”
Chai Shao sighed after listening to Ji Song's account of the whole process.
Indeed, had it not been for the sudden appearance of Ashina Zhaokui in the Turkic army, which deprived Ashina Zhongyi of his military power, Ji Song would not have been so successful in creating such chaos in the enemy camp.
Even more fortunately, the entire process of assassinating Ashina Tadayoshi went surprisingly smoothly.
It was as if there was divine help. Even Ji Song was very happy when he thought about it at this time!
"Yes! Who would have thought that the enemy that I, Ji, wanted to kill in my dreams, could be killed so easily by me. Thinking about it now is like living in a dream!" Ji Song said.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this. I have already sent the good news to Chang'an to present to His Majesty.
Chang'an needs this victory so much at this time. I estimate that His Majesty will reward you heavily this time. You must prepare in advance and don't panic! "
After saying this, Chai Shao felt envious. Ji Song accomplished this feat alone, no, with a rough guy.
Without Ji Song creating chaos within the enemy, this great victory would not have been possible.
Annihilating 500 cavalry with less than [-] casualties, what a brilliant achievement!
With this skill alone, Ji Song will be able to quickly gain a foothold after entering the court in the future, and others will not be able to say anything.
"It doesn't matter to me whether I have merit or not. Anyway, I'm still young and can't be an official, so it's no big deal." Ji Song said indifferently.
Chai Shao looked at Ji Song and was speechless for a while. Look, is this what a human said?
What does it mean?The wealth that others could not envy was worthless in his eyes.
But considering the wealth of his Ji family and the abilities of this boy, Chai Shao found that this was really nothing.
Wealth, this boy still holds on to [-]% of the perfume, and earns at least tens of thousands of dollars every year. He really doesn't think much of the rewards given by the court.
Quan, as he said himself, is still young at this time, and His Majesty will not let him enter the court so early. This is also the most useless for him.
Expensive, need I say that?The two battles were both first achievements, and His Majesty, the founding lord of the country, could still afford them.
Thinking that Ji Song, at such a young age, had achieved achievements that others could not achieve in their lifetime, Chai Shao felt a little envious.
Not to mention Chai Shao's envy and Ji Song's joy of having his revenge, at this moment, Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Palace was furious, and his roar like a giant dragon resounded throughout the palace.
"With no reinforcements, no troops, and no way to escape, are we just going to watch my elite cavalry being wiped out by the Turks?"
"Yu Chigong is not allowed to leave on the south bank of the Wei River in Jingyang. The other generals are also guarding their respective sides. There is no way to go to support, Your Majesty!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, it's not that the generals don't go to support, but most of them are infantry. Even if they go to support, it's too late."
"Isn't there any other way?"
Seeing the silent civil servants and generals, Li Shimin slumped down on the dragon chair.
He really couldn't accept that one-third of the black armor cavalry would be lost to the Turks' iron cavalry.
You must know that during his many years of fighting in the north and south, excluding those killed and disabled in battle, the number of Xuanjia Cavalry at this time was less than 6000.
Among them, two thousand were guarding the border in Beijun, two thousand were guarding the palace in Chang'an, and the remaining two thousand were given to Chai Shao.
But now someone told him that the two thousand soldiers who had followed him through life and death might become someone else's heroic achievement tomorrow. How could he accept this? "His Majesty."
"report"
Just when Changsun Wuji was about to say something, an urgent message from outside the hall interrupted him.
"Bring people in!"
Li Shimin was shocked, and said while holding back his body that was about to faint.
Just when everyone was waiting for a short time, Chen Shou, who had gone out to deliver a message, hurried in and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so happy!"
"Victory, victory, great victory!" "What a joy, what a great victory?" Li Shimin said in a trembling voice.
"It's Chai Prince Consort, it's Chai Prince Consort's good news, we win!
In the first battle, Zhaowu captain Ji Song defeated [-] cavalry and defeated [-] Turkic cavalry, breaking the siege of Gaoling, killing [-] enemies and capturing more than [-] prisoners.
He also got four thousand good horses and horses, heavy baggage and useless equipment, and he was able to kill the enemy's general Asdewu without a sip. "
"Second War"
Before Chen Shou could finish reciting, Li Shimin snatched the good news from Chen Shou, ignoring the shocked courtiers.
At this time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others had woken up and knew that they had really won, and they burst into tears of joy.
"Your Majesty, can you allow me to read the good news?"
Fang Xuanling looked at the emperor eagerly. This victory came too soon.
Not only did they save the elite cavalry that Tang Dynasty had finally built themselves, but they also won such a great victory, they couldn't help but be excited.
"Okay, then Xuanling will read it and let everyone listen carefully!"
Li Shimin didn't look decadent at this time. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was high-spirited.
"In the second battle, our army encountered [-] enemy cavalry on the way back. However, our army had just experienced a big battle and was exhausted at this time. I could only retreat and form a stronghold to wait for reinforcements!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded, saying that this was the safest way.
Fang Xuanling did not stop and continued reading: "Originally, I was ready to die for my country. However, Ji Song, the Zhaowu captain in the army, was brave enough to do his job and stepped forward in times of crisis.
Taking the escaped general Xue Wanche, he sneaked into the enemy camp, assassinated the general Ashina Zhongyi, and then set fire to the enemy camp to create chaos.
The minister cooperated with his inner and outer forces and attacked the enemy camp in the middle of the night. With the help of heaven, the enemy troops were completely wiped out. "
"what!"
The ministers never expected that something like this would happen. Someone actually sneaked into the enemy camp to assassinate the enemy general, and he succeeded.
"After daybreak, I will count the battle losses and seizures. Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, this battle resulted in [-] casualties, killing [-] enemies and taking [-] prisoners. The rest are missing. In addition, the enemy chief's third son, Ashina Zhaokui, was captured alive and was quickly taken to Chang'an to be presented to the emperor! "
"shush"
Fang Xuanling secretly sighed and then finished reading the victory report. At this moment, he could imagine what a crisis that night would have been, if he hadn't assassinated the enemy general and created chaos in the enemy camp.
I am afraid that their entire army has been annihilated by this time, and there will be no chance of a great victory later.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, I congratulate Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"
"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to Tang!"
……
"Good, good, good!"
Li Shimin didn't even know what words to use to describe his mood at this time.
"Brother Song, you are indeed my lucky star!"
He agreed to Ji Song's request at that time, just because he wanted to experience this young man who always surprised him.
But this time it was really surprising. In both battles, he ranked first in both battles.
He did not doubt the authenticity of military exploits, because it was too easy to check. No one dared to take such a big risk to fake military exploits. This was a serious crime!
"It's just that isn't Xue Wanche dead?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
