"This glass of wine, I salute the sacrificed warriors!"

In Liaodong City, Li Shimin, who had just won a big victory, was not carried away by the victory.

At the celebration banquet that night, the first thing to remember was the dead soldiers.

Although in this battle, the Tang army had the advantage and beat the Goguryeo people to the head and bleed.

However, Goguryeo finally had 30,000 elites.

The sword has no eyes, and when the Tang army successfully entered Liaodong City along the pursuing rout, it still ushered in a relatively large resistance.

It took almost an hour to stabilize the situation.

The next step was to count the losses, which turned out to be more than a thousand killed and two thousand wounded.

Although judging from the results, taking Liaodong City with such a small casualty is a very huge victory.

Even in the hundreds of years of history, this is a rare victory.

"When the class teacher returns to the court, I will build a memorial hall in Liaodong City to forever remember the soldiers who died today; However, let's not relax, let's strive to win the entire Liaodong in one go, so that Goguryeo will completely disappear in the long river of history. ”

Li Shimin also knew that he couldn't make the atmosphere of the celebration banquet too sad, so he quickly began to change the topic.

"Your Majesty, the last general requests that he lead an army of 10,000 to continue to advance early tomorrow morning, and take advantage of the opportunity that the Goguryeo people don't know that Liaodong City has been taken by us, and capture as many cities as possible!"

Niu Jinda played very well today, although he was a little sore, his spirit was very good.

"Your Majesty, the most difficult Liaodong City has been taken, and the rest of the matter will be left to our young people."

Cheng Chuliang has always regretted that he did not lead the army to fight alone, and today he won a big victory, and he had the courage to put forward his own requirements with Li Shimin.

"That's right! It's enough for me and Zhu Liang to lead the troops and set off! Guarantee to hit Pyongyang City within a month and directly meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu! ”

Qin Shandao is not stupid, seeing that Cheng Chuliang has stood up, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to lead the troops.

Anyway, to the east of Liaodong City, within a radius of 100 miles, there is no decent big city at all.

Once the Tang Army appears in these places, there is a high probability that something will come out.

Just as the generals were rushing to lead the troops to attack the city, a hundred horsemen entered the temple.

"Your Majesty, there is news from His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Thanks to the extensive use of carrier pigeons, the message communication between the two armies of Datang is quite convenient.

Although it is impossible to get it with a phone call like in later generations, it can still be contacted in a few days.

"Quick! Show me, there must be new progress on the side of Pyongyang. ”

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Zhong next to him naturally stepped forward to take the note, and handed it to Li Shimin with an expectant face.

And the soldiers in the palace are also looking forward to it.

"Huh?"

As soon as Li Shimin unfolded the note, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

As a result, the surrounding generals immediately became itchy in their hearts.

What happened to His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

Why is Your Majesty so surprised?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

"Mao Gong, take a look too!"

After struggling for a while, Li Shimin handed the note to Li Ji, who was closest to him.

"Your Majesty, under the heroic battle of all the soldiers, the city of Pyongyang has been captured, but Yuangai Suwen is nowhere to be found......"

There are not many words in the note, and the specific content of the siege operation is not said, but one who takes Pyongyang City is more surprising than anything else.

Although Li Kuan was appointed as the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, he only had about 20,000 men on his hands, some of whom were sailors of ships, and there was no way to land and fight.

And Pyongyang City, as the capital of Goguryeo, will not be worse than Liaodong City at all, and the defenders will not be less.

Now it was so easily broken by His Royal Highness the King of Chu!!

This news, a bit fake, right?

However, His Royal Highness the King of Chu should not be so stupid and definitely dare not lie about such a big thing.

So what's going on?

Li Ji is also entangled!

"I'll see!"

Niu Jinda on the side couldn't help it, and reached out to snatch the note from Li Ji's hand.

"Huh? Haha~" Niu Jinda glanced at it and immediately laughed, "Your Majesty, it's a good thing!" That's a good thing! We captured Liaodong City today, and we received the news that His Royal Highness the King of Chu captured Pyongyang City, which is a good thing! ”

According to my speculation, although His Royal Highness the King of Chu captured Pyongyang City, he basically lost the strength to fight further, and the soldiers under the command of the General Manager of the Pyongyang Road March must have suffered heavy casualties, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not even dare to mention it; So it's hard to say whether the city of Pyongyang has been captured and whether it is worth celebrating. ”

Li Ji's worry is actually Li Shimin's worry.

Although Li Kuan has always been able to surprise everyone, he has so many soldiers and horses, and the number of troops who can really fight is definitely not more than 20,000.

The most important thing is that the 20,000 people are still infantry, and there are not a few horses to be found except for the mounts of the generals.

With less than 20,000 infantry, against a larger number of Goguryeo cavalry, no matter how powerful Li Kuan is, it will be difficult to fight, right?

Although the news received now, Li Kuan did not disappoint everyone, and took Pyongyang City with so many troops.

But the price behind it is definitely very heavy!

Li Shimin is also convinced of this.

"Maybe it was that Yuangai Suwen who did something perverse and provoked public anger, and the soldiers of Pyongyang City should cooperate with the outside and surrender on their own initiative......"

Niu Jinda's voice slowly became lower and lower.

Even he didn't believe it.

Goguryeo is also a big country, with a population of millions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the dignified capital will surrender without a fight?

How could it be!

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that one day of repairing the army in Liaodong City is enough, and there is no need to stay too long. Now His Royal Highness the King of Chu has no troops available, although the city of Pyongyang has been taken, but it may be lost again at any time; We should capture the other cities in Liaodong as soon as possible, and rush to Pyongyang City to rescue His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Otherwise, taking Pyongyang City would make the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fall into the threat of Goguryeo. ”

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Li Ji also formally put forward his own proposal at this time.

Although Li Kuan's relationship with him was ordinary, if one of the princes of the Tang Dynasty was lost in Pyongyang, then the other victories would be overshadowed.

That's not what he wants!

"Your Majesty, the last general requests to lead three thousand elites and go straight to Pyongyang City to solve the urgent needs of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Cheng Chuliang on the side also felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and his heart began to get nervous.

His brother-in-law is actually in danger?
