Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1035

After resting in Liaocheng for a few days, Tang Jun marched towards Chang'an City under the leadership of Li Shimin.

When they came, it could be said that they were very ambitious, but when they left, they were all somewhat disappointed.

They have also been defeated and humiliated in the Tang Dynasty, but after they wiped out the Turks, they couldn't bear such a failure.

The whole team seemed a little lifeless.

After Li Shimin discovered this situation, he was also helpless.

He also knew that these soldiers were unhappy, but what could he say now?

The team walked like this, and it was winter in a blink of an eye.

After the winter, the weather is abnormally cold, and the frozen people shiver a little.

The soldiers felt uncomfortable and had to endure the cold weather, so they couldn't help but become a little irritable.

On this day, they had just set up camp, and some soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Shame, this is simply a shame to my Great Tang."

"That's right, let's go back like this, what face do we have to meet our relatives in Chang'an?"

"Facing the people of Chang'an without a face, when we go back this time, no one will welcome us."

"Oh, we are losers."

"No, we can't be losers, we have to go to the Holy One, and we have to continue the battle with Goguryeo."

"That's right, continue the battle with Goguryeo."

A group of soldiers yelled, and then rushed directly to Li Shimin's big tent.

After getting closer to the countryside, these people care more about face, and want to make some achievements, because they have a sense of shame.

They seemed to suddenly understand why Xiang Yu didn't care about Jiangdong back then, because he felt ashamed to go back.

Now that they have lost the battle, they will have no face to go back.

Li Shimin was resting in the big tent, the noise outside was very loud, Li Shimin frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

A guard hurried in: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are not willing to go back like this, they are all shouting outside, wanting to continue the battle with Goguryeo."

After hearing the guard's words, Li Shimin's heart suddenly ached.

The men in his Tang Dynasty are all good men, but it is a pity that he encountered Goguryeo's infinite formation, and he couldn't break through the formation, so what's the use of going back?

Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and then walked out. When he walked out, Li Ji, Qin Shubao, and Qin Tian were already there.

Facing such excited soldiers, they didn't know what to say.

They lost this battle, and they felt uncomfortable. They also wanted to go back and fight Goguryeo, but could they go back?

Soldiers may not need reason, but they must have it.

The soldiers were still yelling non-stop, and when Li Shimin walked out, they yelled even harder.

"My lord, please let us go back and fight Goguryeo."

"My lord, even if we die, we must defeat Goguryeo and defend our dignity in the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, we can't just go back like this, or the people of Tang Dynasty will be heartbroken."

"........."

The soldiers shouted loudly, Li Shimin glanced at them and waved his hands: "Quiet."

After Li Shimin spoke, the entire barracks fell silent, and all the soldiers stared at Li Shimin with indignation and excitement in their eyes.

"I can understand the feelings of all the soldiers. After I lost the battle, do I feel comfortable? I also feel uncomfortable, but what can we do? Go back and fight Goguryeo?"

Li Shimin looked at everyone, and before these soldiers could speak, he continued: "Desperate, anyone can do it, but this can solve the problem, can I let Datang win the battle? You just sacrificed your life for nothing. From now on, who will be responsible for the safety of my Tang Dynasty? Only by living can I have hope. Before my Tang Dynasty, I was able to endure even signing a shameful treaty with the Turks, so why can’t I endure a few defeats now?”

Li Shimin's voice echoed in the barracks, it was so loud that it shook people's hearts.

"I swear to you here that I will put down Goguryeo and the others in this life, and wash away our shame. Now, you will take care of me well, and when you return to Chang'an City, just step up training for me."

After the words fell, even if Li Shimin had finished speaking, the soldiers looked at each other, and finally went back one after another after a long time.

Now they have understood Li Shimin's ambition, and all they can do after understanding is to go back to Beijing to accumulate strength for revenge in the future.

The shame in their hearts has not receded, but they have slowly regained their senses and know what they can do in the future.

The barracks slowly returned to calm, the soldiers performed their duties, Qin Tian and others followed Li Shimin back to the big tent.

Sitting on it, Li Shimin sighed softly: "It's my fault for this imperial conquest. I shouldn't have sent troops rashly without being prepared."

As an emperor, he seldom admits mistakes, but Li Shimin did admit it at this time. After hearing this, Li Ji and others felt a dull pain in their hearts.

The proud Li Shimin said such a thing, so he must be very uncomfortable inside, right?

No one spoke because they didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the big tent was somewhat dignified, and after a long time, Li Shimin waved his hand: "Forget it, let it be, let's all retreat, retreat."

Li Shimin let them go, but no one left. Li Shimin looked up at them and said, "Everyone go back and rest, I...it's fine."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone finally left, but when they left, they all knew that Li Shimin had something to do, and this time's failure hit him again.

This made him understand that their Great Tang was not as powerful as imagined, otherwise it would be impossible to be invincible against a small Anshicheng.

As night fell, the barracks became even colder, with torches lit everywhere, quiet, quiet.

Qin Tian lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

Is it difficult to break the infinite formation?
It is very difficult for many people, but if he really wants to break it, it is not impossible. Even breaking the Wuji formation and destroying Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje is not a problem.

But, does he really want to do that?
Qin Tian was very tangled.

This Great Tang was supposed to be superior to all heroes, and he should be invincible. This Great Tang should not accept any failures, but now this Great Tang has failed.

The failure covered the dazzling Tang Dynasty with a layer of dust, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Tian sat up from the bed, he looked outside, the cold wind was howling outside, except for the light of the fire lit by the soldiers, it was difficult to see anything, there was no moon or stars.

After a long time, Qin Tian lay down again.

Perhaps for Li Shimin, failure is a good thing.
