Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1173 Neat
The eldest brother is like a father, and if the son does not beat him, it is the father's fault.

A talent like Zhang Daan needs to be refined a bit more. I believe that he will definitely be the prime minister of Datang in the future, provided that his own brother beats him hard enough.

In fact, Zhang Daxiang had also heard about Li Qinzai's deeds.

Back then, Li Qinzai, Zhang Daan had no choice but to bow down in terms of the degree of bastard. Later, for some reason, he suddenly became enlightened. The family business gradually prospered.

Unless struck by lightning, a person does not suddenly become enlightened for no reason.

So, Li Qinzai was really afraid of being beaten up by the elders in the family, so he had to work hard to become a talent in the end?
Zhang Daxiang thought about it for a while, and felt that Li Qinzai's words were highly credible and highly reproducible.

Others get better after being beaten, so why can't my bastard do it?
Seeing the fierce light in Zhang Daxiang's eyes, Li Qinzai was amused, but he said with a straight face: "Don't take what you said just now, Mr. Tan, I just talked about my growth process casually, I'm not trying to stir up trouble and provoke you. Brotherhood..."

Zhang Daxiang hastily said: "I have absolutely no such intentions. I know that Jungong Li said harsh words for the good of the Zhang family."

Li Qinzai said coquettishly: "Beating is just a means, not an end. Our goal is to educate my brother to become a talent. If reasoning can work, then it's best to be reasonable. Don't do it unless it is absolutely necessary. I don't want to see your brother. It hurts so much to be so scarred..."

Zhang Daxiang was very moved when he heard the words, and sighed: "Mr. Li Gaoyi, Zhang has seen it today. Da'an should regard his step as a good teacher and helpful friend. Please ask for help so that the road will not go astray. If Da'an visits the door in the future, I will also invite Mr. Li Do not abandon evil."

Li Qinzai smiled: "Please don't dare to be the one. It's okay to chat and study together, and talk about some principles of life. If your younger brother comes to the door, I will treat you like a guest."

The two bid farewell to each other, and Li Qin loaded the carriage back to the Duke's residence.

As for Zhang Daan... the end is probably not good.

This product is basically the 2.0 version of Gao Qi, with the same routine and ending.

Look at how well-behaved Gao Qi is now, the Gao family's father is so happy from ear to ear, he visits the door to give gifts in person every year and festival, and he keeps thanking the fifth young man of the Li family for his kindness and kindness, helping him to pull his son from the cliff return.

The Zhang family right now, isn't this another cliff jumper?

…………

Back at the Duke's Mansion, as soon as he was lifted off the carriage, Butler Wu greeted him excitedly.

"Wu Shaolang, Goguryeo has another military report!"

Li Qinzai was taken aback: "What?"

Butler Wu said excitedly: "Goguryeo's lord Quan Nanjian and his royal relatives were all captured alive by Sun Renshi's navy, and none of them was missing!"

Li Qinzai said pleasantly, "Take a look at the military newspaper!"

Butler Wu immediately handed over the military newspaper.

The military newspaper was written by Li Ji himself, one copy was sent to Li Zhi, and the other was specially sent to Li Qinzai.

I sent a copy to Li Qinzai because Li Qinzai was not just a junior. In Li Ji's heart, Li Qinzai was a participant in this war. Although he was injured and returned to Chang'an, Li Ji had an obligation to let his grandson grasp the situation ahead.

The military newspaper mentioned above is not so detailed, and it is impossible for Li Ji to write tens of thousands of words eloquently describing how Wang Shi captured the Goguryeo king alive.

But Li Ji still wrote down the general idea.

After the city of Pyongyang was broken, Quan Nanjian, the ruler of Goguryeo, knew that the situation was over, but in despair, he did not have the backbone to die with the city. Instead, he fled north of the city with his family and children when the Tang army was about to break through the inner city.

After Quan Nanjian fled, he immediately boarded a sea boat, intending to sail north and escape to the Mohe tribe in the north.

But Quan Nanjian's little trick was calculated by Li Ji in advance. When the Tang army attacked Pyongyang, Sun Renshi's navy ships patrolled the coastline and blocked all the coastline west of Goguryeo.

Quan Nanjian's sea boat also played tricks. First, he made a suspicious formation and went south, then turned west, and after a large circle in the waters west of Goguryeo, he ordered to go north.

But Master Sun Ren is an experienced naval general, how could he be fooled by him?

No matter how many circles you go around, as long as I seal off the sea route going north, you won't be able to escape.

Except for the Mohe Shiwei and other nomadic tribes in the north, the rest of the land is either the Tang Dynasty or the Wa Kingdom, all of which belong to the Tang Dynasty, and Izumi Nanjian has nowhere to escape.

So after the city of Pyongyang was broken, Izumi Nanjian and his family spent three days of anxiety on the ship, and finally in the waters near Danluo Island, which is the Nanbang Jeju Island in the previous life, more than ten ships of the Datang Navy took Quan Nanjian's ships were surrounded.

Sun Renshi immediately set up an attack formation to kill his whole family. Quan Nanjian was scared to death at that time, and surrendered without saying a word.

A family of more than a hundred members was neatly captured alive by the Datang Navy, and none of them was missing.

General Li Qinzai read the newspaper several times, then slapped his thigh, excitedly said: "All captured alive, well done!"

Butler Wu also said with a smile: "It's the old man who has a long-term vision and plans in advance. Although Master Sun Ren captured him alive, the old man has made more contributions. Wu Shaolang, is this the truth?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Grandpa's contribution is great enough, it doesn't matter if you share it with others."

"That's true. The old man doesn't care about such a little credit. The capital of Goguryeo has been destroyed, and the king has also been arrested. Wu Shaolang, I don't understand military affairs. Is this Goguryeo already destroyed?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Master Wang continues to go south. As long as he breaks through a few cities south of Pyongyang City and advances to the border between Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and Silla, Goguryeo will no longer exist. In other words, it can barely be regarded as annihilation of the country."

Butler Wu said happily: "In this way, the old man's achievements in destroying the country are pretty sure, haha!"

Li Qinzai looked at the military newspaper and smiled. He was a little worried that the Li family would be so popular that they would inevitably be coveted and smeared, but after Li Zhi reassured him, Li Qinzai felt relieved.

The capture of the Goguryeo royal family has more political significance than military significance. It means that there is no regular resistance force in Goguryeo. The garrison that once defended the capital was reduced to a chaotic army at the moment Izumi Nanjian was captured alive.

They lost a unified command, no broad strategic geography, and no sufficient logistical support. They could only grit their teeth and defend the few remaining cities in the south, silently counting down the countdown to the Tang army's siege.

The country of Goguryeo has basically been destroyed at this point, and the remaining resistance is just a disease of mange, which is not enough.

At the same time, it also means that this war of destroying the country has finally come to an end.

Next, Li Ji cannot return to Datang.

Because there is still a war waiting for him, after Goguryeo is destroyed, Datang's war against Silla can be laid out calmly.

Presumably at this time, Li Ji should have ordered [-] Japanese to set off and arrange them on the border between Goguryeo and Silla.

Then, just wait for the Japanese to create friction with Silla at the border.

Before long, the family of the ruler of Silla will sit neatly in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and say to Li Zhi with a smile, "I'm happy here, but I don't think about Silla."

If Li Zhiruo was drunk, Quan Nanjian and the Lord of Silla, Kim Famin, danced a pas de deux. The picture must be very beautiful, but there is something wrong...
