After Li Jing looked at all the battle reports, he counted the losses of the Tang army. Because this battle was a surprise attack, although the Tang army suffered some losses, in reality, the losses were not large, only around two thousand people.
Exchanging two thousand for the destruction of the Turks, no matter how one looked at it, it was worth it.
After Li Jing finished reading all the battle reports, he looked at the people sitting below. There were Li Ji, Du Qi, Zhang Gongjin, Tang Jian, Su Dingfang, and the other main generals. He said solemnly, "We have obtained an unprecedented victory in this battle. All the Turks have been taken down. We have obtained a complete victory in this battle. For us to be able to obtain a complete victory in this battle, we cannot do without your efforts. This old man would like to express his thanks to all of you. "
Everyone quickly shook their heads in humility.
They all knew that the main plan was made by Du Qi and Li Jing. The generals only needed to carry out the orders. Hence, the real contribution was Du Qi and Li Jing.
After Li Jing spoke about the attribution of the contribution, he changed the topic and said, "We have obtained a great victory in this battle and captured many people. The most important thing is that we captured Xieli Khan and his main subordinates, especially Princess Yicheng. This is a great thing. "
"Men, bring everyone up."
Li Jing directly gave the order.
"Yes!"
The soldiers outside received the order and immediately went to arrange things.
Not long later, Xieli Khan, Kang Sumi, Zhi Shili, and even Shibo and Princess Yicheng Yang Lizhi were brought over.
All of their faces were filled with fear.
When everyone saw Li Jing, apart from Princess Yicheng, the rest all knelt down.
They directly admitted defeat.
Especially Xieli Khan, he did not hesitate and directly kowtowed, "Manager Li, I am willing to submit to the Tang dynasty, I am willing to enter the court and listen to the arrangements of the Tang dynasty Emperor. Please spare my life, Chief Steward Li. "
Hearing these words, Li Jing smiled, "Xieli, you are directly admitting defeat and begging for mercy. Have you forgotten your identity? You must know that you are Xieli Khan of the Turks. Are you not going to fight to the death? "
"Of course not!"
Xieli Khan did not even need to think before answering directly.
Right now, he had already lost his will to fight. He only wanted to protect his own life. If he couldn't even protect his own life, then he would have nothing left.
Where there's life, there's hope.
This was the key.
Xieli Khan hurriedly said, "Director Li, I'm a barbarian. I don't have any knowledge or experience. That's why I didn't know about fate and actually fought against the Tang dynasty. I've lost, and I admit defeat wholeheartedly. I've always admired the Tang dynasty. A few years ago, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang dynasty was wise and mighty, and he swept through the world. "
Pausing for a moment, Xieli Khan continued, "I have always admired His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. Now that I've been defeated, I'm willing to enter the imperial court and serve His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. I'm willing to serve him. "
This was a direct bootlicking.
What Xieli Khan thought was that as long as he could survive, everything would be worth it.
Even if he had to bootlick, he would accept it.
When Li Jing heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect the great Turkic Khagan Xieli to be able to say such sensible words. Very good, very good. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll escort you to the south and enter the imperial court to see His Majesty, and let His Majesty decide your life and death. "
"Phew!"
Xieli Khan let out a long sigh of relief.
His life was saved.
As long as Li Jing didn't kill him, when he saw the Emperor of the Tang dynasty, he would kneel and bootlick, expressing his willingness to be a subject and pledge allegiance. Then, the Emperor of the Tang dynasty would definitely accept him.
This was the truth that Xieli Khan concluded.
Xieli Khan said, "Director Li, don't worry. I'll do my best to cooperate and guarantee that it won't affect the overall situation. In short, I, Xieli Khan, sincerely and wholeheartedly pledge my allegiance. "
Li Jing smiled.
He didn't approve of Xieli Khan's pledge of allegiance. But since Xieli was willing to pledge allegiance, Li Jing didn't care more.
It was good that it was done.
Li Jing agreed to the other party's submission in front of everyone. His eyes swept over Kang Sumi, Zhi Shili, and the others. Immediately, Kang Sumi and the others also quickly expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to the Tang dynasty and listen to the orders of the Emperor of the Tang dynasty.
But when all the Turks pledged allegiance, there was one person who stood out. She didn't kneel down, nor did she say that she wanted to surrender. This person was Yang Lizhi.
She still stood at the back.
She just stood there.
Li Jing said in a deep voice, "Yang Lizhi, don't you want to surrender?"
Yang Lizhi was also a little older now. After several years, Yang Lizhi's radiance was no longer there, especially Yang Lizhi herself was old. In addition, Yang Lizhi had been bumping all the way, and she didn't have any makeup on, so her complexion looked yellow and dark. She looked like an old woman. But even so, the expression on Yang Lizhi's face was still solemn and fearless.
Yang Lizhi said lightly, "Li Jing, you were once an official of the Great Sui Dynasty. You betrayed your old master and helped the enemy do evil, helping the Tang dynasty to suppress me. Do you have any shame? "
Li Jing laughed out loud. After laughing, he said coldly, "Yang Lizhi, you are really naive! Or rather, you are too stupid. Do you think that I don't dare to kill you? "
"Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand."
Li Jing looked very indifferent, and his cold eyes were even colder.
Yang Lizhi said, "Of course it's easy for you to kill me. It's normal for you to say that I'm naive. But is there anything wrong with what I've said? The Great Sui Dynasty treated your Li family well and treated you well. But in the end, you betrayed the Great Sui Dynasty. How can you not be a traitor? "
Li Jing frowned when he heard this.
When he was in the Great Sui Dynasty, the officials in the court, including the current Situ Yang Su, favored him greatly.
All of them thought that he had the talent to be the Emperor's assistant.
They praised his reputation.
Therefore, Li Jing became an official early, much faster than ordinary people. Of course, it was normal to say that the Great Sui Dynasty did not mistreat him. However, the Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed and the world was in turmoil. Li Jing was just taking advantage of the situation. It was a little too much to say that Li Jing was a traitor.
Li Jing snorted, but he did not agree with Yang Lizhi's words.
On the other hand, Yang Lizhi chuckled coldly.
She seemed to be mocking Li Jing.
Du Qi, who was sitting below, could not stand it. Yang Lizhi was pestering him endlessly. Li Jing was unwilling to argue, but Du Qi felt that Li Jing was not bad, so he stood up.
Du Qi said calmly, "Princess, I haven't seen you for many years. Your face is full of hardships now, and you are no longer as beautiful as before. This person is ultimately old. Now that she is no longer beautiful, she can only make a scene and pester endlessly. "
"Du Qi, you deserve to die."
When Yang Lizhi saw Du Qi, she was even angrier.
When the thinner enemy met, his eyes turned red.
His younger brother, Yang Shanjing, had led people to deal with Du Qi. After disappearing, he never appeared again. In the past few years, no one had seen him. Obviously, Yang Shanjing had been killed by Du Qi.
Moreover, many of Yang Lizhi's plans were exposed by Du Qi. They were all caused by Du Qi. Such a situation made Yang Lizhi hate Du Qi even more. She hated Du Qi for causing everything today.
"I'll kill you."
Yang Lizhi directly rushed towards Du Qi.
After Du Qi saw this, he did not move at all, nor did he panic at all. In the next moment, when Yang Lizhi rushed in front of Du Qi, Du Qi raised his leg and kicked out.
