Li Shimin couldn't help but be speechless, and only then did he remember that the army of the Nine Divisions under Yuwenshu was going south, which was too unreasonable.

If Liaodong City is not solved, it will be impossible to open up the supply channel on the road. These soldiers who went south had to pay for the food, grass and supplies needed by the army.

This was most likely the last resort of the Son of Heaven, who wanted to directly attack Goguryeo's native royal city and force the latter to land. But although this plan is good, it overestimates the ability of the officers and men in the army to endure.

- The grain and grass needed for 100 days, as well as ink armor, ink stones, knives, guns, clothing, military equipment, fire curtains, etc., this is inevitably too much.

This means that in addition to the part of the carriage and horse, each soldier also needs to bear at least 200 catties of weight and walk several steps on foot.

This is unbearable, even in a state of high morale in the army.

"General Zuo Yiwei is a famous general in the world, and since he knows that it is inappropriate, he should admonish the Son of Heaven. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself, even if the admonition failed, when he knew that there was not enough food and grass in the army, he should evacuate directly.

However, as soon as he asked this sentence, he knew that it was inappropriate. Fortunately, Yu Wenshi and his offensive words did not care: "He also persuaded him, but it is a pity that even if Your Majesty has been repeatedly frustrated under Goguryeo, he has never eliminated his contempt for this country." If my father had led the army alone, he would not have suffered such a defeat. can be on the battlefield in the court, let alone involuntarily. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, the corners of his lips were cold, thinking that Yu Wenshu, as the commander of the Ninth Army, could get away with such a big defeat, but it was Yu Zhongwen, the deputy commander who ruled the left wing, who was taken away by the Son of Heaven - this skill is really admirable, and he doesn't know how to evaluate it. As the lackey of the Son of Heaven, this general Zuo Yiwei faithfully fulfilled the intention of the Son of Heaven, and as the head of the Yuwen family, he successfully avoided this crisis. Only the 300,000 troops died in a foreign land. And the battle of the Son of Heaven to attack Liao was defeated, and he died in a foreign land.

But because of his scruples about his friendship with Yu Wenshi, he could only slander these words in his stomach.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked: "It is impossible for the 300,000 people trapped in Liaodong to die completely?

This time, Yu Wenshi and his qi were slightly sluggish, and only after a while did he sigh softly under the gaze of Li Shimin and the others.

"At that time, His Majesty the Son of Heaven actually discussed this matter. Some people say that they need to spend money to ransom people, some people say that they still need to force each other to die, so that Goguryeo can take the initiative to hand over the prisoners of war, but my father is more inclined to send troops again next year, and after the Liaodong is swept away, those captured soldiers will naturally be free. But no one thought that Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo would be so crazy-"

Speaking of this, Yu Wenshiji's voice had become hoarse and heavy: "Goguryeo collected the corpses of all the dead soldiers of my Great Sui, and killed 50,000 prisoners of war by the Yalu River, and built three Jingguan near Liaodong. ”

Li Shimin and Yu Wenshi were all shocked, and they looked at each other for a while. After that, the eyes of the two of them also welled up with anger.

-- Goguryeo, which is just a small country, dared to go against the grain and go crazy to this point! Not only did he build the corpses of the Great Sui soldiers into a Jingguan, but he also dared to kill the prisoners of war!

This kind of animal trip can only be found in the era of Wuhu Chaohua. It's just appalling, and people and gods are outraged!

At this time, Li Shimin was eager to personally raise an army of 100,000 and flatten Goguryeo in one fell swoop, so as to vent the hatred in his chest!

But then he laughed at himself again, and looked at the white linen he was wearing.

Now he is helpless even about the blood feud of his third brother, and he still has the heart to pay attention to the war in Liaodong, how ridiculous is this?

※ ※ ※ ※

Soon after Li Xuanba's funeral, the news of the defeat of Liaodong had spread in the capital.

The Liaodong front, after all, has an army of one million, and there are more than two million people, each with countless family members, and the sons and daughters of the nobles serve in the army, and there are many people.

Therefore, even if the DPRK and China try their best to blockade it, they will not be able to block it.

It's just that in this capital, there are still few people who can be as well-informed as Yu Wenshi. There are very few people who really know the details of the battle in Liaodong. So in this Luoyang City, rumors are flying all over the sky again. Under the instigation of some well-intentioned people, there are even legends that the Son of Heaven has died under Liaodong City.

Li Shimin ignored these movements in Beijing and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

And just ten days later, Fan Shixing finally found a house for him that satisfied him. This was originally a prisoner's mansion copied from Dali Temple, transferred to the inner government for sale, and was deposited by Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu, and the full amount has not been paid.

But now there is news from Liaodong. This Liu Shilong colluded with Goguryeo and leaked the military aircraft of the army, and some of them have been punished by the five horses and the corpses, and the head of the army, his people are not spared, and the Son of Heaven has issued an order to raze his three tribes.

So this house was vacant again, and the price was unbelievably cheap, only less than 100,000 yuan, less than one-tenth of the nearby house price.

It is said that because of this, before Liu Shilong, there were three owners. But without exception, they all ended miserably, or dismissed, or exiled, and they were already notorious. It was once listed in the inner government for three months, but no one cared about it.

As a result, the fourth owner of this mansion, before he could really buy it, had already suffered the punishment of splitting the corpse of five horses and destroying the family, and his famous murderous name naturally went to a higher level.

Li Shimin was full of joy and went to this mansion to see. This house is in Jingshanfang, not far from the Tang Guogong Mansion, there is only one royal road, separated by two walls. The area is also vast enough, 1,100 steps from north to south and 700 steps from east to west, which has already met Li Shimin's requirements.

In addition, this house is built near the river, and the wall that was originally built at the back has been demolished by the first generation of owners in front of it, and until now, it has not been repaired by the Henan government.

This means that this house not only has beautiful scenery and a wide view, but also has a lot of space beyond itself. Li Shimin didn't even need to deliberately renovate this house, he only needed to level out the garden in the west courtyard and arrange a silenced magic circle to get a shooting range that satisfied him.

Just because to the west of this place, there is a thick wall, and beyond the wall, there is a wide ditch, and then the royal road. Whether he is practicing archery or studying the 'Divine Blood Demon Vein' here, he doesn't have to worry about alarming others.

So the next day, Li Shimin paid the full amount, and then asked Weiwei Temple to send the divine blood and demon vein to the mansion. Of course, it also included the all-metal room, as well as the Forbidden Array - without these things, the mansion he bought would have been directly shattered by this god-level demon furnace.

Li Shimin personally dug a pit here and buried this metal room, along with the 'Divine Blood Demon Vein'.

It's just that before he could start researching, there was another good news from Fan Shixing's side.

So that night, Li Shimin sneaked out of the Tang Mansion again and went to Dongcheng.

At this time, the two-month period had arrived, and Li Yuan had already lifted his grounding. But the reason why Li Shimin is so sneaky is because he doesn't want his whereabouts this time to be discovered by others.

This time, he went straight out of the city through the water gate to the east, and after a while, he came to a ruined temple.

And just when he approached the door less than twenty steps, suddenly a white Lian-like brilliance shuttled from the temple gate and nailed in front of Li Shimin.

"Come on, please come back! Hidden people have no interest in meeting someone. ”

Li Shimin's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and then he put away his spiritual skills, lifted the ink armor, and calmly continued to walk. This time, he did not encounter any obstacles, and before he entered the temple gate, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties with a capable face who was sweeping over with a bright gaze.

When this person saw Li Shimin's face clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Excellency's age seems to be less than sixteen, and it is really unexpected that you are already a third-grade cultivator. I don't know which Jiangmen in Kansai was born? It seems that such a heroic figure under his feet is the Three Kingdoms and Wuhu eras, which must be rare. ”

At the time of the Three Kingdoms and the Five Hu Chaos, although the world was in turmoil, there were also many heroes, which is far from being comparable to the current era of withering heroes.

Li Shimin was slightly settled in his heart, and he had a little more confidence in his five-round divine qi technique.

The reason why this person on the other side saw that he had a 'three-grade' cultivation was because he had not yet been able to fully control and restrain his true yuan.

After waiting for more than ten days, his body of qi and blood has precipitated, and most of the other side will not be visible.

"Under Li Shimin, he was born in the martial arts Li family. ”

Li Shimin clenched his fists, and then got straight to the point: "This time, I came here to hire Mr. Luo to serve as Li's personal worship." ”

"Hire?"

The middle-aged man laughed, and his eyes showed an incredible look: "You should have heard of my reputation as Luo Li! It's not cheap to hire Luo." ”

"Before I came down, I naturally inquired about everything about Mr. Before Mr. Luo was sixteen years old, he was the little leader of horse thieves in the Western Regions, because his brother was unhappy, and he was angry with the leader. After the deed was completed, he fled and traveled the world for three years, and then by chance, he became the pro-army brigade commander of He Ruobi, the general of the right military candidate. Since the death of General Youwuhou five years ago, Mr. Luo has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since then, and his whereabouts are uncertain. But there are also rumors in the rivers and lakes that in recent years, Mr. He has made a living by killing people, and he has achieved remarkable results with his masterful archery skills. There is also a legend that in the black list, the top three 'faceless arrows' are actually Mr. He. ”

Li Shimin's expression was calm: "Li wants to hire Mr. for at least 20 years, and Mr. Luo can open any conditions." ”

When Luo Li heard this, he was shocked, and stared at Li Shimin up and down again.
