Chapter 2214 Victory in the First Battle!

"Enough! Let them go!"

Just when An Lushan was unwilling to give it a try, a majestic voice suddenly came from above his head. An Lushan was startled. He subconsciously looked up and saw Taishi wearing a divine armor in the sky. , slowly falling from the sky.

He didn't seem to be injured, but his aura was obviously not as strong and domineering compared to before, and his eyes were not as sharp and sharp as before. Obviously, in the battle with Wang Chong, Taishi was the same The consumption is huge.

"boom!"

After getting this moment of respite, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty retreated one after another, widening the distance between them and the coalition forces of other countries and Yiluohe. A moment later, with a roar, a huge steel gate fell, and the steel gate fell. The open gates of the fortress were also closed.

"Woo!"

The cold wind was howling, and whether An Lushan was willing or not, he could only withdraw his troops at this time. On the huge battlefield, there were piles of corpses everywhere, as well as discarded broken halberds. Blood was flowing freely on the ground, but It quickly condenses into ice.

"Let them survive for a while, then come with me. I'll see you if I need anything!"

Taishi left these words, his body swayed, and he quickly headed towards the north.

Behind them, the nations quickly swept the battlefield.

On the other side, Wang Chong stood on the top of the steel fortress, looking across. Behind him, Albus, Zhang Shougui, Zhangchou Jianqiong and others also gathered.

"Wang Chong, what should we do next?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

This battle was far more intense than imagined. Even the generals like them were stained, and the loss of troops was even more shocking. However, in comparison, what everyone was most concerned about was Wang Chong's order and next actions. .

In this unprecedented imperial war, Wang Chong is the well-deserved spiritual leader of the Tang Dynasty and the core of the empire. No matter where this battle goes or how many soldiers and horses are lost, as long as Wang Chong still stands in front of everyone, everyone will never be defeated. Even if it loses its direction, Datang will never fail!

"The war is over for the time being. In a short period of time, they should have no remaining strength to attack again. During this period, they will strengthen their vigilance. In addition, they will strengthen the underground formation. There must be no mistakes during this period!"

Wang Chong looked forward, without looking back, and said in a deep voice.

After hearing Wang Chong's words,

Everyone was very excited.

"Here's the order, go and make arrangements immediately!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong turned around, summoned a messenger, and said in a deep voice, who quickly flew away.

After Wang Chong finished those words, he ignored everyone. He slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, with a hint of worry flashing through his midnight-like eyes.

Although the battle was over, Wang Chong knew that everything had just begun. If he remembered correctly, the unprecedented snowstorm in his memory was coming soon.

The northern Turkic steppes have turned into a land of ice and snow, and all the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates have been expelled from their homes. This is no accident, and Datang is by no means the only survivor. The big snowstorm that broke out next, Or the Great Ice Age may be even more terrifying than the previous war.

Although a lot of arrangements have been made long ago, even Wang Chong doesn't know how effective it will be.

"Send the order and prepare to implement the 'hibernation plan'!"

"In addition, write me a letter to the capital to inform His Majesty and the court that things between me and them will happen soon. Tell them that there are only more than ten days!"

Wang Chong suddenly spoke.

"yes!"

Without saying a word, Zhang Que immediately jumped off the top of the steel fortress and disappeared into the distance.

"call!"

At the top of the fortress, a gust of cold wind blew by, and even Wang Chong disappeared.

In the air, the smell of blood is still lingering.

Time passed, and when it got dark, Prince Shaobao Wang Zhongsi led a group of cavalry through the East/Turkic Prairie and returned smoothly from the city gate at the other end of the Steel Fortress. At this point, the first and most intense imperial war in the Northeast came to an end for the time being. .

But despite this, for the inland China, the courtiers and people who are eagerly awaiting the arrival every day are suffering every day while waiting for the news.

And when the first war ended and the news spread back to the capital, everyone inside and outside the court was excited.

Countless notices were plastered all over the streets to reassure people.

"Very good!"

At this moment, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Heng's face was glowing red, and he suddenly slapped his palm on the dragon chair, his whole body was filled with excitement.

Li Heng's originally nervous mood finally relaxed as the first war ended.

Although he knew that Wang Chong would definitely not disappoint him, but trust was trust. Deep down in his heart, Li Heng couldn't help but worry about gains and losses, and was anxious.

Throughout the wars of the Tang Dynasty, although they all achieved final victory, the enemy had an absolute advantage every time, and the Tang Dynasty won despite all dangers.

Moreover, this time the northwest countries used their entire nation to attack the Tang Dynasty, in a completely desperate manner. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, nothing like this had ever happened.

"Eat, eat, bring dinner to His Majesty quickly!"

Seeing Li Heng's originally frowning brows relax, he felt much more relaxed. Li Jingzhong, who was already the general manager of the department, observed the situation and immediately gave instructions to Xiao Huang who was standing beside him.

The fate of the entire Tang Dynasty was tied to the Northeast. During this period, Li Heng could not sleep at night or eat. He was obviously losing weight. As Li Heng's confidant, Li Jingzhong knew very well that he was also secretly worried in his heart.

"yes!"

Xiao Huangmen quickly turned around and left, while in the main hall, the ministers looked as if they hadn't seen him, and lowered their heads in tacit understanding.

Taiji Hall is the place where the entire empire participates in political discussions and has a sacred status. However, at this time, Li Heng's increasingly thin body made the officials feel worried.

"Your Majesty, this battle is far from relaxing. It is just the end of the first battle, not a great victory. Moreover, the thirty thousand Yiluohe in Youzhou are always a threat!"

At this moment, the old teacher suddenly took two steps forward and spoke.

When everyone is getting carried away and beaming with joy, it is his duty to give them a heads-up and calm them down.

At least in his opinion, now is not the time to relax.

As soon as the old master's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much depressed.

The Tang Dynasty had supervisors in all armies. Naturally, there were also supervisors in this Northeast War. These news came from the supervisors in the army.

It was exciting to severely dampen the enemy's arrogance and cause heavy losses to the various countries, but the news coming from the northeast also mentioned the mysterious Yiluohe troops.

The Wushang Iron Cavalry trained by Wang Chong was the most powerful in the world, but the losses in this battle also reached seven to eight thousand, which was simply shocking.

Even the imperial court's supervisory army in the Northeast said in the letter, "The thieves are so powerful that if there were no Wushang cavalry at the last moment, I am afraid that the Northeast would have been defeated today."

The situation in Northeast China is still serious today, and it is indeed far from time to relax.

"Cao Shangshu, how is the situation in the Northeast and how is the logistics supply?"

Li Heng suddenly turned his head and said to Cao Yanqiu, the Minister of War, who was standing in the train.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the previous plan, all weapons, money, food, including warm clothes, have been fully transported to the steel fortress in the northeast!"

Cao Yanqiu lowered his head and said respectfully.

"not enough!"

Li Heng was silent for a moment and suddenly frowned.

"In the palace, the expenses will be cut in half, and all the savings will be used to support the front line. In addition, another half of the money will be allocated from the palace treasury to be sent to the front line."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Others were okay, but Li Jingzhong couldn't help showing a worried look.

The empire's treasury has always been divided into the national treasury and the palace treasury. The so-called palace treasury is also the emperor's private treasury.

To be an emperor, one must have the majesty of an emperor. There are so many maids, eunuchs, concubines, and empresses in the harem. All the food and clothing expenses of everyone are borne by the emperor. They come from the palace treasury, not the national treasury.

In addition, the various silks, silks, gold and silver treasures that the emperor daily rewards ministers are all from the palace treasury.

These are necessary for their existence.

In addition, allocating half of the money may not seem like much, but the actual situation is that when preparing for the war, the palace had already spent more than 70% of the money, and there was not much money left. Normal expenses are already a bit reluctant. If we spend half more...

"Do as I do!"

As if he knew what Li Jingzhong was thinking, Li Heng suddenly spoke, leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jingzhong sighed in his heart and had no choice but to obey.

"Report! Your Majesty, the King of Foreign Land has sent an urgent message from the Northeast Steel Fortress!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

In the blink of an eye, a Jinwu guard wearing armor and a hurried expression walked in from outside.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of all the monarchs and ministers in the hall.

"Send it up!"

Li Heng's eyes lit up, he pressed the armrests with both hands, stood up from the dragon chair, and actually walked towards the Jinwu guard.

After taking the letter from Jin Wuwei, there was a familiar stamp on the envelope. He opened it and just glanced at it. Li Heng's expression suddenly darkened.

"The Great Ice Age...is coming so soon!"

After reading the last word in the letter, Li Heng's heart was heavy and his face was solemn.

…

In the far northeast, in a temporary army camp built with tents, the Khitan King, the Eastern/Turkish Usumis Khan, the Goguryeo Emperor Yuan Gaisuwen... and the generals of An Lushan and Youzhou all gathered together. , and in the center of the camp, Taishi stood proudly with several divine kings.

The countries didn't know much about Taishi, but it wasn't a big problem. Taishi just showed his hands casually and killed a few people, and then he made the monarchs of the countries obey him.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

In the huge tent, An Lushan was the first to break the silence and speak. As soon as his voice fell, the eyes of everyone in the room focused on Taishi.

"There's no rush! Let's make a truce for the time being."

Taishi waved his hand and said solemnly.
