Chapter 443: Su Lie's Appointment

When Su Dingfang came to Pyongyang City, it was already dusk, the sunset was molten gold, the twilight clouds were combined, and the Pyongyang City under the sunset looked particularly majestic.

When he came to the city gate, he saw that the gate was about to be slowly closed, Su Dingfang immediately stepped forward and said to the general guarding the city: "I am Su Dingfang, the former lieutenant general of the army under the command of the general commander of the march of Liaodong Road, and I was ordered to conquer Xue Yantuo, and I will return to Pyongyang today to resume my life, and I hope that the general will be accommodating and allow our army to enter the city!" ”

As soon as the general guarding the city heard that this person was Su Dingfang, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the half-closed city gate, and said with a smile: "General Su, don't worry, General Zhang and His Majesty have said that as long as General Su returns, even if it is midnight, we have to open the city gate to welcome General Su!" ”

Su Dingfang couldn't help but be stunned, when did he have such a charm to let His Majesty open the city gate in the middle of the night and let him in.

Just as he was hesitating, the general smiled and said: "General Su, this time you have made the contribution of destroying the country, and Your Majesty has already intended to let you take the position of Anton Protector." Who dares not to give you some face now! ”

Su Ding's expression changed: "This, who said this, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

The general said: "Now the whole city of Pyongyang has been spread!" The last general doesn't know whether it's true or not! Oh, the last general should be damned, he actually delayed General Su for such a long time! General Su, please come in, please come in! ”

Su Dingfang was stunned again for a moment, and finally waved his hand and let his subordinate soldiers ride into the city.

Entering Pyongyang City, Su Dingfang first went to the military camp in the city, wanting to arrange the accommodation of the more than 7,000 soldiers, but found that there was no place to camp in the military camp in the city, so he had to return to the city with his soldiers.

By this time, the sun had completely set, and it was already dark. Su Dingfang thought that when he left the city, he would be hindered, but he didn't expect that when he left the city, it was as smooth as when he entered the city. When the general guarding the city heard Su Dingfang's name, he immediately opened the city gate after verifying his identity.

Finding a camp by a stream outside the city, Su Dingfang wanted to enter Pyongyang again and meet Li Shimin, but when he saw the dark sky, he immediately dispelled this idea, I am afraid that Li Shimin has already rested at this time!

I spent the night in the barracks outside the city.

On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, a man came from outside the camp. When the soldiers on the night patrol saw this man, they did not say a word, and put him into the camp.

The person who came was Zhang Yunwen, he heard that Su Dingfang returned last night, and he wanted to come overnight, but he was afraid of disturbing Su Dingfang's rest, so he came to the military camp outside the city early the next morning.

At this time, Su Dingfang was still resting on the simple marching couch. When Zhang Yunwen opened the curtain and entered the camp, Su Dingfang woke up violently, propped up on the couch with one hand, and held the handle of the knife on the pillow with the other. ”

Su Dingfang put down the horizontal knife in his hand and yawned long: "It turned out to be Yunwen, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "Today is the time for my brother to meet His Majesty, and the younger brother came to talk to my brother first!" ”

Su Dingfang muttered: "What is there to ventilate, but is it just to meet Your Majesty and return the fish talisman?" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly showed a look of hatred for iron and steel: "You, Brother Su, Brother Su, you must know that what you have done this time is to destroy the country, this credit is great, you will at least be made a viscount, as for this official position, the younger brother will recommend you to protect Anton and take charge of the affairs of Liaodong and Goryeo!" ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Yunwen's words, Su Dingfang, who was originally careless and drowsy, woke up suddenly: "What? Anton Duhu, is what the city guard general said true? ”

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Yunwen said affirmatively, "At the beginning, the junior brother agreed with His Majesty, as long as you can destroy Xue Yantuo, this position of Anton Protector will be yours!" Now you really led the troops to chase and kill Bazhuo to Mobei, captured his people, and made Nabazhuo flee alone. Now Xue Yantuo's vitality is greatly damaged, and at the latest, it will be swallowed by other tribes on the grassland in a year at the latest, that is, Xue Yantuo will be destroyed. This position of Anton Protector, of course, is yours! Besides, didn't you ever be a Sima in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? Now that he is protecting this Anton, he is also very familiar with it! ”

Su Dingfang looked at Zhang Yunwen, still in disbelief. After a long time, Su Dingfang asked, "Are you here just to tell me the reward you will receive?" ”

Zhang Yunwen said slightly seriously: "Of course it's more than that!" Later, when you go to see Your Majesty, when Your Majesty gives you a knighthood and official position, someone will definitely stop you, and at this time, it will depend on your performance. If you can talk eloquently in the court and solve the problems faced by Liaodong Goryeo one by one, then you will be the protector of Anton! ”

Su Dingfang glanced at Zhang Yunwen strangely: "I don't know what problems Liaodong Gaoli is facing, and how to answer?" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled and took out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve: "This is the little brother who rushed out overnight, and it is absolutely no problem to deal with those people!" As long as you watch it twice, you are guaranteed to pass the level! ”

"Wait, that's not right!" Su Ding looked at Zhang Yunwen with a strange expression, "Why are you so enthusiastic to help me seek the position of Anton Protector?" There must be something wrong with it! ”

Zhang Yunwen didn't answer at first, but under Su Dingfang's questioning, he finally told what happened.

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's explanation, Su Dingfang couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that you are for this, so you don't want to stay in Liaodong?" Seeing Zhang Yunwen nodding embarrassedly, Su Dingfang sighed lightly, "Okay, then I'll take over the burden you left behind!" But the next time I go back to Chang'an, you're going to invite me to drink!" ”

"No problem, you can drink whatever you want when the time comes!" Zhang Yunwen was overjoyed.

It took half an hour for Su Dingyi to remember almost the contents of the paper. Looking at the time again, it's almost time to see Li Shimin.

Coming to the Goryeo Palace, Su Dingfang, under the leadership of Zhang Yunwen, came to the main hall.

After greetings, Li Shimin asked Su Dingfang to tell him about the war against Xue Yantuo. Su Dingfang didn't dare to refuse, and said it slowly at the moment.

When it was said that the two sides would fight, Li Shimin couldn't help but hold on to the handrail tightly, looking nervous. When talking about the relocation of herders, it is mentioned again. experienced twists and turns, so that everyone couldn't help but sigh.

After Su Dingfang told the story of the war, Li Shimin stood up and announced his reward to Su Dingfang. The gold and silver treasures were each rewarded with a lot, anyway, they were taken out of the Goryeo treasury, and Li Shimin was not distressed. Then, knighthoods and official positions are awarded. As Zhang Yunwen thought, Su Dingfang was really named a viscount and an Andong protector.

As Zhang Yunwen expected, someone really came out to stop him, saying that since Zhang Yunwen is now leading the position of Anton Duhu, why should Su Dingfang take over?

Regarding this question, Li Shimin said lightly: "Zhang Yunwen's appointment as the protector of Anton was originally a temporary move. I've got my own use! ”

Seeing this, these ministers didn't say anything more, but expressed doubts about whether Su Dingfang could take care of this Liaodong Goryeo. Su Dingfang immediately jumped out and said some of the main points of the content that Zhang Yunwen wrote to him.

Seeing that Su Dingfang was talking about this Liaodong Goryeo matter, those ministers who opposed it couldn't find fault with it, so they had to let him go.

After dealing with a series of things, seeing that no one came to play again, Li Shimin was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, but saw Su Dingfang come out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play!" ”

After getting Li Shimin's consent, Su Dingyi told the story of the discovery of the bones of the Sui army on the bank of the Nasa River.

As soon as he finished speaking, he only felt that there was silence in the hall. looked up, but saw Li Shimin looking out the window, in a daze. And the rest of the ministers were also full of sorrow.

"Poor thing!" Li Shimin sighed heavily, "Pity my Han family's millions of sons and daughters, burying their bones in a foreign country!" When I was crusading against Goryeo, I passed through Cangzhou, and the Cangzhou fathers hoped that I would bring the bones of these Han sons back to the Central Plains, and I would capture Goryeo, get carried away, and forget to donate blood. Thanks to Su Aiqing's reminder! As he spoke, the look of amazement on Li Shimin's face gradually faded, and he only heard him say in a deep voice: "Spread my will, so that the garrisons in Goryeo in Liaodong will find the bones of former Sui soldiers, and I will take them back to the Central Plains!" ”
