Because the casualties exceeded expectations, Li Shimin was also very annoyed. Even if Li Xiu persuaded him, it was useless. However, someone soon sent another statistical battle report, which turned Li Shimin into joy and said loudly: "Not bad, Li Xiu, come and have a look!"

Li Xiu was also a little surprised to see Li Shimin's expression change. He took the battle report and found that this was the battle report that Cheng Yaojin had just sent. It recorded that he intercepted the material list of Goguryeo, including more than 50,000 horses, more than 50,000 cattle, ten thousand sets of iron armor, and countless other materials. After all, the daily consumption of the 150,000 Goguryeo army was very amazing. Now that he was defeated, Cheng Yaojin copied their rear army, and the materials were naturally of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiu was originally in charge of logistics, but now he saw that so much material was seized, and the others congratulated Li Shimin one after another, which made Li Shimin feel better. However, he did not forget the casualties and immediately sent someone to rule the list and the court would unify the pension.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin brought Li Xiu and others to Li Ji's camp. Now Li Ji and Li Daozong have joined forces, and then surrounded the mountain where Gao Yanshou is located. There is no water or food on the mountain, so they probably won't last long.

"See Your Majesty!" After receiving the news that Li Shimin came, Li Ji and Li Daozong also came to pay a visit immediately. The two had almost never rested since yesterday and their eyes were red, especially the armor on Li Daozong's body was rusty red, which was dry blood. After all, he was also present in the battle formation yesterday, and from yesterday to now, there was no time to rest at all.

However, although there was no rest for a day and a night, Li Ji and Li Daozong were extremely excited. After all, they were both very successful in achieving such a great victory, and it would be certain that they would be famous in history in the future.

"No need to be polite. You fought very well yesterday, and it really did not disappoint my trust!" Li Shimin also laughed loudly at this time, then stepped forward to support his two beloved generals and praised him.

Hearing Li Shimin's praise, Li Ji and Li Daozong also hurriedly said a few humble words, but the satisfaction and pride on their faces could not be hidden. However, at this time, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and said to Li Daozong: "By the way, where was the young white-robed general with amazing green eyes on the battlefield yesterday?"

When Li Daozong heard Li Shimin ask about Xue Rengui, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiu behind him, and then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are talking about Xue Rengui recommended by the prince-consort. This person is extremely brave. Thanks to him leading his army to break through the enemy yesterday, we successfully cut off the army of Goguryeo. Now he is stationed at the foot of the mountain. Is Your Majesty going to summon him?"

Later generations had a novel about "Talking about the Complete Biography of Tang". According to the content of the novel, although Xue Rengui was valued by Li Shimin for his performance on the battlefield, he was replaced by his boss with his nephew, and almost buried Xue Rengui. However, now Xue Rengui has the backstage of Li Xiu, and no one dares to make such an idea.

"Hahahahaha~, when I was watching the battle yesterday, I wanted to see this Xue Rengui earlier. Go and summon him. I want to see this powerful general with my own eyes!" Li Shimin also laughed loudly at this time. He was originally a general, and when he saw Xue Rengui's Xiaoyong yesterday, he naturally became a loving talent.

When Li Daozong heard this, he immediately sent someone to invite Xue Rengui over. After a while, he saw the tall and burly Xue Rengui strode towards him. The armor on his body had been damaged in many places and had some minor injuries on his body, but it was not serious.

However, the most attractive thing was the white robe on his body, but at this time the white robe had turned into a red robe, full of dried blood, and it had been cut into several pieces. It looked a little embarrassed, but it showed his bravery yesterday.

"Are you Xue Rengui?" Li Shimin looked up and down at Xue Rengui, and asked with a little surprise on his face. Xue Rengui was tall and tall, almost comparable to Yuchi Gong. No wonder he was invincible on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the last general is Xue Li, whose courtesy name is Rengui!" Xue Rengui didn't know why Li Shimin summoned him here, so he looked confused. He looked at Li Xiu when he saluted, but Li Xiu just showed him an encouraging smile.

"Not bad, I see your performance on the battlefield yesterday. It's true that I am my favorite student!" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and praise again. Although the students who graduated from military academy in name were all his students, they were actually Li Jing and Qin Qiong. In order to make Xue Rengui deepen their impression in Li Shimin, Li Xiu called the other party a favorite student. As a result, Li Shimin was not ashamed, but instead took it directly to use it. It seemed that he taught Xue Rengui.

"Your Majesty is wrong. The General of the Mo has only fulfilled his duties. If General Li did not have the proper command and the soldiers' desperate campaign, the General of the Mo has no effect!" Xue Rengui said humbly at this time. Although he was big and thick, he was actually a very smart person. At this time, he also pushed his credit to Li Daozong and his soldiers, so that he would not offend others.

"Hahaha~! It's rare that you are not proud of your merits, but I know your merits!" When Li Shimin said this, his eyes looked at the tattered white robe behind Xue Rengui, and he also spoke again, "I heard from the prince-consort that you like to wear white robes. It just so happened that I have a white robe here, so I will reward you. I hope you will make more contributions to the country in the future!"

Li Shimin said as he waved his hand, and immediately an eunuch held a white robe in his hand and brought it to Xue Rengui. This made Xue Rengui stunned at first, then he took the white robe excitedly, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Xue Li thanks Your Majesty for the reward!"

Looking at the white robe in Xue Rengui's hand, the people around him also showed envious expressions. A mere white robe is nothing, but this was personally rewarded by Li Shimin. In other words, it means that Li Shimin has recorded Xue Rengui. This is called Jian Zai Di Xin. Xue Rengui's promotion will be much smoother than other people in the future.

Li Xiu laughed in his heart when he saw this. Although Li Shimin's trick of winning people's hearts is very old-fashioned, it has to be said to be very useful. Not to mention how Xue Rengui is, some of the generals around him are already breathing their eyes, wishing they could make great contributions and then get rewards from Li Shimin.

He had to do the whole show, but Li Shimin personally helped Xue Rengui up, and then asked the other party a few very kindly. The question was very simple, just asking him how he was injured, whether there were any difficulties in the army, and Xue Rengui also answered one by one. Finally, Li Shimin asked him to follow him, and then walked around the foot of the mountain himself, which also made all the soldiers at the foot of the mountain see that Xue Rengui could be with His Majesty, which naturally attracted many people to be envious and jealous.

After performing the trick of winning people's hearts, Li Shimin asked Xue Rengui to go back, and then brought Li Xiu, Li Ji, Li Daozong and others to the tent to discuss matters. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Shimin saying to Li Ji: "Maogong, has Gao Yanshou on the mountain sent someone to surrender?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Gao Yanshou failed to break through last night and has not sent anyone yet. However, there is no water or food on the mountain, and more than 40,000 remaining soldiers are completely unethical. According to my estimate, he will send someone to surrender at most three days!" Li Ji spoke confidently at this time. Gao Yanshou on the mountain seemed to him to have become his own pocket.

"Three days has been too long. I want to take advantage of this great victory to win Anshicheng in one go, so today you will send someone up the mountain to persuade you to surrender. As long as Gao Yanshou is not stupid, you will know how to choose!" Li Shimin immediately spoke.

After this big victory, the morale of the Tang army also rose to its highest point. Although morale is invisible and intangible, it is extremely important. The reason why there are so many records in history that win by few is not only objective conditions such as time and place, morale is also a key factor in determining the outcome.

"I obey the order!" Li Ji immediately took the order. As a veteran who had followed Li Shimin for many years, he didn't need Li Shimin to explain too much. He knew Li Shimin's plan, which was the tacit understanding between their king and his subjects.

"Chengfan, this time you can destroy the 150,000 Goguryeo's army in one fell swoop, your cavalry has made great contributions, but next you have to let the cavalry take a good rest. When the Anshi City is broken, you will immediately attack Pyongyang City, and Su Dingfang's army also set out from the sea. At that time, you will cooperate with each other and strive to capture Pyongyang City in one fell swoop and capture Quangasuwen!" Li Shimin ordered Li Daozong again at this time.

"As for your order!" Li Daozong immediately took the order. He was full of cavalry, so he naturally couldn't use it when attacking Anshi City. Moreover, yesterday's battle also consumed a lot of cavalry's physical strength, and the casualties were quite large. For example, half of the nearly two thousand soldiers killed in the battle were cavalry.

After confirming the next layout, Li Shimin immediately discussed military affairs with Li Ji and the others. Originally, this matter should have been done by Cheng Yaojin. If he didn't do it, Yaojin was cleaning up the battlefield in the rear and could not come back for the time being, so Li Shimin would replace him. Of course, even if Cheng Yaojin is here, he would probably make the same choice.

The matter was completed, and it was already evening. Li Shimin went out of the tent and looked at the besieged hill. Because the mountain was not high, with the light of the setting sun, he could even see that Goguryeo defeated soldiers were everywhere on the mountain.

However, just when Li Shimin was about to turn around and leave here, he suddenly heard a noise on the besieged mountain, which made him stunned. Then he turned his head to look, but found that something seemed to have happened among the remaining soldiers of the besieged Goguryeo, especially at the top of the mountain, and there were even shouts of killing.
