Chapter 566: Intelligence
As soon as Xue Wanche and Li Yuntian heard about the important task, they thought they were going to fight a tough battle! But guarding Liaodong City? Why does Liaodong City need to be guarded? Most of the defeated troops in Liaodong were killed, and the rest of the people fled from Liaodong in a hurry, did they dare to attack it? If you can't defend the city, how can you dare to attack the city? Seeing that Xue Wanche, Li Yuntian and others had disappointed looks on their faces, Li Yong said with a straight face.
"What's the most important thing about this crusade? Of course, the safety of the saint is the most important, so ah! Don't be careless! β
Xue Wanche and the others hurriedly hugged their fists.
"Don't worry, the last general will never be neglected!"
Li Yong groaned.
"Don't think that staying in Liaodong City will definitely be peaceful, Yuangai Suwen's army may attack at any time, so don't relax and be ready to fight at any time!"
Xue Wanche, Li Yuntian and the others couldn't help but light up when they heard this, and their hearts were looking forward to it, Yuan Gai Suwen, you can hold on! Of course, this can't be said, because looking forward to Yuan Gai Suwen's early arrival, wouldn't that be tantamount to putting the emperor in danger? To put it more seriously, this is ill-intentioned!
"Gentleman, don't worry! Our brothers in the Divine Machine Battalion are ready to fight at any time! β
said that he couldn't relax, when he walked out of the big tent, Li Yong also felt a sense of relief in his heart, although the atmosphere in Liaodong City was still very stagnant, but after all, there was no murderous feeling on the battlefield, Li Yong stretched his waist and felt that it was time to wash his clothes, this ten days were either in a hurry to march or fight, how could he have time to wash clothes! There was silence in the bedroom, Li Yong suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, before Jin Shengman ran to his bedroom as soon as he had time, he still felt annoyed, but now that Jin Shengman was not there, he suddenly felt unaccustomed again, men are this virtue, Li Yong threw the dirty clothes he had changed before into the basin, and the guard next to him hurriedly stepped forward, Li Yong waved his hand and prepared to do it himself, and then there was a sound of small footsteps outside, this footfoot, Li Yong is very familiar, it must be Jin Shengman with a maid, At this moment, Li Yong's mood is a little complicated, both a little relieved and a little worried, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift! Jin Shengman walked to the door of the dormitory, and saw Li Yong standing in front of the laundry tub at a glance, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he was surprised in his heart, and then he was a little embarrassed.
"It's me late!"
Jin Shengman was a little embarrassed and said, Li Yong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, what do you mean it's late? It's good to be able to help, this is not an agreement, however, for Jin Shengman, this is an agreement, Li Yong has already rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly said.
"No, no, I'll do it myself!"
"Then where can you do it, you are a person who does big things, how can you do such trivial things, this time is either a war or a rapid march, and I can't take care of you."
Jin Shengman looked embarrassed, and Li Yong smiled.
"Set up camp, eat, discuss the war, the night is already late, how can there be time! Besides, you've had a hard time! β
Jin Shengman shook his head slightly.
"I'm not working hard at all, I see that the army has been winning battles, and I am overjoyed to capture Liaodong City so quickly! I haven't thanked you yet! β
Li Yong asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Thank me? Thank me for what? I should thank you! β
Jin Shengman looked at Li Yong's eyes full of gratitude and a different look, and said seriously.
"Thanks to you, the army can attack the city so quickly, for the Tang Dynasty, you are the biggest hero, but for us Silla, you are our savior, the savior of thousands of people of Silla!"
Li Yong shook his head slightly.
"This expedition is indeed very smooth, unexpectedly smooth, I did make some contributions, but more importantly, the saints and saints, the soldiers are united, and the morale is like a rainbow."
Jin Shengman pouted slightly when she heard this, she felt that Li Yong was good at everything, but she was a little too modest, Jin Shengman had already rolled up her sleeves and started washing, and she didn't let Li Yong interfere, Li Yong could only stand by helplessly.
"After capturing Liaodong City so quickly, then Yuangai Suwen will retreat, right?"
When Jin Shengman asked this, there was still a little nervousness in his tone, and Li Yong nodded very affirmatively.
"It will definitely be, when the news of the fall of Liaodong reaches Pyongyang City, Gao Jianwu will definitely give an order immediately to let Yuangai Suwen return to his division!"
Jin Shengman breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, since Li Yong said so, then Yuangai Suwen will definitely retire, if you want to say who is the person she trusts the most, it must be Li Yong, there is no doubt that the Tang army captured Liaodong so quickly, and Yuangai Suwen must not have time to completely occupy Silla, so Silla can be saved, but after Jin Shengman was happy, he muttered with some concern.
"I don't know what happened to Jincheng? I don't know what happened to Sister Wang? β
Li Yong groaned.
"I recently got the news that Jincheng was not breached, but it was news ten days ago!"
In other words, ten days ago, Jinseong had not been breached by the Goguryeo army? Hearing this news, Jin Shengman's heart was very complicated, he felt relieved, but also very worried, of course, Jin Shengman was also surprised, because even the emperor didn't know the current situation in Jincheng, but he didn't expect Li Yong to know.
"How do you know?"
Jin Shengman asked curiously.
Of course, Li Yong can't say that he has an intelligence organization that is more powerful than the imperial court, right? So explained.
"I have a caravan! My caravan had come to Goguryeo before, and although it had withdrawn due to the war, someone had lurked, so they could send me some news. β
Jin Shengman listened with admiration.
"You were so prescient!"
Li Yong pretended to shake his head and smiled.
"What a foresight! It was just a coincidence, and originally wanted to expand the caravan to Goguryeo and make a little money. β
Jin Shengman said with a smile.
"I've heard that you and Yuangai Suwen are friends, so you still want him to take care of your caravan!"
Li Yong nodded slightly.
"That's the thing!"
"You didn't expect that Yuangai Suwen would be so wolf-like, but it would cause your caravan to suffer, but you can send the caravan to Silla!"
Jin Shengman smiled, and Li Yong was slightly stunned.
"Send a caravan to Silla?"
Jin Shengman nodded expectantly.
"Well, send a caravan to Silla, I can still talk in Silla, and I will definitely do my best to help you!"
It's not just what can be said, Kim Seungman is the heir of the queen, and he is the only heir, who dares not to give her face in Silla? With Kim Seung-man's care, the caravan would definitely be able to walk sideways in Silla. Jin Shengman looked at Li Yong with a look of hope, but Li Yong had a hesitant look on his face, the situation at the moment is more strange, Silla doesn't know how many trading houses want to beg Jin Shengman to take care of, but Jin Shengman ignores it, and at this moment, Jin Shengman is begging to take care of Li Yong's caravan, if this is known by outsiders, he will definitely drop his jaw in shock, seeing that Li Yong has not spoken, Jin Shengman looked up at Li Yong and asked with a look of hope.
"Okay?"
"We'll talk about it then!"
Li Yong pretended not to see the hopeful look in Jin Shengman's eyes, and did not agree immediately, Jin Shengman's eyes became a little resentful, does this need to be said at that time? Li Yong is very helpless! Why are you looking at me so resentfully? You're a princess! O the only heir to the throne of Silla! Can you not be so rushed! In fact, Li Yong doesn't care much about Jin Shengman's care, on the one hand, the Silla region is not large, the population is not large, and it is quite poor, so there is not much oil and water, on the other hand, Li Yong is also afraid that after Jin Shengman knows the inside story, he will turn his face with him, and when the time comes, not only will he not take care of his caravan, but he will also make a stumbling block for his caravan, so it is better not to agree from the beginning, but Jin Shengman is also a beautiful princess, and he has been stared at by that resentful eye, and he can't stand it if he is a man! And Li Yong is a man among men, of course it is impossible to be indifferent, Li Yong explained helplessly.
"The production of spirits and glass is limited, and neither is easy to transport, and Silla is too far away from Chang'an, so I need to think again."
"Spirits are really not easy to transport, but glassware is not big and it is not difficult to transport, and besides, there is plum tea! Datang has a lot of good things! If you bring it to Silla, you will be rich! And, don't you have a ship? You can go by sea! β
Jin Shengman said that the head was the Tao, as if he had thought about it countless times, Li Yong snorted and said with a smile.
"Say it again, say it again."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yong groaned.
"Actually! I'm not as good as you think, I'm a Datang person after all, and many times, it is natural that I should be on the side of Datang, so I hope that one day you don't hate me! β
Jin Shengman's hand rubbing his clothes stopped, and he looked up in confusion and asked.
"Hate you? How could I hate you? I'm grateful you're too late! I don't even know how to repay your great kindness! β
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Who can say what will happen in the future!"
Because Li Yong's layout of Silla has been arranged a long time ago, and the ending of Silla has long been doomed, it will become the territory of Datang, so Li Yong does not dare to contact this naΓ―ve girl too much. After a short period of war, Liaodong City has entered a calm again, although this calm is still a little depressing, but outside Liaodong, it has been rumored, because the news of the fall of Liaodong has already spread wildly, especially the people adjacent to Liaodong were stunned when they heard the news, they also knew that the Tang Army had entered Liaodong, but they never thought that Liaodong would fall so quickly, in their past, how could Liaodong hold on for two or three months, as a result, I'm afraid that I won't even hold on for ten days and fall, how is this possible? Even if the Tang army didn't attack the city and only marched, it would take almost ten days, right? Could it be that the defenders of the cities in Liaodong directly opened the city and surrendered? Otherwise, how could the Tang army capture the cities of Liaodong so quickly? Not to mention the cities of Jian'an and Gaimu, just Liaodong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at least it can hold on for a month or two! You must know that everyone's expectations for Liaodong are blocking the Tang Army for half a year! Half a year later, the army that conquered Silla returned to the division, and the Tang army was likely to withdraw to the Tang Dynasty, no one thought that in just a few days, Liaodong City would fall, Liaodong City would fall, that means that the Tang Army will soon attack the hinterland, who is not alarmed? Gao Yanshou led the defeated cavalry not to stay in the city outside Liaodong, but kept going to Pyongyang City, but Gao Yanshou did not only care about his own escape, after escaping the pursuit of the Tang army, he also calmed down without worrying about his life, and sent cavalry to report to the cities adjacent to Liaodong, reminding them to be careful of the Tang artillery, so although the ordinary people were panicked but did not know why Liaodong City fell so quickly, but the defenders of each city knew the inside story, it turned out that Liaodong fell so quickly, It's because the Tang Army has a sharp weapon for attacking the city - artillery! To tell the truth, they don't know anything about artillery, but they just heard the cavalry who reported that the artillery shook the mountains as soon as it sounded, and it was able to crack the city wall several miles away, and it could tear countless soldiers apart, and even the countless sand and gravel splashed up could beat the soldiers to death or injury, and the Tang army did not know how many artillery pieces they carried in this expedition, so that Jian'an City, Gaimu City, and Liaodong City were caught off guard, and they were all broken after holding on for a day, and the cavalry who reported the news also conveyed the ardent expectations of the northern Weisa Gao Yanshou Lord, I hope that everyone can take precautions as soon as possible, desperately hold the city, and strive to block the pace of the Tang army, as for Lord Weiza, of course, he will return to Pyongyang City as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with the king and the important ministers of the court, and the defenders of the cities are stunned after listening to the reports of the cavalry, is the artillery of the Tang army so powerful? Can you still hit the city wall from miles away? Can you still tear the city wall apart? Can it still be so lethal? It's hard to believe! Where in the world is there such a powerful siege weapon? But they had to believe it, otherwise how could Jian'an City, Gaimu City, and Liaodong City only hold on for one day and then fall? Not to mention Liaodong City, even Jian'an City and Gaimu City are ready to hold on, and it is absolutely impossible to hold on for only one day and be captured, unless, the artillery is really as powerful as the cavalry who reported the news, but if the artillery is really so powerful, then how can they defend the city? Even Liaodong City was breached after only one day, can they hold it? What's the trouble? So many artillery guns fired at the city wall directly, and they were still guarding a fart! All the generals of the cities who received the news were all panicked, desperate in their hearts, Gao Yanshou sent someone to report the news, specially praised the artillery of the Tang Army, the original artillery was seven points powerful, and it was directly said by Gao Yanshou to be twelve points powerful, Gao Yanshou did this, firstly, he wanted to shirk his responsibility for losing the city, the more powerful the artillery was said, the lighter his guilt, and secondly, Gao Yanshou also wanted to remind the guards of the cities, don't be careless, otherwise, This city couldn't even hold it for a while, and Liaodong City was captured so quickly, these generals were already shocked, and when they received this exaggerated information, they were even more panicked.
