Emperor Zhenguan

Without money or food, people still have a lot to live on.

This is the status quo of Yaliang. Silla has undoubtedly reached a dead end at this time. Its dead end was forced by Baekje and Goguryeo.Years of wars have emptied the vitality of the entire Silla, and now facing the Tang army, they have no resistance at all.

If you hold the beam, you can't keep it.

Five days later, Yaliang City was broken, Jin Yuxin committed suicide, and Jin Chunqiu died in battle.Tang Jun and Baekje's surrendering army went straight to Cheye Huocheng. Hearing the news of Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu's death, the leader of Qiyehuo City surrendered, willing to be the leading party, and led the Tang army soldiers to Jincheng.

The Queen of Silla, Kinderman, actually knew everything. Since the Tang army attacked Silla, she had prepared for the worst. Therefore, after the Tang army besieged the city, she led the noble officials of Silla to open the city and surrender without thinking.Jin Shuxuan did not surrender, he chose to commit suicide.

Regardless of whether the Kims and his sons are powerful ministers of Silla, there is one thing that is undeniable. They are indeed considering issues from the standpoint of Silla, and they have no intention of surrendering.

Therefore, after taking Jincheng, Xu Shiji ordered that Jin's father and son be buried.

As the Tang army entered Jincheng, controlled the inside and outside of the city, and imprisoned all the noble officials and children of the royal family of Silla, Silla was declared destroyed.

"It's done!"

Xu Shiji and Li Junxian stood in the palace, looked at the map, and laughed at each other.

This year, they finally completed the task given by the saint.

Li Junxian said: "In my opinion, this place will definitely recover in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back for a while."

Xu Shiji nodded and said, "This time we marched too fast and destroyed the country too fast. The people's hearts don't belong to us, and there are still many Silla and Baekje nobles fleeing with different ambitions. Sooner or later, troubles will arise."

"It depends on what the saint will do." Li Junxian said: "It was also so difficult when the grassland was leveled at the beginning of the year, but at that time, the grassland was afraid of me like a tiger, and did not dare to cause trouble at will, and there were grassland nobles. Attached, it was stable. Now, the land of Silla is different, if we destroy their country, they must have resentment."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Shiji said, "Sinners like these should be escorted to Chang'an and handed over to the sage for punishment."

"That's right, but I was thinking too much." Li Junxian laughed dumbfounded.

Having said that, both of them knew that it would take a lot of time to completely stabilize this place.

After all, the Tang army actually occupied this place, and the population of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla was not small at all.

When the winter moon was the coldest, Li Junxian led some generals to escort the nobles, royal families, officials, and their families of Silla and Baekje back to Chang'an.

Both Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu were among them. Their performance in the war this time was remarkable, and they made a lot of minor contributions. After returning to Beijing, they will be rewarded to some extent.Gold, silver and jade were not what they were most looking forward to, because they had already got the best things.

War experience!

Both of them were from universities and were taken care of by the generals in the army. They learned a lot of things that cannot be learned in books this year, and the more important thing is the experience in battle, which cannot be learned in books.

Therefore, although they look forward to the saint's reward, they are not obsessed with it, and more of it is to digest and understand their own experience.

"Hiss, it's really cold." Xue Li wrapped his winter clothes tightly, grabbed the reins, and said to Qin Huaiyu beside him, "Fortunately, Silla has been captured, otherwise, at this time, I really don't know what will happen."

Qin Huaiyu led the horse along, glanced past the prison cart, nodded and said: "If it really hits this time, we have to stay here for the New Year."

"Forget it, I want to go back."

"Why go back?" Qin Huaiyu showed a narrow smile on his face, "Say, do you want to go on a tryst with that person!"

After nearly a year of traveling and fighting, Qin Huaiyu is no longer young, but has become mature. There are many wounds on his face, hands, and body, some are arrow wounds, and some are knife wounds. In addition, because of the cold weather, Because of this, many places on his face were frostbitten, and it looked like that.

Xue Li blushed and said nothing.Fortunately, the weather was cold, and everyone's faces were red from the cold, otherwise Qin Huaiyu would have been able to see it.

"Tell me, how did you meet that person." Qin Huaiyu said.

The two of them led a team of scouts to monitor the prison van. There were two tasks. One was to prevent the nobles from Silla and Baekje from escaping, and the other was to prevent some Tang soldiers who did not follow the rules from making mistakes.

After all, the war was bitter and cold, and the men had nowhere to release their blood. When they saw those captured noble women from Silla and Baekje, they would inevitably make mistakes.

Those female family members are not something they can touch, they are all going to be sent to Chang'an and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor.Among them, the very few with outstanding looks were even singled out by Li Junxian to be imprisoned and prepared to be dedicated to the saint.

Although Li Zhiyun had never issued such an order, it did not prevent the subordinates from delving into this way of pleasing the emperor.

But the problem is that the prison car is very closely guarded, and the weather is so cold, escaping at this time is courting death.That's why Qin Huaiyu and Xue Li led the horses for a walk and chatted for a while.

"Ahem, don't talk about Huaiyu, it's inappropriate." Xue Li was rarely embarrassed.

The more he said that, the more curious Qin Huaiyu became, and tried his best to make Xue Li helpless, telling about some insignificant interactions between himself and that person in the past.

After listening, Qin Huaiyu was very envious, and couldn't help recalling the tragic past of his death in Chang'an Society.

"Huaiyu, I remember, you seem to admire His Royal Highness Jinyang." Xue Li said.

Qin Huaiyu nodded generously. Everyone in Chang'an knows about this matter, so there is no need to hide it. Although it is not very honorable to say it, there is no need for him to avoid it now.After he came out to fight, he gradually realized how stupid he was before.

Xue Li said thoughtfully: "That person told me about His Royal Highness Jin Yang."

"What's the matter?" Qin Huaiyu asked hurriedly.

Xue Li said: "It's nothing, just saying that His Highness Jinyang was amused by your arrogant words back then."

Qin Huaiyu felt relieved after hearing this, "That's okay."

Xue Li gave him a strange look, but said nothing.In fact, he himself feels very lucky to be valued by His Royal Highness Yongning, otherwise why would he be so lucky this time to go out with the army.What's more, he knew that without His Majesty's care and someone urging him to study, he might not be able to enter the university.

He couldn't understand Qin Huaiyu's thoughts. The Qin family had a strict family education, and Qin Qiong was a strict old father.Qin Huaiyu has been educated by sticks since he was a child, and he rarely indulges in indulgences, and his mind has always been pure.

After admiring His Royal Highness Jinyang, it's a bit too much to say that I don't think about food and drink, but the depression of lovesickness is true.After experiencing the death of the society, Qin Huaiyu found that what he was most afraid of was not being laughed at when he went out, but the person who hated him.

"Drag it!"

A sound broke the chat between the two, followed the sound, and saw a Baekje nobleman frozen to death in the prison car.Soldiers of the Tang army dragged him out, dug a hole on the spot and buried him.

Before it was placed, it must have been set on fire, but in the current weather, how to burn it, it can only be buried on the spot and pulled down.

"Sigh." Xue Li shook his head and said, "Thinking about it, he was considered a decent person in his life."

"What's decent?" Qin Huaiyu said disdainfully: "My father said that those who refuse to accept our dynasty are all barbarians, and death is not a pity."

The disciples of Wu Xun have always followed the words of the sage as the only criterion.Li Zhiyun said that except for the Tang people, everyone else is barbarians, so it seems to them so.
