Datong, an important border town.
This day.
Outside Datong City, a team of cavalry rolled in.
Tang soldiers stationed in the city saw the cavalry from a distance.
The police drum rang through the city.
In a moment, the general of the city head boarded the city head and stopped for a long walk.
At the foot of the city, 2000 cavalry in blood armor stood on horses. Unlike ordinary cavalry, each cavalry in this team is equipped with at least two war horses.
In the Tang Dynasty, especially when the war was just over, the war horses were cherished. Even the most elite Xuanjia army of the Tang Dynasty could only ride two horses per person. At this time, the team under the city had three war horses per person. This configuration can be said to be quite luxurious.
Looking closely, these soldiers were not dressed in strange dark red armor, but the blood dried up on the armor. The armor is covered with shocking knife and arrow marks in many places.
Only from these cracks, it is obvious that this cavalry team has experienced a tragic war.
Everyone has stubble on his face, messy hair and black face. I don''t know how long he hasn''t taken a bath. He looks particularly untidy and embarrassed.
But everyone''s body, invisible exudes a sense of killing.
This kind of killing intention can only be seen by veterans who have experienced many battles after rolling out of the Shura in hell.
In front of the team, there was also a young general with a broken beard. Through the blood stains, you can vaguely see that you are wearing a white robe and a pair of eyes under your messy hair, which makes people shudder.
Shouted the general at the head of the city.
"Who is under the city?"
Under the city, a loud voice came.
"I''m the commander of zuowuwei, Xiaoqi Wei Tang Hao. Please open the gate and let me wait for 2000 warriors to enter the city."
This team was the light cavalry troops led by Tang Hao who went deep into the Turkic rear.
After attacking the Royal garrison, in order to avoid the siege and interception of Turks and hundreds of thousands of retreating Turks, Tang Hao led his team to detour, cross the canyon from the gap, take the Guming pass on the west side of Datong, and finally arrive at Datong mansion.
Along the way, the cavalry team can experience the hardships.
Looking at these light knights and soldiers, the soldiers at the head of the city were silent.
The general at the head of the city responded first and shouted.
"It''s the team that raided the king''s court that''s back! Hurry to report to the king of Jiangxia county and say that Tang Xiaoqi and Cheng Xiaoqi are back."
After that, the general stationed at the head of the city waved hurriedly.
"Open the gate! Open the gate!"
Tang Hao under the city was relieved to hear the excited shouts of the city.
Anyway, I didn''t get shut out and finally returned to the region of Datang.
The news of Tang Hao''s return soon spread among Datong officials.
In Datong mansion, people and soldiers rushed out one after another and rushed to the streets to warmly welcome the great hero who created the miracle of the Tang Dynasty and the warriors under his command.
For a time, the streets were crowded and thunderous with joy. Tang Hao, like a bright star, walked slowly across the street with Wu Zhui, feeling people''s worship and admiration.
In the past few days, Tang Hao''s opportunity has spread all over the Tang Dynasty.
With 3000 soldiers wandering in the Turkic grassland, among the 20000 Turkic troops encircled and suppressed, they not only wiped out more than 10000 Turkic soldiers, but also burned the Royal garrison tents and captured the Turkic Prince alive.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, although we have won the war against foreign nations, no one can be as good as champion Hou Huo Qubing.
Today, however, Datang has a figure who can compete with champion Hou.
In the lane, the crowd cheered and talked.
"Tang Xiaoqi''s unparalleled feats should also be awarded the champion of Tang Xiaoqi Wei, shining through the ages and competing with strong men."
"How is it possible that we only granted titles on a large scale when the Tang Dynasty was founded. Now the king of Tang granted a group of veterans with outstanding achievements when he saw Lingyan Pavilion. Since then, he has not granted titles at the Marquis level."
"In today''s peaceful and prosperous age, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to confer Marquis again, but it is possible to confer a second-class title. However, judging from the decision of the king of Tang, Tang Xiaoqi has such great achievements, so it is reasonable to confer a second-class title."
Soon these words were drowned in cheers.
At the north gate of Datong, Tang Hao once met Li daozong, king of Jiangxia Prefecture.
Tang Hao didn''t have much affection for the dramatic king of the Tang Dynasty, who had ups and downs in his life, but he didn''t hate it.
Seeing the hurried Li daozong coming in person, Tang Hao dismounted and bowed.
"The last general, I have seen the king of Jiangxia county."
Li daozong got off his horse and helped Tang Hao up with his own hands.
"Good nephew, get up quickly. This time, you have made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty."
The Turkic invasion was also due to the discord between Li daozong''s subordinates and generals, which led to the sudden invasion of Turks and the loss of the city. Li daozong''s own subordinates suffered heavy losses.
After that, Su dingfang, the Duke of Xing, was suddenly ill, and the Turkic army pressed the border, which almost led to great disaster.
In such a tense situation in the north, Li daozong can not escape his blame. Even if someone wants to intercede for him, he is powerless.
The king of Hejian, who succeeded Su dingfang, used conservative troops and nearly put 100000 soldiers in danger in the Tang Dynasty.
If the prince of Hejian was defeated, Li daozong, who caused trouble, would certainly be the first to commit a crime.
Thanks to Tang haobing''s dangerous move, Jieli Khan had to withdraw.
For Li daozong, this is undoubtedly great good news, so he owes Tang Hao a favor.
Li Xiaogong took Tang Hao''s hand, held it tightly in his heart, smiled and said excitedly,
"Good nephew, follow me to the house. Today, today we don''t get drunk!"
Facing such a warm reception from Li daozong, Tang Hao felt a little uncomfortable, but did not refuse and followed him.
