Chang'an City

"Liaodong Victory, Liaodong Victory......"

The people of the capital were shopping on the street, and suddenly the news came from the city gate, Sanming's cavalry on horseback came from outside the city, with two small red flags behind them, they were coming back from the front line, so they were qualified to ride across Chang'an City.

There are also various rules for messengers from other places to enter Beijing, if it is just an ordinary letter, then you have to dismount when you arrive at the gate of Chang'an City, and you have to let the people at the city gate check it, so that you can enter the city.

But if there is a loss at the front, then you people don't have to say anything, ride to the city gate, pass the news, and your mission will be completed.

Only this kind of victory has been achieved, then the generals on the front line will choose to have a loud voice and let them shout all the way back from the front line, and the people around will naturally be more convinced of the court after hearing the news.

How long have our soldiers and horses been gone? Is there already a big victory in Liaodong? Many ordinary people are very happy on their faces, but there are also some people with worries on their faces, the last time Li Shimin went east to Goguryeo, at the beginning it was all kinds of like the capital to report success, but after fighting for a while, we actually failed......

Of course, the imperial court did not explain this, and it is estimated that the imperial court of any country will not be able to admit its own defeat, which is purely a problem with the brain, but the common people can analyze it, so many troops followed out at the beginning, and more than half of the people did not come back, and the imperial court still tracked down Goguryeo spies in the city at every turn.

If we do win, do we still need to care about these Goguryeo spies? Let their king give an order, these Goguryeo will come out on their own when they see the details, and the common people with brains have analyzed it very well, and we were defeated last time.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has won successive battles, and now he has occupied Anshi, with more than 300,000 prisoners and more than 40,000 beheaded, and the captives are already on their way back."

When a few soldiers arrived at the place where the personnel were frolicking, they immediately repeated these words, and the faces of many worried people also relaxed, there was no actual thing in the last victory, but there are actual things in this victory, more than 300,000 prisoners, this is not a joke, even if His Highness is capable, he can't conjure these prisoners out of thin air, so this time we are a real victory.

"Our Highness is really capable, how long has it been since we walked, and this has already reached that An? I've heard that the emperor was ...... last time."

"Shut up, drank two taels of cat urine, I don't know what your last name is, right? Are these things for us ordinary people to discuss? ”

A few people who were drinking in the restaurant also discussed, fortunately, there was another person who had a good amount of alcohol, so he didn't let one of them say it, now Chang'an City is full of secret agents, if you say something wrong, it is very likely that these people on the table will be affected, even if we have won now, we have to be quiet when we discuss, and be careful that the wall has ears.

Li Shimin, who was in the palace, also received this good news, for Li Shimin, it was normal for Goguryeo to win, originally he wanted to wash away his shame by driving the expedition, but later because of Li Xiang's series of actions, Li Shimin had no interest in the imperial expedition, so he arranged for Li Xiang to conquer on behalf of the sky.

According to Li Shimin's thoughts, the victory is also certain, but this victory has come too quickly, from Li Xiang left Chang'an City to now, counting the days, that is, he has just arrived in Liaodong, not to mention fighting with the people of Goguryeo, even if you put on a posture, it will take ten days and a half a month to appear, and now you have won Anshi?

Li Shimin was very suspicious of this matter, and there were many people in the imperial court who were suspicious, but the soldiers from the front took out some things, some of which were the seals of the governor of Goguryeo's NATO, some were the seals of the Taishou of various cities, and some were letters to and from Goguryeo.

In another baggage, two swords were taken from the Goguryeo king, and you must know that in the entire history of the Goguryeo Dynasty, there were only five swords given by the Goguryeo king.

"Emperor Qiqi, the lord of Goguryeo Chenbing is in Jiangbei, and he has been captured by our army, and His Royal Highness has sent an army to transport it to Beijing."

Li Xiang knew that Li Shimin's heart was uncomfortable, and when Li Xiang brought back a beautiful woman from the Tubo Plateau last time, Li Shimin's heart was uncomfortable, so this time Li Xiang learned to be obedient, and finally captured the county lord of Goguryeo, so he simply asked people to send it back, and Li Xiang had also seen it, that look......

Anyway, Li Xiang didn't like it, so he simply came back with the captives, as for what Li Shimin was willing to do, it was Li Shimin's own business.

"The three of you are sent in for merit, go down to rest, and reward ......"

After having this county lord, Li Shimin's mood was obviously much higher, and some of the ministers below were not surprised, everyone was a man, especially the highest-ranking man in this dynasty, what was it to have a few more women? Isn't that what wars are fought for? The wife and daughter of the king of the other party must be served, and this is the glory of the victor.

"Emperor Qiqi, a few days ago, the Dengzhou Navy Division reported urgently, saying that they had discovered the envoy of Goguryeo, because His Royal Highness Taisun blocked the defense line of the entire Datong River, so their envoy could not come by land, so they came by water......"

An official of the Ministry of Rites reported another matter, this was the envoy of Goguryeo's peace request, and they had already done their best in Liaodong, but Li Xiang did not talk to them at all, so Li Xian, the king of the Han River, did not dare to cross the river.

Everyone thought that Li Shimin would ask Li Xiang to stop for a moment and then see what the Goguryeo envoy said, but then Li Shimin's behavior ......

Li Shimin did not answer directly, but instead took out the sword next to him and directly cut off the corner of the table next to him with a sword.

"Destroy the ...... of Goguryeo"

The four words that are very calm let everyone understand what Li Shimin was thinking in his heart, the humiliation that Li Shimin received in Goguryeo back then, many people have forgotten it now, but Li Shimin himself will not forget it.

Li Shimin has been traveling south and north for so many years, and has fought hundreds of wars, large and small, but Goguryeo let him go to Maicheng, so Li Shimin has an itch of hatred for this country......
