Chapter 25: The class teacher returns to the dynasty
"Master Hou, over there in Anshi City, Your Majesty has decided to return to the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Chang Le walked into Xuan Shijing's camp and came to Xuan Shijing's side and said.
"Oh? Your Majesty, can you say that Liaodong has let someone take over here? Xuan Shijing asked.
The Tang army conquered so many cities in Liaodong, and it was definitely not possible to leave these cities to Goguryeo after the army left.
"It's decided, Gao Jifu and Yang Shidao are two adults, and Jian'an City will continue to be the base of the naval army in Liaodong, the land of Sanhan." Chang Le said: "Your Majesty knows that Master Hou is filling the mud swamp here, and he still praises you, it must be much easier for the army to pass through Liaoshui when returning to the court." ā
"The weather has been relatively warm these days, has the river beach melted?"
"The top layer has signs of melting, digging some down, and it's still frozen, and it snowed two days ago, and the snow water is accumulating on the surface."
"Looking at it this way, I have to let the people below start digging and burying it." Xuan Shijing got up, walked to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and looked outside: "Now the sun outside is good, tell me to go down, dig the soil and fill the river, if the army sets off to return to the court, it will be able to walk to the Liaoshui in less than half a month." ā
"Yes, Master Hou." Xuan Shijing responded.
There was another batch of surrendered troops in the city of Anshi, after the city of Anshi was beaten in by the Tang army, Yang Wanchun killed himself in the city lord's mansion, leaving a large group of overwhelmed Goguryeo soldiers, the soldiers in the city were all in chaos without a leader for a while, Li Ji took the men and horses in the city for a while, and when His Majesty Li Er led the troops into the city, there was little left of the Goguryeo defenders in the city, and he hurriedly ordered Li Ji that the defenders in the city would not kill anyone who surrendered.
Li Ji's action made Xuan Shijing impressed with him, the Central Plains land is always too gentle for foreigners, throughout history, resulting in the Han people like leeks, harvested by foreign races one after another, what is missing is an iron-blooded general like Li Ji, who slaughters the city if he doesn't agree with him, even if the Central Plains Dynasty is very strong now, but as long as Yang Fengyin is disobedient, then it will be cleaned up ruthlessly.
Only by crippling them and killing them will they be as docile as sheep and as loyal as dogs.
Next, just wait quietly on the bank of the Liaoshui River to follow the army back to Chang'an, after coming out for so long, I really miss home.
"Master Hou, this is the scout sent out." Chang Le walked in from outside, holding a few envelopes in his hands.
"Send it over."
Xuan Shijing opened the envelope and looked at them carefully.
"Wallgrass!" Xuan Shijing scolded with a smile.
"Master Hou, why are you smiling so happily?" Chang Le looked at Xuan Shijing's smile on his face, and always felt that his Hou Ye was smiling a little ...... Wretched.
"Oh, it's Baekje, after Anshi City was taken by our Tang Dynasty, those Baekje people also knew that they were afraid, and broke off relations with Quangai Suwen, and re-sent envoys to Silla to want peace talks, on the other hand, they sent an envoy to Chang'an, wanting to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and then meet His Majesty after His Majesty returned to the court." Xuan Shijing said disdainfully: "That's it, it's not what the wall grass is." ā
"Well, this is a good thing for Silla, if it weren't for our Datang, I'm afraid Silla would be in danger now." Chang Le said.
"Do you think that Baekje has captured the city of Silla and can return it so easily, according to you, are you willing?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said: Look at it, it's strange that Silla is not vomiting blood by Baekje this time. ā
According to Baekje's shameless appearance, the occupied cities of Silla have long been looted, and Silla exchanged the cities from Baekje, and found that the cities that were exchanged were just empty shells, and there were a lot of messes.
After all, the people in the city are all Silla people, and they can't leave their lives alone, they have to give people a bite to eat, so many mouths to eat, Silla is afraid that it will not be able to slow down for a few years.
Goguryeo is not much better, now in Goguryeo, there is famine everywhere, and such a large area of Liaodong has been lost, presumably now the people in Goguryeo have already complained about the ruling of Quangae Suwen.
As Xuan Shijing expected, the army arrived at the bank of the Liaoshui River in less than half a month, and at this time, the quagmire of the shoals had been filled by Xuan Shijing with 10,000 Goguryeo troops.
Xuan Shijing also returned to the army with the team, and has begun to return, Xuan Shijing can now be said to be like an arrow, but whether it is an officer or a soldier in the army, he can't stay away from the army without authorization, Xuan Shijing can only follow the army to slowly and leisurely rush back, at this speed, to Chang'an, it will take two and a half months.
The march was very boring, and the only thing that made Xuan Shijing a little relieved was that the eldest grandson Chong fell ill.
What kind of disease, the imperial doctor can't find out anyway, the current eldest grandson Chong has been lying in the carriage, fever, weakness, and the whole person is very weak.
If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, who will be spared by the sky, there was a good competition in the officialdom, and Xuan Shijing also accompanied him, even if he lost, his skills were not as good as others, but he did his hands and feet in medicine, and his uncle could bear it, but he couldn't bear it.
The medicine was prepared by Qin Bingyue, and when Yan Lailou was still in Li Yuanjing's hands, the Tao behind it was also indispensable, Qin Bingyue knew a lot about these things, and it was no problem to let the eldest grandson Chong suffer a little.
Now that Changsun Chong is already like this, when he returns to Chang'an, he will not lose half his life.
On the way to the march, there was an ox cart transporting supplies, Xuan Shijing lazily leaned on the sack behind the ox cart, wrapped in a big coat, basking in the sun, Chang Le and Shi Hu followed Xuan Shijing next to the ox cart, and Qin Bingyue followed behind the ox cart with two brocade guards.
The two hundred soldiers still had sandbags on their legs, but they were different from when they came, and half of them were still carrying the ashes of their former robes.
"Ice Moon." Xuan Shijing leaned on the car and looked at Qin Bingyue and asked, "Eldest Sun Chong's body should be able to hold on to Chang'an." ā
Qin Bingyue nodded: "Yes." ā
When Xuan Shijing was about to say something, he saw Chang Le winking at him, and Xuan Shijing looked back and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was riding a horse towards him.
When the eldest grandson Wuji arrived next to Xuan Shijing's ox cart, he turned the horse's head, approached the ox cart, followed the ox cart, and glanced at Chang Le.
Chang Le looked at Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing nodded.
After receiving Xuan Shijing's signal, Chang Le reined in the horse's reins, stayed away from the ox cart, and gave way to the eldest grandson Wuji, while he followed Qin Bingyue's side.
