Chapter 263: The King's Heart is Unfathomable

Chen Lang, when will you send troops to flank Baekje with my Silla?

Before the person arrived, the voice came. A burst of fresh fragrance like Lan Rufu rushed from outside, Chen Kefu looked up, the princess put on the golden xìng sense battle armor today, pressed the long sword on her waist, and walked in with a strong step.

Chen Kefu got up with a smile and greeted Gonglou over, "If you don't come to me, I'm about to look for you." "What's wrong?" "That's right, the Sumoshui tribe has been at war with the Black Water Shoe Ju recently, and the two sides are inextricably fighting. The Patriarch of the Tudi sent me several urgent letters a day, asking me to send troops across the Sumoshui to fight him against the Black Water Division. No, I haven't had time to reply to my letter, and the Khitan Adina patriarch also sent several quick letters, asking him to transfer troops out of Fuyu and fight with him against the Muwei people. Chen Kefu pointed to several letters on the desk.

"Chen Lang, what do you mean by that? Didn't we agree before? At the beginning, we sent a large army to attack Goguryeo as promised, and later withdrew from Goguryeo according to the agreement and switched to Baekje. At the beginning, we made an appointment, Chen Lang, you sent troops to attack Baekje from the north. At the beginning, in order to convince His Majesty and the master of the Mimuro Palace, I said a lot of good things about you, saying that you would definitely send troops as promised. But why is it that now our warriors are already fighting with Baekje, but Chen Lang wants to shirk it? "Princess Jin Shengman is already a little angry, on one side is her own kingdom, and now many warriors are dying every day.

On one side, she was her lover, and she was caught in the middle, feeling extremely aggrieved. When I thought of this, my eyes moistened.

Chen Kefu stepped forward and gently held her hand, but the princess shook it twice and didn't shake it off, tilting her head to the side and letting him hold it.

"Shengman, you have to believe me, how can I talk and not count. It's just that now Goguryeo is newly determined, and my soldiers and horses are going around to suppress those noble lords who resist. Now there are so many letters of distress from the Patriarch of Tudi and the Great Patriarch of Adina, and I haven't sent troops yet. In this battle, my subordinates also suffered heavy losses, with more than 50,000 casualties, and the entire army of 120,000 people, now only 70,000 remain. The soldiers have been fighting for half a year and now need a temporary recuperation. "And what was our previous agreement?" The princess turned her face to look at Chen Kefu and said angrily.

"I've come up with a solution that will definitely solve your problem. I have just sent an invitation post to all ethnic groups in Liaodong and Liaoxi, inviting them to gather in Liaodong City. I've also sent out a copy of your Silla, and we'll discuss it together when everyone comes. At that time, the Silla, Dasui, Shoeju, and Khitan Four-Power Alliances approached Murowei and Shoeju to negotiate peace. At that time, they will temporarily suspend their troops, and I will be able to draw troops and horses to take the opportunity to flank Baekje with Silla first. ”

"Can't you send troops now?" "Now the soldiers are too tired and the morale of the army is not high, how to fight. Now you have a temporary truce with Baekje, just in time to paralyze them, and then we will send troops to the north and south to attack Baekje at the same time, and we will definitely be able to kill him by surprise. , Chen Kefu never thought about sending troops to help Silla, if Silla really destroyed Baekje, the next target of the attack, maybe it would be him. It is inevitable that Longwang Shu will be born, and Silla today is not a princess or a king.

The emperor was stationed in the palace of Gaoyang County.

A cavalryman came from the east with billowing smoke and dust, and went straight to the palace gate. The Praetorian Guards stopped the cavalry from a distance with spears in hand, and shouted, "Galloping in front of the palace, this is a capital crime!" "Liaodong urgent report, I have Liaodong urgent report to tell Your Majesty!" The knight was grabbed by the Janissaries and fell off his horse uncontrollably. Pressed to the ground by several guards, he couldn't help but shout in a hurry.

When the guards heard that it was a messenger from Liaodong, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to let him go, and one of them took him to the palace gate.

On the top of the main hall, Yang Guangzheng was angry, and the old minister Fan Zigai went to Henan and Shandong to suppress bandits, and countless robbers were killed, but there were more and more bandits in Shandong. Even a report has just been made that Li Mi, who once rebelled with Yang Xuangan, actually arrived in Henan, and is now in a group of bandits. This kind of news made him extremely angry, people like Li Mi not only escaped, but also appeared in a grand manner, how could he endure it.

The two generals Yujuluo and Tuwanxu were defeated by the Jianghuai bandits again, and the army led by the two was wiped out.

Dou Jiande in Hebei, Shan Xiongxin in Henan, Xu Shixun, Wang Bodang, and now another Li Mi has been added, and Jianghuai has Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Skirt. There are already nearly 100 other rebel groups, large and small, numbering hundreds of thousands. This made Yang Guang not angry, and what made him even more angry was that the ministers who were sent out were so useless. ,

"It's all the news every day, don't you have a little news that makes me happy?" Yang Guang stood on top of the Dan Qi, pointing at the ministers in the hall and laughing angrily. It was because of these damn mud tuǐzi that his great cause stalled. Seeing that Liaodong was about to be pacified, he was dragged here and couldn't go in person. If Liaodong loses this time, then I don't know when I will have such a good opportunity again.

"Your Majesty, I have good news that I have just received. Wang Shichong of the Jianghuai army had just defeated the rebel Liu Yuanjin and successfully surrendered more than 300 of his men who had escaped. The 30,000 people brought by General Wang have all been slaughtered. "Yuwen Shu is busy reporting good news.

An imperial historian came out and said, "Your Majesty, since Wang Shichong has already recruited the thieves, he should not be untrustworthy and slaughter more than 30,000 people. This is an act of untrustworthiness and loss of the prestige of the imperial court. The minister thought that he should be held accountable.

"Prestige, benevolence? Will this allow you to defeat the damned rebels? There are so many people in the world, but there are only 30,000 rebels, and it is good to kill. Yang Guang high-fived and praised. Spread my will, and promoted Wang Shichong to be the governor of Jiangdu, and rewarded 10 million. Ordered him to command the Jianghuai army and completely dàng the bandits of the Jianghuai. ”

After hearing such good news, Yang Guang's mood finally improved. Throughout the day, he heard the news of rebellions in various places and the defeat of the imperial army, which made him think that there were no more generals available in the court.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong Urgent!" An inner shì stepped forward to report.

As soon as Yang Guang heard Liaodong's urgency, the whole person stood up, walked down the Danqi in three or two steps, and hurriedly beckoned, "Quick, bring the messenger quickly." ”

After a while, he saw the messenger coming in, and hurriedly stopped the messenger from saluting, "I will allow you to be exempt from courtesy, and quickly talk about the military situation in Liaodong." ”

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Xutuo crossed the Liao River on October 26 and encountered the Liao army.

The Liao people first fought against the enemy with 130,000 people, and General Zhang broke through the enemy's formation and pursued for more than ten miles. ”

"Good! Prancing horse horizontal spear, only I General Zhang. With 18,000 people, the Liao army was defeated by 130,000 people in the First World War, although only General Zhang Xutuo could do it. At the beginning, Chen Po's army was in Xincheng, and broke through the Liao army of 80,000 with 1,000, and now there are 18,000 Zhang Xutuo, breaking the enemy 130,000. There are so many generals in my Great Sui, and the rivers and mountains of me will be fixed forever. Before the messenger finished speaking, Yang Guang was about to jump up with joy. Jiang is really old and spicy, and he won such a big battle as soon as he arrived in Liaodong.

"What's next? Say it? "The messenger saw that the emperor was so happy, and his heart rose to his throat, this Sutuo had just died, and he didn't know what the result would be if he said it.

Later, after General Zhang pursued for more than ten miles, he encountered ambushes from the Liao people one after another, but they were all defeated one by one. By evening, most of General Zhang's troops and horses had dispersed, and in a valley, General Zhang's 8,000 men and horses encountered more than 60,000 elite coalition troops of Goguryeo, Baekje, Shoeju, and Murowei. ”

"What? The coalition forces of Goguryeo, Murowei, Hanju, and Baekje? Yang Guang was taken aback, it was the first time he had heard that Goguryeo had actually united with other clans.

"Yes, Goguryeo united several other tribes in western Liao, with an allied army of 200,000 and 300,000 auxiliary soldiers, a total of 500,000 people besieging Liaodong City. When General Zhang Xutuo arrived in Liaodong, they had been besieging Liaodong for half a month. ”

As soon as they heard about the 200,000 soldiers and horses, the ministers in the palace all had their faces sinking, and they all faintly felt a bad line. Only Pei Yun and Pei Shiju glanced at each other, and a smile rose on the corner of their mouths.

Although the envoy was worried that Yang Guang would be angry with him when he heard about Zhang Xutuo's death, he did not want to hide it, and began to tell about the war in Liaodong in 1510.

"General Zhang Xutuo fought hard all night, seven in and seven out, rescued many wounded soldiers, but in the end he was surrounded by the Liao people and died in battle.

"Impossible, General Zhang Da Hero I, how could he die so easily in the hands of those lowly Liao people?" Yang Guang's eyes widened like copper bells.

There was silence in the hall, and there was no sound. After a long time, Yuwen Shu said to the messenger, "What happened to Liaodong City?" How is General Chen Pojun now? ”

As soon as he heard about Chen Pojun, the messenger who didn't dare to raise his head in fright finally became happy.

"Great victory, Your Majesty, Marshal Chen has achieved a great victory, he has annihilated 500,000 people in Goguryeo, and all the generals of the coalition army such as Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu have been awarded."

Such news is even more unbelievable than Zhang Xutuo's death just now, Zhang Xutuo is so brave that he was defeated and died with nearly 20,000 elite soldiers and horses. Chen Kefu is no more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, although there is a strong city in Liaodong to defend, but at most it is already great to be able to protect the city without losing it, how can it be possible to annihilate all the Goguryeo coalition forces? It's a fantasy pool.

After the messenger Jī was there to recount the battle in Liaodong, the hall fell silent again, and everyone was extremely shocked. In such a short period of time, Zhen Kefu was able to turn 10,000 people into more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

When they heard that Chen Kefu's soldiers and horses took the initiative to attack, ambushed the former army of Goguryeo twice, and finally annihilated them all, everyone was extremely surprised. But when I heard the back, during the siege of Liaodong and the siege of millions of people, everyone was nervous.

When they heard the whole story, everyone seemed to have experienced a Liaodong War.

It's too ups and downs, and this result shakes everyone. Yang Guang on the dragon chair was surprised at first, then moved, and then happy. But as he listened, he slowly became silent, and finally his face sank, and when the messenger finished speaking, his face was already expressionless, and he couldn't see what emotions were in his heart.
