Chapter 1950: Beacon Flames
Even if Wen Shamen was unlucky, he only counted the reputation of the Goguryeo people in disrepute, and it was impossible for the army on the city tower to gain the trust of the Tang army so quickly.
But unexpectedly, there was a prince Su Zhi of the Xi clan who dressed as a man and had a deep love for Guo Ye.
What does she care about the credibility of the Goguryeo people? It is enough to know that your sweetheart is in the city and is worried about your life!
For the sake of lovers, even if you drag thousands of people to accompany you to the funeral?
So, there was a mistake, and the soldiers and horses of the Xi and Khitan easily landed in the city and took over the city defense.
Immediately afterward, His Majesty Li Er sent troops into the city.
At this time, in Liaodong City, all the leading generals were confined by Sun Daiyin in the city lord's mansion, and they couldn't organize any resistance at all. There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
It can be said that the Tang army came to the outside of the city lord's mansion without much effort.
Seeing the Tang army behind him, Wen Shamen's subordinates were suddenly confused, and I don't know which one shouted-"Run", and immediately scattered and fled!
Suddenly, except for the two guards, there was no one around Wen Shamen.
The old man wanted to cry without tears, and said, "It's over! Liaodong City is broken! Wenshamen, Wenshamen, you have the responsibility to guard the land, and now, what face do you have to live in the world? Let's die! Let's die! ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
Sun Daiyin hurriedly said: "Slow! Old man, if you have something to discuss, don't be in a hurry to seek death. ”
"Hmph, the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion, aren't you looking forward to this day for a long time?"
"You can't say that, at one time or another." Sun Daiyin said: "I assassinated you before because you were too powerful to let you enter the City Lord's Mansion alive, and I really didn't control the situation." But now that the city has changed hands, you can't change the situation even if you live. ”
He paused for a moment and continued: "How can I say that I am also your son-in-law, and I have half a son. But if there is a way, I hope that you will die in old age. ”
"Thank you! If you really have a conscience, you will be kind to the little girl in the future. National events have nothing to do with women. As for the old man...... Hehe, I don't want to be humiliated by the Tang people. ”
Guo Ye said: "The old general doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has always been lenient to the generals, and no one will dare to humiliate you." Besides, General Sun has the merit of dedicating the city, and you are always his father-in-law, maybe you can be added to the rank and knighthood, why don't anyone open their eyes to find trouble with you? ”
"Even so, the old man doesn't want to live."
"Why is that?"
"Isn't it shameful that I have been in Goguryeo for more than 700 years, and Liaodong City was lost, and not a single high-ranking official died in battle? Qin Guogong, thank you for your kindness. If you really have the heart to ......"
"How?"
"Please also ask people to make a note in the history books, the city of Liaodong is broken, and the veteran Wenshamen is martyred!"
After saying that, the old man killed himself on the spot!
His two personal guards were not sad, and said: "On the Huangquan Road, I will wait for the old general to take another ride!" And then, too, committed suicide here.
When Guo Ye saw it, he was silent for a long time, and said silently in his heart: "There are so many loyal ministers and righteous people in Goguryeo, and if you want to destroy your country, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
……
……
"Your Majesty hangs the people and kills the people and saves the people from fire and water. When the criminal minister Sun Daiyin is not tomorrow, he does not know benevolence and righteousness, resists the heavenly soldiers, and kills and injures many times, which is really a serious sin, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish the crime! ”
At this moment, Sun Daiyin was dressed in white, holding the big seal of the city lord of Liaodong City, holding it high, and his demeanor was extremely respectful.
You have to do a full set of plays, although everyone knows that Sun Daiyin will be rewarded for his meritorious service to the city, but in fact, he really has to make a look of guilt.
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hands to pick him up and said, "The two countries are fighting each other, each for its own master, this is a public enmity, not a personal grudge. Today, Sun Aiqing abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and the former feud should be written off. In addition, you have contributed to the city, and I have been rewarded! ”
"Sinners don't dare to take credit. If you are willing to forgive, please allow Weichen to retreat to the forest and live his life. ”
"What are these words? Sun Aiqing, you are in your prime, and you don't want to make contributions, but you are willing to hide in the spring. Do you think that I am a dumb king? ”
"The sinner doesn't dare, it's just ......"
"It's nothing, if you think I'm still a wise man, continue to serve me. From today, Liaodong City was renamed Liaozhou. And Sun Aiqing is the first Liaozhou assassin. When I return to the army, there will be another reward! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen must have done his best for His Majesty and died! ”
Don't think that His Majesty Li Er's reward is perfunctory, in fact, Sun Daiyin was overjoyed when he heard this appointment.
As a general, what are you most worried about? Not yet the trust of the new master? Now that His Majesty Li Er continues to let him serve in Liaozhou, doesn't it mean that he has handed over all the back roads to him? With the trust of His Majesty Li Er, is the day of the Sun family's soaring prosperity still far away?
After appeasing Sun Daiyin, His Majesty Li Er took the big seal of the city lord of Liaodong City and held it high.
He said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liaodong City was originally the homeland of China, but two hundred years ago, China was weak and occupied by Goguryeo. In order to restore his homeland, Emperor Yang of Sui fought three times and failed to defeat it. But today ......"
His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath and said, "I, Li Shimin, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, took all the soldiers and soldiers to take back this city!" This deed is mine, and it is also the love of all people. Let's encourage the monarchs and ministers to create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty together! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
It took a long time for people's voices to gradually become lower. Li Daozong took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten one thing?" ”
"What's the matter? Do you mean to reward all the soldiers? ”
"That's not a hurry. Weichen means that His Majesty will be victorious and recover Liaodong City. With such good news, I have to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the subjects in the rear quickly. ”
"How did I forget this stubble!" His Majesty Li Er patted his head and said, "Come on, light a fire for me!" ”
"Whoa!"
Of course, his order to light the fire was not to burn Liaodong City. Rather, it is to light a beacon fire.
When he first set out on the expedition, His Majesty Li Er had an appointment with the crown prince to build a beacon tower for thirty miles, and repaired it from Chang'an City to the vicinity of Liaodong. As long as the city of Liaodong is broken, a beacon fire will be lit and the matter will be reported to the world.
The obvious reason for this is, of course, that the crown prince is young and imprisoned the country, and if someone spreads rumors about the battle situation ahead, I am afraid that it will cause instability among the people, and the timely delivery of the news of victory will help the stability of the imperial court.
However, the most fundamental reason is that His Majesty Li Er hopes that his deeds can be known to the world as soon as possible.
Didn't you say that it was not right for me to kill my brother and kill my brother? So what?
In the case of the rule of the paper, the four coins of rice in the Zhenguan period of my reign are the prosperous times that can be counted. On martial arts, I will recover the homeland of the Han family and reproduce the glory of China!
Where do you find such a good emperor? What's not to like?
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing when he saw the smoke and flames flying on the beacon tower, and said, "In less than three days, this good news will be known by the crown prince and the remaining ministers." When they heard the news, they wondered how happy they were! ”
……
……
"What? The father has broken Liaodong City? Li You asked.
Yin Hongzhi said: "That's right, the beacon is in the jam, and everyone knows this news all over the world." ”
Li You slapped his thigh and said, "Okay!" That's great! ”
"Your Highness, are you alright? What's so good about that? His Majesty's expedition went smoothly, and the position of the crown prince became more and more secure. Aren't you getting farther and farther away from the throne? ”
"You know what? This is called reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. The more smoothly he fought this battle, the closer he got to die. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Youqiang suppressed his excitement and said, "You don't care about this matter." All in all, a big change is coming soon! Hehe, Beacon entered the competition, and if you can enter it once, you can enter it for the second time. You have given me some good care of the characters under him, and it will be of great use in a few days. ”
"Your Highness, with all due respect, although the number of people who Your Majesty launched the Xuanwumen Revolution is not large, they are all elites of a hundred battles. The characters we put together are a little bit worse, I'm afraid it's embarrassing. ”
"Don't worry." Li You smiled slightly and said, "Our manpower is weak, but our enemies are even weaker. More critically......"
"What?"
"The general trend is mine!"
