Volume 9 Goryeo Under the Smoke of Gunfire Chapter 15 Never Stop
"I didn't expect that you, who couldn't find you, actually ran to Goryeo to make the wind and rain, hehe......" Li Er's heart was amused, his guess at the beginning has now become a reality, as early as when Li Kuan left, he already knew that his second son, who had always been silent, would never be a peaceful person, and when he left only temporarily, it would definitely be a different scene when he came back. Sure enough, this kid made such a mess in Goryeo, but what he didn't know was that in the distant Japanese slave country, which had been completely made into a mess by his unconscious son, the Japanese slave country would not be able to recover its vitality for at least a few decades, coupled with a large group of hidden schools with their own ghosts, and that footbasin nation was about to disappear from the stage of history in the future.
"Your Majesty, what kind of news is it?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked a little anxiously, Datang is now a natural disaster, the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, and the flood of the year before last have made the entire empire anxious, and now it is just better, and it has encountered a snow disaster, and this empire has not been calm in this Zhenguan for several years.
"The news is not bad! Ha ha...... I didn't expect that kid to go to Goryeo! And it is entangled with Silla, and it is beating Goryeo to the ground, and Goryeo is powerless to make a mistake this year. Because they're too busy protecting themselves! Li Er stood up, he finally heard a good news on this day, plus there was news from Li Kuan again, he would not be careless this time, and he must firmly control this unconscious kid. He has a lot of secrets on him, and such a guy is really an unstable factor, because in the last time Li Kuan suddenly said goodbye. just hung up the seal and left, letting Li Er know that this kid did not have the slightest attachment to Houlu, a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, and only what he cared about in his heart was worth keeping and cherishing. Just like Changle who now lives in the gorgeous mansion on Suzaku Street, and the mischievous witch who is plagued all over the palace. These people are the ones he can't let go, because in the night sky illuminated by the fire tree and silver flowers, these people have appeared above the sky, which shows their status in the kid's heart. But now that it is far away from the mountains and roads in Goryeo, it is really not an easy thing to control.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is in Goryeo?" The eldest grandson Wuji was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but be surprised. Because Li Kuan, the king of Chu, left directly, he made a lot of effort. His son who is the new champion of the department can directly take office in Cangzhou as soon as he won the first place in the imperial examination, and take on the post of assassin of a state. To say that without his old face mixed with the period, it is impossible to make a decisive plan, just because the king of Chu fell into a trough at that time, because he prevented Princess Changle's marriage, and His Majesty was not happy. Plus messed up a mess in Cangzhou. That's what led me to seize the opportunity. He has an indescribable fear of this prince, who has not been very active among many princes, except for his achievements in military affairs, and has always been inconspicuous. That's why he pressed like this, but he didn't expect the other party to directly throw away all the qiē, and leave like this, which made Changsun Wuji have a feeling of being empty when he threw a punch but hit the cotton. Now I know that this prince is in Goryeo. And it seems that he has taken control of Silla, the most powerful country on the peninsula of Goryeo.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers congratulate His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Congratulations for His Majesty, congratulations for the world! The ministers put their hearts down, and then loudly slapped the horses' ass, this time is the best time to pat the horses' ass, because in this kind of just aware of the crisis, the emperor is anxiously weighing the gains and losses in his heart, and suddenly found that a qiē has actually completely become another absolutely favorable situation, the saint's heart is definitely dark, and at this time the horse's ass is definitely leveraged.
"Okay, I know your feelings, but this qiē is just a coincidence, who knew that kid actually took Silla down without saying a word!" Li Er was not carried away by the reversal of the situation this time, he knew that this qiē had nothing to do with him. It's just a coincidence, Li Kuan's kid made an excellent containment cooperation according to his own temperament. What we have to do now is not to relax or celebrate, but to take advantage of your illness and kill you. Now is definitely the best time to attack Goryeo, because now when you send troops to attack Goryeo, you can form a two-sided attack with Silla, and Goryeo will definitely not be able to stop it. As long as Goryeo is taken, then with the addition of Silla, which has already been controlled, Baekje is definitely in the bag.
According to Li Er's understanding of Li Kuan, Xue Wanche must have been completely prepared when he appeared on the battlefield of Silla, because the number of people Li Kuan took away from Cangzhou at the beginning was still relatively clear, although the number of heads could not be accurately obtained, but the general number of people in the population statistics of the Tang Dynasty still has corresponding information to query. Xue Wanche is the number one fierce general under Li Kuan, he is a trump card, and Li Kuan will not release him without full certainty, that is to say, Silla is already half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the old minister, please fight!" Qin Qiong stood up again, this old general who doesn't have much time left, has aged very much over the years, when he was in the first year of Zhenguan, he was still full of green silk, but now he is already white-headed silver frost. Although his body is still burly, his steps have faltered. He has been idle at home all these years, and the dark wounds of the past have also begun to attack slowly, devouring his health. Now he still wants to be the first to fight, because he knows that his time is running out, his health is getting worse, and he doesn't know how long he can last. He will go to the battlefield again in his lifetime, and in the sound of the trumpet, he will recall the pride of the past. The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud is still the best destination for the general. Waiting for death on the sickbed like this is the greatest shame for a battlefield veteran. As a general who has spent most of his life on the battlefield, the battlefield has been an inseparable part of him, so he has always been eager to put on his uniform again, fight on the battlefield once, and as long as his life continues, then it will never stop.
"Second Brother Qin, your share, the brothers will kill it back for you, or give it to me Lao Cheng, and then talk about the three boys in my family, but I have been talking about His Royal Highness the King of Chu. This time, I will take those three cubs to the battlefield together, the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers. Just wait for your brother's triumphant return! Cheng Yanjin came out again to stop Qin Qiong, he didn't know that Qin Qiong didn't know that after learning the news of the snow disaster this time, he didn't care about what his body had to come to the court for, as a general, no one likes to lie on the sickbed and wait for death, but as a brother, he had to come out to stop it. Because he knew that if Qin Qiong went on the expedition, then he would probably have to die on the road before he reached the battlefield. It's like going to give people heads. This kind of behavior can be said to be completely suicidal, how could Cheng Yanjin agree.
"Haha...... It's better to do what I say. In fact, our right military guard is the most suitable unit to go out to fight, I believe everyone knows that long-distance running is what I Wei Chi Gong is best at, and which of you can keep up with my speed on the road that has traveled thousands of miles along the way. Then why not give it to you! "Wei Chigong is also in charge. At this time, in the court of the Tang Dynasty, all the top generals of the Tang Dynasty regarded Goryeo as meat on the chopping board, and everyone wanted to pounce on it and take a bite, among which the strongest were Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, these three are the three strongest among the Tang Dynasty generals, and of course there is also a master of the art of war, Li Jing. It's just that Li Jing doesn't fight about anything now. Because of his background, Li Er has not relaxed at all about him. So he knew that in fact, whether he fought or not fought was the same result, if Li Er wanted him to go, then he would go if he didn't fight or grab, if Li Er didn't let him get out, even if he shouted loudly, it would be useless. And he is actually the one who knows best what Li Kuan has done in the Tang Dynasty over the years, but the more he knows, the more jealous he feels about Li Kuan.
During this time, he knew what this Tang prince did through the contact between his own hands and other hidden schools: he carried out a bloody provocation and massacre in the country of Japanese slaves, and then pulled countless prisoners of war to be slaves, and established a special training place overseas. It can create a violent explosion, and it is a powerful force to storm the city and conquer the battalion. Li Er only knew about these vaguely, but Li Jing knew much more about it. After all, there is a collusion between the hermit schools, otherwise how can they continue to this day in the gap between the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism?
But these things, Li Jing will not say it, because once he says it, Li Er's suspicion of him will be heavier, and now every time he comes back from the expedition, the first thing is not to go home, but to report to the military department first, and after handing over the military power, he can rest assured that the Shengming monarch who is eloquent but can't tolerate sand in his heart.
"Alright, stop, I have my own arrangements! Uncle Bao, your body is not as good as before, don't be reckless this time, I know what you mean, but I am not a person who can fight the world together, but I can't sit in the world together, if you still go on an expedition to Goryeo with a body like yours, then it's strange that the people of the Tang Dynasty don't poke my backbone behind my back! Li Er looked at Qin Qiong with deep meaning, this veteran, Li Er had some complicated feelings: he used to be the most capable general under his command, he had stood out among the ten thousand armies and escorted him, and he had also blocked the cold arrows that shot at him for him. As early as in the countless battles, the subordinate generals who had completely collected their hearts were still at the last moment, because of the kindness at the beginning, they poked him in the back. It is a pity that Yiqiē did not follow his mind to the end.
Although the two have already understood each other, because of the emperor who is still depressed every day in the Taiji Palace, Qin Qiong has always been low-key in his mansion, and there are very few courts. This qiē has to be said to be a creation to make people, so Li Er hopes that Qin Qiong can live a more stable life in the last period.
"Cheng Zhijie, you also retreat, Wei Chigong also retreat, this time there is no need to send troops from Chang'an, the grain and grass of the army along the way to supply Datang can't afford it! A qiē from the long term! Although Li Er was bent on conquering Goryeo, he still calmly analyzed the shape of his side and decided to slow down for a while. (To be continued......)
