The Goguryeo army outside the city suddenly retreated, not only the soldiers on the city wall thundered, but the people under the city heard the news, one by one they couldn't help cheering, these ten days have been a great torment for everyone in the city, the only dream in their hearts is that the city can hold on to the Goguryeo army retreat, and now, finally the dream has come true, this is a desperate life, the most surprising, although the Goguryeo people outside the city have gradually disappeared without a trace, but the queen has not left the city, she is afraid of the Goguryeo people to deceive, Go and return, sneak attack and siege the city, until the scout Pegasus sent out returns.

"King Qiyu, General Qiyu, the Goguryeo people have already drawn their camp and headed north!"

After listening to the scout's words, both the queen and the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, which showed that the Goguryeo people were really going to retreat, but this time, no one said that they were going to pursue the Goguryeo, because everyone held their breath to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and went to the city of Goguryeo to kill fiercely and take revenge.

"Although the Goguryeo people have retreated, don't let your guard down, you must send scouts to keep an eye on the traces of the Goguryeo people, and you have to be on duty day and night on the city wall, and once you find something wrong, you will immediately ring the bell to warn." The queen instructed.

At this time, there were people who hurried up to the city, this is a spy lurking in Goguryeo, and he has long come to the vicinity of Jincheng, but Jincheng is surrounded by the Goguryeo army, and he can't find a chance to enter the city at all, and now he sees from a distance that the Goguryeo people have retreated, so he hurried to the city and was able to enter the city.

"Your Majesty, the general, the little one has already found extremely important information, and he has long been outside the capital, but he has never found a chance to enter the city."

Extremely important information? It must be information related to Liaodong, the queen couldn't wait to ask.

"What information did you find? Is it related to Liaodong? Say it! ”

"King Qiqi, it is indeed the intelligence of Liaodong!"

Before he could finish speaking, General Park couldn't wait to ask.

"Sure enough, it's Liaodong's intelligence, what's going on in Liaodong?"

"Your Majesty, General, the Tang Emperor led an army of 150,000 into Liaodong, and it took only one day to capture Jian'an City, then another day to capture Gaimu City, and then another day to capture Liaodong City......"

The generals looked at each other, they guessed that the Tang army must have won the battle in Liaodong, but they didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, exaggerated to the point that it was hard to imagine, it was hard to believe, it only took one day to capture Jian'an City, they could imagine, it took another day to capture Gaimu City, it was hard to believe, it took another day to capture Liaodong City, this is simply impossible! That's Liaodong City! How could it be possible to capture Liaodong City in one day? Even with an army of millions, you can't do it! General Park asked incredulously.

"What you say is true?"

"It's true, of course it's true, it's true, it's all over the city of Pyongyang, everyone knows it, everyone knows it! Even the chief general of Liaodong, Gao Yanshou of the northern Weisa Gao, took back the city of Pyongyang, and the little one even saw him with his own eyes! ”

The queen took a deep breath to ease the surprise and excitement in her heart, and nodded repeatedly.

"That seems to be right, if it weren't for that, how could Yuangai Suwen retreat so hastily?"

In fact, everyone also believed it, but they still felt incredible, whether it was Liaodong City, Gaimu City or Jian'an City, the Tang Army actually took only one day to break through, how is this possible? The Tang Army is inevitably too strong, right? It's too strong, think about how badly they were beaten by the Goguryeo people, and Goguryeo was beaten very badly by the Tang Dynasty, so is the strength of their Silla and Datang too far behind? How did Datang do it? How could it be that it took only one day to capture Liaodong City? Jian'an City and Gaimu City can still be said to be sneak attacks, how can it be impossible to attack Liaodong City again? Could it be that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to fly? flew directly to the city, otherwise they really couldn't understand how they could capture Liaodong City in just one day.

"Do you know how the Tang army captured Liaodong City?"

General Park couldn't help but ask.

"I know, every citizen in Pyongyang knows that it is because the artillery of the Tang Army is very powerful, and it is a sharp weapon for attacking the city and pulling out the village, and it can't be resisted at all!"

Artillery? Most people are confused, what is artillery? This thing sounds a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while, is this thing so powerful? The queen said abruptly.

"Artillery? Lone remembers that it was a weapon made by Li Yong, the prince of Rongfu County of the Tang Dynasty, and I heard that the sound was like thunder, and it was extremely powerful, and the Tang Emperor attached great importance to it, and also set up a yamen called the firearms supervisor for this purpose, but I didn't expect that the artillery would be so powerful! ”

Although they have not seen it with their own eyes, everyone understands that the firearms must be very powerful, otherwise it would not be possible for the Tang army to capture Liaodong City in only one day, General Park muttered.

"If the artillery of the Tang Dynasty is really so powerful, then the army of Goguryeo has really retreated."

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in unison when they heard this, this is equivalent to a fire in the backyard, can they hurry back? Hearing this, a smile appeared on the queen's face, this was the first time in months that a smile appeared on her face, and the queen smiled.

"The artillery of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, even Liaodong City was breached in only one day, how can Goguryeo resist? The city behind can't stop it at all! ”

General Park laughed.

"The king is right, Goguryeo is not just a fire in the backyard, this fire is simply too fierce!"

The generals on the city wall all laughed, and now they have a feeling in their hearts, happy, too happy, the worse Goguryeo is beaten, the more happy they feel, and Goguryeo will definitely gather all the forces to resist the attack of the Tang army, in this way, when they reorganize their troops and horses to counterattack Goguryeo, they will definitely be able to win consecutive battles, fight Goguryeo, and vent all the humiliation suffered in the past few months, the queen left the city wall and returned to the palace, because one of her hearts finally fell to the ground, Jincheng was saved, Silla was saved, Goguryeo did withdraw the army, the unmistakable retreat, the news spread rapidly in Jincheng, I don't know how many people were excited with tears, these ten days, up to the queen down to the ordinary people, all of them actively participated in the defense of the city, as much as possible to contribute, and now, all the efforts have not been in vain, with the withdrawal of Yuangai Suwen, countless Silla people rejoiced as if they were in a desperate situation, Silla is in ruins, Chang'an, thousands of miles away, the same joy, the whole world celebrates, Because the cavalry of the victory came to Chang'an City again, and this time the good news was even more amazing, the army only took one day to break through Liaodong City, you know, it was Liaodong City! When the previous two good news came, the officials of the DPRK and China generally believed that the next attack on Liaodong City would not be as smooth as before, and it would take more effort to defeat it, and the people in Chang'an City also agreed very much, after all, Liaodong City was not comparable to Jian'an City and Gaimu City, but they never thought that the army would capture Liaodong City in only one day, in the final analysis, it was still a sentence, the artillery was too special, Li Yong was too awesome, They suddenly felt that the civil officials in the court didn't seem to be very good, all of them were beaten in the face, even Wei Zheng, a well-known important minister in the government and the opposition, was slapped in the face, from last winter to now, they have been slapped in the face, tsk, it's miserable to think about, however, the people don't have time to laugh at these civil officials who have been slapped in the face, they have time to celebrate this series of glorious victories, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian has a smile on his face, looking very happy, In fact, when he learned for the first time that the army had captured Liaodong City in only one day, his whole person froze, because the army captured Liaodong City, which meant that Goguryeo would retreat from Silla, which meant that the task of his father's imperial expedition was successfully completed, since the purpose of the expedition had been achieved, the father would naturally lead the army to triumph, and the father would lead the army to triumph, which also meant that his days of supervising the country were coming to an end, which was too reluctant, but what he didn't expect was that His father did not plan to withdraw his troops, but planned to continue to attack Goguryeo, which made him overjoyed.

"It only took one day for the army to capture Liaodong City, what an unexpected joy, congratulations! It's just, why didn't the saint withdraw his troops? As long as Liaodong City is captured, Goguryeo will definitely withdraw from Silla, and the purpose of this expedition has been achieved, so why continue to go deeper? The lone army is deep, and there is a danger of overturning! The Eastern Crusade went so smoothly that the saints and the soldiers who went out to the expedition despised the Goguryeo people because of this, which is very inappropriate! We should write together to advise the sages, it is not appropriate to continue to go deeper, we should stick to Liaodong, force Goguryeo to withdraw from Silla, and achieve the goal of rescuing Silla! ”

Wei Zheng said loudly, Chu Suiliang and the others nodded when they heard it, since the goal of rescuing Silla has been achieved, there is no need to take any more risks, although Li Chengqian still has a smile on his face, but he is scolding in his heart, Wei Lao Pifu, shut up, you girl, my father wants to go east, if you want to go deeper, continue to go deeper, you old man is a fart! It's because the slap in the face doesn't hurt enough, how can it be dropped? Of course, Li Chengqian can't say that he doesn't want his father to triumph, and he doesn't want to lose the opportunity to supervise the country, Li Chengqian muttered.

"We are far away in Chang'an, after all, we don't know what the situation in Liaodong is, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions, maybe my father has other deep meanings."

Kong Yingda pouted his beard and said.

What can it mean? Wasn't this crusade to save Silla? Knowing that after conquering Liaodong, Goguryeo would inevitably withdraw its troops from Silla, so why do you need to continue to go deeper? It must have been the generals who went out to fight the expedition to see that the Eastern Crusade was going so smoothly and wanted to make more meritorious deeds, so they encouraged the saints to continue to attack Goguryeo in depth! ”

"Master Kong is right, we must write a letter to persuade the saints, there is no need to continue to move troops in depth, it will only cost the people, lose money, and lose the generals, and it will be useless for the country!"

"Yes, yes, I'll wait for this to write a book to persuade the saint!"

Seeing that the ministers in the hall quickly decided to write to the emperor together, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the final analysis, it was because he was only the prince in charge of the country, and he couldn't suppress these ministers at all. Li Chengqian got up and commanded.

"Go out of the palace with the main palace!"

"Your Highness, do you want to prepare a ceremonial ride?"

The chamberlain next to him asked, and Li Chengqian shook his head.

"No need, just take a few loyal guards with you!"

The dignified prince Li Chengqian left the palace wearing only his usual clothes, surrounded by twenty or thirty guards, and now the people of Chang'an City are in the midst of a carnival of celebrating the great victory, and everyone can hear everyone's excited discussions everywhere.

"The saint is really worthy of the saint of heaven! It only took one day to capture Liaodong City! ”

"Of course! Today's saints swept the world with iron horses, and the ability to lead troops to fight can be poor? ”

"The sage's ability to lead troops to fight was unparalleled in the world at that time, but the ability of the Duke of Rongfu County was also rare in the world, if it weren't for the cannon made by Rongfu County, the Eastern Crusade would not have been so smooth!"

"Yes, yes, Rongfu County is really the world's Wenqu star! Specially to assist the saint to revitalize the Tang Dynasty! ”

Listening to the discussion around him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, I don't know if the people of Chang'an will also talk about him like this in the future, hearing that the people are still praising Li Yong, he is not quite a taste in his heart, he really loves and hates Li Yong, loves Li Yong's peerless talent, hates Li Yong and ignores him as a prince, if Li Yong can be used by him, how good it would be? Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Li Chengqian slipped in quietly from the corner gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, and then Li Chengqian, under the leadership of a small servant, came to the secluded study with familiarity.

"Why did Your Highness come all of a sudden? Your Royal Highness is in charge of the country, and you should pay more attention to your behavior! ”

Hou Junji said lightly, Li Chengqian sat down opposite and said in a deep voice.

"Guogong must know that it only took one day for my father to lead the army to capture Liaodong City!"

Since the cavalry of the victory entered the city, the news of the victory spread wildly in Chang'an, Hou Junji nodded slightly.

"Artillery is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city, and it has lived up to the expectations of the saints, Li Yong is indeed a great talent!"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.

"Then the prince knows that his father captured Liaodong City, and he did not plan to withdraw his troops, but continued to march to attack Goguryeo!"
