Chapter 363 The Triumph Return
Tuli Khan also felt a little embarrassed when he heard Li Chengdao's words, and couldn't help but become popular.

This time I was really embarrassed!
But compared to being able to survive, what is losing face?
There is an old saying in Central Plains, it is better to live than to die, it is better to live!

Adhering to this principle, Tuli Khan said shamelessly.

"Your Majesty must have misremembered, when did the minister say such a thing!"

"I have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and I have long wanted to lead the Turks to join the Tang Dynasty. It is my honor to join the Tang Dynasty, a lifelong honor!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed on the spot.

Sure enough, nothing in the world can escape the law of true fragrance, even in ancient times.

That's not all, Tuli Khan continued.

"Your Majesty, where is the treaty from yesterday? Quickly take it out and sign it for the minister. The minister can still represent the Turks now. The ministers you mentioned have recognized all the ministers, and the minister has no objection!"

……

Since Tu Li was so eager, Li Chengdao certainly wanted to satisfy him. He ordered his people to take out yesterday's treaty and added several more clauses, such as:

"In the future, the Turks must regularly pay a certain amount of cattle and sheep to the imperial court."

"A long-term supply of dairy products to the palace."

"The imperial court will send a large army to station here, and will also send Han officials to take over the government affairs. Everything is up to the Tang Dynasty."

……

Even though it was a series of unequal treaties, Tuli signed them without hesitation, and handed over the wolf claws that symbolized the king of the grassland and the soldier talismans that commanded the Turkic tribes.

The moment he handed it over, he suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed, and he no longer had to worry about his own life.

Perhaps surrender is also the best option.

Anyway, it’s, well, it smells so good!
This also means that the Turkic Khanate will be removed from the world from this moment, and will be replaced by the Turkic Dao of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the rule of Li Chengdao, the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded so much for the first time, and opened up a channel for expansion to the west.

Then Li Chengdao handed over the Turkic follow-up matters to Li Shimin, such as the suppression of the remaining tribes who refused to surrender, the arrangement of Turkic soldiers, or the commendation of the Goshawk tribe.

He believed that with Li Shimin's ability, he could arrange all this well.

Li Chengdao took the tactical team, Tuli Khan, and some Turkic royal families back to Chang'an.

This time the tactical team really acted as Li Chengdao's bodyguards throughout the whole process, and did not go to the battlefield to fight against the enemy.

Because this is not necessary at all, the Turks can be crushed with earth bombs and 30 elites.

The situation this time is different from last time. Last time, the Turks attacked the doorstep of Datang, and their numbers were larger than Chang'an's troops, so a tactical team was needed to win by surprise.

But this time it was different. This time, Datang completely had the upper hand, and the Turkic soldiers had no fighting spirit at all, so they were directly crushed by Datang.

It is true that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven. Last time the Turks attacked the doorstep of Datang, this time Datang directly attacked the Turks' home.

The difference is that the Turks failed and were completely annihilated by the Tang Dynasty; but the Tang Dynasty succeeded this time, not only attacking the Turks' home, but also annihilating them.

Again, if you're crazy, I'll beat you until you're like a mother.

On the way back, Li Chengdao heard the voice of the system in his mind.

Hey~
"The host completes Task 25000 and Task [-] at the same time, and gets a superimposed task reward: [-] points!"

Li Chengdao was happy when he heard the voice.

Hehehe, the points have arrived.

The moment of harvest is always a moment of joy. Now there are about 3 points in total, and many new poses can be unlocked.

Nothing happened on the way back to Chang'an.

After arriving in Chang'an, the people in Chang'an city had received the news of the victory at the border in advance, and they all cheered and shouted encouragement.

"It's so relieved! Your Majesty actually captured the Turks directly. From now on, the lands of the Turks will belong to our Tang Dynasty!"

"Look at how crazy the Turks are, they were directly beaten to death by our Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"And we no longer have to worry about Turkic bandits!"

……

The ministers in the DPRK were naturally the first to receive the news. When they heard that His Majesty had returned early, they waited outside the city gate early in the morning.

Followed by the people in Chang'an City, they came spontaneously to welcome their most respected Majesty.

After seeing Li Chengdao's dragon chariot, the common people began to show excited expressions.

They originally worshiped Li Chengdao very much, and after this conquest of Turks, they worshiped him even more, and vowed to love Li Chengdao forever.

As for Li Shimin, who actually went into battle to kill the enemy, they did not pay attention to him and became a veritable tool man.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his triumphant return!"

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

……

Li Chengdao calmly waved in response on the dragon chariot,
Amid the cheers of the people, Li Chengdao returned to the palace with a group of officials.

above the hall.

Li Chengdao sat on the dragon chair, overlooking the officials below.

There are also a few new faces among them, that is, Dieluozhi, the son of Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan, who came to accept Li Chengdao's trial.

Everyone looked at the expressions of the two of them with sneering faces. Turkic and Datang had a long-standing grievance, and they could be said to hate Turkic to the bone.

So now that Tuli Khan is standing here as the king of subjugation, how could they give up such a good opportunity to ridicule.

Haha, weren't you still very impressive some time ago?Don’t you want to take over the Central Plains?Why are you so embarrassed now?
Bah, it deserves it!

If it weren't for this person being above the court, they might all have been rude.

Tuli Khan naturally felt the gazes of the crowd. Although he felt a little ashamed and a little angry, he didn't dare to express it.

Because now he is no longer a Turkic Khan, it is up to Li Chengdao to decide what he will be in the future.

At this time, Li Chengdao from above spoke.

"Dear dear friends, this time under my supervision, King You successfully captured the Turks, opened up territory for our Tang Dynasty, and raised the country's prestige. King You has made great contributions. As for the matter of rewards, we will discuss it after he returns. !"

All civil and military officials saluted Li Chengdao.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Tuli Khan saw that everyone else was saluting, he was in a daze and seemed a bit uncomfortable, so he also bowed quickly.

"Ying, wise."

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, the clown is by our side."

……

Tu Li blushed in embarrassment and had a thick neck, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and go down.

But no matter how embarrassing he was, he didn't dare to become angry. To be honest, Tuli's endurance was pretty good.

That's why he even laughed.

"Hehehehe..."

At this time Li Chengdao waved his hand.

"My dear friends, be quiet."

"Now the Turks belong to our Tang Dynasty, so I decided to adjust the existing administrative division. There are 11 roads in the country, namely Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road and Turkic Road.”

"The government governs the prefectures and states under the Dao, and the counties under it. These matters will be discussed and discussed by several ministers, and they will be reported to me after they are agreed!"

"Do you have any objections?"
