Chapter 16: The First Expedition to Goryeo
The warm wind of June, coming from Hainan, went straight to Chang'an. It seems that overnight, Chang'an became lush and a little too green. The streets of Chang'an City, which have been yellowed for a long time, are more and more densely dyed by the green of life, and are completely submerged in the sea of green. The monotonous streets of Chang'an in the past accept the bright sunshine, and the summer cicadas also begin to sing, carrying green life and extending to the depths of Chang'an Deep Pavilion.
The news of the strong man's expedition was like a hot summer wind, and it quickly blew throughout Chang'an.
The navigation logs of Zhang Quandan and Meng Xiaoqi, who were still serialized in the newspaper of "Datang News", were suddenly interrupted, and were replaced by the news that the Tang army had set out to conquer Goryeo.
"Brother Mengyun, what do you think of my Tang Dynasty sending troops to Goryeo?"
Chang'an Guozijian, in a classroom where antique scholars studied, eleven or twelve scholars were discussing something together.
I saw a handsome scholar sitting in the middle, holding the huge newspaper in his hand, reading it carefully, and muttering: "I don't know if you brothers have seen the number of troops sent by my Tang Dynasty this time?" ”
"My Datang sent troops, at least 100,000 troops to suppress the realm, why did Brother Mengyun suddenly ask such a question?" A slightly chubby gentleman laughed.
Instead of speaking, the scholar sitting in the middle had sharper eyes, and his eyes flashed, "Look here." ”
Everyone looked at it, and saw a small line of small print written under the illustration of a map of Silla in the newspaper.
"This time, Datang sent 3,000 troops, led by the main general Xu Yang and the deputy general Niu Jinda to support Goryeo."
Xu Yang is about to go on an expedition again, and after learning the news, the people of Xujiazhuang and the village came to Xuyang's mansion to ask for blessings.
The people in the village are now grateful to the owner of the village who has been paid a consistent amount of money every month, as the saying goes, it is good to be kind to people, and it has to be remembered for a thousand years, and the simple farmers of the Tang Dynasty have deeply remembered such a farmer, so this time Xu Yang wants to go on the expedition, and they have sent their own blessings.
"Steward Liu, this is a pair of peace charms for our old lady to go up the mountain to beg, and please bring it when Hou Ye goes out, there are still thirty eggs here, which is a little gift from my family to Hou Ye's army, so that the men can grow their strength and kill more enemies." An old man dressed plainly with a basket of eggs said respectfully in front of the gate of the Xu Mansion.
It can be seen that there is a long queue behind him, and everyone is carrying a bunch of gifts and gifts, presumably for Xu Yang.
The butler-like man in a brocade robe nodded and patted the old man's shoulder, "Old grandson, Master Hou will remember you, thank you." ”
The old man was very happy, bowed and said: "Xie dare not say, it is the great luck of the villain's family to be able to live in the same village with Hou Ye, I only hope that Hou Ye is safe and sound, and the villain's family is willing to follow Hou Ye for generations." With that, he retreated.
Then he immediately followed a person, "Steward Liu, my family has nothing to give to Hou Ye, so I had to dig up the fungus that has grown for a long time from the dead wood at home and present it to Hou Ye, I wish Hou Ye a safe and peaceful return with a great victory."
Xujiazhuang, Xuyang Mansion.
"Husband, turn around and show the slave family again."
In the courtyard, Liu Mengli looked at Xu Yang in a military uniform with admiration on his face, with green steel armor and white clouds, Xu Yang who was wearing a general's uniform was full of spirit and ability.
"I've watched it a few times, what's there to see." Xu Yang complained, the fleet set sail in the afternoon, but Liu Mengli has been staying by himself until now.
I was about to tell Liu Mengli that I was leaving, when I heard a sobbing sound behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw that Liu Mengli, this girl, was actually crying, with a pear blossom with rain, and I saw a pitiful look.
"Girl" Xu Yang didn't know what to say for a while.
Wiped his tears hard, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing, Liu Mengli said slowly: "Husband, you must be careful in this war, things are in a hurry, and the slave family did not ask for some life-saving signs for your husband, and your husband must be careful" After saying that, the tears were like beads with broken threads, and he cried with a whimper.
Gently hugging the crying beauty, Xu Yang comforted: "Girl, this time is not a big battle, it's just a small Goryeo, and the husband will soon be able to calm them down and return to Tang." ”
Liu Mengli raised her head with red eyes and asked tentatively: "Really?" ”
"When did the husband lie to you?"
"How can the slave family listen to others, this expedition is extremely dangerous," Liu Mengli's little face said with a little pale.
"You listen to other people's nonsense." Xu Yang lightly hung Liu Mengli's nose, "The husband is going to increase his qualifications this time, after all, there are many officials in the court who are dissatisfied with the reward of His Majesty, this time I am one to avoid the limelight, and the other is to make some meritorious deeds, so that I can confirm my identity as the marquis of the country, and I will be named a wife and a child in the future." ”
Liu Mengli's eyes suddenly became a little bright, "Is that husband sure of going on this expedition?" ”
"That is, when have your husband and I suffered a loss, how could we fight a battle that we are not sure of." Xu Yang held Liu Mengli's little hand and said softly: "When your husband returns this time, your body will almost have matured, and your husband will come back to have sex with you." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mengli's face was red and dripping blood, and she hummed softly like a mosquito, and snuggled in Xu Yang's arms.
Looking at the sun, Xu Yang gently patted Liu Mengli's shoulder, "Girl, it's time for your husband to go on the expedition." ”
Walked out of the gate with his head held high, looked back at Liu Mengli who was leaning next to the gate, Xu Yang turned around and beckoned, then got into the carriage at the door, and said to Han Yanxuan and Liu Qizhang who were sitting in the carriage: "Let's go!" ”
Taicang Wharf.
Thousands of sails are hanging high, and the ocean-going fleet has returned to rest for less than half a month, and it is about to make its second expedition.
Nuoda's dock was full of people, and on the largest dock of the ship, Li Er had already been waiting in a dragon robe for a long time.
The new Queen of Rodoshan, dressed in purple gauze, stood beside him, her eyes filled with a confusion that could not tell whether she was happy or sad, three thousand soldiers, in her mind, these people were only enough to guard a city, and the Tang Emperor's dispatch of troops this time made her anxious and uneasy, the other party was a hundred thousand allied troops of the three countries! asked Li Er to send some more sergeants, but Li Er's reply to her was always the sentence 'My 3,000 troops are enough to break 100,000 sergeants!' ’
On the dock, the expressions of the civil and military officials were not very good, especially those military generals, one by one, as if they had encountered bad luck, their faces drooping to the elders.
After Xu Yang's car arrived, the grand sailing ceremony began.
Fang Xuanling began to read the text as usual, it was a long text about the killing of Yuan Gai Suwen, which can quote scriptures, Xu Yang listened to the clouds, and only remembered the last sentence, Gai Suwen was extremely vicious, the crime was monstrous, and it was difficult to write, so he sent three thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to suppress it.
After saying this, the ocean-going fleet began its expedition.
Everyone began to board the ship, and Queen Deshan and Princess Jindeok of Silla also asked to return to China this time, and Li Er did not refuse them, but just sent fifty guards to protect Queen Deshan, so that Xu Yang secretly discussed with himself, and sure enough, Queen Deshan was eaten, otherwise he would not have sent troops to protect her.
Most of the crews of the fleet are the original crew, such as Zhang Quandan, Meng Xiaoqi and his party all returned to the ship at this time, and most of the thousands of sergeants left on board were Li Er's treasured Guan Long Xuanjia Army.
"Big brother, do you think this kid and Lao Niu can stop the 100,000 coalition troops of the Three Kingdoms with only these 3,000 soldiers and horses?" The huge iron anchor of the big ship has been slowly pulled up, and many officials on the shore are talking about it together, Cheng Yanjin is standing beside Qin Qiong at this time and asks worriedly.
Qin Shubao looked at the fleet on the Yellow River and slowly set sail, and said in a low voice: "If Niu Jinda is the main general this time, it will definitely be impossible to resist." ”
Cheng Yanjin was shocked: "Then why didn't the big brother say anything to stop it?" ”
"But now that the Lord will be this Ghost Valley Xu Yang, I always feel that he will have a way to turn this situation around!" Qin Qiong squinted her eyes and said firmly. R1152
