Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 865 A Big Problem

Did the emperor think that the defenders of Liaodong could withstand the attack of the Goguryeo army?

However, the imperial court did not deploy many troops in Liaodong, because the imperial court's focus has always been on the Western Regions.

Although Goguryeo and Datang were wary of each other, no major conflicts broke out.

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin and the others felt that since Goguryeo suddenly invaded the border, it must be well prepared, and it would be difficult for the defenders in Liaodong to resist.

Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the combat power of the Goguryeo people is really not weak, and the severe cold and hardship have tempered their strong will, otherwise they would not be able to resist the attack of a million troops three times.

Taking a step back, even if the Liaodong defenders resisted Goguryeo's attack, they should send troops!

If you get punched by someone, even if you block it, you should return it!Double it back!

Can't someone call, just block it, right?

So Cheng Yaojin and the others were very puzzled, why did they have to wait?

But since His Majesty said so, they can only wait. Fortunately, the urgent report from Liaodong will definitely come soon.

The ruling and opposition parties, and even the entire Chang'an people are waiting for the urgent report from Liaodong.

Wait, wait, wait...

One day, two days, three days, four days...

Why hasn't the urgent report come yet?

Even the guards at the city gate felt hopeless.

Did the defenders of Liaodong really resist the attack of the Goguryeo army?

But, it's not right!

Even if the Liaodong defenders really resisted the attack of the Goguryeo army, they must report to the court.

There is a war with a neighboring country, which is a top priority. It makes no sense that there has been no movement until now!

Could it be that Goguryeo moved too slowly?

Then wait a little longer.

Another day, two days, three days...

No, why is it almost Chinese New Year?

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong went straight to Sujiazhuang.

"Boy Su, why has there been no urgent report from Liaodong?" Cheng Yaojin asked straight to the point.

These days, he and Yu Chigong fought quite a lot, for no other reason than to fight for the position of chief executive.

Although they knew that it was not up to them, the two always started fighting out of nowhere and couldn't help it.

Su Cheng spread his hands and said: "There is no urgent report from Liaodong, how would I know that!"

"What do you mean you don't know? Didn't you say that Goguryeo is mobilizing troops?" Yuchi Gong asked anxiously.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "I said so! Goguryeo is indeed mobilizing troops!"

Cheng Yaojin asked, "Then why didn't you report urgently?"

Su Cheng spread his hands and said, "I'm not the guard of Liaodong, how do I know?"

This is true!

Cheng Yaojin wondered: "Could it be that the urgent report hasn't been delivered yet?"

Yu Chigong said contemptuously: "How is it possible? Do you think Goguryeo has such a great ability? And even if the Liaodong garrison failed to send out an urgent report, even the news from the people can reach Chang'an!"

"What's going on?" Cheng Yaojin wondered.

After waiting so long, no one ever doubted Su Cheng, which shows the impression of Su Cheng in the hearts of the courtiers.

But after waiting for so long, there was still no news. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but doubt: "Boy Su, is your news true or false?"

Su Cheng nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course it's true!"

Yu Chigong asked: "But why is there no urgent report from Liaodong?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know!"

Both Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were dumbfounded, what is going on?

Judging by Su Cheng's appearance, it really doesn't look like a fake, and Su Cheng even went to the palace to report to His Majesty, so he must be very convinced.

But there is no urgent report from Liaodong, which makes people wonder.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly asked in a whimsical way: "Su Cheng, it's possible that Goguryeo did not mobilize troops against us, but instead mobilized troops against Silla or Baekje?"

Yu Chigong said unhappily: "If Goguryeo launched an army against Silla or Baekje, what would Su Cheng's people come back to report after going through all kinds of hardships? Su Cheng went to the palace to report to His Majesty again, just for fun?"

Almost all the officials thought so. Since Su Cheng's people ran back to report the news despite the severe cold, and Su Cheng rushed to the palace to report to His Majesty, of course it was certain that Goguryeo was going to launch an army against the Tang Dynasty.

If Goguryeo launched an attack on Silla or Baekje, why be nervous?What is there to report?

Cheng Yaojin patted himself on the forehead and said, "That's true, but there must be something wrong with it!"

Yu Chigong asked: "Su Cheng, could it be that your people made a mistake? Is there any news from Goguryeo during this time?"

Two days ago, there was indeed news from Goguryeo that Yuan Gai Suwen went to several cities in a row, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.

Su Cheng also couldn't help but feel that Yuan Gai Suwen is really worthy of being a famous general of Goguryeo's generation, and he really has two brushes.

When Chang'an was kept in the dark, Su Cheng went to the palace to tell Li Shimin the news.

Li Shimin knew that it was Longyan Dayue, but what he was most concerned about was whether Silla had sent an envoy for help.

This Su Cheng didn't know, after all, his caravan did not reach Silla, but according to speculation, Silla would definitely try to save itself.

I just don't know what choice Baekje will make at this time.

It's hard to say, because Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje conquered each other, and they all had deep grievances.

Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

Team up with Silla to deal with Goguryeo?

Or take advantage of the fire?

There is no doubt that Li Shimin certainly did not want Silla and Baekje to join forces to deal with Goguryeo. In that case, Silla would not come to Datang for help, and he would have no reason to send troops.

However, it is of course impossible to tell Cheng Yaojin and the others about this, Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no news!"

Cheng Yaojin was puzzled and said: "I heard Chumo say that a few days ago, someone from your house seemed to come from afar, didn't they come from Liaodong?"

Su Cheng shook his head decisively and said, "It's not from Liaodong! I really haven't heard from Liaodong again!"

Yu Chigong paced with his hands behind his back: "There is a problem! There is definitely a problem! There is a big problem!"

Cheng Yaojin wondered: "It's strange, didn't the people sent by His Majesty to Liaodong come back?"

Su Cheng slandered, of course I'm back, but you don't know it!

Yu Chigong patted his thigh and said, "Why don't we send a general to Liaodong to investigate?"

Cheng Yaojin shouted: "That's right, let's send our generals to Liaodong to have a look! It's not a problem to keep waiting like this!"

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin and the others really did not expect to send someone to Liaodong to check.

After all, they always thought that the urgent report from Liaodong would arrive soon, maybe tomorrow!

Besides, the emperor should have sent someone to Liaodong to investigate the situation long ago.

But now they really can't wait anymore, and they have some doubts now, is there a war in Liaodong?
