Chapter 21: Arrival
Chapter 21 Arrival
Li Shen is really afraid, the so-called generals will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, he is really worried that Li Ji will launch a campaign against Goryeo again, it doesn't matter if he wins, the most is to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers, but once he fails, this consequence must be borne by him, he can't afford to gamble.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Shen got up from the simple Hu bed, and after washing up, he summoned Su Dingfang and others.
"I've seen the big handsome."
Li Shen shook his hand and said, "I thought about it all night last night, and I must rush to Beisha City as soon as possible, and the army is temporarily in charge of Su Dingfang. ”
"Dashuai." Su Dingfang shouted.
"Speed up the march, Ben Shuai is one step ahead."
Li Shen paused, and then said to Su Dingfang: "There is a batch of ore and sulfur in the Dingzhou military camp, so please trouble General Su to bring it to Beisha City." ”
"Handsome ......"
"No need to say any more." Li Shen said lightly, and also knew that Su Dingfang was worried about his safety along the way, after all, the road was extremely desolate, and it would be dangerous for a Goryeo army of thousands of people to escape.
Li Shen he doesn't have to worry, no matter how many people want to catch him, it is impossible for him to catch him, when he encounters a threat to his life, he can immediately return to the modern era, after all, he can almost understand the beads in his hand, as long as he pays all his attention to the beads, it will give him a feeling that time is disappearing quickly.
"Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, the two of you are with Ben Shuai."
"Dashuai, the last general will also be with you." Li Chongyi hurriedly stood up and said, then ran to Li Shen's side, squatted down, and whispered with a pleading face: "Brother, just let me follow you, okay?" ”
Looking at Li Shen's cold eyes, he pouted and stood up helplessly.
They are all guards in captivity at the family of the gentlemen, although they can't fight ten with one, but they are also absolute masters, more than 1,000 people spent four days on horseback, and finally arrived at the city of Beisha City, and from a distance, you can see the banner of Tang characters floating on the city wall, and a team of soldiers guarding the city wall.
"Who are you waiting for?" The soldiers on the city wall asked loudly with bows and arrows at Li Shen and his party.
"Woohoo~~~"
Cheng Chumo pulled the reins of the horse, took out the token from his waist, and shouted loudly: "I am Cheng Chumo, the captain of Zhaowu, let the British Duke come out and see him." ”
"Wait a minute." The young general on the city wall shouted loudly.
Li Shen looked at the land covered with dark red marks, and the air was still filled with a faint smell of strange blood, and even many parts of the city wall changed color.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw Li Ji in armor standing on the city wall.
"The little nephew Cheng has met the British duke."
"Hahaha~~ It turned out to be Tie Niu, you kid." Li Ji shouted with a smile, and then said to the young general next to him: "Don't hurry up and put down the suspension bridge." Looking at Li Shen beside Cheng Chumo, he arched his hand and said lightly: "I've seen the big handsome." ”
Li Shen nodded slightly.
Under the leadership of Li Ji, he rushed directly into the military tent.
Stepping into the military tent, Li Shen untied the cloak behind him, untied the sword tied to his waist, walked to the main position in the middle, sat down, and looked at the generals who walked in one after another with a cold face.
"The last general has seen the big handsome."
Li Shen nodded and said lightly, "Sit down." ”
Li Shen looked at Li Ji, who was a little hanging, sneered, and asked lightly: "British duke, it seems that this marshal wrote two letters to you before leaving, why do you still make decisions on your own?" Attacking the city of Beisha? ”
"Don't miss the opportunity, don't you know?" Li Ji said lightly.
"Don't miss the opportunity? Ben Shuai asks you, what kind of punishment is disobeying military orders? Li Shen asked coldly.
"This matter has already been told to Your Majesty, and there will be a ...... Your Majesty"
"The British Duke is also a veteran in the army, so he won't even ask me, a junior, to tell you such a simple truth, right?" Li Shen interrupted him and said lightly.
"You ......"
"Okay, okay, it's just a little thing, don't hurt the harmony, in general, it is better to take this Beisha City smoothly, and it only costs such a small price." Niu Jinda interrupted Li Ji's words with a smile and said.
"What does General Niu mean, is this Shuai making a big fuss? A new official has taken office three fires? Li Shen asked lightly, looking at the deflated Niu Jinda, and then said: "Three thousand people, maybe in your eyes, the occupation of Beisha City is indeed a big victory, but in the eyes of this handsome, it is not counted, but a complete failure, a small city, but it cost me the lives of 3,000 good men of the Tang Dynasty?" It is also officially your own decision, and these people will be innocently buried. ”
"It's really a mouthful, you are a person who has never been on the battlefield......"
Looking at Li Ji, who was full of face, Li Shen smiled, interrupted his words, and said lightly: "Open your mouth? Do you think it's necessary for Ben Shuai to say something like that? ”
Then he stared at Li Ji and said coldly: "Ben Shuai said before he set out on the expedition that Ben Shuai is in charge of everything in this expedition to Goryeo, and Ben Shuai will bear any consequences alone?" The British public should know what kind of consequences this commander will bear? ”
Li Shen looked at Li Ji, and continued: "You also know the situation in the central court of the British Duke, although you uncles are on the side of Ben Shuai, but once this expedition against Goryeo fails, what kind of consequences do you think I will be?" ”
A slap to a sweet date, although Li Shen's slap was not too loud, but it also lost Li Ji's face, and then the tone of the conversation changed, turning his identity into a junior, which can be regarded as giving Li Ji a step, after all, he has no prestige in the army now.
If it is really stiff, I am afraid that he will not even be able to transfer troops, and the consequences will not be borne by him at that time.
Seeing that Li Ji's face recovered, Li Shen exhaled, stretched out his hand and waved at the others, and only Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Niu Jinda and Li Ji were left in the entire big tent.
"Uncle Li, and Uncle Niu, please forgive the little nephew for his previous rudeness."
Li Ji smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his beard, and said, "The handsome man is polite, it was the old man who made the decision without authorization, no wonder the handsome." ”
Niu Jinda smiled slightly and nodded to Li Shen.
Li Shen smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't blame the little nephew for being annoyed, now this expedition to Goryeo is ...... for the little nephew."
"This old man knows." Li Ji said.
Li Shen nodded and said, "It's good to know, although my father asked me to listen to your opinions more, but this time Uncle Li's attack on Beisha City completely disrupted my original plan." And the sacrifice of more than 3,000 soldiers' lives, for your long-term war, and it is also a siege war, it is indeed a great victory. ”
