Chapter 81: Chang'an News
"Heaven is dead, I'm Goguryeo!"
The spring water stood in grief on the bank of the Lulu River and looked up to the sky and screamed sadly, surrounded by Goguryeo soldiers who were defeated and fled for their lives in panic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Tong saw at a glance the Goguryeo general who had just shot the cold arrow, slapped his horse and stepped forward, picked up the horse lance with both hands, and made an oblique cut at this person's neck. A wave of blood splashed in the rushing Lulu River, and a big head flew up in the air.
At the last moment, the spring saw his headless body standing on the riverbank, and behind him, a young and excited Tang Jiang stared at his flying head.
In Qin Yan's excited eyes, the head that he had cut off with his own hands fell into the river and was washed away by the river, Qin Yan grabbed his legs and bent down to pick it up, but the head with a desperate face was washed away from his hand. Qin Yan looked at the head that was drifting farther and farther away, it was the head of a Goguryeo general, and he would definitely be promoted to one level if he took it back.
The Tang army was chasing the fleeing Goguryeo army on the west bank of the Lulu River and in the river, and Li Jinxing led the Chinese army that did not participate in the battle to stand on the west bank of the river and look at the east bank.
"Cross the river!"
"General, look!"
Li Jinxing ordered the whole army to cross the river, and the lieutenant who had just led his troops into the river looked up and found that a large force of troops had suddenly rushed out of the forest on the east bank of the Lulu River, and with shield players in front and pikemen behind shouting incomprehensible slogans, he excitedly killed the Tang troops who were crossing the river.
"Hmph, the Silla Army is really here!"
Li Jinxing sneered, ordered the whole army to force the crossing and kill it directly, and ordered Qin Jingqian and Xue Ne, who were chasing and killing the defeated troops of Goguryeo, to immediately cross the river with the Chinese army.
"Jun Xun, Li Jinxing sent a good news."
"Oh? Hurry up, isn't it a big victory! Li Yu, who was thinking about the newly drawn maps of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, immediately left the thoughts in his mind when he heard this.
After the Battle of Shimen, the overall situation of Goguryeo was decided, and the Goguryeo people who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty in the vicinity of Pyongyang were basically wiped out by the Tang army in the past month.
Li Yu officially moved the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate back to Pyongyang, and the subordinate officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the royal government stationed in Anshi immediately moved in, and the three daughters of Xin'er, who were originally in Anshi, also came to Pyongyang with the Xiuyiwei and business personnel of the Yanwang Mansion.
Xin'er's arrival once again took care of Li Yu's life, and by the way, she gave Li Yu ideas on some matters.
The good news was written on a roll of paper and packed in a cylinder with a diameter of three inches, Xin'er pulled out the lid of the cylinder and took out a roll of paper from it and began to read: "His Royal Highness King Yuyan, the minister Li Jinxing was ordered to lead the army south to conquer the Goguryeo rebels entrenched in Seoul led by An Shun, and An Shun fled to Niucen without a fight. In order to pacify Goguryeo as soon as possible and not give it a chance to breathe, after deep thought, the minister decided to personally lead 30,000 elite cavalry to pursue Anshun, and Gao Kan led the rest of the troops and horses to follow up and exterminate the remnants of Goguryeo along the way to recover the cities. An Shun heard that our army was chasing, and then abandoned Niu Cen and fled to the Gulu River, and the minister led the army to intercept the Goguryeo army in the west of the Gulu River, and beheaded 4,000 prisoners and 1,323 people in the first battle, and An Shun led the remnants to escape across the Gulu River. After defeating the Goguryeo army, he encountered tens of thousands of Silla troops, and the minister led his army to cross the Gulu River and fought with the Silla army in the east of the Gulu River, defeating the Silla army and beheading 12,000 people, capturing 5,700 people, and the remnants of the Silla army and the rest of Ansun fled south to Silla. The minister led the army to break through the monk Liang Fortress and attack the northern border of Silla......"
"Jun, are you still going to attack Silla?" Xin'er put away the good news and asked seriously.
Li Yu smiled and said: "I wanted to fight, but I didn't have enough troops on my hands, so I ordered Li Jinxing to attack the northern border of Silla after winning just to teach Silla a lesson and force Silla to withdraw its troops from Baekje!" In about a month, the war in Anton is estimated to be over temporarily. ”
"After the war, Jun Xun, are we going back to Youzhou or Chang'an?"
"You want to go back after only half a year after leaving Chang'an and Youzhou?"
"Jun Xun, the slave family and Mei'er sisters are not used to living here, and they can't even go out casually inside and outside the city to prevent those thieves from assassinating the Goguryeo, it's really boring." Xin'er sighed as she propped herself on the table where the map was placed.
"And this Goguryeo palace, it's really cold."
This magnificent building in the first district of the Andong region turned into a chill in Xin'er's mouth, and Li Yu rubbed his temples quite embarrassed.
"Whether it is with Chang'an or Youzhou's Yanwang Mansion, this palace has no luxury and elegance except for a large area." Xin'er is useless for her comments about the Goguryeo Palace.
Li Yu blinked and didn't know what to say, Xin'er compared the Goguryeo Palace with her own Yanwang Mansion in Youzhou and Chang'an, didn't this set off her own luxury!
Thinking about the two Yanwang mansions that he designed and supervised by himself, Li Yu's face turned a little red!
There are no less than 100 kinds of exotic flowers and plants alone, forest fruit seedlings, pavilions and pavilions, and the stream pond in the courtyard is the beauty of the whole palace.
There is also a six-story building in the center of Yanwangfu in Youzhou, with a three-story attic on the left and right sides, which is the tallest building in the Yanyundi area. As for the Yanwang Mansion in Chang'an, Li Yu didn't spend much time, and he didn't dare to blatantly extravagant under the noses of his father and queen mother, and the highest attic in the mansion was only three floors.
"Since Xin'er is not satisfied, I will send someone to transfer the engineering team in the Yanwang Mansion in Youzhou to directly transform this palace into the Yanwang Mansion in Pyongyang."
Xin'er was surprised: "Huh? Could it be that Jun Xun plans to live here permanently? ”
"Looks like it's going to take a long time!" Li Yu said uncertainly.
Xin'er looked at Li Yu suspiciously, and saw that Li Yu didn't continue, so she wisely didn't ask again. According to Xun Jun's character, if you want to tell yourself that you don't need to ask, you will say it, and if you don't want to say it, it's useless to ask.
"Jun Xun, after the end of the war, are you going to arrange for the appointment of the officials of the recovered cities of Anton?" Xin'er changed the topic and lazily asked about Anton's next arrangement.
"Yes, but at the moment I don't have enough talent to appoint the cities. The Goguryeo people who surrendered were not credible, and they finally put down their rebellion, and they would no longer use the Goguryeo people for the officials of the recovered cities. ”
Li Yu said bitterly that before coming to Liaodong, he had made up his mind that he would never adopt the policy of Chinese and Goguryeo ginseng before the imperial court in Anton, and all the governors, prefectures and county officials would use Chinese to govern the cities, except for those who would use some people who defected to the Tang Dynasty and made meritorious contributions.
But now Li Yu is in trouble, except for those who are soldiers, there are not enough civilian personnel. The cities that had been recovered since the collapse of Yalushui now had no appointed officials, and were all controlled by the army. As a result, Li Yu still does not know how many people still exist in the area under the jurisdiction of the Pyongyang Metropolitan Government, how many acres of land there are, and as for taxes, there is no hair.
"Your Highness, Chang'an has come to the news, Xue Rengui Dafeichuan was defeated, and he made peace with the Tubo Emperor Qinling. Xue Rengui, Guo Beifeng, and Ashina Daozhen were exempted from death and dismissed for the people, and His Majesty dismissed the four towns of Anxi. ”
Yan Wangfu Peng Xiao Shu rushed into Li Yu's conference hall and said loudly, his face flushed with indignation.
"My Tang Dynasty has never had such a fiasco since the founding of the country......"
Nuo was not afraid of Xue Rengui's eldest son Xue Nezheng as a general under King Yan, and Xiao Shudu almost scolded Xue Rengui.
