Chapter 300 Chapter 45 The Great Army Sets Out
Gao Ming incarnated as a "barbarian", giving a vivid "diplomatic lesson" to the ministers, and at the same time leaving a deep impression on everyone.
"This guy is still as hard to mess with as before!"
With this in mind, after Su Jian fainted, everyone else remained silent.
Seeing that no one was talking, Li Shimin immediately sighed.
"Alas, since you Aiqing have nothing to say, then retreat from the dynasty, Liu Bing, after the dynasty is dispersed, you find two people to send Su Aiqing to the Shang Pharmacy."
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Liu Bing hurriedly agreed, and then shouted loudly.
"Retreat!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
In the shouts of the ministers, Li Shimin also got up and left, and glared at Gao Ming fiercely when he left, which made Gao Ming a little inexplicable.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Gao Ming found that there was something wrong with the eyes of the ministers around him looking at him, and there was a trace of admiration and fear in their eyes, and that expression was like seeing a peerless ruthless person, which made Gao Ming even more confused.
"Why does everyone see me like this? When I got Hou Junji, they didn't seem to be so surprised, right? Could it be that Su Ji is better than Hou Junji? ”
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately touched his chin, and then smacked his mouth twice.
"Tsk...... The name Su Ji seems a little familiar......"
Gao Ming recalled it, but he couldn't think of anything.
Since he couldn't think of it, he simply didn't want to, and after leaving the court, he walked out of the court with Cheng Yanjin and others, and then rode out of the imperial city together.
At this time, the Tang army, which was ready to go, had already assembled outside Chang'an City, and the Tang army wearing armor was so black that they couldn't see their heads at a glance.
Around the castle, thousands of people were watching, and everyone's expressions were surprisingly unanimous, that is, full of excitement!
Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, Datang has won several foreign wars, which has given the people great confidence, in the words of later generations, the army of Datang is called to come, to fight, to win!
During this period, the people had a very strong sense of national pride, and they were similar to many officials in the court, that is, except for the Tang Dynasty, the people in other places were all uncivilized barbarians.
Therefore, in their opinion, the imperial court should send troops to conquer the barbarians, so that they can know the strength of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, and then bow down to the vassals and pay tribute every year.
Looking at the cheering people, Gao Ming couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm just starting to send troops, so I feel like I've already won the battle."
Hearing Gao Ming's self-talk, Li Ji next to him immediately laughed.
"I Datang attaches great importance to military merits, and after the end of this battle, there may be many soldiers who can be promoted to knighthood, at least a few more acres of fertile land, for the soldiers, this is a rare opportunity."
Speaking of this, Li Ji immediately stroked his beard with a smile, with a slight joy on his face, and it could be seen that he was still in a good mood at the moment.
However, a hint of gloom flashed on Gao Ming's face.
"A rare opportunity......
Gao Ming was originally a person who lived in a peaceful era, in his opinion, whether it was a victory or a defeat, as long as there was a war, people would die, and among these soldiers in front of him, I don't know how many people would die on the battlefield and bury their bones in other places.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh for a moment.
"Alas, I don't know how many people will die this time, I started this war this time, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."
Seeing Gao Ming's words, Li Ji opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, obviously worried.
But Cheng Yanjin didn't have this concern, as soon as Gao Ming's words fell, he impatiently grabbed Gao Ming's hand.
"How can there be no immortal in war? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be a little daughter again, go, go up to the city tower! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Gao Ming's castle tower.
After coming to the top of the city tower, Cheng Yanjin let go of Gao Ming's hand, and then arched his hand towards him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please order the martyrdom!"
"Hmm!"
Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Gao Ming also knew that it was not his mother-in-law, so he immediately nodded, and then walked to the lookout tower of the city tower and shouted: "Order, martyrdom!" ”
Martyrdom is a custom that has been handed down since before the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is a kind of expedition sacrifice that belongs to the army alone, similar to the sacrificial flag of later generations.
After Gao Ming ordered the martyrdom, the drummer next to him began to beat the war drums "dong dong", accompanied by the rapid sound of drums, several soldiers dragged cattle and sheep to the front of the formation, and then raised their swords and fell!
"Poof!"
The blood of the cows and sheep sprayed out like a fountain, and several soldiers worked together to lift it up, and then began to walk around the formation.
Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly pulled out his saber with a "swish", and then raised his arms and shouted.
"In this battle, those who dare not kill will be killed! Let's go! ”
"Order!"
The army was drawn up, first a group of cavalry, then infantry, then a wagon with heavy baggage, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in a long line, like a long snake crawling slowly, and after about a stick of incense, they completely disappeared from Gao Ming's sight.
Gao Ming straightened his waist and stood on the tower watching, and when all the soldiers and horses were gone, he went down the tower and then returned to the imperial city.
After returning to the East Palace, he immediately took off his armor, which was not too heavy, and then changed into the silk robe he usually wore, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"It's still comfortable to wear!"
Gao Ming had just changed his clothes when he heard a cry outside the door.
"Woo...... Woowoowoo......"
Hearing this cry, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"Who is so ignorant, where is it not good to cry, I have to cry in my East Palace to sweep my interest, but this voice seems to be a little familiar......"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming walked out, he had just walked out of the door, and suddenly saw a familiar figure kneeling at the door, looking at this figure, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly widened.
"Wan'er? When did you come back? ”
The one kneeling at Gao Ming's door was none other than Su Wan'er!
Hearing Gao Ming's words, she immediately raised her head, and the moment she looked up, two lines of tears ran down her cheeks, her two eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying for a while.
Looking at Su Wan'er, who was crying grief-stricken, Gao Ming suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly went up to help her up.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this? Who messed with you? ”
Seeing Gao Ming's anxious look, Su Wan'er suddenly cried even more sadly.
"Woo woo woo...... His Royal Highness the Prince, his father was reckless and collided with His Royal Highness, and the concubine was here to make amends to His Royal Highness for him, and I hope His Royal Highness will be gracious, woo woo woo woo ......"
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down again, Gao Ming hurriedly picked her up, and then frowned.
"Your dad ran into me? When did it happen? How come I don't remember? By the way, what's your dad's name? ”
"The concubine's father is called Su Yan, the one who was spit on by His Royal Highness earlier!"
Gao Ming: "(⊙o⊙)..."
