Datang Nongwang

Chapter 929

"Shande, don't disappoint my expectations of you." Before Li Shimin left, he patted Li Chongyuan on the shoulder and left this sentence.

It's not like he hasn't done such a thing before on the battlefield.

But this time, it was a marching chief who was replaced.

Zhang Liang was taken away by him.

He took away all the people Li Chongyuan arrested from Xiangzhou.

Li Chongyuan looked at the distant figure of the boat, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

No one could tell what Li Chongyuan was thinking at this time, and no one could tell whether Li Chongyuan had been promoted to the post of Chief of the Canghai Road March, whether he had been promoted or not.

Li Chongyuan still remembered.

The eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji who followed Li Shimin all the time.

That look made Li Chongyuan very uncomfortable.

Ever since Changsun Wuji landed with Li Shimin, he has been staring at Li Chongyuan, never leaving for even a moment.

The eyes of Changsun Wuji made Li Chongyuan seem to see a kind of conspiracy, and also seemed to see that his eldest grandson Wuji was afraid of Li Chongyuan.

Yes.

When Li Chongyuan was in Beijing, he appointed a prime minister whom Li Shimin trusted very much.

But now, Li Shimin is such a trustworthy marching chief.

Perhaps, Changsun Wuji was suspicious, and the next thing Li Chongyuan wanted to do was his eldest grandson Wuji.

Come on.

Li Chongyuan and his eldest grandson's family did not have any intersection.

If it wasn't for his eldest grandson Wuji's son who made people want to kill Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan would never have any intersection with his eldest grandson's family.

But because of the matter of Changsun Yan, Li Chongyuan has been criticized by Changsun Wuji for so many years.

Although we came here, it didn't have much influence on Li Chongyuan.

But Changsun Wuji is comparable to Fang Xuanling in Li Chongyuan's heart.

There are many tricks behind the scenes, but fortunately, his eldest grandson Wuji is afraid of being suspected by the world, or leaving a bad reputation in the history books.

Although Li Shimin granted him many official positions, even the position of prime minister, his eldest grandson Wuji kept refusing it.

And now.

After Fang Xuanling's downfall, Li Shimin once again assigned the position of left prime minister to his eldest grandson Wuji, and became a real powerful figure worthy of the name.

But still.

Although Changsun Wuji was given the Zuo Pu shot by Li Shimin, he still refused, as if he was still the same as before, fearing that outsiders would say that he was promoted and reused by Li Shimin because of his sister.

What Changsun Wuji thought, Li Chongyuan didn't know.

But Li Chongyuan remembered his eyes.

It was because of his eyes that Li Chongyuan remembered it.

Tang Li and the others were very excited. Seeing Li Chongyuan's expressionless face, they were a little puzzled, "Young Lord, this is the job of the manager. Why don't you see Xiaolang, you are happy?"

"There is no joy in war. In war, people will die, and many people will die." Li Chongyuan really couldn't be happy.

original.

He only came here for his two aunts.

But the result has changed.

Although Li Chongyuan has never fought a war, he also knows that war brings only death.

The death of the soldiers, the death of the servant, and even the people around him may also die.

Li Chongyuan was born and grew up in New China in his previous life. All he had in his mind was images from movies or TV dramas, but he had never faced war.

If it is to fight against the Japanese country, Li Chongyuan will not say anything, even if he is not a soldier or a soldier, as long as he is given the opportunity, Li Chongyuan will definitely rush forward.

And in this world.

The fight was Goguryeo. Although Li Chongyuan's impression of Goguryeo was very poor, Li Chongyuan really didn't want to lead his own people to the battlefield unless it was necessary.

Because Li Chongyuan knew.

What will be the result of Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition.

And he knew even more that many people would die and many people would be injured during this Eastern Expedition.

In fact, Li Chongyuan knew that Li Shimin did not adopt other people's opinions and insisted on going his own way, which eventually led to the stagnation of the war and was stuck in Anshi.

Although Li Chongyuan knew the result, Tang Li and the others didn't know, "My lord, people will die in the war. Besides, our Tang Dynasty is so powerful, and this time our Tang Dynasty sent more than [-] troops, is it still equal?" A little Goguryeo?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiaolang. The small country of Goguryeo is so disobedient. If I, Tang Dynasty, don't teach me a lesson, will Goguryeo want to become a state in the future? Besides, this time, my Tang Dynasty sent more than [-] troops. Little one Goguryeo, I'm afraid it only takes two or three months to end the war." Liu Xiang is also so sure.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.

Everyone thinks well.

But everyone didn't know that since Li Shimin ascended the throne of Emperor Tang, he began to gradually stop listening to other people's opinions.

Because of the former prince, Wei Zheng has been marginalized.

Yuchi Jingde is also old and sick.

Fang Xuanling was assigned.

Many people he once trusted were either old, sick, or dead.

It can be said that there is no one who can persuade Li Shimin.

Li Chongyuan wanted to persuade him.

But Li Chongyuan also knew that he was a junior, and Li Shimin might not be able to listen to what he said, let alone the one who wanted to make Li Shimin famous at this time.

It is even more impossible for Changsun Wuji to persuade Li Shimin.

On the surface of the sea, there is no shadow of the boat.

After a long sigh, Li Chongyuan was about to go back to his boat.

And this time.

Su Dingfang trotted over, with joy on his face, "Director Li, the general will come to report."

"General Su, congratulations." Li Chongyuan looked at Su Dingfang and said.

Su Dingfang chuckled, "Junwang Li, I am now your soldier. If Junwang Li has any orders, please speak."

"Since you say that, then I will really speak." Li Chongyuan knew that Su Dingfang was joking, and he followed his words.

He stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and smiled again.

After the joke, Li Chongyuan pointed to a secluded place.

After the two passed by, Li Chongyuan asked: "Cang Hai Dao, how many soldiers are available at present?"

"Going back to Prince Li, there are 3000 people." Su Dingfang replied.

Li Chongyuan continued to ask: "How many ships? Among the 3000 people, how many can actually fight?"

"The total number of ships and King Li's is 3000. There are 8000 warships, and the rest can only be used for transportation. Among the [-] people in our army, only [-] can be used for combat. " Su Dingfang replied like a treasure.

Li Chongyuan was willing to ask Su Dingfang instead of other generals in Canghai Road, firstly because Li Chongyuan believed in Su Dingfang.

The second is to test and compare Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang in the history books, just as Li Chongyuan expected, is indeed the strength that a general should have.

When Li Chongyuan asked, he didn't need anyone's reminder at all, he could tell all about his own situation.

Li Chongyuan nodded, "8000 people, which is a bit small. Add the people from my side and make up 2 people. From the remaining personnel, you can pick another 1 people and recruit another 2 people. Collect a fifty thousand soldiers and horses."

"Junwang Li, although the Holy Majesty has granted the authority to recruit soldiers, it is too much. Besides, the main task of our department is to transport food and grass, and it is not the main offensive force." Su Dingfang was a little embarrassed.

Li Chongyuan patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder, "Be bold. Now that I have become the chief of the Canghai Road, I don't want the soldiers under me to only be in charge of logistics and not be able to earn credit. How, this time to destroy Goguryeo."

"Okay! However, this can only be done on the Zousheng." Su Dingfang shouted "Hello" loudly, and then he was a little worried.

Li Chongyuan knew what he was worried about.

Worried about the [-] soldiers recruited.

after all.

Recruiting soldiers is simple, but after these soldiers arrive, their weapons may be worn out, at least help them solve the problem of weapons.

There is also the question of armor.

But Li Chongyuan was not worried at all.

Although the 2 people he planned to recruit could be used as actual combat soldiers, this was not what Li Chongyuan had in mind.

Li Chongyuan nodded, "I will write the playbook, you act quickly, and within a month, 2 people must be recruited."

Su Dingfang nodded heavily and went.

Li Chongyuan spoke with other generals of Canghai Road and passed down instructions.

Then went back to his boat.

As soon as he got back to the boat, Li Chongyuan immediately went back to Xisha Island on a paddle steamer.

Now that I have become the general manager of the Canghai Road, and the ships are dispatched and used by myself, I don't have to worry about others taking my ship away.

The eight trips back to Xisha Island are to recruit all the ships to participate in this Eastern Expedition.

"Auntie, Auntie Huan, you have also seen that I was appointed by the Holy One to be the head of the Canghai Road Marching, so I plan to let you two lead the left and right roads, and I ask Auntie and Auntie Huan not to say that I make you hard. "Li Chongyuan had some apologies on his face.

Chen Juan laughed, and Chen Huan also laughed.

After laughing, Chen Juan gently hugged Li Chongyuan, "Shande, my aunt is very happy that you are here today. My aunt also knows that you want us to have an identity. Since Yu'er can think so for my aunt, Auntie is not working hard."

"Yes, Shande. Aunt Huan, I'm happy." Chen Huan didn't seem to be the same as before, and always liked to fight against Li Chongyuan.

Maybe it's just getting older.

Perhaps it was because of Li Chongyuan's decision this time that he changed.

They have no status in Datang.

But now, Li Chongyuan wants to push them to the front, and even prepares to let them lead the way, which is obviously to make them generals.

There are no female generals in history.

Even Li Shimin's younger sister, Princess Pingyang Zhao, is a heroine.

but.

Li Xiuning, the Princess of Pingyangzhao, once held a heavy army and blazed a bloody road for Datang.

However, in the history books, there are very few records of this heroine's deeds compared to those so-called princes, and even after her death, it is only mentioned in a few words.

But Li Chongyuan knew that this Pingyang Zhao Princess Li Xiuning was a strange woman who used military ceremony at her funeral.

Li Chongyuan didn't have a chance to meet him, but it didn't affect his admiration for Li Xiuning.

And now.

Li Chongyuan wanted to use his own identity to give his two aunts an identity, and even wanted to shape them into the new heroines of the Tang Dynasty.

a few days later.

Ships from Xisha Island all came to Laizhou Port.

The recruitment of Su Dingfang is also in progress.

The memorial sent by Li Chongyuan to Youzhou also received a response from Li Shimin a few days later.

One word, yes.

Isn't Li Shimin afraid of Li Chongyuan's rebellion?
Maybe I was worried before.

After so many things, Li Shimin no longer worried that Li Chongyuan would turn against Datang.

Li Shimin has been paying attention to Li Chongyuan since he started asking for gunpowder.

But all these years, Li Chongyuan's movements seemed to be silent.

A month later.

Su Dingfang did not recruit the planned 2 people, but only recruited more than [-] people.

But Li Chongyuan couldn't wait any longer, because Li Shimin had already left Yingzhou.

Recruiting [-] soldiers is really impossible, and Li Chongyuan's requirement is to be strong and strong.

someday.

Li Chongyuan ordered all the generals above the school lieutenant to discuss matters.

"Everyone, the Holy Majesty has arrived in Yingzhou. According to my guess, the Holy Majesty will launch an attack on Goguryeo in the middle of next month. There is not much time left for us." Li Chongyuan looked at the generals of the Canghai Road and said. .

The generals were speechless, each thinking about how to cooperate with the main force in Yingzhou to attack.

At the same time, they were waiting for Li Chongyuan's order.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Li Chongyuan nodded lightly and said: "Su Dingfang, I order you to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to board the ship tomorrow and set off."

"Lieutenant General, I order you to stay in Laizhou and continue to supervise the transportation of grain and grass."

"."

this day.

Li Chongyuan gave countless orders.

And as Li Chongyuan's order was issued, all parties worked.

Day two.

Su Dingfang boarded the super-A paddle steamer he had been looking forward to for a long time, commanded [-] soldiers and horses, and boarded other ships in batches.

Another general, like Su Dingfang, led [-] soldiers and horses, and boarded a super-A paddle steamer.

Chen Juan and Chen Huan each led [-] soldiers and horses, and they sat on a super-A paddle steamer.

And Li Chongyuan's boat was also a super-A paddle steamer, and the troops he led were also [-].

A total of [-] soldiers and horses, plus some miscellaneous, the quota is [-].

More than [-] people were recruited and stayed in Laizhou Port.

Li Chongyuan wanted a strong and strong man in order to carry grain and grass.

Li Chongyuan didn't need too many people, let alone too many ships, when he set off on the expedition.

Each of the five routes will lead [-] or [-] paddle steamers, which are completely enough to carry these soldiers.

Dozens of paddle steamers were left behind to carry grain and grass. Li Chongyuan believed that as long as the grain and grass could be transported to Laizhou Port in time, the grain and grass ahead would not be afraid of running out.

After waiting for a few more days, the soldiers who boarded the ship were also familiarized with the situation on the ship for a few days. News came from the front that the war had begun.

"Let's go." Li Chongyuan gave an order, and nearly a hundred paddle steamers, large and small, sailed out of Laizhou Port.

The direction the boat was heading was not Yingzhou.

A day and a half later, at night.

The huge fleet came to the north side of Yalu River in Goguryeo, southwest of Dahang City.

"Report to the manager, report from the front, Su Dingfang's forward was attacked by the enemy when he landed!" Li Chongyuan heard the news from the ship ahead.

Go to war as soon as you land.

Li Chongyuan had already expected it.

When I came to the sea of ​​Goguryeo, I encountered some Goguryeo warships, but none of them could escape the pursuit of the paddle steamer.
