Bingzhou is already the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing no longer worried about Jie Li's safety. Besides, although Li Ke left the Chongqi Camp in Bingzhou, the number of Eagle Guards after being reorganized reached 3,000. Adding to the five thousand ghost-faced cavalry, eight thousand people were enough to protect Jie Li's safety. **Book! Bar*

Therefore, the eight thousand black-clothed guards led the way, and Li Jing and Li Ke and his party walked very safely.[]

Furthermore, Li Shimin had received a triumphant report from the Tang army. He ordered that the prefectures and counties along the way must ensure the safety of the army along the way. Therefore, their respective garrisons would personally escort Li Ke and others. In addition, the people were particularly happy to hear that Li Ke and Li Jing defeated Tuli and captured Jie Li alive. They would set off firecrackers along the way to celebrate, which made the marching slower.

However, even with this marching speed, Li Jing and Li Ke and his party finally reached the outskirts of Chang'an after five days of marching.

When the army was walking on the official road in Chang'an, they saw the banners waving in front of him. Li Ke asked the Eagle Guard to come forward to ask the reason. Wang Zhongchang came forward to ask in person. Only then did Li Ke know that the Qianniu Guard in front of him specifically welcome Li Jing. Li Ke and Tuli also told Li Jing that Li Shimin would go out of the city to greet the army and toast the soldiers who returned from triumphantly.

When Li Ke, Li Jing and Tuli heard this, the three of them seemed a little at a loss. Therefore, Li Ke, Li Jing and Tuli began to organize their clothes. Li Ke asked Su Dingfang to convey the toast of Li Shimin to the Black Guard. After dealing with these matters, Li Ke handed Jie Li's prison car to Qianniu Guard. He knew that Qianniu Guard would definitely not be aimless in appearance, and they must have their purpose.

After handing Jie Li's prison car to Qianniu Guard, Li Ke and Li Jing and his group began to march slowly towards Chang'an City.

Li Shimin received the news that the Tang army defeated the Turks and captured Jie Li alive very early. He was very happy at that time because his long-term wish was resolved, and he seemed to have lifted a huge burden and felt much more relaxed. He also thought that Li Ke, the deputy general manager of the Tang army, still clearly remembered Li Ke's affirmative tone when he was talking to Li Ke. So, thinking of this, he came to Qianqiu Palace and told Yang Fei the news of Li Ke's return in triumphant.

Since Li Ke served as the deputy general manager of the marching, Concubine Yang was very worried. She always believed that as long as her son was safe and sound, even if he was mediocre and mediocre, she also knew Li Ke's character and Li Ke's ambitions. Therefore, she did not advise Li Ke, as a mother, instead she was worthy of her support for Li Ke.

However, when Concubine Yang heard that Li Ke's army defeated the Turks and captured Jie Li alive, she shed tears of joy.

"Beloved concubine, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin asked with concern when he saw Yang Fei crying.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, I'm happy. Ke'er has finally grown up and can share his worries for the emperor!" Concubine Yang immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Li Shimin.

"Yes, Ke'er has grown up, I feel very relieved!" Li Shimin said lightly, "When the army returns in triumph, I will go out of Mingde Gate to greet them in person. My beloved concubine will go with me at that time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Yang said happily.

Because Li Shimin was happy that he had finished dinner at Yang Fei and returned to his imperial study room.

Li Shimin, who returned to the imperial study, was still very excited. He suppressed his joy and began to read the memorial sent by Li Jing carefully. Because the Tang army won the battle, Li Jing sent a very detailed report to Li Shimin. The entire war process of the Tang army was basically recorded, and many generals made military contributions.

Therefore, after reading this report in detail, Li Shimin still thought about how to reward these people.

Although the military merit reward should be included in the military books and newspapers, the Ministry of Personnel investigated, discussed and formulated, and then presented it to Li Shimin for a review. If Li Shimin is not satisfied, the court officials can discuss it at the court meeting. However, Li Shimin did not think so in his heart, because some people's military newspapers cannot be solved by the Ministry of Personnel! Just like the Tuli reward, Li Jing's reward and Li Ke's reward, these are not something that the Ministry of Personnel can decide, and they must participate in it themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin summoned the Minister of the Kung Fu to his imperial study to discuss the rewards of the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. There was a reason why he was so anxious. Li Jing not only explained his military achievements and achievements in the report, but also told Li Shimin about the time and route of the Tang army, and the matter of his convening Tuli to return to Tang to receive the title.

Therefore, Li Shimin had to worry.

Because, now the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks instead of destroying the Turks. Therefore, the Turks still needed someone to manage and rule the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it was particularly important for Tuli to surrender the Tang army at this time. As long as the Tang Dynasty treats Tuli well, it can leave an image of the Turkic Khan among the Turkic people, which will make the Tang Dynasty beneficial to ruling the Turkic Turkic. Tuli is with Li Jing and his group and will arrive in Chang'an City in a day. If Tuli reaches Chang'an, Li Shimin has not yet come up with a definite reward plan, and Tuli will wait for a long time, which will be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty. Because of this reason, Li Shimin will start discussing these issues with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others after receiving the report.

Finally, after fierce discussion, the rewards for those who have made meritorious service were basically confirmed.

It is a serious statement here that basically certain is because everyone's rewards from Li Jing and Li Ke are endless. This is not that everyone has not discussed the result, but that Li Shimin did not allow everyone to participate in the rewards from Li Jing and Li Ke. Since Li Shimin did not allow everyone to participate, everyone knows that Li Shimin naturally has his own ideas in his heart.

However, through this incident, everyone also understood Li Ke’s position in Li Shimin’s mind. They found that this position could not be replaced by anyone!

On December 15th, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang. On Zhuque Street, the Jinwu Guards on the left and right blocked the entire street, but the street was filled with people from the whole city gathered to welcome the heroes who returned triumphantly. Therefore, when the frame of Li Shimin, who was guarding thousands of Niu Guards, appeared on Zhuque Street, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides knelt on the ground and shouted long live, and the sound shook the sky, making Li Shimin, who was sitting in the frame, feel excited.

Outside Chang'an City, the Jinwu Guards had long been blocked by the left and right Jinwu Guards, and both sides of the pipeline were covered with heavy armored Jinwu Guards.

When Li Shimin's frame slowly appeared outside Chang'an City, all the important officials of the Tang Dynasty had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Li Shimin's frame, they knelt down and shouted long live. Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang slowly got off the frame. Li Shimin signaled to the important officials to calm down. He heard the Jinwu Guards on both sides shouting long live, with a rainbow of momentum.

Shortly after Li Shimin's frame arrived outside Chang'an City, he saw several thousand Niu Guards appearing on the pipe in front of him. He saw a Qianu Guard general dismounting a hundred steps away from Li Shimin and running to Li Shimin and kneeling, "Report to the emperor, the army of the northern expedition has reached three miles away!"

"Yeah" Li Shimin nodded lightly. His face did not show any joy, but he was very happy.

Soon, he saw Qianniuwei in yellow and iron armor appearing on the pipe. In the middle of Qianniuwei was a prison car. Li Shimin had good eyesight and he recognized the person in the prison car at a glance that was Jie Li. When he saw Jie Li in the prison car, Li Shimin showed a faint smile on his face.

The prison car was sent to Li Shimin by Qianniu Guard. Li Shimin glanced at Jie Li Khan with a haggard face and said in a faint tone, "I have been wronged by Jie Li Khan. I am not well treated well. Please go down and rest first. When things happen here, I will visit the Khan!"

Li Shimin spoke very politely, and did not mock Jie Li by Li Ke and mock him, but he did not show excessive enthusiasm. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor's majesty must be maintained!

Li Shimin's words were obvious, and Qianniuwei could understand them naturally. After seeing Li Shimin finished speaking, they drove Jie Li's prison car to Chang'an City.

At this time, Li Shimin saw a cavalry in black and black armor appearing in his sight. The three people in the front of the black-clad cavalry were very eye-catching, with Li Ke, Li Jing and Tuli respectively.
