Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 866: Twelve rounds of Ce Xun, Luo Ming is on the roll!
Under the twilight, Luo Xuanye rode the light and returned with blood. Behind him, more than two thousand Tang army cavalry looked happy.

Yuchi Gong's more than 3,000 soldiers were completely wiped out, and almost all of them had meritorious service. The so-called twelve rounds of honors, titles are rare, but honors are even rarer.

Both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel have requested that the first rank in the hard battle in the prison city and the third rank in honor.

Breaking the city and formation, hitting more with less, is called entering the battle. Killing 40% of the enemy is considered the top gain, and going to the battle with the top gain is the fifth turn.

In most wars, it is difficult to get the honor transfer, or only one transfer.

Luo Xuanye relied on strong force since he raised his troops in Jinyang, and was Li Tang's pioneer officer.

After that, he followed Li Shimin in the east and west expeditions, beheaded generals and captured flags, climbed to the city first, struck more with less, and gained a lot. He is currently the only one in the Tang Dynasty army who relied on military merit to achieve the 12th rank and was awarded the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. A military general, he had a high prestige among the Tang army.

Luo Xuanye returned to the camp, took off his armor, and reported to Li Shimin: "King Qin, it's a pity that Yuchi Gong escaped.

If he is captured and subdued, King Qin will be able to add another powerful general to his command. "

"Oh?"

I want Song Jingang’s head to stay on this land east of Hedong! "

But the strategy cannot be changed. If we continue to persevere, we should be close to victory. "

There was insufficient food and grass and they could not stay at the front line. Song Jingang was preparing to retreat north to a place where food and grass could be supplied.

After Luo Xuanye returned the greeting, the group of people went to the camp. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin saw that after these days of persistence, the Tang army was still in good order and not panicked. They knew that those rumors were all false. The King of Qin is now Victory is guaranteed.

The war was indeed bloody, and Li Shimin was in danger several times, but the war was not as everyone imagined.

Luo Xuanye's new victory, and the appearance of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin's new troops, created an optimistic atmosphere among the Tang army.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, who were under Wang Shichong's command, defected from Zheng and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is this Yuchi Gong so great?
Can you enter the Eye of Qingyang? "

The purpose of the raid was to suppress the activity scope of Song Jingang's army, suppress their arrogance, weaken their strength, and let them know that we, the Tang Dynasty, are not some soft persimmon that we can easily knead.

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard this and said: "Impossible.

Just waiting and waiting, Song Jingang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Can I completely defeat you like I defeated Xue Ju?
In the following time, Li Shimin sent a small group of troops to attack the surrounding counties, threatening Song Jinjiang's army who was out to plunder grain and grass. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Xuanling frequently attacked under Li Shimin's care, causing Song Jinjiang to suffer terribly. Word.

While the two were talking, Changsun Wuji hurriedly walked in and said with a happy face: "King Qin, good news.

If Li Mi hadn't killed Zhai Rang and Wang Shichong was mean and ungrateful, he would not have defected to the Tang Dynasty.

He cursed quite angrily at the Tang army who was defending the isolated city and camp, "Li Shimin is such a hateful turtle with a shrunken head!"

These two people are famous all over the world, especially Qin Qiong, who is known as the invincible fighter in Shandong. He is the best hero in Shandong and is the guest of all monarchs.

Luo Xuanye nodded and said: "I fought with him dozens of times on the banks of the Fen River, and I haven't stabbed him under the horse yet. He is indeed a true enemy of ten thousand people, not weaker than the tiger generals in Guanzhang of Ji Han!

Almost everyone respected and feared him. Li Shimin even said to everyone: "Luo Jichen is majestic and heavy, like an ancient judge. With him here, I no longer worry about military supplies."

If the war just ended like this, it would still be a great defeat for the Tang Dynasty, because Hedong still lost most of it, and Jinyang, the land of Longxing where Li Tang started, was still in the hands of Liu Wuzhou.

As soon as Song Jingang's army moved, Li Shimin had already sent Luo Xuanye roaring in, first to test whether Song Jingang's army was really short of food and had to retreat. Even if there was only a small chance that it was just pretending, Li Shimin would not be here. Risk taking.

The food and grass supplied to each military camp are delivered on time and in quantity. If there is any lateness or delay, he will deal with it in accordance with military law, and no one will be given face.

When the King of Qin led his army out of Hedong, everyone thought that it would be a difficult and hard battle, with city after city attacking and defending, and every bloody battle going on.

Li Shimin quickly helped the two men up and said cheerfully: "My king has obtained two tiger generals, which are like tigers with wings. How can we not win the battle in Hedong?"
Two generals, this is me, Duke Zhou of the Tang Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou’s march, General Zuo Xiaowei, and Luo Xuanye. "

He stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers of the Tang army who had been waiting for too long and suppressed for too long. He drew his sword and shouted loudly: "The time has come. Song Jingang is defeated. Soldiers, the time has come to make contributions. Charge. Crush Song Jingang!

If I meet him again and ask Aling to accompany me into battle and capture him within twenty moves, I, the Luo family, will have many brothers, all of whom are talented! "

Your Majesty sent the two men to the east of the river and put them under your command. Now they have arrived outside the military camp. "

Li Shimin never expected that there would be such surprising news waiting for him.

When Luo Xuanye confirmed that all Song Jingang's troops had withdrawn, Li Shimin knew that the opportunity had come.

As time passed day by day, not only the Song Jingang Army, but also the Tang Army became a little unbearable in such a long confrontation. Luo Xuanchen was thinking about how long he could last with the food and grass in his hands, changing his ways. The consumption of grain and grass is less.

Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye looked at each other and immediately walked out of the military camp. They saw two people standing outside the military camp, with majestic weapons and fierce momentum. There was heroic spirit between their eyebrows, flying in all directions. At first glance, they were heroes!
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin stood in front of the military camp, observing all the time. Then they saw Li Shimin running out in a hurry. They must have discussed it long ago. They knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and said loudly: "Weak ministers Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, See the King of Qin and say hello to the King of Qin!"

Song Jingang, when will you reveal your flaws?

Almost everyone was shocked by Li Shimin's brilliant and incredible record.

……

When the battle report was sent back to Chang'an in Guanzhong, the whole of Chang'an seemed to have pressed pause.

"what!"

"King Qin, why don't our army take advantage of the situation and attack? We will definitely kill Song Jingang and cause a huge defeat."

……

This was the first time Li Shimin heard the word "strong general" from Luo Xuanye. You must know that Luo Xuanye's evaluation of Li Yuanji, who was born with supernatural power, was that he was a showman.

But of course Li Shimin didn't wait for so long just to watch Song Jingang leave!

Li Shimin said and looked into the distance, which was the direction of Song Jingang's army.

When Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin heard that Luo Xuanye's current reputation was not only in the Tang Dynasty, they immediately clasped their fists and bowed: "I have met the Duke!"

Li Shimin could only use the great life he was gifted with. He stationed tenaciously on the east bank of the Yellow River. Song Jingang did not dare to enter the pass, and he could not attack the city. He failed to win the hearts of the people east of the river and ended up at a disadvantage in terms of food and grass.

In the end, Li Shimin was as fast as a rabbit on the run, not eating, drinking, sleeping, and chasing him for hundreds of miles.

The fierce endurance and extreme outburst broke the hearts of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in pursuit, exploded their chasing mentality, and made them abandon themselves in pursuit!
A hearty victory!

Recover the entire Hedong in one battle!
Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were conferred the first honors!

The newly born Tang Dynasty survived a crisis that might have overturned the entire country. Who can not say that this is Li Shimin's credit?
I can't believe it, but I can't believe it. Rewards based on merit are indispensable. Li Yuan is not very clear about rewards and punishments, but maybe because of his noble birth, he is not stingy with rewards.

Except Li Jing.

When Li Shimin returned to Guanzhong with tens of thousands of troops, he received an unprecedented welcome.

Almost the entire people and scholars of Tang Dynasty were cheering for him.

The undefeated God of War of the Tang Dynasty.

A wise and martial prince, King Qin Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had just walked outside the pavilion thirty miles away from Chang'an. The angels from the palace were already waiting here, and at the same time they brought a reward for Li Shimin. If they went further, most of the troops could no longer accompany them. Give Li Shimin glory in front of others.

"Zier Taiwei, Shangshu Ling, Shaanxi Daoxingtai Shangshu Ling, Yizhou Daoxingtai Shangshu Ling, Shangzhu State, Qin Wang Li Shimin, killed two thieves in Hedong, and settled the country in Jinyang. They have made great contributions and will not be rewarded for their merits. The country has no peace.

Edict: Li Shimin is appointed as Situ, Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, Yongzhou Mu, Liangzhou General Manager, Taiyuan General Manager, and Left and Right Military Guard General, with all the former envoys and 5,000 households in the city. You are so noble. "

Li Shimin dismounted and knelt down on one knee to thank him, and excitedly accepted the decree. The moment he received these rewards, it seemed that everything before was worth it.

He stood up and raised the imperial edict in his hand high. He did not speak, but the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came from the army.

"King Qin!"

"King Qin!"

"King Qin!"

The roars seemed to lift up the sky, and the stamping sounds seemed to open cracks in the earth!

These soldiers used all their enthusiasm to cheer for the commander who led them to victory.

This is not only a moment of glory for Li Shimin, but also a moment of glory for all Tang troops.

Li Shimin is the spiritual pillar of the Tang Army. When he is respected, the Tang Army will be respected, and only the generals who follow him will be respected, that's all!

The roaring sound shocked the angel in the palace. This was a scene he had never seen before. Even when facing the emperor, the imperial guards in the palace had never shown such enthusiasm.

After the angels entered the army, the army continued to advance. Luo Xuanye and others congratulated Li Shimin one after another. Li Shimin just smiled and waved his hands and said: "This king has gained some false fame, mainly due to your merits, Qingyang, your merits... .”

Luo Xuanye is currently at the top of his title, and the county king is not enough, so he only has the additional food left.

The honorary rank has been transferred twelve times, and there is nothing more to add to the Shangzhu Kingdom.

I don't know what reward Li Yuan will give Luo Xuanye, but it is difficult to increase the actual power. The third-grade general has reached the top, and only the honorary official position is left.

Luo Xuanye said solemnly: "I know.

If the father is willing to give a reward, then it is a reward, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

Now I just want to go back to my hometown as soon as possible. I was not around when Xiuning gave birth. "

Li Shimin also said with emotion: "Yes, the princess also gave birth to a baby, which I didn't expect."

Walking outside Chang'an City, more people gathered here. People were everywhere on both sides of the straight road, like endless mountains and seas.

"The King of Qin is here!"

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone stretched their necks, wanting to take a look at the young supreme military commander of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin walked into Chang'an City in this jubilant atmosphere, crossed Zhuque Street, and entered the celebration banquet that had been prepared.

……

There were glasses of wine, laughter, and Li Yuan drank with all his ministers from the bottom of his heart. How could he not be happy?

I was already preparing to be the King of Guanzhong, but within a year, all the mountains and rivers were restored. How could I not be happy?
He held the wine glass and said loudly to the officials in the palace: "The contribution of King Qin is naturally very great.

I have already rewarded it before.

I have not yet rewarded you all for your contributions.

This is not the attitude towards heroes. I will never be stingy with rewards. I will give them to all the officials who love you. I will read it to them and celebrate together. "

Most of these rewards are given to military generals.

It has to be said that military generals work hard on the battlefield, especially the fierce generals who rush into battle, risking their lives, but they also gain a lot. Once they perform meritorious service, they will immediately become serfs.

Li Yuan rewards those who have no prejudice against him.

Qin Qiong, a white man who had just surrendered, was too brave. During the Hedong expedition against Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, he was promoted to Zhuguo, granted the title of third-grade founding county lord, and still worked in the palace of the Prince of Qin.

As Li Shimin said, everyone who follows him must be noble.

Among the Luo clan, the first one to receive the reward was naturally Luo Xuanye. He was also the only one under Li Shimin who did not need Li Shimin to record his merits.

"Xuan Ye."

Luo Xuanye stepped out of the queue, cupped his fists and bowed: "Father, I am safe, I am here."

The more Li Yuan looked at Luo Xuanye, the more satisfied he became, and laughter echoed in the palace, "Among my daughters, Pingyang is the best and most like me, so I risked the disapproval of the world and let her serve as the Secretary of the Central Committee as my daughter. I Among the sons-in-law, Xuan Ye is the most capable and promising. He has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. This time, he has made great contributions to pacifying Liu Wu, Zhou, Song and King Kong.

You have been given the title of Duke of Zhou.

The honorary title has also been transferred to Zhuguo for twelve times.

There are also officials from the second rank of Shaanxi Daxingtai Youpu She and the third rank Zuo Xiaowei General.

Wu Sanguan is already a second-grade general of the auxiliary country.

I will grant you the rank of first-grade civil official and the third division of Yitong, so that you will be even more glorious.

I will give you another 1,500 households, bringing the total number of households to 5,500.

Not long after my grandson was born, I made him the founding son of the county with a settlement of 500 households.

I will also give you a thousand pieces of gold, cloth and silk, as well as the treasures of the palace. "

Generous!
This was the first reaction of everyone who heard this reward.

There was no change in real power, which was reasonable, but Li Yuan added two thousand households to Luo Xuanye and his son.

Doesn't sound like much.

But just a little math shows how outrageous it is.

Today, there are about 6 million households in the world, and Li Tang’s household registration is about 1.5 million.

Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning's specifications are based on those of a prince, with a real estate of 10,000 households. Together with Luo Xuanye and their sons, the city has 16,000 households!

This is one percent of the household registrations in the entire Tang Dynasty!
In this era where land tax occupies a large share, it is self-evident what this means.

Li Yuan is really willing to give to his relatives, especially his only legitimate daughter and son-in-law.

Those official positions of the first rank and the first rank, as well as titles, honors, and casual officials, were originally formulated to show glory and prevent ministers from having no titles or rewards. Now they can be regarded as playing their role.

"I thank you, father!"

After Luo Xuanye bowed again, he retreated to the banquet under the envious eyes of all the officials in the palace.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

Most people have never thought about comparing themselves with Luo Xuanye. In the current Tang Dynasty, there are few people who can compare favorably with Luo Xuanye.

He is a relative of the Li family, and he belongs to Li Yuan in his heart. This alone is no longer comparable to that of others.

Looking at Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye who were covered in glory, one person in the palace felt really uncomfortable, and that was Li Yuanji.

The root cause of this celebration banquet is that he lost Hedong. As a result, Li Shimin has regained it. The more glorious Li Shimin is, the more useless he seems. He can only drink wine, and anyone can see the displeasure on his face.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng, who was a little depressed, scolded him after seeing it, "King Chu, today is a happy day, don't make such an expression."

Li Yuanji felt a little unhappy in his heart, and the fine traditions passed down by the Li family's blood began to burn brightly.

He rolled his eyes and whispered: "Prince, I am not unhappy because I have lost face, I am unhappy because my status in my father's heart has become lower again.

Ugh.

In the future, if my father asks King Qin to do everything, what should I do if I have a restless temper? "

She is truly worthy of the Li family with the talent of blood. On the surface, Li Yuanji was saying that he was not reused, but in his words, he was secretly poking at Li Jiancheng.

Why are you, the prince, happy? Now the Tang Dynasty only knows that there is King Qin, but not the prince.

Have you forgotten that your father once said that he wanted King Qin to be the crown prince? If this continues, I don’t know whether I, Li Yuanji, will be reused, but I’m afraid you, Li Jiancheng, will not be able to keep your position as crown prince.

The speaker was intentional, and the listener was also intentional. Li Jiancheng's expression immediately changed, and then changed back again, and he looked deeply at Li Yuanji.

He did not suspect that Li Yuanji deliberately provoked trouble, because Li Yuanji had always done this.

The people in the palace are busy at all times, and those who can be rewarded here are all middle- and high-level nobles, or they are from high-ranking families. It is difficult for those with humble backgrounds to step into Li Yuan's palace.

For example, Li Jing.

At the end of the ceremony, Li Yuan named a person, Luo Xuanling. Although Li Shimin took him to the palace night banquet, given his rank, Li Yuan should not be the one to bestow the title. As long as he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War enough.

Luo Xuanling walked in the hall with some confusion, saluted Li Yuan, and then waited quietly for Li Yuan to speak.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I heard that it was you who saved King Qin. The battle report also includes your numerous military exploits. In the end, Song Jingang was defeated. You made great achievements. I want to see what the young hero King Qin said looked like.

Now it seems that he is indeed the son of the Luo family. His appearance alone makes him worthy of his reputation.

I heard that Princess Qin wants to betroth her sister to you? "

Luo Xuanling cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

Li Yuan smiled brightly and said: "A man cannot live without a crown. I am very happy that you have saved the King of Qin. I will make you the founding uncle of the country, with a settlement of 700 households, a loyal military general, a left prisoner, a guard, and a lieutenant general. As for your As for the honorary title, I remember that the one reported by the Ministry of War is Captain of Qingchao, and the honorary title is the twelfth rank. This is the foundation of the country, and I cannot change it casually. Just like that, you are still serving concurrently in the Qin Palace, are you satisfied?"

Luo Xuanling immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "I thank you, Your Majesty."

There is nothing dissatisfying about this. The title of founding earl of the Republic of China on the fourth rank and the rank of Military Sanguan Zhongwu General on the fourth rank are equivalent to the title of Qingche Commandery on the fourth rank.

Finally, Zhonglang, the guard of the left prison, who is under the fourth rank, will serve as an official. In the future, he can be promoted among the sixteen guards on the left and right, with a bright future.

To a certain extent, he is now only three levels away from Luo Xuanye's position, which is the fourth level, the third level, and the third level!

For ordinary people, these three steps are difficult, but he is the younger brother of Luo Xuanye and the brother-in-law of King Qin. Now he is in the heart of the emperor. As long as he gets the credit later, those shackles that are difficult to overcome in the officialdom will not matter to him. It's like flat ground.

The canonization of just a mid-level official made people see a rising star.

I always feel that Lowe's is very different.

After disappearing for hundreds of years, the Luo family seems to be gradually showing the world the huge family it once was when it returned.

In a perfectly integrated manner.

Anyone who reads history has a feeling that Luo Shi always wanders away from the world and comes back by chance.

After Luo Shi disappeared, it only took a short time for the world to adapt to politics without Luo Shi, because Luo Shi's participation in politics was already very low.

Every time Luo Shi participated in the politics of the Han Dynasty, it would have unimaginable consequences. This was a natural reaction when the political system encountered strong external forces, because Luo Shi had no place in the political system.

The prime minister was the only patch left, but this patch had disappeared in the Later Han Dynasty.

So the appearance of Luo Shi was like an enemy from outside, leaving everyone in the world at a loss.

But now, many people are no longer surprised by Luo's appearance in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no longer a strong sense of separation.

……

There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever.

So does the palace.

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty dragged their slightly tired figures out of the palace, and the three Luo brothers walked together.

Needless to say, Luo Xuanye, now, the elder brother of the three, Luo Xuanchen, is a little behind among the brothers. Not only is he not as good as Luo Xuanye, but even compared to the rising Luo Xuanling, he is slightly behind. A bit weaker.

But he didn't care.

This was destined since he chose to be a civil servant. It is not easy to be promoted as a civil servant, especially since he was still a royal official and had never entered the court system.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and many talented people and bachelors in Li Shimin's mansion are just low-level officials, many of whom are not as good as Luo Xuanchen.

However, this time he has gained a reputation as the de facto grain and grass logistics manager. Now Li Shimin's subordinates all know that there is a great talent in Prince Qi's palace.

Moreover, Luo Xuanchen does not seem to be as rich and prosperous as Luo Xuanling.

But he jumped from being a guest of Prince Qi's Palace to becoming a long-term official of Prince Qi's Palace. This is also a great progress.

According to Li Xuanba's trust in him, he can now basically mobilize the resources of Prince Qi's Palace. In the Tang Dynasty, the power of a Prince's Palace, especially the three palaces of Qin, Qi and Chu, is quite terrifying and powerful.

Luo Xuanye walked slowly on the street with his hands behind his back, looking at the tree shadows under the moonlight, he couldn't help but smile on his face, "We have now exceeded the tasks assigned to us by our ancestors.

When our father becomes the emperor and all three of us are crowned princes, our ancestors will definitely be pleased with our efforts. "

Most of the streets in Chang'an City are rammed earth streets without stone paving. Sometimes it rains, making it difficult for ministers to go to court.

Luo Xuanchen raised his foot and kicked away a piece of soil, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said: "Let's wait until Li Tang can unify the world. If Li Tang can't unify the world, our efforts now will be in vain. In the end, our ancestors will come to help us." We deal with the aftermath, and a generation is wasted."

What Luo Xuanchen said was very realistic, and Luo Xuanling also answered: "Not only does the Tang Dynasty want to unify the world, but the second emperor in the future must be King Qin.

The Prince Jiancheng doesn't seem to be a tolerant monarch. At least, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate someone like me who is a hardcore King of Qin. "

Although he is young, he understands these things very well. No matter what he thinks, in the eyes of others, he is Li Shimin's man, especially since he is about to marry King Qin's wife and sister.

In this case, he naturally wants to help Li Shimin become a dragon.

Otherwise, wouldn't his past efforts be in vain?
The family's plan will also suffer great losses and waste, which Luo Xuanling cannot tolerate.

Luo Xuanye smiled softly. Luo Xuanchen and Luo Xuanling were the foreign aids he brought to Li Shimin. How could he not know?
"Fourth brother, Xiaoliu, do you think King Qin will lose?"

Before the two of them could speak, he said again: "No!
He himself will not lose.

We will not lose, and the result will only run towards the angle we expected. "

Luo Xuanye stood in front of Princess Pingyang's mansion. The light shone on his face, and there was a lively atmosphere.

This is the Luo Xuanye that Luo Xuanchen and Luo Xuanling have never seen before. He has a kind of domineering attitude and absolute confidence in the future.

Whatever Luo wants to do, as long as God doesn't interfere, he will never fail.

What is Lowe's?

He, Luo Xuanye, represents a corner of the Luo family.

So he won't fail!

Luo Xuanchen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at Luo Xuanye with a smile, "Aye, you are really different. Maybe you can wear a crown on your head now.

You will become one of the most powerful descendants of your ancestors in the world! "

Luo Xuanye was a little surprised when he heard this, then pointed at himself and said: "A crown?
me?

I have no idea. "

Saying this, Luo Xuanye waved his hand and walked into the mansion.

See you tomorrow.

See you at the top!

----

During the Tang Dynasty, the Luo family underwent major changes. During the Han Dynasty, the Luo family was outside the dynasty order. In the eyes of many people within the dynasty, the Luo family did not regard the Luo family as one of their own. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the Luo family was Starting from King Luo Xuanye of Zhou County, the Luo family gradually integrated into the blood of the entire dynasty. This is the fundamental reason why the Tang Dynasty lasted longer than the Han Dynasty. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Tang Empire"
