Chapter 158: The Sui Army is defeated
After Li Shimin woke up the next day, Fan Shixing came to report that Yu Wenshi had come to visit and was waiting in the side hall of the front yard.
Li Shimin was surprised when he heard this, because he was tired, he got up late today, and he didn't wake up until noon. But this one came too quickly, didn't he? He only told Fan Shixing yesterday that he wanted him to inform Yu Wenshi and recover from his injuries.
But since the person has come, then he must come forward to see him, Li Shimin tidied up and came to the side hall of the front yard. Then Yu Wenshi sat down at the guest seat, drinking tea, while crossing Erlang's legs, with a look of impatience.
It wasn't until he saw Li Shimin's arrival that Yu Wenshi's expression perked up, and he looked over with some concern: "Pilusha, didn't you say that you were injured before, and you would be able to recover in five or six days at most? Why did you suddenly become seriously injured and bedridden for more than half a month?"
Facing Yu Wenshi and the unpretentious gaze, Li Shimin's heart suddenly rose a little guilty, but then he hardened his heart coldly, and said in a calm voice: "Let Renren worry you, I am indeed in a bad state these days." But it's not so much a serious injury, but it's actually more of a heart disease. My third brother was attacked and killed, and his heart, liver and backbone were robbed, but my father reacted like that. I couldn't get angry for a while, so it involved internal injuries. β
He discovered that he had a talent for lying, and now he could keep his face open to his best friend.
"I'm guessing so!"
Yu Wenshi first let out a long breath of turbidity, and then smiled bitterly: "I think that with your temperament of Vilusha, once you recover from your injury, you will definitely be desperate to avenge San Lang." Now that he is trapped in the Tang State Mansion and does not see any movement, he must be really seriously injured. But in fact, this time, you really can't blame Tang Guogong, Ling Zun gave up halfway, in fact, he had other troubles. β
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the past with a knife-like gaze: "It seems that Renren, you seem to know a lot about this?
"I can only say that I know a little bit and see the tip of the iceberg. β
Yu Wenshi smiled bitterly: "So after learning some clues half a month ago, I hurried here. But as a result, you were seriously ill, and I returned in vain. However, in the past ten days, I have become more and more sure that you will definitely not get involved. β
When he said this, he glanced at Li Shimin deeply, only to see that the latter's expression was calm and unwavering, and he was clearly unimpressed. Yu Wenshi couldn't help but sigh slightly, and continued to increase his tone: "If the consequences of the investigation are just a dead thing, it must not be enough for Erlang to be afraid, but if I tell you that if you get involved rashly, you may implicate the family?"
Li Shimin was finally moved, and his voice cooled below freezing: "What are the details? It is impossible for me to give up just a few empty words?"
"If you can cover your wisdom, why do you need me to speak thoroughly?"
Yu Wenshi and Ben wanted to stop here, but when he saw Li Shimin's fierce gaze like a tiger and a wolf, he still couldn't resist it after all, and said with a slight cold sweat on his face: "It's nothing more than someone who has undeserved ambitions and colludes with the forces of the rivers and lakes." In addition, there are those rebels, who somehow also participated. The attack on you should be the result of the combined efforts of many parties. β
When he said this, he hesitated and said, "Don't blame Your Highness for this matter." Now Her Royal Highness the Queen, in fact, I don't know the details, but you were attacked outside Tongguan, and it was the so-called by those traitors-"
Before Ke Yu's words fell, Li Shimin asked coldly: "Is it related to Yang Xuan, the king of Qi?"
Yu Wenshi was stunned at first, and then there was a bitterness in his heart.
He knew that with Li Shimin's wisdom, even if he only revealed a hint of his tone, he might be guessed by this guy.
But Li Shimin's words, he answered in a positive way, Yu Wenshi turned his head sideways, and did not dare to meet his friend's gaze: "The battle for unification is dangerous and abnormal. The ministers in the Kaihuang period were convicted because of this, and even those who died and were wiped out, I don't know how many, even characters like Gao Gong and Shi Wanzai were not spared. Your family is a high-ranking family in the world, hereditary reckless, rich and extensive, so why should you be involved in this mess?"
But Li Shimin didn't pay attention to it at all, he looked out of the door with a stupid gaze, and was in a trance.
He hadn't planned to get the news from Yu Wenshi and here, but today's question is just a try. But I didn't expect that there was really something to gain.
- can make the embroidered guards fearful, and let Hou Shi'an come forward to negotiate with his father, this person must be from the heavenly family.
And if there is an ambition that 'should not be had', it is not more than the throne. But today, if the heirs are thin, there are only a few people who have the hope of winning the throne.
That Han King Yang Xuan, before the Doufu incident, could barely be counted as one. But now the most promising is the second son of the Son of Heaven, King Yang of Qi.
After the death of the crown prince, King Qi, regardless of his prestige or fame, is very hopeful that he will squeeze out a few nephews and reach the top of the throne.
It turns out that this person is one of the real murderers behind the scenes?
But Li Shimin couldn't understand what was the intention of attacking them? It was impossible for Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, to be interested in Li Xuanba's heart, liver, and backbone.
Thinking of this, the hatred in Li Shimin's chest became more and more intense. He can't wait to find out, so that all the murderers who killed Li Xuanba deserve it!
At this moment, Yu Wenshi interrupted his thoughts again: "By the way, I came to look for you, and I have one more thing to tell." β
After saying this, he was silent again, and began to shake his head, scanning the hall with a vigilant gaze, until he was sure that there was no possibility of being overheard, and then he whispered in a true yuan: "I received a news here, saying that there was a change in Liaodong, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army was defeated in Goguryeo, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost!"
When Li Shimin heard this, a chill suddenly grew in his heart, and his eyes looked at Yu Wenshi again: "Liaodong was defeated? What is going on? It's not winter yet!"
At this time, it is the time of high autumn air, the road is smooth, and the supply is worry-free. He originally expected that as long as the battle of the Eastern Crusade was not delayed until the beginning of winter, there would be no possibility of losing on the Liaodong side.
And with the wisdom of the Son of Heaven and many famous generals in Liaodong, they will never let this war drag on until winter
"I don't know, and I'm not sure, but I heard that half a month ago, that Goguryeo broke our army on the bank of Sashui. After that, he pursued with his tail in pursuit, and in one day and night, he captured and killed nearly 300,000 soldiers of our Great Sui. But I inquired from formal channels, but I found nothing, and the news of Liaodong has been blocked. β
Yu Wenshi's face was gloomy, and his face was sad: "But since it has reached the point where it is necessary to block the news, then this result must be eight or nine." β
Yu Wenshi and what he was most worried about at this time was his father Yu Wenshu.
It was not that he was worried about the safety of Yuwenshu's life, he believed that with his father's skills, no one in Goguryeo could take his life. The real Yu Wenshi and Jean were worried about this unexpected defeat.
His father is not only General Zuo Yiwei, but also the closest general before His Majesty the Son of Heaven.
According to the news he received two months ago, at this time, the Son of Heaven was personally supervising the army to attack Liaodong City, and worshiped his father Yuwenshu as the head of the Liaodong march, and governed the Ninth Army, with the left Yiwei headquarters out of Fuyu Road, the right Yiwei general Yu Zhongwen out of Lelang Road, the left Xiaowei general Jing Yuanheng out of Liaodong Road, the right Yiwei general Xue Shixiong out of Wofu Road, the right Tunwei general Xin Shixiong out of Xuansu Road, the right imperial guard general Zhang Jin out of Xiangping Road, the right military general Zhao Xiaocai out of Jieshi Road, Zhuojun Taishou inspection school left Wuwei general Cui Hongsheng out of Suicheng Road, the right imperial guard Hu Benlang general Wei Wensheng out of the Zengdi Road, attacking the west of the Yalu Riverγ
And this battle of Liaodong, if it is really defeated as rumored, his father, and even the entire Yuwen family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the relationship.
When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately furious, Yuwenshu and Lai Hu'er were both famous generals in the world, and their art of war was extraordinary, but how could they not be able to do so in this battle of Liaodong? The loss of the elite of the 30 armies and the humiliation of the country is simply appalling, and there has never been such a great defeat since the opening of the dynasty!
At this time, he was not only heartbroken by the situation of 300,000 Great Sui elites buried in a foreign country, but also ashamed and indignant about it, the Great Sui was a great country in the Celestial Empire, and now it was defeated by a small country!
Then Li Shimin felt the cold all over his body, his hands and feet were cold, and he already felt a cold wave that was coming inside and outside the court of the Great Sui.
Now he only hopes that the news of Yu Wenshi is really just a nonsense rumor.

At the same moment, on the east bank of the Yalu River in Liaodong, Yuan Taizuo stood on horseback, full of ambition and indifferent eyes, looking at the remnants of the Great Sui who were running rampantly across the river.
"The so-called elite of the Great Sui seems to be nothing more than that! When the situation is not as good as people, the same wolves rush to the pigs, and the same head rats are infested! Come to someone, send an order to the black tooth Que Nan, Ming Linchang's department, let them cross the river immediately and pursue!"
"Lord Mo Lizhi, do you want to pursue it now?
Standing side by side with Yuan Taizuo was Goguryeo's great pei Eulzhi Wendeok, who was tilting his head sideways and looking at the Mo Lizhi on his side.
The so-called Dapei was an official who helped the king handle state affairs in Goguryeo, and stood side by side with Da Zheng Lu, which was equivalent to the prime minister on the left and right.
And Mo Lizhi is also an official position in Goguryeo, and his power is still above that of the Great Pair Lu and Dapei, and he has great power and one body in the court, such as Wei Wu of the Han people, who is the prime minister and the king of Wei plus Jiuxi, and is on the princes and kings.
And in this battle of the Imperial Sui, the 400,000 troops of Goguryeo were presided over by this Mo Lizhi.
"In the opinion of the lower officials, the army on the opposite side is still tightly organized, and it is lined up along the river, occupying a favorable position. Although its main general, Wang Rengong, was not well-known in the Sui army, he also fought with Yang Su in his early years, and he was a veteran and should not be taken lightly. Don't be careless!"
