The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 730 It's just a tacit understanding (two more)
Seeing Xu Maogong and Yu Chigong walking towards him, Li Zhi hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "Thank you for your hard work, this battle will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."

Seeing Li Zhi's happy face, Xu Maogong said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Khitan King City has been burned to rubble. As long as His Highness speaks out, it is said that the Khitan King is stubbornly resisting, regardless of the life and death of the people in the city." , and finally came to this conclusion.”

Of course Li Zhi understood why Xu Maogong was so anxious, in order to get rid of his notoriety of massacring the city.After all, this has a great impact on my future.

"His Royal Highness, no matter what, we have won this battle. After returning to Chang'an City, the emperor will definitely be delighted. Rewards will naturally be indispensable." Yu Chigong said happily to Li Zhi.

"All this is thanks to the secret help of Brother Huang. Without Brother Huang, there would be no great victory today." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"That kid does things with money, although he provided the fireworks. But didn't His Royal Highness give him an IOU as well?" Yu Chigong said to Li Zhi.

After Li Zhi smiled helplessly, he didn't say anything, but turned around and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.This can't help but make Yu Chigong feel strange, wondering why Li Zhi has such an expression.

But Xu Maogong on the side already understood, and was extremely surprised in his heart.Because he never expected that Li Zhi had already discovered that Li Tai was in the army.

With this analytical ability alone, not everyone can do it.In the future, when Li Zhi ascends the throne as the emperor, relying on this analytical ability can also avoid being deceived by treacherous villains.

Seeing Yu Chigong's puzzled expression, Xu Maogong shook his head helplessly.Then he said: "I'll tell you why later, let's report the military situation to His Royal Highness first."

After speaking, Xu Maogong followed Li Zhi into the tent of the Chinese Army. Although Yu Chigong was full of doubts, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to ask the truth.

"Now that the Khitan King City has been taken down by us, what should we do next?" Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong and Yu Chigong while sitting on the commander-in-chief seat.

"His Royal Highness, this expedition has now ended in victory. So our next step is naturally to return to the court. But it is best to say hello to the emperor first and send people to station in the territory of Khitan and Xi. To avoid being caught by other foreign countries Foreign races took advantage of the situation." Xu Maogong Li Zhi said.

"Then I will write a good report with my own handwriting, and order people to send it back to Chang'an City as soon as possible. Let the emperor make arrangements as soon as possible." Li Zhi nodded and said.

……

The fire burned for several days and nights before it was slowly extinguished.After the fire was extinguished, Yu Chigong led people into the Khitan King City.A detailed search was carried out on the Khitan King City.

Not to mention, someone really escaped this catastrophe by hiding in the cellar.But in the end, he died during the search, and there was really not a single person left alive in the entire Khitan King City.

Xu Maogong was not idle either, he led Li Zhi's guards and entered the Khitan King City.As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire.No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to turn gold and silver into nothing.

Therefore, Xu Maogong's task is to find out the gold and silver in the city, after all, it cannot be wasted here.At the same time, in order to avoid conflicts between soldiers because of fighting for gold and silver.Xu Maogong also specially issued a military order that anyone who dares to hide things in the city will be sentenced to death.

In this way, the battlefield was cleaned for nearly ten days before finally sorting out the entire Khitan King City.It is countless to get gold and silver.

Li Zhi saw the gold and silver in front of him, smiled and said to Xu Maogong: "These should be enough to pay back the money for the fireworks of the emperor. I will hand them over to the two generals, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing, and bring them back to Youzhou City. Royal brother."

Xu Maogong did not expect that Li Zhi would make such a decision.This is not something everyone can do, after all, there are quite a lot of gold and silver.

"His Royal Highness, although His Royal Highness King Yan's fireworks are expensive, I'm afraid they won't be able to use so much." Xu Mao said openly to Li Zhi.

"There are some things that cannot be measured by money, such as the relationship between brothers, no amount of money can buy it." Li Zhi shook his head and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much better than that kid Li Tai. That kid is a miser who regards money as his life. Just relying on this point alone, he can't achieve anything great." Yu Chigong said after curling his lips.

No matter what Yu Chigong said was true or not, Li Zhi still sounded very useful.So he said with a smile: "It's not that I don't love money, it's just that as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. Brother Huang, why not."

In the end, two brothers, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing, led the Galewind White Tiger Army and the Kuangbo Xuanwu Army to escort the huge amount of gold and silver to Youzhou.And Li Tai had already left a few days ago.

After sending off his two sons, Yu Chigong found Xu Maogong.And he asked Xu Maogong: "Now that the dust has settled, it's time to talk to me."

"His Royal Highness is really extraordinary. He has long known that His Royal Highness King Yan is in the army. The purpose of sending this large sum of gold and silver is also to thank His Highness Yan King for supporting him in secret." Xu Maogong smiled at Yuchi Gong Said.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have such insight at such a young age. It seems that His Royal Highness is not comparable to that of Li Chengqian." Yu Chigong also said in surprise.

"In the future, the world of the Tang Dynasty will become more prosperous if it is handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness King Yan can assist His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, the territory of the Great Tang will become extremely broad in the future." Xu Maogong nodded said later.

"Maybe one day, my Great Tang will really become an empire on which the sun never sets. The whole world will be planted with my Great Tang's dragon flag." Yu Chigong nodded and said.

"It's a pity that we are all old, and I'm afraid we won't see the great Tang Dynasty." Xu Maogong said with a sigh.

"I really hope that we are at the same age as Baolin and the others, so that we can truly expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Yu Chigong said with a similar sigh.

"We can only let our descendants witness the glorious moment of the Tang Dynasty for us." Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

……

"Great victory, great victory, great victory, Your Majesty's great victory." Holding Li Zhi's victory report in his hand, the Huangmen official shouted and rushed into the Golden Luan Hall.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting on the throne of the golden palace, discussing state affairs with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Hearing the Huangmen officer yelling for victory, he immediately asked, "Did His Royal Highness make a triumphant return?"

"Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness sent back the good news in eight hundred miles." After Huangmen finished speaking, he handed the good news in his hand to Wang De, Li Shimin's close eunuch.

After Wang De received the good news, he handed it directly to Li Shimin. Li Shimin opened it and couldn't help laughing.Then he opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness has successfully pacified the Xi Kingdom and Khitan."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated Li Shimin one after another.But Kong Yingda went straight out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, the King Khitan and King Xi have turned their backs on their promises. This time, the Emperor must let him come to Chang'an City to plead guilty."

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come. The crown prince used the fire attack to burn the Khitan king's city. Now the Khitan king has died in the fire. All the chiefs of the five major tribes of the Xi country have also died in battle." Li Shimin said to Kong Yingda with a big smile.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has achieved such a great victory. But I don't know how our army wasted." Wei Zheng asked Li Shimin.

After all, the strength of Khitan and Xi should not be underestimated, and Prince Li Zhi only led 20 horses.Now that such a result has been achieved, I am afraid that everyone can't believe it.

So even Wei Zheng felt that Li Tai must have sent troops to help.And the loss will definitely not be a minority.After all, since ancient times, if the enemy loses [-], it is considered a big victory if the enemy loses [-].

"I'm afraid you would never have imagined that this time, His Highness the Crown Prince, it was really bloodless." Li Shimin said with a big laugh.

Then Li Shimin asked his personal eunuch Wang De to read Li Zhijie's report to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.When everyone knew what had happened, they couldn't help being stunned.

They didn't expect that Li Zhi could do such a strategic planning.It was even more unbelievable that Yu Chigong had such a brain and could come up with such a clever plan.

"When did this big guy's black head become so easy to use? He actually came up with such a clever plan." Cheng Yaojin said.

"It's called looking at things with admiration after three days. As long as we work hard, anything can happen." Li Shimin said with a big smile.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically mentioned in the good news that the Emperor will send someone to take over the territories of Khitan and Xi. I don't know who the Emperor intends to let take care of these two places." Wei Zheng asked Li Shimin.

"Now these two places are probably deserted, so we only need to send an army to garrison them. As for the people, they can only move from the interior slowly." Li Shimin said.

Then Li Shimin asked everyone to nominate to see who is more suitable to lead troops to guard the two places.Finally, under the nomination and suggestion of everyone, Li Shimin sent veteran Gao Shilian to lead the troops.

After arranging everything, Li Shimin laughed and returned to the harem.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also withdrew from the Golden Luan Hall in an orderly manner.

After leaving the Golden Luan Hall, Cheng Yaojin came to Wei Zheng's side.He asked Wei Zheng in a low voice: "Brother, why do I always feel that this battle is too easy?"

"Besides, that boss Hei probably doesn't have that ability. What makes me even more puzzled is, how did such a huge Khitan royal city burn down?"

"That's the matter of the two brothers, what does it have to do with you. Don't forget that the words come from your mouth." Wei Zheng said to Cheng Yaojin.

Although Li Zhi's victory report only mentioned the two brothers Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing who escorted the fireworks and stayed in the army.

But I'm afraid no one will really believe that Li Tai only did these things.But Li Tai did it secretly, and that was to complete Li Zhi's military exploits.

Civil servants and military generals in the court, how can they not understand this truth.How could he speak out to break the matter up.After all, that's an unpleasant thing to do, and absolutely no one wants to do it.
