Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"But after being so busy, I forgot about it."

"As far as I know, there are only two thousand remnants of the remnants of Youzhou City that were scattered and reassembled before."

"When the two armies faced each other, Li Qiu beheaded the Turkic general Bazhuo, no one would doubt that."

"After all, we have all seen Li Qiu's martial arts and bravery."

"However, beheading 5000 members of Xue Yantuo's powerful army is a great feat."

"I can't figure it out, how did they do it?"

At this time, Li Shimin took out Li Qiu's memorabilia, which was written by the royal envoys and courtiers in the court, and handed it to them to read.

"Look at this and you'll understand."

"When Li Qiu canceled the free warehouses in the thirteen prefectures including Youzhou and Yizhou, he also privately transferred all the officers and soldiers from the other twelve prefectures to the city of Youzhou."

"The new Youzhou Army has been reorganized and has more than [-] people, and it has been trained."

"No, it only took a month for this new army to come in handy and make great achievements."

"At that time, on my dragon case, there were all memorials to impeach Li Qiu, which made me very upset."

"So these things, I didn't tell you two."

"Now that this child is guarding Youzhou for me, I can rest assured to focus all my attention on the northwest side!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling also nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't look at Li Qiu who is very tired and lazy on weekdays, but once he is on the battlefield, he is planning ahead and has great foresight. He was born for this battlefield."

"Leaving him in the city of Chang'an, thinking about doing business and making money all day long, is really a shame."

Du Ruhui said with the same dissatisfaction at this time: "Before, both I and Li Jing tried every means to get Li Qiu into the army."

"But His Majesty just disagrees."

"If you want me to tell you, just transfer Li Qiu back directly."

"A Youzhou can't play its full role yet."

Li Shimin waved his hands with a wry smile, "This kid, you acted too radically and impulsively."

"It's not very disciplined."

"If you put him in the Ministry of War or Li Jing, there might be some trouble."

"Now the territory of Youzhou is his own fiefdom, and it has the roots of the Luo family, so let him make trouble."

"The location is remote, the folk customs are simple, and there are no noble families, so it suits him quite well."

Chapter 252 Canonize Li Qiu, King of Peking

Just then, another obituary came in.

On the night of the great victory in Youzhou, Luo Sen, king of Beiping County, passed away.

After seeing this obituary, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of the figure who knelt down in front of his imperial study for Li Qiu a few months ago.

Can't help but look sad, let out a long sigh, and shook his head.

"Pass down my will, and honorably bury Luo Sen, King of Beiping County."

"Give him a posthumous title, Duan."

"Also, give Li Qiu the title of successor to Luo Sen and make him King of Beiping!"

It is also a great honor for the posthumous title to be bestowed by the emperor Li Shimin himself.

This posthumous name is divided into three categories, the upper posthumous title, the middle posthumous posthumous title, and the lower posthumous posthumous title.

This character is a character in the posthumous posthumous title, which is very good.

And Li Qiu's title of King of Beiping is already lower than that of a prince, and higher than that of an ordinary county king.

It also shows Li Shimin's great love for Li Qiu.

On the other side, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others also received news one after another.

On the one hand, he was happy for Li Qiu's victory, and on the other hand, he was also sad because of the passing of the old prince Luo Sen.

In Jingzhou in the northwest, Li Jing, the general manager of the Northwest Marching Road, also received the good news from Youzhou.

When Li Qiu led an assault and defeated the Turks after seeing the city of Youzhou fall, the old commander Li Jing stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's not bad to be able to learn and use it, not bad!"

"Come on, go get a pot of my commander's Sirius."

"This good news, you should drink a pot!"

At this time, it happened that Li Jing's deputy commander, General Duan Zhixuan of Zuo Xiaowei walked into the tent.

Then he smiled in surprise and said, "I don't know what happened to make the commander-in-chief so happy?"

Li Jing smiled and handed him the good news.

"Look, my half-disciple just won a big victory."

"It really brought great news to us!"

After reading the good news, Duan Zhixuan was also overjoyed.

"Marshal, if Youzhou is defended, the northeast of our Tang Dynasty will be safe."

"We can then concentrate our efforts and use our troops in the northwest!"

Li Jing nodded, "Exactly, General Duan, from now on, you will lead a large army to conquer Tuyuhun."

"Be sure to defeat Tuyuhun before there is any movement on the Turkic side."

"Remember, our purpose this time is to frustrate them and drive them back to the hinterland of Qinghai."

"Never fall in love with fighting."

"Compared to the Turks' Turks, this little Tuyuhun is nothing!"

……

On the other side, in the large Turkic tent on the grassland, Tuli, Zhishisili and others watched Xue Yantuo's troops attack Youzhou and returned in defeat, and they were all furious.

"This Yishi barbarian has no military discipline and is extremely arrogant!"

"The morale we have worked so hard to build up with great difficulty will be weakened by this Yi Shiyi man again!"

"It's really hateful!"

"Also, take a look, what kind of mess is written on it?"

"Oh, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and the night is like day!"

"It's all bullshit!"

At this moment, the leader of a small tribe below hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Khan..."

"Because our tribe is not far from Xue Yantuo."

"That night, there were indeed a few rays of colored light appearing in Youzhou, and the night sky was bright."

"And that night, we did feel a little ground shaking."

"It's true."

"But it's not as exaggerated as the military newspaper said."

After hearing his words, Tuli Khan frowned slightly and did not speak.

But he lost his mind, sighed lightly at this moment, and said respectfully: "Khan."

"The battle in Youzhou is over, so we don't need to mention it."

"As for Xue Yantuo's troops, although they lost more than ten thousand troops, they still have at least forty to fifty thousand troops."

"I believe that right now, it is better to unite all the tribes and fight against the Tang Dynasty together."

Tu Li nodded at this moment, "You're right."

"Turn back and send someone to send a letter to Nayi Shiyi in my name."

"Warn him, this is the last time."

"If this kind of thing happens again next time, I will never forgive him lightly!"

"In addition, this Youzhou City first damaged my uncle, Old Glenn, and now something like this happened again."

"Let's discuss, should we change our course and wash Youzhou with blood first, so as to avenge Glenn and his clansmen?"

After hearing his words, the people below objected one after another, especially the chief general lost his mind.

"Khan, that Li Qiu, I once fought against him once."

"It is indeed infinitely powerful, and the murderous aura is condensed to take people's hearts and souls. Even the minister is not his opponent."

"Back then he beheaded five generals of our army on the banks of the Weishui River, and seriously injured Jieli Khan. This matter is absolutely true."

"Besides, the bloodbath in Youzhou is meaningless to our overall situation."

"After we conquer Chang'an in the future, we may have the opportunity to bloodbath Youzhou again."

"At the same time, I also suggested that in the future, the generals of our army should meet young generals of the Tang army riding red horses and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd."

"Don't go out alone and compete with him in martial arts."

"Just hold your ground, open and close, and play steadily."

In the end, Tuli Khan nodded, and still took the advice that he had lost his mind.

And thus, the legend about the Great Tang God of Killing who held Fang Tian's painted halberd and ran away at sight was born.

……

On the other side, far away in Jingzhou, the situation here and the imperial court's reward for Li Qiu also spread to the Wu family and Wu Jue.

After hearing the news that Li Qiu and Luo Kexin were safe and sound, she was very happy.

And when she learned the news of the old prince's death, she also felt sad.

As for her two older brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, their attitudes towards Wu Jue have changed too much compared to history.

"younger sister!"

"Did you know the news?"

"Your Majesty canonized Li Qiu as King of Peking!"

"Now that my father is only the governor of Jingzhou, that's enough."

"It's really hard to imagine that on the borders of Youzhou, Yizhou and other thirteen states, Li Qiu is in charge of the military administration of the thirteen states, and these thirteen states are his own fiefdoms."

"How does that feel?"

"I'm afraid it's almost the same as being an emperor?"

It can be seen that he was so unrestrained, which made Wu Jue beside him very anxious.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense."

"This is a serious crime of bringing disaster on the family and being beheaded!"

Seeing her so nervous, Wu Yuanshuang laughed loudly, "Sister, don't panic."

"Now in the boundary of Jingzhou, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It doesn't look like they are in Chang'an City."

"But, having said that, I really want to go to Youzhou to have a look and play."

Hearing what they said, Wu Jue's big eyes rolled slyly.

"Wu Jue once heard from Brother Li Qiu that in the border of Youzhou, with white mountains and black waters, many customs and customs are also very interesting."

"If you want to go for a walk, Wu Jue can accompany you there."

"When the time comes, brother Li Qiu will definitely entertain the two elder brothers very warmly."
