Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 864 Take the opportunity to rest

Thanks to Cheng Yaojin's big mouth, the news that Liaodong was about to change quickly spread among the ruling and opposition parties.

Coupled with the confirmation of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, the ruling and opposition parties are even more convinced of this.

This somewhat quiet winter suddenly became hot, the civil servants were worried and worried, and the generals wrote to ask for troops!

Even the folks are talking about it. Although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty were defeated not long ago, the common people in the market are still resentful about it.

Over the years, the national power of the Tang Dynasty has been flourishing, the Western Regions have flourished, and all directions have come to court. The people in Chang'an have all straightened their backs and behaved. Now they suddenly heard that Goguryeo took the initiative to provoke, it is simply unbearable!

"You don't know, the three expeditions to Goryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, each time mobilized millions of troops and recruited countless husbands, causing chaos in the world, unparalleled casualties, and still failed to take down Goguryeo!"

"Bah! Emperor Sui Yang is the king of subjugation, can he compare with His Majesty today?"

"That's true!"

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was besieged by the Turks at Yanmen Pass! Our Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, so can it be the same?"

"That's true! Not only His Majesty's sages, but also many virtuous ministers and famous generals in our court!"

"There is also Rong Guogong, Rong Guogong is not only a genius, but also a strange person!"

"If you mention Rong Guogong, don't mention muskets and cannons. They will definitely beat the Goguryeo people to pieces!"

Although the mention of Sui Yangdi's three Eastern Expeditions made people gasp, but after discussing it, the common people felt that the national power of the current Tang Dynasty was no longer comparable to that of the previous Sui Dynasty.

And now the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, there are many virtuous ministers and famous generals, and there are even monsters like Rong Guogong.

The most important thing is that people are calling at your door, so you can't be cowardly no matter what!

While the ruling and opposition parties were arguing, Su Cheng was very calm and showed no signs of aggrieved.

Not only Su Cheng was a little calm, but even the emperor was a little calm, but from time to time, he issued some orders to transfer troops, food and grass, and all of them were carried out very smoothly.

There was no voice of opposition from the government and the opposition, not even Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was also a courtier who experienced the battles at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and he was not afraid of war. If Goguryeo took the initiative to provoke the war, the most important thing is that the government and the public unite to blow Goguryeo's dog head!

Hit hard!It hurts!They fought so hard that they never dared to start a war lightly!

Civil servants take care of government affairs, and military generals are gearing up to show off their skills.

The ruling and opposition parties are waiting for the urgent report from Liaodong.

Xue Wanche came straight to Sujiazhuang on horseback.

"Duke, the urgent report from Liaodong should be here soon?" Xue Wanche asked furtively.

Liaodong urgent report?Liaodong urgently report a hair!

The subjects of Datang were afraid of attacking Goguryeo, but Goguryeo was afraid of being attacked by Datang.

Although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty failed, Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses and almost perished. Today, the national power of the Tang Dynasty is still higher than that of the former Sui Dynasty.

Goguryeo rulers and ministers were very wary of Datang, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to attack Datang. How could there be an urgent report?

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Who knows when the urgent report will come!"

Xue Wanche said anxiously: "If you want to march eastward, then the Duke must be the deputy general manager. I would like to be the Duke's vanguard!"

Su Cheng is a little confused, why am I the deputy manager?

The emperor will personally lead the conquest, where did these rumors come from?It's also passed on in a decent way!

But there are some things that I can't explain to Xue Wanche. Su Cheng smiled and said, "You just came back from Jiangnan in autumn, and you still want to go to war? Don't take a lot of rest, spend more time with Princess Danyang!"

Take more rest?

On the one hand, he missed the feeling of galloping on the battlefield, but on the other hand, he wanted to rest!

Yes, he went out to fight on the battlefield just to take the opportunity to rest.

Of course, it's not easy to say this to Su Cheng.

Xue Wanche hurriedly said: "There is no need to rest. I just went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and I am not tired at all! I don't need to rest at all. Of course, I, Xue Wanche, want to fight on the battlefield, so I can live up to my bravery!"

What Xue Wanche said was right. When galloping all the way down the south of the Yangtze River, he did not feel tired. He felt refreshed and his muscles and bones were active while galloping all the way.

On the contrary, sometimes my legs are a little soft in Chang'an.

Su Cheng didn't think much about it. A strong general like Xue Wanche was born to fight on the battlefield, so it's normal to be eager to go.

Moreover, Su Cheng felt that Xue Wanche would definitely go with the army if Li Shimin went to the expedition himself.

Firstly, wouldn't it be a pity for a fierce general like Xue Wanche to stay in Chang'an?

Secondly, Xue Wanche was once Li Jiancheng's confidant general, so of course it is most appropriate for him to go with the army.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "That's right, you were born to fight on the battlefield, it would be a pity if you stayed in Chang'an!"

"Don't worry, if you go out, you must have your share!"

Xue Wanche didn't think much about it. He thought Su Cheng meant that if Su Cheng went out to fight, he would definitely take him with him.

Xue Wanche breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said happily, "Thank you, Duke! Thank you, Duke!"

Old Xue is so honest, Su Cheng was really embarrassed, so he could only laugh and say, "Who are we with? Do we need to be so polite?"

Xue Wanche scratched his head when he heard this, and was moved for a while. To Su Cheng, he had the feeling that he would die for his confidant, and Su Cheng really didn't say anything to him, which was very kind.

If Su Chengruo goes to war, then he is willing to be the striker under Su Cheng's command, and he will help Su Cheng win a big battle no matter what.

Xue Wanche went back happily, and was ready to go out, because he guessed that the urgent report from Liaodong would arrive soon.

Not only Xue Wanche thought so, but all the generals in the court felt so, and wrote letters requesting to go out.

They felt that they couldn't wait for the urgent report from Liaodong before going out. When the army arrived in Liaodong, the day lily was cold!

At that time, Goguryeo's army might have captured the city long ago, and even if they couldn't capture the city, they would burn, kill and loot.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for the urgent report from Liaodong, and just send troops directly.

Of course, Li Shimin ignored the memorial to the petition for war. What is the reason for sending troops? There is no war in Liaodong now, and there is no urgent report. He just wants to prepare food and grass in advance, but he doesn't want to send troops to Liaodong in advance.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others couldn't bear it and ran to the palace. Li Shimin only said lightly after hearing this that he still doesn't know what's going on in Liaodong, and he will wait for the urgent report.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were a little confused. It doesn't matter what the situation in Liaodong is, it's over if they just send troops!

Even if there is an urgent report from Liaodong to Chang'an, Liaodong is so far away from Chang'an, the situation on the urgent report is also the situation in Liaodong before.
