Chapter 564: Liaodong Good News
Just when everyone was happy, Zhang Shigui strode in and said respectfully.
"Qi Qi sage, the last general was ordered to pursue the enemy army who escaped from the city, but the last general was ashamed, let the northern Weisa Gao Yanshou escape, the sage has an order, let the last general pursue twenty miles and return, so the last general did not dare to disobey the order and continue to chase!"
If you can catch up with the northern Daisa, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement, but unfortunately, Gao Yanshou's personal soldiers blessed him to get out of the encirclement, this northern Weisa is not very good at martial arts, but there are really a lot of personal soldiers, and all of them are elite soldiers, but they are very hardworking, Zhang Shigui feels very regretful, not only he feels regretful, but many generals in the hall feel very regretful, however, Li Er did not have a regretful look on his face, and said with a smile.
"Gao Yanshou was born in a famous family to be in a high position, in fact, his ability is mediocre, and he is timid and cowardly, but he is so happy, he is a good person who has more than enough success and more than failure, and it is not much benefit to catch him, maybe there will be greater benefits if he is released."
Although he has not seen Gao Yanshou, through this war, Li Er has seen Gao Yanshou thoroughly, and the eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.
"What the sage said is that although Gao Yanshou lost Liaodong City, the Gao family is deeply rooted in Goguryeo, and he will definitely be able to get rid of his crimes, and maybe he can continue to lead the army!"
Li Yong listened to it and inexplicably remembered a figure in history, that is, Li Jinglong, when Emperor Jianwen was in trouble, he entrusted Li Jinglong with a heavy task to lead the army, and as a result, Li Jinglong was defeated in successive battles, and later Zhu Di became the Son of Heaven, rewarding Li Jinglong very generously, ranking first among the ministers, Li Yong smiled.
"If Gao Yanshou still leads the troops, then he can be regarded as a meritorious minister, and the saint may as well make him an official, and it will not be in vain for his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"If he really understands the affairs of the times and returns to a certain person, with the battle of Liaodong City, a certain person will also reward him!"
The generals in the hall couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, they were rewarded for losing the battle, this is not a glorious thing, there is nothing to envy, Chang'an has already been warm, and the cavalry who reported the victory finally arrived in Chang'an City.
"Liaodong good news!"
The cavalry galloped across the Vermilion Bird Avenue, leaving only a hoarse and joyful shout, the people who heard this on the long street were all stunned, and then they were sincerely surprised, since the emperor drove the expedition, there has been no news of Liaodong, the officials and people of Chang'an are still a little worried, although the emperor brought a group of famous generals in the court, but only brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now when they hear the news of the victory in Liaodong, the people who hear it have a feeling of relief, The cavalry who reported the victory came to the palace, and the officials in the official offices of the three provinces and six departments were excited. Although before the expedition, most of the civil officials were opposed to the expedition, and even made a lot of trouble about it, but when the emperor really drove the expedition in person, they also hoped from the bottom of their hearts that the army would triumph, so when they heard the news of the good news, the ministers let go of their suspense.
"What's the good news?"
"The army captured Jian'an City in less than a day!"
"What? Captured Jian'an City in less than a day? ”
"Jian'an City is not a small city, Goguryeo has always attached great importance to Jian'an City, not only has a large army been arranged, but also very well prepared!"
"Not to mention that when the Sui Dynasty went on an expedition to the east, it took a lot of effort for the vanguard to capture Jian'an City!"
"It took the saint less than a day to capture Jian'an City, which is really remarkable!"
"I don't know if our army is too strong, but the current Goguryeo army is too weak?"
"I heard that the artillery made a great contribution, and the defenders of Jian'an City were directly stunned!"
It's a good start! And it is a good start that can't be better, if it can go on so smoothly, it would be even better, Li Chengqian's face is very ruddy, since the army was launched, he, the prince, began to be ordered to supervise the country, although there are still all kinds of restrictions, although he has to send all the political affairs to Liaodong, but he also feels a little bit of the taste of being the son of heaven, just this taste has already made Li Chengqian addicted, so he was very surprised when he received the good news, In addition to the psychology of being a Tang person, he also has his own careful thoughts, if the army is unfavorable, it means that the army will return to the Tang Dynasty, then he will naturally not be able to continue to supervise the country, if the army wins consecutive battles, the army will naturally continue to fight, and he, the prince, can continue to supervise the country, so Li Chengqian, who received the good news, was very happy and couldn't help but be happy.
"Okay, good, great, this palace is still in suspense! Father's royal expedition is really invincible! ”
Wei Zheng, who has always been straight-faced, couldn't help but smile at this time, the Eastern Crusade had a great impact on the Tang Dynasty, if the Eastern Crusade went well, the benefits to the Tang Dynasty were self-evident, the reason why he opposed the Eastern Crusade was just that he was worried that the Eastern Crusade would fail, and now the emperor drove the expedition in person and won the first battle, he was relieved, Wei Zheng smiled.
"The Divine Machine Camp has really made a great contribution! Artillery is really a weapon for siege! If there was no Shenji Battalion, Lao Chen would not have agreed with the saint's personal expedition, and the Shenji Battalion did not live up to Lao Chen's expectations. ”
Li Chengqian had also seen the spectacular scene of a hundred cannons firing at once, and nodded with a smile.
"Yes! With artillery, the Emperor's Father's Imperial Expedition is like a tiger with wings! ”
Not to mention Li Chengqian, just after the cavalry Pegasus galloped into Chang'an City, Xishan Villa also quickly got the news, Li Liqing lost a lot, after receiving the good news, she had a rare smile on her face, and hurriedly invited Wu Cao and them over, and shared the good news of the good news with everyone, she knew that these days, Wu Cao and they were as worried as her.
"In less than a day, Jian'an City was captured, and the Shenji Battalion made a great achievement, and the morale of the defenders of Jian'an City hit by artillery was completely lost."
Li Lizhi said with a smile on her face, although she didn't care if Li Yong could make meritorious contributions, and only hoped that Li Yong could come back safely, but Li Yong really made a great contribution, of course she was sincerely happy, Wu Cao and the others were all happy when they heard it, and Wu Cao asked with concern.
"Princess, I wonder if there is a letter from my grandfather?"
Li Li said with a smile.
"I'm going to the palace to ask! I know that you are all worried, so I will tell you first, so that you can also be happy! ”
Wu Cao's eyes lit up when they heard it, of course they wanted to see Li Yong's letter now, Wu Cao and they immediately urged Li Lizhen to enter the palace, Li Lizhen herself couldn't wait, she had already ordered people to prepare the car, the mighty car left the Xishan Courtyard and went to the palace, all the way you could hear the people talking, all of them were excited, yes, the good news came, like a gust of wind spread throughout Chang'an, everyone who heard it was happy and excited, sure enough, The emperor has not lost a battle since he ascended the throne! What about Goguryeo? Haven't you won the first battle yet? And it didn't take a day to capture Jian'an City, and Goguryeo was not as terrible as he said! On this day, Chang'an, the people were boiling, hundreds of people rejoiced, looking forward to the war behind, they hoped that the army could win the battle, a day passed, the thousands of people in Chang'an have not calmed down from the excitement, and there are cavalry galloping towards Chang'an City.
"Liaodong good news!"
"Liaodong good news!"
The people of Chang'an City were stunned when they heard this, didn't they just come with a good news yesterday? Why is there another good news today? The war shouldn't be so fast, right? Not to mention the siege, the siege is more time-consuming, is it a repeated success? Why is this good news repeated? However, the truth is that the good news is not repeated, this is a genuine new good news, the army of the expedition captured Gaimu City in one day, and the officials of the six ministries who heard the news were stunned, and there was an unbelievable feeling, although when they were in the army, they also thought that the emperor would win consecutive battles, but they never expected to win so quickly, and captured Jian'an City in one day, and it took another day to capture Gaimu City, when did the good news become so frequent? Goguryeo is obviously a strong country! How is it like fighting a small country, in this good news, the Shenji Battalion has made a great contribution again, and directly stunned the defenders of Gaimu City, and now, they are a little confused, whether the artillery of the Shenji Battalion is too powerful, or the defenders of Goguryeo are too grassy, no matter what, everyone feels very surprised in their hearts.
"It seems that this expedition is much smoother than we thought!"
"That's not it, attacking a city a day, can it not go well?"
"How many cities can Goguryeo have? One city is not enough to fight on this day! ”
Not only the officials of the six ministries were thinking about this issue, but in the Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian was also thinking about this issue, but compared to the excitement and happiness of others, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.
"I didn't expect that! On this day, a city, Goguryeo is not resistant to fighting! There aren't many cities! ”
Although Li Chengqian's face was full of smiles, there was a trace of melancholy in his expression that could not be concealed.
Wei Zheng groaned.
"The sage's army fought two battles and two victories, and easily captured Jian'an City and Gaimu City, in fact, there was a surprise factor, the artillery appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and the enemy army was caught off guard, but slowly, the Goguryeo army will adapt to it, so the army may not be so smooth next, especially Liaodong City is an important town in Goguryeo, not only the city wall is high and thick, but also heavily guarded!"
This is really good, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and almost didn't say hello directly, Li Chengqian forced the surprise in his heart and said loudly.
"My father is eloquent and strategic, the generals are unstoppable, and there are siege weapons such as artillery, this palace thinks that the army will definitely be able to capture Liaodong City!"
Wei Zheng nodded.
"The army can quickly capture Jian'an City and Gaimu City, which shows that our army has a great advantage, as long as the soldiers calm down and fight, of course they will be able to capture Liaodong City, I am afraid that the saints and soldiers will have contempt for Goguryeo because these two battles are too smooth!"
What is Wei Zheng best at? Of course, it's pouring cold water! At this time, Wei Zheng felt very sorry that he did not go out with the car, if he could drive with him, he would be able to persuade the sage, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard it, and his heart was also a little nervous, at this moment his heart was very contradictory, he didn't want the imperial army to go too smoothly, and he didn't want the army to fail, Li Chengqian frowned.
"What can I do about this?"
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister wants to write a letter to meet the saint, and ask His Royal Highness to send someone to Liaodong urgently!"
"Okay, then there's Lord Lao Wei!"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time he was very emotional, Wei Zheng is really a direct minister! When the army won consecutive battles, but the book advised, the whole court was afraid of what Wei Zheng dared to do, compared to the people in Chang'an City, Li Tai soon got the exact news of the second good news, Li Tai who got the news was excited to dance with his hands, so smoothly connected the two cities, it was too exciting, Li Tai looked forward to the army to rescue Silla as soon as possible, and looked forward to the army to triumph soon, the sooner the better, because the prince was in charge of the country, he always had some trouble sleeping, and he danced with his hands, Li Tai suddenly sighed deeply, with a stunned face, The little eunuch next to him also looked happy, and when he saw King Wei's face suddenly became stunned, he asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong with Your Highness?"
Li Tai sighed.
"In this Eastern Crusade, Li Yong has made a great contribution! What a showman! ”
The little eunuch wondered.
"Your Highness, isn't it good for the Rongfu County Public Government to make great contributions?"
Li Tai shook his head slightly.
"Of course it's good, it's just a little regretful!"
The little eunuch was even more confused when he heard it, what regrets could the Rongfu County Public Government have made great contributions?
Li Tai sighed.
"It would be nice if this king also followed Li Yong on the expedition!"
While sighing, Li Tai's small eyes that only had a slit left emitted a longing light, and it took less than a day to capture Jian'an City, and less than a day to capture Gaimu City, you can imagine how beautiful the Shenji Camp is, if he knew this, he should have gone out with the car even if he died and begged Bailai, and then stayed in the Shenji Camp, if this is the case, then he will also be stained, and he can be stained with the boss's light! The little eunuch whispered.
"At the beginning, didn't the saint not let His Highness go with him?"
How can you drop if you don't agree? That's because he didn't let it out, if he really let it out, he knelt in front of the Ganlu Hall and cried, and he couldn't cry all the time if he didn't let him go out with the car, and he didn't believe that his father could bear to let him kneel and cry all the time, that is, doing so was tantamount to playing a scoundrel, and it was really embarrassing, so he didn't do it, of course, it was because he didn't expect the Eastern Crusade to go so smoothly, and he didn't expect the cannons of the Shenji Battalion to directly beat the Koreans unconscious, if he had known that this was the case, then even if he knelt in front of the Ganlu Hall and cried, he would have to follow the Eastern Expedition together! It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now!
