This time Hou Junji could be regarded as avenging his past humiliation, and his achievements this time were enough to make up for his past mistakes. Just as Hou Junji was concentrating on writing the memorial, he heard someone reporting from outside the tent.

"General, the arrangements have been made."

"Come in."

The lieutenant then entered the big tent,

"General, the prisoners have been arranged according to the general's instructions. Each escaped person is killed, and the bodies of our own people have also been cleaned to ensure that they can go back with dignity.

Weapons and equipment have also been inventoried and this is a record. "After the adjutant finished speaking, he put a piece of paper on Hou Junji's case.

"Well, you go down." Hou Junji didn't even raise his head as he wrote.

However, the adjutant did not move, so Hou Junji raised his head and asked;

"What else?"

"General, the Lord said he wants the prisoners this time."

"Is he crazy? This time there are so many people watching the captives. It's okay to secretly take some weapons. How can more than 2 people just say no and disappear? Do you think those tens of thousands of people outside are all blind?

Besides, can he take care of so many people?

It's really stupid. With the few people he has, it won't be sure who will care when the time comes. "

Hou Junji said angrily, and the adjutant was stunned by a series of questions.

"General, don't be anxious. The Lord knows this. He only wants 3000 people this time." The adjutant said calmly.

"3000 people? That's too many. He can't take care of that small number of people. The maximum number is 1000 people." Hou Junji continued to shake his head.

"A thousand?" the deputy general began to think.

"Don't think that 1000 people is small. There are tens of thousands of eyes watching here. How can you escort 3000 people back?

If you agree, inform your people and wait in the southwest tomorrow. I will send it to the Khitan prisoners in the name of delivering it.

If you don't agree, then I, the general, have no choice but to tell your master not to have such an appetite. "

Hou Junji could only make these concessions. There were too many concessions that he could not explain. After all, military merit was not just for him, but also for the soldiers.

If someone doesn't poke him out, he will really be unable to eat and walk away.

The adjutant finally nodded and said

"Okay, then I will send someone to inform you immediately. You should be able to arrive at noon tomorrow. I would like to thank the general on behalf of my master. I will thank you very much in the future."

"Tell your master, don't do things in a hurry, learn to lie dormant and look for opportunities. I think the opportunity will come soon. Don't forget what he promised to this general."

Hou Junji said expressionlessly.

"General, don't worry, the Lord will do what he says. Then I will retire."

Seeing the deputy general retreating, Hou Junji showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. "A bunch of idiots."

Then he buried his head and continued writing the memorial.

"Eight hundred miles haste, a great victory in the north. The Dukes and Lords of the State of Lu gather together to kill [-] enemies and capture [-]."

"Eight hundred miles haste, a great victory in the north. The Dukes and Lords of the State of Lu gather together to kill [-] enemies and capture [-]."

"Eight hundred miles haste, a great victory in the north. The Dukes and Lords of the State of Lu gather together to kill [-] enemies and capture [-]."

The high-pitched voice of the messenger sounded in Chang'an City, and the people stopped one after another. This was good news. The strength of a country will change the mental outlook of its people.

Many people were very happy and happy about the victory.

Victory in the war means that more land and resources can be obtained, and the people can often drink soup.

Soon the report was sent to the palace, and Li Shimin summoned the ministers to read it. The king and his ministers rejoice together.

Finally, Li Shimin issued an edict, first encouraging him, and then ordering Hou Junji to return to the court with his troops.

The news spread quickly, and of course also reached Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Xuan Ce, I will go to three provinces in a while, copy the contents of the good news, and send it to the newspaper to make the people of Tang Dynasty happy."

Li Shen was chanting a string of beads in his hand. They were not Buddhist beads, but there were [-] of them. They were made of the dark wood that Li Shen purchased with gold.

The whole body is jet black, but there is yellow inside. Li Shen calls it black gold. Moreover, the beads are dotted with stars in the black, just like the stars in the dark night. Li Shen calls it a sky full of stars.

This string will be a priceless treasure to future generations.

Li Shen searched for it for a long time and spent a lot of money to find it.

Of course, the production process also took a lot of effort. The beads are evenly sized and have no flaws.

Wang Xuance felt a little weird when he saw Li Shen reciting the beads. He always felt that his master was about to believe in something.

"Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy Sangyang Dunni wants to see you." The steward came in to report.

"What is he here for?" Li Shen was confused.

"I think it should be related to trade." Wang Xuance analyzed.

"Take him to the front hall. Come on, follow me to meet him."

Not long after Li Shen sat down, Sangyang Dunie was brought in.

"The foreign minister has met His Highness Prince Ji."

"Well, take a seat and serve tea."

"I wonder why the Vice Minister is here?" Li Shen asked straight to the point without being polite.

"Your Highness, your country defeated Xue Yantuo's [-] troops. It is really gratifying and congratulatory." Sangyang Dunie began to congratulate without saying anything directly.

"Oh, you found out about this so quickly. You are quite well informed. These are all trivial matters. There is nothing worthy of congratulations. They are expected. Besides, if you want to congratulate me, shouldn't you notify Honglu Temple to congratulate me? Aye?"

Li Shen said lightly, it meant as simple as defeating Xue Yantuo or eating.

"Uh..." Sangyang was speechless.

Li Shen didn't say anything, just waiting for Sangyang Dune to say,

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, the foreign minister is here to represent us, Zanpu, to make a deal with the prince." Sangyang Dunie said helplessly when Li Shen didn't speak.

"You Zanpu want to make a deal with me? Let's talk about it." Li Shen asked with interest.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, what we Zanpu want to do is to hope that Prince Ji can open up trade between our two countries. You can put forward any conditions that the prince needs."

"The Deputy Prime Minister misunderstood. I just stopped my people from trading with you Tubo and did not close the gate. Datang is a country where trade can be done freely.

This king did not interfere with others. This is a transgression sin. "Li Shen said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, there is a saying in the Central Plains that people of the bright side should not speak secret words. I know that it was you who sent troops to cut off the road leading to Tubo outside the pass.

And they intercepted a lot of supplies sent to us in Tubo. "Sangyang Dunie finished speaking and looked at Li Shen's expression.

"Don't talk nonsense, Deputy Prime Minister. How can our prince mobilize troops without permission? This is a serious crime tantamount to treason." Wang Xuance, standing behind Li Shen, interrupted.

"Who is this?" Sangyang Dunie asked.

"Oh, this is the chief historian of our Prince Ji's Mansion, Wang Xuance."

"It turns out to be Wang Changshi, whom I have admired for a long time." Sangyang Dunie said. He always believed that all Li Shen's actions were done by this aide in his house.

Otherwise, how could Li Shen have such financial resources at such a young age. It is said that this King Ji started to have property when he was ten years old, and he built his own palace and moved out of the palace when he was eleven years old.

How can someone at such a young age have the ability?
