Chapter 1127: The Way Home
Before the original expedition of the Pyongsilla Kingdom, Li Qinzai admonished Li Zhi in the Taiji Palace.
However, the original admonition was only strategic, and Li Qinzai did not go too carefully about how to implement it, because after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and some strategies cannot be implemented according to the plan in advance.
Now Li Qinzai is about to return to Datang, and he has seen the current situation on the Haidong Peninsula very clearly, and it is very appropriate to propose Pingxin Luoce at this time.
Early the next morning, Li Tao sent more than 200 troops to escort Li Qin back to Chang'an along the way, and Xiao Baga and Xue Ne also went along, but Jin Dayon stayed.
The war is not over yet, the army needs a doctor, if Jin Dayon goes to the Tang Dynasty to settle down and becomes the worship of the Li family, he can only wait until the end of the war and return with Li Tao.
Bidding farewell to Li Tao, the troops carried Li Qinzai out of the Tang army camp.
Before they got out of the big camp, countless soldiers came out of the camp tents and sent each other off silently.
Li Qinzai lay on the soft pocket, clasping his fists all the way.
It wasn't until they walked out of the gate that the soldiers finally stopped.
I don't know who took the lead, and the crowd of farewell sang an old ballad.
"Rong car is driving, four peony industry. How dare you settle down, three victories in January. β¦β¦ In the past, I went back, and the willows followed. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. β
At the beginning, a person's singing, the soldiers sang slowly in a low voice, and more and more people sang, and the low and desolate singing voice lingered among the mountains and green waters.
Li Qinzai's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly stopped.
The trilogy lifted him down from his soft pocket, and Li Qinzai faced the soldiers in the gate, bending down with difficulty, and he couldn't stand it for a long time.
The song still echoes in the heavens and the earth, like bidding farewell to the general, and like compassion for the common people.
Li Tao stood quietly in front of the crowd, smiling tearfully and waving his hand at Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai smiled at him from afar and turned to leave.
When it comes, it is like a thunderbolt, and when it goes, it is like a drizzle of rain.
In this war, how many cities were captured and how much land was plundered.
His greatest gain was that he won the respect of the officers and men of the whole army.
And he, in the name of life, is worthy of this respect.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Cui Jie and a group of disciples left Chang'an for a few days, and when they were about to arrive in Luoyang, they met a messenger sent by Li Tao on the way.
In ancient times, the traffic was unfavorable, there was no road extending in all directions, one city to another, the smoothest road may be only one, and it is a high probability to meet on the road.
The messenger brought a letter from Li Tao to report his safety, and the messenger said that although Li Qinzai was seriously injured, he had been rescued and his body was recovering.
Don't care about being rude, Cui Jie snatched Li Tao's family letter and read it carefully several times, making sure that Li Qinzai was alive, Cui Jie was stunned for a moment, suddenly cried bitterly, and bowed down on her knees facing the west, and didn't know which god to express her gratitude to.
Li Sujie and other disciples who accompanied him were also overjoyed, and the team suddenly erupted in cheers.
Now the question is, Li Qinzai is not dead, so whether Cui Jie and his party will return to Chang'an or continue to Dengzhou.
After Cui Jie discussed with her disciples, everyone decided to continue to Dengzhou, and then send someone to find out the news of the Goguryeo battlefield.
Cui Jie just wanted to see him as soon as possible because she missed her husband, and the disciples were right to say that they missed him after knowing that they had lived first.
What's more, I finally had a legitimate reason to leave Chang'an City, and I was able to get rid of the nagging and beating of the elders in my family, and go on a tour with my classmates, of course, I couldn't go back to Chang'an easily.
As soon as everyone changed the sluggish and sad atmosphere when they came out of Chang'an, everyone's mood was inexplicably better, Li Sujie's disciples talked and laughed, and the team of more than 1,000 people made it like a king-size tour group, and they really traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers leisurely.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the city was taken by the Tang army, the two countries fell into a brief strategic standoff.
In the past 20 days, there has been no large-scale confrontation between the two sides, but they have frequently mobilized their troops and horses.
After Li Tao took over the command of the Tang army, he immediately sent two partial divisions to the east, one with 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Xue Rengui, and the other with 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Gao Kan.
The two partial divisions were stationed in the central and eastern parts of Goguryeo, and together with the main force of the Tang army under Li Tao, Wang's division was divided into three parts, faintly forming an encirclement posture against Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
The city of Pyongyang was unable to send troops and horses to deal with the two partial divisions of the Tang Army, not because they did not want to send them, but because they did not dare at all.
After half a year of war, most of Goguryeo's army had been wiped out by the Tang army, and now most of Goguryeo's remaining elite soldiers and horses are concentrated in Pyongyang City.
This elite army of soldiers and horses is the last hope of the lord, one can not leave the capital, two can not divide the army, their only task is to defend the capital, protect the lord.
No matter how passive the war is, a country's country cannot be lost, and if the country falls, the country is basically hopeless.
Therefore, when Li Tao dispatched troops and sent generals, using the land of Goguryeo as a chessboard and 100,000 soldiers as chess pieces, he took the hand and laid out calmly, but Goguryeo was completely passive, and could only grit his teeth and hold the capital Pyongyang.
Both sides know very well that the offensive and defensive battle in Pyongyang will be a decisive battle between the two countries and the two armies, and the century-old feud will soon be known.
The war on the Haidong Peninsula is becoming more and more intense, and a major war is about to break out.
However, as soon as Li Qinzai and his subordinates left the Tang Army camp, the movements of the group had already fallen into the eyes of those who cared about it.
An urgent message flew to Pyongyang.
In just one day, a group of people came out of the city of Pyongyang, wearing the clothes of Tang fishermen, wearing hats and robes, and ran out of the city to the seashore and quietly got on several fishing boats.
The fishing boat left the port in the night and sailed to the port of Dengzhou in Datang.
At the same time, Li Qinzai and his entourage also boarded the big ship of the Tang Naval Division.
The sea ship set sail and headed for Dengzhou Port.
Li Qinzai sat in a wheelchair, with the ups and downs of the waves, looking at the vast sea level in the distance, and his mood was also agitated.
It's been more than half a year since I left home, and I don't know how the mother-in-law and children are at home.
In this half a year, Li Qinzai did not send very few letters to his family, only a few, in this era of inconvenient transportation, it is too difficult to send a letter to his family, especially across the sea, a letter to his family does not know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed.
Only in the Song Shujun newspaper presented to Li Zhi did Li Qinzai carry a letter from home and instructed the messengers to deliver them separately after arriving in Chang'an.
As for Cui Jiejinxiang's reply, it is impossible to count on it. The territory of Goguryeo was tossed and turned, and there was no fixed place to live, and letters could not be received at all.
Fortunately, he was about to return to Datang and saw his mother-in-law and baby, the more Li Qinzai thought about it, the more excited he became, and his breathing couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Xiao Yaga stood behind him, and when he saw that his body was a little strange, he couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"We're still far away from Dengzhou, why is my husband so excited? His face turned red......"
Li Qinzai tried to smile at her, and under Xiao Yaga's puzzled gaze, Li Qinzai suddenly opened his mouth......
"Wow, heckβ"
The man among the men, he vomited clearly.
