"Tell me, what exactly did they do?"

Li Shimin asked Cheng Zhijie curiously.

He had read the military newspaper, but it was not very detailed.

I only know that Yan Kai and the others used the ice city to hold back the army of the Turk Jili Khan for several days.

Finally, they attacked the camp at night and captured Jieli Khan alive.

But how exactly it is done is not explained clearly.

So Cheng Zhijie told what he knew.

Finally, he said a little strangely: "Those Turkic prisoners said that on the last night, countless people in the camp suddenly shouted that our Tang army had entered."

"We were also shouting that Jieli Khan was killed by our Tang army, so the Turkic army was immediately in chaos."

"It was as if there were countless spies lurking in the Turkic army, but later there was no trace of any of these people."

"It's not necessarily a meticulous work." Tang Jian said with a sigh on the side.

When he scolded Jieli Khan, in a camp, Yan Kai was able to spread his voice so that the entire Turkic camp could hear it.

Thinking about it later, he also felt it was very magical.

"Oh? Do you know what Tang Aiqing is?" Li Shimin felt itchy in his heart.

According to Cheng Zhijie, Yan Kai is simply a magical weapon for night attacks.

Throughout history, marching and fighting can lead to more battles with less.

Most of them borrowed the power of water and fire or night attacks.

And a qualified general will definitely have various ways to guard against night attacks.

But from what Tang Jian said, Yan Kai's approach was simply unexplainable.

"I forgot!" Tang Jian said with a look of displeasure: "At that time, I followed the Turkic army and was chased by our Tang army for so long, and my brain was not working well."

Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded. From a strategic perspective, Li Jing did nothing wrong.

But thinking from Tang Jian's position, what he did at that time was indeed unreasonable.

It almost killed him.

So he felt unhappy, and Li Shimin could understand.

At this time, he could only wink and ask his uncle, Chang Sun Wuji and others to come out and smooth things over.

Several people were considered civil servants, so they scolded Li Jing and gave Tang Jian some comfort.

Li Jing was open-minded. If these people said it, he would apologize.

I think I didn't do well.

This time he achieved great success in defeating the Turks.

He has been cautious all his life, and after achieving such great achievements, he is not only not proud, but also thinks about how to reduce his achievements.

It's just right now.

Tang Jian also knew that Li Shimin was trying to set him back. Although he was a troll, he could not be like Wei Zheng.

I scolded Li Jing a few times, but seeing how he looked like everything you said was right, I felt a little bored.

Then he said to Li Shimin: "I don't know exactly how Yan Kai did it."

"It's just that that night before the night attack, he flew a lot of kites into the sky."

"Kite?" The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty looked at each other, but no one thought that there was something about the kite.

"Well, there must be something hanging under the kite."

"Before Cheng Huailiang and Chun Yuzhen left the Ice City, Yan Kai asked someone to cut the string of the kite. Then they rushed over!"

"Unbelievable!" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Zhijie and asked, "That boy of yours didn't say anything?"

"I told you." Cheng Zhijie smiled bitterly: "As soon as I asked, the boy said: Dad, how did you know that I captured Jieli Khan alive?"

Everyone else laughed when they heard this. This boy looked exactly like Cheng Zhijie in his sly manner.

Li Shimin also smiled bitterly, he was moved.

But Yan Kai and the others had just made such a great contribution, so he couldn't ask others to arrest them all and bring them to Chang'an to torture them on how they did it, right?

In that case, I'm afraid no one will be willing to sacrifice their lives for him in the future.

But that kid is greedy... greedy for craftsmen.

Why don't you send some more to him in exchange?

He also knows whether these things were made by the craftsmen he sent.

You said that when these craftsmen didn't go there, the things were well made, but there was nothing new.

But after going to Kuoding County, everything becomes different?

Anyway, this is a big victory.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded thousands of miles to the north, and the expansion of territory was a great achievement for the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

The Sixth Route Army and the generals who led the army all rewarded them based on their merits, and then it was the turn of the people in Kuoding County.

"Cheng Huailiang captured Jieli Khan alive and was granted the title of Marquis of Dong'e County, Princess Shangqinghe, and Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort."

"Your Majesty, the traitor said... he still wants to stay in Kuoding County for a while." Cheng Zhijie said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, let him stay for another two years, then go back to Chang'an and marry Qinghe when he is nineteen."

There are still two years left in Yan Kai's term, and Li Shimin has not yet decided whether to transfer him back.

What Yan Kai means is that he wants to take root in Kuoding County.

"Chun Yuzhen of Kuoding County was promoted to General Ying Yanglang. He established Yingyang Mansion in Kuoding County and commanded a thousand troops! He was granted the title of Bo of Guanyang County."

This can be considered a first of its kind.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the military system was reformed, and Yingyang Mansion was changed to Zhechong Mansion.

The Sui system is still used today.

There are a total of 634 military mansions in the country.

This is the first time that a military mansion can be set up specifically for a lower county.

"Then Yan Kai has a strong general, right?" Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian playfully and asked.

"But there is one person who is currently leading the navy in Kuoding County."

Everyone knows who this is about.

Li Shimin also knew that he must have been deceived by Yan Kai and the others.

But with his sense of humour, he would not trouble Yan Kai again because of this matter.

"Do you know your name?"

"I don't know!" Tang Jian shook his head.

"Okay, then give me the surname Yan, let's call it... call it Yan Guan!" Li Shimin also learned the lesson badly: "Feng Wendeng County Prince, set up Kuoding County Navy Mansion, appointed Guoyi Captain, led an army of one thousand, and awarded Feiqi Lieutenant ”

This is how Li Shimin gave Li Anyan an upright identity to stand up for.

But this surname is just disgusting.

Who told Yan Kai and others to lie to him at that time? Just because you don’t pursue it doesn’t mean you’re not petty.

"Zheng Zhixun, the magistrate of Kuoding County, was granted the title of Court Yilang."

"Zhou Tong, the county captain of Kuoding County, was granted the title of Zhaowu Colonel."

At this time, Yilang and Xiaowei Zhaowu both held official positions in the sixth rank, but they were casual officials.

This means that the two of them are still staying in their original positions, but the treatment is that of the sixth grade.

You must know that Dengzhou is still a lower state, and the long history of Zhongzhou is the sixth-rank official.

It can be said that Zheng Zhixun and Zhou Tong have not yet reached the top, but they are already on the same level as Zhongzhou Governor Shi in terms of status.

Everyone knows that these two young men have never been on the battlefield. They can get such a reward. Although they have some achievements of their own, it is mainly because of Yan Kai.

At this time, Yan Kai was still a seventh-grade county magistrate. Everyone was curious about what official position Li Shimin would confer on Yan Kai.
